By Rev. Prank De Witt Talmsge, D. D. L---—)), i New York, April 19.—In this sermon, [appropriate to spring, the preacher speaks encouragement to those who are now dropping into the soii the seed that wiM yet, bear fruit in good deeds,! gospei teaching and nobie sacrifice for others. The text is John !v, 35: "Say not ye there are yet four months and then cometh harvest? Behoid, 1 say nnto you, Mft up your eyes and iook upon the Reids, for they are white al ready to harvest." If these words were true when Jesus 'Uttered them to his disciples nearly 12,000 years ago, how much more true jare they when spoken to the men and women of the present generation! i'inese nineteen centuries or gospel preaching and gospel sacrifices have not gone for naught. The preaching and the life labors of the twelve apos tles, followed by those of Polycarp and Athanasius and Augustine and Luther and Calvin and Wycllffe and tWesley and Whltedeld and Savonarola and John Knox and David Livingstone, were not all useless. Have no harvests come from the myriads of gospel sow ers who have been scattering their seeds everywhere In every generation! Hava we no harvests from the self sacrifice of our modem missionaries as well as from the patient labors of the hundreds and thousands of Christian *nintstenr^^dre<l a!T over the whole world! What would we think of a man who, having endless life and un limited wealth, devoted years of labor and millions of dollars to a work that after 2,000 years showed no signs of completion? We should say that man was In a fools' business. Well, my brother, do you suppose God Is en gaged In any such business as that? Do you suppose all these labors for nineteen centuries have gone for inaught? Nay, nay! In every genera tlon the tollers have been cheered and encouraged by seeing the results of their labors. The word has never re turned void. Wherever and whenever !t has been sown men have listened and have turned from the husks of the world to seek eternal life. Sowing and reaping have gone on simultaneously. The work Is still ready for the worker, and we In onr day have the additional stimulus of seeing what onr predeces aors have accomplished by the very means we have at command. Let us consider this morning what those means are that have been effective In the past and wll! prove effective In the fnture. The Meaning ot tne eecrince. First there are the facta of the gos pet. Chrtst himseif was bom in a man ger. He suffered and died and rose hgain and ascended from Meant OHvet for oar atonement, oar redemption and oar coronation. By his shed biood he has paid aii the price for oar emanci pation from sin. By his ahed biood he has made it possibie for as to be pure as he is pare, perfect as he is perfect, and to sit apon a throne at the right hand of God. His redeemed saints are at this hoar singing hia praises in never ending hosannas amid the eter nai Joys of heaveniy reunion, where there is no sickness, no pain, no part ings, no sin, no death. Thongh we ehoaid have the stiver tongue of the most eloquent preacher that ever iived and aii the mentai grasp of a Paai himseif, yet today we woaid give the chief praise for this giorious expecta tion to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is the biood—the divine biood—of oar Saviour shed for the re mission of sins that has made aii this harvest of the goepe) Reids possibie. And this troth is the more emphatic because it is just here at the atoning cross that the orthodox gospel minister and aii other teachers separate. The craciai question is not, as some sup ,pose, as to the garden of Eden or the booh of Job or the experience of Jonah. The one great issue which every Chris tian has to decide is not whether Moses wrote the Pentateuch. It is not who yss the author of the Psalms or of the jbooh of Ecciesiastes. It is not whether the Bibie itseif is verbatiy inspired. It lis not a< to the meaning of the Mes sianic prophecies. It is not whether Qod created the worid in six days or in 6,000 years. The great question at tisane is stii! that which was pat to the apostiea, "What think ye of Christ?" Do yoa beiieve that he died to save men from their sins!. Do you beiieve that ha is .this to give atsrnsi life to tnose wno put tneir tin at m mmt Are yon witting to make him the guide of your life, yonr king who shali controi your thoughts and actions? That is the main point at issue, and that aione, for if you can believe and do believe that and put your trust in him you have the essentiais of Christian faith, and the other questions are of minor importance. The Essentiais of Faith. Do you beiieve that Jeaus was in very truth the oniy begotten Son of Cod and that he came into this worid tp save us by his iife and ahamefui death from our sins? This is the vitai piece where ai! true Christians and false believers separate. 