What holy memories the very wordstirsin our hearts! How it grows fragrant with olden love, and beautiful with the tenderness of a Mother's face. We speak it softly and reverently, and remember how once the hollyhocks bloomed in the garde nbehind the old house, and how grandmother's face waited for us with welcome at the old fashioned gate! Home! It is the sweetest of all Peculiar Geological Formation. There is located Immediately west of Junction City a few miles south of Daavllle, Ky., a wonderful geological formation known as "Bald Blue Knob." This is a member of the chain that branches off from the Cumberland mountains and extends along the route of the Knoxville divi- sion of the Louisville & Nashville railway. From its foot to its crest Is about 200 feet and except on the large fiat top, with a small knob in its cent er r vege- tation. is covered with shrubbery and The top, however, is abso- lutely barren. Not a sprig of any kind has ever grown upon it. The soil is as blue as indigo and this coloring has never been affected by the ravages of time. It is be- lieved by many that this knob was at one time a volcano, and that the surface of the crest was belched forth from the bowels of the eart'n. The "Bald Blue Knob" has been an object of wonder for many genera- tions, and hundreds of visitors ascend Its steep sides each year to view its crown of richest azure. words, as we knew it in the olden days! But is home still the sweetest of all words? Does the question shock you? Let us be honest and face the facts. Is the word Home to -day as beautiful as it was a quarter of a centuY,si ago? Does it still stir in the hearts of the younger generation the dreams that it stirred. in ours? Does it still bring to the young men and young women the thought of the fam- ily together in' glad union, the glory ,,t. the hour when family prayer was held, the sense of holiness which sur- rounds that which means worship and adoration? God forbid that I should try to speak slightingly of any lovely thing. I do not want to write in the spirit of "Stain Street," picturing only the dark side and forgetting all that is lovely. I do not doubt that we have Humes to -day. I do not doubt that many children grow up loving Home in its most beautiful' meaning, and treasuring memories of Mothers and Fathers worthy of all remembrance. But is the American Home, gener- a ally speaking, true to its old tradi- • tions, to its old affections and ador- tiuns? is its influence the same as it was a generation ago? Does the heart of man to -day turn back to home as yearningly and with such sense of loneliness as the heart of yesterday did? Honestly, brethren, I (tar it does not. Luck over your home block.

Again„ Jelin Adams, on being disturbed in phis last hour by the sound of heavy guns, and be- ing told that the day was the fourth of July, exclaimed, "It is a great and glorious day; independence for ever!" When Coventry. Paltmore, the poet, lay dying, he turned to his wife and said, "I love you, my dear, but He is my Light and my Life." 'Centuries before him did not Roger Ascham, one of the fathers of English litera- ture, expire breathing, "I ,desire to depart and be with Christ?" ;When Charles Wesley passed away, on his lips were these words from' Psalm seventy-three, "My flesh and my heart faileth," When his more illustrious brother lay on his deathbed, in 1791, he also found consolation in the Psalms. He was heard to mutter, "The clouds drop fatness"; and again "The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge," and at the very end, "The best of all is, God is with us." Like the unfortunate Queetl of Scots, Martin Luther's last utterance was, "Into Thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit." Last words! Por centuries those listening to them treasured them, and made place for them in their lives. To -day, this fine strain of reverential 'feeling is being killed by material - found their situ fun. At night the family gathered together around a table, and listened while one read the works of -the masters. Children grew up loving Dickens and Scott, and having in their imaginations a great pageant of the wonderful world that Shakespeare had given folks to live in, They sang the old songs, and nobody seemed to suffer because, jazz had not been discovered. They ' had neighborhood picnics and were i satisfied with their own frolicking. How many children of this day, my friends, have ever heard their par- ents read to them from the great works of the ages? Forty years ago, how many boys were away from home when night fell? To -day there are countless homes in which parents go to bed at night, with the children still out, and they do not know what tithe they ; get in, and they do not ask ques- Well, the auto has happened, and the movie, and the flim -flame of a de- pravity known as culture, and, per- haps worst of all, the cheap vanity that wants to do everything the neigh- bor does. Oh, no, I do not condemn the aujji,and the movie. We needed them, SW we have not properly in- itiated