ANSWERS
To questions appearing Dec. 16:
81. A name not infrequently, though
enormously, given to the Bible of the
Parsees, the descendants Of the ancient
Persians. 1t should be rather termed
the "Avesta-Zend" the latter word
meaning explanation or commentary. TIE
Avesta is written in the Pahlavi Ian
guage. Its authorship Is attributed TO
Zcroaster, the founder Of the religion of
the Parsees. The general opinion is that
the Avesta, as it at present stands, IS
a collection made about A. D. 220, of the
remains of the more ancient writing Of
the Parsee religion, though how far these
may be justly attributed to Zoroaster, II
is of course impossible to say. The
Avesta consists of five books: 1, the
Yosna; 2, the Vesperad; 3, the Yoshts;
4, the Minor Texts; 5, the Vendidad.
IS. Camp meetings We're first organ
lied in 1910, from an issue in the Church OF
Methodism, or the followers of John and
Charles Wesley. The advocates of these
open air meetings were formed about
this time into an organization called the
Primitive Metbodists, and were lead by
Hugh Bourne, an influential layman
and William Cloves, a powerful local
preacher of that period.
&C. Beelzebub (''The Prince of Devils'')
Matt. xii. 24). This name is derived
from Baalzebub, an idolatrous diety
among the EIrontes, signifying lord OF
flies, fly baal, fly god, whose office was
to protect his Worshipers from being
torn;ented by the gnats and flies with
which that region was infested. 1t is
sometimes written Beelzebue, which sig
mites probably the dung god. The Jews
seem to have applied this appellation
to Satan, as being the author of all the
1Dllutions and denominations of idol-wor-
ship.
a. The Cartesian doctrines we're IN
st1gated by Descartes, a celebrated
French philosopher; born 1896; died 1850
He endeavored to constitute philosophy
as demonstrable science founded upon
the principles of pure rationaTsm. He
pushed his skepticism so far that he came

a. to make such exact calculations as
to be certain that nothing essential has
been omitted. To prove the existence
of God was the first application of his
method. The soul whose nature consists
in thought is simple in it's essence, or
purely immaterial but intimately cons
nected with the body. The pineal gland
he supposed may be its seat. From the
immateriality of the soul he deducted
its immortality. The soul is free because
1t thinks itself SO and in this very free
dom consists its liability to error. lie
made a distinction between the passive
Impressions and active decisions of
the soul. He constituted three classes
OF Ideas, % adventurous, or those which
we naturally acquire; (2) those which
we create; 60 those which are born with
US, or innate. He accounts for the COM
munlon existing between soul and BODY
by his doctrine of assistance-the as
sistance or cooperation of diety. Not
Withstanding the many defects of these
doctrines and q want Of conclusiveness,
it awakened men to independent thought
and tmpelled them to investigate the
fundamental principles Of philosophy.
~ IS. The use of the sign of the cross
as a signature is used in courts and on
documents by persons not able to write
their names. 1t was formerly used by
kings and noblemen, and was required of
all persons in early times in addition to
their names, as an attcstatjon of good
faith, and it stood in place Of the name
when the person was unable to write his
name.

THE HUNDREDTH YEAR EPIDEMIC.
Scientists have noted that in the move

or black death. as it is known formerly
made their appearance in epidemic form
at tolerably regular intervals For a
long time this periodicity could not be
explained, but it is now known that the
outbreaks of plague and cholera in the
East are conteIaporaneous with the
great movements of population incident
to the grand pilgrimages made by Mo-
hammedans and FFindus at certain stat
ed intervals 10 the shrines in Arabia
and India The regular return of pest.
lence is, therefore no longer a mystery.
and possibly some theorist OF the future
may be able to explain the periodicity of
war.
When nations, like men, are always
quarreling, and each has large con-
stantly increasing stock of old grudges
to select from when justification for war
is required, there seems no special reason
why war should not break out at any
time; so, in fact, 1t does, for there is
probably not year and perhaps not
month in the year in which two nations
somewhere on the globe are not settling
a dispute by force of arms. While these
little wars, however, are constantly going
on, there seem to be regular periods at
which all creation reaches the fighting
