TLo board of review Is a formal nml
llgnlfied body connected with the board
ef ordnance and presided orcr by Gen
eral Miles, to which Is i of erred all sug
gestions for new weapons or other war
like dovices either for offense or defense.
To It go nil the Inventors with their lat
est Ideas for wiping out nrmles at a blow
or for destrnj lug n navy In the twinkling
of an eyp. While such demoniac schemes
cannot bo used under The Hague ngice
went, even If practical, (hey are interest
ing na showing what tho human mind can
devise.
That there is a huge crop of Ingenious
and bloodlhluty Inventors Is proved by
the annual icport of the board of ord
nance, In which nro listed nil tho sugges
tions which have been considered by
them. If one of these reports should fall
uto the hands of tho military nttache of
liuitNiva A city with a sukoiss.
a foreign coL'rnniciit, he would un
doubtedly realize tho folly of spending
more million'. In the conktiiiction of ordi
nary warships and cannon nnd would ad
vise his government of the folly of at
tempting to fight Undo Sum once ho gets
thcee new Iile.is Into shapo.
Take, for Instance, says the Chlcnco
Tribune, the suggestion of Mr. W. B.
Herman, lie is evidently ot tlic opinion
that the best tactics in war Is to carry
destruction Into the limit ot the enemy's
country. If Unglaiul, for onmplo, should
he our opponent, ho would take half a
dnzau men, a balloon nnd one ot bis big
tunglasscs. lie would sail ncrosn tho
ocean either In tho air or on the water,
go up In the. balloon, wait for a bright,
lunshhiy day nnd then turn his giant
tung'ass on the city of Loudon. Instan
taneously, ns Mr. Herman Is confident,
tho metropolis nnd Its pcoplo would begin
to smoke. Soon they would catch lite,
and a conflagration would bo started
which would cull tho British fleet back
homo at the double quick. In the case
of London, It Is admitted, the prevalence
of fogs might make the use of the sun
glasses somewhat visionary, but the sumo
objections would not apply to Paris, Ber
lin or any other of tho great world capi
tals. Strangely enough, the shortsighted
board of ordnance mid fortification could
not see Its wiy clear to recommending
tho adoption of this suggestion.
F, Ilossi, on the other hand, is nn in
ventor who believes In meeting the for
eign powers at their own game and beat'
lag them at It. If n big fleet should come
over to bombard the eastern coast of tho
United fitatc, Mr, Itossl suggests that n
number of "dbappcaring warships" bo
sent out to ghc them battle Uiifoitu
natrly the report of the board docs not
make It clear Just how Mr. Hossl pre
poses to make his vessels disappear, Tho
only plon which uppenls to tho casual
reader as fenslblo Is so to arrange mut
ters that tho defending fleet shall ball
aulctly out and surprise the enemy. Then
filing a teniae volume before tho hated
too shall have time to load Its guns, each
of the defending ships should dive under
neath the wnter, disappearing from sight
entirely. After remaining benenth tho
suifacc until the enemy has again been
lulled Into n senhoof fancied scctulty the
fleet might rlso again nnd delher another
blow. It Is charitable to supposo that
the board had no denier Idea of tho
workings of Mr. Bossl's "disappearing
warship," for tho only cpltuph It has In
the annual reppit nro tho two words,
"Not recommended."
No less than 111 patriotic Inventors,
inxlous to savo their country from ell
danger of Rttack by a foreign foe, sub
mitted plays for tljlng miuhlncs, air
ships, balloons nnd other devices from
which death und destruction could bo
hurled down on an approaching enemy.
One of the airship projectors was a wom
an and her plau sounded no feasible that
It was refer) oil to the chief signal officer
for fuither Investigation. An idea much
favond hi tho luventais was that of a
device, guided from tho rrouud, but car
rying no men, which wn-hd take up a
large number of dynamlto shells high into
the ulr and travil with them until direct
ly above an enemy's army or battleships.
By up automatic dolco the bombs would
bo then relented to wreak havoc as they
strike the earth or wnter. Several sub
mitted plans for making und firing aerial
torpedoes, which bhould duplicate on land
the work which Is doue undtir water by
uch Infernal machines as that which de
stroyed the Maine. Ono plan Includes
the erection of u tull steel tower from the
top of which tbu enemy's position may be
spied out, while at the same time im
mense aerial torpedoes may bo dlschaig
ed, Many if not mont of the airship sug
gestions weie referred for Investigation,
to It would appear that along this line
the ordunnti' boaid has stiong hopes of
fUitusH in (by ui'U future.
But if Boston unil other timid localities
are not yei ttislled they may rertd the
plan uf .JoUu t,cji'lilil and test ,lu abso
lute recur ty Jolin's plun Is simple
one, aofl it Irfonly strange that It has not
ocniripd to nny quv before. In btief.-ho

