EDUCATION OF THE FEEr,-Prof,
c. A. Elwood, in the chair OF Sociol.
ogy of the University of Missouri
in o recent address to the Presby.
terian church said: AS an adver-
tisement for higher education foot.
ball contests rank with prize-fgl,ts
and other debaucheries. AS con-
Quoted, football is not a game, but
a fight. 1t appeals to the brutal,
the pugilistic in human nature. II
stirs the old spirit, manifested in
human nature, which finds in q de-
veloped sense, the disposition to
MAIN and kill. Injuries to contest
ants, sometimes ending fatally, he
declares, are of secondary import
ance to the evil effects upon the
morals of both players and specta-
tors.

OvERsEER OF THE APOSTOLIC
CHURCH. Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
the successor of Alexander Dowie,
has this to say of congregational
church government: THE preacher
should be the boss. | intend TO be
the boss of my church. The candi-
dating of ministers resembles the
horse show at county fair. The
candidates are all curried and combed
and undergo criticism and inspec-
tior, just as the horses do, and all
for the sake OF congregational APP
proval. They are ministerial Jump
ing jacks. " He pleaded for tolerance
and observation-disclosures in the church.
Every person, he said, Should be
free to eat and drink whatever he
chooses, so long as it does not iniure
himself or neighbor. Freedom of in
dlvidual action should be respected
by the church."

Ruined City Of Costa Rica.

\ large part of Cortego. Costa Rica,
was destroyed by a severe shock
of earthquake. Wednesday night.
Many buildings were leveled, in
Guiding Carnegie's Palace of Justice.
1t is said that at least 500 lives have
been sacrificed in the ruins.
Costa Rica is a republic in the
southeast part of Central America,
and occupies the entire breadth.
from sea to sea, between Nicaragua on
one side and Colombia on the other.
Cortego was the old capital of Costa
Rica, founded by the Spanish, and
bore the marks of it's former glory in
many beautifully carved finishings of
doOrways and solid stone arches Of
the homes of that time. 1t main
tanned an aristOcracy Of its own,
proud of all their ancient lineage
and conservative in perpetuating
traditions. The origin of the mag
niticent Court of Justice building is
as follows:
About two years ago there met in
Washington a delegation from the
five Central American republics. and
the outcome of their deliberations
was decision, among other impOr-
tant matters which came before them,
to establish a Central 4 merican court
of justice. This court was to become
the mouth piece of the unique organ
ization founded to pass judgment on
international questions arising be-
tween these republics. The court
was organized, and its sessions be-
gan May %. 1903, but no place quite
suitable to its dignity or representa-
tive of its purpose was at hand in
Cortego, the place selected for its
meetings. Then it was that Andrew
Carnegie showed his true enthusiasm
for his propaganda of general peace
by donating funds for the building
of permanent court.
While earthquakes are very fire.
quent in this little republic they
are seldom violent, and the vibra-
tions are rarely felt at any great
distance from the base of the vol
canoes. But at the end of the
year 1888 several severe shocks, coin
Gliding with the discharges of mud
and water from Poas and Irazu,
damaged the buildings of the neigh
boring towns and overthrow some
villages. A comparative study OF
the local seismic phenomena and of
the rainfall during seventeen con-
secutive years has led to the conclu-
sion that the return Of igneous activ-
lily and of underground disturbances
is direct consequence of the cavern
Gus recess under the volcanoes.