1 am not to day asking you one of the interesting but unessential questions I might ask. I am trying to and out where yon are in the great foundation truths. The center right, the circumference of your spirituai faith, wiii be right. What is your answer in reference to the Mood— ^he divine Mood—shed for the remission of sins? Oan yon not perceive that it is this doctrine of the cross that has been the basis of the triumphs of Chris tianity? The harvest of aouia that has come in every generation as a reward to the faithful preacher has been won by that doctrine and no other, and we therefore go forth to preach the same doctrine, assured that we -shaft have the same success. But there is another cause which has been the means of mating the spiritual harvests white for the reapers, and that is separation of the church from the state. There has been ever since Jesus came to the earth an incurable tendency to buiid up an earthty king dom on his divine name rather than a spiritual one. They attempted it even in his life, trying to taka him by force and make him a king. Time and again in succeeding ages the attempt to unite the power of the state with that of the church was renewed. Constantine and other potentates sought to make the church a civii power. But Chrsfa words proved true, "My kingdom is not of this world." Whenever the church has accepted alliance with the state it has become feeble and corrupt and has failed of its spiritual purpose. Her strength now, as in former ages, comes, as God declared, "not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord." The Crusaders. Take, for instance, the movement of the crusades. Do you believe that the men who fo!!owed Godfrey of Bouillon or Frederick Barbarossa or Richard the Lion Hearted or Count Baldwin of Flandera cared a picayune about Christ? Do you believe they were sin cere, earnest, noble, self sacrificing Christians, or do you believe that for the most the crusaders of old were freebooters and renegades and children of the fortunes of war who cared not whom they were Sighting as long as they could live by conquest and fatten upon the spoils of their swords? When the pope sent forth his emissaries to peddle around his "Indulgences," do you think that he cared anything about the sins of the people? Was It not rather that he adopted this means to levy a tax upon the whole world to support the outrageous extravagances of his ecclesiastical hierarchy? Do you believe Henry VIII. was concerned about the purity of the church when he separated from the pope and estab lished the Church of England? He, like the potentates that had gone be fore him, sought from the church the help and strength It might afford. It was a seldsh design, out of which God has brought good to the world. Wher ever you see the church In olden times grow powerful In a temporal sense, then It became tyrannical and oppress ive, and If any man refused to join It he was looked upon as an enemy to his country. In olden times the question of a man's membership in the church did not turn upon whether he loved Christ and had his spirit, but whether he believed In the technicalities of a sectarian creed which had been the product of human ingenuity and had little to do with the great purpose of Christ's gospel. But there is another fact which has split up the hard, rocky soil of the earth for the gospel harvests—that Is, Some of the ablest men of this century have come out unequivocally in their testimony to the truth of the Bible and the Immortality of the soul. The more fully science has gone on In Its in vestigations the more the Bible Is ac cepted in Its simplicity, the more the greatest men of light and learning are! ready to accept It. This fact Is not a matter of doubt; It Is susceptible of proof. About a year ago the editor of a popular magazine published the an swers to a series of questions which he had sent out to a thousand members of the medical profession. One of the questions he asked was, "Do you be lieve In Immortality?" There were WO answers to that Inquiry, and of these every physician but twelve answered In the aHlrmatlve. Think of that! Borne of us have supposed that the medical profession was made up of materialists. Five hundred and eighty eight physicians out of 600 confessed that they believed In the Immortality of the soul. And without any doubt the larger proportion of those men also believed In the divinity of Jesus Christ. yvhat Is true of the medical profes sion Is true of the law. And what Is true of the law is also true to a large extent In reference to students of phys leal science. Said a prominent college president to me some time ago, "My ambition Is to give my college the bast cohrse of science it Is possible for It to have, for 1 believe the more we un derstand the sciences the more we will believe In the Holy Bible." The mlghtP eat re-enforcement today we have for Bible truth Is the archaeologist's ham mer and the geologist's crowbar—New ton and Faraday and Agasetz and Jo mekh "u-- air William Dawson. turn rrvressw nstym, cue tuaoers at scienMBc thought, all Brm believers in God and Ms book. 8e)enoe on Sldo of Reitgion. I want to read the powerful test! mony Sir Wiiiiam Dawson, one of the greatest geologists of our time, gate some time ago before a body of stu dents: "I have read recently—and, I confess, with feelings of contempt discussions respecting the supposed imitations of the knowledge of Jesus. Did he know the data of modem criti cism t Was he acquainted with the dis coveries of modem science T The By aiighttng on my hand might as weii attempt to understand the thoughts passing through my brain as criticism to gauge in this way the mind of Je ans. To me as a student of dfty years of nature, of man and of the Bible such discussions seem most frivolous since our Lord's knowledge as we hStve it in his discourses is altogether above and beyond our science and pMioso