Many many centuries ago certain think
ers of India formulated a system of re-
lig:ous philosophy and gave it utterance In
a series of great poems or hymns which
were recited or chanted in the ceremonlals
and transmitted from generation to genera
ton by memory. This was before the days
of printing. before the days of written Ian
guage. These poems, the Vedas, were sung
and spoken to scores of generations pos
sibly more than 1000 years before Christ.
Coming down through the ages, growing.
in volume and becoming solidif1ed into
great scheme of spiritual belief and In
struction, the Vedas have remained the
center of the Indian religion. For CEN
turtles they were jealously guarded. Even
when they had been given form in written
language they remained sealed book to
the west until Max Muller, the great Ger
man English philologist, undertook their
translation. With his exposition of the
solemn beauty of the Vedas there dawned
in the western world new understanding
OF their meaning. 1t was found that the
Vedic philosophy was one of peace ana
purity, of spiritual aspiration, OF beneh-
cence. The veil of mystery had invested II
with many strange qualities, ana It's rena-
ing disclosed a literature of remarkable
beauty and a religious system of vital truth
in its essence.
While Max Muller's translations served
to broaden the conception of scholars OF
the true nature of the Vedic philosophy and
literature, the spiritual significance was
not advanced. The living exponepts of the
philosophy were all Hindus. closely en-
gagged in their studies and works at homo
and disincIined to spread their influence
abroad. Yet a change was working In
India. great teacher known as Rama
krlshna formed In Calcutta center of In
struction and around him gathered dis
cipIes, young men fired with spiritual in
SEPARATION. There were many such centers,
many teachers and multitudes of disciples
throughout India. The Ramakrishna center
evolved view of the philosophy which APP
pealed to such western minds as became
aware OF its significance, and when, In. 1898.
was held the worlds parliament OF re-
lIgions In connection with the Chicago ex-
position. 1t was decided by the then leader
of the Ramakrshna mission in Calcutta,
the Swami vivekananda, to come to Amer
lea and expound the principles of Vedanta
to the world.
From Swami Vivekananda's visit to the
United States has grown a movement
which has since been steadily gathering
headway In the study of the Vedanta phil
osophy. Beginning with classes in New
York, there later came the organization

Danger in Copper.
From the Montreal Star.

France has decided to do away with cop
per coins entirely after the end of the
present year. This is in consequence Of
the repeated and vigorous warning that
the copper coinage caused several diseases.
copper coin which has been for any time
in circulation is covered with an oxide
which is virulent poison. Yet people un-
hesitatingIy handle such coins; and. Of all
others. most frequently give them to in
FAINT children. France will substitute
smaller and neater nickel coins. 1t would
seem to be a good time for Canada to con-
slider some such change. Not only would
this be desirable for the same kind of sam
ltary reasons as those which actuate
France. but because, as the great nickel
producing country of the world, Canada
should avail herself Of the legitimate adj
vertising that the use of nickel coinage
would give her.

IL SO boldly. as did the sages among the
ancient Aryans who inhabited India For
nearly nve thousand years, indeed. India
has held In her bosom the sublime idea that
Truth Is one. but the means of attaining

Upon this truth rests the structure of

NEW PROTOCOL READY
Pact Between Dominican and Wash
inston Governments viii Be Sent
to the Senate

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Minister Daw-
son cables the state department from
san Domingo that 4 new protocol
providing responsibility for San Do
mingo finances by the United States,
was signed yesterday. The document
is expected here early next week 1t
will be submitted Immediately to the
senate.
1t is drawn on the lines Of the origi-
nal proctocoH so far as concerns the
administration of customs by officials
designated by the United States and
the segregation of a portion of the Gus
toms receipts TO defray the foreign in
debtedness of the country. The date
for beginning this administration will
be left for the senate to insert.
An important feature of the protocol
is the omission Of the provision in the
original memorandum of January q.
guaranteeing the integrity of San Do
mingo. The new document simply
binds the United States to respect the
integrity of the Dominican territory
The Monroe doctrine is regarded as
sufficient to convey the broader guar

Mr.. Mccall said that If the lid of this
Pandora's box should be removed every
thing would escape from 1t hut hope. He
declared II would be better to let the
struggle between the cities md the rail-
roads go on than to set up Little machine
or diety. such as the enlarged commits
sion proposed would be. He therefore
would no; give the bill his support.
Further opposition to rate legislation at
this time came from Mr. Sibley of Penn
sylrania, who called upon his colleagues
20 pause and ponder before they acted. He
reiterated his views heretofore expressed
chat there should be larger opportunity
to gather Information.

