The National Child Labor Committee J
call to churches and schools to observe |
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, Jan-J
uary 25th-27th. as Child Labor Days,
* has received the hearty endorsement
i of the Federal Council of the churches;
of Christ in America and of the Social
Service Commission of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of New York.
Bishop Greer says, "Naturally T am;
deeply interested, and am glad 10 en- j
dorse and commend your appeal to the j
clergy of the Diocese,"
, The following letter signed by Shia- j
1-er Mathews, president, and Charles S.
(Macfarland, secretary, of the Federal j
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America, has been sent to one hundred j
state and city Federation* Secretaries,
of the Federal Council.
"By authorization of the Executive;
Committee of the Federal Council and
of the Federal Council's Commission
on the church and Social service, the
call of the National Child Labor com-!
mittee for the observance of the Child
Labor Sunday is commended to your
earnest considertion with thie hope
that, in the way they suggest or by
such other method as may commend
itself to your judgment the subject:
of Child Labor may be fully presented
in all its seriousness to the Christian!
mo and wnmpn of th-e. nation.
IS "At the recent Quadrennial Session |
of the Federal Council, at Chicago,
December 9, 1912, the Council reaffirmed
its declaration of four years j
previous, that the churches must *
stand: *
"For the abolition of child labor.
M 'For" the fullest possible development
for every child, especially by the
provision of proper education and
recreation.
'These two principles ore embodiedj
in the platform of social principles

In urging them to observe Child Labor
Day, the Social Service Commission
i of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
t. New York sends to all the clergy in
' that diocese the following strong re' **'
solutions adopted by the House of!
-Bishops at the last General Conven- '
I s tion, Cincinnaati, in 1910. ;;
.. "Whereas, The-employment of child
dMeii in factories, mines -and shops, re
duces wages to tne cnna's sianaara,
disintegrates the family, deprives the
child of his natural rights to a period
of training and time of play, and depreciates
the human stock; and,
"Whereas, We recognize the responsibility
of the church for our ini
dustrial as well as our spiritual standard;
"Therefore, We call upon employers
and parents to use all influence
toward better legislation and better enforcement
of the laws for the protection
of children, to the end that ex
ploitation of the labor of children
shall become impossible in this Christ*
ian country."
W" To aid in the observance of Child Labor
day, the National Child Labor
Committ e is sending free to all clerp
gymen and school principles who apply
for it, a pamphlet of facts about]
Child Labor. In this the Committee!
prints, among other things, the cfh
sus figures on Child Labor for 1900,
subject, and points, out that the total
number of workers 10?15 years of
age, i,idz,ioi, aoes noi. mciuae me
thousands of newsboys and bootblacks
who w-ere attending school, nor the i
other thousands of children who were;
employed in tenement house mruufacturing.
Also, the estimates of 284,330
children classified as engaged in manufacturing
and mechanical pursuits is
misleading since cannery children
were in many States reckoned as agri- |
cultural workers.
It is expected that in all of the forty- |
three States having legislature sessions
H this winter bills bearing on the Child!
W _ Labor problem will be introduced.

Southeastern States Lead.
P
Washington, D. C., January 20.?!
President Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, commenting upon record
of cotton mill construction duri
ing the calender year 1912, said:
"The Southeastern States led all
other sections of the country in cotton
mill development in 1912. There were
37 new mills built in the United States
I during the year. Of these 20 were in
I the Southeastern States. Out of 533,fr
300 new spinales 427,000, or 80 per
L cent, were in Southeastern mills, and
ft out of 9,774 new looms, 6,450, or G6
ir per cent, were in Southeastern mills.
These figures refer only to new mills
and take no account of the large addirtions
made during the year to existing
plants by which the manufacturing
capacity of the section was largely
increased. The aggregate increase
has been so great as practically to
^ insure the maintenance of the record
/
made by the cotton-producing states
in the year ended August 31, 1912.
\vh 11 the mills of the South consumed
more cotton than those of all other
sections of the I'nited States.

Bismarck was no favorite with "women,

dared to think for themselves and
imagine that they could fathom questions
of state. He was never tired ^
,of snubbing strong-minded ladies, put- ^
^ting them down and. stamping on them.
- One day he paid a visit to the Russian
embassy at Berlin, where he be

tress of the house, the Countess
JSchouvaloff herself. He took his ]
leave at length, to the relief of every- 1
body, and presently the family mastiff \
was heard barking at the great man as 1
he passed through the courtyard. Im- j
mediately the countess ran to thei <

Receipts of Longevity.
The late John Bigelow, the patriarch
of diplomats and authors, and
the no less distinguished physician
and author, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, were
together several years ago at West
Point. ' Dr. Bigelow was then ninetytwo
and Dr. Mitchell eighty.
The conversation turned to the subject
of age. "I attribute my many ?
years," said Dr. Bigelow, "to the fact ,
that I have been most abstemious. I
have eaten sparingly, and have not ,
used tobacco, and have taken little
exercise.
"It is just the reverse in my case,"
explained Dr. Mitchell. "I have eaten
just as much as I wished, if I could
get it: I have always used tobacco,
immoderately at times; and I have always
taken a great deal of exercise."
With that, ninety-two years shook
his head at eighty years ana said,
"Well, you will never live to be an
oid man."?Lippincott's.

