PRACTICAL tiURVEY..
This account of our Lord's visit
to Capernaum in the beginniaig of
His aninistry is a typical object les-
son of its character and work. It
was all -comprehensive, all -power -
fel. It embraced the needs of man's
three -fold nature -body, soul and
spirit. Christ "needed not that any
should 'testify of mean, for He knew;
what was in elan" This was a fun-
damental qualification for His
work. Conduct, conditions,, and en-
vironments, all were naked and
open to His views With such know-
ledge, and .with an infinite compas-
sionate love, and both. consecrated
to secure the highest good of mean
and to bring the oncost glory to
God, it was natural 'that the fruit-
age should be the picture given in
this lesson,,

Perhaps Ho was an official of the
synagogue, whose reputation with
the worshippers was unblemished.
Pot, hark ! hear his cry ! "Let us
lalono; what have we 'to do with
Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? 'Art Thou
conte 'to destroy ns? I know] Thee
wax' Thou art; the Holy One of
God." The searching light of truth
revealed the character of 'this bub-
tlo and unclean demon, and its
scorching rays extorted the 'honest
confession and the deprecating fear
of this "unclean devil." Beehold, the
man is silent, and the preacher
speaks again, 'saying, "Holy thy
place and come out of him.' As the
astonished listeners catch the last
word of this commend from the
preacher ,all eyes are turned to-
ward the man. see! He is being
torn., He cries loudly. Doubtless
there is great excitement, and pro-
bably some leave tthe synagogue
filled with fear, and Others are
angry !because of the estrange com-
motion and disturbance, but the

humble fishermen are on their tray

At once, probably before they had
eaten their dinner, Jesus Is told
that Simon's wire's mother is very
sick with a fever. "And He came
and took her by the hand and lifte+l
her up, and the fever` left her, and
she ministered upon them." Proba-
bly she heel ,the honor of serving
Him at the meal, and in various
ways. Devils fled at His word and
fever vanished at His touch.

and rest. But, behold all classes of
people from the city are on their

there also. ,What a strange company

this manner. How seldom a minister

FARM BUILDINGS
Some Valuable Information
Ventilation.
Deeartwent of Agriculture,
Commissioner's Branch,
At the recent Ontario and Mari-
time :Winter Fairs, Mr. A. P. Is:et-
cllen, of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, gave some valuable in-
formation on tete subject of venti-
lation, and his remarks are worthy,
on
of careful study by every farmer. He
said in effect ; No one attempts to
,cieey erre importance of ventilation..
The removal of foul gases and a con-
stant pupply of freely air is just as
necessary to the thrift of cattle as
food , and yet, the best means of
bringing this about, remains, to a
great extent, an unsolved problem.
1 do not think I have yet seen an
ideal system of ventilation for farm
buildings. The requirements of a
good Fystem or ventilation are; 1'
a constant change of air in the
stable. 2,. The introduction and
distribution of bell air without
(halts. 3. Thee liberation of this fresh
air at the window, near the treads
of the cattle in• such a manner that
they may breathe it before it is di-
luted with-Toul gases. 4. The re-
moval of foul air without condensa-
tion and subsequent drir'ping.
'There is a striking similarity in
many respects between a stable and
a furnace. 'Lee neeeesity for drafts In
a furnace arise froni the fact that
in t'n0 process of combustion oxygen
is being continuously used up, and
carbonic acid and other gases given
off. Heat, of course, is produced,
so that the gases ,given off in the
p:reocess of con'buttion are warmer
lean the elements entering into it,
ane! they rise in obedience to natural
laws, until they are coolee to about
the tomeerature of t11e surround -
kg air. When this temperature is
reaeheil, they tend to diffuse and unix
with the atmosphere. So it is in the
si able.

STUPENDOUS ENGINEERING.
Wo have in times past been told
mueli of wonderful Seats in rail-
road building, and much. 'has been
written of the engineering ski11 and
daring that directed 11ie course of
the iron horse across .the plains
and mountains that lie between the
Missouri Rii,ver and the Pacific
Ocean. "In the grandeur and mag-
nitude of the undertaking, the Use'

was urged forward, and the rapid-
ity with which it was executed, are
without a 'parallel in hisitory," were
the statemeets of the special Gov-
ernment connulesioners to the Sec-
retary of the Interior..
Thirty-five years ago there Was

ing .sv,ilile the builders of the Union
Pacific and Central Paclpfie raced for
supremacy. It was a magnificent
con test, but nowb,ciays the owners
of the road have 'been brought to
consider other problems. One of
these necessitated the solution of
the grade. question and the strai;lit-
ening of the track.
Ever since that eventful day, May
10111, 1869, when the golden spike
was driven at Promontory Point,
and the Atlantic and Pacit'mic were
finally welded together by a line of
railroad, the great tide of traffic:
between the east and the west
has ilotiv:ed back and forth across
"The Overland Route."
One+ of the most interesting anti
difficult feats of railroad engineering

pletee by the ownerd of "The Over-
land Route," Union Pastille and
Southern Pacific Railroad -the build-

