but i'll lSS% he formally withdrew from
the succession and his brother, tie pres

Years ago Prince Napoleon, nicknamed
'Pion-Plon,' was invited to occupy the
throne of Roumania as the first king of
the country. At that time he believed
that it might be possible for him to as
cend the throne of France, SO he did not
hesitate to decline the offer. His dream
was not to be realized, however, and the
man who had declined one crown in the
hope that he might obtain another lost
both and died in solitary exile.
The crown of Spain is also among those
that have been refused. Early in the
present century Ferdinand VII renowned
the thlone in favor of his father. who, in
his turn, declined the crown in favor
of the great Napoleon. The people OBJ

Men Who Have Re-
fused Kingly Crowns
YOUNG ALFRED OF CONNAUGHT TAKES THE RULERSIuP OF SAKE
COBURGGoTHA WHICH HAS OFTEN GONE BEGGING.

The problem of the lady and the tiger is
nothing to the dilemma in which the
Dukeo of Connaught has been placed. BY
the death of Prince Alfred of Saxe-Co-
burg-Gotha he came into direct line to
that reigning dukedom, not only being
heir by heredity, but also by a special
succession act.
The dream of his life, however, has had
little in common with SaXe-Coburg, for it
has been his ambition to become COM
mander-in-chief of the British army.
Or course 1t is impossible for him to hold
both positions and the problem that has
troubled him has been whether to accept
the dukedom or to wait for his opportun-
lty to become commander-in-chief, an
honor which, as the third son of the queen
he might vet realize.
When the duke visited this country
many years ago he was much liked by
those who met him, but he has never
been very popular in England. The rea-
son for this is that he has never done
anything to distinguish himself, and the
English people like to observe some
traits of individuality in their royal
princes, even if this individuality some
times chances to run in channels that
are not entirely commendable.
Inc position of major general in the
army, which is held by the duke. came to
NH w iISnt as the son OF the queen and
not by any military achievements. but
this. his friends claim, is the fault of his
mother. They insist that the duke is nat
urally a very brave man and that he
would long ago have made a name for
himself in the profession of arms if the
queen had not prevented him from going
to war. Those who do not know this are
inclined to hold it against him. and while
they generally respect him as a consci-
entious nan they do not admire him
greatly.
n refusal of the dukedom of SaXe-Co-
burg, however. will convey the success
sion to the son of the duke, Prince Ar
thur, who is now a student at Elton. While
but sixteen years of age the young prince
has already developed traits of character
that have made him very popular among
his companions. To him the dukedom
opens extremely pleasant prospects. es-
peclaly if re can win the esteem of the
masteIful young ruler of Germany.
AS he VIII go to Berlin to complete his
educatlon. in order that he may come
fully into touch with the interests Of the
people over whom he will reign. he Will

about 24O, 900 miles away from it's ter
restrial mother.
But according to the new Darwinian
theory this is not the end Of the tragedy
Of creation. He holds that the moon is
still retreating from the earth and that
it will continue in it's course until i is
about one hundred thousand miles fur
Their away thar it now is. By this time
its period of revolution around the earth
will have heightened from twenty-eight
to fifty-five days, which means that the
months will then be fifty-five days long.
Gradually other changes will come
about, the rotations of the earth will be-
come slower, the tides of the ocean act
ing as a brake upon it just as the tides
Of the moon when it was just molten
brought 1T into a condition in which it
could only rotate once on it's axis in
travelling around the earth, and this
will go on, until, in the course of years
1.-The period of the earth's rotation has
been increased from twenty-four our
up to ffty-five days, or, in other words,
to the length that the month will then
have"
Even this, however, does not comprise
the end. When these millions of years
have passed and the time has come when
the months and days shall have become
of equal length the idest that the sun will
still raise upon the earth will continue
10 retaTu the odftn S TeNOlutlOnS until
at last it will actually be moving more
slowly thar the moon. Then, when the
days become longer than the months, the
tides raised by the moon will be throw,
out of line again, and this time in a re-
verse direction, so that gradually the
moon will turn about and begin it's re-
turn voyage towards the earth. The final
result, as Prof. Darwin predicts, is that
the moon must ultimately fall back into
the earth"
In speaking of this finale Serviss says:
IF there should be people dwelling
upon the earth at that time all the fear
full results that have sometimes been de-
scribed as a result of a collision of the
earth with a comet would be nothing in
comparison with the consequences of
the fall of the moon. With it's seventy
five quintillions of tons our satellite
would smite it's mother earth a mighty
blow that would shatter the mountains
and spill the oceans and bring back at a
stroke the age of fire and chaos
Such is the new scientific doctrine of
Prof. Darwin and while the general pub
lie may be inclined to treat it as I'M
worthy of credence astronomers the
world over nave received it with respect.
have examined it with the greatest of
care ana have pronounced it the most
perfect theory the world has ever known.
According to their testimony it is perfect
in every mathematical principle and en-
tlrely probable in every conclusion.
Moreover as Prof. Darwin is not a wild
dreamer, prone to lose his way in all
kinds of imaginative speculation. but. in
stead, holds an important chair in the
great English University of Cambridge
his theories, however wild they may
seem, are worthy of the most sober con-
sideration.

