The plan OF the parliament of Religions" Is
capable of such realization as prophetic
mind, hav- only dreamed Of in other days
1t is especially interesting aud suggestive TO
find that among the missionaries of he Chris
tian religion ia countries where other religions
are sliIl strong IN their hold there is the most
ardent approval of the parliament in the firm
conviction that Christianity will be able 10
manifest its supremacy as be ultimate religion
in any comparative exhibition.
All religion is the outcome OF the human
SOUPS search after God. Ii is The ct fnal truth
in any religion which ma es 1t possible for il TO

has the most truth.

Acid of the Cranberry.

IN answer to question asked him on
the cars one day Ito which he was at
the time unable to reply, DR.. Lapham
made the following answer after much
study: "A dilligent search through all
the books to which | have access, has
failed to reward me with any knowledge
as to what particular kind of acid gives
sourness TO the cranberry. No chemist
seems to have given his attention to it;
or if he has he has kept the knowledge
to himself. The acid may be supposed
to consist of two or more acids-partak-
ing more or less of the character of the
malic acid (of the apple, etc., and of
the citric acid (of the lemon, etc.,
We find under the head of citric acid,
that it is found not only in the lemon,
but mixed with the malic acid in nearly
all red fruits.
Mr.. Davenport Fisher says that upon
applying the proper tests he finds the
acid of the American cranberry to con-
sist chiefly of citric acid, with little of
the malic and scarcely trace of oxalic
or tartaric acid. Although he finds no
full discussion of the matter in any of
the books, he thinks it must have been
investigated by some one. From this
we conclude that the sourness of the
cranberry is occasioned by the presence
of critic acid, and that the beneficial
effects Of the lemon are repeated in the
cranberry.
Mr.. E. T. Sweet, of Madison, found in
Res Encyclopedia that cranberries
are used in Sweden to boil with silver
plate in order to improve the color.
The acid seems to dissolve the copper
on the surface of the alloy and leave
the silver bright and clean. Oxalic acid
is often used for this purpose. Webster's
American Cyclopedla says: ''This fruit
is fermented, an Intoxicating drink
made, and whisky put in to disguise its
peculiar flavor. 1t is said to possess
narcotic powers, and is therefore used
in beer"

A New York daily paper, taking up
the idea conveyed in Flammarion' s
exciting novel, "Omega: The Last Days
of the World" has interviewed a num-
Der of the leading men in all professions
as to what they would do if science
were to predict tomorrow that the end
of the world would arrive within the
next thirty days. The answers are
various and curious, and heighten the
interest which is felt in the second part
of Flammarion' great novel, which
appears in the May Cosmopolitan. 1t
is question which everyone will find
interesting to ask of himself: What
would you do if within six weeks the
end of the world were certain? Proba-
bly, no novel which has ever appeared
in an American magazine has been
more deliberately illustrated by more
distinguished artists. Laurens, Saunier,
Nogel, Meaulle, Rochegrosse, Geradin
and Chovin all contribute to the explain
alton of the text.
