He'll VIII Be on a Comet

What do You think Of the idea of hell,
the future abode of the wicked, being
situated in the nucleus of some gigantic
comet? This opinion, odd as it may seem
to those who have given comets and the
future state of the dead but little atten-
ton, has been entertained by many really
eminent scientists and philosophers,
among them the learned DIR. Winston,
the friend and sometime adviser of the
great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries of friend,
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof ON the subject, the follow
ing unique theories were advanced: "Ac-
cording to my calculations and deduc-
tons, this theory which you rightly say
must belong to me and me alone, does
locate hell, the awful prison house of the
damned, in the fiery nucleus Of some
(perhaps yet undiscovered comet of I'M
thinkable size.
I'm this wide circling chariot of fire
they will be whirled IN the twinkling of
an eye from the intolerable heat of the
surface of the sun back into space hun
dreds and hundreds of millions of miles
from the great torch bearer of our sys-
tenn. Thus instantly the wretched ten
ants will be given two unbearable ex-
tremes-one of cold and the other Of
heat-this to continue through the end
less ages of eternity, while the Almighty
is dispensing the seventies of justice"
Did mortal man ever harbor a moro
horrible idea than this?-St. Louis Re-

Literary Chances In New York.

The actual chances for literary success
in New York are in no respect different
from those which any greater city pre-
sents over those of smaller community.
If literary man or woman can go to
New York with certainty offered in the
way of a fairly paying position, then l
say, by all means go, and if he has any
talent in him it will come out and win
quick success. But if he has only ordi-
nary gifts then let him stay where he is,
even with certainty offered him. New
York holds out nothing to such man
except poor livelihood. Or, if writer
has established fair reputation, Is
known by editors and publishers through
letters, and he feels that there is some
thing in him which only the activity Of
a great city will bring ont, then let him
go TO busy Gotham.
But let him be careful that he does not
confuse ambition with talent. New
York is full of ambitious writers, and
they will always remain ambitious, al
ways reaching out to eat the literary oats
which hang suspended just little out
of their reach. Ambition is a splendid
quality, but the talent must be there to
back it up. And the latter is what is
lacking in so many of the ambitious lit
erary spirits in New York today. 1t Is
all ambition.-E. W. Box in Ladies
Home journal.

A New Photographic Process.

An effective and greatly simpIifed
method of producing Photographic
representation in the form of an intaglio
engraving, or, as it is generally called,
'photogravure," is being introduced.
The new method is intended to reduce
the time occupied in the process, which
usually takes many days to few hours,
and to dispense entirely with the supple
mentary aid of the skillful engraver.
Its essential feature hes in the fact that
the picture, instead of being obtained
from graduated depth of the engraving,
is produced from a sunken surface Of
uniform depth, the gradations of light,
half tone and shade being effected by
minute lines and stipples of varying
thickness, but of uniform distance apart
from center TO center.
The picture is made up of equidistant
stipples, varying from a microscopic
point up to size where they coalesce in
a solid black, the half tones consisting of
stipples about 1-400th of an inch in di-
ameter. IF a coarse stipple is used the
effect varies from that of mezzotint and
approaches more nearly that of line of
engraving, the light shades being made
up of perceptible lines and stipples. like
the effects of steel or copper plate en-
craving of equal texture.

The Bride Met Him Half Way.

A wedding took place in Cleveland
Thursday noon under somewhat roman
tic circumstances when Colonel Oliver
P. Johnson, of Washington, was married
TO Miss Rachel Owen, of Racine, Wis.

Is a handsome woman Of twenty-eight.
When they went to the court house to-
gether to get the marriage license Colo
mel Johnson remarked, ''She is brave
little woman" and added: This match
is on the runaway order. She said she
would meet me half way, so she travelled
alone to Cleveland, and came from
Washington"
Then Colonel Johnson wrote the names
and addresses of himself and his bride
upon piece of paper, headed them with
the declaration, every romantic" and
left the note for the reporters.-Wash-

A Comnarison of Birth Rates.

not due TO any high average of deaths,
although infant mortality is higher than
it should be. 1t is due to the small num-

The Rise and Fan Of Families.

A family, like race or a nation, does
indeed bud, flower and run to seed, and
the seed must be transplanted TO new
soil in order to bud and flower again.
Now part of the foolish ancestorship
OF the past resulted in the creation of
aristocracies built on the foundation
of an illustrious ancestor. We ara get
ting wiser and better We are putting
our aristocracies closer to the primal
source. We~5re learning no longer to
respect man because his ancestor was
better than himself, but because he him
self is an ancestor The farce of royalty
is played out; the farce of rank and
caste is in a moIibund condition. All
men will soon learn to laugh at the
claims OF long descent. Many men
laugh at them now. And this in itself
is an immense step in advance.
Snobbery, vulgarity, pretension-these
hideous traits will soon be of the past.
Our grandchildren, freed from the alb
surd ideas, the absurd restrictions of
semisavage inception, will be larger,
more generous, more tolerant-better, in
short, than ourselves. Fresh and vigor-
Gus blood will intermix with the worn
out descendants of great men, and in
due time greater men from the stock
viii be born to the future. Every sue
ceeding age sees the abandonment of
some superstition which has checked the
progress and development of the race in
the past.-Willian. 8. Walsh in New
York World.

