Describe him. -
This was the stumbling block The
absolute end Of the argument had
been reached, from the god stand
point. Until that moment that friend
actually believed he did understand
god. The belief had been accepted
without investigation but it is enough
to show that god disappears when the
light of investigation begins to shine
in the dark corners.
Similar conditions confront Prof.
Porter. He talks glibly about god and
the future life when he is even unable
to- comprehend either and is incap-
able Of making demonstration to prove
his contention. God was the answer
to ignorance to everything it did not
understand and it is the cry Of igno-
rance still when confronted by nat

motion and the fury of the elements

results Of his handiwork humanity

than to quote Lucifers answer to

SIGNS IN THE SKIES.

AccOfuluS " Iue cOlnDlOu OfJuOuOA
notion heaven is located somewhere in
the skies, while hell is given habitat
somewhere beneath the earth's crust.
Illimitable space excludes heaven as
Il place for human abode, while the
earth being but eight thousand miles
in diameter, the center thereof cannot
be more than four thousand miles
away, a distance, within which, hell
must be if the orthodox theory is
correct.
Many Christians have partially
abolished hell and now pretend to
look upon it as mere condition, not
place for eternal punishment, but
they cling to heaven with all the old
time fervor AS we can only know
pleasure through contrasting it with
pain, the orthodox bliss Of heaven can
not be genuine happiness if there be
40 pain on the otherside. When the
Christian gives up hell he quietly
permits heaven to depart with it.
Such crude conceptions OF life be-
yond the grave have given plenty of
room for speculation with a hollow
protense added At frequent inter-
walls men will profess to see signs of
heaven in the clouds, or il the skies,
while we seldom hear Of any signs
from or concerning hell. Many pro-
fessors of theology strive to attain
public notice by making absurd claims
of knowing something about heaven,
the conditions Of existence therein,
how to get there and what you will
do upon arrival These pretend or
assume, to have read signs" and
they then undertake to- attempt an
Interpretation thereof as if they
could possibly know any more about
what is not than the humblest person
on earth.
According to recent publications
Prof. j. G. Porter Of the University
of Cincinnati, i'll an address before the
Lane Seminary, told his audience that
he had seen signs in the skies" of
astronomical import which proved
the life beyond the grave and were
confirmatory Of the power, wisdom
and benign character Of the deity. He
is reported to have insisted upon the
notion that the whole trend Of the
science Of astronomy was to confirm
the faith that existed in men of a
reality of the life after death.
Every capable student Of the science
of astronomy knows that such a state
ment is not true, and if Prof. Porter
has been correctly quoted the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati ought to get rid of
him at the earliest possible moment.
If he is undertaking to teach to the
minds of young men and women such

false and absurd notions he is a posi-
tive injury to education If he has
no better conception of the cosmos,
as drawn from astronomy, he is I'M
fitted to teach even class of shoats
AS matter of fact, if, as reported
Prof. Porter is Doctor Of PhilOso-
ply he has been sadly overlooked
and has a philosophy all to himself
One Of the earliest Impressions made
upon the student of astronomy is its
eternal conflict with theology and
bible cosmogony. The student soon
learns that no god was ever engaged
i'll sideral occupation or that he
just happened to make the stars
also lie soon learned that the earth
was not the all in all of the universe
and that it was not placed here for
the sole and especial benefit of the
biped man. He soon learned that the
earth, in comparison with the solar
system, was but as "a mere grain of
dust, fy-specked eidolon on the
horologue Of time. He also learned
that even the solar system was but
one Of many solar systems making up
an astral system of enormous magni-
tude, and that the astral system was
but one Of many other astral systems
of a like vast extent, and his learning
soon extended to the knowledge that
in all the universe there was no room
for a planet making god, especially of
that order which exhibited to Moses
a part Of his anatomy which he ought
TO have kept under cover.
The science Of astronomy is study
Of the planetary systems, their ar
rangement and orderly procession.
The science of geology is a study of
their composite elements Both have
made enormous inroads upon the pre-
vailing orthodox beliefs, and as a
rule, the clergy resist them with all
the intensity Of their nature. Signs
in the skies of a character that con-
firm the belief in heaven or hell, or the
existence Of a sentiment world made Of
Supreme power and Intelligence, can
only be seen by the credulous and ig-
norant These signs never appear to
the educated. They always manage to
get out of the way of intellect.
But a few days ago a well meaning
friend, Of a rather orthodox turn,
pointed to snow storm and asked the
Blades editor, who made it. The re-
ply was that the snow was produced
by purely natural causes; that the
moisture in the atmosphere became
CONCEALED by being brought into con-
tact with a falling temperature, and
the flakes being crystallized fell light
ly to the earth from the force of gray
itation. In other words, the snow, we
replied, was but CONCEALED moisture,

the obstacles that Have been encoun- tered in the past by the contractor at Roosevelt. and which have delayed the work somewhat but he is more than pleased with what is be- ing done now. The construction has reached a point where it cannot be materially interfered with by the floods and there is nothing else that can be foreseen that will greatly re- tard the work The setting of the gates in the sluicing tunnel may stop things for a few days but not long.
 The cement mill is working per- fectly and the building of it has been one of the wisest steps taken in the whole management of the project. It will be recalled by many that when the construction of the mill was under taken by the government a great pro- test was made by the cement trust which had hoped to supply the cement for the work but could not do so for anything like the cost al which the government could build a mill and make it. Feeling it's first obligation being to the farmers for whom the dam is being built, the government was firm and proceeded to the building of the mill regardless of the opposition. The fact that the trust fought the en- terprise after all only added to the good fortune of the valley for as a result of it a gerat deal of publicity was secured for the project in quarters which perhaps would not have been reached and impressed for a long time except for that incident

UNsANITARY NATIVES
Menace Their Own and the Whites
 Existence in Alaska

Washington. Feb. 13.-A report of q startling nature in regard to interior conditions in Alaska was received by the senate today from United States Judge Gunnison at Juneau. He said it was an impossibility to make the natives understand that a contagion constituted a menace to the entire population, including the whites. and he strongly urged the passage of leg islation empowering the territory au- thorities to enforce sanitary regula- tions. Judge Gunnison said that under his instructions the grand jury had made investigations which showed that the natives. suffering from con- tagious disease are permitted to travel at will. occupying the same railroad coaches with white citizens and lodS- ing at the same hotels. The report showed that tuberculosis and aracho- ma as well as other contagious dis eases are common among the natives and that they disregard all rules Of sanitation.

BEAR RtCkLtSSNESS
 RECEIVES PUNISHMENT
The Shorts Were Given the Wrong Tip
 as to the Paeific's Dividends.

New York Feb. l3.-The early stock market today presented graphic evi- dence that an important proportion of the conspicuous selling which carried prices downward on Monday and again in the closing dealings of Tuesday must have been the rather reckless operations on the short side market. When the sellers felt impelled to cover today they found a scarcity of stock and an upshot of prices resulted. Positive assertions on Monday that Union and Southern Pacific dividends would be reduced were accompanied by a free selling of those stocks. The declaration of dividends on these stocks today at unchanged rates ac- cordingly caught an important short interest uncovered. They were fore most in the advancing tendency. Coalers were also conspicuous, unset ting factors. There was a pressure on American Smelling and violent breaks in several Gould stocks with no apparent support the days develop

He will leave here this morning for San Fran cisco and from there will go to oregon. thence east and possibly back south again as far as New Mexico. His visit west was primarily to attend the Yuma conference of engineers which has been heretofore referred to. but while west he will avail himself of the opportunity to visit a number of the reclamation projects.
