discussion of the case those people
who took the article to heart are
referred to an article which appears
in the September number OF the
Cosmopolitan by John Brisbin
Walker and which has contained
therein considerable condemnation
of the attitude OF the missionaries.
Crimes of the greatest magnitude
are committed in the name Of
Christianity and one of them to our
way of thinking is the crammlng OF
the Christian religion down the
throats of the Chinese, at the end
Of a shot gun. With a religion
which was in force three thousand
years before the birth of Christ,
they assume that the religion OF
the Christian is a standing joke.
The story Of the flood is based
upon Chinese history and this is
being proven now by research and
study.

SILLY VOWS WELL KEPT.
Artist Whose Masterpiece Was Due ia

Artist Whose MASTERPIECES Was Due ia
Oath He Took.
The French artist, Gericsuld, was
determined to allow no distraction to
interfere with the painting of his great
picture, THE Wreck of the Medusa ;.
He had his head shaved and vowed
that he would never allow his hair to
grow until his work was done. This
vow he religiously kept, in spite of
strong temptation to break it, and the
reward of his heroism was the most
perfect painting of his life. A story is
told of a young man in E gland, a
great chess enthusiast, who was So
annoyed at his failure to solve an ap-
parently simple problem that he vowed
he would neither sleep nor eat until
the solution was found. He shut him
self up in a disused room and was
found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of his mind.
He spent year in the lunatic asylum
as the result of his rash vow; and the
problem remains unsolved. 1t was for
very curious reason that an
old lady, who died few years ago,
condemned herself to more than
thirty years confinement to her house.
She had married a widower, as miserly
as he was unromantic, and he insisted
that his second wife should wear the
clothes left behind her by his first
wife. The wife was as mutinous as
the husband was resolute, and she de-
termined that until she could have her
own clothes she would never leave the
house-a VOW she kept until her death.
Woman appears to be at the root OF
many eccentric VOWS, for it was a ha-
tired Of the sex that once impelled a
Well-known lawyer to swear that he
would never speak to a woman again
as long as he lived. Nothing would
induce him to see lady client, and he
would never conduct case in which a
woman appeared IS witness. He
never employed female servant, and
deliberately cut all his lady acquain
tanees. The inevitable result was that
the men deserted him, his practice
dwindled and he died, less than year
ago, alone in squalid room.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

AMERICAN LOOKING GLASSES.
This Country Now Imports but Few
Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing


Most of the french" mirrors bought
in the United States today are made
here. Very little looking glass is i'm.
ported now compared to decade ago.
The tables are gradually turning. The
European nations do not see them
selves in American mirrors, but the
Central and South Americans are very
partial to the America looking glasses,
and this country is doing large ex-
port business to that quarter. Penn
sylvania and Indiana furnish most of
the glass which is turned into Ameri-
can mirrors at present, but plate glass
factories that can turn out a quality
of glass suitable for the use of mirror
manufacturers are springing UP very
rapidly in several of the eastern
states. The American glassmakers
have finally succeeded in turning out
superior quality of clear white glass
which makes as fine mirrors as can be
bought in any part of the world. The
leading looking glass makers have
found this out and they import very
little glass for their use. Not more
than one-tenth of the mirrors made in
this country last year were made of
imported glass, whereas few years
ago nearly all the American mirror
makers were compelled to go abroad
for their glass. In the matter OF
frames, the American mirrors are
now put up quite as richly as any of
the foreign creations. The multiple
mirror, in which one can see ones
image from all sides and angles, is
strictly an American creation, and
has proved a big success with mer-
chants. especially clothiers and ladies'
tfurnishers. AS for size, larger mirrors
are made in this country today than
were ever attempted in Europe.-New
York Times.

CLOCK STARS.
Used In Place of the Sun to Fix the
Time of Day.


