He entered upon his duties at Bethany Chnrch early In 1800. and commenced what is perhaps the most remarkable experience of any American church along the evangelistic lines. In less tbsn-tbree years there were added to the chnrch membership 1100 sonls on confession of their faith, more than

half of tbelb being men.

Emil Levy says: "Those have heard Dr. Chapman are at one In the Am favorable impression they receive from bis open, franh and earnest manner of address. He never descends to the level of cheap witticisms or offensive sarcasms, or a desire •ip make them feel good and laugh.’ He Is always earnest and reverent In the treatment of the truth, and he presents It with a clearness of thought and a wealth of iUnstratloa which enlists the attention of bis bearers and- holds It from start to Anlsh. After a cotol estimate of his powers It might be safely said that he is never more forceful thsn at the afternoon meetings, which are largely for the bene At of Christians, calculated to deepen their spiritual lives and make them altogether ‘selfsurrendered' to God."

TELEGRAPHY MADE EASY. Scliam* by Which Anyone May Seed ■ Melons* Over the Wire. Martin Armstrong, a station agent on the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe railway. Is the Inventor of a device by which any one can send a telegraphic message over the wire without the least knowledge of the art. The instrument Is primarily designed for the purpose of teaching telegraphy and by Its* use any one can master the secret of the dots and dashes without trobule. But it has other advantages, for a railroad conductor equipped wlpi one of these could in case of accident communicate

ters of the alphabet and sufficient ability to compose a message. The outflt. which can lie carried In the hand. consUts of a sounder key. such as Is used In all telegraphic work, a small dray battory, a transmitter, stylus and the wires that connect the various parts. It/ is the transmitter that Is the wonderful thing about the whole apparatus. This is simply a piece of wood about 1 Inch long and eight wide. Extending along one side of the board are all the letters of the alphabet folowed by the numerals 1 to 0, and the punctuation characters. Under each one of these characters there is a little hole or depression In the wood. Below these holes again there is a geometrical pattern formed by strips of metal set into the wood, with a minute groove leading from each character through the.metal strips and the wood that at intervals breaks

their continuity.

The stylus, which looks like an or dinary pencil, and all the other parts of the apparatus are connected with the battery by wires. The novice sets the apparatus on a table before him, and takes the stylus In his hand. Inserting its point In the groove running from the letter he wishes to make, he draws it toward him. As It moves the sounder clicks the letter. This is done by

rer the metal electrical con-

which is broken for longer or

shorter Intervals necessary to make a letter, by the Intervening spaces of wood between the metal strips. A few weeks erf practice on this Instrument

manner. The sounder gives him his opportunity tOjpractice this, and If he is ever In doubt as to his correctness he can verify his work by producing the letter with the