phy, transcending them as much as the vision of an astronomer armed with one of the great telescopes of our time transcends the unaMed vision. Christ viewed things from a standpoint of his own and through a different medium from that of the atmosphere of this worid. His difficulty appears to be to convey heaveniy thoughts to us through the imperfect language in which we speak heaveniy thoughts." Oh, my brother, is it not a tremendous fact that some of the greatest tenders of modem scientific thought are the firmest believers in the doctrine of the divine incarnation of Jesus Christ? If men tike Sir Wiiiiam Dawson speak words iike these, is it too much to say that we, the rank and die of the hu man race, are as a great whtte harvest Qetd ready for the goepei sickte? And this white harvest is not confin ed simply to our own iand os to what we oaii civ tilted countries. The forest iands and the most remote people are rapidiy being brought into touch with our nation. We are not independent of other countries; neither are other countries independent of ns. What we think they must think, or, rather, what they think we must think, for more and more the people of this worid are going to become one in reiigion and one in sentiment. Work in Foreign Lande. Today I thank God for ail the great missionary movements which have tak en place in foreign tends. I thank God that today, as ws are sending forth onr ships laden down with goods, so we are sending forth ships with Christian missionaries treading the decks. I thank God for the nobie seed pianters of the gospei who have been for years and years laboring in these foreign iands. Does it not aend a thriii of joy through yon to read the wonderfui missionary statistics! Are yon not more and more ready to pour yew money into the great foreign mission ary societies which are captaring for, God China and Japan and Korea am Africa and South America! Look about you. Take a woridwide sweep. Can you not see that everywhere the gospei Qelds are white with ripening harvest! But i fee! that a sermonlc theme iike this sometimes ioses its force because we take too great a perspective- When we stand upon the mount of inspira tion and look off upon distant conti nents we are apt to forget the divine mercies and the gospei opportunities which are at our very door. And thus as Jesus Christ ieads ns up in sermon !c theme and bids us took at the white gospei harvests which are stretching away over the Bve continents and over the islands of the sea I think i hear my Lord say: "Tea, child, the harvest is white everywhere—over in India and Siam, over in Samoa and Tahiti, over in Kongo and in the swaying forests of Brazil—but these harvests do not con cern you so much as those by your side. Even the men and the women and the children by your side whom you think do not love me and will nev er care for me can be saved if you will reach forth yonr hand to them." There are capacities in every breast just ready to receive the yospel if you will preach it to them. And, my brother, the more you look for the Christ love in the hearts of men and women at your side the more you will be aston ished to and it planted there even in the most unexpected pieces. Near to tho Kingdom. Some time ago I was camping away back in the monntaina. White there I waa thrown in touch with a rough iooking man who waa brusque of speech and crude in action. He had for years been a cattleman, i never knew a man so profane and biasphe mous of speech. His words made me shndder. Pinaiiy he found out that i was a ciergyman. Then he came to me and apologized. Then he began to open his heart to me. He said: "I had oue of the best mothers that ever iived. She was a sincere Christian. She iived for us children. And I know for her sake as wei) as my own i ought to be come a Christian too." And as he taik ed the tears just weiied up out of his eyes and trickled down his cheeks. "Oh," I said as I watched him, "who wouid have thought that such a man as you would be so near the kingdom of God!" And, believe me, there is hardiy a man, woman or chiid near us without such memories. Away back in the old homestead the goapei plowing and seed pianting have gone on. Those men and women near to you may be tired of ain. Believe me, you can bring them to Christ if you wi!) oniy stretch forth the hand to iead them. The pre paratory work for Christ has aii been done. "Say ye not there are yet four months and then cometh harvest! Be hold. I say unto yon, iift up your eyes and iook upon the Reids, for they are white already to the harvest" And this thought suggests a goapei (act which is even more persona! than any I hava yet mentioned. As those who are nearest to us are like white mu-rests Teaay ror ate gospe! reaper!!, to we onrselves are atso ready to M garnered for the divine granaries. Oh, yes; as with our neighbors, so there have been many gospe! seed plantings within ns. We have tried to smother them and pnii them ont, but in spite of ourseives they have been idiiy growing. And the spiritual which we had years ago seem to be tugging at onr hearts with in creased vigor every year. Are you not ready now to gather the whitened har vest of your own heart and bring it into the gospel granary? Ali the pre paratory work has been done in your life. Wili you just give yourself up to him now? [Copyright, iMS, by Louis Kiopsch.] Longevity in Turkey.

