"THE ROAD TO HE'LL FIRE"

Some one, presumably the author,
sends to our table a pamphlet with the
above startling title which title goes on
further to proclaim that the road re-
ferred to is "By the way of sectarian
churches and carnal ordinances ETC.,
etc. The pamphlet was printed in this
city and its author is Elijah w. Israel,
whose preface says:
Il have but to say that, in writing
this call to Christians, and all men, to
come out of sectarian Babylon, [ have
been greatly blessed by the Holy Spirit
of JOY and peace. and an abundance of
evidence presented to me III the scrip
lures Of tie truth of what | write
Life is too short to read this pamphlet
which the author gives out gratis, whose
author, Israel is not a Hebrew, by the
way, but whose aim seems to be to
prove by quotations from the Bible itself
that the sectarian churches con-
stitute the Mystery Babylon"
All such productions, whether
rightfully or otherwise, are set
down in these enlightened O. days as the
work OF crankS whom level headed peO-
pie look upon more in sorrow than in
anger, excused, if excused at all for the
same reason that a thousand and one
other proposed inovations are excused,
on the ground that those who believe
and advocate them are conscientious IN
their belief that they are going to i'm
prove the condition of mankind. under
which head politically come the woman
suffragists, socially the communists, and
religiously the sanctifcation and holi-
ness converts. They are the fermenting
where efforts after all may
have a leavening tendency. This particu-
lar author. however, will, if he lives ong
enough, and looks strong enough, find
out that there are broader and more di-
rect roads to ''helfire' than through the
churches and their christianity which he
would pull down.

-Four Hundred Million Daily.

Observations of falling stars have been
used to determine roughly the average num-
Der of neteorites which attempt to pierce the
earth's atmosphere during each twenty-four
hours. Dr. Schmidt, of Athens, from obser-
vations made during seventeen years, found
that. the mean hourly number of luminous
meteors visible on a clear noonless night by
one observer was fourteen, taking the time OF
observation from midnight to a. N
1t has been further experiInentally shown
that large group Of observers who might
tons would see about six times as many as
are visible to one eye. Professor H. A New
ton and others have calculated that, making
all proper corrections, the number which
might be visible over the whole earth would
be a little greater than 10000 times as many
as could be seen at one place. From this we
gather that not less than %, 900, 600 luminous
meteors fall upon our planet daily, each Of
which in a dark, clear night would present rs
with the weil known phenomenon Of a shoot
ing star.
This number, however, by no means repre-
sents the total number Of minute neteorites
that enter our atmosphere. because many en-
tirely invisible TO the naked eye are often
seen in telescopes. + has been calculated that
the number of meteorites, II these were In
cluded would be increased at least twenty
fold this would give Us 400, 00o, 90. of ne
teorites falling in the earth's atmosphere
daily. Norman Lockyer in Harpers Mag

THESE UNITED STATES.

SClentlfc American
The United States of America, which
separated from England in 1916. and
elected their first president in 1856, now
consists of forty-two states, six terrific
ries and one federal district The total
area of the union, including Alaska, is
about 1905, 900 square miles. As for the
population, that, during the century, has
made truly fabulous progress.
While Great Britain's population has.
in fifty years, increased by ten millions.
Frances by five millions, Germany's by
sixteen millions, the population of the
United States has increased thirty-seven
millions. 1t has been calculated that
since 1890 the population of North Amer
lea has been doubling every twenty-six
years. At present, the population of the
America union must certainly exceed
slxty-two millions inhabitants. Now, in
1870 the population did not reach four
millions. In century. then, the popula-
ton has varied in the proportion of l
to 15.5.
If this ascending advance continues,
and there is every evidence that il will
the United States in fifty years will
count more than POO. 900. 00o inhabitants,
and in seventy years viii be as populous
as Europe.
Four-ffths of the present population
consists of Americans of English origin:
the other fifth consists chiefly of Ger
mans. more than three millions of whom
have arrived within the forty wears only
comprised between 1870 and 1880.
Countries other than England and Ger
many have furnished but little TO the
emigration, so far the French. Italians.
Spanish, ETC.. who have taken I'D their
abode in the United States are swallowed
up IL the immense mass of Anglo-Ger-
mans. In 1880. the cities contained a
quarter of the total population of the
United States.
Appropos of immigrants, let US recall
the fact that 13, 800, 900 have arrived in
the United States within century. The
annual number of them varies much
with the year. Thus, in 1882. IS, 600
were received. while in 1856 the number
was but 334 Geo.

WICHITA IS IN THE RING.

Another indignant letter was received
yesterday by the EAGLE from a former
resident of Wichita, now in Texas, again
enclosing the Dallas News late SANDER
on Wichita. But prominent places
must expect these things. We don't
know of any other city in the west, out
side of Kansas City, that is the subject
of so many criticisms as is Wichita
They may hurt, and probably do, but
they don't kill, and we know of no way
to stop them other than by ceasing to be
important. It's only the town that has
subsidized that is safe from envious at
tacks, only the individual that is played
out who is no longer noticed. Dallas
and Kansas City and Omaha may find
that it relieves their respective belly
aches to make mouths at Wichita now,
yet it won't be long before st. Louis
and Chicago will be finding abdominal
relief in doing the same thing. The
bigger and stouter we get, and the more
we infringe upon the supposing pre-
serves OF other great ones, the deeper
and more threatening will be the grOwl
that greets us. Still it requires strong,
a prolonged and very bitter sheer to sue
cessfully sheer forty thousand as bright
and wide awake people out of counten-
ance as Wichita boasts. There is no
squeal on earth that can be set up by
any enemy however great that can
drown the never ending squeaI kept
going by ourselves up around our own
packing houses, and the rumble Of no
growl ever yet invented, anywhere near
equals the rumble of the many coming
and going trains, the sleepless machinery
and restless business life combined
which Wichita boasts. And to wind up
these wise observations, any howl at
Wichita coming especially from Texas
has too much the character of the fool
ish proceeding INDUCED in by the dog
who bayed the moon.

A QUIBBLE ON TERMS.

The Globe-Democrat, in speaking of
the present status of the question of i'm
porting lead ore from Mexico, says:
The Mexican papers made mistake in
speaking of Secretary WINDOWS 'rul-
ing on the lead ore question. No ruling
has yet been made The matter is still
under consideration at the treasury de-
partment. Instructions have been given
the collectors Of customs on the Mexican
frontier as to the regulation of importa-
tions OF this metal, but these Instructions
are to hold only until the ruling is form
ulated." All of which is true enough;
but the instructions to collectors is in
effect a ruling for the time being, and in
this case has brought about the estoppel
OF the commercial reciprocity, in large
measure, that had grown up be-
tween the two republics. And further.
if the said Instructions are not to be
followed up by Il formal ruling to the
same pulport, why not recall the IN
structions and restore the entente cor
dale ana open up again the channel of
commerce that was stopped up by the
temporary ruling, otherwise "instruc-

The result of the city election in In

cause for surprise, is but what might
have been looked for. The same result
may be expected for the state at large.
The Republican majority was not strong
enough to sustain the heavy drafts made
upon the party in that state by the ad-
ministration to fill appointlve offices and
leave it in condition to win at the polls.
