uhe seven Great Religious BODIES or
the World.
The population Of the earth at the
death Of the Emperor Augustus was
estimated at $4,000 900. Today 1t is
calculated that this globe has a popu-
lation Of 1908. $50, 900 Out of this vast
number Of more than billion and
half of human beings 1t is asserted that
all but an inf1nitesimal fraction of l
per cent believe in and worship III
some degree a supreme ruler of the
universe.
There are seven great religions in the
world. The Christian religion has the
greatest number of adherents, $50. OOO,-
600. or this number $50 600, 900 are
Catholics and 213,0OO,O00 Protestants.
These two great divisions are subdivid
ed into innumerable sects differing
from one another on some point of
dogma or church government. Next in
Importance comes the worship of an
cestors and Confucianism, whose fol
lowers are 2s3, 900, 600 in number. This
belief is confined almost exclusively to
the Chinese and Japanese. In India
there are 223,O00 900 Brahmans. This
form Of religion has decreased some
what during recent years, owing per-
hapS to the continual ravages of plague
and famine in that country. But it still
holds the third place among the seven
great religions. Brahmanism is hard
pressed. however, by the faith of Is

lowers of the doctrines of Mohammed.
The fifth on the list are the olytheists.

These, too, have their stronghold in
India. The smallest of the seven great
religions Of the world is Taoism, with
44,O0o.OO adherents in the Chinese en-
pire and in Tibet.
The next greatest religion, in point
Of numbers. to Taoism is the belief of
Japan. Shintoism. This has but 49,

now counts but half that number of
adherents. But. unlike the other great
religions, the followers of the teachings
of Moses are not conferred in any par
ticular country. but are scattered all
about the world. Compared with the
foregoing, the religions Of the Parsees,

PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE.
Mimicry of Color and Form Common
Among Insects.

Among Insects.
An official of the National museum
at Washington who has made many
trips abroad in the interest of that in
stitution states that in South Ameri-
can forests the butterflies and the birds
are equally brilliant in their colors. but
that the butterflies, being weaker, fall
a prey to the birds. One very bright
hued species of butterfly, however, IS
not disturbed by the birds on account
of the disagreeable odor that it emits.
Singularly enough. some other groups
Of butterflies, which resemble in color
the species just described, also escape
persecution by the birds. although they
emit no odor. 1t is evident that the
similarity of color deceives the birds,
and thus serves as a shield for the but
terfiies. This sort of mimicry of color
and form, which naturalists call pro
tactive resemblance" Is not very IN
common among insects.
Another form of protective resem-
blance" which exhibits much contriv-
ance and skill is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds hide their
eggs among stones that resemble the
eggs in form and color. The little bot
tie tit in England weaves a bottle
shaped nest out of moss, lichens and
spiders webs. and when placed in a
tree or bush the nest so closely resem-
bles its surroundings that it can hardly
be detected. The color and appearance
of the nest are limitations of the pre-
vailing color and appearance of the
particular tree in which ii is placed.

The Goldenes Kreuz Golden Cross

is the oldest hotel in Europe. King
Ferdinand l. halted at il on his way
to his coronation in 1881, and no other
hotel in Europe possesses records of
such great antiquity as the Golden
Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast OF
having had so many royal visitors as
have enjoyed its hospitality. The ex-
listing visitors books. which date from
1919, contain the names Of more than
500 imperial, royal and princely per-
sonages. The room is shown where in
1855 the late Prince Bismarck, at that
time Prussian premier, slept when he
came with his sovereign to hold the
conference which was the last attempt
to prevent war between Austria and
Prussia. The negotiations were held in
the small hall' OF the hotel. under
the presidency Of King William Of
Prussia. The host IS equally proud Of
the autographs of Schiller and other
men Of letters which he possesses.

What Napoleon Owed a Drummer Boy

To Andre Etienne Napoleon owed
debt he could never repay. Andre was
a drummer boy at the battle of Arcola
The canal at Arcola was Napoeon's
Rubicon. for there 1t was decided that
he and he alone should rise to unpar-
alleled power, the phenix bird from the
ashes of the terrible revolution But
he would not have won without Andre.
His troops were ragged, footsore and
half starved. The battle was going
against him. All seemed lost Sud
denly Andre leaped into the canal and.
holding his drum above his head, swan
across and on the other bank beat an
irresistible charge. The French SOL
diers rallied, and in a few moments
Napoleon's great victory was assured.
Thus by this lads heroism were the
fruits Of his genius brought within the
reach Of the worlds conqueror. for Ar
cola proved the turning point in his
glittering career.

GRAND OLD MAN
PRAISES WATSON
Timothy Nicholson Says He
Will Be Elected This Fall
BY Indiana Voters.
HE LIKES LOCAL OPTION.
SAYS If HE HAD HIS WAY HE
WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL OP-
TON FOR EVERY DISTRICT AND
BLOCK IN TOWN OR CITY.

Timothy Nicholson stated today, that
the temperance people all over the
state were perfectly satisfied with the
temperate plank placed III the republi-
can platform at the Indianapolis con-
ventiOn. Temperance workers in ev-
cry part of Indiana are also highly
pleased with the nomination of James
E. Watson for governor. Mr.. Watson s
views on the temperance question are
well known, and the temperance work.

him." stated Mr. Nicholson.
He also is confident that Mr. Watson
will be elected governor. In the event
that the republican party is victorious
in this state, Mr.. Nicholson states that
it is almost certain that saloons in ev-
cry county in the state, with the eX-
ceptiOns of the counties in which In.
dianapolis, Evansville FIT Wayne Ter
re Haute and South Bend are located
will be driven out of business.
The local option plan with the coun
ty as unit is stepping stone to a TO-
tai suppression of the sale of intoxi
eating liquors" stated Mr.. Nichol
son. In my opinion the enactment
of a local option law would be better
than the enactment of a law which
would suppress the sale of liquor all
over the state.
IF l had my way would provide 10
cal option for every rural district and
for every block in a town or city.

tain square did not favor the establish

should have the right to prevent its

The Word "Cnnteen."

A strange chronological history is
that possessed by the word "canteen''
which has caused so much talk in
temperance and army circles-if its orr
gin is correctly assigned to the old
Latin "quintana.' which literally means
of the fifth rank" or fifth in order"
The 'Quintana VIA" was a street in
the Roman camp SO called because it
came between the fifth maniple, or
company, and the sixth. Here all the
business and marketing of the camp
were done, and "quintana" eventually
came to mean a market. - Chicago

Bctzold Veteran.
Sergeant Behold entered the police
service in 1879 and was the Oldest
member on the force. Since that
time he has served continually on the
force with the exception of fifteen
months time. He served three unex-
pired terms as chief OF police. For
two years he was chief under Mayor
Moore. For eight months he was
chief under Mayor Rupe and after the
death of Chief Page he served as chief
until the appointment OF Chief German
who was succeeded by the present
chief. Jesse A. Bailey. Six years ago
Mr.. Behold was appointed night serg-
cant. AS he had nothing but desk
duty to perform he had no need of a
new uniform, he feels. The new sum-
mer uniform for the police is de-
scribed as short WASTED and button
ing up to the collar like a cadet
blouse. None of the new uniforms
will have pockets. A man of my age
would look nice in such a uniform.
wouldn't he?" Mr. Behold remarked.
Chief Bailey was asked this morning
to make a statement regarding the ac-
ton of Sergeant Behold in rendering
his resignation but he declined to say
anything. 1t is not known who Mr..
Betzold's successor will be.
