Scribner's for May : Comparing the electric with the steam locomotive as \ mechanisms pure and simple , there is a wide difference between them as regards - gards simplicity. On the one hand we : have an aggregation consisting of boilers - ers , pumps , cylinders , valves , piston and connecting rods , with reciprocating - ing ) notions , while on the other hand : the electric locomotive has but a single moving ptrt , the armature , having a rotary motion. It follows that the cost for repairs of a simple mechanism " , dike the electric locomotive would be 'far below thatof thesteam locomotive , , in proof of which we need only cite the i ( statement of Mr. Alexander Siemens , f . J , president of the English institution of electric engineers , that the electric locomotives - comotives operating in the London Underground - derground railroad ran 60,000 miles ; Without costing a cent for repairs.

"Seek and Ye Shall Find , Knock rind It Shall Be Opened Unto Yo"-"Sock the Lord Wi11la lie May Be Found"- Isaiah l.5 : G. SAIAH stands head and shoulders above the other Old Testament authors In vivid descriptiveness - tiveness of Christ. Other prophets give an outline of our Saviour's features. Some of them present - sent , as it were , the side face of - - Christothers ; a bust of , Christ ; but Isaiah gives us the full length portrait of Christ. Other Scripture - ture writers excel in some things. Ezekiel - kiel more weird , David more pathetic. Solomon more epigrammatic , Habak- kuk more sublime ; it when you want to see Christ coming out from the gates of prophecy in all his grandeur and glory , you involuntarily turn to Isaiah. So that if the prophecies in regard to Christ might be called the "Oratorio of the Messiah , the writing of Isaiah Is the "Hallelujah Chorus , " where all the batons wave and all the trumpets come ! n. Isaiah was not a man picked up out of inslgnificanse by inspiration. He was known and honored. Josephus and Philo , and Siracli , extolled him in their writings. What Paul was among the apostles , Isaiah was among the prophets. My text finds him standing on a mountain of inspiration , looking out into - to the future , beholding Christ advancing - vancing and anxious that all men might know him ; his voice rings down the ages : "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. " "Oh , " says some one , "that was for olden times. " No , my hearer. If you have traveled in other lands you have taken a circular letter of credit from some banking house in New York , and in St. Petersburg or Venice , or Rome , or Melbourne , or Calcutta - cutta , you presented that letter and got financial help immediately. And I want you to understand that the text , instead of being appropriate for one age , or for one land , is a circular letter for all ages and for all lands , and wherever it is presented for help , the help comes : "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. " I come today with no hairspun theories - ies of religion , with no nice distinctions , with no elaborate disquisition ; but with an urgent call to personal religion. The gospel of Christ is a powerful medicine : it either kills or cures. There are those who say"I would like to become a Christian. I have been waiting a good while for the right kind of influences to come ; " and still you are waiting. You are wiser in worldly things than you are in religious things. If you want to get to Albany , you go to the Grand Central depot , or to the steamboat wharf , and , having got your ticket , you do not sit down on the wharf or sit in the depot ; you get aboard the boat or train. And yet there are men who say they are waiting to get to heaven- waiting , waiting , but not with intelligent - gent waiting , or they would get on board the line of Christian influences that would bear them into the kingdom of God. Now you know very well that to seek a thing is to search for it with earnest endeavor. If you want to see a certain man in this city , and there is a matter of $10,000 connected with your seeing him , and you can not at first find him , you do not give up the search. You look in the directory , but can not find the name ; you go in circles where you think , perhaps , he may mingle , and , having found the part of the city where he lives , but perhaps not knowing the street , you go through street after street , and from block to block , and you keep on searching for weeks and months. You say : "It is a matter of $10,000 whether I see him or not. " Oh , that i men were as persistent in seeking for Christ ! Had you one half that persistence - ence you would long ago have found him who is the joy of the forgiven spirit. We may pay our debts , we may attend church , we may relieve the poor , we may be public benefactors , and yet all our fife disobey the text , never seek God , never gain heaven. Oh , that the spirit of God would help me , while I try to show you , in cargy- ing out the idea of my text , first , how to seek the Lord , and in the next place , when to seek him. I remark , in the first place , you are to seek the Lord through earnest and believing - lieving prayer. God is not an autocrat or a despot seated on a throne with his I arms resting on brazen lions , and a sentinel pacing up and down at the foot of the throne. God is a father seated in a bower , waiting for his children - dren to come and climb on his knee , and get his kiss and his benediction. Prayer is the cup with which we go to j the "fountain of living water , " and dip up