O make the wind that from Eden time bloweth where it llsteth carry man on frail new found wings savors of the sublime. But it also savors of the supremely natural, for have not the years

looked forward to it as a foregone conclusion? Not because it was imperative, like those problems that the race must solve for its very existence, but merely for the reason that man in his god-like vanity must perforce reach the very limit, if limit there be, of his possibilities. Scf'hien have learned to make wings that adapt themselves in a measure to the air, and when the untamable winds are complaisant they make their little flights and say, “We have conquered the sky. Behold the sublime! —the work of men.’’ And the name of each aerial adventurer is known and lauded and passed from tongue to tongue. To take that same free eternal air and rend it as' we rend the earth to make metals, to make of it helpless material in men’s hands, answering with indifference its raging and blustering, and to do not only that, but to make it answer the most unanswerable riddle ever propounded by mother earth —this is the work of one woman. And it is a thousand to one you have never even heard her name. No, not strange, but only the world’s , way. For one achievement is as romantic and gratuitous as a tourney of knights in glittering armor. But the ether is as humble as the baking of a loaf in the ashes. Bo that I hesitate to turn from the grandeur of flying through the air to the making of fertilizer from that air, lest I be accused of willfully plunging from the sublime to the ridiculous. It is not only impossible, being an accomplished fact, but it is of an aspect yet more sublime than aviation. Never heard of making fertilizer out of the air? There is a factory now doing it in this country and another is being built, there are seven or eight in Norway, and Sweden, Austria, Germany and France have them also. Fertilizer is absolutely essential,to your life, because there is not so very much virgin soil left on the earth, and much of what there is is uncultivable. And in spite of the rotating of crops earth is becoming weary with the immense strain of feeding her teeming millions. In the childhood of the race she fed us freely, as a mother should her babes. But as the race grew up things have changed, and earth long since became like a bank into which we must first put something if we would get anything out. The next age will behold a still more stringent state of affairs, for earth will be seen to be holding over man’s head a mortgage, with the threat of immediate forclosure if the giant interest accruing be not met. Even now things have reached a state , where practically every acre of land under cultivation is first fertilized. The end of the natural fertilizer is in sight, which means that' Mother Earth has at last seen through our trick of paying our board bill with

BOOKS TO SUIT CONDITIONS

Instance cf Way in Which Librarians Are Called on to Exercise Judgment. Infinite are the requirements and profound the judgment of librarians. The other day a little girl who does the family marketing rushed into a ■west side library with, the announcement that the sewing society was going to meet at her mother’s house that afternoon and wouldn’t the librarian please send around a book suitable for the elocutionist of the society to read aloud while the) others worked? The young woman appealed to sent the sequel to a particularly charming story that had beguiled the tedium of the same circle on a previous afternoon. In a short while the little girl returned the book. “Ma says this ain’t the kind of a story they need today,” she said. “They ain’t workin’ on baby clothes and shirtwaists today. They’re darnin’ men's socks and mendin’ shirts, and jthey want something suitable."

something taken from herself, and is putting a lock on the pantry door. What next? We must pay her or starve, and pay her in advance in the shape of so much fertilizer for so much food. So the mad question becomes. “H o w shall we pay without coin? Earth is our only supply of that, even as shells our only supply of food. And how she is withdrawing the coin.” Could a more impossible deadlock be imagined? » And doesn’t the deadlock become a idling to amaze the stars when we consider that one of the most needed elements of a “complete fertilizer” exists right in the air that all plants grow up in and breath e and stretch out their arms in, but that through all the aeons that have passed since “God said, let the eart h bring

