Long before japan was opened TO foreigners
did the japanese possess eminent astronomical
knowledge and n zodiac of their own. Their
year began with our LIST Of February and had
twelve months. The day was divided in differ
ent manners; the military counted like our
sailors. by'watches, the priests BY .'divisions,"
which were marked By the striking of very
large bells suspended in their high temples-a
custom which Is still in yogue-and finally the

Never Close the Door.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
II this city is truly growing better and the
evil influences which surround US are lessening
then should our churches adopt the motto
Never close the door" There are hundreds
Of the poorer class, who for reason of a little
pride, won't attend the services on Sunday, and
to this class should the church door always be
open.
Sunday is a dress day and fashionable gar
ments adorn the person Of those even in mod
crate circumstances, and thus the poor feel
their position and probably the heart is sad
dened on account Of poverty and they remain
away.
The poor want the Gospel preached to them.
They desire to hear the meodious, soft tones of
the organ and no doubt many crave to receive
the inspiration emauating from the sweet songs
of praise, but they are poor. and it would seem
that no one cares to preach or to sing for their
ediiication.
Northeast Washington. where SO many poor
reside, should be the first to inaugurate some
plan for the promoting of better religious
service, If even for this particular people.
The comforts OF increased transportation and
the many improvements made, the educational
interests far above what they have been, fur
nish sufficient reason for the churches to
branch out from the one-day service and let
the glad songs Of praise watt out from the
sanctuaries every night In the week.
Tho theaters are crowded, the restaurant Is
busy, the ball room has its allurements and the
world is still going on manufacturing devices
for the entertainment OF many who could be
made to succeed in life. Why notmake a sacri-
fee and cultivate o desire to promote good
where indifference and evil prevails.
1t can hardly be expected that the pastors
shall assume charge Of all these services, but
many young men are waiting for work. They
want 10 help. and "a this feeling is manifest
they with The other laymen of the church could
have charge alternately. change of program
each evening would be entertaining an exhor-
tation. sermon, service of song and praise
an evening of Christian gathering. a sacred
concert and occasionally social meeting, all
would tend to happy and prosperous course.
The pastors of the nor theast are energetic and
full of hope. Il. 5. L.

DO Rocks Crow.

FronIthe st. Louis Republic.
The question in the headline is often asked.
and not infrequently by scholarly people, too.
BY way Of a general answer to all such cues
TONERS 1 would say that the best authorities
have come to this conclusion: That rocks do
not grow in the sense that plants do. They
may increase In size by means of accretion.
and they may also undergo other changes. Old
sea beds lifted up and exposed for ages become
stratlfied beds of sandstone or limestone; VOL
canic ashes and lave strewn over hills and
plains become tufa hard enough for building
stone, and the pebbly shores of rivers and
smaller streams may sometimes change into
conglomerates. The simple mineral, however,
does grow, especially when it takes upon itself
the form of crystal. A sparkling prism Of
quartz increases from an atom to a monster
crystal Of varying length and size by what
geoiogists know as process of addition and
assimilation" This process is wonderfully
slow, but with a mathematical exactness that is
a surprise to persons even "well up in the
science Of geology. In one sense stones grow,
in another they do not. The crystal NAV be-
come longer aud larger, but the boulder on the
roadside will not increase q hairs breadth in
length or width in the next 10000 years.

Boston Cyclists Uniuue E.n.r,.,..

Cyclists in Boston had a unique experience
last week when there we're three inches
OF snow on the ground. The riders of
pneumatic tired wheels took trip through the
snow and many OF them enjoyed the novel ex-
perience. The wheelmen as a rule were well
satisfied with their journey, while some of them
complained that In the slush their wheels
slipped. On the hard packed snow the wheels
went along smoothly and the ride was there
fore enjoyable. Now that the wheelmen have
made this discovery with their pneumatic it is
more than likely that wheeling parties over the
snow will become popular this winter.
