the conclusion that the agitation of the

of the upheaval of mother nature. ' Our

they are trying to do is enough to cause
the earth to ahlver. I really think, un
less some scientist discovers otherwise,
that I will have to believe the earth

the moral depravity which follows the
cigarette habit is something frightful.
Lying, cheating. Impurity, loss of moral
courage and manhood, a complete
dropping of life's standards all along
the lines, are its general results.
A chemist, not long since, vtook the
tobacco used in an average 'cigarette
and soaked It In several teaspoonfuls of
water And then Injected a portion of it
under the skin of a eat. The eat almost
immediately went into convulsions, and
died In 16 minutes. . Dogs have been
killed with a single drop of nicotine.
Cigarette smoking Va no longer simply
a moral question. .. The great business
world has taken it up as a, deadly enemy
of advancement, bf achievement. Lead
ing business firms all over the country
have put the cigarette on the prohibited
list. In Detroit alone, 6t merchants
have agreed not to employ the cigarette
user. In Chicago, Montgomery "Ward

some of the other large, concerna have
prohibited cigarette pmoking among all

. By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory-
Man may have been produced by na
ture, but. now that, he la produced he
la much greater than nature.
. After thousands, perhapa millions, of,
years of "evolution." nature has. Anally '
evoluted a creature that Is much wiser
than herself, and that . In his - cunning
Improves upon her in ' many ways.
As proof of the truth of this state,
ment witness the refrigerator, the annl
hllator of climate, the arrangement by
which, summer 'a heat la neutralised, and -the.
erlap air of December Is made to '
prevail midst the sultry heat of Jury.
The Inventor of the first Ice machine -was
a Frenchman named Carre. . Carre
brought out his invsntlen in this coun
try in the year 1860, thus founding the .,
so-called -"ammonia absorption process." .
In this process a solution of aqueous
ammonia Is employed, being first gener- "
ated as a araa. then condensed and the
i alio wed to expand and absorb -the J
- Ammonia bolls at the low temperature .
of ,28 H F. It Is, . therefore, very easy
to convert It from the liquid form Into
a gas, and this change "raises the pres
sure of the. ammonia very materially;
then by leading the ammonia through
pipes that are kept coid by flowing cold
water the ammonia can be again eon
densed. - - - ';,.'-.. v'
There Is also the "compression" sys
tem, which haa proven Itself to be more ;
convenient tf not more practicable thari,.
the absorption process:
In this, ammonia is allowed to ex
pand Into a gas, and Is subjected ' to .
pressure by- means -ef a steam - pump.
This compression lnoreases the heat -of
the ammonia gas, and by then pain
ing the ammonia through oolls of pipe
and making it cold again, the ammonia,
ts .reduced -,to the condition- where Jt -seeks
to regain its heat.
