Presbyterians to , Recruit Ministers "Christian Education and Train ing for Leadership" will be the gen eral subject to be stressed through the 9,600 Presbyterian churches dur ing January. A special appeal will be made for the parental dedication and training of youths for Christian service, for the responsibility of the local church and its officers for en couraging the best youth to prepare for such service. Young men will be asked to de vote their lives and service to the ministry, missions or other Christian work; the laity will be urged to undertake a progressive series of tasks and activities in the church and community; the church will be called on for the proper support of institutions that provide Christian leadership. Special attention will be devoted to Christian education in the home, in the church, in Bible schools, pastors' classes and Presby terian Colleges. Every pastor will preach one or more sermons on the subjects men R UM FOR Q I I I THE WHOLESOME! t§^P BAKING POWDER |O*E POUKM 13)!

It is said that when cotton j seeds are roasted they have an j aroma and a taste resembling coffee.

MADE BT SCOTT & BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTTS EMULSION HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss j In the damp autumn woods the "fox | fires" glow, light is mysterious, | ghostly, startllngly bright when it j | catches the corner of the eye amid i the enhanced darkness of night in a ! j forest, but nebulous, wavering, If j looked at intently. The lord of the ! midnight, the red fox, himselt, might i be imagined slinking away, in sua-j pieious fear, from the neighborhood l fl'is silent, cold, spectral, firelight which haunts old stumps and decay ing trunks of trees that fell, over- I t onie with age, a generation ago. strange as the avowal may seem,! 1 would not exchange the memory of my boyhood thrills over the mys tery of fox lire for all the de-mysti- I Jing science that I have since: learned about it. The latter can be! comnninicated to anybody; the for-: iner to those only whose lives are not summed up in "the day's work," and ! the day's play. But the science of "fox fire" is in tensely interesting, too. The light is believed to be caused by the phos- '<■ phorescence of a kind of fungus, called Agaricus melleus, which flour ishes about the roots of trees and i sends its microscopic filaments into 1 the rootstock, or base of the trunk ! causing decay. These filaments coil-: i tlnue alive in the rotting wood, and J one property of their vital activity is i to give forth a pale, glimmering light. | j To be sure, here is a mystery still, i for science is not able, yet, to explain precisely how or why the light is pro duced. But, at any rate, there is at I least a step toward explanation, l which serves to banish the superst itious way of looking at such things j which formerly prevailed. To say i that dead wood gives forth light is certainly more mystifying than to say that minute organisms, living In the dead wood, gives forth the light. The | latter then becomes no more myster | ions than the light of a firefly. If familiarity "breeds contempt," : | it also breeds insensibility to myster ies. We are absolutely swallowed up 1 in mystery, and there is not a single ; explanation that science offers, of | anything whatever, that cannot be t shown to rest ultimately on mystery. But, after we have invented a chain of explanations we get so far away j from the underlying mystery that we | ignore it. "Fox fire" is the most romantic, 1 i but it is not by any means the only ; kind of phosphorescence displayed jby organic matter. Decaying fish ! j and other animal substances glow | strangely in the dark. In their case j the light producing organisms are 1 bacteria, and sometimes the micro scopic individuals whose united ac i tion causes the mysterious glow ap pear as shinigg points amid the i inert matter about them. The per j haps doubtful accounts of faint lumi \ nous haze hovering over the surface j of the bodies of persons recently de ceased have been tentatively ex-1 i plained as due to some similar source i of phosphorescent action. A gigantic and marvelously beau tiful display of the strange light-pro ducing power of phosphorescent or ganisms Is often witnessed at sea, for the exhibitions of "waves of fire" to which voyagers on the ocean are sometimes treated are scientifically ascribed fo swarms of floating lumi nous organisms, such as protoza (primitive animal life) and proto- [ phvta (primitive plant life). Why should these little, simple, primitive organ'sms possess the ex traordinary power which larger and advanced forms lack to make light? j We do not know, but there may he some hidden significance In the fol lowing brief sequence of facts: These organisms lie close to the point where physical life originates; light Is a form of electricity; electricity seems to be the foundation of life as well as of matter. Phosphorescence also pertains to mineral matter. Sometimes it is a direct result of the action of sunlight upon such matter. Thus some dia monds after being exposed to si rone light will glow in the dark. There are many examples of this kind of phosphorescence. Indeed, the whole earth possibly possesses a slight light-radiating property, which may be the combined effect of various phosphorescent activities going on upon its surface. There are many unexplained ap pearances which might be due to this cause. Strangey luminous nights have occasionally been known. In this connection there Is a remarkable passage in one of Arngo's contribu tions to the French "Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes" about "the fn.'nt, diffused light which guides the steps of the traveler in cloudy, star less and moonless nights In autumn and winter, even when there is no I snow on the ground." Germany Brands Propaganda Charge as a "Fairy Tale" Berlin. Nov. 28.—1t is semi-officlally I announced that the German govern- . menl's reply to the recent note of the j Entente sent by M. Clemenccau. re fers to an alleged official announce-1 r.ient Irsued in Paris September 20, stating that the allied and associated! powers had decided to anticipate the i date of the ratification of the Treaty as far as the repatriation of German] prisoners were concerned-. "Germany, therefore," the an nouncement says, "finds France's de nial of this promise incomprehen sible." The government further expresses surprise at the "fairy tale" concern ing alleged propaganda against the Allies, which it considers unworthy of inclusion in an official document, according to the announcement. AMERICANS IN EGYPT During the war, as tho story now comes out, a correspondent and his party arrived at I.uxor on the Nile; and "We were given a reception," says he, "which had not been equaled since Roosevelt came back from hunting elephants." For four years past the Egyptian guides ol ancient Thebes, who conduct tourists to places of interest, had been longing for the good old days of the plenti ful American tourist, and somo 300 fairly mobbed the travelers in their joy at sight of them. There wer guides grabbing suit cases, guides contending for the privilege of carrying the camera, guides tugging at the travelers' coats. Porters from the hotel res cued them and got them aboard the hotel bus, and guides swarmed over the vehicle distributing their cards. The war was a sad thing for the guides, and the lament of one of them, no doubt voicing the brief of many another, paid tribute to the I United States as the mother of prof | itable pilgrims. "American tourist he come no ! more," lamented the old Arab. "All jwe guides starve. Oh, woe! Oh. [woe! Me guide here 35 yenrs. Only real tourist in the world Is you Americans. If American see some thing he want, he say, 'How much?" You tell him, and no matter what price is, he say, 'All right, wrap her up.' Why President no stop the I war, and why you Americans send money and food to Armenians and nothing to poor, starving guides of Egypt?"— Christian Science Monitor.
