remains of Southern or tropical fora and
fauna, plants and animals. are found in
those northern regions. Dense and per-
petual clOudineSs would cause the tropical
heat to he distributed all over the earth,
even to the poles. and the increase of the
electrical forces caused by the neaIness of
the earth to the sun would aid in this. This
theory is so full of force that the old school
OF scientists Will never be able 10 overthrow
II, and IL sustaiuS the Biblical and geolOgi-
cal histories OF the past.
This theory also accounts for the food.
We cannot put aside the tradition of a
great and general flood, for no people have
ever yet been discovered who DO not have
an ancient tradition of this universal food
When Mercury came TO our system, caus-
ing the earth to recede from the sun, the
natural result was TO precipitate the dense
clouds that had perpetually hid the sun
from sight, thus causing immense rains
and Z great flood. and if Bible readers will
study Genesis with this idea in mind they
will better understand that account of
creation. Such L climate as would exist
on this earth with canopy of cloud. very
dense cloud. perpetually shielding the earth
from the sun rays and as etrectually shut
ting out the cold, would produce an Eden,
a garden of perpetual plenty, more beau
tlful and grand than we could imagine from
ceased and the clouds had cleared away the
light would appear and the rainbow. as de-
scribed. This effect is now produced on the
earth by similar occurrences. When the
planets are moving toward perihelion-to-
ward the sun-we have less rain and the
atmosphere absorbs more of the waters of
the oceans and lakes. and when the planets
are moving toward aphelion-from the
sun-the moisture that has been absorbed
by the atmosphere IS precipitated and we
have the greatest rainfalls. This is partic-
uiarly noticeable in the case of the moon,
which is 5000 miles nearer the earth at
perigee than 1t apogee, and our heaviest
rainfalls occur when the moon is receding
from the earth. Jupiter is A 200, 600 miles
nearer the earth at perihelion than at aphe-
lion. and our principal drouth years occur
when Jupiter is nearing the sun and earth,
while our greatest rainfall years occur
when Jupiter is receding from the sun and
earth. l challenge investigation Of the

Lee Rawllns Ell al. from Milan. Appel
liant sought this suit for injunction to re-
strain the sale of property levied on by vir-
tue of judgment against it in justice court
for the sum of SIS on the ground that the
judgment was void. The petition alleged
that appellant was never served with cita-
ton, but that citation commanded the Off
Ger to summon j. w. Bayers, agent for the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa F'e railway, which
was not proper service on the company. and
that it had a good defense to the suit in that
it could prove the calf alleged to have been
killed by the company was not so killed but
died in 4 mud hole. Demurrer was sus-
tanned to the petition and Injunction dis
solved Held: The citation did not command
the officer to summon appellant company
but one of its officers, and being thus was
not a substantial compliance with the stat
ute. and service OF same could not give the
court jurisdiction OF appellant company.
The judgment being for less than $50 in

The Female 1t Was That Fought, the
Rooster Claimed the victory.
One morning as the wife of milk
dealer in Harrison, n. j., was sitting
at the window in the rear of her house
she saw large hawk swoop down to-
ward hen that had led her brood of
chickens a hundred yards away from
the poultry inclosure, says the New
York Sun. The hen had seen the ap-
proach Of the enemy, and, cackling
loudly, she called her chickens to-
gether, and valiantly standing over
them she repealed the first attack.
The noise she made brought big
rooster to her assistance, and he, too,
faced the hawk with great clamor.
But when the fierce bird swooped
again it was the vigilant hen that met
him. The rooster had pranced away
behind her.
Then, however, as the baffled hawk
again retreated, he rushed forward
with the light of battle in his eye,
knocked the hen away from her chick
ems, ruthlessly trampled on the brood
and sounded his clarion note of tri-
umph and defiance. Twice more the
hawk renewed the onslaught, and each
time the hen drove him off and the
rooster claimed the victory and trod
down the chickens. When the hawk
at last few away with empty beak and
talons the hen had only two little
birds to care for. Out of family of
nine the gallant rooster had trampled
seven to death.

The Persian Poet Says "It Was So Re
lated to Me-"
For the past 500 or 600 years the
followidg so-called Genesis Fifty
one" has been a puzzle to biblical
scholars; and, to-day, were it read
aloud in any mixed company, it Is
questionable if its fraudulent nature
would be discovered so beautiful is
the spirit and language of the Old Tes-
lament initiated. Below we give
this unique fraud in full:
l. And it came to pass after these
things that Abraham sat in the door
of his tent at about the going down OF
the sun.
2. And behold a man. bowed with
age, came from the way Of the will

3. And Abraham arose and met him
and said unto him, Turn in, l pray
thee, and wash thy feet and larry all
night and thou shalt arise on the
morrow and go thy way.
4. And the man said, Nay, for l will
abide under this tree.
B. And Abraham pressed him
greatly so he turned and they went
into the tent; and Abraham broke I'M
leavened bread and they did eat.
6. And when Abraham saw that the
man blessed not God, he said unto
him, wherefore doest thou not wor-
ship the Most High God, creator OF
heaven and earth.
z. And the man answered and said,

said, and he arose and drove him forth
with blows into the wilderness.
8. And at midnight God called upon
Abraham, saying, Abraham, waere is
the stranger that came by the way OF
thy tent at the going down of the sun.
10. And Abraham answered and
said, Lord, he would not worship
Thee, neither would he call upon Thy
name, therefore have driven him out

him kindly he sent him away on the
