THE YALE EXPOSITOR. THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1911. Cement Talk No. 7 Newspapers print near ly every day the story of some fire disaster involv ing the complete destruction of great property values and sometimes the loss of human lives. The annual fire losses of the United States are measured by the millions; in fact, it is stated that over two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of property was wiped out by fire in the United States last year. While it is true that the precautions to prevent fire and fire fighting systems are often inadequate, the main trouble lies in flimsyy Kon-Jirefroif building construction. Experience has proved that fireproof construction is both practicable and economical. In some industries fireproof building is compelled by law. Reinforced concrete has come to the front as the most important agent in building against fire. The use of cement in building is becoming more and more common, due to its fireproofness, durability and economy. When building any thing from the back porch steps to an office building, concrete construction may be safely adopted. The use of Universal Portland Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the best quality possible to manufacture. Uni-ver-sal is liandled everywhere by the best dealers.

A tourist In the mountains of Ten nessee once had dinner with a queru lous old mountaineer who yarned about hard times for 13 minutes at a stretch. "Why, man," said the tour ist, "you ought to to able to make lots of money shipping green corn to the northern market." "Yes, sorter," was the sullen reply. "You have the land, I suppose, and can get the eeed." "Yes, I guess so." "Then why don't you go Into the speculation?" "No use, stranger," sadly replied the cracker; "tho old woman is too lazy to do the plowln' and plantin'." ' Not All Smoked. L. White Iiusbey, Secretary to for mer Speaker Cannon, was explaining that the speaker did not smoko so much as people thought he did. "My understanding," suggested one of the party, "is that he gets away with about 20 cigars a day." "Oh, well," said Uusbey, "but he eat3 half of 'em." Sunday Magazine. r Easy . Breakfast!

I Out OptheOotw Port Arthur's War Scars Stif ' l L, So short Is tJr human memory that the scenes of the sanguinary conflict that ttefc piace round Port Arthur have almost been forgotten. The glory of Port Arthur has departed, and the attempts to restore the once powerful stronghold of the Russians are slow Indeed. The visitor to the battle-scarred forts and hillsides, however, must be struck with the feeling that, to all ap pearances, the war might have taken place only yesterday. The Illustration shows the ruins of Fort Ehrlung, the main parapet of which was undermined and blown up by tho Japanese. About 1,100 Japanese and 500 Russians were killed or wounded at this point. WHO'S WHO IN THIS TANGLE? I JAPANESE KITE FLIGHTS When Edward F. Nehrlk was ar raigned on a lunacy charge at Day ton, Ohio, the other day, a curious family relationship developed. Nehrlk Is the father by marriage of tho wom an once his wife, be Is the grandfather of his own daughter, while his son is stepfather to the child as well as her brother. Mrs. Nehrik Is mother-in-law to her husband. Mrs. John Nehrlk. divorced wife of Edward, filed the In sanity papers against him. In 1900 she wedded Edward Nehrik and by the union came a daughter. Pearl. In 1906 she was granted a divorce decree and custody of the child. Nehrlk's son, John, by his first wife, married his father's divorced wife, or his own stepmother. At the hearing the court declared him sane. FATIMA'S HAND AS TALISMAN . A tavorito talisman among the Mo hammedans Is the "Lid el Fatlma" the hand of Fatlma. Mahomet must have reproduced In silver the hand of his favorito daughter, of that Fatlma through whom his blood has descended sven to our days, for ever since then gvery Mohammedan, and especially very Mohammedan woman, has al ways worn a sliver hand. The greater :he glory of the saint w ho consecrated It, the more Intense the magic pow. er of the relic, over those who put themselves under Its protection. IS ALIVE AFTER "FUNERAL" After formal funeral services had been held at his former homo In Washington, and hi3 near relatives had donned mourning for the man supposed to have met his fate and been burled in far-off India, word was received tho other day stating that Pert ft. Emrick, a widely known and well-to-do oil man, was alive and well and was planning to start for home within a lew days. Emrick went to near Slngu, in Upper IJurraah, India, about 18 months ago, for the Hurrnah Oil company. Recently word reached his people by way of tho company of fices that Emrick had been killed by breaking of a cable at one of the wells. It was afterwards discovered that the original report of the tragedy was a mistake. GOING TO COLLEGE AT 80 Mrs. A. D. Winshlp of Racine, Wis., Is the oldest university student In the United States. When Mrs. Winshlp was seventy-eight years old 6he en tered the University of Ohio. She Is now eighty years of age, and has com pleted her freshmen and sophomore years. Her specialty was psychology. At summer school this year Mrs. V,!n hip wod a prize for excellence In he r studies In Japan there is an annual feast day for boys, when each house having male children hangs out strings of pa per carp, which inflated by the breeze become lifelike monster fish. "It was on this feast day," says a writer In the Wide World, "that we left Yokohama for Kamakura, once the eastern capital of Japan, now merely a quiet little seaside village. "As It was such an Important occa sion the whole world made holiday, some families hurried to the seashore to fly their enormous humming kites, from which the parents appeared to derive quite as much enjoyment as the children. The loud hum