Free Thought ImpossibIe.

Montreal. Feb. 5.-The resignation of
Prof E. J. Steen from the chair OF &C.
clesiastic history and apologetics In the
diocesan theological college (Church of
England1 which is affiliated with Nc
Gill university, has given rise to much
discussion. Prof. Steen has cleared the
matter up by frankly declaring that
freedom Of thought in theological mat
ters was not possible, and SO he pre-
ferred to resign. He will return to New
York, where he has friends, he being a
native American. Frankly speaking .
he said: Il find the theological air OF
Canada rather hard to breath. In Eng
land and in the United States discussion
in the most important religious topics
OF the day is courted and tolerated.
There is no such tolerance in this coun-
try. One has to move In the orthodox
conservative rut, and any deviation
therefrom is not tolerated.

HEALY,S VISION.
Sees q Railroad From New York to
ST. Petersburg.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-A special to the
Record from Seattle says:
Il, no longer a young man, believe 4
will live to see a continuous line of rail-
way from New York to St. Petersburg
and other European capitals" said Cap
tain John J. Healy, the noted Alaskan
pioneer, today.
such a highway in the nature Of
things is only possible by way of Bering
straits and work on one Of the prin-
cipaI connecting links will be comm nced
within twelve months. I refer to the
building of a railroad from Port Valdez
on the sea to the American Yukon The
great enterprise will be undoubtedly in
augurated within a year.
Continuing Captain Healy said: This
Copper river steel highway is sure to
be built After crossing the mountain
range the railroad viii follow the Ia
mana to its mouth in the Yukon From
this point nothing seems more certain
than that it will be projected to Nome
up through that district and across
Bering strait into Siberia Such a pro-
1ect would of course involve an interna-
tiona1 company and international CO.
operation, and those results will be
forthcoming. It requires great
stretch of engineering imagination to
conceive the idea Of a. railroad across
Bering strait. It is but 20 miles on the
American side to Dromede island, and
less than that to the Siberian shore

ATWATER AT m AGAIN.
The Professor Will Soon Announce
Important Discoveries.

Middletown, Conn, Feb. 5.-Prof. W.
0. Atwater has just completed an i'm
portant experiment in the respiration
ca1orimeter at Wesleyan college to de-
termine the relation Of food to muscular
energy. The subject was one OF the col
lege athletes. who was in the expert
mental chamber for nine days and ten
nights.
Professor Atwater, who conducts the
experiments for the government in con-
nection with work at Wesleyan, has not
completed his analysis and calculations
of his latest experiment, and will not
for several weeks. He authorized the
following general statement Of the re-
suit obtained, withholding the name Of
the student who submitted to the test:
HE was in the respiration chamber
nine days and ten nights after a prelin1i-
nary test During the eight days he
was engaged in active exercises, riding
a bicycle which was attached to a dyna-
mo for measuring the amount of mus
cular work performed. One object Of the
experiment was to find the relation be-
tween muscular activity and the con-
sumption of food and body material and
the Transformation Of energy in the
body.
fciency of fats and OF carbo-hy drates for
supplying the needs OF the body in time Of
hard muscular work To this end the
quantities of carbohydrates. sugar and
starch, which in the last four days were
replaced by fats in the form of fat meat,
butter and the like. The experiment was
very. successful and promises results Of
required for completing the analysis snd
calcula tiOns.''
In addition to the experiments at ves-
1eyan, similar ones are being carried on
at other colleges. The results of studies
Of the diet of the Harvard crew at New
London last summer are about ready for
publication. Prof Atwater has long con-
Quoted scientific experiments the re-
lation of food to muscular energy. He
aroused a storm of criticism about a year
ago, when he announced that two and
one-half ounces Of alcohol could be con-
suned daily without injury to the sys-

KING EDWARDS POLICY.
The Colonies Will Be Pleased With
Plans of Englsnd's King.