refreshment for our thirsty soul. Grace does not come to the heart as we set a cask at the corner of the house to catch the rain in the shower. It is a pulley fastened to the throne of God , which we pull , bringing the blessing. I do not care so much what posture you take in prayer , nor-how large an amount of voice you use. You might get down on your face before God , if you did not pray right inwardly , there i would be no response. You might cry at the top of your voice , and unless you had a believing spirit within , your f cry would not go further up than the G shout of a plow-boy to his oxen. Prayer must' be believing , earnest , loving. You are in your house some summer day , and a shower , comes up , and a bird , ; affrighted , darts' into the window , and wheels about the room. You seize' it You smooth its ruffled plumage. You feel its fluttering heart. You say , "Poor thing , poor thing ! " Now , a ) prayer goes out of the storm of this , world into the window of God's mercy. ' and he catches it , and he feels its fluttering tering pulse , and he puts it in his own bosom of affection and safety. Prayer is a warm , ardent , pulsating exercise. It is an electric battery which , touched , thrills to the throne of God ! It is the diving-bell in which we go down Into the depths of God's mercy and bring up "pearls of great price. " There was an instance where prayer mane the waves of 'the Gernesaret solid as stone pavement - ment Oh , how many wonderful things prayer has accomplished ! Have you ver tried it ? In the days when the scotch Covenanters were persecuted , and the enemies were after them , one of the head men among the Covenanters prayed. Oh , Lard , we be as dead 4 . y + E . .i . : l z a . . < men unless thou shalt help us ! Oh , Lord , throw the lap of thy cloak over these poor things ! " And Instantly a Scotch mist enveloped and hid the persecuted - secuted from their persecutors-the promise literally fulfilled : "While they are yet speaking I will hear. " Have you ever tried the power of prayer ? God says : "He is loving , and faithful , and patient" Do you believe that ? You are told that Christ came to save sinners. Do you believe that ? You are told that all you have to do to get the pardon of the gospel is to ask for it. , Do you believe that ? Then come 1 to him and say : "Oh , Lord ! I know thou canst not lie. Thou hast told mete to come for pardon , and I could get it. I come , Lord. Keep thy promise , and liberate my captive soul. " Oh , that you might have an altar in the parlor , in the kitchen , in the store , in the barn , for Christ will be willing to come again to the manger to hear prayer. He would come to your place of business , as he confronted Matthew , the tax commissioner. If a measure should come before congress that you thought would ruin the nation , how you would send in petitions and remon- strances ! And yet there has been enough sin in your heart to ruin it forever - ever , and you have never remonstrated or petitioned against it. If your physical - ical health failed , and you had the means , you would go and spend the summer in Germany , and the winter in Italy , and you would think it a very cheap outlay if you had to go all round the earth to get back your physical health. Have you made any effort , any expenditure , any exertion for your immortal and spiritual health ? Oh , that you might now begin to seek after God with earnest prayer. ' Some of you have been working for years and years for the support of your families. Have you given one half day to the working out of your salvation with fear and trembling ? You calve here , with an earnest purpose , I take it , as I have come hither with an earnest purpose , and we meet face to face , and I tell you , first of all , if you want to find the Lord , you must pray , and pray , and pray. I remark again , you must seek the Lord through Bible study. The Bible is the newest book in the world. Oh. you say , "it was made hundreds of years ago , and the learned men of King James translated it hundreds of years ago. " I confute that Idea by telling - ing you it is not five minutes old , when God , by his blessed spirit , retranslates it into the heart. If you will , in the seeking of the way of life through scripture study , implore God's light to fall upon the page , you will find that these promises are not one second old , and that they drop straight from the throne Of God into your heart. ' ' ' Oh , . my friends ! if you merely want to study the laws of language , do not go to the Bible. It was not made for that. Take "Howe's Elements of Criticism"- it will be better than the Bible for that. If you want to study metaphysics , better - ter than the Bible will be the writings of William Hamilton. But if you want to know how to have sin pardoned , and at last to gain the blessedness of heaven - en , search the scriptures , for in them ye have eternal life " , When people are anxious abou their souls , there are those who recommend good books. That is all right. But I want to tell you that the Bible is the best book under such circumstances. Baxter wrote "A Call to the Unconverted - verted , " but the Bible is the best call to the unconverted. Philip Doddridge wrote "The Rise and Progress of Religion - ligion In the Soul , " but the Bible is the best rise and progress. John Angell James wrote "Advice to the Anxious Inquirer , " but the Bible is the best advice - vice to the anxious inquirer. Oh , the Bible is the very book you need , anxious and