"The Problem of Wages" Is the ser
mon topic announced by Dr. Pierce for
Sunday evening. While the pastor will
doubtless present the religious and
spiritual lessons of the hour, he will
. also speak upon some of the practical
matters which engage the thought of
both employers and the employed. Dr.
Pierce's attitude concerning the social
problems has been that of a fair
minded man, and his utterances have
been heard upon all local matters with
interest. He has expressed a wish that
the officers and members of the Central
Labor union, the Citizens' alliance, the
Builders' exchange, and all organiza
tions representing both employers and
labor interests might hear and kindly
consider, nt least, one proposition he
has to offer.

CONTEXT. Between last lesson and this there
nto but sKteen verses. These contain the le
malnder of I'ctcr's sermon, delivered on the day
nf Pentecost, in which ha explained the wonder
ful phcnoiniiiii iitlend.uit upon tho outpouring
of the Holy Spilll. After Ids quotation horn tho
pioplict Joel, vvlildi wu slullcd hist vvrek, he ad
dressed the Jews lu n Ulieel iiui uiiiinpassion-u
manner. Ills clloit was to nnw mat Jesus, wnoin
thev hail crucified, was the Christ whom the na
tion in all its history had expected, tint t!i2
lcsuneetiou of .Ictus fioni tho dead was In ful
fillment of picdictkns nuide by David, and tint
Jesus had ascended to the light hand of the fa
ther, the place of supreme power and nuthoiity.
This was a bold declaration lor the lldierniin
aiMstle to make lu the vciy city whcic, n few
weeks before, his Milcr had been put lo death
by the dlgnltatics of the .lunch under the b mo
tion of the Human government and amidst the
clamor of tho mob.
CONVICTION. (Vcive 37) Tltc logic of tint
nddrcM was irresistible. Je-us was the Me
fd.ih, long expected, he li.ul been crucified by