DIGGING FOIJ A METEOR.
One Worth Billions of Dollars Believ- f
ed to be in Arizona.
Several years ago a syndicate of
mining men began sinking a shaft in
Arizona to reach the largest diamond
in the- world, believed to be no less .
than half a mile thick. This shaft is
now 1,600 feet deep. Three or four
hundred feet more, it is expected, will
reveal the great prize.
The scene of this most wonderful
mining operation is Meteor Mountain,
Ariz. The mountain is such in name, :
<only, as it is little more than a butte,
^rising 200 or 300 feet above th-e desert,
i
about ten miles from Canyon Diabolo j
station, on the Sante re ranroau.
. Viewed from a distance Meteor j
Mountain looks little different from
the countless other butte's that rear _
their heads above th? southwestern
desert. But as soon as one begins to ,
climb its sides, strewn with meteoric
fragments, he realizes that he is on the '
threshold of one of the world's great^
I
scientific mysteries.
From the top of the "mountain" one
gazes into a bowl-like depression in
the -; arth 600 fret deep and a mile I
acro-s. It is in appearance like a vol-:
::anic crater.
Scientists agree that this crater |
marks the place where a giant met-;
^orite, as large as the circumference of
he bowl would indicate struck th-i
*arth in ages i;a?T, perhaps a million of i
rears ago, and buried it -elf deep into I
rhe bowels of tlu> arth?just how deep!
:r is the purpose of ill - mining syndi-!
it'1 to find out.
When this giant mass struck the I
?arth there was no butte there; the!
buue was creat-d when the meteoritestruck,
its tremendous weight di?plac-i
ing strata of rock, sending huge clouds j
Df dust into the air and forming the |
'mountain" as it exists today.
After the meteorite sank into the,
?arth tbv sand and dust settled into!
be depression. The drift of ages sift-j
over the edges of the huge bowl and!
is-iskd in the work of covering the!
neteorite.
But the most remarkable thing about
his meteorite, apart from its prodigious
size, is the fact that in a1! prob-!
I
ibilitv it consists of one huge diamond! j
This \i inl" rred from the fact that!
uimerous large fragments of the rae-i
r-orife found in the crater, and which j
ire unusually heavy, were found, upon j
nwstigation, to contain, besides me-j
:eoric iron, large, hard black diamonds j
>r great value.
Even if the meteor itself consists
only of black diamonds its value would
)e quite inconceivable, for a good black
iiamond, though worthless as a gem,
s worth even more than a white one
:'or mechanical purpoSes. It is quite
probable, however, that the bulk of
:he meteor consists of white diamond,
ii which event there would not be
mough money in the world to pay for
t at the current price of the precious
>tone.
The largest diamonds n the world,

;he Great Mogul of Russia, the Orioff,
he Great Premier diamond, the Tiffany
liamond, the Etolie Polaire, and a doz*n
others of the same standard, worth
n the aggregate hundreds of millions
)f dollars, might all be placed together
n an ordinary derby Hat and not reach
:he top. This meteoric diamond, scien:ists
believe, must be at least half a
nile thick!
Made of< Calfomia Redwood.
The California redwood- is constantI
;* f '
y gaining in popularity in the manufacture
of incubators and brooders,
md indeed no lumber is more suitaDle
for the purpose. This popularity
:s due to the fact that it is suscepuDie i
}f very fine finish and its adaptation |
to "all changes and condition of climate.
The Petaluma Incubator company
was the first to see the advantages
of the use of Calfornia redwood,
as in fact, many years ago, they were
the' first to begin the manufacture of
Incubators. The "Petaluma" is the
pioneer hatching machine. Its incubator
antedates that of any other on the
market, and to them, therefore, and
to the energy, persistence and patience
of their Mr. L. C. Bvce, is du-e
the credit, to a very large extent, of I
the development of incubators and
brooders to the extent which exints*
at this time. They have a very inter
esting booklet "How it all came- about," j
giving some facts' in the industry, a
copy of which they will very gladly
send upon receipt of your request.
Address them at -either of their offices,
Box 356 Indianapolis, Ind. or Box 300,
