The galleries were filled with teen, and many could : Sind no place. , The : exercises began by the olergy- ---Tt"- men's, intoning a passage of Scripture, and uttering a short exhortation. . . Then a hymn was given out, the num- ber of which hod been already placed in large metallic' letters an the Walla; the singing was entirely congrego.tfon- al, and of the most screech.er order, continuing. through some thirty verses,.

Secrets of Science. Be David Dietz. The wan shining down upon " the ocean, heats the surface. Some of the water is evaporated and. passes into the atmosphere :as nester vapor. Winds blow the -water vapor over the land, upon which it falls in the form of rain. Part of the rale soaks into the ground. The rest rune down the elope of the land forming rills in the de- pressions In the land. These unite to form larger streams. whenhe t y reach the valleys, they form still larger streams-, known as creeks and brooks when small, and rivers when large. Rivers are among 'the chief agents which wear away the land. The flowing wafer wears away the sides andbottom of tie valley through which it flows. The sediment thus formed and the sediment washed into the river by the rain, increases its power to wear away the valley since each particle of- sediment acts as 'a cuttialg tool against the river's bed. River's are the great transportation agent, The current'carrlcs along the sediment in the river. It is. estimated that the Mississippi River annually carries enough' solid material Out into the Gulf of Mexico to make a column one mile square and 268' feet high., Not all the material' which a river Carries in suspension' reaches the ocean. Streains oehieh overflow their banks, at times of the year, Such as the Nile, dep0si•t-mrich sediment upon the Intake of the river as the flood recedes. .These deposits are known as flood plains. .- Maaiy rivers, such aa• the Mississippi, deposit much material at their mouths. These deposits are known as deltas. As already noted, part of the 'rain-, Mali soaks into the ground, This un- dergrouud water is also an. important geological agent. The fact that wells can be, sunk in almost every section' of the land and the great abundance of epr}ngs Is- suing from the elopes of mountains and valleys bear testimony to the great amount of underground water. Geologists believe that it probably extends down to a depth of five or 131x miles. This makes the rock formations a sort of chemical laboratory in which certain reaotions are going on con- tinuousey. Where minerals which are soluble in water occur, they are slowly dissolved, leaving the rock in a porous condition. Other 'reactions also take purse. Water which has dissolved one miner- al will come in .contact with other rocks. Here a reaction may fano place, which causes the water to pre- cipitate or lose the .mineral which 1t has in solution. This brings abort ate; fornlationof new types of rocks. Sometimes a very complex ectlou G,'alces place, the water precipitating 0110 mineral and at the same time die - solving a second. Sometlnes the untorgeoued water will.dissoive out large portions of rock in their entirety. This senses the for- mations of caves. One of the best kriowu regions of caves is In Kentucky ,and southern Indiana. When the roof of a cave beeomeei titin and weak, it frequently collapses, causing the surface of the ground to sink.

Whether- one catches cold easily is Largely a question of physical cond.- tion. If the general vitality is low, reaietance to disease is weak and a such a time a cold is cagy to contract and difficult to check. Constipation is frequently the cause of such a state of health, with its atten- dant listlessness, biliousness, headaches and a general lac;: of vitality. Poisons from the waste matter that remains behind after improper, irregular bowel elimination are picked up by the blood and carried to every part of the body. They weaken your resistance to disease.
