RIDDLE OF THE UNIVERSE"
Review of Ernst HaeckeI's mma
of Modern Science.

This book by the very head and top OF all
science is a synopsis OF the latest con-
illusions of science. There has been little
or no progress in social life. and therefore
we are in danger of grave catastrophes in
the political world. while science has made
great progress.
The true character of disease has been
made clear. The unity of the forces of the
entire universe has been proved. The same
matter which enters into the composition of
all bodies on earth, including its living in
habitants. builds up the rest of the universe
TO the most distant stars: so says spectral
analysis.
Carbon is known to be the remarkable
substance that effects the endless variety
of changes that we call life: carbon is
known TO be the chemical basis OF life.
Emotion and revelation are considered

eral contributor to campaign funds. When
approached on this occasion, however,
would give mot a cent for Foraker, his

it is different. Hanna has probably no

The Knights of Labor have combined
with the American Anti Trust League and
employed a well-known Washing ton law
yer to prepare plan for helping the steel
strikers by starting legal proceedings

Ex-Attorney General Monet, of Ohio,
| has been instrumental in starting these
| organizations after the big trusts. In 4
| letter to an official of one of them he said:
you have the correct idea. Under the
Ohio Antitrust Act we can reach them
| in Ohio right now, both criminally and
civilly. We have the strongest act under
| which to attack them of any of the States
except Texas. We can fill the ials with
violators of our antitrust laws as rapidly
| as they can Jail workingmcn for CON
tempt The outcome of this movement
| will be watched with interest, both by the
trusts, which are after everything, includ
ing the freedom of the individual, and the
antitrust men, who believe that it is
necessary to break the power of the trusts
in some way before they become too
strong to be broken by any other means
than brute force. The antitrust men are
also after Attorney General Knox to
know why he doesn't proceed against the
steel trust for having violated the Sherman
making Knox do anything, but they will
call public attention to his failure to do
what he might.
Outside of those interested in and re-
sponsible for the job, for job it is, even if
little one, it is doubtful whether single
member of the last Congress had any idea
that the item in the Agricultural bill,
carrying an appropriation of 100000 for
chronological investigation" was an en-
tering wedge for the payment of an OK
port fruit bounty by this government
The cat is now out of the bag, and, in
answer to letter from Secretary Wilson,
the Comptroller of the Treasury has de-
cided that the money can be used either
to guarantee a minimum return to fruit
shippers or to defray a whole or part of
the transportation charges-in other
words, it can be used to pay bounty to
the shippers of American fruit who are
fortunate enough to be in the good graccs
of Secretary Wilson. The government
bounty idea has never been popular one
in this country and the administration is
likely to hear considerable about this new
bounty during the next session of Con-
gress.