A GIANT CAMERA.
It Mnkc3 a Nogatlvo Conttilninfj
Eighty Squaro Eeot.
Fiom the Scientific Ameiiean.
The Iniftest cnniernsi nrr stnull when
rompnreil with one cupnhle of taldtii; a
noKullvo 8 feet by 10 feut, or !10 by 120
Inches. A eameni of this size wsis re
quired by the Pulltnnn works for hiking
s-'onie special train photographs eoinu
of which visitors will recollect scoIiib
at tho Furls exposition.
Some details ot construction of this
huge camera arc as follows: The bed
Is composed of four 2xG Inch cherry
beams, and In about 20 feet long when
fully extended. The bellows Is made
with an outside coverliifr of heavy rub
ber, each fold belns: stiffened by u piece
of whltcwood a cpinrter of nu inch
thick. It was then lined Inside with
heavy black canvas and an additional
UnltiK of thick black opaque material
used. In tho construction of this bel
lows over forty gallons of cement, two
bolts of wide rubber cloth and 000 feet
of tiuarter-lnch whltcwood were used.
Tho bellows Is divided into four sec
tions, and between each section Is n
supporting frame, mounted on small
wheels, which run on a steel tiack. The
back supporting the plate holder Is op
erated as easily as In an ordinary
camera.
The instrument has double swing
front and back, and at the rear Is a
small, track on which two focusing
screens are moved back and forth like
a sliding door. The plate holder Is of
the curtain typo; this curtain contains
about eighty square feet of ash thrce
olsrhts of an Inch thick, and is liiu'd
with three thicknesses of light proof
material. Over ten gallons of cement
were used In the construction of the
curtain, which is mounted on u ball
bearing roller. Ball-bearing rollers are
also mounted at every two Inches In
the grooves In which the edge of he
curtain slides, thereby reducing the
fraction to almost nothing. The weight
of the camera Is BOO pounds, and the
weight of tlie plate holder.when loaded.
Is SOO pounds, or a total camera weight
of 1,100 pounds. Tho camera is so con
structed that after a long journey It
may be dusted In a unlnue manner.
The holder Is put in position, the large
front board, or front door, as It may be
called. Is swung open; the operator
passes inside, the door Is then closed,
and a ruby glass cap Is placed over the
lens, the curtain slide Is drawn, and the
operator dusts tho plate In it portable
dark room, after which the slide Is
closed and he passes out In the same
way as lie enteied.
The Zeiss lenses for the camera are
the largest photographic lenses ever
made, one being a wide angle lens, with
an cnulvalent focus of live and one
hair feet, and tho other being a tele
scopic rectilinear lens of ten feet equiv
alent focus. The latter was vied in
photographing the Alton Limited. Tlie
exposure wan tv. o and eme-lmlf min
utes on a t'r.iiner isocliromiUlc plate,
this special plate being used to pre
serve the color value of the train.
Three of these huge prints were exhib
ited at the Paris exposition, and caused
considerable comment on account of
their size.
CANADA'S GOLD YIELD.
Her-iarltablD Increase In Output
of
the Dominion.
ITiun ill.1 Indianapolis News.
Compared with the United States, the
Dominion of Canada Is still lu Its In
fancy as a producer of tho hidden
wealth of nature's treasure stores. Rut
It Is a lusty infancy, nnd tho facts re
lating to Canada's advance la this di
rection are of deep Interest to Ameri
cans. Tho domlnfciu statistician, Georgo
Johnston, has Just completed nn exam
ination into the comparative develop
ment of tho mineral outmit of both
countrlryj. Canada's yield lust year wan
only one-seventeenth of that of tho
United States, but, based on ponula
tlon, It represented a value of $12.0(1 per
capita, compared with Sl-l.Oa In the
United States.
Canada's Incretise uer capita hi the
decennial period. IS'Jl to 1001, was a
fraction short or double that of the
United States, being $S.H, ugnlnst $1.11
for tho United States. Ten yunrs ago
Canada's mineral yield would have to
be multiplied by eighty-four to bring It
up to thai or the United States, where
as last yenr the figure ImiT been cut
down to seventeen. At thin rate, the
dominion stntfhtlclan remarks. It will
not hike Ciiuidit long to pass the Unit
ed States.
A notable fact gathered from Mr.
Johnston's cmuullation Is Unit 17 per
cent, of tho entire metul production ot
tho United States last year inino from
the furnaces which melted the Iron
ores, while 4 per cent, only wan tho
figure In Canuda, Gold represents tho
largest patt of tho Increase In Canada.
In 1801 tho gold produced In the domin
ion was only Si, 150,000, whereas hist
year It was .y.JTV.JOS.OOO.
Tho metallic products of Canada
chiefly comprlso gold, sliver, lead,
nickel, copper, zlno and pig Iron; while
In the United States, besides these,
there are produced quicksilver, uutt
mony, platinum anil aluminum, which
do not unpeur In tho Canada returns.
Antimony Is found lu one province of
Canada, Nova Scotia, und was ut ouo
time produced to a small extent, but tt
lawsuit stopped operations. Aluminum,
although not yet produced lu Canuda,
exists In deposits to the extent of mill
ions of tons.
Since Canada began producing gold it
has added $130,600,000 worth to Iho
world's store o; the metnl. Of this,
over $52,000,000 eanw from thu Canadian
Yukon old fields. Jn other parts of
Canada the yield of gold lust year wus
$5,610,000, un Incfcusej of SI.SW.OOO over
lb9l. in Canu)da the output of, copper
Is trilling compured with that of tho
United State', pay umojintlng to a
little over $3,000,000 lust yur, compared
with $98,000,000 In theXUiilted Stutes.

Mr, Henry Ourney sends us somi"
extracts from a letter recently received
from Mr. Alan Lennox, a missionary
lesldlng In Marakesh, of which we pub
lish the following: After describing
tho condition of the well-to-do prison
ers In the kasbah, the writer continues:
"Hut tlio had and henrtrendlng sight Is
the two dungeons, each containing 100
of the poorest prisoners huddled to
gether, many almost destitute of cloth
ing. These dungeons aro dug out of
the solid earth, the toofs, w'nlls and
lloor being of damp olay, and two small
holes lu the roof ndni.lt light nnd ven
tilation. TJie condition' of these wretch
es Is beyond description: crammed to
gether with scarcely enough Sfictce to
llo down, amid stench, lllth and diabase,
they eke out lhelr mlserajile existence
without hope of release c-;t?gijt.ii death.
With hunger ever cniiwi"nff.knttholf
