Dr. WTE-ht has spent his life in seek
ing u h"rUlunize science and the BIB
lical story of the creation. He is a
professor iii Onvrln Theological Sem
mary and professor of The Relations
of Religion and Science at Andov :.
For several years he was ar assist--t
on the United States Geological SGrv =
The present expedition is the great-Sc
undertaking of his life. All the ex-
penses will be borne by DR.. Wright
himself. When last heard from. the
Doctor was setting u for Lake Baik-
al which is 200 miles from the Siberian
railroad line. The journey to the lake,
$500 feet above the sea level. will be
made in Monaghan camel carts. DR..
Wright's only European companion
will be his son. They carry tools to
dig into the deposits of "Ioess."
Scientists say that an event so stu-
pendous as the deluge could not have
happened without leaving permanent
evidences behind. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the effects have been mod
flied, and even obscured, by subsequent
changes. 1t is not only difficult to dis
cover evidences of the deluge, but diff
fcult to separate records of the deluge
from the records of the earlier periods,
such as the glacial. or later records
left by subsequent foundations.
The Scripture states that the water
covered AL the high hills" and there
are evidences of this in four continents.
The water is said to have risen Is Gu
bits, or q feet, above the highest
mountain. Scientists are asking where
are the materials drifted up by the
deluge, the remains of the millions Of
men and animals that persisted by it.
During the 80 days that followed the
rise of the waters the matter lifted by
the flood settled, the heavier materials
first, then finer gravel, sand, and fin
ally mud fell like a mantle. But as the
waters receded into the ocean beds
much of this mud in the courses of the
currents was carried back into the
pecan. Biologists are perplexed over
the depths of the deposits.
It is quite likely that DR.. Wright
will find buried in thc "loess" the wea-
pons and tools used by men who lived
before the food, and for whose sins.
the Scripture says, the world was
drowned.
An intimate friend of DR.. Wright is
the Few. Daniel s. Gregory. editor of
The Homiletic Review. Before start
ing on his expedition DR.. Wright con-
idsd to DR.. Gregory his plans.

a gentleman remarked this morning,
"Now that prosperity has won, let us
have prosperity in no qualified de-
gree" What have We had during the
past four years but prosperity, and
there is no reason why it should not
continue. Mckinley has been re-elect-
ed by an overwhelming plurality of
the popular vote, not wholly because
it rwas Mckinley, but because the
masses of the people approved of the
platform which was adopted by the
Republican party at Philadelphia.
But the party must not felicitate Itself
upon the idea that Republicans ato lie
won the victory, for the fact is taat
thousands of Democrats voted with
them. thus rendering a glorious vic
tory. In view of the results of theeIec-
ton the country wilt have the right to
expect continued allegiance to sound
money and enlarged reverence for the
old flag.

The second defeat of Bryan is gen.
orally conceded by'Democrats to mean
his permanent retirement from the
leadership of the party. Since the
result Of the election has become
definitely known, Democrats all over
the country are numerous who make
the assertion that Bryan himself is
the cause of the party's defeat. AL
though the effect of the Democratic
defeat has not yet cleared away. there
are many in the party who are not so
dazed but that they can look ahead.
They see a new leader in the form of
David B. Hill or Richard Olney.

Notwithstanding that Great Britain

"Herceforth there, will be no need
for the Democrats to nominate IA coun-
ty ticket. for the Dutch and the mig
gers will vote any ticket but the
Republican, So said a Democrat
the other day in the course of conver-
satien. This gentleman did not stop
to think that it was these same Dutch
and niggers who elected one of his
party by an overwhelming majority.
We held the winning card, as we gen.
orally do, and it does not better mat
tiers to make such slanderous remarks.
The Republicans nominated their tick

is not a man on it but what is justly

but what they will prove so again.

A Berlin paper publishes an inter-

''The construction and equipment of
their iron and steel works." he saws OF
US, far excel those of Germany and,
indeed, of every other European coun-
try. In America we find what seems
to us an astonishing substitution Of
machinery for manual labor. Onlyin
the most necessary details is hand la
Dor now employed. Such vast and
skillful application Of machinery Of
fers especial advantage in time like
this, when manual labor is costly and

Germany will "have to reckon with a
sharp and powerful competition from
America, especially in heavy plates,

the production of all Of these in the
