A Narrow Escape

A young man named Mayha, who re-
ldes on Central avenue, between Ninth
nd Tenth streets, had a narrow escape
'om serious injury yesterday about noon.
le was riding on his bicycle on Central
venue between the car tracks, and when
etween Third and Fourth streets two cars
pproaching him from opposite directions
early caught the man. However, he saw
he north-bound car in time, and realizing
lat the space between the tracks was not
ide enough for him to stay between the
lrs, he tried to cross in front of the south
ound car. Just as he turned the bicycle
ipped and threw him In front of the
ipidly moving car. Captain Roberts and
Ulcer Cox were seated on the outside
atform. and both thought that he had
tiien In front of the car and been run
yer. The force of the fall had sent Mayha
ear OF the track, and but for a few bruises
was not injured.

BURNED IN A BOILER
Warm Experience Of Fred Taixe-A
Marrow Escape

Through the carelessness of some one
Fred Take is in a sanitarium, suffering
from a bad burning he received on Tues
day. He is an employe of the Los Angeles
Electric company at Seventh and Alameda
streets, and had crawled into one Of the
boilers for the purpose of cleaning it. The
boiler had, Of course, been allowed to cool
some hours before, and Takes duties kept
him for some time in the boiler. Another
employee of the company forgot that Take
was inside, or supposed that he had had
sufficient time in which to complete his
work, and without investigating, proceeded
to turn on the steam.
The jet of steam burst into the boiler
with great speed, and before Take had
any idea Of his danger he was completely
enveloped and burned by the steam. He
fortunately happened to be close to the
mouth Of the boiler, and, cropping his way,
called for help. The alarm was immedi-
ately given, and he was assisted from his
place Of torture. DR.. Wing was sum-
moned and an examination made of his
injuries. 1t was found that the man had
been badly burned on the back and other
parts of his body and had also suffered
from contact with the hot cloud. He was
sent to a sanitarium.

DR.. JORDAN'S LECTURE
ALTRUISM AS A FACTOR IN
EVOLUTION
AN INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE
This Is Not an Age OF Reason-Forces
of Evolution-What Altruism
lists influence

Prof. David Starr Jordan, president of
stamford university. delivered a very able
and highly intellectual lecture on "Altru-
ism as a Factor In Evolution before a
large and appreciative audience at Music
hall last evening.
In his preliminary remarks Prof. Jordan
said, In part: ut is often said that this
is an age Of reason. but it Is not true. We
do not recognize reason as the ultimate
court of appeal in the solution of the diff
culties that confront us. Reason Is only a
process by which we are able to find out
certain things. Many true courses of rea-
soning do not always lead us to the truth.
All that we know Is by human experience.
All that we learn is by experiment. We
cannot reason without human experience
as a base. The great fault of many people
is that they base everything on a train of
reasoning. This Is entirely wrong.
Prof. Jordan illustrated that the knowl-
edge Of this fact was used to the advantage
of certain people. He touched on the Gre
dulity of people who pinned their faith to
quack medicines, the advertising of which
is written in a manner that compels many
people to admit and believe that what
stands to reason must be true. He ex-
planned that the way to learn the truth is
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-03-31

themselves of the annoyances they COM
planned of in society. they found the diff
ficulties had come with them to Altruria.
THE SOCIAL SYSTEM
1.-THE social system today is the most per-
feet that ever existed. That is why we are
able to see its flaws. 1t is easier to pick
out the flaws in a fine race horse than to
point out those of hackney plug" In one
Altrurian colony, where all were entitled
to an equal voice in the administration OF
affairs, Prof. Jordan showed the cause Of
it's failure to have been in the fact that no
two men in any community could have
an equal voice in its government. or hav-
ing an equal voice, each would want his
voice needed; thus through a variety of
policies, which must necessarily conf1icr,
the overthrow Of the community would
follow.
at would be possible to develop an AL
truia with a monarch with divine insight
at its head, but 1 do not believe an Altruia
could be developed under a republican
form Of government.
"Individualism and collectivism both
have their places in political economy.
Would 1t not be best to have collectivisrl
In everything? Or would 1t not be as bad
as anarchy to have individualism in every
thing? Let the answer be-experiment. II
a thing is just it will be best for every
body. What we have to fear most in this
country is not the oppression of the rich,
but the weakness Of the poor. for as long
as they are weak they will be oppressed
by something. The only solution of the
labor problem is through the Individual
laboring man. Let him throw off his
weakness and you will find that capital Will
stand back and let him take the place he
is qualified to fill'
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-03-31

BILE emotion. 1t is as robust as hunger. 1t
is essential. We find altruistic relations IN
the very lowest forms of life. 1t Is the In
fuence OF altruism that causes the ants
to live together in the hills they construct.
1t is the same influence of altruism that
prompts the mother to risk her life In the
protection of her young. The principle of
altruism Is the foundation Of all affection.
The very essence of religion Is altruism.
Altruism is the principle Of true charity.
There is one phase of altruism that 1
desire to touch upon" continued the lee
turer, 1.-THE effort to make altruism eff
fective by legislation and government. 1t
has been tried in general way and it Is
a thing that government cannot do. Fra
ternity by force of arms has been tried.
The French revolution shows what dis
NAL failure it was. Those who strove
hardest for this fraternity by force of arms
soon found it in the grave. where all men
are equal.
ALTRURIA
"Men have wanted to get out of this
struggle for existence; to get away from
the worries and vexations of the social and
business world they grew up in. They rea-
soned and hoped that II they could get
away from the rush after the almighty dol
lar, If they could only separate them
selves from their brother men, they would
know happiness and be at peace. Mr..
Howell invented the word Altruria, COM
bination of the words altruist and Utopia.
In this ideal place were to be found equal
ity and fraternity" Prof. Jordan ex-
planned that the men who withdrew them
selves from the trials and tribulations Of
the world were men Of merit, who thought
themselves unappreciated by the world.
They were also men Of one idea, who were
not capable nor willing to grasp any other
idea and finding that they did not get
along with the world withdrew themselves
from it, and in conjunction with others Of
similar circumstances established these
Altruistic communities, only to find after
trial that the causes that MADE them dis
contented with the world were not the
faults Of the world, but were to be found
within themselves. Instead of Kidding

by accident sails without him. He makes
a great reputation as Il surgeon, and mar

widow. He buys a country-Seat at Jala-
Jala, where he makes friends with the
native leaders and enlists them and some
OF their followers as his guard. La Giro
Mere commands all the local gendarmerie
of the province. The author graphically
relates numerous adventures he expert
enccs. He loses his wife, his brother and
other relatives and friends. He seeks the
solitude of the far interior and journeys to
the country of the Ajetas, a wild tribe,
aborigines of the Philippines. Having
previously noticed several graves at a
short distance from his bivOuac an idea
struck him Of carrying away a skeleton OF
one of the savageS, which would be a
curiosity to present to the Jardin des
Plantes or to the Museum of Anatomy at
Paris. The undertaking was one of great
danger, on account of the veneTatiOn OF
the Aietas for their dead.

We Immediately made a large fire on the
down bamboOs and rattans; then we set to
work to- stop the holes, which decreased
fast enough under our bandywork upon
the abandoned canoe.
Persons who have never travelled
amongst the savages cannot imagine how,
without having been instructed in the
arts, and without nails, one could stop

in state fit for sea. Yet the means

than the opening we wished to close, and
then with the point of the poignard VIC
pierced it all round with little holes, to
match those which were made in the same

with long strings of the rattan, which we
split up and made fine, we sewed the little
plank to the boat just as one would q

sewing with the elemi gum, and were sure
the water could not pass through. The
