By invitation of the Chilean government the Pan-American Scientific congress will hold its meeting the last of December, this year, at Santiago, whither delegates from all nations in the Americas are now making preparations to go. The United States has appropriated $35,000 to defray the expenses of its delegates and the choice of men from the United States consists of Prof. Archibald Cary Coolidge of the Harvard historical department; Prof. Hiram Bingham, now of the Yale historical department, but for the last five years curator of South American history and literature at the Cambridge university; Prof. Leo S. Rowe of the University of Pennsylvania, a well-known authority on Latin America; Prof. Paul S. Reinsch of the University of Wisconsin, a delegate to the third Pan-American congress in 1906, and well known for his writings on political science and colonial government; Col. William C. Gorgas of the TUnited States army, chief sanitary officer of the Isthmian canal commission; William H. Holmes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology at the Smithsonian institution, Washington; Prof. Bernard Moses of the historical and political science department of the University of California; George M. Rommel of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture; Prof. William M. Shepherd of Colum-

bia university, a close student of South American affairs, and Prof. William B. Smith of the philosophical department of Tulane university, Louisiana, who is almost as well known as a mathematician and New Testament critic as a philosopher. Prof. Rowe is chairman and Prof. Reinsch vicechairman of the delegation. Though the coming congress is the first scientific gathering to include all the countries of the western hemisphere, it will be the fourth congress of the kind for the Latin-American countriés. The first was held at Buenos Ayres in 1898, the second at ‘Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1901, and the third at Rio de Janeiro in 1905. It is owing to the predominant part assumed by the United States in the Pan-American conference of 1906, that this country was invited to send representatives to the more specialized congress. . S

The purpose of the scientific congress at Santiago is to bring together advanced thinkers in all lines of scientific research for the discussion of the numerous problems confronting modern civilization, and particularly of such as, through their elucidation, will -tend to the social betterment and national prosperity of the countries represented. - Each congress has been broader in purpose than its predecessor and has had a larger representation, but it is due to the Chilean committee that planned the coming meeting that the United States was invited to send delegates. - ; The TUnited States government, through Secretary of State Root, invited 15 universities to send representatives. Only six have responded, but it is expected that the universities of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas and Wisconsin and George Washington, Johns Hopkins and Princeton will name delegates. - The United States government accepted the Chilean invitation to send

HAD A GOOD QUALIFICATION

Colored Butler a Graduate of “Civil s Service Examination.”

The mystery of the negro mind is illustrated by a story which the Philadelphia Record prints. John, the colored applicant for the position of butler in a family living in one of the fashionable suburbs of Philadelphia, strove to impress his would-be employer with his entire fitness -for the place. ’ “Oh, yes, suh,”’ he said, “I's sholy well educated, suh. I's passed a civil service examination.” “Indeed,” responded the gentleman, “that is very fine, I'm sure, but I can’t say that that will be of any particular value to' me in a butler.” “No?” said the surprised applicant. “It shore is strange how gemmen’s tastes do differ. Now, Mr. Williams,” ~—nami his former employer—‘“he say: ‘J:& one thing I deman’ is civil service to' mah guests,’ an’ he done give me a zamination ri’ there, suh, an’ that's the truf.”. : x

delegates to the first Pan-American congress because it felt such meetings would prove extremely valuable not only in effecting the close relations of the Amerig:a'n countries, so much striven for now, but because it was sure the meeting would be of great practical good. | : At the Rio congress of 1905, where 14 countries had representatives, 120 papers were read. In the coming congress the topics for discussion are under nine headings: mathematics, physical sciences, natural, anthropological and ethnological -sciences, engineering, medical sciences and hygiene, juridical science, .social sciences, pedagogy and philosophy, agronomy and zootechnics, which latter may be called the science of agriculture. The discussions_under the head of social sciences are expected to be the most important, 40 per cent. of the subjects to be introduced in the congress being grouped = under that title. : = At Santiago there will' be established a general clearing house of American information. The great bulk of the work will come under the social sciences, and 205 subheads under that title have been made. It is certain that a good deal more information concerning the early history and inhabitants of America will become common knowledge after the congress closes. Exchange of ideas on agricultural methods will also be valuable. Among the almost innumerable subjects to be talked over tHe most important are such as these: v ‘Means which American nations might employ to properly assimilate immigrants to the native element. The advisability of introducing the referendum. Results following reforms introduced in American countries for the purpose of affording the people a more direct participation in public affairs. Labor, including co-operative building plans, laws to protect women and children in industrial labor, minimum wages, co-operative loan associations, savings banks, relief societies, labor exchanges, compulsory insurance, industrial schools, social education and labor unions. :

