7. "Were fruitful." T^iee* are five expressions in this verse joined together to give emphasis to the fact that there was a remarkable increase of the Israelites, beyond all ordinary ealcalstion*. One original word implies that they increased like fishes, or insects. From the call of Abraham at Haran to their deliverance from Egypt wa* 430 years. During the first 215 year* they had increaaed to only seventy souls, hut during the latter half of ihe time, while they were tn Ecypt, they increased to over 800.000 fighting men, betides women and children. And this prosperity came notwithstanding the great perseention* to which they were subjected. It is thus clearly shown that the blesaing of God it the great secret of true proeperity. "The land." Of Goshen. "Was filled." When the women and children are taken into account it will be seen that there must have been a great host. A conservative estimate has placed tbe bub-

CRAZY CRQCKER’a DREAM. ■ ts Prediction of a Transcontlnontal Railroad lUdlenlsd. The National Magazine has an InteresUng article on the development of American railroad systems, by E. E. Clark, grand chief conductor of ths Order of Railroad Conductors. When the late “Charne Crocker ot Central Pacific railway fame, crossing the plains In the forties was by oxteam over the old emigrant trail from Council Bluffs to San Frandaco, he frequently predicted that within a comparatively few years s steam railroad would be running across the continent, following substantially the same course traveled by them. His prediction was considered so absurd by his associates that he was nlckaamed "Crazy Crocker.” Mr. Crocker had the satisfaction of not only seeing his prediction come true, but of being one of the lending spirits In the construction ot the first transcontinental railroad? Since Mr. Crocker’s dream was realized and the first transcontinental

Salutes are a mere conventionality alongside this cheerful ‘God speed you' of the lightship. It reminds one of the hearty handshake of a big hearted man when one's luck has been on the ebb. ‘The formal whistles of the myriad of consequential tugs that were met on the way out, the acre of white linen that whipped the air at the pier end as wa backed Into the stream, the tooting of the dodging ferry boats and ths acreachlng of the small fry going seaward through the winding channels, are one and all remembered when we turn In for the night, but forgotten when we turn out the next morning for a roll with old Neptune and coffee with shipmates.
