Th*‘ fault witii such r.usor.ining lies

wrong action through exposure, fine
and imprisonment is the result of man
made law. hence, if anything, is an
additional punishnn at to that imposed
by the moral law.
Sceince in its most recent investiga

ing to light more clearly each day the j
direct results of wrong thinking upon;
the life of each individual. Showing
that most of the ills which flesh is heir
to is the resuit of wrong thinking
and that each separate thougnt lias its
immediate and ultimate effect. When
the individual cannot escape the im
mediate penalty of a wrong thought,
how can he hope to escape that of
a wrong action, the physical interpre
tation of a thought?

Postal Improvements
The newest thing in the way of a
>iot machine is one for selling postage;
sti.mps. Tins is an innovation propos-'
c<i l>y Postmaster-General George Von
L. Me\er.
()tiier featnres in the postal service
proposed by him are as foliowe:
Renewal of postal notes payable to j
an individual instead of hearer as J
before.
establishment of a domestic par-,
cel post limited to ten pounds.
Kstahlishment of a postal savings j
hank system.
increase in the rural delivery.
Decrease in the rate of foreign post-j
to two cents each half ounce, for every
country having direct steamship ser
vice.
‘T have been studying these questions
very carefully," says Meyer, “and
will make the desired reforms myself
or where I have to will recomend them
to congress.”
Forerunner of Fulton
In 1785 John Fitch, a native of Con
necticut hut then a resident of Phila
delphia, exhibited a model of a steam
boat, and two years later made one
which he set in motion on tlie Dela
ware. In 1700 lie constructed a boat
which made 21 advertised trips with
out accident between Philadelphia and
Trenton. Robert Fulton was at the
time an apprentice to a silversmith in
Philadelphia, and never denied his in
debtedness to Fitch.—Philadelphia
Record.
The son’s light is equal to 5,563 wax
candles at one foot from the eyes. It
would take 800,000 full moons to] equal
cloudless sunshine.
