TUBERCULOSIS CAMPS.
How Consumrtives Get We'll, or Mt
Lcns. Proiong Life, by Dwelling
Out of Doors.

1t is truly an easy and enjoyable way
of getting well for any one who is lover
of nature, for, as has been stated, the
main principle carried out is to get in
touch with that which is out Of doors-to
be amid the trees, continually breathing
the air purified by natural processes, to
exercise and eat and sleep, If possible,
with the sky for canopy. The medical
man of the olden time would indeed be
shocked If he could visit one of these
! places, to see so-called invalids hard at
work in the forests making their camps,
lolling about IN hammocks In summer
with heads uncovered, and lying muflled
| in blankets and furs in the sunlight In
| the dead OF winter. with no shelter but
the blue sky above them. But these are
only some of the ways in which health
is sought. Patients who are able to
stand the exercise amuse themselves by
/ clearing away the snow from the veran-
das in the winter-even the women
handling the broom and shovel and en-
ioying It. Coasting on the hillsides is
another strange recreation for those
whom we call consumptiVes encouraged
at the Massachusetts institutions. Phys
ical culture Is one of the requisites for
those who are able TO attempt It, and
daily a dozen or a score Of patients are
put through the simple movements. un-
der the guidance OF perhaps one OF their
number or q member Of the medical
staff. The tent life is part of the rou-
tine of the women in summer as well as
of the men, and II is an actual fact that
In Massachusetts, some of the women
have erected their own camps for win
ter. decorating the walls with posters
and photographs, and converting them
into miniature club houses, where they
occupy themselves in conversation, read
ing, sewing and various games.
These camps are unique in many re-
spects. The buildings are composed Of
but three sides, that facing the south
being left open. They are simply sheds,
having a floor to prevent the dampness
from the ground affecting the inmates.
Some forest trees are used for posts, and
the walls made OF planks or boughs fas-
tened to them. If the temperature is
too low for comfort, it is moderated by
the use of a small stove, sometimes an
open fire. Draught Is furnished by dig
ging a tunnel through the earth beneath
the shed, terminating in a length Of clay

Spirits to Live in Planets.
New Theory Of Evolution by Professor
Moore, Of Columbia, Mo.

DR.. w. T. Moore, dean emeritus oil
the Missouri Bible College at Colum-
bus, Mo-, recently completed the
manuscript of a book which will cause
sensation among theologians and
scientists, says the ST. Louis Republic,
DIR. Moore is theistlc evolution
lst, though his new definition of evolu-
tion will be quite satisfactory even to
conservatives. He traces man in his
origin, history and destiny, and in the
concluding chapter of the book, enti-
tied Death and the Other Side, he at.
tempts to show the meaning OF the
numerous worlds which now roll in
space without inhabitants.
DR.. Moore's theory, in brief, is that
man will go on progressing through
the cycles of eternity and that when
he assumes his spiritual body at the
resurrection he then will be prepared
TO inhabit some ofthe planets or stars
which are now unlnhabited.
He concludes that the infnitude o
worlds become intelligible from his
point of view. He believes that the
spiritual man will be the inhabitant of
all these worlds and that, as emigra-
ton from this earth is the future
evolutionary process by which those
worlds are to be inhabited, the in
habitants of the whole universe will
be of the same family and constitute
a great spiritual brotherhood for all
the ages of the future.
DR.. Moore thinks that the numer-
Gus worlds now uninhabited are in
state of preparation for glorifed mar,
as the present earth was long time
in preparation for original man. DR..
Moore is a theologian and journalist
of reputation both IN America and
Europe, He was for many years a
resident of London, and is still editor
of leading religious magazine pub
llshed there. His wife is president OF
the Christian Female College OF
Columbia.

HARD TIMES IN HONDURAS.
Commercial Paralysis Expected to
Result When Panama Canal
Is Built.