emitted by the soaring kite as caused by a piece of thin bamboo, which is stretched tightly across from shoulder to shoulder. "This taut bamboo filament not only acts as a aeollan harp but bends the whole kite, so that Us surface is concave Instead of being, as In our kites, a plane. The noise when some threescore or so of these monsters are in the air at the samo time Is deafen ing. "Tho Japanese kite has no tall, but is furnished with numerous long streamers. Great competitions are held by the owners of the kites, and occasionally a mimic battle will be fought in the air, the rival factions en deavoring by means of powdered glass, which has been previously worked into a defilnto length of the kite strings, to saw through a rival's string, and so bring tho vanquished kite tumbling ignominlously to the ground." NEEDLE ENDS LONG TRIP A pair of tweezers were used the other day by Edmund C. Gaskill, a lawyer of Atlantic City, to remove a needle that had been in his body twenty-three years. It had worked its way from his knee to his shoulder. He found it there when bathing the shoulder in the belief he had rheuma tism. ' When eight years old, (Jasklll fell against his mother, who was sew ing, and the needle was Jabbed deep In his knee. A doctor failed to find it. It was forgotten when the puncture healed. That the needle took so long In working through his body may be explained by the fact that he Is six feet eight Inches tall. Tournament Every summer the people of Parl3 and visitors to that city are enter talned by the tournaments on the Seine which have been held for at least CO years. The banks of the river are crowded with spectators and the con tenders for prizes are numerous. The photograph shows one of the tilting contests In which the men with the leng poles endeavor to push each other off tht boats. W VAST RICHES OF CHINA An astonishing Impression of the variety and peculiarity of the natural riches of China is given by the store houses and factories of the Hankow export firms. Whereas the export of tea, the monopoly of a few large Rus sian houses, has for some years re mained almost stationary, tho value of the export of oil seeds from Han kow, to take one example of a com paratively unimportant article, rose from 3.8 million taels In 1907 to 10.5 la 3309 Boats bring wood tar from the up per Yangtze In big round baskets lined with paper to be refined and remelted Jn the factories; they bring astonish ing masses of the greasy product of the tallow tree used in European technical Industries, also cotton and beans, gallnuts, pigs' bristles; also skins, which are sun dried in the yards of the storehous.es and packed by means of hydraulic presses for sea transport. Millions of ducks' eggs are, during the few weeks of tho season, manu factured by the hand labor of coolie women and children Into masses of pure dried yolk and albumen, smelling like biscuits. The albumen is used in the photographic industry, the yolk in the Enropean sweet stuff manufac ture. On the same bank of the Yang tse are the new cold storage houses and the great tobacco factories of for eign firms, and near by are ore refin eries, in which antimony, lead and zinc are prepared for export. LOFTY TOWER TELESCOPE This is the second tower telescop constructed at the Mount Wilson ob servatory, in California, from a new design by Professor Hale. Tho first was 65 feet high, and it was so suc cessful that the larger one here shown was built, which is 150 feet In height, while the well containing the specto graph and spectro-hcliograph Is 75 feet. By the later Instrument photographs can be taken of the whole faco of the sun, showing the vapors across Its disk. The coelostat and secondary mirrors aro mounted at its top, and after reflecting from them the sun's light passes vertically downward on to a lens placed near them on tho top of the tower. A horizontal image of the sun, 17 inches in diameter, is thence obtained in a piano near the ground.

MKMORY VERSES-17-19. GOLDEN TEXT "Hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me." Ezek. 3:17. TIME Ezekiel was carried Into exilo 13. C. 697, In the Becond deportation by Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem; when 10,000 were carried to Babylon with King Jeholachln. Tho prophecy of this lesson was written B. C. 502, five years later. The first 24 chapters of Ezekiel, concern ing the destruction of Jerusalem were written during the 4 years &92-GS8. B. C. 6S8 was the beginning of the last siege of Jerusalem which ended In its complete destruction. PLACE The Book of Ezekiel was writ ten at Tcl-abib ( Cornhill) on tho river Chebar, one of the largo irrigating canals of Babylonia, running across tho plain between the Euphrates und tho Tigris. Ezeklel's name means "God strengthens." lie was a priest, tho son of Buz!, probably a family name. He was also one of the greatest of the prophets. He was probably 30 years old when he began to propht-sy in n. C. 597, which would put the date of his birth in Josiah's reign, about tho time Jeremiah began to prophesy, and flvo years before Josiah's great reformation and the finding of the book of the law. Ho was a married man; and the sudden death of his wife was made by divine instruction a lesson to the peo ple. He went on with his work "with a broken heart, hut an unbroken pur pose." He was a man of power and courage, holding his face as adamant against wrong, but attractive and per suasive in encouraging the people to prepare for their return from exile. He was a man of great imagination, using simile, allegory, parables in ac tion, symbols, symbolic actions. He saw visions, and dreamed dreams. He had spiritual experiences. But be was also the most practical of men. Ezeklel's model heroes were Noah, Job, Daniel. They all had lost their world, but "Noah inaugurated a new world; Job ended by