BIRTHPLACE OF MoNAsTlcisM
Asceticism Came Into Existence in
Fourth Century Before Christ.


Fourth Century Before Christ.
1t is easy to comprehend on these
lonely, barren cliffs why Egypt has
been the birthplace and nursery of mo-
nasticism. Recent discoveries have
revealed the fact that this existed be-
fore Christianity, for there was a COM
munity of ascetics in the Serapeum Of
Memphis in the fourth century b. @.
During the prosecutions under Severus,
Decius and other Roman emperors,
what was more natural than that well
known Christians should fly from the
populous towns and green fields of the
Delta and Nile valley, to take refuge
in mountain caves, near to some little
oasis, placing many leagues of barren
wilderness between them and their tor
mentors? Food might be scarce, but
water was assured to them; and in
those circumstances marriage, with he
prospective care of young children,
would be highly undesirable. or as st.
Paul puts it, not good for the present

Thus a new yoke, harder than that

REIGN OF THE DINOsAUR.
Cutting OFF of These Reptiles Almost
Simultaneous the World Over.

Never in the whole history of the
world as we now know it have there
been such remarkable land scenes as
were presented when the reign of these
titanic reptiles was at it's climax. 1t
was also the prevailing life picture of
England, Germany, South America and
India. We can imagine herds of these
creatures from fifty to eighty feet in
length, with limbs and gait analogous
to those of gigantic elephants, but with
bodies extending through the long, fieX-
ible and tapering necks into the di-
minutive heads, and reaching back into
the equally long and still more taper
ing tails. The four or five varieties
which existed together were each fitted
to some special mode of life; some liv-
ing more exclusively on land, others
for longer periods in the water.
The competition for existence was
not only with the great carnivorous
dinosaurs, but with other kinds of
herbivorous dinosaurs Ohe iguano-
donts), which had much smaller-bodies
30 sustain and a much superior tooth
mechanism for the taking Of food.
The cutting off of this giant dino
saur dynasty was nearly if not quite
simultaneous the world over. The ex-
planat ton which is deducible from sim
liar catastrophes TO other large types of
animals is that a very large frame,
with a limited and specialized set of
teeth fitted only to certain special food,
is a dangerous combination of charac-
ters Such a monster organism is no
longer adaptable: any serious change
Of conditions which would tend to
eliminate the special food would also
eliminate these great animals as a nee
essary consequence.
There is an entirely different class
of explanations, however, to be con-
sidered, which are consistent both with
the continued fitness Of structure of the
giant dinosaurs themselves and with
the survival of their especial food;
such, for example, as the introduction
of new enemy more deadly even than
the great carnivorous dinosaurs.
Among such theories the most ingeni-
Gus is that of the late Professor Cope,
who suggested that some of the small,
inoffensive and inconspicuous forms OF
Jurassic mammals, Of the size Of the
shrew and the hedgehog, contracted the
habit of seeking out the nests of these
dinosaurs, gnawing through the shells
Of their eggs and thus destroying the
young. The appearance, or evolution,

WILL 1T GO ON?
Baltic Squadron Has a Long Way
70 Go


The Baltic squadron has passed
down the English channel, but there
are still those who will refuse to be-
lieve that it has started on its long
journey with no purpose of turning
back.
The distance from the Baltic to
Vladivostok is estimated at about 49,
600 miles. If the feet could make 10
knots an hour it would require 55 days
to reach the Siberian port. This is a
high speed allowance, however, for
as was shown in the Spanish-American
war, the speed of a fleet is that of its
slowest vessel.
Allowing 10 days for stops and de-
lays, it would be over two months be-
fore the squadron could reach its des-
tination, assuming that it is not inter
cepted by the enemy. Thus, it would
reach Vladivostok about the middle OF
December, or several weeks after that
port has frozen up.

SUNK english FISHING BOATS.
RUSSIANS BALTIC FLEET GETS
BUSY IN NORTH SEA.
They Used Searchights and Then
Open Fire-Several Boats Sunk and
Crews Drowned-Some of Damaged
Boats and Injured Members of Crew
Reach Hull.

Hull, England, Oct pa. M. Jack
son & Co., solicitors for the owners
of so Hull fishing boats, have notified
the foreign office and admiralty of an
attack on the Hull fishing fleet by the
Russian Second squadron, commonly
designated as the Baltic squadron,
commanded by Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky. The official information is
that shortly after midnight Friday the
Russian squadron fell in with the
Hull fishing fleet in the North sea.
The first portion of the fishing fleet
passed safely. Then the Russian
ships turned their searchlights on the
British vessel for some time, and a
little later opened fire. The steam
trawler Crane was sunk, and the de-
capitated bodies of her skipper and
third hand have been brought to
Hull. The boatswain and other mem
bers of the crew. who are understood
to be seriously wounded, are on board
the mission ship. The only slightly
wounded member of the crew has ar
rived at Hull.
The steam trawlers Moulmein and
Mino have arrived at Hull, seriously
damaged by shots, the latter having 10
holes in the hull 1t is feared that
other damage was done to trawlers,
and that at least one more was lost,
with all hands.
Bombarded by Nearly All Warships.
According to other reports, the af-
fair occurred 200 miles off Spurnhead.
The Russian ships were steaming in
line. The leading ships of the fishing
fleet passed without incident, though
most of the Russian vessels turned
searchlights on the trawlers long
enough to prevent any mistake as to
identity. After the bulk of the squad
ron had passed, it opened fire, nearly
all participating in the firing. The
Crane was struck below the water
line and raked above deck. Skipper
Smith and Third Hand Leggott had
their heads carried away by a shot,
many of the crew being seriously
wounded. Another trawler also was
sunk. but the Moulmein, which
brought the news to Hull has no par
ticulars as to her fate.
The news has created an intense
sensation and indignation in Hull. The
Moulmein arrived with her flag al
half mast.
