Like Mine schoolmaster, kind In being stern,
Who hears the children crying o'er their slates
And calling, "Help me. Master!" yet helps not.
Since In his silence and refusal lies
Their self-development, so Ood abides
Unheeding many prayers. He Is not deaf
To any cry sent up from earnest hearts;
. lf hears and strengthens when He must deny.
He sees us weeping over life's hard sums;
But should He give the key and dry our tear.
What would It profit us when school were riom
And not one lesson mastered?

What cbaoa would result!
In my fierce youth
T sighed out breath enough to move a fleet.
Voicing wild prayers to heaven for fancied boon
Which were denied; and that denial bends
My knee to. prayers of gratitude each day
Of my maturer years. Yet from those prayers
I rose always reglrded for the strife
And conscious of new strength. Pray on, sad hcurt.
That which thou pleadest for may not be given.
Rut In the lofty altitude where souls
Who supplicate Hod's grace are lifted, there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy dally lot
Which Is not eleswhere found.
Many foolish people are saying that
the present war calamity will Increase the
materialism of the world and destroy
Ita faith. Faith which can bo ao canity
destroyed I" not and never ha been
faith. That the old theology has received
a body blow during the last six months
is quit true. Put that does not mean
the death of religious sentiment
any more than the passing of crinoline
or the hobble skirt meant the passing
of fashion. Fashion stays ever In the
world, while modes change. Religion re
mains ever, though creeds change.
The religious scholars, the physics and
the seers have long known that this war

a message from his Invisible friends of
such an unusual nature that It seemed
desirable to give It wider publicity than
would result from being kept In his note

"There was a thickening foros gather

present German plan was not to annex
Holland, but o attack Belgium. There
would ultimately be a general war. In
which Germany, Including Austria and
the Turks would be opposed to Great
Britain, Russia, France and Italy.
The German emperor was the center of
German hostility. It had soras regard
for his English kinsmen, but was the
bitter enemy of the race. Bismarck was
working on him, though he was not con

Mr. Klnnet is a man of wide culture and

this lecture three years before the break

the most doubting Thomas to realise the
truth of the words. "There are stranger
things In heaven and earth than are
dreamed of In our phyloaophy."

Law that Governs the Tides

"Assuming that ths normal tide, at a
given point, rises four feet, what would
It be if the moon were but half or one

earth? What If It

caused only by the
moon, the height
)f the tide if the
i moon's distance
distance were re
! duced to half Its
present amount
would be eight times four, or thirty-two
feet; If Its distance were reduced to one
quarter of its present amount, the height
of tlie tide would be sixty-four times
four, or 2G4 feet.
I On the other hand. If the moon were
removed to twice its present dint ante,
the height of the tide would be reduced
to one-ehkhth of four feet, or six inches.
j while, with the lunar distance increased
four-fold, ths tide would be only one-alxty-fourth
of four feet, or three-quarters
of an Inch, In height.
Ths law underlying these things may
be stated thus: The tide-raising force
varies Inversely as the cube of the dis
tance of the body whose attraction pro
duces the tide.
Observe that It Is the cube, and not the
! squsre. of the distance that is employed
in the calculations. This usually sur
prises persons who remember vaguely,
from their school days, that the attrac
tion of gravitation varies Inversely as the
square of the distance. This law of "in
verse squares" is perfectly true when we
are dealing with the simple attraction
unawn no oouies consitiered as whole,
tor then the attraction must be regarded
as focused at their centers of gravity.
But tidal force Is a different effect; that
la to say. It represents the difference be
tween the attraction upon a nearer and
a farther point of ths same body. In
this raae the Inverse cube of the distance
determines the force.
Tbe total force of the moon's attraction
upon the earth la measured by the mass
of the moon snd the distance between
Its center and 'he center of the earth.
The mm always remains the same, but
the distance may vary. If the distance
Increases, or diminishes, the rone be
comes greater or teas, as Newton Uemoii
strsud. In ths ratio of the Inverse square
of the distance. That Is to say. If the
distance Is doubled, the force decreases to
one-fourth, and if the distance is halved
the force increases four-fold. But the
tklo-raisir.g force depends not merely
upon the distance between the centers of
tho moon and the earth, but upon tho
difference of the moon's distance from
tho center and from the surface of the
earth. If, then, the distance is either in
creased or diminished, the difference lust
spoken of will vary in accord with the
nexi nigner power of the distance, I. e.,
tho cube, and halving the distance will
not simply quadruple the force (2x2x3
equals 8).
The tide-raising force of the moon
(or the sun. which also raises tides) It
in the nature of a lifting force exer
cised upon the water of the ocean. In the
case of the moon It amounts to less than
one elght-mlUlonth part of the earth s
gravity, so that It does not pull the
water away from the earth, but merely
causes tho surface of the see. to swell
up slightly In a tidal wave.
Important consequences follow from
the law of Inverse cubes roverniiiK ih.
height of titles. One of these Is that the
tiue raised by the sun is leas than half
as high as that raise! by the moon,
although the muss, or attractive power,
of the sun exceeds that of the moon
many million times. If the law of in
verse squares governed in thst matter,
as it does In the caw of the sun's at
traction upon the earth, as a whole, the
tides raised by the sun would bo about
In) times as high as those caused by the
moon, and every seaport on the globe
would be swept to destruction!
Another consequence is that a great
variety is introduced Into the range of
height of the tides, since a mmniraiivi.
small chang In the distance of the moon
irom the earth produces a large change
in the tiiul force. The moon travels
round the earth In an elliptic orbit,
which causes it to be sometimes as much
as SVOO miles nearer than at other
times, and when it is iiearest (particul
arly If at such a time as its tides hap
pen to coincide In posil'on with thosw of
the sun) the harbors of the earth are
scoured with an extraordinary Influx of
sea water.
Yet another consequence of the same
law Is sen in the fact that the
alwss keepa the same face toward the
earth. This is ascrlbable to the braking
effect of the- trenendous tides which the
earth formerly raised In the plastic body
of tbe moon before it had solidified, and
wnue it was much nearer the earth than
it now Is. Hecent observations show

