NATIONAL PURITY CONGRESS.

The forenoon session yesterday o the
National Purity Congress 10 Battle
Creek, Mich, was devoted to business
and the reading OF reports. That from
the committee on education, read by
DR.. Hattie Schweodener, Of st. Joseph,
Mich, the chairman criticised the Ma
tional Educational Association for ignor-
ing petitions to estsb lish committee
to investigate the subject of inaugural
ing the teaching of sexual physiology
10 the public schools.
DR.. 5chwendener said the teaching OF
the street and the playground in matters
of sex aud morality is universal, uncon-
trolsble, incorrect and degrading, and
the belief that it is possible to keep
children in ignorance of these things
until physical maturity is fallacy. A
large msjority of yourg people, the
doctor declared, who contract social
diseases do so through ignorance
of their danger, and much Of
the suffering of the world could
be prevented by anticipating iu-
structiou in vice by teaching purity of
thought, word and deed. To be effectusl,
she said, pure morals should be taught
from the kindergarten to the university
and should underlis and permeate all
teachings in sll branches.
Mrs. Albion Smith, of Hancock, Wis,
gave an sddrtss on "Purity Instruction
in the Home" in which she said that
lack of home instruction is responsible
for large majority of the fallen women
leading the lives that they do. "To one
who has worked among them," she said,
sit is very evident that it is Ignorance
instead of wilful inclination which has
led them into such life"
Among educated mothers there exists,
she said, some strange hesitancy to be-
lieye that their children need any warn
ings concerning personal purity, although
every reputable physician knows that
there are ruined girls wber it is least
expected. "Purity education should be-
gin at the cradle. Better tell children
the mystery Of life year too soon than
q wear too late"

AvERsE TO CONTINUANCE.

At the meeting Of the State Commits
souers' Association at the jamestown
Exposition last night, the representa-
tives of the States of Maryland, Micbi-
gan, New York, Kentucky, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, West Virginia and
Louisians voted unanimously against a
continuation of the exposition another
year, declaring that they did not con-
slider it good business proposition.
The meeting of the association had
been called by the committee of three
appointed for the purpose Of reporting
to the board of directors upon the adviss-
bility of continuing the fair through next
wear, but none of the members OF the
committee appeared to present views
upon the suJsc.. After waiting Tor
more than an hour the members OF the
association discussed the matter them
selves.
1t was pointed out by several that, in
view Of the fact that they had expended
their appropriations and that their leg
islstures weuld not meet this fall, they
we're helpless and could not go ahead,
as there we're no available funds.
1t was also pointed out that no fair, no
matter how successful the first year,
could b. continued another season.
One of the bitter enemies of the re-
opening plan Was DR.. w. O. Stubbs, oi
the L1uisisns Commission, Who said
that Governor Blanchard. who had been
a visitor at the Exposition this week,
had been ignored and slighted BY both
Director General Martin and President
Tucker, for not only did these two Of
ficisls fail to first call upon the chief
executive of Louisisns and extend to
him formal welcome to the Exposition,
but they failed to return formal call
made upon them by the Cover Tor. There
we're several other commissioner, In.
cluding Col. J. O. Given, OF Ohio, whc
declared that the management Of the
Exposition during the past summer hat
been such as to destroy any faith In
future prospects.

Wilson is well known In Boston police

THE MOONS VOLCANOES.

Causes of tho Gigantic craters and
Great Fissure Eruptions.
1t is evident to any one who glances
upward at the moon that It's volcanoes
IRE on an Immensely larger scale than
those which stiia our globe. One ex-
planation, now abandoned, is t5at the
force Of gravitation being there only
,ne-sixth that OF the earth the matter
expelled from a crater would be spread
tar more widely, and explosions would
be generally on far more magnifcens
lcale Professor Pickering quotes this
theory only to refute Il in some com
PARSONS which he made between the
great Voice region OF Hawaii and
Dne OF tbs sysi.sr craters Of the moon.
The facts scam to him to be that the
larger craters on the moon came into
existence when the thin. solid crust
covering the molten interior was. ow-
ng to the qualification and contraction
Of The crust, much too small to contain
the liquid material. The craters were
therefore formed by the lava bursting
through the crust and SO relieving the
pressure. Later, after this relief had
been found and the crust had thicken-
ed, the interior regions by cooling
shrank away from the solid she'll,
which was now too large md, being
lnsuflciently supported, caved In, per-
hitting the great assure eruptlons
which produced the so called lunar
seas. These extensive outiiows Of lava
dissolved the original solid shell when
ever they came into contact with It,
much as they do In the present day in
Hawaii. Had the moon been much
smaller these eruptIons might not have
occurred at all, and II the moon had
been much larger their relative size
would have been greater. Most proba-
bly, on the earth similar outbursts were
greater, and our original gigantic era
ters were destroyed by the outflow OF
the earlier archaic rocks which com
pletely submerged and dissolved them.
