Another Great Peak.

During his recent expedition in the
Himalayas DR.. L. G. Longstaff discov-
cred a new chain of the Karakoram
range, containing group of immense
peaks, one of which, Teram Kangri,
situated in about latitude 80 degrees
80 minutes, longitude n degrees, rises,
according to his measurements, to the
stupendous elevation of 27,610 feet.
Only Mount Everest, Kinchinjunga,
K2 and Makalu are known TO have a
greater height than this. The newly
discovered peak is said to be the cul-
minating point of a totally distinct
massif, which has hitherto appeared
on no map. DR.. Longstaff has also dis
covered that the Siachen (Saichar) gla-
cier is the longest in the Himalayas
and probably the largest outside Alas
ka and the polar regions. Its length is
more than forty-four miles.

Fish That is Fearless.

The boldness of a pike is very ex-
traordinary. | have seen one follow
bait within a foot OF me spot where
have been standing, and the head
keeper of Richmond Park assured me
that he was once washing his hand at
the side of a boat in the great pond
IN that park when a pike made a dart
at /. and he had but just time to with
draw it.
A gentleman now residing at Wey-
bridge in Surrey informed me that
walking one day by the side of the
River Rey. near that town, he saw a
large pike in a shallow creek. He i'm
mediately pulled off his coat, tucked
up his shirt sleeves and went into the
water to intercept the return of the
fish to the river and to endeavor to
throw it upon the bank by getting his
hands under it.
During this attempt the pike. find
ing he could not make his escape,
seized one of the arms of the gentle
man and lacerated it so much that the
wound is still very visible.

SLUMP IN PRICES.
Wheat, Corn and Pork All
Show Decline.
COST OF LIVING MAY BE LESS.
Belief That the Tide Of Speculative
Imitation Which Has Swept the
Country Has Reached Its
Maximum,

Chicago. April 19.-Wheat has drop
ped 2h cents in the last twenty-four
hours. selling at S1O5ia for May. This
is smash of 9 to 10l2 cents from the
high point of about month ago. when
prices were the highest Of the season.
Corn. which has been ON the down
grade for two months, is selling at
561b cents for May. loss of II cents
from the high point in January. Oats
have declined cents in the same time.
1t is said that the vast tide of specu-
lative imitation which has swept the
country for the last three years has
reached it's maximum and that a lower
level for all values is in order. and
possibly there will be decrease in the
cost of living if the retailers who eX-
act excessive margins of profit can he
forced to work for less.
The Patton interest in the market is
confined solely to September, which is
a new crop future He is short 1000
600 bushels Of corn. and his followers
in all have 100000 bushels sold re-
Gently part Of which has been bought
in at profit. Patterns profits in corn
cannot be estimated, but they are more
than enough to take care Of any losses
in wheat or cotton.
1t is the talk of the board of trade
that there has been a killing of sew
eral million dollars made by Adolph j.
Lichstern, who is one of the largest
spectators in the trade. He was short
100000 bushels May wheat and has
procured Il big profit on if. He also
had a big line of short corn out and
has been covering it for week, some
of which is said to pay 10 cents profit.
1t is the first killing in corn that he
has had III two years. There is corn to
burn in Chicago, more than IL 100000
bushels, the largest stock in years.
Hog meat is the cheapest in months,
there having been a sensational drop
in prices of S615 a barrel in May pork,
21a cents a pound in lard and short
ribs within about thirty days.
Michael and John Cudahy have been
big winners on the advance and de-
cline in provision prices, their profits
being well up in the millions. They
caught the market at low level and
went out AT the top, taking the short
side. The country spectators, who bet
on the scarcity of hogs making high
prices for flogs and cured product
making high prices all spring and sum-
mer, have been enormous losers. The
other big pa kers have been right on
the down turn, but were kept guessing
oh hn IL or oil IN a
must sustain the market, as pork has
dropped about 81 barrel inside of ten
days.

An accident to a fellow player was
the cause of Larry Cheney of the Gin
ciDnati Nationals becoming a pitcher
Larry broke into baseball when a kid
as a first baseman and catcher, but
one day, when the pitcher of his team
at Bellville, Kan, was injured early in
game, he went into the box and
made good showing He had moth
ing but speed and became a winner al
most Immediately.
Cheneys professional career began
in Topeka in 1906 He played with
that club about half Of that season
and was then sent back TO Bartletts-
vile. In 1907 ne was secured by the
Chicago White Sox; but, as the SoX
had won the worlds championship
the year before, he was not looked
over very carefully.
Last year he pitched for the Indian
apolis club of the American associa-
ton and made as good a record as
any pitcher in the league. The first
game he pitched after recovering from
the injury which kept him out of the
game for a long time was a one hit
battle, the lone hit being made of
him in the tenth inning.

olvmnic Games In Sweden.

Much interest is being taken through
out Sweden in the Olympic games,
which are to be revived in Stockholm
two years hence, in the month of June.
The general arrangements for the
meeting have already been made by
the international Olympic committee,
Of which Baron Pierre de Coubertin of
Paris is the pioneer and president, and
the Swedish Olympic committee, of
which the crown prince is honorary
president. Colonel Black, chairman,
and Kristan Hellstrom, secretary, have
nearly completed arrangements for
certain games and races.
The great event will be the Marathon
race over course of forty and two
tenths kilometers. The Swedes will
enlarge the Greek pentathlOn to what
is termed the "tiokamp," with ten con-
tests, comprising running, hurdle rae
ing, discus and javelin throwing, put
ting the shot and jumping. The meet
ing will be drawn up with the leading
idea Of preserving the ancient Greek
model, and the events associated with
the British lympic-motorboat rae
ing, lawn tennis and archery-wili
therefore be eliminated. The awards
will be made on the point system, SO
that the competitors of the highest av-
erage merit in all the events will win.

Darwin's Religion.

Darwin came of Unitarian stock,
and was never much of a believer in
theological systems. In reply to a
question that had been put to him in
a letter he wrote over his own sigma
ture: Il do not believe that any
revelation has ever been made" Upon
the questions of God and the future
life he was an out-and-out agnostic,
claiming that they were matters that
had never been settled and concerning
which he had no right to make any
statement. He never once denied the
existence of personal God or a future
for men after death, but contented
himself with saying, 81 know nothing
about them one way or the other"

MORE TAINTED MONEY.
~ Charity Won't Accept, Where, Then,
Must IL Coz

A Chicago charity has refused to
accept legacy from a murderess on
the ground that IL is tainted money"
All tainted money" has TO go some
where. Why isn't charity the best
use to which II can be put?
Much cheap reputation has been
gained by different institutions by de-
clining to receive tainted money"
But there is a great deal of cant about
the whole business.
II might be well enough to let
tainted money" alone if nobody else
would touch it, But somebody is
sure to get it. The "taint" follows the
money. These refusals look too much
like willingness to avoid contamina-
tion yourself while you rest serene in
the consciousness that your brother
is going to be polluted. That is not
Christianity.

The only hospitals in antiquity
were for slaves and soldiers. The
rise of hospitals is wrapped in mys-
terry, but beyond a doubt they are the
product of Christian teaching. 1t is
pretty certain that hospitals arose
out of the early homes for travellers
and the poor. The institution is clear
ly of Eastern origin. About 80 A. D.
Basilius founded the famous hospital
Caesarea. St Augustine speaks of
hospitals as being quite new in his
day In 49S-514 Pope Symmachus
built three in Rome. In the sixth cen
tury there was a very large one in
Lyons In fact, about this time they
appear all over the pale of Christeu-
dom.