Looutt Basnt Are Used as Food by the A re be end the Moore. Are the "husks" of the parabie of the prodiga) son stlt! eitant in the conn tries bordering on the Mediterranean? Consui General Itavndai, writing from Beirut, says that they are and that they are now caiied "carobs" or "io eust beans." He continues: "Arabs and Moors eat them. In the south of Europe they are employed as food for horses, cattie and swine. In Cyprus, neat to bariey, they constitute the principai articie for export. The totai yleid of the isiand of carobs or iocust beans (not to be confounded with St. John's) in 1909 amounted to 69,000 tons. In August the carob tree is seen bear ing both dowers and ripe fruit. The iatter is a pod, brown and ieathery, four to eight inches iong, a iittie carved and containing a Oeshy and at iast meaiy puip of an agreeably sweet taste, in which tie a number of shin ing brown seeds. These are bitter and of no use. "On account or the abundant sugar contained in earobs the iatter form a nutritious and fattening food for horses and cattie. Bngiand, for the feeding of cattie, imports iarge quan tities of earobs from Spain, Italy, Crete, Samos and Cyprus. I am in formed that a considerable quantity of this cattie food is exported from Great Britain to the United States. Carobs are aiso used in considerable quantities, especiaiiy in France, for distiiiation, and the spirits obtained are deemed choice. Carobs are also employed Cor the production of a semi iiquid ^nnce resembiing moiasses, A in the manufacture of n ^eets. ,r^)b tree, which is quite dis from the locust tree of America, seems to prefer the miid climate of the southern seacoasts aud islands of the Mediterranean. The produce is ex ceedingly abundant, some trees yield ing as much as 900 pounds of pods. The wood is hard and much vaiued, and the bark and leaves are used for tanning. One variety of the carob is cailed in Cyprus apostoiike. This, however, is not so named after the apostie. It means that the tree ia 'sent by God'—t. e., self sown."—Chicago News.

It ha a simple matter to print photo graphs upon the ordinary red apple, the tomato and smooth skinned pump kin If one goes about It In the right Way. In addition to the process being most simple, there Is no expense In curred, not even for so cheap a chem ical as hypo, as no chemical or water Is required, while the resultant prints can only be said to be as permanent as the support on which the Image Is formed. The skin of an apple, tomato or pumpkin, particularly at a certain Stage of Its ripening, bears a strong resemblance to our photographic plates and printing paper for the reason that It Is sensitive to light. It Is this sensi tiveness to light that causes the side exposed to the sun to bum red or yellow, and, as one can often notice, where a leaf Intervenes to cut oft the light close to the pumpkin, apple or tomato It wlll print an outline of It self, a silhouette, as It were. In green upon the red or yellow ground. It was through noticing this that I conceived the Idea of printing from a negative upon the same surface. My first at tempt was with apples. I Brst hunted out an apple having a leaf close to Its surface, placed a piece of glass be neath the leaf and on It cut my Initials With a sharp knife. I then removed the glass and pasted the leaf Brmly to the apple so It would not be blown away by the wind and left It for a week. At the end or that time 1 took the appie, soaked off the teat and found my initiate in bright red on a tight green ground having the outline of the teaf. My success prompted me to try an actual photograph or one printed from a photograph negative. To this end I selected some apples of the red variety that were yet green and en cased them in bags made of the biack paper in which plates and paper are usually packed. These bags were left on for ten days to exciude the light and add to the sensitiveness of the surface. At the end of this time the bags were removed and dim negatives were pasted in position by using the White of an egg. This white of an eggj found later to be the only adhesive that would not show In the print, th order that all except the image when printed might be green the apples were again Inclosed In the protecting bags, this time an opening a tittle larger than the portrait being cut opposite the dim. This acted much as would a vignetting device over a printing frame and greatly enhanced the resuits. Oth er appies were given negatives made by scratching monograms, lnitiais and sketches In spoiled dims with an etch ing knife and attached in the same manner and provided with the same protection for the remainder of the sur face. The richness of color and wealth Of detail that can be secured In this way are ready astonishing, i am tempt ed to say that the reenits are superior to any that couid be obtained on pho tcgraphic papers. A week wee aiiowed for printing. The dne deep red of the picture upon the deilcate green of the ground must be seen to be fuiiy appre ciated.

