THE BIBLE, THE MASTER LIT
ERATURE.

The New York Sun has peculiar
way Of defending the Bible. In an
article on the Briggs trial, it says:
"If, then, people come to criticise the
Bible as a merely human production
like all other books, what will be the
place they will give it IN such litera-
ture? Where would the Bible stand
relatively by reason of its intrinsic
merits, simply as product of the in
tellect, moral conceptions and poetical
Imagination Of man alone?"
"Where would the Bib'e stand rel
atively by reason of its intrinsic
merits %
To which the Christian Union ed
tied by Dr.. Lyman Abbott says: $50
then, the Bible issnot seen to be divine
because it is seen to be a great book,
butt must be accepted by faith as a
great book because ecclesiastical ira
dition declares tito be divine! Com
pared with other books it is OF small
account! Moses cannot compare with
Scion and Justinian; nor Job with
Homer; nor Kings with Tacitus; nor
Proverbs with Confucius; nor Eccles-
tastes with Rousseau; nor Isaiah with
Marcus Aurelius; nor Paul with
Spinoza. If the Bible cannot hold
it's own in the worlds literature by
reason Of its intrinsic merits, it will
not hold it's own at all. The believer
in the Bible is the man who, in its
name, challenges the most searching
and the most thorough competitive
examination. The disbeliever in the
Bible is the man who dares not sub
ject it to literary test because he be-
lieves it would fail if put on trial.
We dare challenge admiration for the
Bible as the master literature Of the
world, for the purposes for which il
was given to the world"

Found In California.

A Duluth special says: After an
absence of nearly eight months the
whereabouts OF John K. Shaw who
disappeared 50 nysteriously from
here last October = have been
learned through letters received here
by members of his family. Shaw is
said to be living quietly in, small
California town which he will in the
near future leave to return here to
face the sensational stories and
charges which gained currency at
the time of his hasty departure.
Shaw was a prominent citizen Of
Duluth, brigadier general of the uni
formed rank of the Knights of
Pythlas, and was at one time city
assessor.
Three years ago he made the run
for the mayoralty, but was defeated,
it is said, by the Catholic element, he
being recognized leader of the
American Protestant association.
One day last fall he started for st.
Paul, and from there he disappeared
as if he had assembled the heavens in
balloon, leaving behind him con-
siderable Indebtedness in the shape
OF notes Endorsed by his friends
amounting to perhaps $4,000. He
was a good fellow and his trouble
was caused, SO it is explained, by his
living beyond his income. The diff
ferent orders OF which he is a men,
Der made many efforts to locate him
but without avail until the search
was given up. 1t was stated at the
time OF his going away that there
was Il woman in the case but this is
said not to have been true.

OF Interest to Whist PLAYERS.

The whist players Of America are
greatly interested because of the pres
ence on this side of the water Of Henry
Jones. the Englishman who writes on
this noble game of cards over the sigma
ture Of Cavcndish. Mr.. Jonesis here for
the purpose of taking part in the whist
congress that is to be held in Chicago,
and he is in great demand wherever he
goes. Whist players and newspaper
men beseech him for interviews, the
first class for the purpose of having
knotty points of play settled by his auto
cratic tips, and the second for copy that
may be sold for shekels. The players
are delighted because the great British
expertsay the american lead" has been
adopted by progressive English players,
and the reporters occasionally secure
enough of his time to enable the making
Of salable story.
It should be understood by the public
that the whist congress is in no sense a
part of or held under the auspices of the
officers of the Worlds fair. 1t is an an
nual gathering of whist players, who de-
cided to meet in Chicago this year pos
sibly because the fair is held there, but
its arrangements are entirely in their
hands and have been made independent
ly of the Columbian exposition's commits

An American Inferno.

A correspondent Of The Globe Demo-
GRAFT describes weird and wonderful
region he visited in the northwestern
part Of Mexico. On the dividing line
between the Mexican states of Sonora
and Lower California is a tract 85 miles
long from east to west and 10 to 10 miles
in width from north to south, which the
Indians long since POLITICALLY named
''Bad Mems Hunting Grounds" It is
probably such a region of miniature vol
canoes as exists nowhere else on this
globe. It contains thousands of volcanic
mounds, ranging in size 'tfrom a hen
coop to house of moderate dimensions"
and not trace of life, animal or vegeta-
BILE.
The district is 200 miles southwest Of
Yuma, A. T., and is reached by following
the Rio Colorado to the dry bed of one
of its tributaries. thence following this
dry bed to the volcanic pit. It is really
a basin 200 to 800 feet below sea level,
and why it does not fill up with water,
either salt or fresh, is one of natures I'M
explained mysteries. But the smells of
these sheol vomiting mounds! In de-
scribing them the writer rises to the
height of the poetic. There ara hot
springs, showers of mud, water and ash
es, puffs of smoke, and such boiling
seething and seeming that it makes the
beholder first dizzy, then sick. There is
a lake Of some kind of de,nonish stew
that is as black as ink. The prevailing
smell is that Of mixture of burning sui
phur and blue lick water, added to the
odor of a tar roofing pot. The writer
makes the statement on his honor as an
honest man that you can smell the basin
20 miles away.
At the basin itself, however, strangely
enough, scores Of springs of delicious
sweet water sparkle alongside the volcan'
icspouting mouths. Some day undoubt
edly this basin will become famous re-
sort for travellers. AS to the effect of it,
appearance on a stranger, our poetic cor
respondent says, "After the feeling o.
awe wears of, the first impression is tina
you are standing on the edge of hell.
What the impression is before the feel
ing of awe wears off we are not told.

