it seems so much like home.
All peace lovers, advises the Chris
tian Register, should cultivate the ad
mirable qualities of tin; soldier who
endures hardness as a matter of
course, because it is in the line of
duty.
Only'sl guns were fired for the Hol
land heir, because it was a girl,
whereas a boy would have been
greeted with 101. Perhaps, ventures
the New York American, the Holland
ers expect a girl to even up on noise
when she reaches the talking age.
Maybe, after all, sighs the New Ha
ven Register, this serious recommend
ation of cannibalism is only a trick
of tiie vegetarians, aided and abetted
by the breakfast food people. Inci
dentally, if it should succeed on its
own basis, what a blow it would be to
the beef trust.
Many millions of capital are invest
ed in manufacturing the apparatus
for soda fountains. The product of
these fountains is imbibed by the
whole nation. It would be of public
Interest, avers the New York Times,
to learn whether the medical special
ists condemn as "stomach-killing” so
da water that is free of adulterants.
Asa laborer, opines the Mexican
Herald, the Japanese has ceased to
figure in the future of Mexican indus
try. It is believed the policy of the
Japanese government, announced
eopie time ago, of forbidding the emi
gration of the laborer of that country
to Mexico will be continued for many
years to come and that the adminis
tration of the policy will be such as
to render the embargo absolutely, ef
fective.
Tho Chinese nre as c®urageous as
any people on earth, announces tho
Troy Budget. They have less fear of
death than any people of the west,
because their religion, teaches them
that birth Is more to be deplored
than death. They can raise an army
live times as great as any country of
Europe or American can. The nations
of Europe and America have insisted
on the Chinese waking up and learn
ing the arts of war. \\ hat will the
sequel be?
Separate schools for tubercular
children may be established in Phila
delphia in t lit' near future, declares
the Medical Journal. The new school
code specifically prescribes that chil
dren suffering from tuberculosis can
not be admitted into the public
schools and at tho same time pro
vides for the compulsory attendance
of all children between the ages of
six and 1G years. It is the opinion of
the educational officials that the only
solution of the problem is to set aside
\pecial schools for the use of the tub
ercular pupils.
The great change in British foreign
policy after the Boer war began with
the offensive and defensive alliance
with Japan, and then followed in ra
pid succession the various ententes
between Great Britain and France and
Russia, this movement going so far
finally that the Germans complained
that the British policy was to isolate
the German empire in Europe. The
importance of this radical change in
British foreign policy cannot be over
estimated in many ways, but in noting
its effects one cannot ignore in the
least the influence of the new alli
ances upon the question of the British
army, insists the Springfield Republi
can. Sir Edward Grey in a recent
speech declared that an attempt by
“any great continental power to dom
inate and dictate the policy of the
continent" would "certainly produce
conflict" in which his own country
would actively participate*. And this
declaration, of course, distinctly re
vives the old British policy toward
Louis XIV. and the first Napoleon,
whose efforts to dominate Europe
were regarded as dangerous to Eng
land's national safety.
BLERIOTMAKESHIBTORY'
Crewses English Channel in His
Airship in a Few Minutes.
FROM CALAIS TO DOVER
Machine Was Followed By French Tor
pedo Boat, But the Latter Was
Left Far Behind.
Dover, England.—A calm French
man, Louis Hleriot, a portly and red
must ached man of 37, descended from
the saddle of his aeroplane, limping
on a bandaged foot which had been
burned on bis previous overland flight
—the first person to fly across the
English channel.
lie left Calais at 4:35 Sunday morn
ing after several trial flights and made
the distance in a little less than half
an hour. I (is machine is one of the
smallest ever used.
This sleepy seaport town experienc
ed the keenest/thrill known in a gen
eration when at sunrise a white-wing
ed bird-like machine with louf.ly hum
ming motor swept out from the haze
obscuring the sea toward the distant
French coast and circling twice above
the high chalky cliffs of Dover, alight
ed on English soil.
Ily his achievement Blcrjot won the
prize of $5,000 offered by the London
Daily Mail for the first flight across
tiie Englisjh channel and stole a march
on his rivals, Herbert Latham and
Count de Lambert, both of whom had
hoped to make the first successful
trip.
Hleriot, who speaks a little English,
described his remarkable flight very
modestly.
