AS EASY. Needs Only a Little Thinking. The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other, provided we get a proper start.

STUDY STRAWBOARD WASTE

Geological Survey at Work on Prcblem Ccnfronting Some State Interests. )

A particularly troublesome source of contention among various interests in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois is the effect of waste frcm strawboard, or, as they are more commonly called, pasteboard mills, on surface waters. Desirous of determining whether or not this straw-

board refuse is a- source of damage to interstate streams, the United Staies geological survey, recently made, through its division of hydro-econom-ics, -a careful study of the process used in the manufacture of strawboard, the character of the refuse, the nature of the pollution produced, the consequent damage to the stream, and the possible means of preventing such poliution. The results of this investigation are embodied in a report made by Prof. Robert Lemuel Sackett, ¢f Earlham ccllege,

| Richmond, Ind., which will be published | by the survey in the near future. Briefly | the results show that strawboard wastes { have damaging effects. but the problem l of purification offers no great difficulties. | The principal factories in the United ‘States are confined to a comparatively i small area. Indiana. Ohio and Illinois ‘ make- 83 per cent. of the board preduced i in the United States, and Indiana alorie produces nearly 50 per cent. of the total, ’After these three leaders, New K York, | Maryland and Michigan rank next in % order of prcduction. The census record | of 1500 shows that there are 59 straw- | board factories in the country, whick |used 157.534 tons of raw material tc | make a finished;product valued at §3,1 187.342.

Strawboard waste is an ‘extremely stable substance, which does not degenerate when kept in clean containers, but when mixed “with substances of a putrescible nature. such as sewage and other organic matter in streams. it becomes extremely fou! and objectionable. The waste liquors from the mills are ordinarily discharged into neighboring streams. The result depends upon the character and volume of the waterin the stream. As many Indiana rivers flow over limestone beds. their water is hard. carrying 15 to 2Q grains of lime to the gallon. The waste liquor from a strawboard mill where wash water ‘is not plentiful sometimes contains 200 or more grains of lime to the gallon. In order te reduce the quantity to 40 grains a gailon, the minimum stream flow would need to be about ten times the volume of water employed in the manufacturing process. This limits the number of streams upon which such mills can be operated in the present manner, ‘without nuisance, to a few rivers in each state.

Artificial drainage, the destruction of forests, and the eccentricities of rainfail have made the flow of rivers of the Ohio basin extremely low in the late summer and fall. Some streams, indeed, cease to be more than isolated ponds. Under these circumstances the discharge of sludge produces serious pollution. The interests of the state are concerned in this pollution of streams by strawboard mills, for the strawboard refuse is destructive.of fish, water supply, and ice crop, and lowers the value of real estate that lies near the polluted stream. '

Some manufacturers have run the waste into a series of beds sccoped out of a gravel bottom land. Here the straw and lime slowly settle while the water filters through the subsoil and eventually finds its way to the neighboring creek. But the great quantity of straw wasted soon clogs such natural filters and dependence is/placed upon high water to wash the refuse out of the beds. It is then deposited on other lands below, so that this method is only a makeshift, What a carefully constructed settling and filtering plant may accomplish has not yet been absolutely determined.

What Jap Censor Cuts Out.

This is what the Japanese censor forbids the publication of: (1) Details or accounts relating to tactics; (2) what relates to future war movements; (3) damage done to the Japanese warships and transports; (4) the range of guns in action and the quantity of shots; (5) the positions and names of the bases of naval operations; (6) the whereabouts of warships and transports, and (7) particulars with regard to coal, fresh water, munition of war, etc. - Telltale Compass. A recent French invention is a ship’s compass so mounted that as it swings rountl with the variations in the pointof the vessel it produces automatically, through electric connections, a chart on a sheet of paper, by consulting which the ship’s officers can see what the course was at any moment of the voyage. The same apparatus also registers the speed of the vessel by recording the number of revolutions of the screws, each stroke of the piston closing an electric circuit. : He Never Smiled Again. “The Hindoos,” remarked Softun, “believe there is a sign on each man’s to*ehead that the angels may read.” “l may not be an angel,” rejoined Miss Caustique, “but I can read the signs.” : L . ~ “Indeed!” exclaimed Softun, in sur‘prise. “What is the sign on my forehead?” - “Unfurnished fiat to let,” she answered.—Chicago Daily News,

