In ii ler to meet tho demands of orders received some additions had to Ikj made.

After the work on tho new pits Is completed tho vulcan cranes will be constantly carry ing tho Ingots from the pits and will eventually Increase the output at the works. The first set of pits which were put In place have been overtaxed with work and the material composing the pits has consequently given way to the strain, causing an Idleness in the near future. The walls will have to be torn out and replaced by a heavier material. The gas-producers will also have to bo repaired and enlarged, in order that they may bo able to furnish gas for the additional pits.

It was based upon Hebrews 11. The speaker said In part: "Every messsage God has sent to us Is worthy of the closest nttentlon. He has never spoken except for our good. We are never so happy as when we are obey ing God's voice. Our text teaches that God bus often spoken to man, at dif ferent times and In various ways. Ho spoke to our first parents in the gar den 6,000 years ago. How happy they would have been if they had obeyed him. God spoke to Moses, to Abraham, to Jacob and many of the patriarchs. But In these later days he has spoken unto us by his son. Now we may learn something nbout the Im portance of this message by the char acter of the one chosen to bring It from the skies. The object of the epistle to the Hebrews Is to show the exalted character of Christ and to warn us not to reject His message. This Is done to point out that wheras God spoke In time past to tho angels and prophets He now speaks to us by His son."

The Greeks and Romans, whose customary drink was wine, often mixed It with sea water. Other ancient beverages were honey nnd rain water: honey, salt water and vinegar; and a mixture of honey and myrtle seed. Homer speaks of a wine to which twenty time. as much water could bo added. The Itoman lover, when drink ing to his lady, often drank ae many cups of wine as there wero letters in her name. Warm water was some times regarded by tho Romans as an agreeable drink at the conclusion of tlia chief meal. It Is safe to nnsume that this was not in summer time. Famous among drinkers wero the Viklns, whose liquors were ale, beer, wine and mead. Quaffing ale from tho skulls of their enemies formed ono of the chief attractions of the prom ised Valhalla. All through our history wo find a love of drinking prevalent among tho people. A drink much In demand in the time of Chauneer was bracket, mado of tho wort of ale, honey and spices, ny the time of Edward IV drinking had become so productive of crlmo that few places wero allowed more than two taverns. London had to bo content with forty. Under tho Stuarts drunkenness was at Its height. Thirst provokers were largely taken, and a man's claim to distinction was largely duo to his bottle capacity, while ladles of tho court thought It no shame to become Inebriated.

Indeed, the scenes of Hogarth arc but a side light of tho times. Signs were hung outside tavers Informing the thirsty wayfarer that he "could get drunk for a penny," and "dead drunk for a two pence." Such notices often ended with, tho significant words, "Clean straw for nothing. With the reign of Georgo IV disappeared fashionable Intemper ance, and "drunk as a lord" was no longer a correct simile. The aerated waters now so largely used were first mode on a large scale by Schweppo of Geneva In 17S7, and ten years later a factory was established In England. There is still a fortune awaiting tho man who can Invent a summer drink devoid of the shortcomings possessed by those at present In the market.
