What Man Must Do Nowadays to Ne
oorne Famous
Everybody nowadays is an author
more or less. but there can be no
doubt that distinction in book writing
is more difficult to obtain at the pres
ent time, because OF the larger number
who pursue the professional it is
profession-and the same explanation
of the drop in the permillage can be
offered as in the case of actors. says
the Fortnightly Review But 1t is
also probable, l think, that the ma
tional ability is more devoted to the
practical life than it was in the COS.
Young men of promise adopt the pro-
fessional and public careers, rather
than that of authorship or journalism
But among the professions thus select
ed there can be no doubt Of the decline
in popularity of the clerical. indicated
by the drop in the figures OF our lists
from 100 to "A. Clergy do not loom so
large in the nations eye as they did
thirty years ago, and 1t Is difficult to
say whether the decline in quality and
quantity recently complained of is
either the effect or the cause. Law,

doubly as attractive as 1t was thirty
years age. Notwithstanding the pres

to themselves. AS might have been ex-
pected. the services have become more
popular. owing to the rising tide of
imperialism and militarism. Both on

England is not musical nation is
slowly being wiped out, If one can
Judge by the double quota OF musicians
in the latter list. On the other hand,
artists have somewhat declined in
number. and as the-latter list includes
sculptors and engravers in that ru-
brio, the falling off is marked. En-
craving, indeed. as profession and
as means of obtaining fame. has en-
tirely died out: the engraver nowadays
is a process maker.

San Antonio. Climate.

Coming from the home of biting east
winds and winter climate, the at
mosphere of San Antonio is a veritable
paradise. The city Is located In south
western Texas. is about GOO feet above
the sea level, and Is delightfully."- stu
ated. with a range of hills extending
completely around the town. The
weather is delicious-never too cold in
winter. and. during the summer. while
1t is hot enough in the day time. the
evenings are always cool. According
to signal service reports taken during
a series of years. the average number
of days in the year during any portion
of which the thermometer falls to the
freezing point is IA. 1t is rare thing
to have frost before November or later
than April.

1t seems quite likely that the Pres
byterian church. North, will be called
upon again to consider revision of
the Westminster confession of faith.
From various parts Of the country
come statements. made by Presbyter-
ian clergymen advocating revision or
a new creed. The venerable DR.. Theo-
dore L. Cuyler of New York, who has
been considered conservative, is one
of the latest to declare that there are
certain parts of the confession in
which he does not believe. Notable
among the overtures from presby-
teries asking for revision Is petit
tion from the presbytery of Nassau,
N. Y, praying the general assembly
to formulate a short and simple creed
which would unite and not divide"
and which would be acceptable to the
church"

(. Heavy feeders on animal food are
predisposed to all kinds of inf1amma-
tory disorders, and when any such
person finds himself getting out of
condition he may safely hedge in the
matter of flesh food. cutting down the
amount of sucn food or emitting it
altogether with perfect safety. A
strict vegetarian diet, even. cannot be
called an experiment. since we know
that millions of people thrive on It,,
and no one could ever starve on it.
With fruit. nuts. milk and eggs added,
no lack of variety need be felt. The
Japanese are healthy, handsome
race. They are plump and hearty, but
little beyond simple vegetarian diet is
the rule there. The rikisha men walk
and trot forty miles day with a
seated passenger and seem proof
against fatigue and they thrive on a
diet chiefly of rice.

While 1t would have been crafty
ing to many friends of Senator Quay,
to have him seated by the senate,
they have what satisfaction is to be
gained from the bare refusal of the
senate to seat him. The question in
volved in his case deserved an ex-
preston of the senate. and a more
decisive one would have been prefer
able. A difference of two votes is too
small to give emphasis such as ought
to be given in deciding one way or
another.

Invention.

By Means OF Russian EisotrIeian's
Invention.
DR.. Peter Stiens, a Russian electr-
clan, announces that he has applied
an electrical apparatus OF his invention
to several blind persons and has made
around them. At an interview with
a member of the stan of the Central
News. DR.. Stiens said: Il have been
working on this invention FOR some
years. and have every confidence now
that I shall soon bring It to such
state of utility that blind persons by
its aid will be able to see with their
brains Just as ordinary people see
through their normal eyes. In a word,
my invention acts In the place of the
eye." DR.. Stiens took me into small
room and blindfolded me- He did this
SO effectually that not a ray OF light
reached my vision; all was absolute
darkness. Then he lighted matches In
front OF my face. SO close were some OF
them that l could smell the burning
sulphur and feel the heat of the burn

He connected me with his apparatus.
The blindfolding substance was not
touched or altered In any way. But
In place OF the darkness there appeared
a white light before me-a light that
looked very muck like the ordinary
light of day. When Dr. Stiens held up
the object before me / could see and

Not the least alarming phase of the
situation in South Africa is the fact
that the black natives out-number the
whites in the proportion of twelve to
one. In the case of a prolonged con-
fiict between the Beers and the Eng
lish the attitude of the natives is al
together uncertain. In Cape Colony
there are 100000 white residents and
four times that number of blacks. The
white population of the Transvaal is
estimated at 10000, as compared with
$4,000 natives. In Natal the total
number of whites is not more than
$4,000, while the blacks number $780,
900. In the Orange Free States the
blacks outnumber the whites in the
proportion of nearly three to one. In
Rhodesia there are 100000 natives
and white population which rela-
lively amounts to nothing. In British
Central Africa S50,000 blacks are op-
posed to a tiny band of not more than
600 English soldiers. In fact, all
through South Africa the negro prob
lem is likely to grow in Importance
during the continuance of hostilities.