They will go their own way, whether we like It or not, gMtd perforce we must put up with thefr whimsies and make the best of It. If your cousin Betty Is capricious, give her to under stand that you would rather have her that way than uot. Then Bhe will no longer have awy desire to keep yonr head whirling." This was one day after Lady Hetty had trifled with my iove and dignity, and i had gone to Sir Hugh Rivtngton, the dearest of reiatives and the best of patrons, to deciare that i shouid at once saii away for Spain and offer my sword as a soidier of fortune. I would depart within a week, and as for Lady Betty, she might marry whom she piensed or die a spinster. "i think myseif that the BUy has romped iong enough." continued Sir Hugh as he iaid a kindiy hand on my shouider, "and that the haiter shouid now be siipped over her head. But how to do it, Jeffry—how to do it? Indeed, iet us ptnn." And piau we did. Four days after our pianning the Lady Betty set out for the country seat of the Marchioness of Littleton, nine leagues distant, there to tarry for the space of two weeks. Naturaiiy her maid accompanied her, and besides the coachman and footman there were two armed and mounted servants to pre vent the knights of the road from com ing too ciose. Sir Hugh and myseif were to fotiow on horseback two days inter, or so it was understood. Scarce had we waved the coach out of sight when the good man pinched my ear in piayfui way and said: "The pian worketh thus far without hitch or suspicion. The adventures of the night wiit give thee a bride within a month. Jeffry, the capricious Biiy is haltered. At 3 o'clock that afternoon, when the coach had reached Featherstone, hardly more than half the journey, the capricious Lady Betty decided to rw main there for the ni^ht. At sun down she decided to push on to the White Hart inn, two leagues farther, saying it would he romantic to ride beneath the stars of the summer night. Her great coach had roiied out of the courtyard. The iast league had been entered upon, and the night had become fairiy dark when an uproar suddeniy occurred. That uproar shouid have been caused by two pretended highwaymen hired for the occasion, and the guards shouid have Bred a shot or two at them and then Bed, as per orders,'but, aias, for our weii iaid plans against the maid! Our hired varlets lost their way and did not appear in time, and the two that did come forward were genu ine members of the profession. Our two merry thieves were to abduct the Lady Betty and her jewei box and hang on to them untit meeting me on foaming steed, and I was then to drive them away in short order with pistoi and rapier and rescue the damsei aii foriorn. In her gratitude and admiration, how could site say nay when I asked that the marriage day be named and that there shouid be no more trilling! Fate ordained that my horse shouid cast a shoe and that I shouid be an hour iate at the rescue, and even thee it was to iearn that the Lady Betty, suspecting my pians and determined to baik them, had actually remained behind at Featherstone and sent ociy her maid forward in the coach. Mr Hugh and I had pianned according to miiitary tactics, but a aimpie maid had brought our endeavors to naught. The weather had changed, and the rain was pouring down, and yet I most ride back to Featherstone and secure corroboration of the maid's story before I couid feei at ease. Sack I rode to be toid that when tile coach ieft the inn Lady Betty had taken to horse to compiete her journey by an other road. If she had accompiished this without adventure, then I weuid have been a butt of ridicule indeed. Fate was wait ing to play her a shabby trick, how ever. The highwaymen who had Btopped the coach on the east road had gallop ed away to the west by a crossroads, and as she reached this in her ride she feii into their hands. A hut in the woods, in which they were making a temporary home, was dose at hand, and thither they conducted the fright ened and lamenting maiden, to shut her up in the bach room while they sat down in the front one to eat, drink and make merry over their plunder. Mowing my way over the ekecrabie roads amid the downponr, my eye sud deniy caught the twihkie of.a tight !g the forest, and I dismounted and ap proached on font Through the open windows hoard the talk of men. Passing to the rear of the hut, I drew myseif up to a sashiesa opening and aoftiy caiiek to know if any one was tnere. Thank heaven, 'tts thee, Jetfry!" came the voice of the Lady Betty in prompt reaponse. "i am in the handa of highwaymen and aimoet dead with fright. Heat thou aword and piatoi with thee, dear boy?" "in truth I have, but aa you have oft Mserted that the former is bat a toy and the latter a danger foe a youth to experiment with, 1 know not how each arms can aid you In this emergency." "Nay, nay, Jeffry. 