No Conf dence In the Guru.

1t is not safe to trust utterly the guild
ance of the Hindoo fancy or to put great
reliance upon intellects which are so little
troubled by contradictions and absurdi-
ties. OF course there are notable excep-
tions In such careful scholars as DR.. Bhan-
darkar of Poona. l may tell right here
brief story which throws light on some of
these things. The late Ramkrishpa Para
mahamsa was called by one of his disci-
pies In talking with me in Calcutta "the
greatest man of the nineteenth century"
He is believed by some to have influenced
Keshub Chunder Sen. He was the reli-
gious teacher, the guru, of Vivekananda.
Max Muller dubs him "a true mahat.
ma" The learned Oxford professor told
me that he asked Vivekananda if Ram
krishna knew Sanskrit. The answer at
first was evasive, but finally he said,
"When Ramkrishna was in the jungle as
an ascetic, beautiful woman came down
from heaven and taught him the Ian
guage" Max Muller's very natural reply
was: Nonsense! The only way to learn
Sanskrit is to get grammar and die
tionary and go to work Outlook,

The announcement OF the race to take

Bacteria IA yermin Extermipators.

Perhaps one of the most remarkable
uses to which bacteria have been put is
that of yermin exterminators or poison
ing agents 1t was in the year 1889 that
Professor Loeffler, while experimenting
with mice in his laboratory at Greifswald,
discovered a micro organism which was
extremely fatal to all kinds of mice. The
happy idea occurred to the professor that
this lethal little microbe, which he chris
tened bacillus typhi murium, might be
turned to excellent account in combating
plaques of field mice In grain fields, where
the devastation committed by these vora-
cious rodents had become in parts of Greece
and Russia a serious source of loss to agri-
culturists. Experiments were accordingly
made on small scale to test the efficiency
of this bacterial poisoner in destroying
field mice, and so successful were the re-
suits that Loeffler confidently announced
the possibility of keeping down these pests
by distributing food material infected
with these bacteria over fields which were
invaded by them. The Greek government
took up the question, and Loefller's meth.
cd was applied with brilliant results; the
disease was disseminated with extraordi-
nary rapidity and severity and the mice
were readily destroyed. -Longman' Mag

THE NEWsBOYS DREAM.

1t Was His Idea OF What Would BE Alb
soluteiy Ideal Conditions.
The American newsboy can almost
be said to have created genus for him
self. If he has any, he has certainly
created it, for of all the inhabitants Of
this planet there is none who is so abso-
lutely independent, so thoroughly con-
fident of his own exertions. He has a
self Importance. derived from his ability
to support or part, ally support himself,
which places him high above the rank
of the ordinary gamin, and he generally
possesses what is far more important in
any community-ready money. He is
the capitalist of our junior civilization,
the Count Esterhazy Of newsboys' alley.
He can play craps for money when other
boys are constrained TO pursue this de-
lectable amusement with only the mild
er if more intellectual pleasure of study
ing the fluctuations of fortune, or, at
most, hazarding cigarette pictures
He may swear little more than is
necessary, but in general is not half
bad. His train of thought is usually
healthy and vigorous and has robust
ness born of the outer air in which he
spends so much of his time. Physically
he is agile and almost tireless. While
apparently reckless in most things, he
is, on the whole, careful of his health
he is scarcely ever known to smoke
whole cigarette at n time. His intellect
is as keen as razor. He keeps it con-
tinually honed on the strop of expert
ence. Everything carries for him a les
son. From the sale of the largest Sun
day paper to that of the most unpreten-
tious weekly there is nothing he does
not profit by.
He is born statist, self educated
strategist. He has the nice art of going
far enough and yet never overstepping
himself. On the eve of such an occasion
he will vociferate, "All about the cleo
tion," but don't ever expect of whom
until you buy the paper. Pleasure and
other things occupy fair proportion of
his time, but with him the distribution

WHAT KEEPS re SUN HOT.

According 60 the most recent investlga-
tions. the temperature of the sun Is some-
where between 5000 and 5000 degrees
centigrade. and there are reasons Tor be-
neying that for hundreds of thousands,
perhaps for millions, az years it has been
radiating heat into space with no nppre-
ciable loss OF temperature. We're the sun

According To the theory of these scientists
the sun. which is simply mass of gaseous
matter, is now and has been for ages con-
tracing its dimensions-is growing small
Grand the mechanical heat produced in
this process is precisely that which it is
continually throwing off into space. Lord
Kelvin calculated that a contraction of
the sun, under the force of gravity, which
diminished its diameter TO the extent Of
four miles century, would fully ac-
count for its heat supply, enormous as it
Is. The sun might contract at this rate
for several thousand years before there
would be any diminution of it's size per-
ceptible even through telescope. OF
course, this process has limit and even
tually the sun, having become too dense to
contract further, must begin to cool off,
but not for some 10, 600, 900 or 90, 600, 900
years, says Lord Kelvin.-Philadelph

stringent prohibition laws have failed

were hung with black and celebrated

Furnished Excitement
and Fun for Many
OnlookerS.
Dogs of All Sizes and COlOrs
Were There 90 Contest for the Priz $
The First and Second Races
CaptYred by One Dog.

There was more iun than circus at
the dog races on Calumet avenue last
Saturday afternoon and the avenue was
lined with crowds of people anxious TO
see the sport Strictly speaking, the
races were good and, as far as excitement
went, they could not be beaten. There were
dogs of all sizes and colors in the races,
from the insignificant yellow cur to the
big Newfoundland.
The first race was entered by a large
number and they all got away together
and started down the avenue in good
order. There was only one smash-up in
this race. two of the dogs getting mixed
up in free-for-a al fight. The winner OF
first place in this race dIstanced the
Others and the boy who rode o. care
Of his dog in true lckey style. The Sec
ond race was between the winners Of
first. second and third places in the first
race, and resulted the same as the first
event.
The third race was a sort OF consola-
ton event and was the best of the lot.
Two OF the dogs got into the habit OF
boiling off the road about every hundred
yards and by the time the boys got them
back again the other dog, which was
barely walking, had such lead that he
won the race.
Kodaks were numerous along the street
and some fine snap shots CT the dogs
were taken.
