The Jewish New Year.

In striking opposition to the spirit Of
joy ana happiness which pcrvades
Christcndom generally is the New
Year of the Jews. With the Jews,
who also observe the New Year for
two days, the days are not days of
fcastlng and enjoyment, but days Of
Judgment. According to the belief OF
every orthodox jew, every member Of
the Jewish race is tried on the New
Year The books kept in heaven are
opened on that day. The record of each
man for the year just ending is looked
through and taken under adviscment
for ten days. On the tenth day, the
day of atonement,' the fate of each
man for the coming year is drawn up,
whether he should live or die, prosper
or be poor. On the day of atonement
the fate is sealed and nothing can
change it any mOre.-Chicago Tribune.

AzTECS' HORRIBLE HOLIDAY.
They Celebrated the New Year With
Human Sacrifices.

neJ SSlSDI dttI INC iSS" Se' w wv
Human Sacrifices.
The bloody and complicated ritual of
the AZtccS COMMUNICATED the return OF
their maSterful war god, the sun, from
the south, and the ceremonies carried
on in his honor occupied a period of
several days. The Initintory rites be
gan before daylight of tn" first morn
ing. when the chief priest and his sub
dignitaricS Wended their way in sol
emn procession to the top of their
greatest pyramidal sanctuary. Here
the high priest retired alone to small
temple, whose doorway opened toward
the east, and as the rising sun crimson
ed and purplcd the scrratcd mountains
he kuclt and SprinkIcd thiclily upon
the marble floor the sacred meal.
As the first rays of the newborn sun
strike slantingy across the floor of the
tiny temple the bcnded priest beholdS
a miracle. Faintly at first, then strong
er and stronger, grows an imprint In
the meal of the naked foot of their war
god. Upon this miraculous manifesta-
tion the high priest announces to the
assembled couliers that their god has
returned to them and that the grand
feStal occasion is inaugurated
Unhappily the first feast rites were
of Il GreWSomc and horrible nature,
consisting mainly III sacrificing youths

fcasted for days previous to the ccre-

While the observance of the new

England ContemplateS Adopt
ing 1876 Inch Guns for Arm
ing Her New DreadnaughtS

London, July 15.-English naval
experts are at war today over the
desirability of arming the four pro
vislonal'" Dreadnaughts in this years
battleship-b program with 3. 8
inch guns.
From both mechanical and financial
standpoints, the question Is most SER
ious. As mechanical proposition,
the advocates of the new calibre or
dnance maintain that a 1876 inch bore
will be so much more effective than
a 12-inch as to give England once
more, the enormous naval lead It
used to possess over all sea-powers.
but partly lost through the econo-
mics of the present national admins
tration.
Opponents of the change hold, how
ever, that the advantage that the
1876, 120-pound shells possess over
12-lnch, S5-pound shell Is discounted
by the loss in rapidity of fire. There
Is limit to effective weight. they
argue, and the record of the 6-inch
gun is cited In support of this CON
tention. or II calibre, IL Is conceded
on all sides that the 6-inch weapon
was one of the best ever produced
It threw l00-pound projectiles at the
rate OF eight or even ten a minute.
When gunnery experts undertook TO
double this weight, howevr, and pro-
duced 10 and S-inch guns for the pur-
pose, the rapidity of fire was reduced
by nearly half. The larger weapons
have now, as a result, been entirely
abandoned, the 6-inch gun remaining
alone In the field.
Supporters of the 13.5-inch can
non have an answer to this argument.
At short range, they own, one big
gun IS about as good as another, bur
they contend that at 10000 yards
and over, calibre and weight must
tell and that future naval battles
will be almost altogether al long
range, because torpedoeing has be-
come such an easy matter as to reu-
der lighting, except from a long dis
tanCc, an impossibili'y. Though iII
may take twice as long To load I '3.j
as l2-inch gun, which can be fred
at the rate Of about one round a
minute, IL Is maintained, therefore,
that the former Is the more service
able weapon.
officials of the admiralty dlstin-
guished from outside gunnery eN-
perts are understood to believe I'm
the l3.5-inch guns are nevertheless
doubtful OF adopting them on the
ground purely of economy. The first
Dreadnaught Is realized now TO have
been the most expensive naval de-
parture ever undertaken In England,
not alone because the type OF ship Is
enormously costly but because Il rem
dered an previous types practically
obsolete. II is feared that the super
Dreadnaughts, II as successful as
their supporters claim, will prove, In
the same way, even more expensive
than their predecessors