camo Into sight, but before it rot near
cuough to do execution nlth its long
rnngo guns, he would touch a match to
the floating oil. In other words, he
would set the ocean on fire. Lest any
one should fancy that It might be difficult
to distribute the oil equally another gen
tleman Miggcstt a system of pipe lines
which might run to tho far extremity of
Capo Cod, with discharge stations at fre
quent intervals along the line. The mem
bers of the Chicago fire depaitincnt, who
on several occasions beforo the opening
of tho drainage canal wore called on to
put out tho river, will doubtless give tho
scheme their hearty Indorsement. Whllo
the oil Is burning a number of balloons
might be sent up to n point high above
the smoke and flames, from which thy
could drop their bombs upon the doomed
vessels of the enemy and make his dis
comfiture complete.
Many Inventors have devoted more at
tention to prqvldlng Improved cbclls for
cannon and field guns than to nny other
ono point. One mau wants to fill them
with chloroform and to stupefy a whole
regiment at a time. Another thinks it
would be nn awe inspiring plan to fill
shells with Inflammable oil, so that when
it burst a torrent of flumps would con
sume everything within icRch. Snuff,
which would set tho enemy to sneezing
and so render him harmless; red pepper,
vthich would have a similar but even
more violent effect; a chemical which
would develop gieat clouds of dense
smoke; prussic ncid, which Is the deadli
est poison known, nnd gasoline, the ex
plosive powers of which arc painfully fa
miliar to many house whey, are among
the materials suggested as filling for
shells. Not ono cl these stnitllng sug
gestions seems to have met with favor at
tho hands of the board, though ridicule is
admitted to bo one of the most deadly of
weapons, and certainly nothing could bo
more ridiculous, for Instance, than a
whole army sneezing violently from tho
combined effect of n rapid discharge ot
suufT and red pepper shells.
Most .terrible of all s the Idea of n man
who has n scheme for bottling lightning..
This terrifying product he would use in
loading fchells, which he calls "lightning
balls," Their effect on even the bravest
enemy, particularly If uccompanlcd by
ht.igu thunder, can hardly be imagined.
As a means of' further improving the
artillery nrm of tho sen ice John Crad
dock thinks four corneicd Bhells should
be adopted In place of tho present round
or rjlindilcni shapes. Ills squnio sheila
would not glance as do the present mod
els, but would penetiate on the first Im
pact, Along the same line John Kauck
suggests four cornered bullets, which,
instead of boring a round hole through n
square man. would porfoiute all alike

(Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1900.
W.asujnoton, Feb. 18. This sermon
of Dr. TAlinage presents a gospel for
Ulils life as well' as the nest nnd shows
what religion doos for tho prolonga
tion of envtlily existence; text, Psalm
xcl, 10, "With long life will I satisfy
him."
Through the mistake of Its friends
religion has been chiefly associated
with sickbeds nnd graveyards. Tho
whole subject to many people Is odor
ous with chlorine nnd carbolic acid.
There aro people who cannot pro
nounce the word lcllgton without hear
ing In It the clipping chisel of the
tombstone cutter. It Is hjgt) time that
this thing wcro changed find that re
ligion, Instead of being represented as
a hoarse to cairy out the dead, should
be represented us n chariot In which
tho living are to triumph.
Religion, so far from subtracting
from one's vitality, Is a -glorious addi
tion. It Is sanative, curative, hygienic.
It Is good for tho eyes, good for the
ears, good for tho spleen, good for tho
digestion, good for the nerves, good
for tho musclos. When David, In an
other part of the Psalms, prays that
religion niny bo dominant, be does not
speak of It as a mild sickness or an J
emaciation or an attack of moral and
spiritual cramp. Ho speaks of It as
"the saving health of all nations,"
while God In the text promises lon
gevity to tho pious, saying, "With long
life will I sotlnfy him,"
The fact Is that men and women dlo
too soon. It 13 high time that religion
Joined the hand of medical science In
attempting to Improve human longev
ity. Adam lived 030 years; Methuse
lah lived 000 yearn. As late In the his
tory of the world ns Vespasian there
wero at onu tlmo In his empire 45 peo
ple 135 yenrs old. So far down as tho
bxtccnth century Peter Zartnn died at
1S5 years of nge. I do not say that re
ligion will ever take the race back to
antediluvian longevity, but I do say
that tho length of human life will bo
greatly improved.
It Is eald Id Isaiah Ixv, 'JQ, "The child
shall die 100 years old." Now, If, ac
cording to Scripture, tho child Is to bo
100 yeors old may not tho men nnd wo'
men roach to 300 nnd 400 and 500? The
'fact Is that wo are mere dwarfs nnd i
skeletons compared with some of the
generations that are to come. Tako
tho African race. They hnvo been un
der bondngo for centuries. Give them
n chance, nnd thoy develop a Tous
saint l'Ouverture, And If the whlto
raco shall bo brought out fidm under
tho serfdom of sin whnt shall bo the
body, whnt bhnll ho the soul? rteliglon
hns only Just touched our world. Glvo
It full power for a few centuries, and
who can tell what will bo tho strength
of man and the beauty of worann and
tho longevity of all?
rrlenil ot Lonirovltr.
My design Is to show that practical
religion Is the friend of longevity. I
piovo It, first, from tho fact that It
makes tho care of bur health a posltlvo
Chrlstlun duty. Whether we shall keep
curly or lato hours, wuother wo shall
tako food digeatlblo or Indigestible,
whether theio shall bo thorough or In
complete mastication, uro questions
ery often referred to tbo realm of
whimsicality, but the Christian mau
lifts this whole problem of health luto
the nccouutable anil tho divine. Ho
says, "God has given me this body,
und he hns called It tbo temple of tbo
Holy Ghost, und to deface Its altars or
mar Its walls or crumble Its pillars Is
u God defying saorllege." Ho seen
uoira eniigrnpuy in every page ana-
tnmlpfll nml nlivutnlnptpnl 1T anve
"God baa then mo a wonderful body
for noblo nurnoses ." That . ,-m with
for noblo purposes." That arm with
32 ciirlouti boues wielded by 10 curious
muscles, and nil under tho brain's teleg
raphy Ht!0 pounds of blood rushing
through tho heart overy hour, tho limit
In 21 hours boating 100,000 tlnies, dur
ing tho same time tho lungs taking In
r7 hogsheads of air, and all this moch
nnlsni not moro mighty than delicate
and easily disturbed and demolished.
The Christian man says to himself,
"If I hurt my nerves. If 1 hurt my
brnln, If I, hurt nny of my physical fac
ulties, I Insult God nnd cnl for dire
retribution." Why did God tell tho
Levltcs not to offer to him In sacrifice
nnlmnls Imperfect and diseased? Ho
meant to tell us lu nil the ngOB that wo
are to oiler to God our very best phys
ical condition, and a mnn who thruugh
Irregulnr or gluttonous eating ruins
bis health Is not offering to God such a
sacrifice. Why did Paul write far his
cloak at Troas? Why' should such a I
great mau ns Pan bu anxious about a I
thing bo Insignificant as im ovorcoat?
It was bectuiHO ho knew thnt with
pneumonia and rheumatism be would
not bo worth half as much to God and

whole subject if physical health to tho
realm of whimsicality or to the pastry

you aro not acting like a Christian.

nud palpitation of the heat l, which
you think came from God, when tbuy
came from your own tally.
W bet right ban ,&uy men or vtwatu
to deface the tiuul of tbo Holy
Ghost? Whnt Is tho ear? Why, t I
tho whispering sallery of the human
soul. What Is h'oyu? It Is the ob
survntory God constructed. Its tele
scope sweeping th heavens", So won
acrnil are those bodies that God names
his own attributes after different parts
of them. II J b omniscience It Is God's
eye. Ills omnipresence It Is God's
ear. His omnipotence It Is God's nrm.
Tho upholstery of the midnight heav

