Robert c.. Dunn of Princeton dis

The Barbarous Suffice.

Suffice, or the practice of immolat-
ing widows on their husbands funeral
pyres in India, was first attacked by
the British government in 1922. 1t
was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord
William Bentinck carried a resolution
in council by which all who abetted
suffice were declared guilty Of 'culpa-
BILE homicide" In the year 1917 700
widows were burned alive in Bengal
alone, but since the passing of the act
the practice has entirely died out
Suffice was really primitive rite, a
survival from barbarous times, and
not sanctioned by Hindooism, the pas
sage in the Vedas supporting it being
4 willful mistranslation. But no pre-
5vious governor had the courage to VIC
late the British tradition of religious
federation. Lord William Bentinck
also suppressed thuggism, which made
strangling a religious rite to the god

"And that reminds me: Have any
OF you seen mistake in the Twin City
papers about Northern Minnesota? 1
should assume you had. When you
did see it what did you do about it?
Did you stop to think that newspapers
are striving for facts and nothing but
the facts, and that they are just as
anxious not to make mistakes as you,
and that they are just as anxious to
correct them as you are-unless you
take club to the editor, and then he
won't correct anything. An editor
can't be forced to do anything, but he
can be coaxed like girl. You all
know about the editor that wrote up
the battle Scared veteran, and the
printer made it battle scared The
veteran went around next day and
made a. complaint in a gentlemanly
way and the editor Immediately cor
rected it, but the printer made an
other mistake and set it bottle
Scared Then the veteran took a
club to the editor and the editor
wouldn't correct letter. He said he'd
rather resign than take chances of
making another mistake. He didn't
stop running till the veteran got out
of breath.
''That story is proof of what I say,
that you can always get a correction.
And now, the next time that mistake
is made, sit down and write a letter
to the editor, pointing out the error.
Make itfshort; don't call any names;
assume that the mistake was uninten-
tional, which is true in ninety-nine out
of a hundred cases, and I'll guarantee
that the correction will be printed.
Do this; don't let anybody get away

These bathoIites turk deep in the

Generally they issue in the form of
tremendous domes of hot rock. tower

many cooled bat hotties on various

says that the consolidated crust of the

Suess describes the rock about Boul-

which covers 5000 square kilometers
of surface. But there are others still
more prodigious in extent.
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level. but
near Elkhorn the old batholite vet
towers up to an elevation of 5000 feet

THE MASTER SUN.
Sirius, the Dog Star, May Be the Gen.
ter st Attraction.

ter ct Attraction.
Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe revolved around
q center of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone, in the group of the
Pleiades, was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center.
1t has long been known, however,
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect, and if any uni
versal center exists it has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many of the stars
seem to be moving in straight lines,
some In one direction and some in an
other, and among these is our own
sun. But it is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving in curved lines.
In the meantime it has been found
that there are certain groups or sets
Of stars which appear to travel togeth-
er. To what set, If any, the sun be-
longs we do not yet know, but De-
launey has presented reasons for
thinking that those stars whose dis
tances have been measured Chat is to
say, those which are nearest to us)
group themselves around Sirius, the
dog star, in a manner similar to that
In which the inner planets are group
ed around the sun.
If this be correct Sirius may posi-
bly, be the master sun Of which our

STANDS UP FOR THE
CUT OVER LANDS.

Professor MCGUIRE, superintendent
of the experimental farm at Grand
Rapids, said that the country prod
ucts are becoming SO scarce in pro-
portion to the population that the poor
in the cities are right at the hunger
line. The high cost Of living, he said,
might be due to the scarcity Of farm
ers, because so many had gone to the
cities, and it might be due to lack of
education and skill in producing the
most from the lands. It certainly is
not due to the lack of land, he said.