New York. Feb. ga dispatch to Tri-
bune from London says:

world OF the empire. His declaration
that it will be his constant enoeavor 10

meet with hearty approval. The king
knows the colonies better than any SOW
erign who has preceded him on the Eng

atty.
King Edwards messages to the Brit
ish nation and to the princes and people
of India breath the same spirit and fol-
low the same lines as his message to
the people OF Great Britain in recalling
the fact that Queen Victoria was the
first British sovereign to take upon her
self direct administration OF India af-
fairs and that the king as Prince Of
Wales visited the country many years
ago.
Preparations are being made for the
opening of parliament by the king in
person on Thursday week. No decision
has yet been arrived at as to the cere-
monial to be observed on this occasion
but it is understood that the proceeding
will be conducted with all the ponsp and
circumstance of full state. It is becom
ing more and more evident every day
that the Boer invaders of Cape Colony
are unable to do any serious mischief
and apparently Hertsog has relinquish-
ed all attempts to interfere. with the
British line of communications. The
military authorities are somewhat arx-
ious as regards the movements OF De
Wet, who was last reported south of lie
Wetsdorp, and they dread the conss-
quences should that famous guerilla
leader cross the Orange river.
There is dissatisfaction among the
members of the military clubs in refer
ence to the British position in the
Transvaal and the rushing Of the pot az
NIodderfontein has caused some ain
noyance. The British capitalist is not
getting much return for his money in

CHlCAGO,s BIG sTRIKE.
Anniversary Of the Opening Day
Shows Trouble Not Settled.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-Today j. the ami
versary or the calling Of the big strike
in the Chicago building trades, and the
trouble is not settled. 1T has been one
of the most remarkable struggles in the
annals of labor. The great interests and
the large number Of men involved, and
the fact that nearly the entire building
operation Of SO large a city were kept
at a standstill for a year, show the mag
nitude Of the strike. The terrorizing Of
the city by riots and assaults for time
was another feature which has left s.
vivid impression
It is believed by contractors, archi-
tects and owners that, although final
settlement agreements have not been
reached with number of the trades, the
blight OF the past year will be raised at
the opening of the coming building sea-
son.
BY the strike 80, 600 men in the building
industry were kept out Of employment
and 1000 in the trades manufacturing
building material Most of these were
able to keep their families from suffer
ing by doing odd jobs at anything which
offered It is estimated that $50, 000, 600
in contracts for buildings and in plans
in the architects Office were held up
for a year by the trouble.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient
Gore For Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but OF ctarrh cures, there has always
been a. great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve. but very few that
really cure.
The old practice Of snuf1ing salt water
through the nose would often relieve and
the washes, douches, powders and en-
ha1ers in common use are very little if
any, better than the old fashioned salt
water douche.
The use of Inhalers and the application
Of salves, washes and powders to the
nose and throat to cure catarrh is no
more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just
as much a blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism and it can not
be cured by local treatment any more
than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the blood and
system, and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan and the remarkable
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internally it drives
out catarrhal infection through action
upon the stomach, liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman, of st. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with catarrh which
is of value to millions of catarrh suf-
ferers everyW here. He SAYS. II neglect
ed a slight nasal catarrh until it gradu-
ally extended to my throat and bron-
chial tubes and finally even my stomach
and liver became erected, but as Il was
able to keep up and do "a days work il
let it run along until my hearing began
to fail me and then 4 realized that
must get rid OF catarrh or lose my posi-
ton as 7 was clerk and my hearing was
absolutely necessary.
Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler. another a. catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case. nor was
anything else until I heard of Stuart
Catarrh Tablets and bought package
at my drug store They benefited me
from the start and in less than four
months was completely cured of
catarrh although I had suffered nearly
All my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to use than other
catarrh remedies that I feel I can not
say enough in favor OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets"
A little book on cause and cure Of
catarrh win be mailed free by address
ing F. A Staurt Co, Marshall. Mich.
and the tablets are sold by all druggists
in the United States and Canada
