Mormonism Is spreading its mission

for more than half century, have
Increased in numbers remarkably with
in the past two years, until now there
are 140 preachers Of the faith in the
East and upward Of 500 regularly as
signed propagandists in the South, Last
year 10000 converts were baptized in
the United States, to say nothing of the
many who came in companies each
month from Europe on their way to the
Land of Promise,
Already the church Is absolute in
Utah. Tammany is not better organic
ed for political work, nor is 1t one whit
more political machine than the or
ganisation over which President Wood
ruff presides. Tammany rules over a
city. The Mormon Church controls a
State, and moreover, it has no oppos-
Ing organization to hinder it's move-
ments or to compromise with. 1t is the
only machine there is, and it's influence
Is growing fast.
People in the East are wont to think
of Mormonism as confined to the dis.
trict around Salt Lake City, in Utah,

AForerunner of the Paper Age.

Camille Flammarion, in his wierd
piece of fiction called Omega" in
which he describes the end of the
world, says in one place, There were
ITO forests; they had long since been
converted into paper" There may be
a paper age coming. The product ev-
cry day finds new uses. Paper wheels,
bricks, floors, carpets, buckets, dishes,
things, ETC., are common. An entire
house has just been constructed of
paper at Hamburg. Its walls are COM
posed of a double layer OF paper,
stretched upon frames and impregna-
ted with a fire and waterproof solu-
ton. A thin wooden partition affords
further. protection against the inclem-
ency of the weather. The roofs and
walls are fastened together by means
of bolts and hinges, so that the en-
tire structure may be rapidly taken to
pieces and put up again. The dining
room itself measures 75x15 feet, and is
capable of accommodating $50 persons.
There are twelve windows and four
skylights, and the heating is effected
by couple of isolated stoves.
