''the demon Togo" was the same man

Yes" said the officer. but why do

Togo conducts himself with great

grateful countrymen gave him mag

formal reception. saying: The war
is not yet over. When We are through
with the Russians you may honor me

accompaniment, moved Togo to tears.

TN these days of popular astronomy
for the million 1t seems scarcely
/ necessary to describe at length what
solar eclipse means. Suffice IL TO
say that it is a temporary blanketing
of the sun by the moon coming between
1t and the earth. Both the sun and the
moon are of the same apparent size,
but at times the moon, in her orbit,
seems to be decidedly the larger, and
if then the moon passes exactly be-
tween the earth and the sun total So
lar eclipse ensues and is visible as such
at those portions of the earth within
the shadow-track, and as partial
eclipse along a broad strip on either
side of this
The shadow thrown on blank wall
by any globular body held between a
lighted lamp and the wall is a simple
and homely illustration of an eclipse.
The shadow will be seen to be much
darker in the middle than at the edges,

MATERIALIST MISSES LIES PLEASURES

during all the ages? Has he not glutted
himself with pleasure only to find that
the flavor had gone out of life? IN safety
has he not found misery proportionately
greater than the pleasures he enjoyed?
hold that man is a spiritual not
physical being; that his has his origin
in q spiritual realm; that he
is rooted there, while he has an
outlook on this universe. His body is not
himself, but the medium through which
he expresses himself, the tool he uses
The greatest mistake he can make,
then, is to regard his body as himself
and become merged in it, slave to its
appetites and passions.
The truth, as 1 see 1t, is simply this:
That mans physical senses are made

and satisfaction are too big, too limitless
The San Francisco call., 1905-08-06

N READER of this paper in com
"A menting on a recent article Of
mine, tells me l lay too much
stress on the spiritual side of life
and fail to recognize the Importance of
our physical existence.
Here is the substance of his argument:
1.-The material life represents to us the
only real life. Why should we waste time
trying to be spiritual while we are living
in physical environment? We find our
selves here in physical world endowed
with the capacity to enjoy the pleasures
of that world. We are not spiritual by
nature. We are physical beings and we
have needs and appetites no different
from those of the animals. After ALL is
there anything better for us to do than
to get all the good we can out of life
as we go along-to eat, drink and be
merry and have every bit of pleasure we
can?
After all, don't the people who try to
lead spiritual lives, as you term it, get
cheated out of a good time in this world I?
Don't they, in striving after the unreal,
miss the real pleasures of life?
/ contend that just the reverse of the
proposition is true. 1t Is the materialist
that misses the real pleasures in this
life.
1t is the man that believes himself 10
have his origin in matter that is really
cheated out of genuine happiness and real
Joy in this world.
The man whose capacity for pleasure is
limited to his five senses; that has no
consciousness Of regions in himself that
extend beyond the material and that aims
to crowd all the pleasure possible into
the time allotted to him on this planet be-
cause he has no knowledge of another ex-
istence, will sooner or later come to see
that he is missing the very good he seeks.
He is bound to discover that with all his
feasting. he has simply been feeding on
husks.
If the material concept of life really
resulted in a fuller, happier existence for
those maintaining it, one might see some
reason for 1t. But it does not. What has
been the experience of the sensualist
The San Francisco call., 1905-08-06
MEANING OF A SOLAR ECLIPSE.

and the former is known scientifically
as the umbra, while the lesser haze is
termed the penumbra. If the observer
now so stations himself that his eye
views the globular body from the CEN
ter of the umbra, the lamp is seen to
be entirely hidden, but when viewed
from the penumbra, part of the lamp is
visible. Such is precisely what hap
pens in solar eclipse. For two or
three minutes the moon completely
hides the sun. and the light of the lat
ter-is shut off from the observers of the
earth; but because of the distance the
three planets are from one another,
the shadow of the moon is cast on only
a small portion of the earths surface.
Where the eclipse is total, or almost so,
the light enjoyed at the greatest phase,
or middle of the eclipse. will be similar
to that of a bright moonlit night
From The Coming Eclipse of the Sum-"
by p L. McGrath, in the American
Monthly Review Of Reviews.
The San Francisco call., 1905-08-06

to be compressed within the five senses
we understand those senses.
The spirit in man is always crying for
more life, more happiness. In his ignor-
ance he thinks to satisfy that longing by
indulgence in material pleasures only. but
he is thwarted always. The spirit in him
is too fine and beautiful to be satisfied by
such gross means.
The physical alone is not vast enough,
not high enough to interpret his needs
nor meet his craving. Hence his verdict
after bitter experiences, that life is not
worth living. Hence his dissa atisfaction,
his disgust, his WEAKNESS of existence.
There are vaster regions in man than
he at present dreams. There is a deeper
capacity for happiness in him than he can
know. while he is hampered by the limited
fieshly concept of himself he now holds.
When he really sees that he is spiritual,
not a material being, he will know how
to live.
