Many Will Leave Ministry

Milwaukee, Wis, Monday Dec. II
That many of the clergy would be
tempted to lay down the ministry and
find some freer atmosphere in which
to serve Christ. if the decision of the
diocese of Western New York which
expelled Doctor Crapsey on heresy
charges were made the decision of the
entire Episcopal church. was the start
ling declaration of the Rev. William
Austin Smith. of st. Paul's church,
yesterday. He declared that the
Episcopal church had not yet learned
to believe in the truth, but it was
afraid, whenever a question of doubt
or investigation was raised. The
truth or falsity of the doctrine of the
virgin birth of Christ, he said; was a
matter of historical criticism, and
heresy trials could not make any con-
tribution to the truth.

COAL FAMINE IN NORTH DAKOTA
Not Town i'm North Half of State
That Has Enough Coal to Sup
ply mediate Wants.

st. Paul, Dec. IA special to the
Dispatch from Grand Forks, N. D.,
says: The fuel situation today pre-
sents the most critical condition that
has existed IN the history of the state.
Careful inquiry in every portion OF the
northern half of the state shows that
there is not town in which coal can
be had except in small quantities and
to supply immediate needs and in
dozens of places there is not pound to
be bought, the dealers having been
out of fuel for day and in some instances
for week or more. some town schools
and lighting and manufacturing plants
have closed and individuals are shar-
ing their small fuel supplies with
neighbors.

WHEAT IN FINE CONDITION.
State Grain Inspector Says Recent
Heavy Storms Have Done
No Damage.

j. w. Arrasmith, state grain in
spector, has returned to Tacoma
from an extended trip through Wash

heavy rain through the state did
practically no damage to the fall
sown wheat. The ground was still
unfroZen and was in perfect eondi-
ton to receive the rain, absorbing
SO much of it, the grain was nearly
washed out. Had the ground been
frozen and the rain thawed the sur

From what he saw and heard, the
orchards and hay fields suffered the
most damage.

The floating dock is not altogether new,
and it is recorded that Peter the Great,
Car Of Russia. had one built In 1923 and
that IL answered every purpose for bis
feet Of comparatively small vessels. The
dock was not built outright, but a hull Of
a ship named Camel was taken for the pur-
pose. Her stern was cut or aud a hinged
gate was fitted to her. She was then
sunk and a smaller ship placed on her
deck The wgter from the Camers hull
was pumped out and she arose to the sur
face. thus demonstrating the practicable

There are other large floating docks be-

Canals and Floods on
Mars.

Herr Sheriff. Of the Berlin Observatory,
has just completed a famous monograph
on the latest discoveries on the planet
Mars. lie states that undoubtedly the
singular regularity Of the canal bands OF
Mars are sure proofs OF human or rather
superhuman intelligence. The enormous
length. hundreds OF times longer than the
Panama Canal. for instance must be
taken as certain evidence of engineering
sim aud scientific inventions far excell-
ing any knowledge Of mankind. The an
nual melting of the great snowcaps at
the North and South Poles Of Mars show
how the comparative absence OF rain is
compensated for
Herr Sheriff says: Imagine two tre-
mendous caps OF snow hundreds OF feet
In depth which accumulate near both the
poles on Mars during the winter months.
Then the canal bands grow lndistlnct, aud
it is evident that no vegetation exists OF
any consequence. But with the torrid
summer OF Mars, which Is as distinctly
hot as the winter Is colder than we can
easily imagine on the earth, the great
snow melts swiftly, rushing. undoubtedly,
into the vast network Of canals from the
foods that run down from the North and
South polar snow and ice nelds. This
annual inundation of Mars must excel
the power of human imagination to de-
scribe.
'sThe ability to guide these foods into
the canals and to prevent the entire sys-
tenn from being washed away shows that
the brains OF the Martian engineers are
infinitely better developed than those OF
the most brilliant scholars OF this planet
"Withln few weeks the faint lines OF
the canals begin to strengthen. This
shows the vegetation springing up where
the water flows. 1t is the borders OF
vegetation which run along both sides Of
the canals on Mars that are seen by the
astronomers OF the earth. Then, when
the summer gradually ends. the yegetas
tion gradually dies out, taking about two
weeks TO completely disappear. The ca
nails grow very faint and remain in this
condition until another Martian winter
has ended, another great melting and
flooding of the canals takes place and once
again the summer vegetation on Mars
springs swiftly into view Of our tele-
scopes"
