AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY

derfuI Transformation.
From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
df the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that of the
United States, a population Of 10000
600, soil and climate capable of in
finite variety of production, rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies of ivory, gold and dia-
monds, its development under the mod
ern methods which are now being ap-
piled to 1t is practically assured. The
home of the Oldest civilization, 1t Is
the last of the continents to yield to
the touch OF the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
of mystery without and ignorance
within. 1t is today illuminated by the
searchlight of modern methods, and as
its Importance and attractions are be-
Ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 2,000,-
600 Europeans scattered over its vast

with the steamer, the railroad, the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to its
darkest corner, Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowing. 1t was
only after the explorers-Livingsto
Spoke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered, through persistent and heroic
effects. that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa, and
then, in a twinkling, the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, vast European
'hinterland." Between 1884 and 1895

Of the United States. and containing a

Is it Our Bow?

Some time ago the body of a young
man was found in the River Mersey,
near Liverpool. In his vest pocket
was a piece of paper on which was
written-"Ask not my name. Let me
rot. 1t is drink which brought me
here" The coroner was so touched
with the tragedy that he published a
description of the unfortunate youth,
and his farewell message to the world
At the end of three days he received
three hundred letters from as many
parents all over the country, making
inquiries as to certain marks of identi-
fication that each might know if it
was, or was not, his boy who had come
to such an untimely end.

A Call to Repentance.

There is a tremendous call coming
today to the Church Of Jesus Christ
in all denominations to do her duty.
The church is not doing her duty.
The Church says, "The liquor traffic
never can be legalized without sin,"
and then it goes straight on helping
to legalize it. The Church is not liv-
ing up to it's light. I do not believe
that these glowing prophecies which
we hear on every hand of a great and
far-reaching revival of religion, which
God knows we need badly enough,
will come to the Christian Church I'M
til she does her duty in regard to
this monster crime of our time. If
we did not know better it would be
different, but Gods Word declares
that he that knoweth his Masters
will and doeth it not, shall be beaten
with many stripes" God has not one
law for sinners outside of the Church
and another for the Church. If the
Church wants a great outpouring of
divine grace that shall save the chill
dren and the youth of the land, she
must do her duty, and crush out the
liquor saloon, the mightiest foe of
God and man on the face of the earth.

Strenuous Religion Wanted.

DR.. S. Parkes Cadman. a prominent
Methodist minister, says that the rea
son why men do not go to church is
the femininity of the churches, and es-
pecially of much of the Protestant
hymnology. eve sing too much about
dying and going to heaven. Let's sing
about life and living. If you live right
you will die right. There is too much
tweedle-dum, tweedle-dee in our
hymns. Let us return to the great
hymns of our fathers by which men
were won to God and Christ"
There is a hopeful tendency of
thought in the churches in the direc-
ton indicated by DR.. Cadman as de-
sirable. Christian men are finding
out that our job, as yet, is where we
=are-in the world There is quite a bit
to be done before we get to heaven
and we would do well to get about it.
If we spend too much time consider
ing such questions as Where is
Heaven" the answer may be, "In
your eye"

The College Bows.

The Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa-
ton has three organizers in the field.
There are clubs in 40 colleges, some Of
them numbering as high as $50 members.
President Colvin has organized Montana
the fourteenth state organization, and is
now In Oregon. start has also been
made in Washington. Vice President Hin
shaw, who was nearly elected to the legis-
iature in Iowa last month, has stirred up
much interest in Illinois, and Is now In
Michigan. When the faculty of the North
ern Illinois Normal School opposed organi-
zation, the Prohibition students met out
side and organized. Organizer Hay, who
won first honors at the national contest,
has organized Missouri's eighteenth college
club.
Gustavus Adolphus College, at st. Peter,
Mimi, has over 80 members, and meets
weekly. Speaking teams have been organ
lied. The State University club Is doing
well: The Agricultural college club meets
weekly, and Is studying standard prohibit
tion works.

Drink and Longevity.

