SAYS MRS. EDDY's
SCIENCE IS THE
TROUBLE CAUSE

Easton, Pa. July 3.--For some time all
has not been well in the family Of Ed
ward Hart. for many years head of the
department OF chemistry at Lafayette coll
lege. and yesterday Mrs. Hart, the last
of the family at home, packed up her per-
sonal belongings and left for PhIladel-
phia TO join her two sons. The differences
in the family have been known to many
OF their friends. and for months Prof.
Hart has not lived In his own house. but
has occupied rooms In a building on the
campus.
The separation OF the family is generally
ascribed to differences over Christian Sci
ence. and dates back TO the illness OF
Norman Hart, the eldest son, who died Of
typhoid pneumonia. about five years ago.
Prior 10 the boys death Christian Sci
ence had been talked OF a good deal in
the family, with Prof. Hart opposing the
teachings and declaring he could not ac-
cept them, and Mrs. Hart became inter-
ested and seemed inclined to accept the
doctrine. When the boy became Ill his
father. II is said, was not notified, but a
Christian Science healer was consulted
and gave treatment TO the young man at
one OF the hotels I'm this city, the healer
not being allowed to come to the house.
When the death robbed DR. Hart of his
son he became bitterly antagbnistic to the
teachings OF Christian Science Although
members OF his family endeavored to
soothe his grief and reconcile him to his
loss. there began 10 grow up an estrange-
ment due TO the fact that his family seem
ed TO be imbued more strongly than ever
with the teachings OF Christian Scientists.
Efforts on the part Of Mrs Hart to in
duce her husband TO accept her views
were Intellectual.
Or. Hart stands among the leaders OF
his profession in this country and is
noted as n chemist

Silence and Science.

Before it was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today a smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar, ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort. Disturbed minds are loss through re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat tling car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail- roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press.