1 may have spoken slightingly, but it was only the way of a willful maid. However, if thou hast taken it too much at heart, or if thou doubtest thy courage or skill"— Then i was beside her and my arm around her. It was weil that I had not remained longer outside. Of a sad den the men in the front room rose up and dung open the door between as, one of them having a daring candle In his hand, and at the sight of them the girl moaned and covered her face with her hands. Ane rumens started ror a moment and then drew pistois from their betts. The three of ua putted triggers togeth er, but our powder was damp and there was no expioston. Then one sprang bach and possessed htmaeif of their swords, and nett moment I was fighting the pair of them. i tore to iook back on that hoar. The giance that my sweetheart gave me wouid have put heart into a coward. She stooped and iifted up the candie and backed into a comer and heid it during aii the tight I took the corner opposite, brave of heart, and then the hiadee began to-sing. The feHows were bold and tasty and no bungiers with the steel, bat within two minutes I knew that I was master despite the odds. Sometimes the white hand holding the candie was steady enough, and our three blades caught the Came and sent it back a hundred times over, and again it wavered about and sent shadows across our faces as we cut and thrust, parried and re treated. By and by i Hashed my rapter into the shouider of one and the hip of the other, and they were down and out. Then Lady Betty wavered her way through the open door and Mi into a chair at the taMe and dropped tier head on her arms and sobbed in a hysterica! way. I bade the cursing rob bers get up and iimp away to be hang ed eise where. and when f had seen to their going I stood beside the tearfui maid and said: "Dear one, doth it not strike thee that we have been overtong a-wooingf* "Dear me, but 1 have never given it a thought!" she reptied aa she raised her head and dried her tears aii in a moment. "Witt marry me a month hence, sweetheart!" 'Tis too rtdtcuioua." "Or wiit thou wait here untii I ride back for a coach and thy maid and wish thee a pieasant journey!" "Jeffry," she said after a atartied took around, "thou art a determined tnd persistent young man." "Within a month, dear one? Speak Quickiy, for the rain hath ceased and the moon is showing her face, 'f i tun to set out for Fenthersb "L shat! set out, too," she she iet me take her hand. "Wf free thou goeth I shaM foiiow and be* wh thee." And the capricious Lady Betty was won at iast A Rath Conetusion. "Then I am to understand that thh) !s your dnal answer, Miss Stubbles?" "My final answer." "Nothing can move you?" "Nothing." "Then my life will be a lonely one and my fate a harsh one, for my uncle with whom I lived has just died and left me"— "That fact somewhat alters the case. Henry. I cannot be harsh to one who has sustained such recent bereavement H 1 could believe that you are sin cere"— "Sincere! Oh. Miss Stubbles!" "You have certainly made an imprea slon on my heart Give me time to think of It." "How long?" "After all, why think of It? Henry, 1 am yours!" "Oh. Genevieve!" "Do not squeeze me so hard^Henry.

For a long time astronomers have been trying to measure accurately the distance from the earth to the sun. Once ascertained, this would serve as a unit of measure in eipioring the starry reaims. The stupefying pre^ cision with which these teamed men announce the goings and the comings of cetestiai bodies seems to indicate that an error of a few million miles more or tess in the measurement of distances makes iittie difference in the perfection of their calculations. In the method of direct measure ment the center of the sun is sighted from two points as far apart as possi ble. This gives the base and two an gies of a triangie, the apex of which is the center of the sun, and it is only a simpie calculation in trigonometry to obtain the third angle and the height. But this measuring process is very in-, exact, for in such a vast distance an infinitesimal error in measuring one of the angles would produce an enormous error in the result. Kepler showed that if we could meas ure the exact distance from the earth to one other planet it would give us data enough from which to calculate the distance from the sun to all other bodies of the solar system, and since his day this indirect method of meas urement has been empioyed, the dis tances from the earth to Mars and Venus, the nearest planets, being the principal objects of the attention of as tronomers. The results obtained until a few years ago left a possible error of about 1,000,000 miles. In 1898 Professor Witt of the Berlin observatory discovered the planet Eros, which at certain times is only a few million miles from us. Fifty-eight as tronomers at once took concerted meas urements, and the Abbe Moreux has just pubiished the first results of this gigantic work, which represents about 85,000 observations through the tele scope and 40,000 with a camera, all at the expense of the French government. The distance from the earth to the sun Is proved by the time of these ob servations to be 92,870,795 miles, with a possible error of about 50,000 miles, which error, comments the reverend astronomer, is insignificant, for is just In the proportion of one in 1,000. The abbe promises us that when all the observations on Eros shall have been tabulated the possibie error will be reduced to about 28,000 miles.—New York World. An interesting Prophecy. "In my papers a few days ago I ran across an extremeiy interesting proph ecy," said John Smith of 1317 West Twelfth street, "and which possesses gennine interest in view of the fact that, according to its terms, the end ef the worid is fast approach)^^. Tt^ prophecy was in the hands Miner eight years ago. He wa,s a cous in of David G. Phiiiips of Louisville, Ky., who gave the prophecy to the pnbiic. It reiates that in 1824 there lived in Lonisviiie a Presbyterian min ister named Baiden, who prophesied that In 1846 and 1847 there wonid be a three years' war in the United States and another war in 1861 to 1865; that in 1871 there wonid be war in Europe, in 1887 to 1893 the greatest destruction of property ever known and in 19)3 ot 1914 wouid come the dnai dissointion of ail things.