The President of the great Connec-
ticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. has
for years been investigating the rela-
ton of beer drinking to longevity;
whether beer drinkers are desirable
risks to life insurance company.
He declares, as the result of a series
of observations carried on among a
selected group of persons who were
habitual drinkers of beer, that al
though for two or three years there
was nothing remarkable, yet presently
death began to strike, and then NOR
tality became astounding and uniform
in it's manifestations There was no
mistaking it; the history was almost
invariable; robust, apparent health,
full muscles, fair outside, increasing
weight, forid faces; then a touch of
cold or a sniff of malaria, and instant
ly some acute disease, with almost in
variably typhoid symptoms, was in
violent action, and ten days or less
ended it.
1t was as if the system had been kept
fair on the outside, while within it was
eaten to shell, and at the first touch
of disease there was utter collapse,
every fiber was poisoned and weak.
And this in it's main features, varying
in degree, has been his observation in
beer drinking everywhere. It is pecu-
liarly deceptive at first; it is thorough
ly destructive at the last.

A petition. has been circulated
asking for the pardon of Paul Cor
coran, now serving seventeen
years sentence for completely in the
riots of 90. So far the Mirror has
said nothing regarding tins matter,
but few words at this time will
not be out of order. It will be
remembered. that Corcoran was tried
and found guilty. If the evidence
sustains that verdict then no good
citizen can desire to see him released
from that sentence. The petition.
does not allege that Corcoran is not
guilty, nor that he was not properly
convicted nor that there is any rea-
son whatever for his release. 1t
simply asks. that he be pardoned
Tt seems that the proper course, If
there Is any reason why he is not
gMlty, would DE TO carry the matter
into the courts and Let them decide
it. Not one quarter Of the people
who have signed this petition know
whether Ccrcoran is innocent or
guilty, and they care less. No one
wishes to sec an innocent man pun
ished; neither do good citizens de-
sire to help criminals escape just
punishment. Before Coreoran is
pardoned let it be shown that he is
not guilty as charged. It rs mat
ter in which the public sympathy
should have no weight: Governor
Hunt and his pardoning boerd are
expected to be governed by law and
evidence. All that the people de-
sire IN his matter is plain justice

Farmers May Cut Government Tim
Der.

The recent actions brought by the
United States against trespassers-o on
government land, for cutting timber,
has created a wrong impression. A
number Of farmers called at the
United States land office in this city
yesterday and, asked If farmers or
other bona fida settlers are allowed
to cut government timber, they
being under the impression they
could not do SO.
The officials informed them they
could cut timber for use IN any
manner on their ranches, but not an
amount to exceed $50 in stampage
value. This amount may be used
annually.
This gives the farmer an abund-
ance of timber for all purposes, ex-
eept possibly when fitting up new
place. In such case, if more is
needed, application must be made
to the secretary of the interior.
Such request is never denied where
the uses for which the timber is to
be put are legitimate and tends to-
ward making home of newly
settled piece Of land.-Statesman.

Gone of the best signs OF pro-
sperity that | have seen on the local
horizon for some time" said. a local
tinancier yesterday, is the fact that
the sheep men of Idaho arc selling
their wool outright at such figure
as they can get. If you will notice
you will see that there is no wool
hemg shipped on consignment this
wear. The fockmasters are selling
their wool for the price offered.
The result is that they know exact
ly what they are doing. They get
their money and know exactly how
much they have and they are pre-
parlng to do business with it. they
know, too, Just how far they can
go. They are not dealing with ex-
pectations of any kind. There will
be neither uncertainty. about their
abilities nor any overreaehlng of

that things will be down to solid

LIP FOR MEASURING YES
Why Steel Rails Break.


In 1895 a steel rail on the Great
Northern railway in England broke
into IL pieces, causing a serious acct
dent. A committee of the board OF
trade, appointed to Investigate the
cause of the breakage, has only recent
ly made its report, after four years of
work on the subject. The committee
a~scertained that the particular rail
which broke on the occasion described
possessed certain abnormal features
the precise origin of which remains
undetermined, but the investigation
led to several discoveries of scientific
and practical Importance. Among these
is the surprising effect of cracks in
the upper surfaces Of rails. 1t was
found by experiment that a rail nicked
with the chisel to a depth of a Saith of
an inch broke under a weight of 500
pounds falling from a height Of -
feet, while the same rail not nicked
resisted the fall of a ton weight from
a height of 20 feet.

llon Aquila. At first its spectrum re-
sembled the spectra Of other new stars
but in October a photograph showed
that the character of the light had
changed, and now it's spectrum was
that of a gaseous nebula. Last sum-
mer a telescope observation of this
curious object was made by Professor
Wendell at Cambridge, and he con-
frmed the evidence Of the photograph
showing that it had become a nebula.
Such occurrences are rare, and n ex-
PLANTATION of them is that they are the
result of collisions in space, the heat
developed being sufficient to turn solid
matter into gas and vapor.