seeing God in the whirlwind." Daniel did great things for his native country in his new country. Ezekiel was an exile, but in that exile was a mighty force In the renewal of his native land. The God of Israel was an invisible God, without any representation to the senses. It was hard for the peo ple to realize his existence and his presence. It is hard for us, but much harder for them. The temple and its ritual were an aid. God's works In nature were his manifestation. The visible effects of obedience, and dis obedience, were revelations of God's nature. Put times of trial and dis aster at first hid his face from them as storm clouds hide the sun. Hence in this dam period Ezekiel was taught to express God's presence, power, glory, goodness, providence, by apocalyptic symbols, 1. e., by symbols which expressed Ideas, but could not be put into any pictorial form which might lead to Idolatry. Tho first chapter is a vision to theso symbols, to make God real to the people; as to Job God made himself known in the whirlwind and the storm. Nothing Is more suitable than that the voice of God should come from tho whirlwind. For air, wind, is one of the chosen symbols of God working through bis holy spirit, as at Pente cost. It is Invisible, as are the great natural forces of the earth. The prophet was presented with a Hebrew roll, tho form in which their books wero made, and was bidden to eat It. Tho roll represented the word cf God, his message to Israel. The prophet's eating the roll meant that ho was to become so saturated with God's message that it would become a part of his very being. This gives us "some guidance in forming a prop er estimate of what is involved In in spiration. The prophet is to absorb into himself what is given him from above, and then give it out with his own lips and in his own language. "It was in my mouth as honey for sweetness," that i3 It was good in It self. But afterwards it became bitter, for It was a terrible message to give to his people, so that God made his face as. adamant harder than flint, for all the house of Israel were impudent and hard-hearted. Ezekiel welcomed the watchman on the walls. He went from trance to action, coming out of the franco, like Teter on the housetop when he went down to the messengers of Cornelius. "And I went In bitterness ... of my spirit," sharing with God hl3 righteous indignation against Israel, or the bitterness of having to deliver such an awful message as he uttered In the following chapters, to his friends and neighbors and country men. So that when he came to them, he remained -there astonished, In a stupor of grief, seven days. Tho watchman's duty Is clearly set forth. He must warn tho pcoplo cf their danger, as by the voice of God. While his business w3 to warn, the results were with God and tho freo will he has given his children. God warns us In love in various ways that wo may not go heedlessly on to our ruin. Ho gives warnings Id our bodies, by sicknesses, pains and weakness, against courses that will rfln tho body, and to teach us to pre pare for death. God gives warnings to the soul, by tho pangs of con science, by troubles and afflictions, to keep us from losing our souls. He warns our country, by discontent, in ternal commotions, by strikes, out breaks, anarchies, war, against tho oppressions, Inequalities, luxury, Irre Mglon, Injustice,-which will bring final ruin unless wo turn from them. BUY SHEEP AND LAMBSN0W Dut Don't Be a Sheep. A COMMON EXPERIENCE. Don't Follow the Crowd. In chasing the market for profit, tho fellows who blindly follow the crowd are generally the ones who get left. The successful man buys when he has the least competition, at the lowest prices and with the greatest margin for profit, which usually brings his selling time during a period of com parative scarcity at market, and he therefore gets higher prices and most always makes a good profit In his dealings. Here's a Chance for Gain. The. present very low market val ues of' feeding sheep and lambs, being less than tho cost of production, of fers such an opportunity to those who aro prepared to properly care for them. Feeders Are Selling Cheap. Well-bred, thin but thrifty lambs of the growing kind can now be bought on the Chicago market for $5.25 to $5.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of sim ilar description, $3.40 to $3.75; year ling wethers, $4.25 to $4.50; yearling breeding ewes, $4.00 to $4. CO, and good feeding ewes at $2.50 to $2.85. These prices are about $1.75 lower than a year ago for feeder lambs, and the lowest since 1904. Feeder sheep prices also are unusually low. Now Is the Time to Buy. In view of the fact that prices of feeder sheep and lambs are, now be low the cost of production, and that present prices of lamb and mutton are out of line with all other meats and must therefore soon rise because of the increased consumption invited' thereby, the conclusion is inevitable that now is the best time to buy feed er sheep and lambs for all those who are ready to prepare them for market during the early part of next year. A leading sheep owner End dealer says: "Fat Is made pretty cheap on the Fall feed that otherwise would be wasted, and the sheep and lamb feeding proposition from the stand point of fertility is worthy of most careful consideration." Buying Legislators In Joblots. One day, writes Sloaue Gordon In Success Magazine, a former member of the Ohio house displayed, Inad vertently, a large roll of bills In tho Nell house lobby. A fellow member gazed In awe at the show of wealth. "I Just sold a drove of hogs," ex plained tho former member rather hastily and confusedly. Tho observing one was thoughtful. Ho did not reply for the half-mljiute usually essential to tho full-measured beat of his mental processes. And then "Yaas," he drawled, "and I'll bet I'm one o' them bawgs."
