DOWIE HONORS WIFE.
How He Pushed Her Into the Lime
light Of His Zion.
Placed Queenly Diadem ON Head Of
Dull, Difiident Little Woman and
ROBBED Her in Garments of
Richest Texture.

In Attired in a gown of regal splendor
and with magnlncent rose diamonds
and other cosby gems adjoining her
somewhat dlminutlve Inquire. MRS. Jane
fDoWie, wife OF John Alexander DoWle,
was indicted one night in the sum-
mer OF 1901 into Office as the only Wom-
an ''overseer" of Zion church and the
Zion business enterprises. The ceIe-
mony OF the installation and her in
vestiture with the Zion robe Of Office
was held in the Zion tabernacle, in
Michigan avenue, near Sixteenth street,
Chicago, the project for the building OF
Zion City near Waukegan being as yet
in its infancy.
The Chicago Chronicle says that until
this formal bringing out" Of Mrs.
Dowie little was known Of her outside
of the clustered walls of the Zion head
quarters at Michigan avenue and
Twelfth street. So her investiture in
the exalted office as joint ruler with her
husband over the fortunes of Zion was
the opening of new epoch in the his
tory of the Dowie movement.
Her gorgeous robe, respondent with
the imported jewelry purchased with
the money OF the tithe-paying Zion con-
sregation, fairly dazzled the multitude.
Her costume on that gala occasion was
family striped with the predominating
Zion color, fine shade of mother OF
pearl. She was hailed with glad acclaim
as the Zion queen, the royal consort of
the high priest and prophet, Elijah Ill.
general overseer of all the hosts of
Zion" Her husband, the prince con-
sort, Elijah" Dowie, was unable to be
present at the ceremony, as he was at
that moment lodging the police who
were seeking to arrest him on warrant
issued by deputy coroner in whose
courtra jury had rendered q verdict that
same evening holding Dowie RESPONSE
BILE for the death of Mrs. Worthington
Judd, a Dowieite who had been denied
medical aid at the command of the,
leader of Zion.
She had only just returned from
visit to Paris, where she had sojourned
a year, most of the time in the hands of
private teachers and tutors, whose task
had been to give her the schooling she /
failed to get in her youth and which was
felt to be necessary even at late date

LITTLE POWER NEEDED.
The Act of Flying Ii shown to BE
the Easiest of All Methods
OF Progression.

| Flying, from the figures available,
may be considered the easiest of al,
methods of progression, calling for less
horse power than any other. AS proof
of this, says the Scientific American,
take, for example, the case of the storks,
which, in their annual migrations, make
fight between Buda-Pesth, in Hun
gary, and Lahore, in India. This, in an
air line, is perhaps 1900 OF 2,4OO miles
and the distance is accomplished in
about "a hours without rest. A horse
driven in a sulky 100 miles in long sum-
mer day is not far from the limit of en-
durance. Six hundred miles in a week
is near the limit of man at the ''go-as-
you please gait Among wild animals
100 miles is about as much as can be
found in the records for "a hours, but
the bird weighing anywhere perhaps up
to 20 pounds makes the $500 miles in "a
hours with ease and certainty twice in
Ia year. If the weight is put at ten
pounds this equals Is ton miles. On the
best and most level railroad and with
carriages operating with the least fric-
ton ten-pound animal would find it
difficult to haul Is tons one mile in "a
hours. These birds fly at great heights,
undoubtedly to reduce the resistance OF
the air. There are many other exam
pies that might be given Of long dis
tances covered by heavy birds, showing
the small amount of power required in
flight The immense speed OF many Of
our birds when in ordinary flight Is ali
other proof of the small amount Of pow
er required.
No animal, whatever it's weight, a
bird only excepted, can make any such
speed as 80 to 100 miles per hour Among
the birds there is a long list Of those
whose speeds are from so miles an hour
upward, their weights being all under Is
pounds. Parenthetically 1t may be re-
marked that naturalists will give dimen-
mons of birds to an eighth of an inch,
carefully spreading their wings and ar
ranging the feathers, but 1t never occurs
to them to give weights. The eagle may
weigh five or fifty pounds, so far as the
records show Hunters rarely speak Of
the weight of birds, though the weight
of game is often estimated and the
weight of fish given to the nea rest ounce.
The facts just given when taken to-
gether show pretty conclusively that the
power necessary for aerial fight is ex-
tremely small rather than very great. It |
also seems to be proved that to fly sue
cessfully the speed must be high.

LAMP POST A TIMEPIECE.
Upon the Principle of the Sun-Dinl
1t May BE Turned to Good
Account.