CHAWiOTTK PERKIXS (JILMAN.
Do you look for fashion plates, for
cooking recipes, for directions how not
to poison the baby that is what you
usually find under this caption, but not
here. Thes worJs are to call to mind
the fact that this great world and all
that is in it belongs to women ss much
as men.
It Is our world in full half share; not
to divide snd manage separately, but to
administer as a whole, together.
All our previous history up to dste has
made the mistake of assuming this to be
man's world: snd, laboring under this
initial error, man has run It all by him
self In his own way.
Woman meanwhile was carefully rele
gated to a circumscribed region called
home. This, she was told, was her
world all the rest was his. She was the
"queen of the home" and he wss every
thing else.
No, If the home really .was a separate
world, entirely under her management,
our story would have been very different.
As a matter of fact, the home was his
home, like everything else. Its size snd
quality snd location, all depended upon
him an J he ran hop up and change when
he pleases tske It to India or Africa or
wherever he pleases and the queen must
follow after. Also this little queendom
is run to suit the king's tastes and needs
and desires. The queen cooks and washes
for him and lives on what he gives her.
The home belongs to man and woman
both, of course; and the whole roun-J
world belongs to man and woman both
equally, of course.
It Is time that the women of the world
realised this, and accepted the responsi
bility. Men tell us our work Is nobler
than theirs. It Is. We make people.
There la no nobler work than that. But
look at the people we make! Are you
satisfied with them?
I do not mean your own children of
course, they are perfect- Ixok at other
people's children are they perfect?
Are you satisfied with the appearance
and behavior of the people you see about
you In the street every day? Are you
satisfied with the street, with the houses,
with the city? Do you like the lend Isws
of your country? Are you contented
with the quality of the goods you buy snd
the price you psy?
Is this world the kind of place you
like to have your children grow up In?
"The home Is woman's world," they tell
us. "If shs mskes her home happy all
will go well."
Here Is a new version.
The world is woman's home If she
makes her world happy, all will go well.
Suppose men get up a war, which they

horse and a hunter and a lariat-song that are to bs

you don't want to lose your new bat in the air behind
you and find yourself with a tightening golden rope

World Needs
continually do. Men fight by nature be
cause they are males.
Why should they? It is merely the old
brute instinct of sex-combat that makes
men fight; it is not a human performance
merely male one.
Yet. bo convinced are they of the
superior beauty and service of the srt
of fighting thst they would' deny us a
share in the government because, for
sooth, we cannot fight!
Will some one please show the social
service of fighting? "It defends the
country." they cry. Defends. It against
what? Against whom? "Against the
enemy!" they answer.
' What and who is this enemy?
"A foreign nation." they tell us.
' Never In the world.
Never in all history did one nation at
tack another. It was always and only
the men.
A nstlon Is composed of men snd
women.
A nation does not fight men fight.
They have retarded civilisation from
age to age by their manslaughterinK;
strewing our green world with death
and agony; wasting the wealth of gen
erations in noise and destruction.
The duty of women, when they wake
up, rub their eyes, see that this world
belongs to them. too. and that It might
be much better managed the first duty
of women will be to stop the fighting.
In later aire, ages of peace and uni
versal prosperity, we shall look back and
laugh at this period, when women were
refused their rightful place In the world
because they were not the fighting sex.
This is what the women need to realise;
so long as men alone make the world as
bsd as It Is, woman alone cannot make
the home any better than it is.

a "feminine" view of life must be neces
sarily narrow and one-sided. If it is,
then, so is a "masculine" view.
Tho previous assumption Is that men
are people men are humanity and wo
men are their females. Biological knowl

us. that iu strict sclentlfio faot the
female is a race type, the male Is a
varlent of later introduction. We need
not try to aet up a counter claim to ssy
that women, are humanity and relegate
men to the position of a subsidiary sex.
That time has passed forever. But we
can and should recognise the fact that
women are humanity exactly as much as
men, and have an equal interest and re
sponsibility in human affairs.
Even those of use who do work, who do
earn our ows living, do not yet appre

We do not mass our forces, and team,
as men have done, to raise our wages by
the power of union.
We do not study social conditions, find
out the causes for our general poverty,
and unite to remove them. The trouble
lies in this blind scceptsnce of ths old
talk ubout "woman's world'' being the
home. The home is only psrt of woman's
world. The point to lesrn-to learn
