USED SHARK POWER

Man Rigged Up Boat With Small Engine That Could Go. Won First Place in Race—Everything Lovely Till Inquisitive Swimmer Dived Beneath Crafi and Made Discovery. Newbern, N. C.—George Arthur, a fisherman, in the neighborhood of Adams creek near Neuse river, 35 miles from this city, caught in one of his nets a large shark. He penned It in a pool which he made for the purpose, and after exhibiting it there for a month or more it suddenly vanished. Arthur told the inquirers that he had taken pity on the “varmint” ind returned it to its native waters. About this time purchased a “long. low, rakish” Skiff, explaining to Ms friends that he intended placing tn engine in it and making a racing boat out of it. For several weeks he devoted many hours a day to remodeling & placing a two-horse power engihPin it. At last he anaounced that the 'boat was in readiaess for any and all comers, and offered to bet that he would win. Several men who thought they had fast boats inspected and laughed at his But ho said it was of a new and powerful. type and that anyway he’d back it to win. So they ararnged a race. There w'ere six contestants, and among the number were some exeeedingly fast boats. Arthur was askad to give a trial exhibition of his engine’s ability, but he refused. He said they could see it work the day of the race. On the appointed day several hundred people lined the river! bank. The course was about five I miles. The boats were lined up for the start and at the crack of a pistol off they went. So faint was the exhaust of Arthur’s new engine that it could scarcely be heard, and within the first 100 yards he was left far behind the other racers. However, things had only begun to happen. Arthur was seen to settle back in the steerman’s and push a small lever. Immediately the little boat sprang forward. Faster and faster it cut through the water. Passing the ether boats and their startled crews. It sped on toward the goal and arrived several minutes ahead of its nearest competitor. That the little engine was the real thing was no longer doubted, and the owner received many offers to purchase. but declined them all. After that Arthur was frequently seen on the river with his craft cutting through the water at *a terrific rate. Recently a party of picnickers visited the place, and during the day hired Arthur to take them for a trip •a the river. They, too, were amazed at the boat’s speed. One of the more Inquisitive decided that there was something not entirely on the level about the engine. Arriving at a desirable point, a suggestion that the party go in swimming was made, and soon several of the young men were tn the water. Suddenly one of them dived beneath the boat and when he arose to the surface lost no time in scrambling back into the craft. He said he had seen a shark just beneath the boat. Arthur became greatly agitated at this point and suggested that they ■save at once, but the other members of the party resolved to see whether their companion was fooling them. Seizing an oar, one of the young men Jabbed it into the water beneath the craft, and, sure enough, found the shark. They were going to kill or catch it, when Arthur told them that the fish was in a wire cage beneath the vessel and that he used it for motor power. Further investigation proved it to be true. After catching the big fish Arthur

SEEKS HER HUSBAND AT 100 Kittitas Squaw Dresses in Finery to Woo Bach Deserting Spouse— Met Him 80 Years Ago. Spokane, Wash. —A tale of the loyalty of an Indian squaw comes from Eilenburg, where “Old Julia” Hansen, as the whites know her, has donned her finery at 100 and is endeavoring to woo back the husband who has deserted her. She has attracted much attention on the streets as day by day she has sought the runaway. He has not returned to her yet, but she believes that his old love will be reawakened in time. Julia is the last of the chieftainesses of the Sockley tribe of Kittitas Indians. She and her sisters have been well known to the white settlers since the region was first invaded. The three of them once owned more than 1,000 horses and much land, but the property was largely dissipated by the husbands, who were unable to withstand white temptations. These derelictions, however, did not shake the loyalty of the squaws. Old Nancy, another of the sisters, for years led her blind husband about with every evidence of devotion, so that they become known as the Darby and Joan of Kittitas Valley. Julia met her husband more than eighty years ago at one of the great councils of the Kittitas tribe.

FIVE HAVE UNIQUE MALADY

Children Are Helpless From an Unusual Disease —Doctors Call It Frederick’s Maxia. Lynchburg, Va. —With the death and burial a day or so ago of C. C. Mitchell, in Bedford county, is brought to light a remarkable and wholesale case of affliction. He is survived by his wife and five children. All of these children, who range in age from about 12 to over 20 years, are afflicted in the most unusual and remarkable manner with a disease known as Frederick’s ataxia, which renders them almost helpless, without power to perform any service for themselves, unable to speak intelligently, yet they are not without intelligence. With the intuition of a mother’s devotion she has trained their memories in a remarkable degree, teaching them to repeat in jargon that she alone can understand, hymns, selections from the Bible and simple poems. Mitchell and his wife were very poor and some years since the small farm they had bought, but upon which they had not been able to make the payments, had to be sold. The case seemed so unutterably pitiable that through the newspapers the story was told and help asked. To the appeal there was quick and generous response from many parts of the United States and even from Central America. Funds sufficient were thus secured to make full payment for the farm. With debt removed Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell made a comfortable support from the farm for themselves and their helpless brood of children. Cases of this disease are very rare and attract much Interest among medical men. One of the children was sent when quite young to the Johns Hopkins hospital, of Baltimore, for examination and the case was pronounced hopeless of any amelioration. One of the girls, who seemed less helpless than the others, was sent to Richmond to Dr. Allison Hodges and he exhibited her before