¥ Under engineering some subjects are: Plans and gages of intercontinental railways, supply of drinking water, distribution of irrigation water 'and adoption of a Pan-American standard, reinforced concrete construction, railway car lighting and processes for concentration of ores, uses of nitrate and discussions of the only source of supply, the Chilean fields. " TUnder agronomy and zootechnics proposed subjects include preparation and improvement of soils, agricultural machinery, reforestation, viticulture and vinification, production of meat, fat, milk, butter, cheegg and wool, ma|chinery for the elabogﬁation and conservation of animal products, poultry, fish culture, parasitical and contagious diseases of domestic animals, rural construction, economic elements in agricultural production. : When it is considered that we are far in advance of South America on some of these matters, while they are much better informed on others, the great value of the coming congress to all the people of the western hemisphere can be appreciated.

Depopulated by Sleeping Sickness. Fajao as a native town was no more. At hardly any point in Uganda has the sleeping sickness made such frightful ravages. At least 6,000 persons had perished in the last two years. Almost the whole population had been swept away. :

Scarcely enough remained to form the deputation, who in their white robes could be discerned at the entrance to the cleared area of the camping ground. Apnd this cleared area was itself of the utmost importance, for all around it the powers of evil were strong. The groves which fringed and overhung the river swarmed with tsetse flies of newly replenished venom and approved malignity, and no man could enter them except at a risk.—Winston Churchill in Strand Magazine.

Then the gentleman saw a great light. He replied: “Yes, you are quite right, John. Civil service is a very important and rather unusual virtue, so if you have passed that examination, I think we will consider you engaged.” Modern “Prince Hal.” Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria again demonstrates that the Prince Hal type of prince is not impossible. He was wont to be an idler of the idlers. He cared for nothing but sports, hunting and shooting. His own people he disliked extremely, and at one time refused to go among them, vowing that they were the most unwashed race in Europe. But now he is doing everything in his ‘power to court popular favor. He is leading a life of ideal temperance, and lately he 'presented a botanical garden to the municipality of Sofia. He who was so tactless and impatient is now a model of patiencg and people now speak of his “good heart.”—Harper's Weekly.

The Review

Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 27, 1908

Specially Arranged for This Paper

GOLDEN TEXT.—“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”—Prov. 4:23. : - Comment and Suggestive Thought, This review should cover the whole period of our six months’ study. "The main facts should be held in the memodry as a basis of the instruetion the history is intended to teach. The great value cf history lies in the light it sheds on the great principles of true living. “History is philosophy teaching by examples,” said Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Carlyle calls it “Philosophy teaching by experience.” The Bible history is far more to us, for it is a divinely guided revelation of God’s principles and plans of dealing with men. But it is to be seen and studied in the light of its own times and circumstances.

A review is a fitting lesson for the closing sabbath of the year, bidding us look carefully at the trend and tide of our own lives, learning what to avoid and what to cherish, what to repent of and what to give thanks for. Thus shall the past illumine the path of the future; evils repented of shall be lighthouses on the hidden rocks; and work well done and victories gained shall be favoring gales toward the port of eternal life. X ; Saul and His Kingdom—B. C. 1095-

_The first king with a great task before him. . A good general—lovabler man. A brave man.

Not sufficient ability to accomplish his work. Chief cause of his failures was moral. He was selfish and disobedient to God, without depth of religious life. : S '

~ His kingdom was small. His death tragic. ! David and His Kingdom—B. C. 10551015. i

For his early life and training, and for the discipline of his young manhood, see review of last quarter. .David had many personal qualities and natural advantages which made it possible for him to become 'a great king. Name them. But whether these possibilities became realized depended upon himself. David was true to himself and to God. From the beginning he did his level best. He was faithful to every duty. He learned his lessons from everything that came to him. He was deeply religious, and the fact gave strength to his character, wisdom to his actions, and defense against temptation. t :

- He became a great statesman, general, organizer, poet, musician. Results.—David found the kingdom divided, distracted, subdued by enemies, and in a very low religious condition. £

David left the kingdom great in many ways: N ;

1. A united people. 5 2. A greatly enlarged territory and population.

3. Great progress in the religious life of the people. : 4. Great progress in government. The kingdom highly organized as a state, as a military power, as a religious institution.

