Religious Doctrine Versus the Un'

Religious Doctrine Versus the Un-
thinkabIe In Science.
Paris. like Athens of old, Fever seek
Ing some new thing" Is agltating itself
over a most extraordinary controversy
In the newspapers. 1t is the old an
tagonism of science and religion, but
this time il IL religion turning the Ia
bles on science and charging 1t with
asking the world to believe the "un-
thlnkable."
IL began when an eminent man or
science published an article stating
that he rejected Christianity because
many of its articles Of faith were, In
the light of modern science, "unthink-
able" and citing as examples the doc
trInes of the trinity, transubstantia-
ton. the resurrection Of the dead, etc
To this a famous writer replied by
asking, "Are the most recent discov-
cries and theories Of modern science
any easier to understand or to believe
than those of religionT He called at
tention to the words OF certain modern
mathematician as an example. One
of these writes gravely on the proper
ties of bodies having more than three
dimensions Euclid, the founder of
modern mathematics, propounded as
an axiom that nothing can have more
than three dimenslons-length, breadth
and thickness. A line has length, but
neither breadth nor thickness; plane
surface has length and breadth, but no
thickness: a solid has length, breadth
and thickness. But this modern man
of science discusses objects which may
have length, breadth. thickness ana
some other dimension, or several 9TH
err dimensions, for he asserts that II is
as easy for IL to have an Infinite num-
Der as only four. Another great mathe'
maticlan is writing solemnly OF In
finite spaces inclOsed in other Infinite
spaces, yet another treats OF the pos
siblllty of drawing an Infinite number
of lines parallel to a straight line
through a given point, while still an
other proves beautifully to his own sat
isfaction that ii Is impossible TO draW
a line parallel to another line.
Modern science" In whose name
certain men reject the doctrines OF
Christianity as ''unthinkable," has nc
hesitation In asking the world to be
lieve such seemingly "unthinkable'
propositions as those mentioned, to say
nothing Of the marvels Of wireless
telegraphy and radium, which a few
years ago were equally ''unthinkable."
The controversy RACES back and
forth. the men Of science standing
bravely TO their guns and the men OF
faith laughing In their sleeves at the
contortIons of their learned antago
nists. while the general public is get

PlUCKY WOMAN
WINS HOMESTEAD

After years Of fighting for her
rights, Mrs. Margaret E. Crapper
has won out in land office con-
test for a homestead in this county
She filed on the property in 1892,
but her claim was jumped by a
Swede when she was forced to
leave it to care for sick children
The Swede secured possession and
held it until he was arrested for al
legged theft. Attorney James Hop
kins defended him and afterwards
filed on the claim himself. Hop
kins was unable to prove up and
the property has been in litigation
ever since, going to the secretary
of the interior several times. The
final decision sustains Mrs. Crap
pers claim to the homestead. She
is fortunate in that, as she has

SENATOR DRYDEN'S
SPEECH WINS VOTES


WASHINGTON, d. c., June 22.-
Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, ex-
ercised a little potent influence in
changing senate sentiment from sup
port of a sea level canal at Panama to
a canal of the lock type.
The revolt in favor of a lock canal
yesterday was one of the surpries of
the session, for up to a week ago 1t
was generally believed the sea level
type would win by a heavy major
ity. Senator Dryden signed the mi
nority report from the committee on
inter-oceanic canals, favoring a lock
type and followed this with a speech
which was an exhausting analysis of
the relative claims of the lock and
sea level types. This speech had
great effect on many senator's who
had no taken the time or trouble to
investigate the question so thorough
ly for themselves.
1t has often been said in recent
years that speeches in the senate sell
dom really make votes, but Senator
Dryden's speech is being pointed to
as an exception to this rule.