DarWin's New Theory
Of the Earth and Moon
THIS PICTURE SHOWS DARwINs THEORY OF THE BIRTH OF THE
MOON.

The theory of evolution as applied to
man has been so generally promulgated
for so long a time that it is now regarded
almost as an established fact and the
presentation of such a doctrine of sci
ence no longer occasions surprise.
When Darwin published his theory to
the world, however, there were few who
were willing to accept it and the same
sentiment of a~ntagonism will probably be
felt towards the newest Darwinian theory
which has to deal solely with bodies
celestial. While it was Charles OAR
win who evolved the theory that aston
shed the scientific world upon the pub
LEGATION of his Origin of Species" 1t is
his son, Prof. Charles Darwin. who has
announced that the moon is not only the
~attendant but the actual child of the
earth, born during the period of fearful
connections that existed when the globe
was in a molten and partly nebulous
condition..
The book in which Prof. Darwin pre-
sents the evidence in proof of his hypo-
thesis is called The Tides but it might
we'll bear the more suggestive title, "The
Origin of Celestial Species for it is one
of the most mastery examples of mathe-
NAUTICAL analysis that has yet been given
to the subject of the earth and it's attend
ant bodies. To men of science and es-
pecially to those versed in Astronomical
matters the contents of the work are
new but to the general public it will come
as a revelation, dealing as it does with
things that are at once the %grandest and
most mysterious within human knowl-
edge.
Prof. Darwin's hypothesis, to quote
from 1.-The Tides" published by Mcmillan
& Co, is as follows:
Let us imagine ourselves transported
to the indefinite future when the moons
orbital period and the earth's diurnal
period shall both be prolonged to fifty
five of our present days.
THE lunar tide in the earth will then
be u~nchanging, just as the earth tide in
the moon is now fixed, but the earth will
be rotating with reference to the sun, and
if there are still oceans on the earth, her
rotation will be subject to ~retardation
in consequence of the solar tidal friction.
The day will then become longer than
the month, whilst the moon will at first
continue to revolve round the earth in
ffty-five lays. Lunar tides will now
be again generated but as the motion of
the earth will be very slow relatively to
the moon, the oscillations will also be
very slow and subject to little friction.

with the kaiser, and those who know the
boy believe hat he would have less
troulIa as the ruler of SaXe-CObur% than
would his father, the latter not beng on
particullrly good terms with has capri
cioue n phew. 1t is quite possible that
this may have been one reason why the
duke hrsttdted TO accept the succession.
To b. an independent English prince Of
the blood royal is n thing. To be the
ruler ~ n petty German dukedom, al
WAYS under the thumb of the emperor,
is quita another.
To the ordinary citizen the refusal of
even such a lulership as that of Sake
Cohurg seems an act of folly. 1t is quite
probaNle that not one man in a million
would refuse the honor if it were offered
him. ana yet there have been many men
since the time of Cromwll, who refused
his crown more through fear of others
than from any other motive, who have
declined even greater honors than that
which has been rendered the Duke OF
C~onnaught.
Thirty-five years ago Gladstone might
have been made king of Greece, but he
declined TO entertain the proposition. The
rulership Of Greece vas actually rendered
the late Lord Derby, but he refused the

