FROM TREE TO NEWSPAPER.

A London writer says that q Ger

how rapidly it is possible to trans
form a tree into a newspaper. Three
trees In the nelghborhood of his fac

morning. They were instantly bark

MORE ABOUT FATHER eoPoN

The following supplementary de
tails concerning the career of Father
Gopon are published in the London
Times Of Jan. %:
Father Gopon, who is about 80
years of age. is by blood a Ruthen-
I'd, as recently stated. at a theologi-
cal seminary in the government Of
Poltava. After leaving the seminary
he remained in that province aud it
was not until the death of his wife
hat he determined to complete his
studies at the theological seminary
At ST. Petersburg While a student
II that academy he took a very ac-
I've interest in the work of an ins;i-
tntion which has for it's object the
I sescination of religious knowledge
md ethical teaching among the
working classes. Gopon acted as
ae2d 81 one Of tle branches Of this
institution, and, constantly having
occasion % enter factories and ad
.es he operatives, he was appalled,
Hf Lut NOnulNAOuS Ol~- illG WHtAn it
found there and determined TO do
all that lay in his power to improve
them. He conceived the idea Of
founding the Workmens union tBab-
1chly Soyuz) in order to give effect
70 his schemes. His career at the
academy lasted six, instead Of the
normal four, years, as Illness com
PEELED him 10 return to Poltaya for a
prolonged period On concluding his
course at the academy he determin-
cd as 1t was impossible for him as
widower TO obtain position as a
parish priest. TO remain in st. Pet
ersburg. Since 1898, without having
any definite cure of souls. he has
preached and taught in the interest
of ths Workmenrs union. Father
Gopon is not a professed socialist,
aor does he lay any special stress on
he grant of a constitution. He be-
ieves that reforms can be carried out
while safeguarding the traditional
supremacy of the car, and his en-
ergies are devoted not to political
ends. but to improving the material
conditions under which the people
live. There is good reason 10 be
lieve that a large number of the
younger Russian priests share Faith
er Gopon's views, though they have
not ventured to translate them into
practice.