Vacation time is coming, and the sea-
shore dweller is getting ready to go to
the mountains, the tired city man is pre-
pairing to go to the country, the dweller
of the interior is looking forward to a
visit to the city and the shore. Each de-
sires change, and so illustrates the law
that rest and recuperation come not so
much from cessation of activity some
times as from variety Of occupation and
new surroundings, new faces and new
scenery. It is.well that this is so, for
the visiting of new places and the max
ing of new acquaintance tend not only
to strengthen and refresh the tired toiler,
but to make him broader in his views
and filter to understand the large prob
lens that as citizen of this age Of change
and progress he must grapple with.

,LtfeItke Death.

The current number Of The Popular
Science Monthly contains paper timely
to the memorial season, and which will
be received with interest not alone by
veterans, but by men of science. Writing
of the Phenomena Of Death In Battle"
Mr.. George Z. Kilmer deals at length
with the mooted question, 'sDo men
sometimes retain in death the last atti-
tudes Of lifeY Citing the opinions Of
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan-G Grant in
the negative and Sherman and Sheridan
in the affirmative writer refers to
cases at Belmont, Antietam, Williams
burg and other fields of the civil war re-
ported by army surgeons, and also from
cases in the Crimean and Italian wars.
Soldiers were found dead from battle
wounds with various parts of the body
in the last attitudes of life and held so
by a severe rigidity, the onset of which
seemed to have been simultaneous with
the coming Of death. s.-.
The conservative view is that death is
in all cases followed by relaxation Of
muscles; hence the attitude held when
the body becomes rigid must be a new
one caused by the contractions of rigid
ity. The surgeons whose records are
given, however, found the rigidity and
tho warlike attitudes upon bodies still
warm and similar appearances upon
others where death had taken place from
few hours to "a. 48 and even 80 hours
before. The cause, the writer believes,
is cheat stiffening" of the juices of the
muscles. He finds that in all cases re-
ported the circumstances Of the action
favored great bodily heat combined with
excessive muscular action that would
create acid in the muscles and invite
early rigidity. He finds also an analogy
in the action Of lethal currents of cleo
tricity, which produce an instantaneous
and firm, although transient, rigidity.
Cases of rigidity in ifelke attitudes
from lightning stroke have been fire.
quently reported, but in common with
those found in the literature Of the bat
tlefeld, have been attributed to the i'm
agination of descriptive writers. The
records of men who stake professional
honor upon their statements contain
cases as startling and as remarkable as
any that have been brought into play to
adorn tales of the battlefield.

OVERRIDING Things.

No one Of the recent commercial fail.
ures has. . stronger lesson for men Of nm
bounded enterprise than that of Erastus
#Wiman Of New York city. For num-
Der Of years past Mr.. Wiman was special
representative of prosperous com
mercial agency, and the connection gave
him an income of SCI, 900 a year. enough
to satisfy ordinary ambition, and to earn
which it would seem that 800 and odd
working days are none.too long. Never
theless, Mr.. Wiman for five or six years
has been interested in variety of enter
prises, each Of which was enough to tax
one mans capacity for administrative
work. One of them was rapid transit
steamboat and railway line from New
York city across the bay and threading
Staten Island, lines aggregating over 80
miles. z- .,--5.-s So.
After making good progress couple
of years Mr.. Wiman retired before the
system was half complete, leaving the
control and management to others. A
second scheme was to thread the island
with electrical railways, motive power
to be furnished by lighting and motor
plant which has been under construction
over a year. Another enterprise has
been the erection of homes for the mid
ding classes, to be sold on installments,
with a life insurance policy to secure
the payment and to secure tho family of
the purchaser in case of death. AS a
preparation for this enterprise MIR. Wi
man secured the title to about 1000
acres Of farm land accessible and suit
able for the purpose. Incidentally he has
advocated and devised plans to carry out
building and loan association with the
insurance feature attached to the loans.
A racing association on the beach at
Staten Island is another project to which
Mr.. Wiman has given some attention.
All of these projects are feasible and
in line with public needs, and Mr.. Wi
mans intimate business associates de-
clare that if he had devoted himself to
any one of them exclusively he might
have made fortune for himself and
created public benefit as well. But
aside from inability to attend to so many
| irons at once Mr.. Wiman had insult
fcient capital at the start, although he
was fortunaec in possessing good credit
With inceptive enterprises resting upon
foundations liable to be shaken in every
financial furry, the final outcome might
have been looked for. And along with
Mr.. Wiman tumble the schemes. All
of them feasible and reputable in them
selves, they must carry the stigma of
having broken an enterprising man and
wait a long time for new investors.
Meanwhile the people who stand in
need of the improvements must be the
chief sufferers. Does that sort of a
mania for doing things pay?

At the bakery fire a few evenings
ago the Pine Tree company's pump
was turned ON again, and as no
hydrants were open at that time
they created pressure enough to
burst a pipe in the yards between the
saw mill and planning mill. The
damage has been repaired, and their
system is again in working order.
The flow of water was so great
through the break that both of the
pumps lat the Electric & Water
station and at the milD could not
give the firemen any pressure until
the line having the break was shut
off. 1t was fortunate that the en-
ployes OF the Pine Tree company
promptly discovered the cause of the
fall Of the pressure.
