Baptist Campaign Bcu Put $4,000,000 Into Care of South's Orphan ?

Of the $48,500 000 that has been collected in cash* on the Baptist 75 Million Campaign to January 1, 1924, the sum of $7,732,831.53 has gone to such benevolent work as caring for " orphan children, healing the sick and ministering to aged, worn-out preach ers, it is announced by the head quarters of the Campaign. ??,000,000 Went to Orphanages. More than half of the benevolent fund, or $3,999,192.63, has gone to the 11 Baptist orphanages of the. South, two of which have been established aa? a result of this movement and all ?f which have been greatly helped by this forward program. Nearly 4,900 orphan boys and girls are be ing boused, fed, clothed, educated] and trained for Christian citizenship in these orphanages and the Cam paign has put between $800,000 and $900,000 into the maintenance of these institutions each year. The orphanages are now caring for more children than their normal capacities permit, but despite this extra effort the Institutions have been compelled to turn down the applications of 2,000 Other orphan boys and giris, simply because there was no room for them. Sick and Suffering Aided. Large advance has been made In the ministry of Southern Baptists to the sick and suffering during the four years of the Campaign. At the time this movement was inaugurated Southern Baptists were operating twelve hospitals. The number now la operation has grown to 22, six others are practically completed and #eady for service, while two more have been projected. At the time the Campaign began the value of flOafeera Baptist? hospital property was 12,227,000, while today it has grown to approximately 29,000,000 among the institutions already in op eration. The number of hospital beds has increased from 1,023 to ? 3,000. 'During the four years of the Cam paign a total of 170,000 patients hare been treated in these hospitals. Ap proximately 31,000,000 worth of char ity service has been performed there for needy but deserving per sons. 925 Old Preachers Helped. Into the work of ministerial relief the Campaign has put the sum of 11,440,133.31. More than $500,000 has been put into supplying the needs of aged and dependent minis ters and their families. This, repre senting the efforts of foqr years, is far more than Southern Baptists had ever done for old preachers in all their history prior to the launching "?* " m J At the or THIS lurwm u luuTcwut. same time the Relief and Annuity Board has gathered an interest-bear ing endowment and sinking fond for relief alone of more than $450,000, and has gathered for its annuity work an interest-bearing endowment and sinking fund of more than $1,1Q0,000. Today 925 beneficiaries are carried on the rolls of the Relief and Annuity Board. An effort is being made to bring the 75 Million Campaign to a suc cessful completion during 1924, it if announced by the headquarters or fice, and forces are at work in over state in the territory of the Southern Bapist Convention with a view to enlisting the churches in the imme diate discharge of the task they as sumed in this five-year movement ??????????????????m ^ ?. . ?WW mil ? ? i i ? ^ ?* Home of Mocha Coffee. 2U2 the gennlne Mocha coffee ant (bo skins known to the trade as mo miles tec running1 from Aden to La? hey, baa bees opened.

The fine equestrian statue of King Charles I, which was hlddeh in London for protection daring the war, has beea brought to light again. The statue, which was cast during the reign of the monarch, according to reports has fit enjoyed the uneventful career per mitted to most works of Its kind. It was executed for Sir Richard Weston, afterward earl of Portland, who in- j tended to place it as an ornament la his garden at Rochaxnpton. But this function it never fulfilled, for It was seised by parliament during the Civil war and sold to one John Rivett,, a braaler, to be broken up. JobD, how ever, being a royalist, bid the statue, and, by selling hundreds , of bronst knife handles purporting to be made from it. disarmed any parliamentary suspicions in the matter. On the res* toration of Charles n in 1080 Rivett produced the statue, which was claimed by Sir Richard's son. The brazier refused to yield it, and after years of dispute It was eventually pre sented to King Charles II and erected on the spot formerly covered by. the original Charing cross. ' . Antarctic "Shelf Ice." , From the work of recent explora tions, Sir Douglas Mawson concludes that the rock foundation on which the Antarctic ice cap rests is very lrregu iar, partly above sea level and partly below, and that its thickness, which is very variable, may reach a maximum of several thousand feet. Under, the thickest portions the static pressure at the base may be as great as one ton per square Inch. Under such a cover ing there may be a considerable accu mulation of ground heat, and it is as sumed that the under portion of thence mass is undoubtedly soft and piastic. Where the sea breaks up the Ice at a rate faster than the flow, the sea front Is substantially the coast line. But elsewhere, as In the Great Ross barrier and the Shackleton shelf, the supply of ice exceeds the rate of erosion at the sea front, and the overflow from the land maintains a thick sheet of ?*sh.elf ice" extending far ont to sea. The sea front of the ice cap, at the present rate of advance or flowing out, is estimated to have left the center In the seventh century of our era. Flrep roofing Concrete Column*. Vfe have been wont to look upon concrete as capable of resisting; a great deal of beat, and It may seem strange to think of coating It with a fireproof material. However, there are condi tions under which this is necessary. The bureau of standards has been In vestigating the condition of concrete which has passed through conflagra tions, an4 has fonnd that if the con crete 2s made wjth gravel, particularly siliceous gravel, there Is a tendency for the stones to burst In extreme heat, which disintegrates tb$.concrete. Accordingly it is recoumigifoM that gravel be avoided wherevfcr possible, but If Impossible the gravel concrete may be protected from exit^ne bent by coating It with an inch cement '"'Vv T?

This Is to permit It to dry thoroughly. Until the sap has ex hausted itself, the wood to liable to warp. The holding up of large stacks of timber in this way Is expensive and exceedingly tiresome when this wood is required Urgently. Some haw attempted to overcome the difficulty by dehydrating or drying the timber in specially constructed ovens, (jut without much success..: Now a French scientist, IK Otto, !h?/dIscovered that all kinds of wood : can be seasoned rapidly and efficiently;/by means of osone. ? ^ i;l I He hass established a factory in Paris and another at Milan, in Italy, 'where various specie* of wood are being treated by the new process.

Fish and "sea devils" which carry lanterns and electric-like lamps with which to And their way In the coal?' black depths of the ocean are among the hitherto unknown curiosities of na ture brought back by the Danish deep sea expedition under Dr. Johannes Schmidt, the well-known ocean ex plorer. < His ship, the steamer Dana, has just returned to Copenhagen with a vast amount of new data of greatest inter est t? natural scientists and a collec tion of deep-sea inhabitants never be fore seen. r The expedition was particularly equipped With Instalments and appar atus for deep-sea explorations and re<> ords. Hie greatest depth reached was about four miles. Out of the styglan depths of 18,280 feet, or three miles, where eternal, Egyptian darkness reigns, a "sea deyll" was brought up which, on a wire-tike tentacle project ing from his head, had a small spheri cal-ball electrie-Uke lamp. This ball gives a red light when the fish swims. Other fish out of the ocean darkness rhad lantern-like bulbs giving light.

The works, known as the Lake Mentz con servation Works,' are located In the Sunday's River valley near-Port Eliza beth. The union government financed the undertaking to the extent of over 12/500,000 In the interest of land set tlement and to further the develop-' ment of the agricultural resources of the union. The dam Impounds 25,700, 000,000 gallons of water and the area submerged Is 4,900 acres. Subsidiary works lower down the Sunday's river, constructed by private enterprise at a cost of $3,000,000 consist of three di version weirs and canal.^; extending over 40p miles. The scheme aims at intensive cultivation, under perma nent water supply, of an area pf over 40.000 acres. N : "Rebuilding" Carthage.