TO ELECTRIFY A SCHOOLROOM New York Board of Education Will Try Swedish Scheme to Get Extraordinary Results. New York.—The New York board of education is expected to authorize a trial this fall of a Swedish scheme for electrifying a schoolroom and thereby producing extraordinary results from the pupils. The expert' ment, which hast met with some Sue cess in Stockholm, will be tried on a room in which a class of defective pupils Is being taught. The cost for a year’s trial will be less than SIO,OOO. The electrificator consists of a se ries of wires in the walls of the class room. These wires will be charged with high frequency currents. The plan will be to have two classrooms as nearly alike as possible, one electrified and the other not, each to have the same number of pupils. At the end of a certain period comparisons will be made between the pupils in the electrified room and those in the room not electrified.

Hillsboro, Cal. —A weird story to the effect that a real live sea lion had found its way from the ocean beach to Uplands, the Hillsboro home oi Charles Templeton Crocker, has been going the rounds In San Mateo county. Up till the other night the report was received with considerable skep ticism, albeit many motorists are said to have steered clear of the Crocker gateway, at which the new “watchdog” was supposed to have installed himself. The monster of the deep may have departed for regions where there 18 more congenial society than that ol Hillsboro millionaires, but that he was there in spirit and in truth, even if more in spirit than in truth, is no longer doubted. What greater confirmation of the report is needed than that he was alleged to have been seen by members of a jovial stag party returning io the cold, gray dawn from a midnight revel at a polo club?

An Indian judge, when first appointed to his position, was not well acquainted with Hindustani. He was trying, a case in which a Hindu was charged with stealing a nilghal. The judge did not like to betray his ignorance of what a nilghal was, so he said: “Produce the stolen property.” The court was held in an upper room, so the usher gasped: “Please, your lordship, it’s downstairs.” “Then bring it up instantly!” sternv ordered the judge. The official departed, and a minute later a loud bumping was heard, mingled with loud and earnest exhortations. Nearer came the noise, the door was pushed open, and the panting official appeared dragging in the blue bull. The judge was dumbfounded, but only for an instant. "Ah! That will do,” said he. “It is always best, when possible, for the judge personally to inspect the stolen property.

FARM BOY SHOWS HS NERVE Country Lad in Kansas City Displays Courage by Removing TightFitting Shoes in Street. Plainly he was from the country. It was equally plain that the sights of the city streets fascinated him Neither was there any doubt that his city oxfords hurt bis feet. He was a stalwart specimen of farm youth and good to look at, though he wasn’t ex actly comfortable. He trudged bravely along, but the close observer could see that his limp was becoming mo mentarily more noticeable. Occasion ally he looked at his new tan shoes, gritted his teeth and ploughed ahead through the Main street crowd. Ths look of desperation had become set is his face by the time he reached Tenth and Main. He paused there, took another lingering look at the crowd and then with a “You be durned” expression upon his suntanned countenance sat down on the curb. Off came one shoe and then another. He placed them carefully upon the sidewalk be side him, removed his green socks and dabbled his feet in a diminutive pool left by the street sprinklers. “Those shoes just had to come off,’ said a business man who passed just then. “It wasn’t so many years ago that I was in just that fix—but I didn’t have the nerve to take ’em off.”—Kan sas City Journal.

Denial of Christ’s Resurrection and Its Results By Rev. William Evans, D. D. Director Bible Course of Moody Bible Institute Qpcaso TEXT—I Cor. 15:14-18, 29-32: “And if Christ be not risen then Is our preaching vain, and your faith Is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ; whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For If the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised; and If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your slnse.—l Cor. 15:14-18, 29-32. VI. If the Apostle is indeed a 'False Witness, the Greater of the New Testament,

With All Its Revelation of God and Christ and the Future Life, Is Utterly Unreliable. Just think oi what this means. The revelation con tained in fourteen out es the twenty seven books of the New Testament cannot then be relied upon. Romans and Galatians with their great doctrines of Justification by Faith;

