SF:AnOWS, "II -ad you reason to suspect any cardiac trouble, Hooter McMurdocis?' asked Halley. Doctor Mc1VIuddoch, a vocal practi- tioner who had been a friend- of •Sir Charles Abingdon, shook his ]lead slowly. "Was he consulinlg you profession- ally, Mr. Harley?"asked' the physi- cian, "He was," replied Harley, staring faseinate'diy at the photograph on the: mantelpiece; "I am informed," said he, abruptly, "that Miss Abingdon is. out of town?" Doctor McMnrdoch nodded .in his slow, gloomy fashion. "She is staying in Devonshire with poor Abingdon's „ 'r sister, he answered. I am wonder- ing how we are going to break the news to her." Perceiving that Doctor Mcleurdoch had clearly been intimate with the fat Sar Charles, klavley determined to make use of this opportunity to en deavor to fathom the mystery . of the late surgeon's fears. "You will un- derstand me, Doctor MoMurdoeh," he said, "if I venture to ask you one os two rather personal questions respect- ing Miss Abingdon?" Doctor Me -Murdoch lowered his shaggy brows and Iooked gloomily at the speaker. "Mr. Harley," he replied, "I know yu by reput for a man of integrity. But before I answer your questions will you answer one of mine?" "Certainly." "Then mm .question is this: Does not your interest cease with the death of your client?" "Doctor McMurdoch," said Harley, sternly, "you no doubt believe your- self to be sting as a friend of this 'bereaved fancily, 'You' regard me, perhaps, as a Paul Pry prompted by idle curiosity. On the contrary, I nd myself in a delicate and eniber- raseing situation. From Sir Charles' conversation I had gathered that he entertained certain fears on behalf of his daughter." "Indeed," said Doctor McMurdoch, "If thee fears ere well grounded, the danger ie not removed, but mere- ly increased by the death of Miss Ab- ingdon's natural protector. I regret, sir, that I approached you for in- formation, since you have misjudged my motive." "Ole," said Doctor MGMurdoch, gloomily, "I'm afraid I've offended you. But I meant ell, Mr. Barley." A faint trace of human emotion show- ed itself hs his deep voice. "Charley Abingdon and I were students to- gether in Edinburgh," he explained, "1 was mayhap a little strange." His apology was so evidently sin- cere that Harley relented at once. "Please say no n>tore, Neter Mt - Murdoch," he responded, "I fully appreciate your feelings in the mat- ter. At such a time a stranger can only be an intruder; but"—he fixed his keen eyes upon the physician— "there is more underlying all this you su a or could readily be- lieve. You will live to know that I have spoken the truth." (To be continued,) - \Vilccn T'tiblish;ng Comp J?':I 9 � I ti.;r,,s,TM Or ni a1 ''r=. Prominent Jew Defends • Jestis Against Attack Of Christian Minister Dr, S. A1, Melamed, famous Jewish scholar and editor, conks to the de- fense of Jesus in a leading article Pub- lished in The Reflex, a now magazine devoted to the secular iieter'ests of the Jewish people. Dr,' Melamed -upholds Jesus against an attack by the Ivey, John Haynes 1:Iolmos, pastor of the Christian Com- muuity Church of New 'York, City,: Dr, 1lolmes, a Christian minister, said in a recent sermon that the "re- ligion of the future will have nothing to do with Jesu'. It will have 110 use for .the Bible or.. for any 'church. It will -be based on truth only, truth as found' by man and not as revealed by God." Dr: Melamed says that Dr, Holmes is a Philistine and a false prophet. "As Jews, we have no attitude to Jests. No Jew has unless he is a Jesus Rabbi," says this Jewish schol- ar, "but as contemporaries of Dr. Holmes, we have our own thoughts about the incarnation of the Christian , myth. Jesus achieved what no other mortal ever has or ever, will achieve. He became the central figure of the world's history, the very embodiment of anti -Caesar. Anti -Caesar became the son of God. There are many anti - Caesars to -day: There wero many anti -Caesars, one, two, or 500 years ago, .but. Jesus of Nazareth, the hum- ble Jew, was- the first anti -Caesar in history. As a reward, he was ele- vated to the position of the Son Of God—the highest reward ever re- ceived by a mortal for a great mortal feat. The reward killed Jesus for'.'the Jews. He is not acceptable to us and never will be. Jewish monotheism re- jects not only doctrines but even sym- bols liable tobecloud bee ou its purity. lu y. "The Son ofGodis a blot upon Jew- ish monotheism, But the fact that Jesus is not acceptable to the Jews does not warrant a Christian Miuis- ter's attempt to relegate him to reli- gious mummy g yrlom." "Because Jesus was the greatest ex- ample of pure religion without any admixture of ethics and politics, he impressed himself so deeply upon the shivering souls of a world tortured by Caesar that he became Christi" con- tinues Dr. Melamed. "Since nobody claims that the Bible is a book oe science, its proposed re- jection on the ground that it doesn't contain science is a display of Babbit- ism," Dr. Melamed concludes. "While the Bible is not a book of science, It is a book of truth, not the relative truth as found by man but eternal truth as discovered by genius, by men who thought in terms of eternity, whose power of intuition enabled the eye to guess Use beginning and visu- alize the end of all things." Tho Rev, Dr, Holmes is making the mistake of all the gnostics through the ages, claims Dr. Melamed. The Bible will retain its hold on the mind of man. In fact, he writes, "Science today differs vastly from the science of one thousand years ago. ale wird believes that science is the incarna- tion of the constant and permanent in the flight of phenomena is un- scientific."