them. We have adapted our- selves to them, instead of adapting them to our needs, 'But our real er- ror has been this; In accepting the new things we have let the old -go, and with the old has gone all that could have made the new worth while. The American Home me is disintegrat- ed isinteg rat -ed because it has failed to seem necessary to the young. We have permitted the children to grow up believing -that the movie was more than home, that a dance was more interesting than home, that there can be no picnic that is not far away,' that there is no joy unless it be in unfamiliar places. How did this come about? Simply by losing sight of the fact that joy and satis- faction is in folks and not in things. What is the secret of the spiritual starvation of to -day? Merely that we have lost the art of simplicity. Some people profess to believe that our weakness to -day is the complex- ity of life. Not at all. Life is no more complex than it was in Adam's time. Of course, it is bad enough to make life complex. But we have done worse than this. We have made life uninteresting. Which is always what happens when we lose simplic- ity. Ah, but you say that the movie and the auto and the, greater variety of things should add to the interest of life, and not detract from it. Not at all. The only thing that adds to the interest of life is interest in life, and not interest in things. John • Burroughs was richer -than Rockefel- ler; Thoreau knew more than Pier - pont Morgan. pont Morgan. Folks are no longer easy to please, and that is a terrible tragedy. Years Years ago a family went to a cele- bration once a year, and talked about it for a year afterwards. It was the event of a lifetime. To -day we ge tc something every day, and nothing thrills us. I once heard a man de- scribe a ten -mile journey as if were the achievement of a lifetime. To -day men travel across the world and re- member only that it was hot or cold. Riches generally consist in not hav- ing too much. I can recall forty years ago in a small town in this state when there was no such thing as "society; when there was seldom a theatrical performance, and when "entertain- ments" were few and far between. How did folks live, you say? They made their own entertainment, and In an Awful State. After refreshments nt a card party the topic of conversation was the con- dition we found our flat In when we moved. My husband told a long com- ical story of how he spent his whole Saturday afternoon trying to get the kitchen floor clean. Every one laughed with the exception of one woman, who said: "We .just moved from that flat" St Is needless to say the color of my husband's -face turned.—Exchange. Eggs Miraculously Saved.

And every week or two some broken-hearted parent comes to der that a child me to express won should have gone wrong. The old moral discipline of the home has broken down. It is easy to see why! Forty years ago children were repressed. They must not speak; they must not offer opinion. This was one extreme. In the reaction we lave gone to the other extreme, and children rule the home if there is any rule at all. 'Parents give the children their own way. There must be n•t word of reproof. We just trust to luck that the spoil- ing will not go too far. I could write a book on the cases I know about of boys and girls ruin- ed at dances and other cheap enter- tainments about which their parents knew nothing. The parents are too busy to care. Ah, yes, the parents have set the example. Mother must not miss the bridge party; father must not forego his club. Surely the children will conk out all right. Will they not follows their parents' foot- steps? Indeed they will. And they do. And they reap the spiritual whirlwind which their parents have sown fox them. WiTH THE HEI.(' OF JOHANNA "Thomas," said Mrs. Ruraldean, appearing at the door of her hus- band's study, "what absurd idea do you think that new gardener has in his head? I was asking him a- bout planting the potatoes, and he declared that we could hardly expect' to get'a full crop without Johanna about the place. And I left him there staring. That great, hulking man! I suppose he used to harness his wife and his cow together at the plough in Europe." Mr. Ruraldean, with fire in his eye, went out to interview the gardener. "What is this ,Johanna you're telling Mrs. Ruraldean about?" 'he asked. "Oi was only tellin' her there's reothin' can beat Johanna for gettin' a good crop off the land." I don't see the need of any Jo- hanna. If you can't—" - "Well, of coarse, there's sheep man- ure, and there's phosphate, but for rale results—" "I'm not talking about sheep man- ure or phosphate. What I want to know is, how about this female—Jo- hanna?" "A woman indade! Sure, it's this here Johanna I'm tellin' ye about." And the gardener pulled from his pocket a seedman's catalogue. Mr. Ruraldean looked where the grimy finger of the hired man pointed and read: "Guano in hundred -pound bags." No Sympathy Due. "Don't you think Mr. Bilagins 18 suffering from exuagersitcd ego?"