Probably the majority of people sup
pose that the observatories obtain the
correct time from the SUM- When the
average man wishes to give his watch
the highest praise he says, 1T regu-
lates the sum- not being aware that
watch which would keep with the
sun around the year would have to be
nearly as bad as Captain Cuttle's The
farmer may safely decide when to go
to dinner by the sun, but If the mariner
was as confident that the sun marked
always the correct time as the farmer
Is he would be sure to be at times
200 or 300 miles from where he thought
he was. In other words, the sun
that is, a sundial-is only correct on
few days in each year, and during the
intervening times gets as far as
whole quarter hour fast or slow, ac-
eording to Appleton's Popular Science
Monthly. There are several hundred
stars whose positions have been estab-
Ished with the greatest accuracy by
the most careful observations at a
number OF the principal observatories
of the world. IL stars exact posi-
tion is known, it can readily be cal
culated when 1t will pass the meridian
of any given place-that is, the in
slant it will cross north and south
line through the place. The data re-
garding these stars are all published
in the nautical almanacs, which are
got out by several different observa-
tions for the use of navigators and
all others who have uses for them.
These stars are known as CLOCK

How the System of signaling Now In

How the System of signaling Now In
Use In South Africa Is Operated.
Heliographing is "sun writing Ny
the use of the heliograph the suns
rays are flashed over long distances.
The letters of the Morse Geographic
code are used, and communication is
comparatively easy on bright days.
The instrument that is now used to
transmit heliograph messages Is ex-
ceedingly simple. 1t consists OF
tripod carrying a horizontal rod at the
top. On this rod is a mirror on one
end and ON the other small upright
rod with a movable button. This MIR
ror Is usually four and half inches
in diameter, and is SO arranged that
1t can be rotated both on horizontal
and on vertical axis. In the middle
is a small unsilvered spot The MIR
ror is sighted by means of this uns1i-
yered spot and the button on the rod
u in front, exactly as rifle would be
aimed. If the button is raised SO as
to cover the destination OF the mes
sage which can be found by compass
if it cannot be seen, and the shadow
thrown by the unsilvered spot in the
middle of the reflection covers the but
ton, the instrument is in position.
There is a contrivance by which the
shutter is operated opening and clos
ting over the mirror by means of key,
(which IS pressed like the key OF
telegraph instrument. A long flash
stands for dash, short one for
dot in the Morse system. The greatest
sdistance ever overcome by the hello-
graph was that operated over by the
UNITED States signal corps between
Mount Uncompahgre, in Colorado, and
Mount Ellen, in Utah. This was lSs
miles. The flashes came and went as
regularly as though the distance had
been much Observation-Disclosures

MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN MINES.
Long Abandoned Shafts That Have In
terested Many Antiauarians.

Besides the reefs which have been
Rhedesia an enormous quantity of
"ola workings mines which were
worried in ancient times, but have long
since been abandoned. By whom these
mines were worked will probably
remain forever a mystery. From
old pottery and tools which have
been found it is evident that
these old workings were exca-
waited by or under the direction of
men of knowledge and intelligence SUE
perior to those possessed by the present
inhabitants of the country. Gold was
extracted from these mines by smelt-
ing, many furnaces having been found
and alongside Of them ancient molds in
which ingots were cast. Several ruins
have also been discovered in Rhodesia
the magnitude and workmanship of
which prove that men of superior
civilization either inhabitated or else
occupied this part of the world a few
probably due the ancient workings
which have been found With the
primitive instruments at their COM
mand these miners of a past age were
only able to serape the surface of the
gold-bearing reefs. SO that the guam
tity Of gold which has been taken from
the mines hardly affects their value
while they are a precious indication to
the prospector and enable him to test
the reef below the surface, and, as a
rule, the site of most of these old work
iIgs seems to have been selected by
competent men, who chose the richest
reefs.

A Remarkable Discovery.

A remarkable discovery has beer
made by DR.. Peters, who has recently
been excavating at Nippur, an ancient
city of Babylonia. While the workmeI
were clearing away the debris from
the walls of the temple Bel they dis
covered in a hole which had been clos
ed up with sundried bricks a large
goose egg on a mat of reeds. Why
the egg was placed there is a mystery,
as it has no connection with any
known Babylonian custom. DR.. Pet
ers thinks that it may be looked upon
as a joke on the part of one or more
of the ancient workmen, the object
of which will probably never be known.
The temple was built at very re-
mote time, probably in the reign of
Akus-gal (B. C. 2200), or even earlier,
SO that the egg is over 1000 years old.
