A Novel Bottle

In furnishing information concern
ing Calcutta's supply of the various
SOFT drinks, Consul General William
H. Michael refers as follows to an i'm
proved bottle in use:
This bottle is SO blown as tn con.
tain in the neck a round glass stop.
per- which is forced upward by the
gas in the bottle and holds the gas
perfectly. An expert can remove half
the contents Of one of these bottles.
and by shake force the ball up
into the neck, and thus preserve the
remaining half for future use. It is
an ingenious device, and every way
superior to the old-style corks. In
opening bottle wooden, cup-shaped
device. which fits in the hollow of the
hand and contains short nipple. is
placed over and against the glass ball
stopper and pressed downward. This
causes the ball TO drop down into the
neck of the bottle, prevents too rapid
escape of gas and foam, and. if only
part Of the contents is required. the
ball may be forced back into the posi-
ton as stopper.

Wsman Tougher Than Man.

Although men. as they run, are per.
haps muscularly stronger than WON.
en-, their ability to withstand the eIe.
ments and their reliance upon clothes
places them considerably below the so
called weaker sex in the matter of un
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use them
as a protective covering. A group of
men marooned, elothesless on an island
in the temperate zone might be expect
ed to die off in month from draughts
and colds and rheumatism. The health
of women similarly placed would suf
fer little from the enforced exposure.
The fact appears to be, therefore, that
in everything but muscle-in vitality
ruggedness, character, disposition
brain power, etc, woman is the tough.

The Spider and the Ely.

In the long warfare between the
spider and the fly, the latter has had
the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated,
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth
lessly destroyed This unremitting
and unrelenting war against It keeps
the spider population down. while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten of millions, almost
unchecked. The spider is ugly and
his web is unsightly in the estima-
ton Of most people, but spiders hurt
no human creature. They feed on
flies. which are the foes of mankind.

BAUMGARDT WILL GIVE

HalI-No Educational

Los Angeles people will have their
final opportunity of hearing Prof. B. r.
Baumgardt's most interesting lecture,
"Rome, the Eternal City" at Blan-
chard hall tonight.
Upon returning from trip through

with so many urgent requests for a
epetition of his lecture In connection
with the fifty new views he has recent
ly had finished that he finally allowed
himself to be prevailed upon to give

part of us which is immortal is our in
! telligence. Upon this assumption, and in
view of all that has gone before, l pro-
| pose to submit a statement of being to
| YOU known as the scientific statement
! of being" to be found on page 46S of
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy
and ask you if it does not appear to be
a rational statement, to wit:
Statement of Being
There is no life, truth, intelligence
nor substance In matter. All is infinite
Mind and it's infinite manifestation, for
God is All in all. Spirit is immortal
Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is
the real and eternal; matter is the un-
real and temporal. Spirit is God. and
man is His image and likeness; hence
man is spiritual and not material"
Go carefully over the above state
ment, with the assistance of your
teacher if you like, and kindly point out
to me, when we meet. any error you
may detect in it. In the meantime it
may be we'll to make few more brief
and opposite quotations from Professor
Bowne's metaphysics, beginning
with pp 100, 101: THE finite is depen-
dent on the infinite, and is also men,
ber of a system to which it is continu-
ally subject. The result is that the
finite spirit has only limited and rela-
tive existence at best. AS compared
with the infinite, it has only partial
and incomplete existence In the fullest
sense of the word, only the infinite eX-
lists; all else is relatively phenomenal
and non-eXistent.'
One of the most fruitful sources of
error, to common-sense, is the neces-
sity it seems to be under of posting
it's objects in space-space seems so
real to it. What would common-sense
do with it's objects If there were no
space to put them in? And yet in re-
ality there is no space. Space is
trick of the human mind by which it
relates it's objects in space form. On
page 124 of Metaphysics" we read:
"In the Theory of Thought and Knowl-
edge it has been shown that space,
whatever else it may be, is primarily
a mental principle according to which
the mind projects and relates the OBJ
jects of external experience.
We as little need a real space to see
things in as we need a real space to
dream things in. In both cases the
spatial form is primarily mental i'm
position from within, and not pass
i've reception of something existing
without" Page 155: "The conception
of omnipresence as boundless space
filling bulk is contradiction, for that
which is in space and fills space cam
not be omnipresence in space, but diff
ferent parts must be in different
places Each part, then, would be in
its own place and nowhere else. Thus
the unity and omnipresence of the in
finite would disappear. Again, on page
134, referring to space: Its reality is
incompatible with the unity of being,
and with the unity of all principles in
one fundamental being" And on page
1OS: again, those first principles
themselves must be founded in the ma
ture of the infinite. Just as what is
real is founded in the infinite, so also |
what is true is founded in it,"
Now. fundamental unity means one |
ness and if we have unity of first |
and fundamental being"
we have oneness of Being and Prin- !

sense of things and so acquired a
knowledge of evil, he should die. And
Paul told the Romans that "to be
| carnally minded is DEATH but to be
} spiritually minded is life and peace"
Therefore Paul enjoined the Ephesians,
THAT ye put off concerning the form
er conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of
your mind and that ye put on the
| new man, which after God is created
in Righteousness and true holiness"
"Putting of" Process
| If God had created this material or
| fleshly man it would not be possible
| for us TO put him off; but If we have
consciousness, we can put him off
by attaining spiritual con-
sciousness, which is the way point
| ed out by Christ. Paul said to the
| Colossians, Lie not one to another,
| seeing that ye have put off the old
! man with his deeds, and have put on
| the new man, which is renewed in
| knowledge after the image of him that
created him.
We find, then, that, according to
Paul, this putting off process is a men,
tai one. We are told to put on the
new man by being renewed sin the
spirit of your mind" and this new
man is renewed in knowledge after
the image of him that created him.;
that is this renewed man is the man
of spiritual reality which God created
in His image and likeness. Hence
Christ said to Nicodemus, "Ye must
be born again." The sense-conception
of yourself is erroneous, and before
you can see the kingdom of God-that
is, before you can come into full
consciousness of Truth-you must go
back to the beginning and correct this
error in it's incipiency; you must recog-
nize yourself as a spiritual being, for
God is Spirit, and that which is born
of the Spirit, that which has it's or
igin and source in Spirit, that which
Is produced or created by Spirit, is
spiritual. On the other hand, that
which is flesh is born of the flesh, has
it's source and origin in a fieshly or
material sense of things. Now, then,
would you make God the source, Or
igin, or creator of this matter-man,
this fieshly myth which you call man ?
Christian Scientists believe that this
is the truth which Christ Jesus came
to bring to the world viz. that man
is spiritual and not material. That
the real man, the man that God Great |
ed, being wholly spiritual. must be
governed wholly by spiritual law; and
that. therefore. the supposed laws of
materially have no application to him
whatever.
Sickness may be defined as simply |
an impaired sense of being. What is |
Life? We have seen from philosophy |
that there can be but one fundamental |
being or Life, in which all other being |
is rooted. Paul says. "To be spiritually |
is life. John says, "This is
life eternal, that they might know thee.
the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom thou hast sent"
Life Mental Being
So, life is not q breathing process
at all, but knowing or mental process.
To know, that is, to understand is to
live. Life is spiritual or mental being,
to be known or understood, and not
thing to be doctored with !