A Novel Diving Reu

Archibald Price, one of the pioneer
settlers of Kanawha valley, West Viz
ginia, was making maple sugar in a
grove across the river from his house,
when he caught sight of three Indians
skulking in the vicinity. THE var
mintsl' he said to himself. $50 they
mean TO pounce on me when I've two
pals o. sap aboard"
He was just starting for some Of tne
more distant trees. Of course he changed
his purpose on the instant, but he was
quick witted enough to give no sign of
the fact, and for a few moments busted
himself about the boiling place, whistling
merrily.
II ne set Off across the river in his
canoe, the Indians would pursue and
shoot him He had brother who was
q sea diver. From him he had learned
something about diving bells, and he
now took sudden resolve TO make his
kettle serve him in that capacity. He
emptied it, but in such a way that an
observer at a little distance would have
supposed he was filing it from tub
standing near
As soon az it was emptied he lifted it
quickly, and hurried down the river
bank, where he raised it, in ~ inverted
position, over his head, the rim resting
on his shoulders, and walked into the
water. The bank was steep, and the
water was soon up to his shoulders.
Keeping firm hold Of the kettle, he
proceeded The water got deeper and
deeper until it was several feet over the
top of the kettle.
The improvised diving bell answered
its purpose excellently, supplying air for
him to breathe until he emerged on the
home side Of the river.
So Mr. Price saved himself and his
iron kettle from falling into the hands
of the savages-Yo Youths Companion.

A Fight with a Panther.

In & le early part of this century Jairus
Rich was famous hunter of Alexandria,
". Y. Once when his traps were set for
wolves, he went out on tour Of inspec-
ton, and was surprised to see panther
spring up and bound away with one OF
the traps hitched TO its hind leg. he
fred, but missed, and the creature made
off into the thicket Jairus went to a
neighbor's, borrowed dog and returned
70 the woods.
AS he neared the place where the en-
trapped brute had disappeared, hisqulck
eye detected panther's head protrudlng
from some bushes few rods ahead. he
took hasty aim, fired, and the creature
fell dead
Examination revealed the fact that this
was not the panther in the trap, and the
exciting barking Of the dog few rods
in advance showed that other game was
near. Leaving the dead panther ne
hurried on and soon came in sight Of the
entrapped beast, which stood at bay
snarling fiercely at the dog, which kept
at safe distance.
Mr.. Rich fired at the panther, but only
wounded it slightly. In the excitement
of the moment he threw down his gun,
seized his Ratchet and ran forward,
thinking tomake short work Of his game,
but in that he was mistaken. The PAN
Their made a sudden spring, knocked the
Ratchet from the hunters hand, and,
furious with rage and pain, began tear
ing and biting him.
Rich defended himself to the best OF
his ability, but there was no getting
away from the fierce animal. a fearful
struggle ensued, and finally the panther
got one Of the hunters hands in his
mouth.
With his free hand Rich succeeded in
getting his jackkmife from his pocket.
He opened it with his teeth, and with it
put an end 20 the life of the ugly brute.
Then ne crawled TO the nearest house,
where his wounds were cared for. 1t
was several weeks before he was able to
leave his bed, and the scars OF the con-
flict he bore to the grave.-Youth's

Rebellion in Haiti,

KINGS TON, Jamaica, Jan. 17-News re-
ceived here indicates that the long threat
ened revolution against the government
and President Hippolyte Of Haiti has
broken out. Messages have been received
stating that battle was fought yesterday
morning in the village OF LAM de Neaue,
a settlement back of Port au Prince In a
short time 800 soldiers and twenty officers
were on the way to the village. While
the fighting was in progress at this point
news was received at Port au Prince of
another uprising near st. Michael. The
residents are in terror as result of the
uprising. All places of business were
closed. Even private residences were bar
ricaded and the occupants sought shelter.
Troops are under orders to leave
to suppress the rebellion, and they will be
fastened with all the speed the limited
facilities of the republic affords. President
Hippolyte at once issued a manifesto. an
nouncing that the uprisings are nothing
more than emeutes, and not organized re-
bellion or armed opposition to the govern
ment. In the election held Saturday Hip
polyte's friends and relatives were chosen
deputies. but the success was due to a dis
play of force at the polls which terrorized
the voters. Notwithstanding the encour-

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 1.-THE Empire the

on Governments Programme" saws: "A
swift line of ocean steamers is to be estab-
llshed, running between Canada and Great
Britain. The country is to be made finally
independent of United States aggres sion
upon Canadian canals by the completion
OF Sault Ste. Marie canal upon our own
soil In the course of the present year. The
deepening of navigation in the ST. Law
renee and elsewhere is to be completed in
three years. time The vessels will be of
1000 tons burden and will be able to steam
from Great Britain into Lake Superior.
The Conservative party will continue this
policy without looking to Washington
City or sacrificing Canadian intetests upon
the altar of American worship and I'M
patriotic continentalism. The tariff will
be changed, amended and improved as the
aite atoms in fiscal laws in other coun-
tries or the changing conditions OF our
own country demand, but always and
everywhere Canadian interests will be
safely guarded, and so far as human skill
and knowledge is available the national
policy will be perfected In detail and pre-
served in principle.
WASHINGTON CITY. Jan. 17.-Secretary Of
State Foster says that he is not surprised
at the action OF the Canadian government
in announcing that the discriminating
canal tolls against American vessels will
not be maintained during the coming sea-
son. The secretary has not received an
official notification from the British min
lister on the subject for some time. but re-
ceived notice informally on Saturday of
what had taken place. The secretary
added:
OF course the new order If officially promul-
gated, would result in revocation of President
Harrison's proclamation of last summer, inpos-
ing retaiiatory tolls upon Canadian yes.sls pass
ing through the ship canal ut Saulte ste. Marie.
The proclamation spec fcally states that it shall
not remain in effect after the Canadian discrim-
mating tolls are removed.
