A LIVING EARTH.

SLOAN0 opAl1tS WIZ Cld4lI w Luu dll
the necessary elements OF being in the
realm of the ideal have been wont
to regard with scorn those of coarser
mold as "earthborn," signifying by
that term an order of humanity in
which the higher instincts are absent.
But these prideful mortals are not
themselves free from the ordinary
trammels however high they tilt their
noses, seeing that they eat and sleep,
marry and die, just like other people.
And now science comes to the
front with assertions of a nature cal
culated to crown what has been hith-
erto considered as mere matter with
a new interest. The old earth, so long
viewed as an inert mass. the passive
seed bed in which life terminates, yet
without life in itself, has been declar-
ed to present all the phenomena of a
living organism. Prof. John Milne,
the celebrated English seismologist,
has directed attention to the various
evidences presented. He finds that its
crust is continually vibrating, like the
skin of an animal. In the chalk pits
of his native country he has also dis
covered a 1aring luminosity, particu-
larry noticeable on damp nights,
which he considers to be the result
OF some form of radiant energy EN-
anating therefrom. These, together
with the healing powers of certain
springs, radium-charged or otherwise,
lend color to the theory that the earth
imparts vitality Of its own, as we'll
as responds to the impulses given
out from its ruling star, the sun.
There is nothing new in the
thought. Philosophers of old looked
upon the earth as a huge animal, the
most widespread of early systems
proclaiming that earth, air, fire, and
wafer were the four original ele-
ments, through which the spirit made
itself manifest. Nor does the Chris
tian economy forbid a parallel con-
clusion, since it is written that
through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of
God" This, too, is consistent with the
distractions of Schopenhauer, who re-
garded the universe as conceived Of
will and idea. The important differ
ence is, of course, that science has
gone the other way around, finding
in the earth itself the evidences Of it's
own living qualities.
The whole proposition is not with
out its fascinating features. Is the
earth a sentient being, or merely q
corpuscle floating through the veins
Of the universe, with the interstellar
spaces for its liquor sanguinis? Is
mar its consummate production, or
only the scurf Of its surface, removed
from time to time by famine and pes
thence, or combeG off by the blast OF
the hurricane? Does the planet bask
knowingly in the fervent rays of the
sun, and does it thrill with a nameless
longing with the pull Of the tides:
Are the flowers Of spring signs OF
the joys Of its awakening, after the
long sleep Of winter? Was the golden
age Of its inhabitants only another
name for the days of it's own youth
and will 1t one day grow old and per.
ish?
Life and death are twin mysteries
and the brief period between is spent
in the asking questions that are neve,
answered.

DESPONDENT N. D.
WOMAN SUICIDES

Stanton Republican: One Of the
saddest deaths we have been called
upon to chronicle IL that Of Mrs. Jos
eph Bolle Oh Nisbet, who died on We'd
nesday. July 2e, from the effects Of
carbolic acid. administered by her own
hand. The facts of the case are about
ais follows:
The deceased had been g constant
sufferer for years from gall stones and
other stomach trouble, and during the
past year had been in different hos
pitfalls receiving treatment and UNDER
going many operations, without appar-
entity getting much relief, and she had
been contemplating a trip to her Sis
ters home In Iowa there to receive
further expert treatment.
About o'clock Wednesday morning
she called to her two little children
who were playing in the yard and told
them to play in the house where It was
cooler. She then locked herself In the
granaxy and drank the carbolic acid
which she had In cup.
The husband upon his return about
noon found her, after searching some
time, but life was extinct. Poor
health had undoubtedly unbalanced
her mind and caused her to take her
own life. The remains were taken to
her old home Ia Iowa for interment.
She leaves two small children and a.
husband to mourn her departure.

RieYole Thievea Ruay.

Two bicycles were boldly stolen
from the front of the Hanson jewelry
store yesterday, one belonging to the
proprietor and one belonging to the
clerk. Reports Of the thefts were
made to Chief O'Laughlin and to the
police In Fargo. The police say that
it is a daily occurrence to hear OF
stolen bicycles. 1t is believed that
many of the losses are caused by har-
vest hands who deliberately ride the
wheels to point near their destina-
ton and then abandon them. The
tricks are generally so neatly turned
that 1t very difficult to establish
a conviction. In the event of any
convictions 1t is promised that the
courts are not likely to exercise leni-
ency. Otto and Albert Christianson
lost their wheels two weeks ago, taken
from their homes.
