Dowie has succeeded in estab-
fishing harmony between Zion. its
receivers and its creditors out of
court, by proposing to settle with
immediate creditors and arranging
with others on time basis to end
the receivership. Dowie's state
ment to the receivers declares the
value of Zion's estate to be
S14, 100000 above all liabilities.
Large orders for lace and candy
were shown. One candy order was
Tor seventy-five carloads from a
Cincinnati firm. A draft for $780,
600 from a wealthy well-wisher was
exhibited, and Dowie declared he
could draw for 100000 more on
Zion's friends in Wisconsin. On
this showing he offered to settle all
urgent claims in cash and to put
Zion on a cash basis in all future
dealings with the outside world
Dowie's presentation of figures and
his offers of settlement were salts

A SCIENTISTS BELIEF.
Hindu Investigator Maintains That
Metals Have Life as Well as AMI
mails and Vegetables.

"a remarkable discovery" A. Sarath
Kumar Ghosh asserts in Pearson's, in
his article on Life in Metals, "that has
recently been made will mark a new
era in the progress of science, for it
sweeps away many pet theory we
have hitherto fondly cherished. From
time immemorial scientists have vain
I ly asked: What is the quintessence Of
life? What is the fundamental differ
ence between that which is living and
that which is not? By what final test
shall we determine that certain OBJ
ject is animate and another mani
mate?
"a suggestion is now made, which,
to say the least of it, is astounding and
revolutionary. In book recently pub
hshed distinguished Hindu scien-
tist-Jagadis Chunder Bose, professor
of science in the Calcutta University
maintains that the true test of life
in an object is its capacity to respond
to external stimulus; in other words,
its irritability, it's sensitiveness And
according to this test he proves con
clusively that no essential difference
exicts between animals and metals in
fine, that bar of iron is as irritable
and sensitive as the human body! More
than that; he proves that a bar Of
metal can be killed-that is, deprived
of it's sensitiveness forever-just as
the human body can be killed. He
even shows how our present mistake
has arisen; we have called objects non
living that are merely dead-that is,
which once were sensitive but are SO
no longer"

PRINCESS MOONLIGHT.
Is Prettily Related I'm Ja-
panese Folklore.

Once upon a time, many centuries ago,
woodchopper, returning at dusk from
his long days labor, saw, as he passed
through the forest, a-soft shining light
on bamboo branch.
Surprised, he hastened toward it, and
found there a tiny baby girl, surrounded
by radiance like moonlight.
Now, this woodchopper and his wife
were often sad because they had no lit
tie one of their own, and the baby was
carried to their humble home, where
you may be sure she had the most loving
attention.
She grew rapidly, and the light that
the woodchopper had seen around her
when he found her in the forest grew
brighter, until at night the whole cot
tage was filled with it's glow.
1t even shone through the paper
screens that formed three of the opposite
walls of the cottage-for all this hap
pened in Japan, where the houses are
made of bamboo and paper screens.
People called the little girl by the
pretty name of Princess Moonlight, for,
as they saw the light about her increase,
they knew that she must be moon
child
The woodchopper and his wife felt
very sad They knew that it was not
often that moon child came to the
earth, and that when one did it was
obliged to go back to Mother Moon when
20 years old.
Years passed, and Princess Moonlight.
now lovely young woman, sat on the
veranda one dark night, shedding a soft
light all about her.
1t happened that that very night the
emperor and his courtiers were return
ing from a days sport in the forest
Afar off they saw what seemed like
moonlight, and, filled with wonder, they
went to see what it could be, for the
moon would not be up for several hours
When the emperor beheld the beauti.
full maiden in the midst of the light he
fell in love with her at once, and begged
her to be his wife: But, alas! though the
princess loved him dearly, she knew thai
she never could be his queen, and that IN
three days she must leave the eartt
forever.
! The emperor was filled with grief wher
she explained to him that she was
moon child, and he sent his courtier
home; but he stayed with the princess
dreading to leave her for even singh
hour, knowing how soon he must par
from her forever.
I The last night came all too quickly
and Mother Moon sent down her moon
beams that were to carry the princes
away. The emperor clasped his ARM
about her and, though he held her firm
ly, the moonbeams drew her away from
him. Up, she fioated, her tears fallin,
back to earth all the way, until she wal
folded close to the heart of Mother Moon
But from every tear that fell back t.
earth wings sprang, and the shinin,
tears flew here and there, looking fo'
the emperor, and still are they search
ing for him, though he died, an old man
long ago. And people call those tear
firefiieS,
