Above All Other Sciences-Among
the Thousands Who Have Heard
Of Astrology{ Few Know the
Meaning Thereof Birthday Pre-
dictions for the Week, Etc.

by Prof. Macdonald, Binghamton N. "
The world at large certainly has a
desire to learn something of the mys-
teries of that science which has engag-
ed the reverence and belief of all for
mer ages. Of all sciences which have
at any time occupied the attention Of
the world, there is not one of which
the principles are less generally known
IN the present age, than those of as
trology. People of late seem to have
satisfied themselves with merely know
ing the import of the name. Such con-
tented ignorance, especially in persons
otherwise well informed, is the more
extraordinary, since astrology has sus-
tanned most conspicuous part in the
history of the world. In the east,
where it first arose at a period of very
great antiquity, it even now is held in
great esteem. In every part of the
world it reigned supreme in the 10th
century. 1t entered into the councils
of kings, guided the policy Of nations
and ruled the daily actions Of individ-
uals.
All this is attested to by the records
OF every nation which has a history,
and none more fully than by those of
Egypt and England Yet, with these
striking facts before their eyes, the
present generation seem never, until
now, to have inquired on what basis
this belief of their forefathers was es-
tablished. Among a thousand persons
who treat the mention of astrology
with ridicule, there is not one who
KNOWS what it is he laughs at Astrol-
ogy has been neglected in consequence
OF the sudden growth of undoubted
Ec1ence, which during thousands of
years of the reign of astrology were
either unborn or were slumbering in
contented infancy.
The study Of astrology, as profess
ing to discover by celestial phenomena
the future of terrestrial things, is not
TO be despised. In attempting to in
dlcate the ancient credence in astrol-
ogy, 1t should be sufficient to refer to
the und1sputed fact, that the science
was formerly inculcated by the highest
authorities of the times, and that Sit

Special Correspondence of the Globe
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. June 25.-A
new and remarkable field has been
opened to electricity as an illuminant
science has discovered that an electric
hght bath is one of the most healthful
tnlngs In which humanity can indulge
Inc man who has made this idea a.
practical success is DR.. J. H. Kellogg.
OF this city. More than one person lives
To-Day who In great measure owe their
continued existence to the virtue of
bathing in the glare Of the electric
light
the idea has been kept largely in
apeyance until just now, when it has
peen placed before the public and it
is safe to say that no medical and sci
entif1c discovery has created a greater
sensation in years than this one lust
announced regarding electric light. Ra-
diant heat has long been employed by
doctors In the form of the sun, but it
has been found that the rays from an
lncandescent lamp have far greater
penetrative power than those which
come from the sun itself.
The great trouble with the sun bath
has been it's constant variability. The
patient who sought this as a remedy
for his ills was compelled to trust to
Providence day by day. At one time
the heat would be fierce, at another so
gentle as to be hardly efficacious.
Again, it was quite likely there would
be no sun at all. The electric light can
be utilized with the same force every
day of the year. It's strength is not at
tendant in the least upon the elements.
but. on the contrary, is under the con-
troll Of the physician at all times The
result is a steadiness and uniformity
of treatment which have accomplished
wonders.
TO thoroughly appreciate electricity
one must consider it's component parts.
1t is not only the light that we see
which benefits US, but it is the proper
ties of that light which come from
sources SO ancient as to have been for
gotten. The sunlight makes plants
grow. 1t makes trees grow It aids
all vegetation in development, and in
doing this imparts its own properties
that are highly beneficial to the very
things that it aids. Particularly is this
SO in tropical countries, but it is al
ways so wherever there are vegetation
and trees.
Now, when in the course of ages, the
vegetation buried deep beneath the
surface Of the earth becomes, by the
processes of time, slowly crystaIized
into coal it still contains those same
properties which the sun impaired to
it centuries before. Therefore, when
by means of coal we produce the power
that enables the dynamo to furnish
the electric light, we are really bring
ing back to earth again the resusci-
tated sunlight Of olden times. SO it can
be seen that the electric light is moth
ing more nor less than condensed sun
light which shines at our bidding
Taking this as a basis, medical sci
ence has evolved the present situation,
and the result is what is called the
horizontal cabinet. In this the patient
takes his electric bath. The cabinet
is seven feet in length. five feet high
and four feet wide. The patient lies
in the cabinet upon a couch which

1uence of heat and air is experienced.
Now, air is very poor conductor, and.
therefore, communicates heat to tn
body slowly. The skin also hinder5
the absorption of the heat, being an
excellent non-conductor Heat alb
sorption is further delayed. by the
rapid evaporation of moisture from the
surface of the skin. Under these cir
cumstances the skin of a person is
cooled so quickly that he may enter
and remain for considerable length of
time exposed to a dry atmosphere at
temperature far above the boiling
point. 1t is possible for a person to
take a Turkish bath at a temperature
of more than 300 degrees without suf-
fering inconvenience.
The experiments which have been
made at Battle Creek are attracting
the widest attention among all inter
ested in medical science. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that the farther the heat
can be made to penetrate into the It's
sues. the more beneficial will be the
effect. The reason for this is that 1t
thereby influences a large number of
the more delicate nerve fibers, making
its effect on the nerve centers much
greater and thus helping the nutrftiva
process. 1t may be that the electric
bath can be made to keep the tissues
in repair and thus prolong life indeff-
nitely. Certainly the medicO and thu
layman will await with equal interest
the result of further experiments IN
this direction.

The Convention of the Postmasters General

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June &c. - Within
three weeks there have been fifteen
postmasters general in Washington.
They were from Hungary, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Chile, Denmark, Egypt, Cape
Colony, Austria, India, Mexico, Nor
way, Holland the Transvaal and
Sweden. These gentlemen were dele
gates to the universal postal congress,
lately in session here. Sixty-two ma
tions were represented in this conven-
ton by 104 delegates and attaches. The
object was to improve postal facilities
throughout the world. This is done
by the action of the convention, after
ward ratified by the different govern
ments represented.
The United States was the first to
suggest such a convention. The sug-
gestion was made by Postmaster Cen
eral Montgomery Blair in 1853 The
first convention, however. was not held
until 1874. Only six nations were repre-
scented, and they met in Berne. The
second was held in Paris in 1878; the
third in Lisbon in 1885; the fourth in
Vienna In 1891, and the fifth in WASH
ington at the present day The sixth
will be held in Rome in 1904.
The convention met in the old Cor
