Most of the newspapers are experiencing de-
crease In circulstion-the religious weekhes ap-
parently the most Of all. The circula.ions OF
many of the so-called religious weeklies were a
hot-bed growth, ferdlized with chromos and dug
about by special agents, and they 60 down almost
as fast az they went MP. The Christian Witness
of New York acknowledges that ies circulation
has gone down one third, or from $1,000 to CO.
600 since last January. Others would have to
confess as large proportionste reductions il they
had the courage to confess at all.

The California Academy Of Sciences still more

period Of six years. Mr.. StcarnA calls attention
to tho fact that the enatth which, have exhibited

circumstance, Mr.. stcarns concludes that the