5." Great increase in wealth, prosperity, and the blessings of life. 6. Peace with all the surrounding nations. s

7. He made great preparations for building the temple. 8. He wrote Psalms which are a blessing to all the ages. v * His great sin marred his career and brought disastrous consequences. But his repentance was most manly and thorough. And his life, mellowed and deepened, was a blessing to the end.

His success was founded on the principles which bring true=success to-day. Solomon and His Kingdom—B. C. 1015gyB: oo

Tell the story of his early life and circumstances.

His most marked early experience was his wise choice.

The Result.—l. “He raised Israel, for a time, to the height of its national aspirations and showed the possibilities of splendor and authority to which it might attain.”—Farrar, 2. “He stirred the intellectual life of the people in new directions.” 3. “He enshrined their worship in a worthy and permanent temple,” “by which he influenced ' their religious life down to its latest days.” This temple was idealized, together with the city, into a type of the spiritual temple and the New Jerusalem, the city of God which came down from heaven.

| 4. The peace which prevailed during ,nearly all of his reign was a great { achievement and made many of the |other blessings possible. ' 5. His failure and weakneSs came { from the atmosphere of worldliness, from yielding to temptation into which he placed himself. 'v 6. For this falling into sin he suf{fered many things, and his people and Y kingdom suffered more, f 7. But Solomon did not wholly fall -from his high estate, nor were the great things he had done for his kingdom obliterated. There was far more good than evil 3 No one can any more gain happiness in Solomon’s way than he can quench his thirst with the salt waters of the sea. .Solomon forfeited the 'conditional promise of long life. He failed in the conditions, and his life burned out at the age of 60. During Gun Firing. = The British admiralty has given attention to the question of ear protection during heavy gun firing, and it has been decided to use plasticine, with the addition of cotton wool, but the form of ear protection to be used is to be left to the individual choice of officers and men. Plasticine may be | supplied to ships and gunnery schools if specially demanded. The addition of 50 to 60 grains of cotton wool has been recommended to insure perfect safety, It is pointed out that the cost of the material is very small and its

The Marble Deposit Is Exposed fo r a Distance of More Than a Mile.

high. Such a structure could be chiseled out of this mountain of selid white statuary marble, and still there would be fields of unknown extent above and below and on all sides. So great is the deposit of white marble, that if perchance every person in the civilized world should expire to-day, a monument of = generous proportions could be provided for each individual. These statements, extravagant as they may appear to be, are actually more than conservative and it is possible to easily verify them by actual measurements. .

For present-day requirements there has been exposed one section .of solid white marble one mile long, 355 feet thick, and extending back at least a mile and a half, as indicated by drillings. The cores from these drillings show that all of the marble clear to the bottom in this cross section of the deposit is sound and beautiful. Of this immense deposit 41 per cent. is pure white statuary marble and 59 per cent. is divided between golden vein and a beautiful dark vein. The golden vein marble- gives the warm coloring that is found in onyx. The satuary marble is flawless and without a tgace of color or shadow, and in quality is equal or superior to the most famous Italian and Grecian marble.

THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

Preliminary Mental Work Has Its ‘Subconscious Influence. “Inspiration is generally the result of a preliminary effort.” So says a recent French writer, discussing some remarkable autobiographical passages from an article by Henri Poincare, the eminent French mathematician. Almost every one has noticed that after long and fruitless mental effort the result after which one has been striving will come to him suddenly while he is thinking of something else. The preliminary mental work has borne its fruit Ssubconsciously. Poincare reports that many of his most abstruse mathematical discoveries have come to him in just this way. Once, after working on a difficult problem for two weeks, the solution came to him spontaneously at night while he was trying to get to sleep; another came to him while he was entering an omnibus, his mind apvarently remote from all mathemat-

