NOT TO BE READ IN SCHOOLS.
This is the Opinion of the Supreme Court
Concerning the Bible.

Justice Lyon discusses principally. the
question of ''sectarian instruction,
within the meaning of the con-
stitutional term. He says: In
considering whether such reading of
the Bible is sectarian instruction,
the book will be regarded as a
whole, because the whole Bible, without
exception, has been designated as a text
book for use in the Edgerton schools,
and the claim of the school board is sub
stantialIy although perhaps not in
terms) that the whole contents thereof
may lawfully be so read therein, if the
teachers so elect. This being So it is
quite immaterial if the portions thereof
set out in the return as the only portions
thus far read. are not sectarlan. ret it
should be observed that some of the por-
tions so read seem to lnculcate the doc
trines of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and
the punishment of the wicked after death.
which doctrines are not accepted by some
religious sects. -
The opinion saws: This court neither
affirms nor denies the accuracy of the
position, as regards the church of Rome
being hostile to our common school
system.
''Sectarian instruction, in the consti-
tuition. is defined as follows: The term
'sectarian. in the constitution, manifestly
refers exclusively to instruction IN religious
doctrines, and the prohibition is only aimed
at such instruction as Is sectarlan; that
is to say, instruction IN religious doctrines
which are believed by some religious sects
and rejected by others. Hence to teach
the existence of supreme Being of in
finite wisdom, power and goodness, and
that it is the highest duty of men to adore.
obey and love Him is not sectarlan, be-
cause all religious sects so believe and
teach. The instruction becomes sectarian
when it goes further and inculcates doc
trine or dogma concerning which the re-
ligious sects are in conflict. This we
understand to be the meaning of the con-
stitutional prohibition.

The salary of senators and congressman
is S. 900 per annum, With mileage al
owance of 20 cents to and from Washing
ton, and an allowance for stationery and
newspapers of S125 per annum. A total
of $780, 900 is required to pay the salaries
of senators, and 81 ,695, 900 to pay those of
the congressman. 1t costs a little less
than $4,000 per session to pay the mile

$4,000 to purchase the stationery for
members and officers of the house alone in
any one session. The treasury pays S24,

About 900 persons, gathered into tf-
teen churches, believe that George Jacob
Schweinfurth, of Rockford, ILL.,. who wears
silk hat and patent leather shoes, is 81
years old and resembles TO some extent
certain pictures of the Savior, is really the
Son of God. From his own story, as told
to a World reporter, he is the son of Ger
man Methodist, and from a child was
something Of an idealist. At the age of SO
he began preaching, and soon afterwards
became acquainted with Mrs. Beekman, a
perfectionist, who advocated the attain
ment of an ideal and sinless life. After
three years he adopted her views, and when
she died. he, at her request, became the
head of the little sect of which she was the
originator. He regards himself as her
spiritual son. and his followers have gradu-
ally advanced him in their estimation to
the plane of divinity and they believe that
the light and saving power are all in him.
A community of about thirty persons has
been formed whose right and interests are
equal. They have some 500 acres, six miles
from Rockford, we'll cultivated, and there
raise stock; this property was decided to
them by an old man named S. S. Weldon,
who believes implicitly in the Church
Triumphant, as they call their organiza-
ton; but this created such a stir in the
neighborhood, where it was thought the
old man Weldon was being imposed upon
that it was decided back again, although
Schweinfurth is still the head of the con-
Germ. Opinion is divided upon the ques-
ton whether this man is smart knave or
a sincere fool. He is not a recluse, nor APP
parently fanatic. He is a student, has
good library, and breaches, it is said, a
powerful sermon Churches in Northern
Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota acknowl-
edge him as their head and contribute to
his support. The great disturbing uues-
ton of the relation of the sexes does not
appear to have troubled them yet. They
profess to believe in marriage, but consider
it a most holy state, in which the question
of mere affinity has no place Thus far,
there have been no marriages in the COM
munity at Rockford, called Heaven by
the worlds people. The sect is not likely
to be along lived one, but will soon pass
into history as another illustration of the
queer ideas people have upon the subject
of religion, and of the fact that any one
can set himself up as leader in theologi-
cal matters with the assurance that he will
be pretty sure to have some followers, no
matter how ridiculous his pretensions or
how absurd his doctrines

END OF THE WORLD CALCULATED

A French statistician who has been study
ing the military and other records with a
view of determining the height of men at
different periods, has reached some won
derful results. A Frenchman is naturally
an artist, even in figures. A German or
an American might content himself with
dry arithmetical combination, but this ar
fist carries his statistics into the realm OF
history and Of poetry and even of proph-
ecy. He has not only solved some perplex-
ing problems in regard to the past of the
human race, but also is enabled to calcu-
ate its future and to determine the exact
period when man will disappear from the
earth. The recorded facts extend ever
nearly three centuries. 1t is found that In
1910 the average height of man in Europe
was rs metres, or say 5 feet 9 lnbhes.
In 1890 it was feet 6 inches. In 1920 it
was feet inches and fraction. At the
present time it is 5 feet inches and three
quarters 1t is easy to deduce from these
figures rate of regular and gradual de-
cline in human stature, and then to apply
this, working backward and forward, to
the past and to the future. By this calcu-
lation it is determined that the stature of
the first men attained the surprising aver
age of 16 feet inches. Truly there were
giants on the earth in those days. The
race had already deteriorated in the days of
Og, and Goliath was a quite degenerate
offspring of the giants. Coming down to
later times we find that at the beginning
of our era the average height of man was
8 feet, and in tho time of Charlemagne 1T
was feet inches, fact quite sufficient
to account for the heroic deeds of the
Paladins. But the most astonishing result
of this scientific study comes from the ap-
plication of the same memorable law OF dl-
minution to the future. The calculation
shows that by the year 1000 A. D., the
stature of the average man will be reduced
to fifteen inches. At that epoch there will
be only Lilliputians on the earth. The
conclusion of the learned statisticlan is IT.
resistible, that ''the end of the world will
certainly arrive for the inhabitants will
have become so small that they will finally
disappear finish by disappearing, as
the French idiom expresses it-''from the
terrestrial globe"

Jhis plan i, carr ed oat there will be no

understood that several propositions that

are also submitted to be passed upon in

in criticism of this line of proceeding, it
