How potent is this trait of human mind
The Bible refers to it and o: We're an

"Other Sins Than Ours

Mr.. Proctor, in one of his lectures on the
subject Of "Other Suns than Ours" declared
il q fixed fact that all stars were suns. Eve
ry star visible to the naked eye on the clear
est night was the centre Of system of worlds
like our owR, and although the most power
full telescopes were still unable to reveal the
circling planets. the Imagination could Ger.
tairly discern the millions Of worlds cluster.

sands of bright suns. The nearest star to our
system was Aldebaran, IN the constellation
Centaur, a star only visible in southern lati
tuics. This star was 100000 times as far
from the earth as the sun is aud its size was
muck greater than that of our sun, being about
!, l25 900 miles in diameter.
The next nearest star, Sirius, was much
larger than AldebaraB. Astronomers knew
that this was al least a certain number of
billions Of miles from our system, bu; how
much more distant they could not tell The
lecturer supposed that the progress of life in
this myriad OF worlds was about the same as
il Is in our system, and for every inhabited
world there were thousands of worlds upon
which life was either extinct or had not yet
begun. The thought that death and desola-
ton were SO predominant IN the universe was
not 40 melancholy to the lecturer as il might
be TO many others. The same change was
going.on in the life and death of all these
worlds as Is seen on every hand and among
all things that are at any time endowed with
life and beng

The Prince of Wales and some OF his suite

flowers OF Silence" where the bodies OF the
dead are exposed to be devoured by vultures.
They were the first Europeans who had ever

see sect, who are noted for their rigid exclu-
siveness, and it was something OF surprise
to the natives as well as foreigners that the
permission was granted. The origin of this
singular method of disposal of the dead is
due no doubt TO the veneration with which
the Parsees regard the elements. Fire IS too
pure to be polluted by committing corpses to
the flames; water Is almost equally vencratcd,
and so is mother earth Hence this strange
custom has been adopted, by which It is
thought none of the impurities can pollute
the elements.

Elephants Mt " ork.


A correspondent Of the New York OJser'er
writes
IL was surprised to witness the Intelligence
of some of these useful animals. They are
employed ON the public works, and their en-
ormous strength enables them with apparent
ease to draw stones Of great magnitude, and,
what is more, place them where needed. They
are used in the construction of bridges, and
will work In the water all day They will
push stone as carefully as a gang OF men.
1t Is interesting to see these huge animals
move about until they sc. secure place to
stand, and then exert their amazing strength
in moving a stone Just as the mason waves
his hand. In the large timber yards of India
these useful animals are very extensively
used. II IS only necessary TO watch one for
little while to be satisfied of the wonderful
strength as well as sagacity of these animals
They are employed in drawing and fitting the
huge logs used In ship building. They will
draw large logs over very rough roads
from the forests They will take log weigh
| ing two tons on their tusks, and hold it In its
place with their prOboscis, and carry it ap.
psrently with more ease than fifty coolies
would When one of these sagaclous animals
has brought you log from pile, you may
send him for the next log by merely pointing
at il, and he will toll patiently all day, and
make piles Of logs as nicely as gang of men
could d.. They are always very careful not
to injure their tusks, especially not TO break
them Rear their heads. One man, who had a
large lumber and timber yard, said it took
over year to teach his elephant the lumber
business; but he added, he never forgot.
These trained elephants will sell in India for
from 500 to 1900 rupees each, depending
upon the sagacity Of the animal.

Of The fire spread rapidly, the volumes Of
