SPIRITUAL BLIGHT.
Dealing With Religious Problems
sThe White Death Of the Soul"

From the Literary Digest.
This striking characterization Is given by
Mr.. John Henry Denison, a writer in The
Atlantic Monthly, to the spiritual ailment
that is blighting mems souls in these lat
ter days. This blight is due. he thinks, to
an abuse of intellectual methods. particu-
larly the historic method, in dealing with
religious problems He derives the idea
from John Morleys little book called Com
promise" but carries 1t further than Mr..
Morley does. Mr.. Morley says that In our
day 1.-THE old hopes have grown pale the
old fears dim: strong sanctions have be-
come weak. and once-vivid faiths very
numb. Religion whatever destinies may be
in store for II, Is at least for the present
hardly any longer an organic power It Is
not that supreme. penetrating, controiiing.
decisive part of mans life which it has
been, and will be again. Conscience has
lost its strong ana depressing energy. and
the sense OF personal responsibility lacks
sharpness of edge. The natural hue OF
spiritual resolution Is sicklied DER with the
pale cast of distracted, wavering. confused
thought. The souls of men have become
void. Into the void have entered in triumph
the seven devils OF secularity."
The abuse OF the historic method 10 thus
sketched by Mr. Denison:
CIT Is simply this. The method cuts al
together too large a figure as a means OF
arriving at the truth. It appears to its
yotaries and to the general public as being
the one great and decisive medium OF
knowledge whereas in reality It is no such
thing. To put 1t In plain English, the his
toric method consists In determining what
is by what has been. 1t elucfdates the
present by the past. 1t interpretssthe man

SECRETS OF THE AIR.
Some Interesting Discoveries Made by
Scientists.

From the Edinburgh Review.
Among the most fascinating and elusive
of scientific studies is that of the move
ments OF our terrestrial atmosphere. Ever
since men began to go down to the sea In
ships the needs Of the navigator must have
led him to note for his own future guidance,
and for the benefit OF other adventurers,
the general direction Of the wind at various
seasons In different seas. Gradually as the
world widened the prevailing winds of the
globe became accurately known and the
common knowledge systematized. 30 that
now for probably every part of>the ocean
outside the polar circles there are official
and published records of the winds that
may be looked for at any season OF the
year. Then. too. the student OF physical
geography has noted how large part the
prevailing winds of any region play In de-
termining the climatic characteristics Of
different counties.
In recent years, however, science has not
been content with studying only what are.
after all, movements merely in the lower
strata OF the great ocean Of air on the floor
OF which we live and move. but has sought
to penetrate the mysteries OF the upper air
and to find out its secrets.
Both Rotch and De Bort have devoted
considerable private resources and talents
Of no mean order to meteorological re-
search. and when, in the summer OF 1906.
these two scientists united In joint expe-
dition for the exploration OF the upper air
currents In the trade wind region of the
North Atlantic the results of their observa-
tions were awaited with great interest The
trade winds are the most important of what
may be called the permanent" winds -of
the globe. Thus In the North Atlantic the
northeast trades are In summer found In

WORSHIP OF SPRINGS.
How It Prevailed Among Early Peo'
pies in the Southwest.

From Records OF the Past
Springs are rarely found in the south
western part OF the United States, ana Tor
tbis reason thew have been from ancient
+;roes nrized as a most valued possession.
The peoples who dwelt in this region saw
In these sources Of life-giving water the
founts Of continuance and well-being, and
near them they located their pueblos save
air no elements of nature are nearer to
human life than those combined into the
primitive fluid which must always be with
in reach of men who put themselves into
the grasp Of the desert. The primary
knowledge of the tribes who were the pio-
neers, and of every human being who mas
since made his home In the great american car
desert, was complete as to the location, dis-
tribution and idiosyncrasies or the wafer
supply.
Spring water is naturally more priced by
the inhabitants of those desert soiltuoes
than that from the living streams, because
II is always drinkable and always at hand,
while the watercourses, which for the
greater part of the year are sinuous reach
es of dry sand. furnish at Hood quickly
disappearing supply of thinned mud which
will not be touched by man or beast except
In the distress of thirst
One is not surprised, therefore, that a
primitive people will regard these springs
as sacred in fact the Indians of the south
west are not peculiar In the worship OF
springs. The sentiment Is worldwide. has
had a vast range of time. perpetuates itself
in the folklore of the highest civilizations
and presents in its manifestations a most
Interesting body of myth and fancy. But
In the southwest the arid environment has
SO intensified this feature OF primitive cui-
ture that no spring in the region Is without
evidence of many offerings to the deities Of
water. IT is small wonder, then, that tho
Pueblo Indians came to regard springs with
special veneration, that they wove around
them myth and tradition and made them
objects Of religions worship To one ac-
quainted with the environment and its rad
zeal needs this seems to have been a nat
ural, even though unconscious generalixa-
ton Perhaps offerings to springs will not
admit of such simple explanation. Perhaps
the mystery OF the underground source of
water yelling UP from unknown depths i'm
pressive always even TO the observer who
believes himself free from the trammels OF
superstition. has also had powerful effect
on the mind of the Indian. leading, like
many other natural phenomena, to an atti-
tude of worship Of unseen powers behind
these masks.
