Illustrating the Immensity of Space.

A Photographic plate exposed to the
heavens in large telescope for any con-
siderable length of time shows nothing
but continuous blur Of light, indicating
that the Photographic eye sees beyond the
reach of human vision such a multitude of
suns that every part of space is filed.
One may gain some inkling of the i'm
mensity of space by supposing the photo
graphic plate exposed upon the remotest
star it now records and looking out still

with millions of millions of suns, each pos
sibly having its quota of planets.-Spring

ter is very much interested in the immi-
grafton question. Not only will he do all
in his power to enforce the existing laws
prohibiting the landing of undesirable
classes, but he says he will give the mat
ter considerable attention in his report.
Mr.. Foster thinks the present laws are
not strict enough, and he will recommend
to congress that the lines be drawn closer
There is evidently strong feeling every
where. the secretary says. on this subject,
and legislation that will keep the ignorant
hordes from Southern Europe out of the
United States will be received with ap-
proval. The educational test, which
would exclude most of the Italians, Poles
and Hungarians, seems to him to offer a
very direct remedy, and there are several
other plans suggested which he will look
into as soon as he takes up the subject.

White sweet scented violets do well for
quite a number of years planted where
there are apt to be bad places in the sod,
and will always thrive If the grass does not
crowd them too closely. Every one will
know their value too well not TO appreciate
this modest little flower, the very sweetest
of ell spring blossoms. Spending some
weeks at one time in an Iowa city and its
suburbs, was much pleased at the beauti-
fully kept yards and lawns OF that place.
l noted here in a number OF the yards
clumps of white. fragrant grass pinks
standing out distinctly from the sur
rounding green of the nicely kept sod.
The foliage being of that peculiarly blue
green, and rising up in round, pretty
clumps or little mounds, made them es-
pecially pretty, and the fact of their being
in full bloom 81 the time added TO their
pleasing effect
Blue grape hyacinths flourish best IN
sod places, and will always furnish bloom,
their slender little spikes Of blue and
white bells appearing as faithfully "a
spring comes. and the delicate foliage is
quite as pretty as the grass around them

THE BIBLE AND THE CHURCH

BosroS. Mass. April 23-Prof. J. II.
{ Thayer. of the Harvard College Divinity
school, read an essay before the Uniyer-
Salist club on The Change of Attitude
Toward the Bible He Saidthe change Is
one which he ventured to advocate al
though 1t would modify the current New
England conception. His criticism. he de-
sired TO have understood, IS not against
Christianity, but upon the records of
Christianity. He trusted that all believed
IN It's principles, and hoped for its progress
and final triumph. He urged that the
scriptures were not originally looked upon
as the chief source OF spiritual light and
lie For generations the church was des-
utute of this record and il came gradually
and time was required to collect and dis
| crlmlnate, As result. some books were
excluded, and some that were originally
read are now obsolete These and other
iactS show that the church has produced
the Bible rather than the Bible the church.
lie advocated the historic view OF the na-
ture OF the Bible, not because it regards
the Bible a. primarily consisting OF his
tory or designed 10 teach history. but as a
book 10 be studied aud understood and
used in tie light Of history. The change
OF view consists, then. simply in conform
ing our opinion respecting the Bible 10 the
undenlsble properties OF the book itself.

Using Smoke as a Screen,

Through experiments made by English
military authorities it has been found that
whenever the atmosphere is laden with
smoke or mist the power of an electric
light is greatly diminished by crossing the
beam of light by that Of another at GER
tain angle. At the point of intersection
the Illuminated space is practically made q
screen. 1t is proposed to utilize this knowl-
edge, since the electric beam can thus he
made to serve as q screen, back of which
tactical operations might be conducted in
secret.-Boston Transcript.