Ills llfo giving power It Is the breath
of the Almighty. Ills dominion "tho
government shall be upon his shoul
der." A body so divinely honored and
so divinely constructed, lot us bo care
ful not to abuso It.
Christian Duty.
Whcu It becomes a Christian duty to
lake caro of our health, Is not tho
whole tendency toward longevity? If I
toss my watch about recklessly and
drop It on tho pavement and wind It
up any tlmo of day or night I happen
to think of It, nnd often let It run
down, while you are careful with your
watch nnd never abuse It and wind It
up Just at tho same hour every night
nnd put It In a plnce where It wllknot
suffer from the -violent changes of at
mosphere, which watch will lasi tho
longer? Common sense answers. Now,
the human body Is God's watch. You
see tho hands of tho watch. You seo
the face of tho watch, but the beating
of the heart Is the ticking of the watch.
Oh, be careful and do not let It run
down!
Again, I remark thnt practical reli
gion Is a friend of longevity In the fact'
that It Is a protest against dissipations
which Injure nnd dcstioy tho health.
Bad men nnd women live n very abort
life. Their, sins kill them. I know
hundreds of good old men, but I do not
know half a dozen bad old men. Why?
They do not get old. Lord Byron died
at Mlssolongbl at 30 years of age, him
self his own Mazeppa, bis unbridled
passions the horse that dashed with
him Into tho desert. Edgar A. Poo
died at Baltimore at 3S yenrs of nge.
The black raven that alighted on the
bust above bis chamber door was de

Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon Bonaparto lived only Just
beyond midlife, then died at St Hel
ena, and one of his doctors said that
his disease was Induced by excessive
s mull tig. The boro of Austorlltz, tho
man who by ono step of his foot In tho
center of Europe shook the earth, kill
ed by a snuffbox! Oh, how many peo
ple wo have known who have not lived
out half their days because of their
dissipations and Indulgences. Now
practical religion Is n protest against
all dissipation of nny kind.
"But," you say, "professors of reli
gion have fallen, professors of rellglou
have got drunk, professors of religion
bavo misappropriated trust funds, pro.
lessors of religion lme absconded."
ics, uut tncy tnrow nwny tneir reli
gion before tbey did their morality. If
a man on n White Star line steamer
bound for Liverpool lu mid-Atlantic
Jumps ovcrbonid and Is drowned, Is
that anything ngalnst the Whlto Star , religion tenches that tbo bad and tho

Christian mau, walked npng by that
unhappy one until you came to tho
golden pillar of the Christian life. You

Tunt ' the difference between you.
Ob, If this rellglou Is a protest against
all forms of dissipation thpn It Is an Il
lustrious friend of longevity I "With
long llfo will I satlRfy him."
Again, religion Is a friend of longev
ity In the fact thnt It takes the worry
out of our tempoialltlcs. It Is not vyorlc
that kills men; It Is worry. When n
man becomes a genulno, Christian, ho
makes over to God not only his n flec
tions, but his family, his business, his
reputation, ills body, his mlud, his soul
oerytblng, Industrious ho will be,
but never worrying, because God Is
muunglug his affairs. How can he
worry nbout business when In answer
to bis prayers God tells blm when to
buy nnd when to sell, nnd, If he goln,
thnt Is best nnd, If he lose, that Is best?
Suppose you had a supernatural
neighbor who enme In nud said; "Sir,

turn out n beautiful result, and while I

quisite fabric an old Scripture passage
comes Into my mind "All things work
together for good to them who lovo
God." Is there not rest In that? Is
there not tonic In that? Is there not
longevity In thnt?
Suppose n man Is all the tlmo worried
about his reputation. One man says ho
lies, another says ho Is stupid, another
says he Is dishonest, nnd half a dozen
printing establishments attack blm,
and he Is In a great state of excite
ment and worry tnd fume nnd cannot
sleep, but religion comes to htm and
says: "Man. God Is on your side; ho
will take caro of your reputation. If
God bo for you, who can be against
you?" How much should that man
worry about his reputation? Not
much. If that broker who some years
ago In Wall street, after he bad lost
money, sat down and wrote a farowell
Jettor to his wife before ho blew bis
brains out; if Instead of taking out of
his, pocket a pistol he bad taken out n

havo been ono less suicide. Oh, nervous

25 years longer under Its soothing
por it Is not chloral that you want
or u.jrphlne thnt you want; It Is tho
gospel of Jesus Christ "With long
llfo will I satisfy him."
Again, practical religion Is a friend
of longevity In tho fact that It re
moves all corroding care about a fu
ture existence. Every mnn wnuts to
know what Is to become of him. If
you get on board a roll train, you want
to know nt what depot It Is going to
stop. If you get on board a chip, you
want to know Into what harbor It Is
going to run, aud If you should tell me
you have no Interest In what Is to be
your future destiny I would In as po
lite n way as I know how tell you I
did not bellevo you. Before I had this
matter settled with reference to my
future existence, tho question almost
worried me Into ruined health. Tho
anxieties men have upon this subject
put together would mnke a mnrtyr
dom. This Is a state of awful un
healthiness. There are people who fret
themselves to death for-fear of dying.

