TRIED TO LAUGH AT DEATH.

Although Conrad 5teingruber laughed
at he Ohrist Hospital physicians. in
jersey City, who said that he would die
10 "a hours from the effects of bite
from a dog, the prophecy was fulfilled
yesterday. Steingruber said he was q
disbeliever in hydroprobia, and that he
would be around again In q few days,
despite the warnings Of the physicians.
He rapidly grew worse, however, and all
hope was given up of saving his life. he
remained conscious until the end, and
almost the last words he spoke we're
that he would get well.
Steingruber was bitten by dog q
little over three weeks ago, but paid no
attention to the bita, and when warned
By his wife that he might develop rabies
he merely laughed at her, saying hydro
phobia had no terrors for him. On Mon-
day last he began to show signs OF ra-
bies, and consulted physician. On
Wednesday he called at the hospital,
and when offered a glass of water he was
taken with a spssm. From that time
until he died his suffering was Intense.

A Few Thoughts From Freethnker Who
believes some OF our Text books
SnouId Not be Swallowed
Whole.
(By Franklin Ii. Heald.)


Presenting tnat our Students of the
Blades correspondence School are Free
thinkers and therefore not absolutely bound
TO any particular 1eXl-b book form of think
ing, l would be glad to make few sug-
gestiOns tor their consideration, before they
answer the questions in Astronomy, if it
is not presumlng TOO much.
Inc following, appears TO me TO be some
of The good reasons why there is a pro-
cession OF solid matter, in the solar system,
always on its way to, and falling into the
sun.
l. The planets move around the Sun,
which proves 10 me that they must be fail
ing. ii not falling, whot other POSSIBLE force
can compel tnem 10 move?
2. Inc mathematical ratio of the dis
tances OF the pianets from the sun, shows
mat they are gradually coming down and
gaining speed as they tall, winch increases
their cen ri1ugal force and thus checks their
approach, III regular ratio.
3. TAe ma nematcal ratio of the speed
with wnicn they ravei around the sun,
SHOWS tnat tnsy must be falling and tnal,
as they gam speed they also gain centrl-
fugal force, wnlch necessarily checks their
approach TO the sun in a regular ratio
4. The moons obey the same laws, in
falling to their respec i've planets with the
same mathematical precision, that the plan
cts obey In falling to the sun, both as to
speed and distance, showing conclusively
that hey are coming down again in an
orbit, as the gas went up, and the law OF
gravity governs their falling and centrifugal
force and not the chance and changing
mind OF any god or devil
5. The orbits of Enke's comet, Fay's
comet, Saturns rings , The moon and the
palnet Mercury, are now absolutely known
to be shortening their orbits, which is posi-
tive proof that all solid matter in the solar
system is gradually falling in an orbit to the
sun and gaining speed and centrifugal force
as 1t fails.
6. The eclipses IF the moon and sum- as
chronicled by the Chinese, thousands of
years before the Christ Yarn, are several
days different from what they should be

A Suggestion to Students
of Our School

Ii the MON nad then been i'll its present

I. There can De no DOUBT Ill the luInu
oil a treelninker IL seems 10 me, Inat Inc

ngules, but that measured time has over
tapped real time, as the earths orbit snort
years, new year > aay comes week later
tnan me real beginning o1 tie new year.
8. Inc sun is not losing its heat as last
as it should, II it were not led by the con
tinual falling matter.
.. The sunspos and great explosions Oh
the sun, show that solid matter is contin-
ualiy falling into it, and being quickly heat
ed into gas which occupies tens OF thou
sands OF times more space than when it
fell into the sun an instant before, making
greater heat which is force cheat, electric
ity, light, etc. and moves magnetic needles
at the earth, as soon as the impulse from
them reaches it eight minutes later.
10. wen celes ,ial body travels around
its center in an elliptical orbit, it gains
speed as it approaches its nearest (per-
heliOn) curve and loses speed at ii raises
again, or approaches its farthest (aphelion)
curve. This is more noticeable in The case
OF comets, because their orbits are more
elongated than the orbits OF any other ce.
lestial bodies which come under our obser-
walton.
IL. There is a belt of nebulous patches
at rig.iJ angles to the Milky Way, which
you perceive brings it ON the plane of the
suns equator lar beyond Neptunes orbit,
which are known to change their positions
and forms. This is the position in ;pace
which the Solar systems &C i've belt of mo.
ton should occupy. to condense the suns
gas back into crystals of intense cold ani
reform it into new worlds and moons. When
the expanded gas leaves the sun, it takes
The motion of an orbit, the speel of when
depends upon the speed of he parc of the
sun where 1t was thrown off. This speed
it may lose entirely, inasmuch as it is not
centrifugal force which throws it up, but
the force of expansion from the heat below
at the sun, thus retaining the motion OF
an orbit in the gathering mass of crystals
which are to finally form the next new
world.
In conclusion let me call your a tenton

RHYMES AND JINGLES.
Only Said to Result of Spirit Communication
From our Late Editor.
(By A. JOhnson.)


Old Solemn wise, was one OF the guys,
Who, living earth today,
Would be in the pen with bigamy men
For many long years to stay.
The story of god creating this sod
From nothing with which TO create,
Is air, tropic air, lie very bare,
AS all biologists state.
The story of Soul, somewhere in goal
Flying round with harp on its wings,
Is strange, pressing strange cant get the
range
OF these far away heavenly things
That old holy ghost, from the heavenly
coast
In bodily shape like a dove"
Was surely a peach to get within reach
OF virgin on earth with his love
And give us a child-"That sweet story"
wild
Handed down long the Christian times.
For fools 10 believe, and priests TO receive
All their dollars, nickels and dimes.
The sign of the cross" is sign of loss
In the mental make up of man
And a sign of our hate, I'll also relate
In rhyming the scriptural plan.
In reading his book the longer look,
The more disguised l am
With all of the rot that fools forge not
In the blood atonement plan.

Do You Want to Pau SIC Extra?

Under recent ruling of the
Post Office Department, which
went into effect January first, il
wlll cost fifLy-two cents year to
mail this paper to subscribers who
have not renewed their subscriptions
within one year. Hereafter it will
be necessary to add this amount TO
the regular subscription price when
paper renewals are delayed beyond
one year. This would nearly
double the subscription price of the
paper for the delinquent subscrip.
tions. To spare this extra expense
on your subscription, it will be
necessary to have a remittance at
once.
This will save the extra postage
expense for one year more. Please
do this at once, if you are in arrears
in your subscription.