forth,’ they have been separated by a gulf that food that they live In and for lack of which earth says she w’ill one day extinguish them and through them us. That is not to say that plants do not absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere. But plants obtain but a part of the needed nitrates that way. The rest must, .by an edict of nature, come by way of their roots from the soil where earth is withdrawing the supply, instead of byway of leaf and branch from the air, where the supply Is exhaustless. Doesn’t that look as if it were true that earth were conspiring against her children? That is just what It has been looking like to those seer eyed scientists who are able to peer into the future and see the end of those supplies that seem so boundless to the lay mind. But even to them the question has only recently become acute, and they have been asking each other how thia great sphinx riddle cofild be answered. But where was ever the woman who could forever remain a closed book to other women? The riddle has been answ’ered, and answered by a woman. If earth demands fertilization and is withdrawing her own natural supplies of the coin she demands, what then? “Simple,” said Mme. Lefebre of Paris. “There’s only one o thing besides the earth available, and that is the air. Use it.” And then she devised the method of extracting the nitrogen from the air and using it to make nitric acid, and in ’ turn the multitudinous chemicals that man now needs, including the humble and all important fertilizer. “When did she do It?” asks the public. “It must be very recent, or the news would have traveled outside of scientific circles. When it does, the woman will be lauded as she deserves.” The woman will not be lauded. She made her discovery more than half a century ago, taking out an English patent on the process in the year 1859, and the decades that intervened between the time of her work and mankind’s discovery of its necessity have been sufficient to bury her name as completely as they hid her deed till Urgent necessity made us aware of it. Look through the articles on famous women scientists in the old French reviews; look through French dictionaries of' science and histories of important inventions. You’ll find the names of those who met a then recognized need, but you will probably find no mention of her, though the value of her discovery may exceed theirs many times. And listen to this, published not long ago in one of the chewical trade journals: “Nitrogen .... is so rare an article, the commercial sources of it being so few, that he who will discover a cheap commercial process for obtaining it fror the atmosphere and combining it In a form that will be serviceable in cropproduction not only will be a great benefactor and Inventor, but will change the economy of living ou this earth.” “He who will discover!” “She” had already discovered, and had done it before the need became pressing, just as a mother feeds her family so long be-

There was a consultation of librarians. Just what kind of literature , would fit the mental attitude of women engaged in darning socks and mending shirts was a question hitherto unconsidered. They decided on a woman’s rights pamphlet called “The Eternal Warfare.” Apparently it suited, for the child dM not bring it back.

fore hunger becomes acute that thej are not aware that her simple act sue tains and saves their very lives. Hat Mme. Lefebre made hbr discovery 5( years after she did this is what th< chemist would have said: “Nitroger ... is so rare an article . . . that sh« who discovered a process for obtain ing it from the atmosphere . . not only is a great benefactor and inven tor, but has changed the economy oi living on this earth.” Then he might have added: “And the modern need being everlastingly for the greatei cheapening of processes, and the cost of water power, high or low, the one who will make the latter still cheaper or invent a substitute independent of the natural supply of water power, will make her blessing to mankind practic ally free,” What is this process that produces such marvelous results? It is as elemental in its simplicity as the great primal drama. I spoke of in beginning to tell this story. It is in this that fire and water are called in to aid the woman. Fire? The leading feature of the process is an electric arc between the poles of which the temperature is 4,200 degrees centigrade, or 7,592 degrees Fahrenheit. It reminds us of that “fervent heat” in which “the earth also shall melt,” and when air is passed, over that arc one naturally expects a result apocalyptic in its nature. What does happen is that the oxygen in the air is burnt up, utterly consumed. That which remains is, a colorless gas, as invisible as the air itself, which is known as nitric oxide. This, driven out into the air, recombines with it, the result being, of course, twice as much nitrogen as there was before to the same amount of oxygen; in ’ other words, nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The next step is just as childishly simple. There is added one more ingredient, ho rare and mystic compound to transform the air by magic into chemicals before our eyes—just water. The result of this is nitric acid, poisonous and powerful, made of air plus a part of the air plus water! And this chemical stands second in commercial importance, only one, sulphuric acid, having a vaster area of usefulness. But nitric acid, you say, is not fertilizer. It practically is in the. chemist’s mind, for with it he is as near to having fertilizer as he is to having money when he pushes an indorsed check through the paying teller’s window. Limestone is cheap, exhaustless, easy to get and easy to w’ork He treats it with his air made nitric acid, and the result is nitrate of lime (or nitrate of calcium), for fertilizing purposes the practical equivalent oi the famous Chilian nitrate of soda. That is about all of the process, but, simple as it is, it is spectaculai enough to fulfill all expectations. For the electric spark between the poles of that arc is.nine feet long. Nine feet of that inconceivable fervor of heat! a nine foot core of light so intense as to be colorless, a thing almost beyond the concept of both eye and imagination. Surrounding this is a zone of wonderful greenish blue, fascinating and repelling at the same time, like an evil beauty. Here the temperature is 1,400 degrees centigrade, or 2,552 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrapped about this (the beauty’s veil, to make more alluring by partial con cealment) is a zone of pale greenish brown, and here the temperature is but a paltry 900 or 1,000 centigrade. It is mystical, terrible, and to behold as its result' that humble, whitish, crumbly stuff that’ is only fertilizer dust, and to return to dust, is as if we were to behold witches casting, with spells and mutterings, all sorts of magic into their cauldron to take therefrom —a : loaf of bread. That is just what is it, though—bread for us and the generations to come. For, in spite of the fact that water power costs four times as much in this country as it does in Norway and twice as much as in Austria oi Switzerland, its development has al ready so cheapened the use of electricity that the production of atmospheric nitrogen is at last coming intc its own as a thing of such limitless commercial value that its discoverer indeed deserves the name of “a great benefactor,” for she has, in truth, accomplished that which will “change the economy of living on this earth.” Child Explained. Sinker told the following story: Hs was one day giving a lesson to his school children at Goole. He had been talking to them about colors and had explained that white denoted good ness and black sin. Wishing to drive his lesson further home, Sinker said: “Now, chUdren, have you ever noticed the colons of my hood?” “Yes, sir; black and white." “Quite right, and what do those colors signify?” After a short pause one small child answered: “Please, sir, you wear black because you are a sinner, and white because you are trying to be good!”