ments. Experiment the first: When
you go out of this world, Jt does not
mnke any difference whether you have
beeu good or bad or whether you be
lieved tiutb or error. You will go
straight to glory. "Impossible," you
say. "My common heuse as well ab my
"Impossible," you say. "As the tree
falJcth so It must He, and I cannot
postpono to nn Intermediate 'stnto that
reformation which ought to have been
effected la this state." Experiment
the third: There Is", no future world.
When a man dies, that Is tho last of
lilm. Do not worry about what you
arc to do In another state of being, you
will not do anything. "Impossible,"
you say. "There Is something that
tells mo thnt death Is not the appendix,
but tho preface. Theio Is something
that tells mo that on this side of tho
grave 1 ouly get started and that 1
shall go ou forever. My power to
think says 'forever,' ray affections eny
'forever,' my capacity to enjoy or suf
fer 'forever.' "
Well, yog defeat me In my three ex
pcilments. I havo only one more to
make, and If you defeat me In that I
am exhausted. A mighty ono on a
knoll back of Jerusalem one day, the
skies filled with forked Ilghtnlugs and
the earth filled with volcanic disturb
ances, turned his pnle and agonized
face toward tho heavens and said; "I
tako the sins and sorrows of the ages
Into my own henrt. I am tho expia
tion. Witness earth aud heaven and
hell, I am the expiation." And tho
hnmmer struck him and tho spears
punctured lilm. and heaven thundered,
"The wages of sin Is death!" "The
soul that stnneth It shnll die!" "I will
by uo means clear the gnlltyl" Then
thero was silence for hnlf an hour, and
the lightnings wore drawn back Into
the scabbard of the sky nnd the earth
t ceased to quvor and nil the colors of
, the sky began to shift themselves Into
a rainbow woven out of the falling
, tears of Jesus, and there was red r.i
0f tbo bloodshcddlng and thero waa
blue ns of the bruising and there wns
' green as of tbo heavenly foliage and
thero was orange as of tho day dawn,
And along the lino of the blue I saw
tho words, "I wns bruised for their In-
Iqultles." And along the lino of tho
red I saw tho woids, "The blood of
Jesus Christ clcanseth from all sin."
And along, tho line of the green I saw
tho words, "The leaves of tho tree of
llfo for the healing of the nntlous."
And along tho lluo of tho ornnse 1 saw
the words, "Tho day spring from on
high hath visited us."
Rnlt Worrrlns.
And then I saw tho atoiin wna over,
and the rainbow rose higher and high
er until It seemed retreating to an
other hcaen nnd planting ono column
of (s colore ou ono sldo the eternal hill
and plautlng tho other column of Its
colors on the other side tho eternal hill.
It roso upward and upward, and, be
hold, thote was a rainbow about tho
throne.

A Iilttle Story Incidental to
Very
Lnuilitulc r.flort.
Efforts have beeu mudo lately to In
troducc the works of as many Amer
ican authors, especially Chicago writ
ers, as possible to the public school
childicu. This Is what Is happening ta
Stanley Waterloo's "Ab."
"H'ra! Some moro of that supple
mentary literature ?"sulffod Mrs. Smith
crs as Dthyl Smltbers enmo homo from
the Hyde Park High school with a new
book under her urim
"Yessum," said Ethyl as she plump
cd down on tbo sofa nid began to read,
eating six chocolate caramels to a page.
Ethyl wears eyeglasses and has nerv
ous prostration, brought on, so the
school principal says, by pernicious
precocity and overstudy.
"This Is a book that teaches you nil
about tbo cave men In prehistoric times.
It's just nwful good, because you can
get such a lot of Instruction without
even knowing hnrdly that you're get
tlug It," Ethyl volunteered after
awhile.
"Huh!" sniffed Mrs. Smltheis, whe
takes very little stock In the new ed-ucatlon-mnde-easy-nudiuulversul
Idea.
"Yessum, this author believes, you
know, that man came from a monkey,"
"He does, eh?" quelled Mamma
Smltheis, with a glint In her oyc. "Your
pa will like that, won't he?"
"Oh, mn, theia's nothing. personal
about It." explained Ethj l.
"Diirwlu, Is It?" loquhed Mrs. Smith
ers. taking hold of a comer of the book
cautiously.
"Nome; 'Ab, tho Cnvo Dweller,' by
Stanley Waterloo."

"As I wuz n-saylu, contluucd tbe