In Great Britain the construction" and equipment of a huge sulphate of ammonia works at Billingham on the Tees, has so farbeenvery little ad- vertised, but the achievement is now. beginning to attract attention by its magnitude. The Chorzow factory, which is situ- ated a few miles 'from I{attowitz, was built by the German Government in 1919.18 for war .purposes, It was taken over by the Polish Government after the settlement of the Silesian question, and it has since been open eted on behalf of the Polish State. All the German experts left the factory, soi that some time elapsed before the intricacies of the work were mastered by the new Polish chemists and en - gingers, Use on Increase in Poland. In 1922 the production was 10 tons of carbide and 130 tons of cyanamide per day, This has beenincreased to 300 tons of carbide and 260 tons of cyanamide. Tho nitrogen content has been increased, and the electrical power,required per kilo of pure nitro- gen has been reduced by one-third.. The products are exported to adjoin- ing countries and to Prance, but lat- telly the use of nitrogen fertilizers has increased to such an extent in Po- land that export has had to bo to- d used. Tho pioneer achievement of the German ebeniical industiy'in this field are already well known. During the last two years, the fast-growing sales of sulphate of ammonia have been every profitable to the Chemical Trust, and row that the merits of the now complete fertilizers are widely known among German farmers, .this branch of producion is becoming increasingly important. But the P,ritibh develop Inept has opened out an entirely now prorpoct. ¢. Plant Started in War. The Dillingham site was bought by ht the British Government during the war with the object of trying out the Haber process. The war came to an end before anything had been done, however, and after protracted nego tiations the Brunner Atloid Company took over the site, which, Is particu- larly valuable because it has largo de- posits of gypsum, which Is used in the manufacture cf the sulphate of am- monia. +. The plant will be in 'full operation =portly, and the output is expected to jump from the present 290 tons of rulphate of ammonia a day to S00 tons, Negotiations aro now on foot between the Mond Trust and the Ger- man Chemical '!rust with the object of avoiding the intense competition that might easily .tire. British Use New Processes. It fs believed that au agreement will be reached in the near future for the allocation of markets and for collabo- ration In other ways. Already the .134- tish Trust has acquired territorial rights In the German patents for the. complete fertilizers, and for certain new products which will give the farmer a much larger nitrogen con- tent in a given weight of ferWizer. One new process is to mix nitrogen with the carbonate of lime, which fe a by-product of the sulphate of am- 4 moria process. 'Thin is not only very cheap, but it enables the farmer 'to apply to till land nitrogeu and lime Cimultaneously, Already the use of nitrogen ferti- lizers is rapidly increasing to Great Britain, especially for the improve- ment of grass lands, and it is believed that a huge potential market exist's in the British colonies and the Lar Dant. 'T Class Blowers Profit Owing to a scarcity of skilled labor In Venice, it has been found necessaryf by most of the glass factory employ- ors to admit the master glass blowers • into their' firms. This has been done by permitting them to bny stock, so that many of the works are now oper- ated on a co-operative, prof!( -sharing plan, each master laborer owniug at W least a share of stock and sharing at the end of the year in the division of net profits, in addition to getting a weekly salary. "Dear Bettie," wrote the, young man, "pardon me, but I'm getting so. forgetful. I propofied to you last night, but really forgot whether you said yes or no."
