SOLOMON AND THE BRITISH
QUEEN.

A sensitive British essayist pre-
diets the speedy downfall Of the Brit
!sh Empire. and the Divine vengeance
upon the British Queen, because she
and her Government permit heather
ish rites and customs to prevail
throughout India The heather tenn
pies and idols are carefully protected.
The ancient temple of Buddha, at
Gaya, has just been rebuilt. The sa-
cred laws of Brahman, Buddhist, Par
see and Moslem are respected, and the
violation of any shrine of vishnu, or
Of any Hindu deity, is punished with
Imprisonment. This essayist, who is
an alarmist, asks the British public to
recall the wickedness of Solomon in
this respect, and he asks, with the fin
ger Of scorn pointed in their faces.
how long will the Almighty tolerate
this encouragement of idolatry?
/, On consulting the Biblical history
OF Solomon's rather loose dealings
with strange gods, 1t appears that this
venerable ancestor of Brigham Young
mixed up his matrimonial affairs with
his religion, just as many hundred
years later his distinguished relative
mixed them up In the Salt Lake Val
ley.
Now King Solomon loved many
foreign women beside the daughter OF
Pharaoh, --'Moabite, Ammonitc, Edom-
lite. Zedonian, and Eittites." And I'M
der the influences of these seven hun
dred wives, he built "a high place for
Chemosh, the abomination OF Moab"
and he went after Asntoreth. and Mil
com, and other notorious gods whose
names appeared In the Thrum's An
uual Of those days.
The parallel lines OF conduct In the
public administrations OF King Solo
mon and the British Queen have been
prompted by entirely differont mo-
lives, King solomon, for wise man
and an anoinled person Was unques'

ANDREE'S BALLOON

that Andree's balloon alighted sSsDe-

that his fate will soon be determines
There seems to be no doubt thai
about two months after he set out on
his aerial voyage ! balloon was seesa
by the inhabitants Of a village in 81
IBERIA. 1t was, OF course, impossible
that the original balloon could have
kept afoat for such length Of tin,e-
and the explanation given is that An
dree had constructed fire balloon a.
a signal, which seems to be borne out
by the fact that the object seen by ttne
villagers was visible only for about mr.
teen minutes. 1t is thought that thr
condensed provisions carried by THE
party, with what game they may have
taken, would be sufficient to KEGS
them alive until the present, If no ac-
cidents befell them.

bathrooms, bat they are coming into
general use IN private residences.
They are no, affected by conditions
which inIure the live plants and How
ers. The temperature does not hurt
them. nor do they require watering
In climates wncre the cold weather
quickly destroys delicate plants and
flowers. the cost OF decorating with
them Is large, and calls for experience
and skin. The majority Of people can
not afford to keep greenhouses, or 10
warm the rooms Of their houses so as
to keep an even temperature. The use
Of the real, but "perpctuated," article
enables even the poorest TO rival the
richest in decorations.
The business in these plants has al
ready become extensive in America
and will increase enormously. AL
though the method Of preparation is a
partial secret. It will not remain so
for any length of time. AS the pro-
cess is chemical one. there are
scores OF skilled and inventive chem
lists who will experiment in searching
for the correct process and some Of
them will discover It.
This method of preserving live
plants and flowers will work revo-
luton in the decorations of homes. II
will also create large demand for
tropical plants and flowers, and give
employment to many persons who own
small parcels of land. This discovery
is only another illustration Of the uses
of sound knowledge and of the value
OF scientific inquiry.

A FLOURISHING INDUSTRY ENDS.

During the period beginning in the
"thirties" and ending in the sixties, s.
the town of New Bedford, Mass, was
the most prosperous. place financially
in the United States, in proportion to
the number of its inhabitants. Its
cnterprising merchants and seamen
realized the value of the whale fisher
les, and equipped numerous ships that
chased the sperm whales in the Allan
tic and then doubled Cape Horn in
the pursuit of the right whales. The
towns of New London and Sag harbor
and the people of Nantucket were also
engaged in the business. ..'
As the fisheries declined in the
North Pacific the ships pushed into
the Boring Sea, and during the open
season, caught the big fish, and when
the Ice closed in they bore away for
these Islands, where they rchtted and
recruited until the season again open
ed. At the end Of a three years cruise
cach Nessel again doubled Cape Horn
for the home port, and every man and
boy from the captain down got his
share In the venture, because no wages
were paid.
These were the bonanza DAYS of
New Bedford, Whale oil was mainly
used for Illuminating purposes, and
the bone had some value In the arts.
As rule each vessel wac equipped
through the division of the venture
into shares, These shares returned
enormous profits, Every merchant,
every clerk, every professional man,
every carpenter and many Of the do
nestle servants owned shares In these
vessels, Whenever q shlppiug house

as a political force. Where monoga-

Of the situation. When the sew

cd on introducing and worshiping
their alien gods, he, like men of his
own times, and like men OF the pres
ent time, yielded to female importu-
nifty, and got left" 1t is said by
commentators that King Solomon
married scores OF princesses from 9TH
er nations and tribes, in order to Sc
cure peace and order. But any of the
tramps walking about the streets of
Jerusalem would have told him, II he
had asked for points, that his policy
was dangerous one.
The British nation, and the British
Queen, on the other hand. are pro-
Tossing Christians. All matrimonial
schemes like those of Solomon have
been avoided in the government of In
dia. No member of the Royal Family
has been required to marry an Indian
Princess, however helpful it would be
to the maintenance of British rule.
At the same time, many hundreds
of years after Solomon's unfortunate
experiments in going after other gods,
this Government, perhaps the most
enlightened upon the earth through its
vast experiences in all regions, Is pro-
tecting idolatry, and encouraging
heathenism. While the great Church
Missionary Society is supporting mis-
sionaries, who tell the millions of peo-
pie in India that their gods are worth
less, and their religions are utterly
wicked, the nation itself, in close part
nership and alliance with the Estab-
lished Church, Furnishes with impris-
onment any act of disrespect to these
brazen images.
The British nation is, probably,
quite right in the attitude 1t has TAX

and discourse with much learning on
the abstract principles Of right and

in giving any really adequate explana-

Fortunately in Hawaii nearly all of
