Various Theories as TO the Location Of

Various Theories as TO the Location Of
Paradise and Hadcs.
He'll and heaven beliefs had thcir
origin about the year l50 b. c., and
since that time there have been thou
sands of attempts to locate these places,
the one Of future punishment and the
other of everlasting happiness. Tho old
mediaval idea of hell is the one which
gives as to understand that the devil
and his imps have their furnaces and
their caldrons and other articles Of in.
fernal utility constantly working some
where within the bowels Of the earth.
On the other hand, we are told and be-
lieve that heaven is an abode of light,
beauty and JOY located far above the
earth One writer believes that heaven
will be on planet which will be pre-
pared for the saints in the last day, and
another believes that this earth, burned
over and purified by fire, will be the final
resting place of those who escape the
horrors Of perpetual punishment in the
hell that has been prepared "for those
who love sin. DIR. Winston, the friend
Of Sir Isaac Newton and the first Of the
great race of speculative astronomers, -
believes that hell is located on q comet.
But the most curious theory we have
ever investigated was that advanced by
DR.. Mortimer, author OF "The Spirit Of
God as Fire. One Of the several sub.
stitutes of this remarkable book was one
which gave the reader to understand
that the author believed that heaven j:
located on the inner globe Of the sun.
This substitute was "The Globe Within
the Sun Our Heaven. According tC
Mortimer $ theory, our sun is surround
ed by an envelope or photosphere OF
flame 100, 600 miles itself. Taken al
together, this idea of the photosphere il
a vast nonluminous void. Farther ON il
the great globe of the sun itself
Taken all together, this idea of thl
sun may be aptly compared to Il peacl
or plum. The envelope Of flame occu
pies the place Of the skin, the was

meat Of the fruit and the central glob

sun globe, inside the great fiery envel
ope, DR.. Mortimer believed heaven &

should Spain grant such concessions,
which no doubt she would gladly do on

Cuba, the patriots would never accept
them without the strongest kind of guar

States. And il is doubtful if the Cubans
would now accept compromise even
then. Absolute freedom is what the Gu
bans have been fighting for. They have
given their worldly goods, comfort and

self government, and now that they are

CALLS THE WAR IN CUBA MURDER

A Foreign Dynasty, He Declares, Has
Dared to Disregard American Public
Law on American Soil and Insists That
Time Fer Peace Negotiations Has Passed.
TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 29-At the recent
meeting of the south Atlantic and gulf
states coast and harbor defense improve
ment convention held in this city Gen.
eral John NJ SchoGeld, the retired com
mander of the United States army, was
chosen permanent chairman In his speech
of acceptance which has not before been
printed. he urged immediate intervention
by the United States TO put a stop TO the
war in Cuba.
He was not believer, he said, in the
doctrine that occasional wars are necessary
to keep alive the fires Of Patriotism and
military ardor in the breasts of young
Americans These great virtues, together
with elementary military training, should
be taught in all the schools. He continued
Let our boys and young men see con
stantly before them the mighty means pro-
yided by a free people to hurl back any at.

even, if need be, to crush to the ground
any dynsasty that may dare TO disregard

the great American republic has ceased
for the moment to be mighty because
she finds herself unarmed.

consult your law bool5sg No You seize
her by the throat if necessary and save

afterward adept the infant or turn it loose
to take care of itself, there win be plenty
of time TO consider.
what Makes Governments Mad.
Supposed dynastic necessities some
times make governments mad Must we
look calmly on while such madness works
its fiendish will in the very garden whence
we get our choicest food: Where our own
money has been invested to produce the
supplies we need, No. This great Ameri.
can republic has a duty to do, which is
only limited by the sphere of its Legitimate
continental influence. The very fact that
this sphere docs not include any other con
tinent of the world makes only the more
plain and easy our duty here at home or
this continent which belongs to us and
our brethren, from the Arctic to the Ant