inquiring soul ! A dying soldier said to his mate : "Com- rade , give me a drop ! " The comrade shook up the canteen , and said : "There isn't a drop of water in the canteen. " "Oh , " said the dying soldier , "that's not what I want ; feel in my knapsack for my Bible , " and his comrade found the Bible , and read him a few of the gracious promises , and the dying soldier - dier said : "Ali , that's what I want. There isn't anything like the Bible for a dying soldier , is there , my comrade ? " Oh , blessed book while we live ! Blessed book when we die ! Sin is an awful disease. I hear people say with a toss of the head and with a trivial manner. Oh , yes , I'm a sin- ner. " Sin is an awful disease. It is leprosy. It is dropsy. It Is consump- tion. It is all moral disorders in one. Now you know there Is a crisis in a disease. Perhaps you have had some illustration of it in your family. Sometimes - times the physician has called , and he has looked at the patient and said : "That case was simple enough ; but the crisis has passed. If you had called me yesterday , or this morning , I could have cured the patient. It is too late now ; the crisis has passed. " Just so it is in the spiritual treatment of the soul- there is a crisis. There are some here who can remember - ber instances in life when , if they had bought a certain property , they would t haye become very rich : A few acres that would have cost them almost nothing - ing were offered them. They refused them. After a large village or city sprung up on those acres of ground , and they see what a mistake they made In not buying the property. There was an opportunity of getting it. It never came back again. And so it is in regard to a man's spiritual and eternal for- tune. There is'a chance ; if you let that go , perhaps it never comes back. Certainly - tainly , that one never comes back. A gentleman told me that at the battle - tle of Gettysburg he stood upon a height looking off upon the conflicting armies. He said it was the most exciting - citing moment of his life ; now one army seeming to triumph , and now the other. After awhile the host wheeled in such a way that he knew that in five minutes the whole question would be decided. He said the emotion was almost un- bearable. There is just such a time to-day with you. The forces of'iight on one side , the forces of death on the other side , and in a few moments the matter will be settled for 'eternity. There is a time which mercy has set for leaving port. If you are on board before that , you will get a passage for heaven. If you are not on board , you miss your passage for heaven. As in law courts , a case is sometimes adjourned - journed from term to term , and from year to year , till the bill of costs eats up the entire .estate , so 'there are men who are adjourning the matter of re- ligiori from time to time , and from year to year , until heavenly bliss is the bill of'costs the man will have to pay for it. Why defer this matter , oh , my dear . hearer ? Haye you any Idea that sin will .i wear out ? That it will evaporate ? That twill relax its grasp ? That you may nd religion as a man accidentally finds a lost pocketbook' : Ah , no ! No man e ) x'fi ever became s Christian by accident The embarrassments are all the time increasing. The hosts of darkness are recruiting , and the longer you post. pone this matter the deeper the path will become. I ask those men who are b < fore me new whether in the ten or fifteen years they have passed in the postponement of these matters , they have come any nearer God or heaven ? I would not be afraid to challenge thin whole audience , so far as they may not have found the peace of the gospel , in regard to the matter. Your hearts , you are willing frankly to tell me , are becoming - coming harder and harder , and that if you come to Christ it will be more of an undertaking'now than It ever would have been before. The throne of judgment - ment will soon be set ; and , if you have anything to do toward your eternal salvation - vation , you had better do It now , for the redemption of your soul is precious , and it ceaseth forever. Oh , if men could only catch one glimpse of Christ , I know they would love him ! Your heart leaps at the sight of a glorious sunrise or sunset. Can you be without emotion as the sun of righteousness - eousness behind. Calvary : and = sets 'be- hind Joseph's sepulchre ? He is a blessed Savior. Every nation has its type of beauty. There Is German beauty , and Swiss beauty , and Italian beauty , and English beauty ; but I care toot in what land a man first looks at Christ-he pronounces - nounces him chief among ten thousand - sand , and the One altogether lovely. " The diamond districts of Brazil are carefully guarded , and a man does not get in there except by a pass from the government ; but the love of Christ is a diamond district we may all enter , and pick up treasures for eternity. "Today , if ye will hear his voice , harden - en not your hearts. " Take the hint of the text that I have no time to dwell upon-the hint that there Is a time when he cannot be found There was a man in this city , SO years of age , who said to a clergyman who .came in. Do you think that a man 80 years of age can get pardoned ? " "Oh , yes , said the clergyman. The old man said : "I can't ; when I was 20 years of age-I am now SO years old-the spirit of God came to my soul , and I felt , the importance of attending to these things , but I put it off. I rejected God , and since then I have had