A writer In Casaier's Magazine makes the point that one great secret of American success In manufacturing Is that processes with us are especlallsed. In the old world a single concern will make locomotives and the lightest machinery, for Instance. In the same factory, whereas the American system is to handle only one class of products In one plant. Everything is specialized toward this end and the re-

sult la greater economy.

In a Massachusetu library a recor:>

was kept of the books taken out by boys and girls, and then r. statement was made to see what reading they preferred. About half of the books chosen were fairy stories, which were read by both girls and boys; a quarter of the whole number came under the head of “history." meaning, it is explained. histories relating to the ^American - Revolution and Civil War; and next In number were works of ad-

venture- and travel. ' One thing the Pan-Amcrlcan move-

our preaching. There are so many books on homiletics scattered through the world that all daymen, aa well as all clergymen, hare made up their minds what sermons ought to be. That sermon is most effectual which most pointedly puts forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and the correction of aH evil, individual, social, political. national. -There is no reason why we should riturthe endless chances on a few phraaes. Thera are those who think that if an exhortation or a discourse have frequent mention of justification; sanctification, covenant of works and covenant of grace, therefore it most be profoundly evangelical, while they are suspicious of a discourse which presents the same truth, but under different phraseology. Now, 1 say there is nothing in all the opulent realm of Anglo-Saxonism or all the word treasures that wc inherited from the Latin and the Greek and the Indo-European, buf we have a right to marshal it in religions discussion.

Since the church could not be oreanixed or the full gospel preached till after the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Of course, it is known that moderate changes of pressure, such ax occur in water passing through a pumping engine. for instance, are survived by bacteria with little or no Injury- It docs not follow, however, that higher pressures might not prove fatal to these organisms. The human body, for example, endures with little difficulty an Increase In atmospheric pressure to 10 to 20 pounds. As the pressure Increases Injury begins. a snd a limit lx soon reached beyond* which one cannot go and survive. Similarly fish and plants In the ocean are known to be sensitive to the pressure at great depths. To Investigate the effect of pressure on bacteria an apparatus was devised which Is remarkable for having 'produced what lx probably the greatest hydrostatic pressure over reached, over 450.000 pounds per square Inch. The particular object of these experimcPts was to determine whether the bacteria In milk might not be killed by hydrostatic pressure, so that It would keep a longer time without souring. Moderate pressures were first tried, but appeared to have no effect The pressures were then Increased and notable results were obtained. Milk subjected to pressures of 70 to 100 tons kept from 24 to 60 hours longer without souring than untreated milk. The degree t lualltles of ml! pearod to depend as much on the time for which the pressure was maintained as upon the actual pressure reached. Pressures of 90 tons per square Inch maintained for an hour delavcd tho souring of milk from four to tlx days.
