A FUTURE ICE AGE.
Another Glacial Period, Declares
Sir Robert Ball.

Not another person could have Deen
crowded into the large lecture room of
Schermerhorn hall at Columbia uniyer-
sity the other afternoon. where Sir
Robert S. Ball, fellow of the Royal So
ciety of England, the famous Irish as
tronomer, spoke on THE Cause of the
Ice Age"
He wildly portrayed the results,
worse than flood or famine, which
must inevitably occur when the glacial
period sets in, says the New York
Journal. Sir Robert began by showing
stereopticon views of the present day
evidences of the 'ice age"
"Once," he said, ''the whole northern
hemisphere was covered with ice as
Greenland is today. This was during
the glacial period. When this age sets
in again, Greenland will be covered
with vegetation, the northern hemis-
phere with a frozen eXpanse. The
cause of this astronomical phenomenon
is not lack of the suns heat, but by the
mutual actions of the planets Jupiter
Venus and the earth during one pecul-
lar confguratiOn.
when this configuration Of the plan
cts occurs, it tends to change the
earth's orbit from circle to an ellipse'
and when the earth itself Is at point
of the orbit which connotes midwinter
you have an ice age, which is worse
than famine, flood and pestilence ana
which lasts for hundreds Of thousands
of years"
Laughingly the famous astronomer
warned his audience that such state
may occur again, as science has shown
that it has occurred before, although
thousands of years ago. In concluding
Sir Robert said that the few days he
had spent in America would be the
most cherished OF his life. The stu
dents gave him the college yell, to
which he bowed in recognition.

MORE Wales FOR JUDGES.

Speech in Opposition,

The United States senate has pass

ing one to increase the salaries OF

Mr.. Bailey of Texas delivered his
first speech in the senate in opposition
to this bill. He believed that the

There is owing to the Peruzzi family
of Italy a just debt which there is not
money enough in all the world to pay
1t is claim for Sl3, 100000 with inter
est since 1910, in which year the mon
ey was borrowed from their ancestor,
then great banker in Florence. The
debt is owed by the British govern
ment, and if the Peruzzis had their
legal rights they would be able to
attach the whole British Empire and
sell it out at auction sale. Every
British man-of-war aioat, every ounce
of gold in the Kings crown and every
coat to his back is legally mortgaged
to the Peruzzis. The Peruzzis com
pound the interest on the original
loan annually and forward a dur
ming letter to the reigning Brit
fish sovereign every ten years call
ing his or her attention to their
little bill and intimating that an early
settlement would be appreciated. The
debt now runs up mo twenty-slX
figures. The bill has been sent in reg
ularlv for the past five centuries, but
so far no English monarch has hap
pened to have the amount of money de-
handed about him and has told the
collector TO ''call next week" or words
to that effect. The Peruzzis hold the
kim responsible, as be is in law, and
so Edwa VII truly can be said to be
the most heavily in debt of any man
ia the world.
In the middle ages Florence was the
great banking center of the world, and
one of the Pnruzzis was a great bank
err there. King Edward III protested
great friendship for the head OF the
Peruzzi family, for Edward as hard

WHEREFORE7
Mary Baker C. Eddy

Our faithful laborers in the field of
Science have been told through the
alert editor-in-chief Of the Christian
Science Sentinel and Journal, that
''Mrs. Eddy advises, until the public
thought becomes better acquainted
with Christian Science, that Christian
Scientists decline to doctor infectious
or diseases"
The great Master said, For which
of these works do We stone me?" He
said this to satisfy himself whereof he
spake as Gods representative one
who never weakened in his own per-
sonal sense Of righteousness because
of another's wiekedness, or the minify-
ing of his own goodness. Charity is
quite as rare as wisdom, but when it
does appear it is known by its patience
and endurance.
When, under the protection of State
or United States laws, good citizens
are arrested for manslaughter because
one out of three of their patients, hay-
ing the same disease and in the same
family, dies while the others recover,
we naturally turn to Divine justice for
support, and wait ON God. Christian
Scientists should be influenced by their
own judgement in the taking of case
of maligant disease, they should con-
slider well as their ability to cope with
the case and not overlook the fact
that there are those lying in wait to
catch them in their sayings; neither
should they forget that, in their prac
tice, whether successful OF not, they
are not specially protected by law. The
above quotation stands for this: In
herit justice, constitutional individual
rights, self-preservation, and the Cos
pei injunction, Coast not your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them
under foot and turn again and rend
you.
And it stands side by side with
Christ's command, ''Whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other also" l abide by this
rule. and triumph by it. The sinner
may sheer at this beattitude, for the
fool hath said in his heart, No God. "
1t is known that the good young stud
ent, Nj. Lathrop, after he was prose-
cuted for practising Christian Science,
finished healing the cases of diphtheria
that he had on hand. Statistics show
that this Science cures a larger per
cent of maligant diseases than does
materia medica.
I call disease by its name, and have
cured it thus; so there is nothing new
on this score. My book Science and
Health names disease, and thousand
are healed by reading it's name and
learning thatso-called disease is a SEN
sation of mind, not matter Evil minds
signally blunder in Divine Metaphys-
les; hence / am always saying the I'M
expected to them. The evil mind
calls it ''skulking, when to me it is
wisdom to Overcome evil with good. !"

A DECREASE IN FIRE LOSSES

Big Reduction This Year From Losses
of 1901.
Statistics kept for the past eleven
months show decrease in amount Of
damage wrought by fires in the United
States and unless there are num-
Der Of large confagrations within the
next 30 days this decrease in fire dam
age will be more than fifteen million
dollars less than last year, or more
than twenty million dollars less than
in 1900, which was one of the heaviest
in amount of losses in a number OF
years. This decrease in fires is at
tributed to improved protection OF
property by various fre-fghting ap-
paratus and more careful attention to
property where there is danger of fire.
