WILL DEFEAT AGNOST|CS AIM
KNAPP COLUMNS IN KENOSHA
CEMETERY TO BE RAZED.
Surviving Relatives Opposed to the
inscriptions Deriding the
Christian rCl3ztrch.

KENOSHA. Wis, September 16-The
purpose Of Lewis Knapp, a late pioneer
resident Of Kenos4la, who erected a series
Of inscribed monuments in the Kenosha
city cemetery to hand down his derision
of the Christian church, will fail If. as
1t Is announced today, the eight monu-
ments that have stood in the cemetery
for more than thirty years will be taken
down and destroyed and the razing OF
them will be done in such a manner that
not one of the 10000 words Of inscriptions
on the metallic columns will remain.
For years Knapp worked on the COM
posing Of the agnostic inscriptions on the
monuments. and when they were COM
pleted they made up one of the most re-
markable arraignments of the Christian
religion known to history. Men have
come thousands Of miles to read and
copy the strange inscriptions, and it Is
declared that when they were sent to
a foundry to be cast upon monuments Of
metal which would Withstand fire as
we'll ds the natural effects Of the ele-
ments. the men working in the foundry
went on a strike because they feared
that the handling of such matter would
call down the wrath of God upon them.
The surviving relatives Of Knapp are
not In sympathy with many Of his beliefs
and they yesterday signed an agreement
that the monuments be taken out. broken
into small pieces and the debris either
buried or thrown into the lake.

DISPUTES THE SCIENTISTS.
No Evidence That Mars Is Inhabit-
ed, Says Prof. Campbell.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 49,
There is no single scrap Of evidence that
Mars Is inhabited. The so-called canals
and other markings 1 do not regard as
evidence of mans work. It Is possible
that specks looking like clouds have
been seen at widely separated periods,
perhaps months apart. but they are not
clouds"
In these words Director Campbell, of
Lick observatory in an interview dis
puted the assertions of various scientists
that observations of Mars indicate that
it is peopled is our earth.
Prof. Campbell contends that the
famous canals Of Schiaparelli are not hand
iwork: that there is no Marian cloud
system; that little. II any. watery vapor
exists around Mars, and that the exist
ence of polar caps does not prove the
presence of water on Mars.
II need only say concluded Prof.
Campbell, that an observer outside of
the earth looking down would see sea-
sonal changes quite as we'll before the
advent of man as after.

MAKE STUDY OF
BABIES AND MILK

germs.
Nowadays every city that lays
claim TO being civilized has a milk
commission, or a board Of health that
attempts at least to regulate the
dairies of the community.
one scientist recently took a cen
sus of the germs in one cubic cent?
meter-less than a tLimbleful-of
milk. He found that there were few
bugs" when the mercury was low,
and that great hordes were present
at higher temporal res. In one cubic
centimeter of fresh milk he counted
300 bacteria. TWenty-four hours la
ter. when he examined this same
milk. which had. in the meantime
been kept at temperature of 90 de-
Grees. he found 10000 bacteria. An
other cubic centimeter of milk was
kept for twenty four hours at the
temperature Of the room, and yielded
10. 100000 bacteria. FigIre out how
many thimblefuis there are in a quart
of milk. and an idea may be gained
as to the number o. germs the ulti-
mate consumer gets.
Several cities fix q standard of the
number of bacteria permissible in
milk: in New York. the milk commis-
sioners who supervise the milk intend
ed for babies have placed the limit at
10 600
Since 80 per cent of all the deaths
Of babies under one year of age are
due to CASTRO erteric diseases, most
ly attributable to impure milk, the
question of a standard of purity of the
food is considered most desirable.
Much has been accomplished by the
establishment of municipal milk de-
pots in several cities In Rochester, \.