USE UNDERGCROUND WATERS

Large and Valuakle Supply Obtained by Wells in Southern Louisiana. ‘ ' To no state in the union has a copious supply of deep well water been a greater boon than the state of Louisiana. The use of underground waters for the irrigation of rice fields has led to the sinking of an unusually large number of wells 10 the southern part

of the state, especially in the region along the coast, where values in some localities have increased five to ten fold within the last ten years through the reclamation eof the land by irrigation. Water-supply and irrigation paper No. 101 of the United States geological survey, entitled - “The Underground Waters of Southern Louisiana,” recently published for gratuitous distribution, contains, therefore, a great deal of information that may be of value to people interested

in the industrial development of Louisiana. It was written by Prof. Gilbert Dennison Harris, of Cornell university, and ‘Mr. M. L. Fuller, of the survey, has added a discussion of the uses of the water for water supplies and for rice irrigation.

Prof. Harris hegins his paper with a discussion of the origin of artesian and deep-well waters in southern Louisiana. He presents facts showing that neither guif waters nor river waters are the main sources of supply of the deep wells, and holds that the normal precipitation is entirely sufficient to account for the well supply. The annual rainfail of about 55 inches is: more than double the quantity necessary to irrigate the land if it were planted with rice. Much of this water is undoubtedly lost by flowing away in surface streams to the gulf or by leaching out into the gulf underground. Owing to the fact that the main local streams of southern Louisiana have never been gauged, the amount of water (hat reaches the sea, even by surface streams, is not yet known. Without proper hydrographic data, - such as the United States geological survey is accumulating in many districts, it is impossip:e {0 even approximately estimatc the externt to which the total amount of rainfall may Ule utilized here as deep-well water.

The topograpliy and stratigraphy of southern Louisiana are discussed in cansiderable detail by Prof. Harris, who . shows how they modify the character and the condition of the water. The bulk of the paper consists of well statisties. Numerous weils throughout the various parishes are described and records are given, where possible, of their depths, the strata they penetrate and their flows. The variation in flow and pressure head shown by wells east of the Mississippi and by those west of that river is discussed. Prof. Harris concludes with a chapter on well ¢rilling and pumping. 2 In discussing the increased use of underground waters in southern Louisiana, Mr. Fuller speaks of them as sources of town and domestie, of farm, railroad and manufacturing supplies. Extensive tables are given to show the extent and imnportance of the use of well and combined well and bayou systems for the irrigation of rice in Louisiana. The method in which the water is . applied and the land farmed is also described. ‘ .

THE WEST AFRICAN GORILLA

Largest of the Monkey Tribe and But Few of Them Ever in : Captivity.

The gorilla is the largest, the rugliest, the, most fierce in temper and, by reason of its shorter arms and longer legs, it is really the nearest to man, writes W. D. Hornaday, in his American Natural History. It is the only ape that walks erect without being taught, and that cpends a considerable portion of its life upon the ground. In bulk it is larger than an average man, and its arms and chest are of enormous proportions. The countenance of the gorilla_is very ugly and repulsive, and the shape of its skull is much farther from that of man than are thcse of the chimpanzee and orang-utan. Its skin is black, and the hair of full-grown specimens is grizzly-gray. - ;

The gorilla inhabits only a very small area in West Africa, directly on the equator, between the Gaboon and Congo rivers, and extending only 200 miles back from the coast. It is very shy, and so difficult to approach in those dark and tangled forests that very few white men ever have seen one wild. On account of the sullin, sulky disposition of the gorilla in captivity, only one of the four ar fivc young specimens that have been brought to Europe has lived longer than about 18 months. They sulk, often refuse food, will not exercise and die of indigestion. Up to this date (1903) only one live gorilla, and that a tiny infant, has ever landed in the United States; and it lived only five days after arrival. How to “Git Cheerful.” - “The way to git cheerful is to smile when you feel bad, to think about gomebody else’'s headache when yer own is ’most bustin, to keep on believin’ the sun is a-shinin’ when the ciouds is thick enough to cut.”—Mrs, Wiggs.

THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for August 28, 1804—“ Elijah Discouraged.” : (Prepared by the “Highway and Byway’’ Preacher.) , (Copyright, 1504, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. : (1 Kings 19:1-8; Memory Verses, 3,4.) 1. And Ahab told Jezebel ail that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain tall the prophets with the sword. 2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more ‘also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time, ! 3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-skeba, which belongeth to Judah, and left kLis servant there, 4. But he hkimself went a day’'s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himseif that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for 1 am not better than my fathers. 5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, tkhen an angel touched Lim, and said unto him, Ariseard eat. 6. And he lcoked, and, behoid, there was a cake baken c¢n the coails, and a cruse ot water at his heal. And he c¢id eat and drink, and laid him down again. ‘ 7. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and ; said, Arise and eat; because the jourrey is too great for thee, 8 And ke rose, ard did@ eat ard drink, and went in the strength of that meat 40 t days and 40 nights unto Horeb the mount of God. * THE LESSON includes only the lesson text. ; GOLDEN TEXT.—“In my Cistress I cried unto the Lord, and He heard 'me.'—Ps. 12031 : f TIME.—The day after the cdntest on ' Mount Carmel, PLACE.—Jezrecel, and the wilderness to & the south, @°F - : . Comparing Scripture with Scripture. From Faith's Mountaintop to Unbelief’s Wilderness.—James 5:17 tells us that Elijah was a “ma;:of'like passions with us,” and it is 6nly as we remember this that-we can realize that the fleeing prophet is the same prcphet who 24 hours before had stcod. upon Mount Carmel calling dewn the fire of Ged. God forbid that we should sit in judgment upon this heroic, krave, faithful servant of God. Rom. 2:1. But in huiiiility and faith we may learn come lesscns from his failure ard thereby strengthen ourselves against like defeat. ‘1 Cor. 10:11-12. The causes of Elijabg’é‘ﬁight were: (1) iPhysical reaction. The journey from Zarephath and the events ¢n Mount Carmel caused physical and nervous exhaustion, which was followed by great weakness and depression.. The place for Elijah was not at Jezreel but alone soméw»here with God where he could receive gpiritual and physical reviving. The place for the servant of God always, after a service has been splendidly rendered, is apart from the busy throng and alone with Jesus. Elijah’s first misstep was that run to Jezreel. Having done all heshould have stood and left results with God.

(2) Elijah overestimated the effect of Mount Carmel’s revival. .He wentastep farther than God led him ana figured on results, and when expectaticns failed,” discouragement came. Elijah went to Jezreel in great elation of spirit expecting that the mighty manifestation of God on Mount Carmel, and the flood of waters, would turn the most hardened sinner to God; perhaps he even looked for the conversion of Jezebel herself. The servant of God who figures on results, who estimates the probable fruit age, is inviting just such failure as camc to Elijah. ‘“God gives the increase.” It is our business to sow the seed, preach the word, and leave results with God. —1 Cor. 15:58. :

(3) Elijah took his eyes off God. He saw Jezebel and her vain threat v. 2; he saw himself as the only one left who knew and served God, amd he saw the glaring faults of others, vs. 10, 14. And so he had no eyes to see God. The man who takes his eyes off God is defeated and ready for flight. Prov. 29:25. The ten spies saw the giants and not God, Num.13:33, but Joshua and Caleb looked beyond the difficulties to God, Num. 14:8. (4) The Ego instead of God. Elijah had much to say about MY zeal, MY devotion, MY life and the failings and sins of others. When self becomes the center of thought, when self is lJauded and others condemned; when self appears indispensable to God, then comes the flight of discouragement, the juniper tree, and the decire to forsake the task, even by death. ‘ Elijah’s Foolish Prayer—He wanted to die, when the chariot and horses of Heaven wétre preparing to translate him. It was the prayer of petulancy, of discouragement, of unbelief. Contrast the prayer uttered in the Spirit on Mount Carmel with its. answerirg’ fire and abundance of rain, and this prayer under the juniper tree. Rom. 8:26. God did not hear this prayer of Eiijah. 1 John 5:14-15. And how many of our prayers fall short of the Divine ear for the same reason. .8

God’s Tender Care.—He gave His weary, frightened, discouraged, runaway prophet sleep. V. 5. P5.127:2. He sent His angel to minister to him. Heb. 1:14. He watched over him and sent His angel a second time. Ps. 121:3-7. No word of rebuke. No sign of displeasure. No threat or condemnation; but patient waiting, loving, tender watchful care. Ah, how the Father’s love is manifested. Godlovedand caredfordisobedi~ ent, unbelieving, runaway Elijah, and so He cares for and loves you and me when we fall into sin.—Ps. 103:13; 86:15.