OIMtM UMES1 Attempt on President's Life Brings on Crisis. BOY CONSPtRATORS EXECUTED Cadets Who Try to Kill Cabrera Pay Penalty With Life—Honduran Min ister Takes Refuge tn American Le gation tn Guatemala City. Washington. Apri! 23—Advices front Pananta say th u the situation in Gua temaiaCityi-criticai. i'resIdentCa brera rarely ieaves his residence for fear of being assassinated. indeed since the nitonj.t ot] ids iife some months ago until the recent attetn]<t he had been seen in public oniy once. President Cabrera seems to he greatiy hated by powerful and indefatigable enemies who have sworn to kiii him at any sacrifice. The Honduran pienipotentiary in Guatemala has been reeoncentrated in Guatemaia City by order of President Cabrera and has taken refuge in the American iegation. The shooting in Guatemaia City dur ing which President Cabrera was wounded was done by cadets of the Potytechnic institute. The cadets had PRESIDENT MANUEL ESTRADA CABRERA. been seiected to act as guards of honor daring the retnrn of the new American minister and opened tire as the presi dent entered the palace. President Cabrera Wounded. Dispatches from Guatemala state that several members of the preslden tlal party were wounded, one or two fatally. The president himself received aeveral wounds, none of them serious. diers who attempted to surround them and made their escape, taking refuge in the Military academy. Later they were captured. Several of those who were implicated in the conspiracy against the president have been exe ented. President Rooseveit has wired tc President Cabrera congratuiations ou the letter's escape from death. The American minister's otticiai re port of the attempt to assassinate Pres ident Cabrera of Guatemaia differs somewhat from other accounts. Majot Wiiiiam Heimke had just been pro moted from secretary of the American legation in Coiombia to he minister ai Guatemaia and was on the point of presenting his credential to President Cabrera. His teiegraphed report reads. Our Minister's Account. "As the president of Guatemaia en tered the paiace to receive me in puB Me audience five cadets of the Miiitary academy, forming a part of his body guard, attempted to assassinate him. and in the meiee he received a bayonet thrust through his ieft hand, white an odicce of his staff is said to have been tided. "At the same hour when I was about to take a carriage to proceed to the pai ace for my reception the undersecre tary of state came with the message from the president, who advised me that in consequence of what had hap pened my reception wouid be post poned for a few days more. Just aftet the attack I sought and with great dtf Hcnity obtained an interview with the president at the paiace. where he has chosen to remain heaviiy guarded. "It is said that the tive cadets have been shot. The authorities immediate ly ordered the stores ciosed and the cessation of street traffic. The city is quiet.

"My iittie girt," Gibson caiied her to himseif, and of aii in the human tide that twice a day swept through the gates of that section of the concourse devoted to the suburban tragic the gateman [iked best the iittie biue eyed giri. She reminded him so strongiy of that other iittie biue eyed giri who in a happier day had greeted his com ings and goings and had caiied him "father." That was before the tunnei wreck three ^ears back, when they had car ried her and her mother home—two victims of the worst disaster the road had ever known. The ctaim agent had learned that Giison was without work and had set tied the damage ciaimed by providing him with a life position as gateman on the big statiou. Ever since then Thomas Giison had watched the tide of humanity ebb and How through the iron gates and had found soiitude in UntH the biue eyed girt had come, j not quite three months before, he had t watched indifferentiy the hurrying I throng. The busy ciicking of his punch kept time to the duii monotone i of the announcer's megaphonic voice. Then one night he gianced up into the face of a girl so iike his own dead daughter that his punch dropped from t his nerveiess hands, and he heid them forth yeamingiy if unconsciousiy. The ring of the metai on the con crete pavement roused him. His hands dropped to his side, and he took up his duit routine of inspecting tickets, but the grimy train shed, with its smoke stained wails and its wastes of cinder bed tracks, heid a new interest for him. The monthiy ticket which she pre sented was brand new and proclaimed her a recruit to the army of workers who daiiy took their piaces in the city's commercial heid, and he knew that each night he shouid see her come hurrying down the concourse toward the gate. Later, wtien sue teamea tnar me reg uiar commuters never displayed their tickets, she would perhaps give him the littie nod and smite of friendiy recognition that the more experienced aiways vouchsafed the guardian of the gate. Giison's memory for faces was remarkabie. He knew aii of the com muters by sight and had a nod for each. It was not iong before Gilson "got her trains." She came in on the 8:27, and every might she hurried to catch the 6:45. Sometimes she was latc and missed that train, having to wait for the 7:58 and thereby missing atso her dinner. She never went out for dinner when she missed the eariicr train, but sat in the great utarbie waiting room. Gii son, quick to deduce, knew that the money she earned was so soreiy need ed at home that she couid not spare the sum that wouid buy an extra meat in town. The oid gateman did not go on duty untii 9 o'ciock in the morning, but he was aiways there now at 8:27, stand ing by the exit gate when the subur ban trains came rotting in, and that was how he came to know that Met caif was becoming interested in her. Usuaiiy they came together down the piatform, and oniy a giance at the giri's face was needed to teii that she iiked Metcaif.