A ;MOST EXTRAORDINARY ANIMAL. Elephants have a reputation for very bad elesight, but, according to Mr. Carl Akeley in the World's Work, our information on the point is neither complete nor accurate. One day on the Vasin Gishu Pla- teau in Africa, he writes, an elephant herd charged us at a distance of two hundred and fifty yards. When we had first come up with them we could move round within fifty yards of the herd; but after they scented us they were able to see us at a distance of two hundred and fifty yards. The elephant's sight, however, is nc•thing corn -pared with his ability to smell. His trunk is probably the best smelling apparatus in the world; and he depends first of all on his sense of smell. When he is at all suspic- ious he moves his trunk round in every direction, so that the slightest taint in the air will reach him. In many other ways the elephant's trunk is the most extraordinary part of that most extraordinary animal. It is entirely flexible at every point; it can turn in any direction and has tremendous strength. There is no bone it it, but it is constructed of interwoven muscle and sinew so tough that you can hardly cut it with a knife. From it an elephant can shoot a stream of water that will put out a fire; and with it he can lift a tree weighing a ton, or pull a deli• cate blade of grass. He drinks with it, feeds himself with it, smells with it, works with it and fights with it. LAST WORDS OF GREAT MEN It has been stated that the last word's of King Alexander of Greece when difficulty in breathing made it hard for him to speak, were: "I can- not bear it any longer; I am dying."I His words recall other and remark- able last sayings of monarchs and celebrated men and women. Some have passed into history. When the great Protector, Oliver Cromwell, was nearing his- end, he continually repeated the words, "God . is good,". and added at the last of all, "I would willingly be of service to God and His people, but my work is done." Laconic, yet imbued with the same sense, was George Washington's last murmur, "Pt is well." "I am taking a fearful leap in the dark," said the aged phildsepher, Hobbs, on whose tombstone are the words, chosen by himself. "This is the philosopher's stone." The dark was in Goethe's thought also. "More light," was his last dying utter- ance. Instances of the ruling passion strong in death are striking. As Nelson, who was -so emphatic on duty, lay dying in the Victory's codkpit, he uttered these last words, "Thank God, I have done my duty." Lord Chief Justice Tenterden thought he was bark in the court dismissing a jury: "Gentlemen," said he with his dying breath, "you are all dis- missed." Napoleon died at St. Hel- ens, dressed in his uniform for battle with the words, "Tete d'armee," on his lips, winning, no doubt, some last tremendous conflidt of a greater Waterloo. Haller, the great surgeon, was heard to exclaim as he felt his pulse, "The artery ceases to beat," and with that he died. What said Mary Queen of Scots as she knelt on the scaffold at at Fotther- ingay: "Into Thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit." The last Words spoken by Sir Henry Irving,. the fam- ous actor, on the stage at Bradford before he was stricken down, were, "Into Thy hands, 0 Lord, into 'Phy hands."

Japanese have •discovered a new method of extracting aluminum from certain metals . and will establish' a large electrically operated refinery, utilizing the process. The world's largest industrial alco- hol plant, in Baltimore, is saving and maniketing a vast amount of carbon dixoide gas, obtained as a byproduct and formerly wasted. ,French and Italian engineers ' are making studies on the ground for a tunnel under MonhBlane to connect their countries, a project that has been considered for years. An electric grinding machine has been designed to simplify the work of installing new tubes in oil boilers by removing soot and scale that prevent the making of tight joints. Japanese experts have estimated the coal deposits of their country to contain nearly 9,000,000,000 tons, of which almost 3,000,000,000 tons are available by modern mining methods. The inventor of a shrouded propell- er for airplanes claims that it renders a 'plane independent of wind and weather and transforms energy of a head wind into increased propeller thrust. estate, though not as much as had been expected by those who knew his frugal habits. Tagliapietra, once a great favorite in New York, left hardly any estate. Del Puente, the baritone, saved his money and left his family comfortably off. Marie Roze, famous' for her beauty as well as for her voice, died poor. Campanini made a lot of money with his voice, but when it failed him he invested his savings as an impressario and lost everything. Annie Louise Carey had never the opportunity to earn such fees as Lind or Patti, .but she saved her money, and when she died she left a handsome fortune. She had also- taken lsotaken the precaution to become the wife of a wealthy man, who wisely advised her throughout her pro- fessional career. Josef (Hofmann is popularly credited with having earned and saved more than any of his fellows, with the exception of Caruso. Padprewski probably earned more money, but