Explanation of An Alleged Wonderful Miracle. ;: SANDFORDTOHISCRITICS Miss Olive A- Mills Asserts That Af ter Having Died She Was Brought to Life by the Chief of the Holy Ghost and Us 8oclety. If the testimony of all the one hun dred and fifty inmates of the templo Is to be believed, tho Rov. Dr. Frnnk Sandford, Chief of the Holy Ghost and Us School, and leader of the world's evangelization movement, with Its headquarters at Shlloh, Me., has raised from tho dead Miss Olive A. Mills, who has been for some tlmo a dweller of the temple. People In his section who have been watching the progress of affairs on the Durham sand hill are at a loss to understand how this latest manifesta tion at Shlloh shall be charact.erl7.ed. The ocattu.'cd population about Is composed of hard-headed Yankee farmers. The events of tho last four or five years on the 1.111 are almost loo much for their credimllty and yet In the next breath after expressing doubts as to some things they will tell the listener that they have found Mr. Sandford and his disciples the best cltlzana the town has had. They pay their bills promptly; they feed tho hungry. All are welcome nt the tem ple. The persons who dwell thorn devote themselves to a life based up on all the precepts of the Diblo to tho letter. In seven years Sandford has built the great templo without passing tho contribution box, has erected a chil dren's building near by a structuro of stone and has completed and quite fully equipped a $2,r 000 brick building that la called "liethes da," and which In used as a hospital for the healing of persons by tho pow er of God. In this building of Bether.ila was wrought the alleged miracle that has attracted such wide attention. Winn a bare outline of the story had I), i n publis hed In the local papers, and had made tho rounds of the press, tho mull lor Shlloh (the temple baa a postofilca of Its own) Increased to hundred:! of letters dully. People all over the Unit ed States have been asking for addi tional facts and aeeki v: sorroho ration. Miss Mills has made tho following Written statement: "I had been 111 for several days ut Shlloh, but I was not very much wor ried at first. Then I c;rew woi-ho. The elders nt Shlloh prayed for ino, but. 11 r.plte of their appeals. I know 1 paused out of this life. 1 knew when my j;'.v dropped. It was death. Then foi- a time I was In darkness. It Roemcd Vi mo na though I was groping nbfrit somewhere and somehow, tryln;: tn find exit from some place in wh'ci 1 was imprisoned. Then It soem'td that. I rose rradunliy out of nnd ni-ovo my body. Tha '1' In mc roso. I don't havo any Idea what this second B if looked like. I never thought of tint part . I simply understood that I rose above what I realised was the body In which I bad dwelt. I could look down upon it. . I eoeld see the people gath cied around it as it lay on tho bed. "Then Mr. Sandford come in and looked at me nnd knelt. Oh! I was so afraid that ho would pray loudly. Voices were something awful to mo. I felt I knew Just what all werg thinking about. I didn't need words. Ho prayed In a whisper. That brought quiet. Then it seemed to me that I was content to drift away. Soma force Impelled me away from the room and those friends. It seemed that I went through a valley of darkness, or, passing through a dark tunnel. I felt rather than saw that there was lif;ht a great radiance at the other end. Slowly I drew forward into that light. And as the light gleamed brighter and brighter my joy grew more and mora profound. I knew that I was approach ing the Kingdom of God Almighty. I was afraid Just a moment there In the dark; then I got out of tho fear Into the great, wonderful peace of God that I shall never forget. I know t went almost to heaven. I know I know that, for the joy touched my spirit. As you approach a vineyard you scent the fragrance of the grapes before you get where they are. Well, I was near enough to heaven for the fragrance of it to touch my spirit. It was beautiful! "Then, from away back somewhere, came thinly and faintly the words, 'In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, Olive Mills, come back.' "And again I was over the body from which I had departed. The people were gathered about. It seemed to mo that this poor, Biinken casket of flesh was some old, soiled, discarded gar ment. I rebelled at putting It on again. But I knew that there was good reason for this command that had been laid upon me. After what I had experienced I was in no mood to withstand tho commands of God. So I went back into my body. In the section round about Shlloh there are all sorts of expressions. Tha cloiTymen of Lewlston and Auburn preached sermons on the matter, for It has excited much religious Interest In these two cities. These clergymen have been interviewed. All of them Btate their conviction that Mr. Sand ford Is sincere, but misguided. When the expression of these, opinions was laid liefore Mr. Sandford he said: "These men, though honest in their intent, do not believe that God cap do this. They practically say so. Therefore. It wil never fall within their experience to witness such manl testation of the power of the Holy Ghost. For If God should answe: doubt with success He would be put ting a premium on unbelief, and prac tically dethroning faith. They who did not see this thing stand counter to many other worthy Christiana who did seo it. I never enter into contro versies with the churchmen. I have no patience with huir Bplitters. I don't preach. I practice. Arid, therefore. the Holy Ghost does by me us He i agrees In His Hook to do by evory niun who will follow out His com mands, not in their own roundabout wuy, but in His direct path. Let us be cuuUotis how we strive to muliu God out r ipir." The Tralr Uappy.