MP aR BLUFFED WITH EMPTY GUNS Company of Sixty-sixth Illinois Puts Up Solid Front to Enemy, Although Ammunition Was Exhausted. My company had been on picket iuty the night before the battle of At■anta. We were perhaps half a mile jast of the rebel breastworks. Nothing of special interest occurred durng the night. Soon after our break.'ast of hardtack an. order came to us, laying that the rebels had evacuated :he breastworks and for us to join die regiment at once. My regiment, he Sixty-sixth Illinois (Western Sharpshooters), was in the Second srigade, Second division, Sixtenth :orps, under Gen. G. M. Dodge, writes f. L Hayes, captain Company I, Slx-:y-sixth Illinois, in the National Tribme. We joined the regiment about nine o’clock on July 22, 1864. As we moved south we halted occasionally, and finally we could see the rebel army, south of us, marching east to get in our rear. In a few minutes word came that they were advancing on us from the east. On our right was Blair's Seventeenth corps. The Sixteenth and Seventeenth corps joined between, where . we were in a large open field skirted on the south side by heavy woods. The line of battle made a bend between those two points. While we faced east, those of the Seventeenth corps faced south. The first view of the fighting was from the front of the Seventeenth corps. The rebels made a charge in a long, beautiful line of gray, shooting ag they marched. Finally a halt was made, when the Yanks made a rush for the line of gray. They stood a minute and then fell back, followed by the line of blue to near the woods. The rebels were reinforced by their reserves, and they drove our boys back again. By this time the Confederates were appearing in our front, and I told to let them come nearer, as we were armed with Henry 16-shooters; but when they wounded some of our men some one cried out: “Shoot, boys,” and they did. In a few minutes our front was cleared, and on our right the the blue coats had been reinforced, and I saw them as they chased the Confederates into the woods, where they were lost to my view. Qur boys continued to pepper thet woods in our front, and I thought the battle over, when all at once there poured into our front again and on Dur right a larger body of the enemy than at first. “Captain,” I heard my boys say, ‘we are out of ammunition. What shall we do?” v “Form a line and make a show; vhen they come beat them over the lead with the butts of your guns,” I relied. They rallied to the summons, and ormed a line quicker than I can tell It. My line put up a solid front. Then we got word that we would be •elieved, as Gen. Sweeney noticed’our medicament and had men come to our mpport. We went to the rear and were supdied with ammunition. We sent the WMI Continued to Pepper the Woods In Our Front. vounded to hospitals, and laid oui lead boys side by side for burial. We lad scarcely finished this work when ve were ordered on the double-quid ;o the relief of De Gress’ battery, which was attached to Blair’s Seven--.eenth corps.' But unfortunately we lid not arrive in time. Perhaps one hour after the De Gress episode we were ordered to rendezvous at a certain place. We had jusi got in line, when we<saw something unusual was about to occur: Soon we saw mounted men coming along the front. It was the famous ride of Gen. John Logan, and his introduction to the soldiers as the commander of the Army of the Tennessee, to take the place of Gen McPherson, who had been killed earlier in the day. Gen. Logan, mounted upon a large black horse, with his aids and orderlies, carried his hat in his hand, with his long, black hair streaming .in the breeze, rode as fast as his horse could go. His reception was a noisy one, | and the animation of the thousands j of soldiers who believed in the valor of Logan was a scene never to be forgotten. How He Reasoned It Out. A raw recruit placed on guard over a cannon was found in a shelter some distance off by the officer. “How dare you leave your pest?” was the stern rebuke. "It’s of no consequence at all, at all, plaze yer honor,” said the man. “There’s no two min, could lift the gun between them, much less carry it off, an’ if there was more than two I wouldn’t be at match for thlm, so 1 kem away.”

