when it was to the interest of the slave

doing. There is no class of people in
the world who have such an oppor-

the struggle and turmoil of business.
They have six days in the week in
which to investigate and prepare their
thoughts unalloyed by the vexation
that surrounds every other character of
teacher. When ministers go into poll
tics and apply the moral teachings of
Christ, explaining to the people how
they may realize a condition here
on earth as it is in heaven, what
laws will be necessary to bring it
about and showing them how
such and such laws would have such
and such effects, then the churches will
be far more powerful than the bum
and saloon element of the nation.

BOGUS REDEMPTION.

NaA ~
EDITOR ADVoCATE:-NoW that Kan
sas is redeemed, and the redeemers are
busy lighting over the spoils, let us re-
view the results of our recent election.
III has always been a well-knoWn fact
that the law-snd- order loving people of
Kansas were in a great majority. This
fact has been demonstrated by the pas
sage of the prohibitory amendment,
and in other ways where any moral re-
form has been squarelY and honestly
submitted to a vote of the people. This
fact is as well known to the prOfes-
sional politician as it is to the whole
sale liquor man who is ever on the alert
to gain vantage ground in Kansas
and who is ever willing to contribute
to campaign fund in Kansas if he has
the assurance that his goods will find
sale under the administration Of the
ticket which he is to support.
This willy element from without, to-
gether with their allies who are within,
have repeatedly shown their cunning
and superior sagscity in the manner in
which they have hoodwinked the moral
voter Of the state with their redemp.
tion fakes. No one doubts for one
moment that the hue and cry raised
against the Lewelling administration
By this same element, who did it under
contract with the republican csndi
dates that the law should not be en-
forced In case of their success, is what
defeated the POpulist ticket in this
state.
The people did the best they could;
they we're simply sold out, that is all.
They struck a blow at what they
deemed a wrong, and in the interest OF
what they were assured would be a
moral reform. Governor LeWelling did
not 60 into Office upon a moral reform
platform, yet no one who is acquainted
with the facts will dispute that the
laws were better enforced under his
administration than they are being en-
forced to-day.
There is nothing more disgusting
than the yelp of the good preachers
who are now making so much noise
about the enforcement of the prohibi
tory law, and who, before the election
advised their people to vote the repub-
llCan ticket. 1t has become customary
with the average preacher of Kansas tc
advise their flocks to vote the republi.

The smoke from smelling furnaces

notable of which are gold and silver.
AT an American smelling works me-
chanical means are being taken to col

hue about 800 yards in length, through
which the gases are drawn by means of
fans. After passing through the fue
the gases are passed under pressure into

600 square yards of filtering material
exposed. Through this the gases, now
freed from mineral matter in suspen-
sion, find their way to the chimney.

MAN EATERS OF THE PACIFIC.
Sharks That Are the Dread of the Cali
fornia Fishermen.

Sharks That Are the Dread of the Cali
fornia Fishermen.
The true man eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coast is known only as
man eater The shovel nosed sharks are
sand sharks, too -cowardly to attack
even yellow dog. The 81 foot shark
captured by some fishermen of the true
man eater variety (Carcharodon carcha
rias) seemed brave enough and savage
enough to attack anything within its
reach. This monsters mouth was wide,
the teeth long and sharp, with an in
ward incline. The stomach would hole
a full grown man easily and good
deal besides. The fish became entangled
in net off Point Lama. Two boats at,
tackled the vicious creature and finally
succeeded in punching an iron into its
vitals The side Of one boat was STAYED
in by blow forcible enough to knock
one fisherman overheard.
These sharks have been known to at
tack small boat, upset it and eat the
oarsman. A man eater over AZ feet long
has been reported below San Diego
The natives are said to live i'll fear of
this awful fish, which already has the
record of having eaten six men. 1t has
been shot frequently. The water about
it has been discolored with blood. Yet
the shark still lives. The tiger shark is
as ferocious as the man eater. Another
large shark hereabouts is the basking
shark. 1t is taken measuring Is to 40
feet in length. The skin of one 80 feet
long is at Stanford University museum
This skin alone weighs over 1000
pounds, while the sharks liver produc-
ed $50 gallons of oil. These sharks
however. are sluggish, lazy and do not
bite people Their gill rakers are on the
whale model. When entangled in net
they frequently suffocate, as the net re-
stricts the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
five foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long weigh
ing 300 to 500 pounds. Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines When hooked,
the fish is allowed to swim about the
bay towing a two inch plank. When
he is exhausted, the line is hauled in,
and the fish killed with an ax.-New

THE SEAS INVASION.
Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fiat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half mile since the days Of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
the walls of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney flats,
where the ancient castle of Lympne has
reoeded mile OF more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground of sea bottom. But on the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon time must have stood
we'll in shore, and Dunluoe bears wit
ness to the ravages that have taken place
within a few centuries, a few ticks Of
the clock as biologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the oatas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds. Then home and strong
hold, now but memento Of past joy
and glory.
Another marked example of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, on the
Yorkshire coast. Only 20 years ago
there was a pathway running around the
ancient church of ST. Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock. Now this is 80
broken away on the seward side that
1t is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined. -Argosy.