British Honduras is sometimes called
the Ireland Of America. Blessed with a
soil Of unsurpassed fertility, a mild and
equable climate and a variety Of natural
productions but rarely found within so
restricted an area, the colony is yet af-
fiicted with hard times. Although one
of the most thinly populated of the hab-
table regions of the globe, the number
of its inhabitants is constantly decreas-
ing; the labor market is overstocked.
agricultural industries are declining.
trade and commerce languish and the
pinch of depression is felt by all classes.
according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The reason for this state of affairs Is
not hard to discover 1t is the same
curse that has crushed Ireland-ab-
sentee landlordism-in a little different
but not less fatal form. The area of the
colony is only 1896 square miles. Of
this $500 square miles, or one-third, is
owned by one London land company.
In all more than four-fifths Of the col
ony is the property of handful of
English proprietors who will not sell
nor lease nor permit settlement nor cul-
tivation. They derive sure, steady
and perpetual income by working the
mahogany, rosewood, cedar, logwood
and other natural products of the for
ests, and for this reason desire to keep
their domains forever a wilderness.
An effort has been made to compel
these absentee landlords to sell their
holdings at an appraised valuation.
However so overshadowing is their In
Auence that the laws passed for this
purpose have proved imperative. It
therefore seems probable that the coun-
try will long continue to be held in pawn
by few English proprietors who have
never even visited It's shores and that
its wealth will be sent abroad to enrich
the Golfers of the strangers instead of
remaining to stimulate trade and in
dustry at home.

KITE FLYING AT SEA.
An Effective way of Comparing Uigh
Level Temperatures I'm DIFF
fcrcnt Places.

Kites carrying self-registering ther-
mometers and other instruments have
been sent up to various heights over
land by means of balloons and kites,
and a good deal has thus been learned
about the condition Of the atmosphere
over continental areas. 1t is possible
that the rate Of cooling with ascent
may not be the same over the ocean.
Perhaps other differences may be dis
covered, too, when investigation has
gone far enough. At any rate, for a
year or two past this sort of expert
ment has been contemplated eagerly
by few enthusiasts, and little has
actually been accomplished.
In one respect there is a notable diff
ference between the two classes of
work On land the observer and his
windlass are stationary, and the kite
runs out as far as it can. At sea the
kite, or string of kites, is hauled by a
moving tug or steamship.

The reasons why certain plants are

The style of kite employed resembled
the Hargrave pattern of box kite in
general design. 1t was four-sided, and
composed of two cells, one ahead of
the other. The opening in front,
though, instead of having square cor
ners, was diamond shaped. Mr.. Dimes
calls it "rhombus kite" The two
diameters of the diamond were six feet
and three feet by six inches. while the
length of the kite was seven feet six
inches. Steel wire was used for kite
string. Operations were conducted
from the stern of a small tug, So feet
long and 141a feet wide.
She was stationed near Crinan, and,
except on Sundays, ascsnts were made

more than seven knots, and the wind
yelocity necessary to raise kite is

asions when it was a dead calm no
lite could be started. 1t happened,
however, that no day was calm
throughout, so that some time during

ontrolled by altering the speed and
direction of the boat to suit the wind
One of the fruits of last years work is
embodied in the following paragraph:
"A further result of the observations

desirable that the experiments

yer, that the summit of the noun

when the sky Is clear elsewhere, tends
show that the summit must be un-

Now 1t is to be utilized to discover what
the earth has hidden in It's depths in the
way of mineral wealth, enabling the
prospector to locate bed of mineral
without the necessity of uncovering 1t
with his pick and shovel. The outfit con-
sists of nest of dry batteries, two me-
tallic posts, an instrument for measur-
ing the resistance Of the current and a
coil of wire. To examine any piece Of
ground for mineral deposit the stake
which supports the batteries and meas
uring instrument is fixed In the earth,
the second stake Is connected to the ap-
paratus by the wire and driven In the
ground at some distance from the first.
When the circuit is closed the current
passes over the wire and returns through
the ground, necessarily traversing any
body of metal or mineral which may be
located In the interval. The prospector
can determine by his measures Of re-
sistauce of the earth to the current
whether or notthere Is any such deposit.

which Makes Easy the Discov-

When Benjamin Franklin made the
experiments which put us in touch with
electricity he could hardly have had an
idea of the many uses to which the Won
derful current would be applied by the
inventors. Probably the transmission
of power over long distances through a
strand Of copper wire and the sending Of
messages under the ocean without any
wire at all never entered his mind, but
we who have all this are still not salts
fed, and the search for new applications
Of the electric current is yet going on.
