said did much to cause the old mans
death. Now nearly all the large cities
have dailieS that use the cartoon, but
it is losing its force or power to sway
the multitude. A hasty glance and a
look of disgust or amusement, as the
case may be, is now all the effect no.
ticeable when the political cartoon is
displayed. 1t is newspaper fad, but
has lost it's effectiveness for either good
or evil.
WILL WIN.
Tulare Register: Women are not yet
tc be admitted as lay delegates to the
general conference of the NJ E. Church,
though they have come precious near
il, The total vote on the proposition was
10,044, and as it takes three fourths
vote to carry there had to be 7,544 bal
lots cast for women in order for them
to win the fight, but they lacked just
eighteen votes of having enough. 1t is
a poor rule that requires a three-fourths
vote to change a constitution, but the
women will win next year sure. With
only eighteen votes to gain to secure
equal rights in the conference the final
issue cannot be doubtful.
THE HARBOR SITUATION.
Los Angeles Express: It must be very
evident to even the most obtuse mind
that she Express" was right when 1t
said that Los Angeles must take all
that was offered her, or she was liable
TO get nothing. The vote of the Senate
Committee on Commerce yesterday
shows conclusively that for several
years to come the San Pedro or nothing
proposition will mean literally nothing.
The Senators have wisely concluded
that the first thing to be considered is
the welfare of the country at large, and
that they have nothing to do with our
local quarrel here. They have taken the
position of the House committee in IA
vor of double appropriations. 1t is very
generous, and will be a great help to
this community. If the Senate and
House shall confirm the action of the
committee, Los Angeles will enjoy an
era of growth and prosperity such as
no city has ever experienced before.
MCKINLEY BOOM.
Alameda Telegram: If present indi-
cation counts for anything, California
will send a Mckinley delegation to St
Louis. Several months ago it was gen
orally conceded that an unpledged del
egation would go from this State, but
during the past few weeks a decided
change of feeling has undoubtedly
taken place. The Mckinley boom has
struck California and is making itself
manifest from one end of the State TO
the other. County after county is elect
ing delegates who will go to the State

Perhaps you will allow me to send you
the following specimen of a 'bull''
which l heard from a Roman Catholic
pulpit in England. The preacher may
have been an Irishman, but I am not
sure. He was speaking of the transi-
toriness of earthly things. Look at
the great cities of antiquity" he ex-
claimed; where are they now? Why
some Of them have perished so utterly
that it is doubtful if they ever existed -

MUSKRATS AND OWLS.
One Breathes Under the Ice and the
Other Sees Long Distances.

At the meeting of the Boston Scien-
tific Society Tuesday evening, c. J.
MAYNARD spoke of muskrats and other
animals which he had caught and
studied. Mr.. Maynard's paper was
largely from his own observation He
spoke quite at length about the musk
rat, which, although very common
animal, is little understood by nat
uralists, who need much further OBJ
servation to clear up certain obscure
points.
In the winter time the animal builds
for itself houses which are low domes
and have a floor above the surface of
the water, the only entrance being be-
low the surface. of the water Some
times the houses are built upon the ice

The Earliest Architecture an Outcome %
Ancestor Worship.

The Earliest Architecture an Outcome %
Ancestor Worship.
Tho est.urchitecture bequeathed
by ancient nations was an outcome OF
ancestor-worship. Its first phases were
exhibited in either tombs or temples,
which, as we have long ago seen, are
the less developed and more developed
forms Of the same thing. Hence, as
being both appliances for worship, now
simple and now elaborate, both came
under the control Of the priesthood;
and the inference to be drawn is that
the first architects were priests.
An illustration which may be put
first is yielded by ancient India. Says
Manning: architecture was treated
as sacred science by learned lIindus."
Again we read in Hunter:
"Indiap architecture, although also
ranked as an upa-veda or supplement-
ary part of inspired learning, derived
its development from Buddhist rather
than from Drahmanical impulses"
In Tennent's Ceylon there are pas
sages variously exhibiting the rela-
tions between architecture and relig-
ion and it's ministers. BY many peoples
the cave was made the primitive tomb:
temple; and in the east it became in
some cases largely developed. A stage
Of the development in Ceylon is de-
scribed ns follows:
"In the Raiayali Devenipiatissa is
said to have caused cayerns to be cut ia
the solid rock at the sacred place OF
Mihintala;' and these are the earliest
residences for the higher orders of the
priesthood in Ceylon, Of which record
has been preserved, Herbert Spen-
Ger, in Appleton's Popular Science
| Monthly.