Why the Red Banana Has Disap peared Phases of the Trade. Red bananas are so scarce nowa days as to bo practlcnlly a rarity; the prevailing banana ls yellow. Twen ty years nnd more ago the red was tho prevailing banana and tho yellow the raro one. Tho change from red to yellow was duo to commercial rea sons; tho yellow banana is more prof itable. The yellow banana requires less care and time In cultivation, and so costs less In that stage. It sticks to the stem better than the riM banana, and so stands handling better. There lire one-third more yellow bnnanas to the bunch than red. With all these marked advantages In its favor the yellow banana has practically driven the red banana out. With this great scarcity red ban anna now bring fancy prices; It may be ten times as much as yellow ba nanas. With yellow bananas at $1 or $l.fiO a bunch red would be worth from $6 to $11, and there would be fewer in a bunch. Red bananas sell nowadays In tho fruit stores as high as twenty cents apiece. The compara tively few bunches Imported nro takert by dealers in fine nnd fancy fruits as novelties, the rarity In largo meas ure determining the price. It inlisht be asked why, with red bananas at such a price, num are not. cultivated; to which the answer Is that If more were raised the price would go down again, Hiid there would be no profit In raising them for the general de mand. In competition with tho more economically produced, more prollflo nnd better shipping yellow bnnanas. The red banana uppearn to bo now in Its scarcity like some other kinds of comparatively rare trulls, or, Bay like game. Some people prefer the llavor of the red banana, sonic prefer that of the yellow; It Is probable that the great majority would have no choice; and the far lower price nt which tho yellow banana can be offered to tho individual consumer settles the ques tion. Uananas were never before so cheap as they have been In very re cent years. Formerly a luxury that was rather costly than otherwise, t It o banana Is now a cheap luxury; very good bananas can now he bought com monly in the streets lu the season at a cent apiece, or ten cents a dozen, such as formerly cost two or tinea tiint'8 as much, l-'oi im ily bananrs were 1 rought to this country In sail ing vctsels, In slick fast sfiioonon, which, with any sort of favoring con ditions, made quick trips; with ad verse weather, if long continued, tho cargoes rotted. Now banana;; are brought by steam, lu fast steamers built especially for the fruit trade. These steamers may, of course, be held up by storms, but they are not likely to bo; commonly they land car goes In a specllled timo, and tn the best and most suitable condition for handling and marketing to tho best advantage and with the least possi ble waste, and with advantage as to evenness of supply. The great built of the banana trade In this country is now controlled by a company which banana importers have organized. The bananas eaten In tills country come from Costa Uiea, llrltlsh and Spanish Honduras, Columbia, Jamaica and Cuba; that is, from countries around tho southern part of the Gulf of Mexico and uround the Caribbcia Sea. Tho bulk of tho fruit from iNrt Gulf countries goes to New Oilaci.s for distribution, that from tho other countries goes to Atlantic ports. For many yenni bananas have had a more or less wide distribution from tiio ports of receipts; but tiiy woro never before so widely distributed, nor s i! ', so cheaply at interior points, as now. llananas are now sold, not as rarltlos. but more or less commonly, in all parts of the country; practically everywhere; the eastern part of the country being Biippllod from Atlantic ports, and the Mississippi valley and the western half from New Orleins Costa Rica bananas are now shipped from New Orleans over pretty much all the western country to tho Pacific coast.