EDUCATIONAL ETCETERA.

- The German emperor speaks several languages, and favors teaching Chinese and Japanese in upper classes of high school. : : The German minister of education announces that he contereplates issuing a set of suggestions aiming at the restriction or abolition of corset wearing by young girls attending the state schools. Mrs. Mary W. Newberry, widow of the late Rev. T. P. Newberry, of Philadel‘phia, has been elected preceptress of Ohio Wesleyan university. The Rev. and Mrs. Newberry were both graduates of that institution. ‘

In India only about three per cent. of the girls attend public school, but the government of India in its educational resolution states that in trying to promote the education of girls a far greater proportional impulse is imparted to the educational and moral tone of the people than by the education of the men. The Chinese government is to receive £3OO a thousand for all the Chinese coolies shipped to the South African mines. :

PROSPECTS FULL OF CHEER

Democrats Have Better Than an Even Chance to Carry.the Country : o in November.

Néw York’s removal from the doubtful column to a secure position in the democratic file of states narrows calculations greatly. Heretofore the narrowest republican estimate of the relative- strength of the parties has conceded only the solid south with its total of 151 electoral vote, to democracy; and has placed New York in the doubtfui column together with Delaware, Maryland and Nevada.

New York adds 39 votes to this conceded total of democracy, making 190 out of the 239 votes necessary to a victory, while the democratic acquisition of New York has a vital effect on several other states. In view of the reasonable [ certainty that New York will go )for! Parker by a safe majority it is reasonable add New Jersey Connecticut and Westyirginia to the doubtful column.

‘; Maryland should be taken cut of the doubtful column and conceded to democracy. Thus the democratic total assured may be placed at 198 votes, while the doubtful column may be revised as . follows: : ! Dela Ware (00l deeisanicie i ien L INEW: JOLSOY bl v csihi st i e YD CONBECHCHT iiilst i e e West. Virginia .. .o ddeiiilas ios e TPotalini o iviin v it s s dagp These are states which are “doubtful”’ }with a democratic leaning. Some re- { publican estimates have placed Nevada {in the democratic column. Delaware | and West Virginia are extremely likei ly to go as Maryland goes; and the Dem- ’ ocratic chance in Connecticut and New Jersey is apace with the lead in New York. It is almost an impossibility for the republicans to carry thése two states without carrying New York. A further doubtful column may be computed of states which are uncertain, { but in which the chance is not so favor'able to democracy: . | Colorada oo in e e e D Californaia ..., cansh gl aliars g Tdaho s s i aanrn . irsa v g Montansg: .o sl asieli i iing OTCBON: iil i ernint b s S A '\Viscnnsin sslss e s e e 1 . Thus the two sets of doubtful states comprise 73 votes. Democracy requires 41 of these doubtful votes in order to win. Several combinations, easily within | reason and the possibilities, make up the required number. Let democracy carry the first set of doubtful states and it needs but nine more votes. i Let democracy carry Wisconsgin, in | the second set, and it could win without Delaware or Nevada in the first set. Let democracy carry Wisconsin and Colorado, in the second set, and it could win without Connecticut, or West Virginia, or Delaware and' Nevada, in the first set. I‘ A liberal estimate, conceding Illinois { and Indiana to the republicans, gives them 205 electoral votes. Thus they require 34 additional votes'to win. If the republicans lose the first set of doubtful states, then they cannot afford to lose more than seven votes in the second set of doubtful states. The loss of Colora- | do and Idaho or Montana or Oregon or i Utah would be fatal. The loss of Wis- { consin would be fatal. _ The St. Louis Republic Says that in. order to win, the republicans must hold together the ‘“sure” states, and must carry the entire west with the exception of Nevada. = Upon the whole the democrats may be said to have better than an even chance. The chance would be about even—the republicans having 205 against democracy’s 198 “‘sure’” votes—were it not for the fact that as New York goes many of the doubtful states will probably go. New York is the big and powerful asset " and its turning is likely.toinfluence oth-’ .er of the big commercial and industrial states. Not even Indiana and Illinois are assiured to the republicans in the event of a democratc New York. The loss of either one of them, or of Ohio, would be absolutely fatal to the republican party; where as democracy can win easiligr without them, . Parker Not Found Wanting. Ever since Judge Parker’s telegram declaring that the presidency must come to him right or he wouldnot have it, his greatest peril has been that of an anticlimax. Could he hold the ear of the country which he had so instantaneously ‘ gained? Or would his act of bold initia- ‘ tive be followed by timidities of speech? His highly dramatic first appearance on the national stage made it the harder, yet the more necessary, to fix the eye of the spectators when he stepped forth a second time. But all doubts of his ability fittingly to follow up his great stroke are solved by his speech of acceptance. It is the utterance of a man who does ‘his own thinking, who has something to say, and who says it with the utmost frankness. The country will proncunce him a man worth listening to,«&gd will l gladly hear him further.—N. Y. Post. |