~ This marble can be quarried in blocks or pillars of any dimensions, a 50-ton derrick and the maximum capacity of the modern railroad car alone limiting the. size -of the commercial product. At this time the output is 1,500 cubic feet per day, but within ten years it is confidently believed the production will reach 10,000 cubic feet per day, the demand alone limiting the output. = i For a verity the gold, silver, copper and zinc miners and the farmers of Colorado will be obliged to look to their laurels within the next ten years, otherwise the products of the mine and the farm will be surpassed in value by the returns from the marble industry now being developed in that state,. = : : Although this industry 1s scarcely two years old, it is coming to the front with amazing strides. Two years ago the town of Marble, for many vears an abandonéd mining camp, had a population of four people. To-day it is a bustling little. community of 1,000 persons, all supported directly or indirectly by the marble business. _~ Finishing -mills, electric power plants, cable and electric trams, and 100 or more cottages have been erected within the past eight months, and many structures of various kinds are now under way. , Long before the finishing mill was completed, and actually before the company was ready to ship one cubic foot of finished marble, contraets had been made with Cuyahoga county, Ohio, officials to supply $500,000 worth of marble to finish the interior of the new Cleveland courthouse, an-

other contract of $175,000 had been made to supply the marble used in the construction of the Youngstown, O, courthouse and still another contract had been made for a $lOO,OOO Cheesman park memorial in Denver, With the development of these quarries the use of white marble for interior as well as exterior finish will greatly increase, particularly in the Missouri River valley, in the Rocky mountain region and on the Pacific coast; and judging from the favorablé reception this marble has received in the far east, the foreign and Vermont product will soon cease to dominate the eastern market. Curious Bermudan Plant. Bermuda possesses a plant of the house leek family which has curious properties. When the leaves begin to shrivel and fade they put forth new shoots, which in turn bear leaves that continue to grow fresh and green for many weeks. The leaves are about four inches long, rich green in color and of waxen texture. If one of the leaves is pinned.to a wall indoors it will begin to sprout within three or four daﬁ's,, be it winter or ‘summer. The limit of existence of the life plant seems dependent upon the quantity of heat and light which the plant obtains.. 3 o :

ical thoughts. Again an important conclusion forced itself upon him “with brevity, suddenness and immediate certitude” while he was resting on the sea beach after a long period of apparently futile cogitation. ° The striking part of all this is the appearance of spontaneous illumination, which may be taken as the sign of long subconscious deliberation. Experiences of the kihd would appear to be very common with mathematicians, and, indeed, with all whose work requires long periods of mental concentration. : : : Sixty Miles of Logs. The largest raft of logs ever towed from Nova Scotia to Boston was composed of enough logs to reach 60 miles, if placed end to end. It was composed of 7,000 logs rafted together in a mass of 400 feet in length, 50 feet wide, and 28 feet in depth. It floated with ten feet of logs above water and 1§ feet submereed - -

CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF. _innocent Thoucht of Business Mam That Gave Serious Offense. . Two business men had been talking good -ngtured}y'::?oiher day. Thelr conversation had reviewed a number of things, and a remark made by the proprietor as his caller was leaving brought up the subject of prosperity in a rather awkward war. o “Business with me has been a Hitle dull of late. I've had only a few call ers,” he remarked. - : The friend smilingly rejoined: “You'll have enough of them in = short time—prosperity’s coming right along. Why,” he added, emphaticaily, “the next time I drop around, instead of being able to ¢hat with you for hal? an hour, there’ll be s% many people ahead of me that i*'ll'take me two hours to get to you—maybe I cant §ée you at all.” L " “I hope so 0,” rejoined the proprietor, cheering up over the prospects of re_newed businegs activity. - ; His caller l%‘erally “stormed” out of the office, leaving his erstwhile host In a state of bewilderment as to what had happened. i A POSER. ; & £ > - B If/ — TV P&L i ) e 8. : j ¥ ¥ HE 0 L Mrs. Whim—You needn’t say woman has no mechanical genius.

Speaking of that rare gift, symwmetry of person, it is more desirable than beauty of feature, because it outlasts youth. The symmetrical figure is perfectly proportioned and articelated anatomy, and nothing is more rare.
