IBsEN's PARADOX.
And the Intimate Relation OF Science
to Society.


to Society.
lbscn, my great compatrlot, has in
one of his works formulated the para
doN That the man Is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth In thls-nay. there Is much
truth In 1t so far as science Is con-
ccrncu. The man who In the search
for truth goes his way Independently
OF other men and of other considera-
tons Is certainly the man who Is apt
to find the greatest ana most valuable
truth. On the other hand. II Is also
true that science more than most other
things in life depends on corporation,
on the help of ones felioy beings, and
this becomes more aud more true every
day. Many people arc apt to forget
what science actually Is and what they
owe to science. for 1t Is through sci
once that modern society actually cx-
ISIS, and the development OF society M
1t Is today would be impossible IL sci
cnce were eliminated. Humanity ia
growing: but, IL science and the means
created by science are not growing, hu-
nnnlty will have to look forward to a
'ery miserable future. Therefore the
,ation that wishes to be cared fog
must support science and those who
carry OH scientific work. Science will
live her own life and has done SO ever
since the days when Promctheus made
Ills fatal expedition to tho gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning In every one OF us and cannot
be cNtlnsulsllcd. There Is something
sublime in this everlasting fire of sci
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The individual Is nothing, but
always "watchful in the tower man
hail remain In slecpless contemplo-
tion."-Dr. Manson.

FOSTER CASE ARGUED
Decision Will be Handed Down by
Court Of Appeals Today.

LAWYERS DIFFER WHAT IT WILL Be
Some Think That the Court VIII
Be Divided and Others Hold That
1t Will Be Adverse to Judge Tyler
and Dr. Foster.
(By Associated Prtss. }

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 6.-The
argument for the writ of prohibition
against Judge Gardner Tyler of the
Circuit Court for James City county
and DR.. Foster, superintendent of
the Eastern State Hospital, was
made in the Court of Appeals here
today. The application for the writ
was made II week ago by the At
torney General of the board of d.
rectors. The object OF the writ is
to prevent Judge Tyler from re.
straining DR.. o. Il. Brunk, the APP
pointee, from taking charge of the
hospital and to restrain Dr. Foster,
who has been deposed by the board,
from Interfering with DR.. Brunk in
anyway in the management of the
institution by DR.. Drunk There is
difference of opinion as to the
final outcome by the lawyers who
heard the argument, some contend
ing that the case will fail by rea re-.
of divided court and others l.pld-
ing that the decision will be adverse
TO Judge Tyler and DR.. Foster. The
decision of the court will be handed
down tomorrow.

ANCIENT BELLS.

Well Known to the Egyptians Before
the Jewish Exodus.
Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time of the Jewish ex.
odus. In the description of Aaron's
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there We're bells of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue, Of purple
and Of scarlet: "a golden bell and q
pomegranate, n golden bell and pome-
granate upon the hem of the robe
round about. And 1t shall be upon
Aaron to minister. and his sound shall
he heard when he goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
.comcth out, that he die not"
Hand bells were in common use all
over the ancient world. The earliest
use Of bells in churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air, and the earliest curfew
was rung Mt nightfall to rid the neigh
horhood of the village or town and
church of demons. Most old churches
of Europe have n small door on the
north side, and Mt certain points in the
service this door was opened and n
bell was rung to give notice to the dcv-

MY brother promptly replied:

know that he never had a sister Lucy,
SO she could not have married Jacobitc.