JUDCGE PARKER’S ADDRESS.

Democratic Leaders Pronounce Democratic Candidate’s Remarks a . Powerful Document.

Follpwing are the comments of prominent democrats on the specch of accepiance delivered by Judge Parker: . Champ Clark, chairman of the notification committee—A magnificent speech, and it/will make even a hetter campaign document. It wasforceful and true. The repubiiéans will 'have great difficulty in answering it. ;

~ Thomas Taggart, chairman of ite democratic national committee—Judga Parker’s speech lessens our work in the campaign by 50 per cect.. and I believa now he will surely be elected. It was a strong statement of facts putin a jus dicial and unanswerable form.

Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall—A splendid speech and a great vote-getter. It had the truering of sincerity. A Senator Patrick McCarrgn, of BrookIyn—An excellent speech; one of the best and most forceful it has ever been my pleasure to hear. It embodies aill the issues which the people will be called upon to decide at the fall elections. Itis the hest evidence of the wisdom of Judge Parker’s nomination. His great courage is shown in the treatment of issues.

David B. Hill—lt was a wonderful speech, and treated upon all issues before/the people to-day. It was a speech of which any man might be proud—excellent. admirable, grand. . Hugh J. Grant—lt was a strong document and a timely on€. I believe that his views upon second terms for presidents insures Judge Parlier’s success at the polls. John Whalen—The man is a platform in himself. His speech wasa sericusand convincing statement. Former United States Senator Lindsey, of Kentucky—Judge Parker's speech was superb. It wasthe great democratic declaration that the country has been waiting for. It was the first cheering thing that a democratiic candidate has done for €ight years. _ Perry Belmont—l believe that Judge Parker means what he says. and the evident sincerity of the man is enough to encourage all democrats and make them hopeful of success. : Ncrman E. Mack, national committeeman from New York—The greatest speech ever delivered in acceptance of a presidential nomination that I have ever heard. It will bring back to us hundreds of thousands of votes.

Frank Campbell, former state chairman—Tl was never so impressed. At tha conclusion of the address I found tears in my eyes and myself shaking hands with the judge.’ . Daniel Campau, of Michigan—lt contained the views of an extraordinary man who will prove an extraordinary president. : : James W. Gerard—As a lawyer. I believe that it is one of the most powerful documents ever penned. ‘ William F. Sheehan. chairman of the democratic national executive commitiee —lt was the speech of a statesman. In it the man showed himself a true leader. It cannot fail to win the admiration of the country. .

H. Carlisle, secretary democratic state committee—For dignity, conservatism and a clear enunciation of old-tashioned democratic principles the address could not be surpassed. John Cunn<en, attorney general—‘What particularly appealed to me was the judge’s argument for the strict enforcement of+law. -I liked his handlirg of the imperialism and militarism issues. JohnC. Carlisle, former secretary of the treasury—lt was an able and great statesmanlike document—a speech that stamps him the true leader of democracy. The Voice of a Statesman. Judge Parker’s first formal expression on the issues of the campaign, made in his speech accepting the nomination for the presidency, will not only satisfy but delight lovers of constitutional democracy. It isthe voice of one erying in the wilderness of centralization, imperialism and autocracy, into which we have floundered; the clear call to the trus faith of popular sovereignty on which the republic was founded, by which it has been maintained, and through which it must be perpetuated.