WHY MAN EXCELS AT GOLF Woman Lacks the Active Physical Training Which Her Brother Gets in Boyhood. If you were asked why men plaj better golf than women your answer probably would be: because men are stronger than women. And that would be the truth, but only par:, of it. Possibly the difference in the effectiveness of the woman’s and the man’s game can, as, some people clam, be traced directly to the length of the shot, but the more one investigates the more he is led to qualify this conclusion. It becomes, on the whole, less reasonable to credit solely to muscular advantage the eight 1o nine strokes which, roughly, measure the handicap due from a man to a woman, In other words, if a man and a woman should happen to have an equal supply of strength and endurance, it seems that the man would turn out to I be the better golfer. That is the quesj tion. , In the - first place, men have far greater game experience. They begin to play bat and ball games at an earlier age and thereby develop more thoroughly the “feel” of clubs and the fine eye that is necessary for success in such games. There. are all sorts of games that - boys amuse themselves with from their earliest ..youth which i give them eye. And when they take : a golf club in their hands for the first ! time the essential act of concentrating j their vision on the object to be struck i is not a novelty. It is second nature. With a girl it is different. She hds | not daily played games that developed | her eye, such as marbles, “scrub,” hockey, snowballing and target pracI tice, games that are the constant avo- ! cations of bipeds who practice the . profession of being boys. Anti yet one | of the greatest of women golfers as--1 sures me that women have shown in tournaments more concentration of the eye than men and that only last fall this fact was proved. It appears that a computation was made both at the men’s championship and the, women’s which proved that the women missed their drives less often than the men.—Charles Alden Seltzer in the Outing Magazine. Was Full of Courage. When the policeman made a sudden dash everybody on the street turned to look, for the policeman was fat and of that peculiar dignity of contour not associated With haste. As the officer made his way toward the horse watering trough which stands opposite the Hotel Lorraine, on Broad street, at Ridge avenue, it was observed that | the trough was occupied not only by water, but also by an intoxicated individual, w’hose emotion, whether of joy or grief, expressed itself in much verbal noise. As the crowd drew’ nearer saw’ that the drunkard was wet all over and shivering, yet t.e made no attempt to get out of the water. Promptly the policeman grabbed him by the collar and began to yank. Instead of accepting this assistance,-'’ however, the man resisted, By bracing his knees against one side of the trough and his back against the other •e managed to keep himself under water up to his neck., “Never mind me,” he cried be tw’een gasps. “Never mind me!. Save the women and children first!” Life Preserver Same as Life Belt. “Anything is a life-preserver that preserves life,” said the dyspepticlooking individual at a marine supplies store. “This, for instance, might come under such a head at times,” and he pulled a bottle of pills out of his pocket and took one. “There is no difference between a life-belt and a lifepreserver.” ' , , A visit to this shop and -several others show’ed that- the dyspeptic w r as right. Landsmen generally call it a life-preserver and seamen a life-belt, but in both cases is meant the familiar wide belt of canvas filled with slabs of cork running vertically. The life buoy, or life ring is, however, entirely different. It is a ring generally of cork, but sometimes of straw, covered with canvas and supplied with a rope running around it. W’hen it is thrown to a person in the w’ater he gets a grip on this rope and keeps himself afloat till help comes. Life buoys are kept on ships and also at handy places around docks and water fronts. Sometimes they are attached to a long coil of rope so they can be pulled in after the person in the w’ater has grabbed them. A man who knows how can throw on/ of these buoys to a great distance. Adirondack Garnet Mine. The estate of F. C. Hooper, which is situated a few miles north of North river, includes two thousand acres of wooded mountain side in which is located the largest garnet mine of its kind in the country. The mountain is almost solid granite, in which are embedded garnets of various sizes, some being over a Too t in diameter. The stones are of commercial value, but not precious. After being finely crushed they are used in the manufacture of garnet paper, a fine quality of sand paper used in polishing hardwood in pianos, Pullmrn cars and automobiles. In working mine the rock is blasted out of the mountain and crushed, after which tlie particles are washed through a flume in which the garnet, having greater specific gravity, sinks to the bottom. After several processes of crushing have been completed the garnet, which has become as fine as sand, is pus into 140-pound bags and shipped to the paper manu- ! facturers. The granite rock, which is all waste, amounts to 400 tons a day. .—Adirondack Enterprise. t#.; A Greek blame. Greek may have gone out of fashion, but Greeks have not.

