science takes in all the facts. True
philosophy affirms that wherever there
is a thought there must be a thinker.
wherever there is a law there must be
a lawmaker, wherever there is a design
there must be a designer. Here is the
great defect of Herbert Spencer s
synthetic philosophy. It accepts the
law and builds upon it. without even
acknowledging the existence OF the
law1naker 1t deals with the divine
thought and shows how it runs through
everything without recognizing SO
much as orce the divine thinker. 1t
sets forth the design and illustrates
how it enters into the mysterious WEB
of things, but utterly fails to discover
in the whole universe the Infinite De-
signer.
Truly, judged by his own works.
Herbert Spencer lived and wrote under
the sum- not above it. Not one glimpse
does he ever get of his Fathers face:
not one single thought of his Fathers
love and tender care ever enters his
mind 1t is just this that makes his
life, like the book of Ecclesiastes, so
painfully sad. 1t is all under the sun,
all within this mundane sphere. For
years we have been indulging the hope
that Spencer's life might broaden out
and, like the book of Ecclesiastes, close
with some bright cheering beams OF
unaarthly glory; but it is ended now. a
great mind linked to a little circum-
scribed northumberland arrogance

RUSH TO CALIFORNIA.
Santa Fe Officials Say It SURPRISES
All Previous Years.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 21.-Passenger
business from the east to southern Cali
fornia is booming as it has-never done
before, although the present has come
to be regarded by transcontinental traf-
fic experts as a between-season period
The tourist business to Los Angeles
will not begin until after January l.
General Passenger Agent Byrne of the
Santa Fe estimated that in November
not less than 1000 more persons were
landed in Los Angeles from the east
than ever before in the same month.
The rush was due to the colonist rates
that prevailed then, but which have not
been on sale since December 1. The
tariffs then made placed the Santa Fe
in the remarkable position of being
compelled to refuse business in the last
days of November, because of the re-
markable rush of passengers who de-
sired to come to California and who
delayed their arrangements until it was
too late. Passenger men today said a
conservative estimate of the number
of persons who had taken advantage of
the cOlonist rates was not less than
$4,000, and of these at least so per cent
come to southern California. 1t is esti-
mated that 80 per cent of thise who
came west at that time remained here,
as the low rates applied only one way.

TWO MILES IN LENGTH.

Galveston, Dec. 21.-The Southern Pa
cffic and the Rock Island systems are
back of the project for the construction
of a causeway across Galveston bay,
just west of the city. The plans call for
a causeway about 500 feet wide, with
concrete retaining walls and an opening
of about 300 feet to permit the flow of
water from the upper Galveston bay to
the west bay. A double track railroad
bridge, a wagon bridge and foot bridge
will be built across this opening. The
single track bidge now spanning the
bay is two miles long and the causeway
will mean the filling of this area with
a 300 foot width to the new grade of
the city. The double track steel bridge
idea has been abandoned and the new
improvement will be made by the or
ganization of a company of Galveston
capitalists, in which the railroads en-
tering this port will take the majority
of the stock. Representatives of con-
tracing firms have been here this
week, making surveys Of the work.
which, when completed, will cost over
81 900 900, and establish permanent and
safe communication between the island

THREE KINDS OF FUEL.
O. r. Hudson's Road Uses Oil, Coal
and Wood.

When the Brownsville extension of the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass is open
ed the road will on that branch of the
system revert back to the old time loco
motive fuel, wood. In this the manage
ment figures it will help to develop the
section which the new branch traverses.
There is a world of fine mesquite wood
that is being cleared away, and this will
be. cut into proper lengths for locomotive
firing. The growth of mesquite is large and
dense-large enough even to furnish splen-
did ties.
Mesquite wood makes a strong fire, pro-
ducing a great amount of heat, though
its consumption is more rapid than oak.
The management of the Sap" believes
that this fuel on the Brownsville branch
will prove economical to the road and the
handling of it before delivery to the rail-
way company will distribute money
among the people of that section.
The Sap will then be one of the few
roads in this country using three kinds
of fuel on its engines-coal, oil and wood.
President Hudson of the Sap believes
the mesquite tie to be an economical one
in that its life is longer than the hard
pine tie so generally used by roads in
this state. On the Brownsville branch,
where the dry seasons are long, he thinks
the mesquite tie will last for fifteen years,
practically double the life of the pine tie
under ordinary conditions.-El Paso

CALLED aN1eaER wENoH."
Negro Woman Sues Wabash for
Smoking Car Insults.

Kansas City, Dec. 2-If passengers on
a railway train insult a woman and the
railway employees refuse to give her
proper protection from such insults, should
she be entitled to damages from the
company.
Lucy A. Garner thinks so, and for that
reason brought suit in the circuit court
Saturday for $1,000 against the Wabash
Railway company.
She says that She left ST. Louis on the
Wabash for Kansas City September 6,
1893; with a first class ticket: and occu-
ploye came to her and told her she must
go to another car, which she did. This
car, she says, was occupied mostly by
men who. when she had taken her seat,
spoke to her and of her as a ''nigger
wench" and even more opprobriOus cpl
thets, that when the train came to tun-
mel the men crowded around her and
threatened to throw her from the train.
Miss Garner further contends that she
called upon the employees of the road to
protect her, but that they refused her
their aid.
If the woman We're white and her allie
cation were true there would probably be
no question as to the result of the out
come of the case. It will be interesting to

in the accompanying illustration.
That is to say, you place nine of
the pennies in a straight line, one be-
low the other and two on each side of
the third penny from the top.
Now, with the cross thus made you
may count nine in three different
ways: First, the stem counts nine:
from top to bottom; second, count
six from the bottom up to the cross
piece, and then three from the middle
penny of the crosspiece to the right;
third, count six from the bottom up
to the crosspiece, and then three off
to the left.
The puzzle is to take away two OF
the pennies and leave the cross so
that it will count nine in three differ
ent ways.
Lay the paper down and try it.
Perhaps you nay succeed but If you
do not, take away one penny from
each side and remove the top penny
to the bottom. Simple enough, isn't
it-when you find it out?

Simple but Effective Trick.

Into glass dish pour water until
1t Is about an inch in depth Now
II you stand glass tumbler in the
dish upside down, the water will rise
In 1t almost as high as 1t is in the
dish. 1t will not rise quite so high,
because there is air in the tumbler,
and that will prevent 1t.
But there Is simple way to make
1t rise higher In the tumbler than 1t is
In the dish. Get fiat cork and put
II In the water; 1t will float. OF course
Now, light wad of paper, lay it on
the cork and place the tumbler over

rise In the glass, and will not fall
again. II you leave the glass as 1t is.
The reason is that the burning of
the paper exhausts some of the air In

on the inside OF the glass, the water
