A NOVEL SCHEME
FOR Kidding GOVERNMENTS OF UN-
DESIRABLE POPULATION.
A European syndicate Formed for the
Purpose-Opens "A Way for the Poles
-proposaI to Start AN Irish Col
ony in America.

LONDON, Feb. IA financial scheme of
singular design and scope is being con
sidered by capitalists of leading European
cities, and sydcate is said to be forming
with view to carrying out the plan. 1t
is proposed with IA practically unlimited
amount of capital to offer facilities to any
government to get rid of an undesirable
element in its population. An offer will
be made to the German government to
take charge of the practical details of the
intended transfer of land ownership in
Prussian Poland Instead of the govern
ment buying lands and disposing of
them at easy rates to German i'm
migrants, the syndicate will, if its
offer is accepted, purchase lands and offer
substantially the same terms to settlers as
those outlined by Prince Bismarck in his
recent speech on this subject. \ certain
amount of government cooperation would
be necessary in compelling landowners to
part with their holdings at Il fair ap-
praised value, but beyond this the state
would not be asked to assumes any new
burden. Instead of turning small holders
out of house and home compulsorily,
they will be provided with homes else
where.
1t is the design to purchase vast tracts
of land in some country where the pres
ence of the Poles would not be objected to
and to coonize them there. Irish emigra
ton to America is also proposed to he
stimulated, large tracts of land in the
Western States being purchased for colon
ization purposes, the estates of Irish land
lords beng taken over by the syndicate
and their rich lands would be offered to
English settlers II attractive terms.

Holes Into the Invisible World.

Very recently Dr. Macmillan Hern, of
Leipsig, in book called "Vershivinden und
Seine Theorie' advances the extraordinary
theory that there are holes in the visible
world through which men and things fall
into the invisible world, just as sailors go
head first down into the hatchwayS or chill
dren tumble into coal cellars The process, -
says DR.. HCrn, can not proceed gradually,
because there is no possible graduation from
what is material to what is mere vacuity.
These gaps or rents may occur anyW here at
any moment, and whatever happens to be
there when they occur will be snapped up
into empty space-which is the invisible
world-in the twinkling of an eye If the
object chance to he a man, he is resolved
instanter into prmOrdial or elementary
immaterial matter The theory Of radiant
energy helps us, to an understanding Of the
sudden falling or inclosure of a man within
space, 50 that no man, be he asleep or awake
shall be able to find him.
If it We're possible to pump the space per
vading ether ont of a cubic foot of space
as We can pump air out of a cubic foot
of ether, there would be nothing but
space left behind Across this space 1T
light could speed for there woult
be nothing in which those vibrations Of
| TduldiI energy winch We tcIil HSut, coult
be transmitted. Nothing that should fall into
that hole could he seen, since no light coulc
be reflected or omitted from it. A man in
closed in such closet could neither see MOI
he seen, and neither live nor die, for both lif
and death are processes which can only taxi
place where there is force. In such predic
ament the missing man would simply hav
been wiped out-gone with the twining wood
| bine of the universe-thawed, resolved an,
become an invisible, ethereal dew.-Nev

VlVlEN'S SONG TO THE SUN.

The fire of heaven has lill'd the barren cold.
And kindlad all the plain and all the void,
The new leaf ever pushes off the old
The fire of heaven is not the flame of hell
Old priest, who humble worship in your
quire--
Old monk and nun, ye scorn the worlds de-
sire,
Yet in your frosty cells ye feel the fire
The fire of heaven is not the flame OF hell.
The fire Of heaven is on the dusty ways
The wayside blossoms open to the blaze,
The whole wood world is one full peal of
praise,
The fire of heaven is not the flame OF hell
The fire of heaven is lord Of all things good,
And starve not thou this fire within thy blood,
But follow Vivien through the fiery fioodi
The fire Of heaven is not thehame of hell

HEALTH AND THE PockeT-BOOK
Distressing Effects of Pecuniary Troubles
Out OF Debt, Out of Danger.

Distressing Effects of Peouninry Troubles
Out of Debt, Out of Danger.
To insure health, so far as human effort
can control the matter, one should, above all,
DO cheerful, contented, and calm. You can
not do this if you Intentionally or unintention-
ally incur debt, for debt is embarrassing and
painfully annoying. No person of the least
pride or sslf-rsspect can possibly be comfort
able if in debt. Debt is something that can
not always be avoided, although it never fails
to produce, in persons of principle, an amount
of mental worry that is absolutely distressing.
Mental tension, pecuniary trouble, is one Of
the chief causes Of insanity. Men struggle
for competency, because they, especially
those not far removed from poverty, fear
poverty, not for themselves but for others.
A father will suffer moro in the thought
that his wife or daughter may be left penni-
less than he will if the family physician tells
him that the wife has an incurable cancer,
and may die any moment, or that the daugh-
tor will be crippled for life. He prefers even
this to the thought that she may be forced to
manual labor 1t is true that poverty in our
artificial state of society involves all the mis-
eries-hunger, overwork, humiliation, and
sickness, yet we can hardly understand why
men should not choose them all rather than
sickness and physical suffering.
The man who commits suicide from
pecuniary troubles is, nine times in ten, found
to be one who is overworked, or who has
ragged secretly or openly at the apparent in
justice involved in work that brings no re-
turn, or who, haunted by fear of poverty, has
lived beyond his income incurred annoying
debts, and takes his life to escape the con-
sequent misery and mental agony. Nothing
overturns the mental balance so surely as
long continued sense of injustice or long con-
tinued debt, and nothing is so frequent
cause for suicide. Hope is said to spring
eternal in the human breast" but in the
matter of money-making years of non-suc-
cess kill hope and destroy mental vigor and
bodily health No other form of misery pro-
duces quite the same impression as financial
wrong. To be a healthy man, learn to bear
cheerfully the misfortune as we'll as the good
fortune of life. Therefore, the mental re-
quirements of the laws of health are cheer
fulness, contentlnent, and calmness, and that
man live within his income, however small
