"It Is too often taken for granted that
the Anglican and Roman comtnunl'ins can
only maintain a position of unfriendliness
toward one another. "There is hesitation,"
says the New York Churchman (Protestant
h'piscopii i). "even to speak of an era of
that conciliation and good-will which
should mark Christians who. In so many
ways, have a I'ke point of view on funda
mental doctrine and alike maintain the
broad principles of historic continuity. The

so far as we know, as the volume that has

Kngllsh theologian. Y. A 1-aeey. Mr.
Lacey, with Father Puller, undertook an
Informal mission to confer with some of
th. highest authorities of the Roman
church on th ) question of Anglican orders.
The whole atmosphere of the book shows
that the struggles, prejudice, and antipa

comity and Christtun sympathy on cither

Their store is at 73 Sixth street south.
A large number of clerks are at

mated that the sale will amount to
$30,000. The eiact sum is not vet
known. Seven well-stocked floors and
a basement will all have to be gone

Frank D. Rubel, president of the
Rubel Furniture company, speaking or
the sale, said: "Our firm was, indeed,
fortunate in obtaining this large stock
of Jf II. Peterson & Co. This firm has
been located in Minneapolis for many
years and the quality of their merchan

public of the Twin Cities. In addi

basement, their warehouse contains a
large araonnt of high-class merchan

a price that we are enabled to offer
furnishings for the home at a very low
price. The Peter so 4 stock is now be

"We believe that there is hardly a
clergyman In this land who would not be

York Kvangellst (Pres.), "could he see
plainly that It would bring In the kingdom
of goodwill, happiness and Justice. On the
other hand, did Christianity have the real
spirit of Christ it would not permit some
terrible things to exist. It has the money,
had It only the spirit, and. it has some
methods at hand which it could use at
once, had It the passion for the un
shepherded world its master had. Some
how, in some way. the church, were It
really Christian, would insist that business
be so reorganised that gltis would not be
driven onto streets, as they are In great
cities, to take out ln.uffle.lent' incomes;
that men would not have to work for
wages on which families cannot decently
subvlst. that men would not have to live
with poverty only a day of f If work fall, or
sickness comes, and with constant dread
of an uncared-for old age. Many Chris
tians are doing everything In their power
to relieve this condition of things. Many
employers are making . employes co-operators
and establishing pension systems.
But so long a. this terrible stat. of things
persists in the heart-sickening degree it
now doe. In our great cities, and still more
In the cliles of Kurope, Christianity is not
completely Christian."

HOW MILLIONS ARE WASTED
Fortunes that Slipped Thraogh Some
body's Fingers Because of Dis
carded Scraps.
Toward the cloe ofthe year somebody
or other of a mathematical or frugal turn
of mind begin, to figure out how much
we might have saved had we begun invest
ing our pennies, in oil and wine at the
beginning of the year. Thin time it Is John
T. Shaffer, inventor of labor-saving and
waste-preventing devices of Rochester, N.
Y., who lead. th. van with Interesting fi
nancial statistics of what might have been.
Mr. Shaffer, by the way, was the first
man to put wire into glass for practical
commercial purposes, thereby causing a
saving In bill, for broken glass. He also
applied the pneumatic cushion to our
bumpers for the reduction of shock In re
bound, thereby causing a saving In nerves.
His great hobby for thirty years has been
a study of the conservation of wasted as
set, of the industrial world. According
to data compiled by him, many millions of
dollar, were simply thrown away during
1910 because we let them dribble through
our fingers. He has more statistics on the
waste problem than probably any othw
man In the country. Of the long list of
material, most grossly wasted In America
corn cobs, oily waste, cornstalks, sugar
cane stalks and waste leather straps
are perhaps the most valuable when scien
tifically treated for conservation.
According to Mr. Schaffer, the lubricat
ing loxes on railroad car wheels are one
great source of unci.nserved wealth. There
are 10.249.4A2 car wheel, in the I'nlted State,
on its passenger and freight ars and loco
motives. They require, on an average,
thirty gallon, of oil per year, which
makes the annual consumption of oil for
our car and engine wheels alone 3O7,43,KO0
gallons.
To souk up this ast amount of lubricator
M. -47,310 pounds of waste are used, or
an average of five pounds to each wheel.
A demonstration of saving oil from wast,
used was made by Mr. Schaffer, and from
sixty pounds of th. oily waste .even KSl
lon. and one quart of oil woe agueexed.
If. on the average, 1W pounds of wast,
produce, eight gallon, of oil, the amount

possible to save from the oily waste used
by the railroads of the I'nlted States In
one year would reach the total of 4.097,784
gallons, and at an average price of only
33'. cents per gallon It. cash value would,
be 1, 35,595.
Discarded corncobs are another neglected
source of wealth. Mr. Schaffer claims that
they can be converted Into wood block in
many forms, the most valuable of which
are lumber, railroad ties and the basis of
many kinds of furniture. He estimate,
that this year's crop of approximately
3,000,000.000 bushels would produce 1.660.000.000
bushels of cobs on the basis of 66 per cent
cob, and these pressed into boards would
yield 412.000.000 ties, which would be enough
for 13.783 miles of railroad. The cobs of the
1910 yield would. If pressed Into lumber,
make. InO solid pile. th. size of the Pulitzer
building.
Of the neglected and undeveloped sources
of wealth of this country peat Is foremost.
Some of the richest peat deposits in the
world are around Black Lake, St. Law
rence county. New Yorki The Ureal Dis
mal swamp of Virginia is worth more than
many gold mines. Cape Kllzabeth. Maine,
has a great vein of peat, located three
year, ago by the I'nlted State, geological
survey. There are vast quantities In the
Dekotas. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Mlchlxan.
the New Kngland states, and their total
value, at 13 per ton, has been estimated by
federal experts at HX.0o0.000.0ii0. One of the
most successful uses to which peat has
been put Is In the production of gas. It
has been used by the Notla Steel works In
Sweden for thirty ears for the making of
gas, and from 13.000 to 16.0u0 cubic yards
of dry kneaded peat are used for gaa
maklng annually. Peat gas is used In sev
eral psrts of Kurope for glass melting and
furnaces.
A ton of dry peat will yield forty-three
gallons of alcohol when treated with sul
Pi uric acid and a special yeast, and the
alcohol will cost about one-fourth what
potato alcohol does. Tar Is also a product
of peat. The use of eat for fuel la known
lb. world over, and peat brlckleta have
proved successful In Kurope. New York