Mr. Lamar of Florida charged that NJ
McCall's views were those Of the most

against regulating the railroads. Mr.. La
mar claimed for W. ]. Bryan and the

DYNAMITE DISASTER.
Ten Thousand Pounds Of It Slowed in
Mine Exploded, Killing Three and
tniurinu MANY,

Calumet. Mich. Feb 10-Ten thousanc
pounds of dynamite stored under
ground in Il magazine at the eighth
level OF No. 3 shaft of the North kenr-
sarge branch of the Osceola Console
dated mine exploded, killing several
men. three Of whom have been account
ed for. and injurng many others. The
force of the explosion was felt for
miles around, and men working IN other
portions of the mine some distance from
the scene of the explosion We're knocked
down by the concussion.
The cause OF the disaster is shrouded
in mystery and may never be discov-
cred, as William Polltt, jr., the man
who was in charge of the powder, was
probably blown into thousands OF
pieces, no trace Of him having been
found up to this hour.
The list of known dead:
WILLIAM POLLITT, JR., IN charge
Of the magazine. single, aged %. blown
to pieces.
MATHEW kASKALA, a miner,
blown to pieces
PETER KULPA, a trammer, suffo-
Gated. aged 35, married, leaves Il Wife
and three children.
The most seriously injured were:
William Wills.
Peter Putala.
Gus Donald.
Joseph Movie.
MILFORD Rumphry.
Ben Orchard.
John NOrVie.
1t Is feared that four or five other
men are still in the mine. If SO they
are certainly dead.
AS soon as the explosion occurred the

catastrophe by descending into No. |
shaft and crossing over through the
drift on one of the lower levels. The
scene beggars description. The terri
BILE force Of the explosion tore out
plates In shaft No. at the sixth, sev-
cnth, eighth and ninth levels twisted
the ship rails and tore them from the
stringers, and raised havoc in general.
The relief party succeeded in res
cuing several men, who We're taken to
the surface as soon as possible, where
they were revived. Six members of the
rescue party sucCumbed to the deadly
gases and fumes. and were taken to
the mouth of the shaft and re-
susCitated.
Fortunately only two miners and n
party of three TRAINERS We're working

While no trace Of Pollitt and 1<aS-
kali has been found as yet 1t is be-
lieved impossible that they survived

immediate vicinity.
The only body recovered is that of
kulpa. who was suffocated by the
poisonous gases.
The dynamite was placed under
ground in the magazine so as to be near
the men and save delay when blasting
was to be done. 1t consisted of 600 box

thick.

HARBINGER OF EVIL.
Seer of York, Pa, Predicts Year Of
Woe for the World Because Of
Sun Spots

York. Pa, Feb. 1O.--Lce Spangler, the
York prophet. who has attracted much
attention by accurately predicting
great events. has issued his bulletin OF
prophecies for the year 1905, in part as
follows:
Woe unto Russia. She is fast APP
preaching her doom. The people will
overthrow the empire. The royal
family and the leading members of the
nobility viii! be murdered and subject
ed to worse cruelties than they have
inflicted upon the Russian people The
country will be divided up into small
republics and elective monarchies. and
these will be constantly quarreing and
in state of war until the end Of the
world comes In 1908.
The Sun Spot.
The big spot that has appeared
upon the sun is ominous. 1t foretells
rebellion. pestilence and natural catas-
trophies upon the earth. The outbreak
of rebellion il, Russia is but a spark.
1t will be famed into a flame that
will sweep over the world. The United
States will not escape. The worst riots
in the history of the nation are to oc-
cur this year. 1t will be a year of
strikes in all the great Industrial ma
lions of the world
There will be MANY big fires in the
OTllleQ StdleS anu III OtIleI civilized ma
tons. 1t will be a year of great loss
to the insurance companies. In Rus.
STA the revolutionists. when they be-
come more powerful, will resort to the
use of the torch.
Ground Hog the Devils Own.
Belief in the ground hog as wealth
er forecaster is a superstition that
the devil has put in the minds of the
people. According to the ground hog s
appearance there is to be six weeks of
cold weather. According to natural In
dications and to the revelations of God
there will be an early spring. The sum
mer will be a dry one. Crops will be
ruined by droughts. There are to be
numerous earthquake shocks during .ne
| year. These will be most severe in the
old world. In Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey and New England there
viii be shocks of sufficient force 10
cause chimneys to topple over and COR
nices and pictures to fall.
In literary production 1905 will be
| a prolific year. The worlds greatest
book of philosophy, excepting the bible,
of course, will be written this year. 1t
will be written by man who is now
obscure and is struggling against the
greatest odds TO achieve the work that
God has mapped out for him. This
| man will become the warm personal
friend. supporter and defender of Pres.
ident Roosevelt.