UffEDNATIONAL SUNWSffIOOL Lesson [By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department. The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 2 HYPOCRISY AND SINCERITY. . GOLDEN TEXT—“Take heed that you § lo not your righteousness before men, to i »e seen of them; else ye have no reward > vith your Father which is in Heaven.”— I Hatt. 6:1. Someone has called, attention to the , “buts” of God as recorded in the Scriptures, showing that they always lead to something good and contrasts them with those of men that are always ;he introduction to some derogatory remark. In something resembling this the words of Jesus, “Take heed,” are tremendous with import. Doing was the greatest thing in the Jewish religion that Jesus came to set aside when he established his new kingdom. It is easy for a man to try to do for himself in to merit God’s favor. It is hard to let God do for us and we to accept his finished work. In Ibis lesson there is one inclusive w’ord and three illustrations. This word is the word “righteousness” substituted in the Revised Version for the word “alms” in verse one. The three lines of application or illustrations used are, first, that we shall make our righteousness secure by so doing our alms as not to be seen of men; second, that in the saying of our prayers we shall not, like the hyprocrites, desire to be seen of men, and third, that in the keeping of our fasts and our vigils we do them, not, as do hyprocrites, that the multitudes may observe and comment thereon. In another lesson upon this mani- ! festo of Jesus we studied the subject of the law and 'in It he summarized it all by telling us that except our righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of these Scribes and Pharisees, w’hom John the Baptist .designated as a generation of vipers—hypocrites, we shall In no wise enter into this new kingdom which Jesus came to establish. Righteousness He Demands. In the lesson Jesus shows us the difference between their righteousness and the righteousness which he is demanding of the subject of his kingdom. He demands that our righteousness shall seek its approval not from nor among men but. of God. The motive must govern is the glory, not of man but of God, not man’s approval but the approval of God. In verse two the word “alms” ts, retained and hence the first illustration has to do with our “doing of alms” i. e., our relations to- men about ns, our right-ness. The doing of tilms has no fundamental connection with any question of.honesty between man i and man. -The doing of alms accord- j Ing to the strict interpretation of civil law is no part of duty. There is no reason why the business man should give away his earnings provided he is just in his dealings and does not de- . fraud in his transactions. Yet we do : see men making great gifts and bene- ! factions to the cause of philanthropy. : Why? Jesus lays bare the j when he says, “that- they may have | the'glory of men.” Next Jesus takes up the subject of | prayer. Again our attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of prayer has but little to do with our relations to men. True it is these relations must be right, before w’e can come to God acceptably but prayer is to be directed to God and not to man. Apart from our belief in God, why should we pray? Commercial or other inter-rela-tionships do not require prayer, w’hy then pray? The keen blade of Jesus’ logic again -reveals the innermost secret, “that they may be seen of men,” and such an idea of righteousness is repugnant in the kingdom of Jesus. We now copie to the third illustration, the keeping of fasts. Fasting does not and never has appealed to the natural man. Naturally it is repugnant and distasteful and yet we see men making a show of fasting and Imposing like burden upon others, why? “That they may be seen of men.” Is there, then, no place for, nor ministry in fasting? Certainly there is. True fasting, however, con- ; slsts in foregoing and abstaining for ! the “glory of God.” God the Final Judge. It is a sad fact that much of our len- j ten fasting and of our abstemiousness. ] upon Fridays is that it shall be seen of men and not because of any real appreciation of the underlying need or sense of the principles of fasting. This lesson is a great warning that if. w’e condition our righteousness upon the approval of man it will have no reward whatever of God. The ostentatious or unctions display of philanthropy will receive its rew’ard from men and weighs naught. In so doing we are but selfishly seeking to exalt and tftis is always antagonistic to God who is properly jealous of the glory which is rightfully his. Our exaltation should be of God, not from man. If our prayers are but external forms repeated to make an impression upon men, like that one said to be “the fittest prayer ever offered to a Boston audience,” we need expect no answering reply from the i throne on high. If. our fasting is pa- > raded Before men as an outward show’ ] to create in the minds of men a false estimate of our spiritual lives, we must look to men for our reward and not to God for it has no merit that will avail with him. How the honest heart of mankind, rebels at the suggestion of affected ftiety for personal, material, gain or advantage. Hypocrisy is, however, subtle. For one to appear friendly and then 1 * to talk about or to abuse another’s hypocrisy is to live the lie.