Lake between Ogden, Utiles and Lu -
The work being practically com-
pleted, the new track( was formally
opened on Thanksgiving Day, when
Mr. ,E, H. Harriman, head of the
Harriman• Lines, and al deg party of
railroad magnates partook • of a
�r'a»kaglvina Da,y ,'lmnner in the
middle of Great Salt Lake.

Paving of several hours in running

The original scheme of the cut off
was conceived by talon late Col. W.
3. Huntington. The plans were per-
fected after the latex Col. Hunting-
ton's death, and approved by Mr.
Harriman, when Ire assumed charge
of the line.
_Active work was commenced in
1902, and tines the almost impossible
task was completed in about 22
months. The Last pile was driven
during tate last week of October.
This great work has cost over $L-
200.000.
The cut off runts from Ogden west
15 miles over level country before
reaching the lake proper, then
across the east arm of the lake nine
miles to Promontory. Then five
miloe of solid roadbed axed then 19
miles west over the west arm of
the lake towed Lade. and thence
across the Greet Sant Lake Desert
to Lucie, Nevada. Across the east
arm of .the lake, it will be almost
a continuous fillin supported by
trestle. Near the middle of this will
be a gap of 600 feet of °perm tres-
tle work left for the waters of the
Bear River, which flow into the
arm of the lake.
.A.'ares Promontory point runs five
miles of solid roadbed, and here dif-
fl alt work was encountered, a cut
of 8,000 feet long in 'sand and
rock of barren bluff being neees-
sary. At ties point, the most beau-
tiful on this inland sea., surveys
have been made for an immense Slim-
mer resort.

In convicting the work of ,•panning

enoo'untered across the east arm
by the i,ettiing of 1illins and trestle
work. Thus was caused by; the salt of

A Ventilation. System.
To provide -for tate fresh err inlet,
the floor of the feeding alley is ele-
vated twelve inches above the level
of the smile. The inlet may iseueis'
of a tea inch tile, or a wooden box,
about ten inches ajuare, running
under the floor the whole length of
the feeding alley. This will admit
enough fresh air for fifteen cattle;
if more are to be supplied, a conduit
placed on each side of the feeding
alley will be generally sufficient. The
main inlet is tapped opposite each
pair of cattle by the distributing
pipes. These least into the mangers
and are placed close . against the
the parting blocks, their open ends
being prevented from plugging with
dirt by a leather flap, or some other
device. The foul air is carried off
by means of ventilating shafts, lead-
ing from the ceiling of the stable
out through the roof. Most farmers
now run the purlins post strnight
from the floor to the purlins. Beside
those posts is a very convenient
place for the 'ventilating flues, they
are out of the way, and they are
not so readily chilled as when plac-
ed against the side of the barn. Ex-
cessive chilling of these foul air out -
tete not only reduces the convection
current, 'but condenses moisture,caus-
beg it to drip,
These foul air outlets eliould be of
good size, and should extend well
up beyonal the ridge of the barn. If
they are not carried far enough above
the roof, the current will often lie
in the wrong direction, and instead
of acting as outlets, the wind will
Sometimes force a strong draft of
cold air down onto the backs of the
cattle ; just as a chi.mnoy that les
too short will sometimes cause a
stove to smoke.
It will bet seen by this method that
the fresh air is admitted, as in the
furnace, below the heating area. It
is distributed evenly and without
drafts; it is liberated at the
heads of the cattle, giving them a
chance to use It before It has been
diluted with the poisonous gases of
the stable; as It is heated by in-
h,alation, and by the heat radiating
from the bodies of the animals, con-
vection currents are sent up to-
wards the ceiling-, and out through
the foul air shafts. This system is
automatic en its action ; the more
stock in the statue the stronger the
li'rayer will see immediate results. Thoughts. 1. Jesus still has the convection current, and the more

this week. Sales in number of de- .
eartments are ahead of this period
last year. 'Values of staple gases
are very firm. One of the leading
cotton mills this week issued a new
.price list, showing advances in the
piece of 5 to 10 per cent.
'!'here has been some develomaaent
at Toronto in the demand for
seeing goods. Otdors so far are gen-

domestic staple cotton and woolen
goods aro firmly yield. Cut mails
have been reduced 10e. Payments ,in
