Long-Sought Process.
Berlin. By a wonderful new process
of photographic calico printing In col

The new process has Just been per

Hitherto artists have had to carve
out designs on a series of wooden or

times they put them on copper by

By the new process the artist paints
his pattern on a piece of paper, which
Is then copied with a camera on a

ELECTRIC CHICKS IS LATEST
Brood Is Hatched by Placing Bulbs in
Ordinary Incubator As Lively
as Any Others.
Towanda, Pa. Not satisfied with
being first In butter production In the
north tier, Towanda has the first
brood of chickens ever hatched by
electricity In the state, nnd perhaps
In the country. It all came about
through the Ingenuity of Clarence
Brnund, a poultry expert, who Is em
ployed by a local illuminating com
pany. He conceived the idea of substitut
ing the electric bulb for the uncertain
Kerosene lamp, wnicn causes so many
disasters because of the risk of Its
starting a fire, overheating or going
out.
Taking a common Incubator, he sim
ply wired it and used electric bulbs
Instead for heat i e, and the result was
very satisfactory. All of the eggs but
one hatched out. The temperature
was kept even night and day without
any attention on his part, and the
cnicKs are as lively as ai?y ever
hatched.
So pleased Is the Illuminating com
pany with the experiment that It hns
the chicks In the display window of
Its office. It Is likely that the old
method of using lamps for heat will
be relegated and that chickens of the
future will be hatched by the steady
current from the main plant.

Jesus, the Kingly
Friend
By REV. F. E. HOPKINS, D. D.
f sitsr tt First ConfrofaUonal Ckurch, Oirr, lot.
TEXT Behold thy king Cometh. John
12, 16.
Consider the friendship of Jesus as'
one of the kingly characteristic of
bis royal nature. The imperfection of
our love is In Its disquietude. With a
tew rare exceptions we are never
quite satisfied that we have not
liven our love too easily, too quick
iy or too freely. But It was not so
with Jet us.
Having loved, he loved unto the end.
And we believe that means not only
ato the end of life and throughout
sterility, but also unto the full ca
pacity of bis Infinite heart to love.
Some one has snid, "Jesus was a sower
:d not a reaper;" that "He had very
lew followers as compared with other
jreut leaders or teachers."
Tho soundness of that statement Is
ot at nil clear. It seems to us that
lesus mude friends quickly and that
o had far more of them than most
men who live only thirty-three years,
Mid whose work was revolutionary.
It Is certain no man's friends ever
clung or cling more closely than the
friends of Jesus. What man of thirty
tin ce can nanio twelv friends to
whom ho has given a whole heart's
Jevotlon and received th same In re-
urn? This Jesus did and bad. Even
poor, misguided Judas was his friend.
And down lo the moment when he
left the upper room the master looked
ktohs the table, and In loving wani
ng said: "The band of him that be
trayed Me Is with Me on the table."
And after his great sin such remorse
ame In Judas' heart on account, of
he way he had abused the friendship
)f the Lord that he went out and hung
llmself.
Now men do not kill themselves for
ibuslng those they hate. And, ot
ourse, all that the New Testament
ells us about the kingly friend Is a
aiere outline. Only a few named are
given. What Is the name of the friend
who had the colt ready and waiting
for Jesus at Bethpage when Jesus
wanted to ride? Nobody knows. Who
was the friend, "bearing the pitcher
)f water" through the streets of Jem
mlein, who opened his house for the
ast supper? Nobody knows. But
hey were among the friends of Jesus.
In the New Testament we see the
beginning of the great prluclple and
that Is about all. And the essfotuu
principle of Christianity Is friendship,
Dased on perfect love. Let us not for
get the eleventh commandment. That
Is Christianity. We know that the
Jewish religion made but a slight Im
pression even upon those who pro-
essed It. The Greeks undertook to
meet the longing of the human heart
iy culture, aud marvelous were the
ichlevements of that gifted empire;
U the same, "the world by wisdom
Knew not God."
Then Rome Incarnated a dream of
power and coiouLzeu as tar as me
Ganges. But with power came self
ishness and It crushud liberty to
death. But Jesus came and said, "Ye
are my friends." Ho said It to Greek
ind Roman. To Judah and to Israel.
To Samaritan and PublU;an, Scribe
and PharlBee, and "To as man as
Delleved on, Him to them gave He
power to become the sons of God."
And what did that mean? It meant
;f even nn usorious tax collector like
Zaccheus truly repents and restores
bis Ill-gotten gains where they belong
be shall be treated as a friend of the
lx)rd. If a woman has been a sinner
and she Is sorry and she will promise
to sin no more, she Is to be forgiven.
3he Is not to be stoned. Her sisters
shall not say "Poor thing. We are
awfully sorry for her, you know,"
while all the time In their hearts they
are not feeling kind at all. They are
to help her go In peace. And men are
to be kind and help her. That Is the
Idea. She Is not to be tortured by
regrets, and nlartfi.1 by fears, and
toin by conscience, 'nit tho evil spirits
aro to driven out tn ber, nnd Into the
ioor of her how, la to enter the nngel
'f peace.
When Samaritans r-e full of preju
3ice, and bigotry, and hatred, "Shall
we not call down fire from heaven
and destroy them?" ask the apostles
But Jesus answered "No! No! The
son of mnn rnme not to kill but to
ave. To make alive."
"The good Bhepherd Inyeth down
his life for the sheep. "Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man
lay down bis life for his friends. But
God commendeth His love to us in
that while we were yet sinners, ene
mies, His son died for us."
Oh, what is love? Who can fathom
It? Who can define it? There Is only
one who can do it, and that one is
Jesus. For Jesus is tho love of God
epelt friend. And today wherever we
see the rich helping the poor, and the
wise Instructing the Ignorant, nnd the
strong bearing tho burdens of the
weak, and tho saved seeking the lost
wherever doors of opportunity are be
ing opened by helping hands with
amlles of encouragement, wherever
hope carries lis lantern to guide our
Bteps along the unfamiliar and slip
pery paths of life, wherever we can
get on tho track of men nnd women
that have crossed the road to lift up
a wounded traveler and take care ot
him until he can take care of himself,
there, and everywhere, behind these
ministries, and rising above all as the
Inspirer of all, we catch sight of the
world's only king, the ruler of the
human heart. The world's everlasting
and omnipotent friend, and he
