The Old Almanac.
tue Chicago Tribune.

From tue Chicago Tribune.
This is the time of year when almanacs
should flourish but those you buy in the
booksho are not the ones meant. The
almanacs' of today are books. encyclope-
dias of information on every topic that
an almanac buyer doesn't care for. They
contain every manner of political fact,
the census of towns you never heard Of,
the dynasties of the reigning families
AMI the worlds record of the running
high jump.
But where is the almanac which used
to hang by a red and white string from
nail in the Kitchen: the Old almanac
with the bilious cover and the illustra-
ton showing how a man hooks after he
has committed hari-kari; the almanac
with the marginal notes and the signs
of Gemini. Capricorn. Sagittarius and all
the other boys of the zodiac?
1t is we'll enough to know who made
the discord record in 1909 and who is rep
resentative from the eleventh Indiana
district but what we want to know is
when Is the best time to cut h0opholes
and what cures the pip. These things
can be found only in the old almanac,
and We don't know where to find one.

Corr. OF Lafcado Hearn. in the Atlantic.
The other night We had singular fes-
tival next door. A teacher of dancing
an old woman Of our neighborhood-
last year; and on the anniversary of her
death her Thai were placed on a platform
erected for the occasion next door, and
offerings set before it. Then all the little
girls she had taught-from four years up.
were brought to dance before the Thai to
please her spirit. The dainty little fairy
darlings. I went behind the scenes and
saw all the dressing. The children were
all faultlesS till the dance was over-but
then being tired they would cry little;
and their mothers would carry them
home-looking like wonderful dolls in
their tiny gorgeous kagura dresses. Sure
ly Japanese baby-girl is the sweetest
thing in all this world.
Beyond the other side of the garden
hear and see something much less pleas
ns-the training of little geisha. The
child is very young; but she is obliged to
sing nearly seven hours every day. i can
tell what time ii is by the tone of weari-
ness in her voice. Sometimes she breaks
down and cries to be let alone in vain.
They do not beat her-but she must sing.
Some day she will revenge herself on the
world for this-and ''sarve 1t right.

1t is reassuring that both Prof. Cham
berlin. sponsor Of the planetesimal theory
Of the creation. and Prof. Percival Low
ell. who scouts 1t, agree that the ex-
pected collision Of this planet with some
other star will not occur within about
billion of years. But DR.. Lowell thinks
the globe is gradually shrinking and
freezing. while DIR. Chamberlin is not
yet persuaded that the human race will
be extinguished in this frigid way. He
admits, in the latest issue of Science,
that Greenland. Spitzbergen and the 9TH
err arctic isles must once have been sub
tropically warm. But some millions OF
years ago mantles of Ice covered tropical
India, Australia, southern Africa and
South America, close to the present tor
rid zone. This was only half way back
In the record of life on the planet. which
leads DIR. Chamberlin to conclude that
the earth has not gradually cooled dur
ing the ages, but has, rather, submitted
to merely temporary localized intensfi-
cations of climate which life has re-
peatedly survived. Besides in all quar-
tiers of the globe there have been fewer
epochs of glaciation than of aridity
From such profound climatic alterna-
tons DR.. Chamberlin infers that there
have been concurrent variations in the
and otherwise the earth adds to the
constituents of the air, while the ocean
keeps Its gases in equilibrium: but the
principal changes come. probably, from
the interchanging molecular activities
of the terrestrial and solar atmospheres. ."
These are usually well balanced, never
theless geologic history shows that I'm
past aeons they have shifted over vast
areas. destr Dying races though not de-
stroying life.
Thus doomsday loses it's boisterous
terrors. Not by world confiagration
or the shock of colliding spheres. but

Of the quiet sort will come, If it ever
comes, the extinction of man on this