GII1HRIE NOTES

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 23.-TSpecial.l THE
22d was appropriately celebrated in
/ Guthrie. A procession formed at tCapatal
Hill and marched down to the depot to
welcome Senator Teller, ex-Congress man
Symmes and others, who were to pass
through on a special train. The train
waited over half an hour and the distin-
gushed gentlemen were driven around the
city.
Marshal Grimes has returned and yester-
day entertained Marshal Tom Needles, OF
Muskogee. Marshal Needles says he has
some forty prisoners at Muskogee.
Deputy United States Marshal Joe Rob
charged with selling whisky to the In
dians. Their names are G. n. French and
| and s. D. Witt They gave bond for their
appearance at Oklahoma City at the Octo-
| ber term of court.
Marshal Grimes issued Tuesday and
| Wednesday 5000 in checks.
Judge Green declined to release the
Terrill's on bail. They will therefore Ian
guish in the bastile until their trial.
The contract for bridging the Cimarron
will soon be let.
The citizens of East Guthrie anxiously
await the decision of the secretary OF the
interior on the town site case.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
cases decided by Judge Green was that
1dIeiy oeClueu, uoluiug CudI COio - Diont
was eligible to the office of register OF
deeds This case come up on quo warranto
proceedings instituted under and by ad-
vice of the attorney general OF the terri
tory, and the county attorney or Logan
county, to oust her from the position to
which she had been elected, on account Of
disqualification by reason of her sex. The
judge was about two hours in rendering
the decision, quoting the leading authori-
ties from different states, the supreme
court of the United States. and in con-
STRIVING the organic act. 1t is generally
considered that the decision was one Of
the most carefully prepared and learned
that the Guthrie bar ever had the pleasure
of listening to.
Messrs. Dale and Thomas have won
laurels in this case They have conducted
1t in such manner as to call forth COM
pliments from the Logan county bar.

Beating Time by Cable.

Eow he once "beat time" or rather. an
parent time, in a remarkable fashion is
told by Mr.. Archibald Forbes. 1t is a
story of a telegraphic dispatch from the
battlefield. In the early morning of the
22d of November, 1878, British division
under General Sir Samuel Browne occu-
pied the Afghan fortress of Ali Musjid, up
in the khyber Pass. Mr. Forbes rode
back ten miles to Jumrood, where the field
tele graph was, and sent the news to Eng
land in short message bearing date 10
a. n.
There is five hours difference of time
between India and England in favor of the
latter, and the London papers containing
this telegram dated 10 a. IN. were selling in
Fleet street at 8 a. m, one hour of appar-
ent time before it was dispatched. Its an
tici patton of time, however, did not end
here. Owing to the five hours difference
between the clocks of London and New
York the message was in time for the reg
ular editions of the New York papers that
same morni.y.
Ii was then Immediately wired across the
American continent, and owing again to
the difference in time between the Allan
tic coast and the Pacific slope the early
rising citizen of San Francisco, purchasing
his morning paper at a. M, was able to
read the announcement of an event which
actually occurred over two hours later in
apparent time some 1900 miles away on
the other side of the globe.
Puck, as Mr.. Forbes says, professed him
self able to put girdle around the earth
in forty minutes, but this telegram sped

The Influence of Mind on Mind.

That the influence of mind on mind is
ord narily imperceptible does not prove
thai it can not be universal. These are
well ascertained material influences which
are of universal operation, yet too feeble to
be felt; and in some cases these, even if
more powerful, would still be ordinarily
unfelt because they act in many directions
at once, and tend, therefore, to neutralize
one another.
That matter has weight has always been
known, but never till within the last few
centuries could it have been suspected that,
gravitation being universal, every human
body must exert an influence upon-for it
has an attraction for-every other human
body, however distant-an influence which
would in certain cases be felt if the mass of
the earth and the inertia of matter were
very greatly less than they are.-Black-
woods Magazine.

Marriage as a Life Preseryer.

A certain set of philosophers, incapable
of feeling affection for any one but them
selves, has delighted in sneering at love
and marriage, and has argued that bach
elorhood is the only conservative state.
But their theory is not borne out by the
stat sites of married and single life in
moo ern times, SO far ut least as the mas
culine gender is concerned. If longevity
is desirable, then it is better that we should
marry than remain bachelors: for it APP
pears that at every age, from twenty to
eighty-five. the death rate of the Benedicts
is very much smaller than that of their
minated brethren.
Gentlemen who prefer short life and a
merry one to a prolonged lease of matri-
monial placidity will probably agree in
opinion with the cynical philosophers

The fur cap trade is centered in the
French quarter. Sealskin caps are less
popular than they once We're, but some
thousands of them are annually made in
this city. They are made from portions of
skin too small to be used in the best
sacques. The trade is highly subdivided.
1t requires knowledge of furs, and many
of those engaged in the business are for
eigners. Much of the trade is carried on
in comparatively small shops such as are
usual in the French quarter Often the
cost lest and most beautiful goods are pro-
duced in shabby little shops where one
would expect to find no more important
industry than that of the cobbler.-New
