-r Electric Locomotives Superior to Steam.
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.

I IIAESERMON
SALVATION THE SUBJECT OF
LATEST DISCOURSE.
"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.
Acts for Recreation.
Miss Marie Hulton , the English actress -
ress , has a wealthy husband , and acts
only for recreation. He expects to buy
I theater for her shortly.
Judge-to prisoner-"Have you anything -

my lord ; only T would ask you to be
quick , please , as it. Is near the dinner
hour , and if I am to go to prison I
should like to get there in time for , the

Best the Judge Could Do.
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. At
any rate , this is the best I can do for
you.-Albany Times-Union.

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.
