Conscience Versus Art.

Shortly after Tennyson's poem 'The
Vision of Sin" appeared an eminent
mathematician sent the poet letter
that ran like this:
Dear Sir-l find in a recent poem of
yours, entitled The Vision of Sin,
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies man, and every
moment one is born / need hardly
point out that this calculation. if cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
of the worlds population in state of
perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an
established fact that the said popula-
ton is constantly on the increase. l
would therefore suggest that in the
next edition of this poem the erroneous
calculation to which l refer should be
corrected as follows: Every moment
dies a man, and one and sixteenth is
born l may add that the exact fig
ures are 1.167, but something must OF
course, be conceded to the laws OF
rhythm"

tapping below his window. Harker
slipped out of his covers and cautious

'What's wanted?" he demanded, his
teeth chattering.
Il just wanted to tell you," came a
muff1ed voice. ''that there's a hand
moving around just inside your cellar
window"
With visions Of burglars Harker
picked up his revolver and slipped
through the halls in his pajamas.
Cautiously he searched the cellar with
a lighted candle, but it was empty.
Outside on the sidewalk stood the
stranger

A Town In tn. Philippines.

Santo Domingo has population Of
about 1900 and is entirely different
from any other town In the Philip
pines. In the first place, all the build
ings are of stone, whitewashed. The
roofs are made of cogon grass. closely
trimmed SO as to afford no purchase
to the severe typhoons which sweep
over the islands. The streets are about
twelve feet wide. many of them paved
with stone. Some: walls extend along
both sides of the streets their full
length. giving them the appearance Of
lanes. The walls are about three to
five feet in height. broken at intervals
for entrance to the yards. which in
turn are separated from each other by
stone walls Most of the yards are