Paderewski is a patriot first and a pianist afterward. The great bulk of his money has been sunk in Poland, and probably he will not see mudh of It. Paderewski is by no means a poor man, and though he plays no more he con- tinues to live comfortably in Cali- fornia. .Helfetz's violin is credited with earning nearly a million dol- lars for himself and his managers, and will earn much more. Rach- maninoff, who was robbed of his fortune by the Bolsheviks, is now in the United States earning another one. It is estimated that in one year he received $200,000, which in eluded royalties on his pieces, as well as fees for his performances. Auer also lost a fortune in Rulseia and is building up another one by teaching. He will have little dif- ficulty in doing it, while as regards Rachmaninoff, if he continues to be as successful for the next few years as he was last season, he might accumulate as much wealth as Caruso. FORTUNES LEFT BY STAGE FAVORITES It seems safe to say that Caruso left a larger fortune than any other great singer or musician. It has been estimated at about a million and a half dollars, but since Caruso is supposed to have lived at the rate of one hundred thousand dollars a year for many years past it is probably within the mark to say that his voice earned him three million dollars, and, because of the phonograph records, it will continue for many years to pro- vide money for his estate. It is not often that the great artist is a great saver' or a wise investor. As a rule he is so occupied with his art that he knows little about financial affairs except to be greedy. He has to de- pend upon others for advice in the handling of his money, and frequent- ly it is frittered away in foolish specu- lations. If the artist is a woman she is likely enou'gth to take some wastrel as a husband, and in this way ensure the dissipating of her savings. ' Patti made a huge fortune through her voice, but .when she died her estate, instead of running into the millions, fell short of half a million dollars. Fifty years' singing enabled Patti Ito accumulate a tremendous sum of money, and in her 1881 farewell in the United States she is said to have received $162,000 in San Francisco alone. But her later farewells were not so successful: When she sang in 1904 the people declined to turn out so rapturously as they had been doing for more than a generation. The castle she acquired -in- Whles probalbly consumed her savings at an enormous rate. Jenny Lind did not earn so much money as Patti, but she left a larger estate, though she was not as greedy. Patti used to sit in her dressing room before a performance with one slipper on and one off, waiting for the mana- ger to come up from the box-office with the real coin before she would sing a note. She was not a pleasant person to do business with, this little lady with the glorious voice. Melba, another noble singer, who has had a long period of success on the stage, has now retired and is reckoned one of the rich women of Australia. Occasionally she takes • a pupil, not from necessity, but I from pleasure, while Lilii ,Lehmann teaches only when she -funds a voice which arouses her enthusiasm. Nordica, a fine artist and a charm- ing woman, ought to have left a great fortune, but litigation has yet failed to reveal what became of it or even what was the fate of her famous pearls. Nordica, like Caruso, was warned by her first teacher that she had no future as a singer and was urged to adopt any other profession. Caruso's first master was probably a shrewder knave for, while he predicted that in three years Caruso would of have a voice at all, he tied up the singer to a contract by which he secured for him- self- the lion's share of his earnings for a long period of years. Tamagno, the Italian, left a large NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE. An Englishman has invented a sub- stance which increases the absorbing power of alcohol far acetylene to form a new motor fuel. An X-ray cabinet has been devised by a Florida inventor for destroying insect life in foods, tobacco and other perishable articles. Long neglected deposits of lignite in Greece having been developed as a souce of fuel, experiments are under way with briquetting it. Two hardened steel wheels feature a new knife sharpener, the blades beinb rubbed between them without danger of cutting hands of a user. Paris is experimenting with six - wheeled motor busses of large carry- ing capacity in a search for a solu- tion of its transformation problem. Two steel wiresof held, ettogether the ends by pieces form a Virginia inventor's device for holding men's soft hats in shape. Though silver deposits are known to exist in at least five places in the Philipines, no extensive attempt has been made to develop mines. All records of the United States pa- tent offices were broken last year by the number of patent applications filed and trade marks registered. The manufacture of ferro-silicon in the electric furnace is increasing at the foot of the- French Alpe, where water power produced electricity is cheap. For signaling two English scien- tists have invented a steam whistle that can be blown under water and heard with the proper instrument four miles away. .