"1 arose at 3 o’clock,” he said, “and
went to the aeroplane shed. Finding
everything in order on the trial spin,
1 (1< eided to make tHe flight. The
French torpedo boat, destroyer which
was in attendance was signalled and
it put out about four miles. Then I
rose in the air and pointed directly
to Dover. After ten minutes I was
out of sight of land and had left the
warship well behind. For a few min
utes I could not see either coast, nor
any boat.
"I tried to keep at an average
height of 250 feet. I might easily
have gone higher, but it would have
•served no purpose. This was about
the right height, I thought, to clear
the Dover cliffs safely.
"The machine dipped toward the
water several times. 1 put on moi;e
petrol once. I estimated that the
propellers were going from 1,200 to
1,400 revolutions a minute.
“The first objects I saw were ships
off the English coast, then I observed
Deal, and l discovered that the wind,
which was southwest, was carrying
me thither. I veered to the southward
to Dover Castle and then saw friends
flourishing a flag in a valley suitable
for landing. I made two circles while
lessening the speed, and then dived
down, but I came in contact with the
ground sooner than J expected. Both
the machine and myself were badly
shaken up.
"A few persons quickly assembled,
and l was. helped out, as my injured
foot was painful. I am exceedingly
glad to be here.”
PLAGUE ATTACKS MAN AND BEAST.
Thousands of Animals Die From
Charbon.
Lake Charles, La.—Charbon, a
deadly and loathsome disease which
afflicts cattle and which . has killed
thousands of valuable animals' in Lou
isiana, lias attacked human beings
now and many men are under treat
ment. In Leesburg, the county seat
of Cameron parish, eight humans
have been stricken. Up to date, no
deaths have resulted.
Charbon has afflicted cattle for cen
turies, but lias seldom visited this
country. It, was known to the an
cients in Egypt and often scourged
the Asiatic and Oriental countries. It
is caused by a germ which enters the
animal's skin through an abrasion.
It multiplies and causes an inflamma
tion which turns into a tumorous or
cancerous growth which terminates in
blood poisoning.
The disease first made its appear
ance about June 1, in two localities in
southeast Louisiana, along the Mer
mentan river, near Lake Arthur, and
at lowa, near Lake Charles. It was
not detected in time and spread rap
idly over neighboring parishes. Germs
from the dead cattle infested the
ground upon which the animals had
died and were thus communicated to
other victims. The United States gov
ernment. alarmed by the inroads the
disease has made, has sent an expert
from the bureau of animal industry
to assist local veterinarians in fight
ing the plague. They are urging cre
mation of infected animals and the
vaccination of all others. Once an
animal is infected, there is no known
remedy, but vaccination seems effect
ive ill making them immune.

From Omaha, Net)., it is reported
that in an effort to break the price
of wheat in the Chicago market, a
clique of speculators is buying up
every bushel of wheat as it leaves
the thresher and is paying a bonus of
four cents a bushel. Omaha cash buy

and practically unlimited orders have
been placed, for immediate delivery.
The wheat harvest is in full swing in
Nebraska and threshing is general.
There was a rumor among men of
the Atlantic battleship fleet off Nor
folk, Va., that typhoid fever is preval
ent. aboard the Wisconsin and that
cases are reported aboard other ships
of the fleet. Just how many cases
were on the Wisconsin was not given
out, but the conditions are said to be
serious enough to warrant some im
mediate action -on the part of the
ship’s officers; accordingly the bum
boatmen who have been supplying
ice cream to the sailors are warned

misunderstanding of signals that caus
ed the collision. The tug crashed into
the Stevens on her starboard side,
staving an enormous hole in her
wooden hull from the upper deck to
below the water line. The Stevens
wavered and began to fill, in a few
minutes she went down just as her
boilers blew up with an explosion that
was heard on Staten Island.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM
MENTS FOR AUGUST 1.
Subject: Close of Paul’s Second Mis
sionary Journey, Acts IS: 1-211—
Golden Text: John 1 f::>;2—Com
mit Verses !), 10—Commentary.
TIME. —A. D. 52.
PLACE.—Corinth.
EXPOSITION.—I. Paul Conduct
ing a Revival in a Synagogue at Cor
inth, l-<j. Aquila and his wife Pris
cilla became very important members
ot the church of Christ (see v. 26;
Rom. 16:3, 4; 1 Cor. 16:19; 2 Tim.
4:19). It was, apparently, a matter
of small consequence that threw Paul
in with them—“he was of the same
trade." But God uses things just
like this for the promotion of His
kingdom. It would be well if we
would make more of them for the
same purpose. Are you a merchant?
