WHY DEATH ENDS ALL.
A Scientific Refutal of the Theory
of Hereafter.

In commencing his lecture last
night in Mercantile Library Hall on
"Why Death Ends ALL" Professor
Porter of New York said that though
1t had been prophesied that the
work. would be annihilated yester-
day, still it remained whole and en-
tire. The lecturer then announced
that he would furnish scientific
refutal of the thereafter theory"
Two skeletons, one of a male and
the other Of female, which were
suspended by rope, were frequent
ly referred to by the lecturer in his
arguments. "Man boasts of his
power" said he, "but he has no con-
troll whatever over his life. He
knows not how long he will live;
when, where or how he will die; all
he knows is that he must die. When
he dies he is no more, and for HIM
death ends all. The Christian re-
ligion inculcates the doctrine that
after death the soul of each person
will pass into eternal beautitude or
torment. This doctrine is prepos
ferrous. Mans mission in this world
is to struggle for the necessarles OF
life, ter food and raiment. Death
enos all for him, and the component
parts of his body go to give life to
Vegetation. AS man is not immortal
before birth, it is not logical to state
that he will be so after death. The
doctrine of resurrection is not tena-
BILE, as the body of man after his
death decays and enters into other
substances, it cannot be resuscitated.
Nothing is more absurd than the doc
trine of heaven. We hear that there
is singing and music there. Proba-
bly, a cornet player would have a
show tor job there.
After the lecturer had concluded
a gentleman by the name of Wilson
arose and said that the speaker had
not proved, as he had said be would,
by science that there was no here
after. Mr.. Porter replied by saying
that he thought he had proved it,
and that he would continue the sub
ject in the future.

The Bible Revision.

Rev. C. v. Anthony lectured last
evening at Central NJ. f. Church on
the revision of the Bible. AS a
whole, the new work received his
unqualified Endorsement, though he
was of the opinion that many chang
es were uncalled for and unauthor
lied. 81 regret" said he, "tbat
there was not standing rule that
no change should be made without
the unanimous vote of all Interested
IN the revision of the Bible" The
greatest mistake that has been made
by the public, the speaker thought,
was that the protestsnts had adopted
a new Bible, whereas they still re
tain the old Bible, revised aud i'm
proved. Mr.. Anthony also said that
he had been informed That Catho-
lie priest had asserted that the re-
vision of the Protestant Bible was
a clear demonstration of he insta
bility of Professionalism, which he
considered point not we'll taken, as
the mere change of the phraseology
of the Bible was not indicative of a
decline of Professionalism. The loct'
urer commended that while the Bible
was beyond doubt the inspired work
of God, still the language was man 8
and therefore defective, hence the
necessity OF periodical changes and
revisions OF the Bible.

Englishmen's Heads Growing
Smaller.

English medical men are puzzled
to know how it is that English era
NUNS are diminishing in size. The
testimony of the hatters is that they
sell more hats of small size than they
did a few years ago, and the infer.
ence to be drawn from the statement
must be either that large heads are
becoming smaller, or that new heads
are not so large as old fashioned
heads are. A Manchester paper
thinks that over study reduces the
size of the head, but this theory con.
tiicts with the view of other medical
men, that q large amount of work
imposed upon any part OF the body
causes the development rather than
the contraction OF that portion OF the
human anatomy. 1t is to be hoped
that the phenomenon will be inquir-
ed into. Scientific men should not
allow so important matter to battle
them. The have already found
what causes heads to swell, surely
they will discover why some heads
are contrac ing.

WHOsCAN LOCATE?

It has been asked if the locations
of minors or married women in min
ing claims are good under the u. s.
Mining Law. As all citizens of the
United States are entitled by the
law to locate mining claims, minors
who are children of citizens and
married women who are wives of
citizens, being citizens themselves,
are entitled to locate and hold min.
ing claims. These questions have
been asked by parties wishing to 10
cate their own family in order to
hold as much of lode as possible.
Tho United States Mining Law,
however, does not limit a locator to
one claim ON lode. 1t only speci
tles that a locator may locate not
more than 1900 feet in one claim
and when the local District Laws do
not make the Limitation there is
nothing to prevent the same person
from making as many locations as
he pleases.

first demurred as became modest

was even so accommodating as to

DOtfTe CO2tltt2y.

Dodge county in the official report
recently published by the State Beard of
immigration is described as follows:
One of the most valuable and promi-
nent counties in Wisconsin, owing not
only to its fine, fertile soil, but also to
its great iron mines at Iron Ridge It
will be remembered by the reader that
this was the place spoken of as supply
ing much of the ore used in the extern
sive rolling mills at Milwaukee. There
are in Dodge county 100000 acres of
land mostly under cultivation, worth
$50 per acre. The easterly portion of
the county shows fine oak and maple
forest. The population is 1929 and
numbers many Germans, the eastern
part particularly, but there are numer-
Gus Scandinavians, Englishmen and
Irishmen who have located here also. The
county has good railroad facilities. The
county seat is Juneau, in the middle of
the district, and the chief city is Beaver
Dam, place OF 3,416 inhabitants, with
a number of manufacturing establish
ments. Horizon, Fox Lake, (near Fox
Lake, large body Of water,) Mayville,
Lowell, Hustisford, and Theresa are
other prominent places, and parts of
Watertown and Waunun are included in
the county. Rock and Beaver rivers
flow through the county, giving admir-
able water power for all kinds of manu-
featuring purposes. A seminary for
ladies is located at Fox Lake.
