CONSCIENCE VS.. ART

Thomas Nelson Page, in the smoking
room of the Baltic, contrasted the lit
erary and the scientific temperaments,
But a letter will best bring out my
point" said the famous author.
you've heard, of course, Of Tenny-
sons poem, The Vision of Sin" Well,
an eminent mathematician wrote to
Tennyson. on the appearance of his
poem, letter that ran like this:
Dear Sir: / 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" l 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 oquipoise, whereas it is an
established fact that the said popula-
tion is constantly on the increase. I
would therefore, suggest that in the
next edition of this poem the erroneous
calculation to which 1 refer should be
corrected as follows, every moment
dies a man, and one and a sixteenth is
born" I may add that the exact fig
ures are 1 167, but something must, of
course, be conceded to the laws of

GOSPEL AS INSURANCE
POLICY IS HIS THEME
DR.. GeisWeit breaches at Temple
Auditorium on Duty
and Destiny

"Is the gospel an insurance policy?
is 1t moral germicide? The gospel of
the Son of God seeks to draw you up
to make men and women of you-not
to go to heaven when you die, but to
be charged with heaven while you live,
here and now"
These were the expressions of Dr. w.
H. Geistweit last evening in an elo-
quent sermon at the Temple aud
itorium.
DR.. Geistweit, who has attracted
large congregations to hear his SER
mons at the Temple, took for his sub
ject "The Tug OF a Mighty Destiny"
He said in part:
"Some men are greatly concerned as
to where they came from; they are
greatly disturbed as to their anthro-
poedal ancestry. Did their fathers have
web feet or did they swing from the
boughs of trees? 1t is not a question
of origin-it is a question of destiny.
1t is George Eliot that tells us that the
three greatest words in the world s
vocabulary are God, duty destiny.
am talking to you about destiny, and
bound up in it is the thought of God
and of your duty. Gods great purpose
with men is not to stock heaven with
souls, but to stock souls with heaven.
He who only expects to go to heaven
when he dies will be disappointed with
heaven when he gets there"

SUBJECT is WHY MEN
SC0RN CHRISTIANITY
Dean MacCormaCk Says Much
Depends on Man in Pew

"why Do Men Scorn Christianity"
was the subject of a sermon by Very
Rev. Dean MacCormack at st. Pauls
pro-cathedral yesterday morning. Dean
MacCormack took his text from Acts
26:2S; with but little persuasion thou
wouldst fain make me a Christian"
He said:
These words were spoken by Agrip-
pa to Paul in a spirit of scorn. What
he meant to convey to the apostle was
that If he attempted to make Il Chris
tian of him he had undertaken a pretty
big contract. To me Agrippa is a type
of the multitudes of people today who
scorn and despise Christianity.
THE first reason that moved Agrip-
pa to despise the faith of Christ may
seem to some a very strange one. With
him and with all who are like him fa-
miliarity breeds contempt. Hundreds
of men and women come to the church
today, listen to the message and are
not influenced by these things.
People tell me that a great respon-
sibility rests upon those who are ad-
mitted to the sacred ministry, and l
feel this more and more as the years
go by. But a greater responsibility, in
my judgment, rests upon the man who
sits in the pew. Because of that Jesus
in one of his discourses said, Take
heed how ye hear

BURGLARS NIBBLE At
AWAKENED MANS SHOE
Staten islander Had Forgotten
Having Caught "MeSs
of Crabs"