Make a point of getting hold of mer
chants for Christ. Are you a black
smith? Cultivate the blacksmiths.
An unrighteous edict of Claudius had
driven Aquila and Priscilla cut of
Rome. It doubtless seemed to them
a bitter thing, but God turned it to
their good, to no less a good than
their eternal salvation (cf. Ps. 76:
10). There are men to-day who
think it wrong, “a lack of faith,” to
do manual labor or any secular work
for their own support or that of their
families, because God has “called”
them to preach. If there was ever a
man about whose call to preach there
could lie no possible doubt, it is this
man Paul, and yet he wrought with
his hands (cf. ch. 20:3 4, 35). He
got right down to honest toil, and set
a wholesome example for the churdh
and for us (1 Cor. 9:6-12; 2 Thess.
3:8, 9; 1 Thess. 2:9). We need
many Pauls to-day, men so on fire
with the Gospel and love for souls
that they will not wait for someone
to promise them support before they
will preach, but, if need be, su]>
port themselves. Paul preached,
too, while he worked. To an
audience of two; a small audience,
but how those quiet meetings
counted for eternity. Probably he
got pretty tired during the week, but
every Sabbath found him at his post.
Note a very expressive statement in
the R. V., “Paul was constrained by
the word.” Paul had meditated upon
the Word of God until it had so got
ten hold of him that he could not
keep still (cf. Jer. 20:9; Acts 4:20).
It impelled him on. It showed him
and overpowered him with the
thought that Jesus was the Christ,
and he must tell it out. But the Jews
were not willing to receive Paul’s tes
timony. “They opposed themselves
and blasphemed.” The most faithful
testimony will often he received in
that way. That does not prove it un
true, or that it has been unwisely
put. It simply shows the thorough
going badness of the hearts of even
religious men. But Paul’s testimony
was not in vain, after all. A large
and singularly gifted church grew up
in Corinth. Paul, in the face of all
their opposition and rejection, could
say, “I am clean.” It is a gfeat thing
for any man to be able to say that.
We can only say that we are “clean
from the blood of all men” (Acts 20:
26), when we can say, as Paul does
in the next verse, “.For I shrank not
from declaring unto you the whole
counsel of God” (R. V.).
IT. Paul Conducting a Revival in
the Home of Justus, Corinth, 7-11.
Paul’s labors bore abundant fruit.
Even the ruler of the synagogue re
ceived the truth and with him his
whole house. Many others believed
also, and openly confessed their faith
in baptism. The order of experience
as given in verse 8 is suggestive;
heard, believed, were baptized. But
still there was opposition. Indeed the
opposition doubtless increased with
Paul’s success. “Then spake the Lord
to Paul in the night.” That is just
like the Lord. Paul had had a pretty
hard time of it in Corinth, and was to
have a still harder time, and the Lord
appears and comforts him and
strengthens him*for the coming trial.
The Lord often spoke to Paul in this
way (ch. 22:18; 23:11; 27:23-25).
So He is ready to speak to us, but we
do not need visions, as Paul did, for
we have the written Word. We can
carry the voice of God around in our
vest pocket and have Him speak to
us whensoever we will. Listen to the
Lord’s message, “Be not afraid.” That
is one of God’s favorite messages.
There was to be opposition, but Paul
must throw-fear to the winds, and
speak right out the whole message of
God. The Lord gave Paul an all-suf
ficient reason for not being afraid:
“For I am with thee.” Of course,
then, Paul couldn’t be afraid. All
Corinth was no match for Christ. It
is no use telling a man not to be
afraid unless you give him some rea
son for fearlessness. But here is an
all-sufficient reason and every child
of God who is obeying Christ and go
ing out to do His work, has the same
reason (Matt. 25:19, 20; comp. Josh.
1:5, 9; Isa. 41 :10; 43:1. 2). Paul
was to “speak” in face of all opposi
tion and not hold his peace, and the
Lord Jesus tells him why: “For I
have much people in this city.” The
Lord had people there and, the Lord’s
people are called out by the spoken
Word. It was a reason, too, for no
man setting on Paul to hurt him. He
never allows us to be really hurt
(Rom. 8:31; Isa. 54:17; Jer. 15:20,
21). Corinth, with its wealth, its
luxury, its profligacy, its vileness, did
not seem much like a place where the
Lord would have much people. But
so it was. Let us take courage con
cerning our modern cities.
