Is the Sun Inhahited2

An Indiana man has advanced the
theory that the sun is inhabited.
All the other scientists unite in pro-
nouncing him a chump and fool,
likewise Il lunatic.
Some say that it is ball of fire a
molten mass, kept at ferment heat by
the dropping into it every now and
then of some beIated planet
Still others say that around the sun
is shell. and that it is this shell that
imparts the heat.
One knows about as much about the
sun as the other.
We are perfectly incapable of tell
ing anything about the sun. If inhab-
tied it does not necessarily follow
that the inhabitants of the sun would
be anything like the nhabitants of
the earth, and the creatures that
tread the earth now are not anything
like the ones that inhabited it perhaps
hundreds of thousands of years ago
If the remains were udt fdppl WIN
would believe that this earth once
contained the monsters that are now
known to have existed.
We can tell nothing of the former
lHnd DlIdntS OF the SlODe except from
those remains. The crocodile of the
Nile is hardly even a fair representa-
ton of the giant lizard that existed
ages and ages ago, before man set
his foot on earth.
Having so little knowledge of ouI
own little planet, why quarrel about
the greater ones millions of miles
away?
The Indiana scientist has just as
much right to his opinion that the
sun is inhabited as have the other
scientists that it is not, and neither OF
them knows a single thing about the
matter which they are so vehemently
discussing.
1t is like discussing the end of the
world and what is to become of the
planet when it has served its mission
by set of men who do not even know
what becomes of man after the spirit
has left the body.
Each great discovery that is made
only emphasizes the extreme ignor
ance in which the people of the earth
dwell

DR.. Edward Everett Hale addressed
the Mother and Father club of Bos-
ton Il day or two ago. He startled his
audience somewhat by saying: "Tene-
ment houses, some seventeen stories
high packed with people and causing
all kinds of tenement-house laws to
he made, are as wicked as hell He
expressed the hope that in a hundred
years from now there would be no
great cities. What we want" said

verified from the miserable mechanic

Thames, says: "We have now reached
a position where American manufac-
tured goods can no longer find a mar
ket here. The erratic creature then
adds ''but this check on export trade
does not essentially affect the pros
perity of America" His reference is
to selling American wares in Euro
pean markets. In 1892 this country
exported $410,000.000 worth of Ameri-
can manufactured goods. Yerkes SAYS
America can no longer find market
in Europe for its products! That is,
this country will all of n sudden lose
sale in Europe for more than $780,
100000 worth of manufactured wareSi
1t must, however, be very crafty
ing to the Industries of this country
to learn from Mr.. Yerkes that this
check on export trade does not es-
sentially affect the prosperity of
America" Wild. visionary, erratic
and ignorant. the public is prepared
for the next utterance of this street
car man-"only one thing. as far as /
can see, could check it. and that is the
success of a democratic candidate
for the presidency" He says this
country has now reached a position
where American manufactured goods
can no longer find market i'm Eu-
rope. and yet that condition does not
affect the prosperity of America. and
nothing will affect that prosperity
except the election of a democratic
president! So thus early foreign CAPT
tai is getting in its threats.

After many years trial the state
of Vermont has abandoned prohibit
tion and voted for local option. This
is by no means because the apple crop
was extra heavy this year and the fine
quality of the cider got the apple peo-
pie a-going. 1t is because the very prac-
teal folks who exc out living on
the hillsides have found that prohibit
ton not only does not prohibit but
takes the regulation of a vice from
the hands of the people besides de-
priving the public eXchequer of a
very important source of revenue and
permitting a large and improvident
class to escape wholly without tax
alton. Under the license law the drunk
ard pays his part toward support
ing the police and almshouse depart
ments while under prohibition he gets
drunk just the same and pays no tax
es whatever.

Mary Deane had come in from her

John Herrick wanted her to marry
him. She loved him, but John had lit
tie or nothing on which to support 81
family, and Mary, who was level head

in becoming his wife. Martin Hughes,
an uncultured storekeeper. who had a
competency, also wanted her, and she

cept the continued evil of poverty and
work too hard for her delicate ply
sique or a husband she would rather
live without.

said the woman with whom she board
ed. Hes in the sittin' ROOM"
What could John have to say to her
that led him to call at that hour? A

their marriage would be folly. Never

him.

"Of the Gold Hill, originally named

John took from his pocket a yellow
folded paper and handed 1T to her. 1t
was her fathers will, leaving all his
property to her mother in trust for
her. Among the assets was claim
he had bought the day before the will
was made, which he designated as the
Mary Deane mine. For years it had
since been worked as the Gold Hill
mine and had produced and was pro-
ducing millions of gold.
John Herrick was the hunter who
discovered the landslide, and after dig
ging for several days he unearthed
many bodies, among them that of Rog-
er Deane, and a small safe containing
the valuables of the party, including
the will.
Mary through her attorney compro-
missed for a two-fifths interest in the
mine and married the man who found
the property under landslide.