Serviss has shown, the earth then re-
sembled an enormous pin-wheel spinning
in the night of space. The smaller n
Of the pear-shaped mass formed a gigan-
tic tidal of liquid fire, rising thous-
ands of miles from the center of gravity
and rushing round with such fearful We
locity that small masses were hurled off.
The crisis at this juncture was I'M
doubtedly produced by the attraction of
the sun. AS the mass that was then the
earth slowly cooled and stiffened the
portion that a formed the neck of the
pear grew more and more lender Until
1T gave way under the increasing strain
and broke away from the parent mass.
The substance that was thus broken off
represented about one-eightieth part of
the entire mass of earth-sphere and,
freed from restraint, began to spin on an
axis of it's own.
If the theory advanced by Prof. OAR
win is. correct an interesting question
is opened for discussion. When the
meek of the pear was broken and went
spinning way by itself it must have
taken with it it's relative portion of the
chemical elements that as vital germs
finally became human beings on the
earth. Whether these ceased to exist
after the fiery birth of the moon or final
ly succeeded in fulfilling their destiny
is a problem that science will do well to
fathom.
For a long period both the earth and
the moon continued in a sem~i-nebulOus
condition but they were so close to one
another that the mutual attraction raised
tides in each mass, tides that We're great

the sun, SO that both the earth and the

AS the tidal wave, however, was not
directly under the moor but always a lit
tie out of line in the direction in which
the earth was rotating it had a tendency
to increase the speed of the moons rOta-
ton round the earth. Astronomy teaches
that if you hasten the revolutions of a
body around the center of attraction that
body will Immediately move further

moon. 1t began to ravel away from the

LOST RAT.

Chicago Journal: 1t was a Turkish bath
cooling room.
The regular Saturday afternoon rush
of feminine patrons was at its height and
every couch was occupied With a woman
CARRIED squaylike in a more or less gaudy
blanket. Some were doing, some read
ing novels and slipping coffee, others were
patting yaWnS or staring s~phlnXlike at
nothing, enjoying the calm repose of the
after-effects of being alternately boiled
and iced.
From an adjoining dressing-room came
a voice to break the stillness-a feminine
voice somewhat agitated and shrill, and
so carrying to every part of the big cool
ing-room. 1t addressed itself to Mary,
the rubber.
Mary it said, Il can't find my rat.
It's got out of this room some way. Have
you seen it?"
The shrek that rent the air was a bat
tle-cry. The occupants of the room arose
as one woman and ~scampered, if such
Waddling haste as tightly swaddled limbs
could make might be called haste.
The woman in the dressing room looked
out from her Enclosure around the door at
the wildly retreating sisterhood fighting
at the exit to the shampoo room.

called, agitatedly clutching for her gar
ments.

over her shoulder.

BESANT on KEELING.

Walter Besant writes as follows in
The Queen regarding Kipling's new
poem The White Mans Burden:
The lines will awaken that great peo-
pie TO undertake the task for which
they have been prepared by 100 years
of seclusion and interrupted prosper
ity. They will inspire new thoughts
and new aims. We need all TO be re-
minded from time to time that there is
something better than material wealth
for a nation. The war has reminded
the Americans of this better thing-a
war undertaken in the name of liberty
and justice. l believe that these lines
will be received in the spirit in which
they are written, and that this thrice
happy writer Will be found to have ef-
fected by this one single short poem
such a change in the mind of a whole
people as it would have taken perhaps
a century of the slower teaching by
pulpit and by press. This it is which

This was Massachusetts, reply TO the

The Senator was scholar, an ora
tor, and an impracticable statesman
in many ways. And he was vastly
conceited, so that common people
were afraid to approach him. On one
occasion Mrs. Howe invited him to

Summers remark discloses the rea-
son for the rapid disappearance of his
name from the list of great American
statesmen. He had no sympathy with
the common thought. He always
seemed to be above them, and in the
Senate spoke as if he was a god in
the mountains, speaking through a
cloud. Even when he seemed to be
sympathetic and consented to walk
with the people, he managed to walk
upon pair of stills, and kept his
head above the procession.
Senator Sumner was the bitterest
opponent of the first serious effort
made by the Government to secure
territory beyond the continent. He
resisted and defeated Gen. Grants at
tempt to secure an American foothold
on the Island of San Domingo. The
arguments he used then were the
same as those which are used now to
prevent expansion. 1t is clear enough
to us, in these days, that the expert
ence gained by few years of rule in
San Domingo would have suggested
the best lines for the government of
Porto Rico and the other new black
dependencies. Senator sumner, more
than any man, prevented the nation
from obtaining a wise education in the
matter of colonies.