no feeling. " "Well , " said the minister , "wouldn't you like to halve me pray with you ? " "Yes , " replied'the old man , "but it will do no good. You can pray with me if you like to. " The minister knelt down and prayed , and commended the man's soul to God. It seemed to have no effect - fect upon him. After awhile the last hour of the man's life came , and through his delirium a spark of intelligence - ligence seemed to flash , and with his last breath he sakf : "I shall never be forgiven ! " " 0 , seek the Lord while he may be found. " WHEN NIAGARA RAN DRY. In March , 184 $ , the Wonderful Torrent Actually Ceased to Flow. Congressman Dan Lockwood of Buffalo - falo says that within his recollection the great waterfall of Niagara was suspended - pended , and that many people passed over its rocky places dry shod. He says that the miracle was wrought in 1818 , during the month oft March. To be exact - act , says the Boston Transcript , it was on the morning of March 28 , 1548 , and for several hours the wonderful torrent - rent did cease to flow and the river ran dry. The preceding winter had been a severe one , and the ice which had formed in Lake Erie was of phenomenal - al thickness. Then came on March 27 a sudden exceedingly warm spell of weather , which melted the snows , and then a warm rain poured down in torrents during the entireday of March 28. The ice was loosened and a strong east wind drove it far out in the lake during the night. But at sunrise on the 29th the wind came from the west , and , as the sailors say , it was "bowing great guns. " This terrific gale drove the immense mass of ice into the mouth of the Niagara river , where it was gorged and piled up fromshoretoshore , hermetically sealing the river from damming the waters back into the lake. Thus it happened that Niagara ran dry , its falls became bleak , barren rocks , and its mighty thunders were put to sleep. Within four or five hours tiny streams of water began to trickle through the gorge. The tremendous power back of those streams accelerated - ated their flowing , and in a short time the ice dam gave way , and there never was such a wild , roaring , mad flood in Niagara before or since , and thus the cataract became itself again. NOT WANTED IN THE ARMY. How the Government Prevents Bad Characters from Enlisting. About four years ago the war department - ment began the practice of a system of personal records of soldiers with the purpose of providing an absolute means of identification , says a Washington correspondent of the. New York Commercial - mercial Advertiser. The medical officers by the use of figure cards took careful note of every indelible or permanent mark on the persons of recruits , and these were filed away in the office of the surgeon general. Last August congress - gress passed an act to prohibit the reenlistment - enlistment of men whose army service had not been honest and faithful , and immediately the data which had been been previously accumulated became of great valuesin preventing enlistments of bad characters. At the beginning of the present calendar year some statistics - tistics were gathered to show the workings - ings of the system , and it was found that in the first three months , of every thousand men enlisted from civil life , thirty-one were identified through the outline figure card of records as convicts - victs , deserters or otherwise undesirable - able characters. The officials of the war department are now thoroughly satisfied - fied as to the merits of the system , and as for the privates , they willingly pay the price of submitting to the examina tion and record In consideration of being - ing saved from ultimate association with notorious scoundrels.

A story is told of a judge who recently - cently had the.hypnotie plea raised before - fore him by a burglar. The prisone r claimed that he did not know that h e was "burgling , " that he did it automatically - matically and unconsciously , under th e direction of a hypnotist. The judge said he would give him the full benefi t of the law , and also of his hypnoti c misfortune. He thereupon sentenced the man to ten years in state prison , but told him that he could , if he chose , send for the hypnotist and have himself - self made unconscious for the term o f his imprisonment. "The same power , " said the judge , "which enabled you to commit burglary - glary , and not know it , ought also to enable you to suffer imprisonment with hard labor and not be aware of it.

An Aristocracy of Brains Plus Cash. Scribner's for May : An aristoracy brains-that is to say , an aristocracy of composed of individuals successful and prominent in their several callings- seems to be the logical sequence of our institutions under present social and industrial conditions. The only aristocracy - tocracy which can exist in a democracy is one of honorable success evidenced by wealth or a handsome income , but the character of such an aristocracy will depend on the ambitions and tastes of a nation. The inevitable economic law of supply and demand governs here as elsewhere , and will govern until such time as society may be reconstructed on an entirely new basis Only the leaders in any vocation can hope to grow rich , but in proportion - tion as the demands of the nation forr what is best increase will the type and characteristics of these leaders im- prove. The doing away with inherited ; orders of nobility and deliberate , pat- iented class distinctions , gives the entire - tire field to wealth.