Wks:?mbl

Ephesians, Phllippians and Colossians, and possibly Hebrews, with their great doctrinal discussions on the person and work of the Redeemer; the Epistles to the Corinthians, together with the pastoral Epistles to Timothy and Titus pregnant with their teaching regarding the church; the Thessalonians with their comforting doctrine of the future life of blessedness for the saints —all these books which have been the cause, inspiration and power of the finest moral achievements of the ages; the truths revealed in these books which have been courage to the living and strength to the dying, these writings are not to be depended upon, they are not what they profess to be; they are vain, empty, delusive. Is this credible? But this is the result of denying the resurrection of Jesus Christ If God, who supposedly spoke through the writers of both the Old and New Testaments is a party to a false witness; if the apostles themselves have been a party to this false witness — then, also, we have no Bible at all; we have no revelation of the mind and will of God. Some may say that this Is offering a harsh alternative instead of an argument. But does not our text warrant such an alternative? 2. Christianity is Barren in its Results. (a) “Ye are yet in your sins.” ’ It is here acknowledged that Christ alone can save from sins, but if he could not save himself from sin’s power, how can he save the sons of men from its guilt and dominion? Christ himself distinctly taught that his death had redemptive value, and that his resurrection from the dead would be proof positive of this fact. The apostle' Paul, also, says that “Christ died for our sins, and was raised again for our justification” (Rom. 4:25). But if Christ himself is still under the power of death, which is the wages of sin, how then can he release others from the payment of that debt? Then his death had no redemptive value. If Chris’t remained In the grave, then humanity has no redeemer, man has no Saviour; the guilt and power of sin has not been removed, men are not pardoned, sinners are not justified, the sinning and sinful raee is still under the guilt and condemnation of sin and exposed to the just wrath of a righteous God against sin and sinners. Then freedom from condemnation is unreal, the sense of forgiveness is a sham, and the consciousness of pardon for si ' is the greatest delusion. Then Christ’s death has wrought only imaginary changes, and deluded its most faithful adherents. (b) Then Christianity has no incentive power to a life of self-denial and godliness. It has no power for immortality. “And if Christ hath not been raised . % then they also that are fallen .sleep in Christ have perished.” This is not an appeal to mere sentiment, but a statement with regard to a most harrowing fact. The care of the Corinthians for their dead was characterized by the greatest tenderness. They had laid their loved ones, small and great, big and little, beneath the ground with the hope of meeting them again in the world beyond. Indeed, those who had fallen asleep in Christ had themselves cherished this hope of a glorious immortality. They had surrendered all to Christ in this life that they might have communion with him here, and fellowship with him in the life to come. They had lived as pilgrims and strangers; they had denied themselves to fleshly lusts and worldly pleasures; they had not resigned themselves to the dreams of earthly joys as others, nor had they given themselves over to the enjoyment of sinful pleasures; they had not bowed the knee to the god of this world for riches or earthly emolument; they had borne life’s load uncomplainingly, and had endured all manner of suffering for righteousness sake; they had lived sacrificial lives —and all this in happy expectation of a glorious awakening in a future life of bliss. But, ah, what fools they had been; for if Christ be not risen, they perished moment they died; when the spirit left the body they ceased to be, they suffered dead loss. All that they had in Christ In this life was a hope—a delusive, vain, empty hope, and at the moment of death they found out that all their hope of a future life was but a delusion. They died, their loved ones died, your loved ones, your father and mother, whose memory today is sacred and fragrant with the memory of a great hope—these all died as a dog dies, they have perished, they are no more you have seen them for the last time. They, and you, too, hope to meet again; but no, your hope was but a delusion —they have per-’ Ished, and so will you—ls Christ be not risen from the dead.

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING French Motor Car Is Driven In the Same Manner as an Aeroplane. A successful trial run was made recently from Paris to London, about 320 miles, by a motor car driven by a revolving wing, the Paris Figaro states. The vehicle, which was designed by M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called .the “winged car,” has the appearance lof an ordinary motor car, save that jin front it is shaped like the prow of la ship. From the extremity of the jprow extends a shaft to which is afc tached the propeller—or revolving wing—invented by M. Filippi. The wing is small, strong and thick and revolves with a protecting cage. The engine is of 40 horse power and rotates the wing by shaft and chain transmission. ■ There is no other mechanism, the wheels of the car being free, except for footbrakes. By the side of the driver is a single lever which controls the clutch and the forward and reverse movement of the wing. The wing can be reversed at a moment’* notice, thereby forming an additional brake. In the trial runs a speed of 62 miles an hour was obtained with 2,100 revolutions of the wing a minute. One carious feature was that the car made no dust. A Word to the Wise. I The proverbial advice, “Cobbler, stick to your last,” had an apposite ip the following anecdote, for which Zion’s Advocate is responsible: 5 A colored man was brought before a police judge, charged with stealing chickens. He pleaded guilty, and received sentence, when the judge asked how it was managed to lift those chickens right under the window of their owner’s house w r hen there was a dog in the yard. j “Hit wouldn’t be of no use, judge,” said the culprit, “to try to ’splain die thing to you all. Es you was to try x it, like as not you would git yer hide full o’ shot, an’ git no chickens, neither. Es you want to engage in any rascality, judge, yo’ bettah stick to de bench, whar yo’ am familiar.” The Cannibals Need Food. An officer of the French colonial army brought a letter from the chief of a group of missionaries in tho southern islands of the Pacific not long ago, which winds up as follows: “I regret to tell you that, l our littlo company can do little against the far naticlsm of these poor wretches. Moreover, famine is ravaging the country, for the harvest has been destroyed, therefore the dispatch of more miesionaries has become urgent.”—La Petite Republique. , Where He Balked. I “She has a terrible time with her husband.” j “Yes, she is driving him to drink.” | “Nonsense! If she was driving him to drink things would be different; she’s trying to drive him the other way.” ’ And many a girl who starts out with the intention of making a name for herself winds up by turning the job over to some man.