A NEW POWER FOUND If What He Claims lo True, Vc GH.ill Soon Need No 8tc.im, Eloutrio l!y, Wood, Coal Nor Oil The Sjn'j Heat. A Washington Inventor claims to have solved a problem upon w'.itc'.i (-.dentists have expended years of thought and toil. As is well known to every school boy, the source of nil power ls the beat and light of the sua. To collect thiB heat and make it servo mankind at night and by day; to ; pi ,j (Dr. William Culver.) make It do man's drudgery at practi cally no cost; to make It hew his wood and draw his water, run his railroad-;, furnish light and heat 'o cities, propel vessels across tho ocean in short, to Kiibstltuto it everywhere Tor tlu present use of coal and wood and oi'.i er finds has been the dream of Vn Cons. Herschel and of Ericsson. Pro lessor I.angley, of the Smithsonian Institution, has written powerful words calling attention to the neces sity for such an Invention. lie has declared that the human race must depend In the future- upon the sun for heat and power. It Is a method for tho utilization of this heat of the s, n in u practical way that Dr. William Calver claims to have discovered. In substantiation of his claim, lie attains results which would seemingly con vince tho most skeptical. Dr. Calver seems thoroughly wrapped up In thn work that he lies accomplished and the work that ho has in view. "I believo, In fact, I know," said he, In answer to a question, "that I hava solved the problem of the direct con version of the sun's rays Into heat, which can bo used on u far cheaper commercial basis than coal. I have hlso devised a method for the Btorago of this heat, so that It can be used at any desired time and place. I feel that beyond a doubt I have settled for ever the question of tho actual com mercial harnessing of tho direct rays of tho sun nnd of their adaptation to tho needs of man. "There is no limit to tho Intensity of the heat which I enn generate. With the concentrated rays of tho sun collected against the mountain Bide I could melt the rocks and causa the earth to burn llko a living volcano. I can produce In one spot a heat vast er and more fierce than that on tho face of the sun Itself, and a greater heat than any now attainable through the combustion of known substances or through tho agency of tho eloctrlo arc, which now furnishes tho fiercest heat known to man.. "Tho cost of this heat for commer cial purposes Is not a tithe of the cost of digging and raising coal and cutting down timbor. With heat thus generated I shnll bo able to smelt easi ly the hurdest and most rebellious of the ores. With It I shall make a qual ity of glass which cannot exist at pres ent. With it an innocuous gas can bo made at a far less cost than that of our present coal gas. "This motor consists of the simplest arrangement possible. Each of the Buiull Hut mirrors ls itttuched to a gearing device by which It can be moved at pleasure. Each or all of these little surfaces can bo concen trated on a very small surface at any desired distance. In pructico they are concentrated on tho reservoir in the centre of the yard. Each glass re flects from twelvo to fifteen degrees of bent from the sun." "How ubout tho point of concentra tion when tho sun moves around?" was asked. "That ls simple enough," s;ild Dr. Calver. "The frame moves, too. It Is geared and adjusted In such a sim ple manner that It can be moved along the circular track by even tho nio.it ignorant of attendants. One man could Ueop a great number of these ma chines focused on. a single point. All that ls required is tho occasional ad justment of some pulleys. "But how about tho cloudy and rainy days?" was asked. "Erom the 1,000 mirrors In the lab oratory bore I have generated on the coldest days sufficient heat to wold copper and Russian Iron. I have burned a brick half-way through In less thau an hour. I have concentrat ed the combined .boat from tho mir rors on an unburned brick, and have burned It so hard that It scratched Bteel." Dr. Calver picked up a stick from the frozen soil. He mounted the res ervoir und focubsed the heat of the mlriois upon a portion of the frozen wood. In a moment It cracked, Binul'.ed und burst Into a fiorco flame.