NEW YORK, July 31.-Ralph For
rester of Chelsea, S. l., went grabbing
Wednesday, and when the days sport
was over was the proud possessor OF
twenty-five CruStaCeans.
Indeed so proud was Ralph that he
fingered on his way home to tell of
his proWess and to exhibit his captives
He fingered so long that Mrs Forester
was comfortably tucked in bed when
he arrived. Fearing possible reCrimi-
nations for his tardineSs, Ralph didn't
wake his better half, but placing the
crabs in a zinc wash boiler on the floor
Of the kitchen, he crept quietly into bed
without disturbing his wife.
About 2 O'Clock next morning Mrs
Forester awoke. Across the floor she
thought she heard the stealthy patter
of feet.
'"Ralph, wake up" she said, shaking
her slumbering spouse. There are
burglars in the house."
Rats! you're dreaming. Why can't
you let a fellow sleep?" sleepily an
swered Ralph.
Mrs. Forester listened some more
The wash boiler ratified, but she
imagined it was the family silver dis
appearing into the burglars bag.
Get up, say Ralph she said, in a
frightened whisper. "Listeni"
Ralph listened and was convinced
But the burglars should not take his
belongings without a struggle. So he
jumped out of bed
ouch! murder! police. he yelled.
Believing him attacked, Mrs. For
roster jumped to his assistance. And
ouch! murder! police! 1re!" she
yelled in chorus.
Ralph disentangled himself from his
assailants and then pried others away
from his wife.
Is it necessary to say that they were
the crabs which had escaped and which
Forester had forgotten entirely?

RIO GRANDE IRRIGATION
CANALS TO BE NAVIGABLE
Expect 100000 Acres Under
Cultivation by Next Spring

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, July 31.-If all
the plans laid can be carried into eff
feet the lower Rio Grande valley will
see at least 100000 acres of new land
under cultivation by next spring. Most
of this development will take place
along the river Immediately above
Brownsville, one concern operating in
Hidalgo county being responsible for
60 per cent of the whole With very
few exceptions the irrigation plants to
be established will be operated by
gravity, the main canal tapping the
river we'll up country.
The Rio Grando, like most other
rivers flowing through alluvial terri
tory has by means Of sedimentary de-
posits elevated its own bed above the
level of it's valley in many places and
this is being made use Of by the irri-
cation engineers. For some time it has
heen the policy Of the Rio Grande val
29y to dig the main and some secondary
canals of irrigation systems deep and
broad enough to have them accommO-
date small barges and gasoline tow
boats. This has proved a great sue
cess and now all gravity plans pro-
vide for this feature,
The irrigation systems taking care
of the acreage mentioned viii take
about 100000 acre feet Of water from
the river annually.

A Kansas editor makes a very hand
some apology in the following felcitous
terms:
"The Journal erred last week in stat
ing that Mrs. Lille Slack played Mar
cissus for the rose drill at the eighth
grade school commencement. Miss Mar
1orie Bright should have received that
credit. The playing was fully worthy
the fine musical talent of Mrs. Slack,

AIR CRAFT AND STORMS

In view of the Zeppelin disaster, how
do accounts now stand as between the
dirigible and the aeroplane? We may
imagine a heavier-than-ai machine
setting out under the same peaceful
weather conditions as the Deutschland
had, and overtaken by the same storm.
The gale might have Conceivably
wrecked the aerOplane, but, on the
other hand, the aeroplane might have
Just as conceivably made a landing in
the first open field that offered, or on
the first stretch of road. Let it be ad-
mitted that in the present stage Of
aeronautics neither the drigible nor
the aeroplane is capable of defyng
the storm, as the modern steamship
is. All the more reason why an air
craft should be able to reach earth
easily when ii cannot hold its own
against the wind. on this count the
advantage is immeasurably with the
aeroplane. For the Zeppelin purposes,
every German town would have to be
equipped with it's enormous balloon
shed and it's corps of hundreds Of
men to warp the ship into her dock
Our present mastery Of the air may be
compared with the art of navigation
when the PhoeniCian traders stole tim
orously from cove to cove on the Medi-
terranean; when it blew hard they re-
fused to leave port altogether.-New

Paul to be held shortly a delegation which
will ask that body to raise a fund of about
$500 to be used IN establishing here a
wholesale SUPPLY house. AS 1t is now the
men who actually do the work are hired
by the master plumbers, who bid on the
jobs and include in the bids their own
prices for supplies and sundry expenses
OF maintaining a shop. When the journey
men have their own wholesale house they
can bid directly for work and can get their
supplies cheaply The expenses Of maintain
ing a shop will be cut out of the bids they
offer and the consumer will be saved at
least a part of the difference.
The master plumbers are very scornful
in their consideration of the new scheme
and think 1t can never be carried out. If
1t ever does reach any sort of fulfillment
the public in general will get the benefit,
according to the plumbers.
