1I,e Festival Chorus.

The festival chorus had a good re- hearsal last night, but owing to the drop in temperature the attendance was not quite as large as usual.
 Prof. Fred l.. Grambs, the chorus di- rector. has called a rehearsal for tenors and passes for tomorrow night and he urges every male member of the chorus to be present. He says the men need extra practice in order to catch up with the ladies. The rehearsal for the male section will be held at the Jesse French piano store. There will be a full re- hearsal on Friday night at Cable hall.

He said the conference was sup fact long before it had consummated its work the details had fallen into the hands of the railroad men.
 Discussing the merits of the measure after it again had reached the hands of the President MT. Cummins declared 1t had been vastly changed. Indeed" he declared, but for the birthmark of the commerce court, no one would recognize the measure that was born in the dog days up there in New York"
 These changes he attributed to the in- fiuence of the railroad men which had been brought upon the President and At torney General before Il, when the bill was presented to the chairman of the commerce eouft He stated that from that time the measure had been turned over to the President until it left him early in the fall many members had visit ed Washington and had been heard by the President in secret, and by the Attorney General, many of them twice.

THE SEA AND THE

(By Garrett p. ~Servissl
When one looks up at the heavens
on clear night and sees the aston
ishing multitude Of the stars-all of
them other suns than ours-one can
not help falling into profound medi-
tation on the question: Under which
If any, of those stars are things done
like the things that are done In the
light of the particular star which we
call the sun? Among the millions of
stars that we see with the naked eye
and telescopes there is room for hun
dreds of millions of inhabited
worlds; but do such worlds exist,
and, if they exist, are there inhabi-
tants like us in body and in mind?
Does the radiation of Vega. for in

races of beings as intelligent as the
descendants of Adam-raees lnspir-
ed with love and hate. making war
upon one another, founding empires,
building cities, developing civiliza-
lions, inventing arts and trusting in
an Overseeing Providence? And is
the whole glittering universe around
us filed with such things; is life as
universal as light?
We usually answer such questions
as we answer the question of the
Immortality of the soul, and We say:
I cannot prove that 1t is SO, but
have a feeling that it must be-"
IL our answer is in the negative,
we do violence to an Unborn sense
which tells us that the vast uni
verse cannot be a mere desert de-
priyed of the crown OF things, which
is life, except in the single infinItes-
imal oasis where We happen to live,
But We cannot be satisfied with a
mere 'glittering generality" on
subject of such supreme interest. and
we look to astronomy to furnish us
with proofs of the righteousness of
our instinct. Unfortunately these
proofs can only be based on analogy;
they cannot be direct. We cannot
see the worlds supposed to be re-
yolVing in the light of those distant
suns, much less can We see the in
habitants or their works. But we
welcome every new analogy which
tends to strengthen our instructive
belief. and a new analogy of that
kind has just been pointed out by
distinguished French astronomer. NJ.
Deslandres. of the Paris observatory.
He has found his analogy where few
would have thought of looking for 1t

oceanography comes to the cid OF as

and extend its conception Of life in

MAY FLOAT OYSTERS.

What seems to be compromise
ruling, and one that can be easily
evaded, is decision issued Monday by
the U. 5. Department of Agriculture.
Ii was announced that the floating of
oysters would be permitted by the de-
partment if the water in which the
floating was done was of the same
saline content as the water in which
the oysters were grown.
According to the testimony given at
the hearing of the oyster shippers at
the department some time ago. this
will not plump up the oyster and make
It stay fat, as in the case when il is
fioated in fresh water.
The department ruled that il oysters
for interstate shipment are given a
drink of fresh water, they must be
marked on, the container ''fioated
oysters. " If they are floated in water
that is polluted, they will be considered
adulterated within the, meaning of the
pure food law. All this initiates
against the sale of oysters from Vir-
ginia. We do no floating here. vet il
VIII continue to put in active compe-
tition with the favored Chesapeake
oysters the oysters of the north that
may be in poor condition but brought
up by floating.
