Immortality a Scientific Fact.

Wholly apart from the religious as
poets Of the problem of mans future
existence, DR.. Carl E. Guile, profess
sor Of physics in the University of
Michigan, discusses the possibility OF
life after death.
And the conclusion at VIII, Il the
matter Of fact man Of science arrives
is that the soul is immortal. Says he:
Our life is a constant growth of
the human intellect, closely connected
with the development Of the body.
But we know that there is a continu-
GUS interchange of cells, decaying and
forming, and yet, though the living
tissues may in the course Of time be
entirely renewed, the individual con-
tinues to exist; it remains one and the
same. But even the matter and en-
ergy which have been given off from
the living body have not disappeared: !:
they are still in existence, tho discon-
nected from the life-giving principle.
Should we not demand that there
should be a similar conservation for
the invisible part of our life? I have
not the power to describe what the
life after death is; the intellect will
not tell us.
while I have to content myself
with the assertion that mind is as in
destructible as matter and energy, my
firm belief in evolution and in an or
derly plan of the universe leads me 20
doubt that there can be any retro
gression in it's development. I believe
my spirit will after death be more ad-
vanced in all the characteristics of
the human soul.
And thus 1 find no difficulty what
ever in believing in a personality en-
bracing the whole universe and inti-
mately blended with the marvelously
intricate system of material bodies, a
personality different from ours, it is
true, but, since 1 form a part Of it,
one of the same nature as my own,
only grander, wiser, more powerful
and more just.
I'm conclusion, let me say that the
views here advanced were not obtain
ed by adherence to any theological or
philosophical dogma, but were the
result of a purely scientific search af-
ter word picture which would salts
fy not only the intellect but the hu-
man SOUL"

LIBEL CASE TO BE APPEALED.
government to Push Suit Against the
New York World.

washington, Feb. 25.-Reaching
the conclusion that it is desirable, the
questions involved be brought before
the court of last resort, the cabinet
today reached an agreement that an
appeal should be taken by the de-
partment of justice from the decision
of Judge Hough, in the Circuit Court
IN New York, in quashing, for want
Of jurisdiction, the indictment against
the Press Publishing Company, (Ncw
York World,) on the charge of libel
in connection with purchases of PAN
anna Canal property.
Following this action, Attorney
General Wickersham telegraphed to
District Attorney Wise, at New York
City, to note an appeal. 1t was just
in time for today was the last on
which the government might avail it.

The government all along has felt
that an important issue was involved
IN the oeclSlon OF Judge Hough in it's
effect on the enforcement of State
penal laws in localities under Federal
jurisdiction, this is the real and only
point in which the government de-
sires the opinion of the highest court
in the land. Irrespective Of it's effect
in the present instance, Mr.. Wicker
sham said it might be far-reaching in
other cases coming before the courts.
The Supreme Court, without doubt,
will be asked to advance the case for
hearing, as both the government and,
it is understood, the parties in inter-

JEWS REGAINING PALESTINE.
Practical Progress of Zionists i'm Fe.
cent Years.

Dispatches from Jerusalem, says
a London letter to the New York
Sun, tell Of remarkable strides made
during the last few years in the re-
peopling Of Palestine with Jews. The
proclamation of the constitution in
Turkey threw open the doors Of Pal
estine and led to an enormous influx
of Jewish colonists, who are already
settled on some of the best lands of
the country.
In Jerusalem alone four-fifths of
the population now belongs to the
Jewish faith. Large tracts of land
around Lake Tiberias have been
bought up from poor natives and
converted into prosperous farms. The
Plain Of Sharon, between Jaffa and
LYDIA, is one vast garden owned and
tended by Jewish skill and labor. The
Hauran, one Of the most fertile wheat
districts in the world, is being sold to
Jewish syndicates.
Almost the whole of the extensive
Plain of Esdraelon has been bought
up by Jews. Their prosperous colo
MES spread from Dan to Beersheb ba,
and even further south to the out
skirts of Egypt. Thousands are es-
Gaping from Persia to find shelter
and protection in the Holy Land,
while every ship from Odessa carries
some OF them.
The Jordan Valley, once the prop
erty Of the ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid
is being eagerly sought after by Jew
ish capitalists. The Zionists, whose
agents are distributed all over the
land, are buying up the rich proper
ties Of the Mohammedan effendis,
whose incomes since the revolution
have lessened.
At Jaga, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa
Mount CarmeD Jews are reckoned
by tens Of thousands. Towns like
Ramoth -Gilead. Bethlehem, Ma
zareth and GAIA, where a few years
ago no Jew dared show his face. have
now their Jewish quarters and syna-
gogues.
The whole city of Jerusalem is es-
sentially a Jewish town. Banking as
well as trade and commerce is mon

Hundreds OF thousands OF pounds
are annually sent from Europe and
America to enable the cOlonists to

invalid homes. Over one hundred
Jewish schools already exist In Jeru-
