the harm should undoubtedly do him in
writing my chaotic ideas of him, neces-
sarily so far away from his secret brain.
But I bear testimony in my life that for
twenty years David Swing has influenced
my life. He stayed here. He survived.
He is by all odds the fittest son the val
ley owns He is the father of our litera-
ture. He made his living preaching to
the rich, the Anarchist orators say, but
David Swing says it is lie. He goes
each summer to Lake Geneva, where the
solitude is awful.
He comes in town to bury the dead.
His ''church" hibernates in summer-if
the reader viii permit me. He goes out
to lecture as often as circumstances war
rant and writes for the press whenever
he finds the task agreeable. Nobody can
get his fame away from him, for it is
founded in that need of humanity where
every soul looks for his master, and is
gratifed in finding one. David Swing
stands among us as one who has spoken
many forgotten things. Cleaning from
a remark that do remember, we may
say it is with him as with old books
which haVe been long unread. The
words, witty OF wise, have passed away,
but the friendship and reverence remain
"a song without words.-John McGov-
ern on David Swing.

Is old Age a Nccessitya

The repeating cycles Of history seem
TO be bringing the world again into the
ancient beliefs in alchemy, the elixir Of
life and the fountain of eternal youth.
Certainly many persons now again seri-
ously advocate the doctrine that one may
prolong youth and life almost at will
Following this line of thought, Mr.. @.
A. Stephens has written very elaborate
work called Living Matter: It's Cycle of
Growth and Decline in Animal Organ
isms.n
Mr.. Stephens thinks that old age is not
q necessity. He believes if science only
knew how to eliminate the dead and
clogging matter from mans body, vital
ity would assert itself as powerfully and
pleasurably as in youth, almost indefi-
nitely.
He takes the ground of the unity OF
living matter, to which matter some
scientists give the name of biogen.
The same life principle remains al
ways, ever springing into elastic activ-
ity, perpetually renewing itself. But
hike the waters of a spring, at last it be-
comes choked and seeks another outlet,
When the dead matter enveloping it be-
comes too great for it to make its way
through. then it simply withdraws it.
self and goes elsewhere That is what
death is.
For one thing, people generally eat
twice as much as they ought to, messNs
of all kinds That is one way in which
the life principle is clogged in process of
years Then they do not take robust
physical exercise, but settle down as
middle age approaches and allow bony
deposits to form about their joints and
stiffen them The older people become,
the more p&ins they should take to keep
themselves physically active. The brain
processes of anxiety and evil passion of
all kinds use up the cell tissues and clog
the nervous system, and that is another
cause of death, SO called Mr.. Stephens
firmly believes that way will be found
to rid the race of the accumulation of
'formed matter" in our bodies.

The SUMS Total Eclipse.

Some time in October United States

peaceful expedition of carrying to Africa
the photographers, astronomers and
other scientific gentlemen who are to
take observations of the total eclipse of
the sun Dec %. It is hoped the new
cruiser Baltimore will be available for
this purpose.
Observations taken during this eclipse
will be among the most painstaking and
important ever made of the suns face, if
the weather permit. Attempts will be
especially made to, selve the mysteries of
tss-ssZa which is the strange luminous
appearance observable around the dark
body Of the moon during the suns total
eclipse. Apparatus for this observation
has been especially designed by Pro-
fessor F. Fl. Bigeiow. Many and pow
erful photographs will be made by the
instantaneous process. 1t does seem that
with these increased facilities something
must be added to our little, very little,
knowledge of the constitution and ma
ture of the sun. -
As yet, no government but the United
States has prepared to send official OBJ
servers of the eclipse, though many pri
vate parties will go to Africa to witness
it. Our vessel will land at st. Paul de
Loando, capital and seaport of the Por-

south of the Congo river. The expe-
dition will then proceed with their in
struments sixty miles inland, in a south
