 Tradition has it that a beautiful wo- man. discarded mistress of the finan- cier, secured terrible revenge by start ing the rumors which finally pricked the imitation bubble.
 About the same time another specula- tion buble was bringing disaster to the people across the channel It was the collapes of the famous South Sea bub- ole, and when it burst the ruin was wide spread. The speculatives mania began to get headway in England in 1710, and was the direct result of the wonderful ex- pansion in English trade and commsgce Any scheme no matter how chimeri- cal found supporters, and thet South Sea company was one of the, widest and largest. Since the days of Eliza beth, Spanish America held out a strange fascination for Englishmen as a source of unlimited wealth. The South Sea company took advantages of this weakness. As the price of the mono- poly of the Spanish American trade. the company agreed to pay off the not ional debt. The Harley Ministry made the bargain in spite of Walpole's warn ing. Then the coutry went stock mad. 1t was almost the French case over aeain. Everybody bought stocks, and when the cpash came 1t brought univer- sal bankruptcy and crisis which drove the Ministry from office. The crash brought Stanhope to his grave. and many of his colleagues were found to. have received big bribes from the company. Croggs. the Secretary of State, died of terror at the investigat- ion and Aislabie the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was sent to the tower. Thousands of families were ruined, and estates of directors of the company to the value of 92,0O0QO0 were seized during the boom the price of the stock was. by the artffices of the directors, raised from fIOO to f1 0f0

viding the age of Noah by three and one-half we find that he matured in about 27O years. The average man of today at maturity measures about five feet and weighs 125 pounds. Five tee5 in twenty years is equivalent to three inches in one year. Applying the same rule to Noahs maturing years, We find that at his maturity he was sixty seevn feet tall and weighed 1875 pounds. 1t stands to reason that if Noah was so great in body, Adam must have been equally as large. The mere fact that Adam was never born evi- dences that he was a gigantic man. Everything created during the forma- ton ages was according to very large standard. The trees were skyscrapers, the animals immense and all other things in proportion. Why should Adam have been a freak in this array of colossal nature?
 "CiviIization and multiplication of the races diminish the lives of indt- viduals as well as the statures Why! Possibly because our civilization IS an unnatural perversion of the life con tempted by our Creator for us, ana as free agents we ane gradually de- stroying the race as penalty Tor oun wrong interpretation of our mission. The power to multiply having been given us, death is natural corse- ouence, but death by natural decay ln- stead of death by disease, crime, war; pestilence, results of civilization, Tas contemplated. Hence our civilization and all other civilizations are more or less responsible for the inevitable ex- tinction of the race.
 "A curious mathematical coincidence lay in the above proof of mans decline in stature and age. Thus the stature of man in a few more than 5000 years. according to Hale's chronology being the age of the human race, and accord ing to my deductions. has decreased from 65 to feet, at which rate ot de- crease the world will be depopulated in 46l years. or the year 2362. The age of man has likewise decreased from 300 to 70 years in the same time, at which rate the race will become extinct in about 461 years, or the year 2362. As you ob- serve both deductions reach the same conclusions.
 "There may be an element of truth in this theory, at least it Is worth probing. The great trouble with us to- day is that we are too easily satisfied we lack the ability and energy to figure out or search for evidences of truth and instead accept all kinds of theo- ries and dogmas as they are presented to us, surrounded mostly by a halo Of fanaticism, impossible and absurd"

It is doubtful if there Is a more &C., tive. energetic or progressive young business man in Montgomery than MT. Frank D. Kohn, junior partner of F. M.

HIS uIes ana IS Tn the thirty-f first year of age. He was born November 14, 1870, and. received his early education in private schools of Montgomery. As a young man, he attended for five years the famous Spring Hill College of the Jesuit Fa- thers. near Mobile, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1889.
 After the comple- tion of his educa- tion, MT. Kohn be- gan reading law in the office of Tomp- kins & Troy and after having been there two years, was ready to be ad- mitted to the bar. On account of the failure of the health of his father, the young man was in 1892 called to as- sume charge of the business of his pa- rent, and the suc- cessful business which had been conducted by MT. F. M. Kohn was merged into the firm of F. M. Kohn & Son.

OVER A PRECIPICE.
Terrible Accident to English Party
While Ascending the Matterhorn.

London, July IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Jermat, Switzerland,
describing the accident to the English
party who, with their guide, plunged
over a precipice last Wednesday while
ascending the MaJterhorn, says:
THE relief party from the Hotel
Mont Cervin, from whose veranda il
could be seen that something had gone
wrong with the party Of tourists, heard
a woman's voice from the bottom of
an ice gully crying out: We are not
all killed 1t was Miss TrOw, daughter
of a London clergyman, who with Miss
Bell, daughter Of Edmund Bell, the
publisher, and DR.. Black, of Brighton
and also Lennard Carroll, the guide.
had fallen from the heights above.
She was not much hurt.
Near her was Carroll, alive, but I'M
conscious. Five hundred feet further
down were the dead bodies of DR.
Black and Miss Bell
Miss Trow and Carroll first fell over
an ice ledge fifty feet high. They then
slid down a slope less steep, after
which, with terrific and ever-increas-
ing rapidity they shot down the ice "a
vine 1000 feet.
The cord broke connecting the
other two. who plunged over another
precipice."