No matchmaking mother ever watched the sociai progress of her daugnter wttn greater soucuuue ruan did Gilson watch the growth of iove between Metcaif and Miss Traynor. He had known Metcaif (he had team ed the names on the commutation tick ets) ever since he had conjje to the sta tion. Metcaif seemed a nice, steady going young feiibw, for he seidom walt i ed over until the theater train, and each morning his eye was ciear and his hand steady. His appearance betoken ed his prosperity, and Giison rejoiced that his iittie giri was making so good I a match. i Then came the day when the iittie gtri came down the piatform by her seif, her head heid high and her cheeks darning. Metcaif iingered in the rear, and he, too, was hushed and angry. Giison's heart w as troubied, though he tried to teii himseif that aii wouid be made smooth that night. But it was not made smooth. Met caif did not appear untii just in time for the 7:03, and there*were traces of tears on the iittie giri's face as she passed through the gate to take the 0:46. Once during the week they both came in by the same train, but Metcaif was in the smoker and the iittie giri was in the iast car. She tried very hard to took as though she did not care, but Giison's sharp eyes couid see the change, and*he wor ried so that he iet a fussy oid iady take the neft accommodation in the be iief that it was the through express, which fact was duty reported to head quarters and resuited in Giison's being forced to economize for a week to cov er his One. Then came the night when the iittie giri, hurrying to catch her train, found the gdte shut just as she approached. "You are mean!" she cried, with a stamp of her tiny foot, "i couid have made it easy "Orders to ciose the gate on signal," reminded Gilson stoiidiy. "But the train had not started to move." she stormed, pointing to the tracks. "I'm sorry"—Gilson's voice was fuli of apparent concern—"orders are to ciose the gate on signai." "I've gone through tots of times," she reminded him. "They don't start untii the passengers are aii on. Often I've just made it. You used to be obliging. Now I shaii have to wait for the 7:38; more than an hour. I shaii report you to the ofHce." "Duty." murmured Giison, trying to look property regretful, for he saw Metcalf passing through the swinging doors of the waiting room. "I shall report you just the same." declared the littie girl as she turned away to come face to face with Met caif. "Lost your train?" cried Metcaif. "That is a shame! The service on this road is a disgrace. There is not an other train that stops at your station for over an hour." "I am not in the habit of discussing my inconveniences with strangers," de ciared the iittie giri, with a toss of her head, as she moved away. Metcaif foiiowed, and as Giison mov ed over to the other gate where 'the express was made up he smiied in sat isfaction, for had he not heard Met caif deciare that, angry or no, she must come across the street for a cup of tea and a bite to eat? The hour had neariy expired before they came into the concourse again, aud Giison's face fairiy giowed as he caught the took of happiness in their eyes. The train had been catted, and the gate was open, but the tittte gtrt dtd not pass through. "You dtd tt on purpose," she accused smtttngty as she taid a gentte hand on Giison's steeve. "And to think that I threatened to report you! You must have thought me a tittte cat." "Duty to ctose the gate when the signa! is given," said Gilson mechan icatty, but the ttttte girl saw oniy the twinkte in his eyes, and she raised her self upon the tips of her tittle patent teathers. "It's ati right again, thanks to you," sire whispered. "We wjli be married after "Easter, and you must come to the wedding." Btushingty she hurried through the gate. Metcalf pressed the toit worn hands as he followed after, and to Gil son, watching them go down the piat form through the Him of giad tears that veiled his eyes, it seemed that the clanging of belis, the hiss and roar of escaping steam and the babei of cries resoived into one grand wedding march for "his ltttie girl."