Have you ever realized that the lamp
post which idly stands in front of your
house or that of your neighbor can be
turned into reliable timepiece-one
which will require no winding up, will
never get out Of order and will neither
lose nor gain? asks the New York Her
AID
Well, this metamorphosis of an ordi-
nary, prOsaic lamppost into an accurate
chronometer may be effected with very
little trouble and without rendering you
liable to the city for interfering with its
property, for the operation entails no
change whatever in the physical condi-
ton of the lamppost.
In word, this seemingly magical feat
is only an application of the principle in
volved in the construction of the Sun
dial-an instrument conceived by the
ancients more than 1000 years ago.
Upon this principle, then, you may
turn your idle lamppost into something
useful. The lamppost will, Of course,
constitute your style or gnomon, as the
continuance for casting the shadow is
called.
But" say you, this thing is not to be-
done without mutilating the city's prop.
erty by engraving dial on the side
walk" And yet, skeptical reader, no
such vandalism is contemplated or is at
all necessary. If you live on the north
side Of the street the shadow cast by
your lamppost will tall on your own
sidewalk, in which event your dial will
consist of the various parts and fittings
of your own stoop and basement. II,
however, your house happens to be on
the south side. the shadow cast by the
house itself will, in all probability, over
cast that Of the lamppost on your side
Of the street, and you will have to utilize
one Of the lampposts and the stoops of
the houses on the other side of the street
for the purposes of your dial.
In either event, however, no mutila-
ton OF the city's property will be en-
tailed.
The manner in which you proceed to
construct your dial is simple enough.
Assuming your @house is on the north
side of the street, you observe at a given
hour, say IL o'clock, just what part of
your stoop the shadow cast by your
lamppost would strike, if prolonged.
Having ascertained that point, make
note Of it-mental, If you think you can
remember it; otherwise write it down.
In the same way and at various hours
Of the day you make additional OBJ
and memorize or note down
new points of direction, and it will not
be very long before you have COM
plete list Of the various points OF your
stoop and basement toward which the
shadow of the lamppost will be directed
at the various hours Of the day.

LIME DUST AND CONSUMPTION.
Experiment with Tuberculosis Pa
tients Shows Effect Of Dust
to BE Injurious.

Those who have made study of tu-
berculosis in cities declare that the dust
of houses, schools and street cars is
liable to contain living bactli, which
come from the careless splitting Of in
valids. The occupation of such rooms
or vehicles when the dust Is disturbed
Gas in sweeping) is condemned as un-
sanitary, not to say dangerous. 1t APP
pears, however, says scientific ex-
change, that there are other kinds Of
dust, from the inhalation of which less
mischief is to be feared.
Reckzch, a German expert, says that
the statistics in lime producing districts
show that pulmonary tuberculosis is
rare, and that sometimes when present
its course is favorably affected. Various
authors ascribe this beneficial effect to
different features attending the occupa-
ton of lime burning. Such are, an eff
feet of the inhaled lime dust in facilitat>
ing Qualification of suppurating foci, the
dryness Of the inhaled air and the deeper
respiration it makes necessary, the
warmth of the inspired air, which con-
tains no tubercie bacilli, and the moro
active metabolism 1t causes.
In order to determine the effect of the
lime dust suspended in the air, the au-
thor caused eight tuberculous patients
to inhale cir charged with the dust by
striking suspended bags filled with pow
dered lime At first the inhalations
were carried on for five minutes daily,
but the time and frequency we're grad
ua,ly increased. Tao results were with.
out encouragement, no improvement in
the pulmonary condition was noticed.
while there were marked undesirable
secondary effects, such as headache
loss Of appetite and nausea.

They saw her canvas CLEAN.
And then the apparition passed
Like an elusive dream.
She vanished out Of human ken:
She lost her name and fame;
But heaven alone knows where or when
Her desolation came.
Stunned by her kin and kind, though still
At heart as proud IS they.
She bides her time to work her will
And holds her fate at bay
While levin bolts forbear to strike.
AS clouds above her frown,
She haunts abysses, phantom-Nke.
That wait to wash her down;
Until despair's appalling call,
In some uncharted zone,
Shall urge her Ger its verge to crawl
And make the plunge alone.
What high hopes persisted in her clutch
Eternity may tell,
The swarl untangle with touch
And break the fatal spell.

in view of the Queenly part her devoted
husband had long been planning for
her to play in Zion.
Except that she is q first cousin of
her husband, nothing has ever been
made known as to the family history
of Mrs. Dowie. Before as well as after
marriage she was Jane Dowie, her ia
ther being q brother of John Murray
Dowie, the putative father of the man
she married. but whom the master of
Zion has repudiated Of late, claiming
for himself divine origin as the re-
incarnation of Elijah and a sort OF inn
maculate conception on the part Of his
"pre-widowed" mother.
John Alexander Dowie married Miss
Jane Dowie in Australia early in the
'70's. She has been the companion Of
all his joys and sorrows ever since She
has been described as possessing none
Of the colossal effrontery of her hus-
band. It was the gossip of Zion that
at the time she was tricked out with
the title of ecclesiastical honor she did
not relish 1t bit, but was bent by her
husbands daring will to share with him
in formal, open manner the theo-
cratic throne he has erected with other
peoples money on the shores of Lake
Michigan. Since then she has made
sundry pitiable efforts to be famboyant
and has made some feeble attempts at
public speaking in the Zion tabernacles.
But it is said on authority that by ma
ture she is really diff1dent, dull little
creature. who would make jelly rolls
much better-and more happily-than
compound daring conspiracies with her
ambitious husband.
Mrs. Dowie Is now in Europe, where
she went with her son at the conclu-
sion of the fiasco of the late invasion
of New York by the hosts of Zion. One
of the persistent rumors about her trip
is that she carried with her over
100000 in treasure, and that the dis
appearance Of that sum was one Of the
contributing causes of the bankruptcy
proceedings In which her husband has
figured during the last few weeks. With
her son, Gladstone Dowie, she is on the
way to Australia, the country from
which she and her husband departed
penniless 20 years ago and where the
prophet has announced he expects to
join her in the spring.
