Greatest Gathering of Its
Kind that Has Ever
Assembled in
Any City.

Probably the greatest gathering Of sa-
ESnts ever assembled in conclave in the
United States will convene tomorrow,
when the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science and its thirty
affiliated societies opens its siXty-third
annual convention
There are now about 5000 members of
the association, and practically all Of
them belong to one or more Of the afili-
ated societies. All of them have meet
ings during the gathering in Washington,
and as there will be between 1000 and
1900 members here, all the halls of the
city will be we'll taxed TO hold the various
meetings.
Solid Science Week.
All OF the big hotels have had their
banquet and assembly rooms engaged,
and the National Museum, the Carnegie
Institution. the National Geographic So
ciety, and the Business High School have
all agreed to hold their quota. Most of
the meetings will be of a strictly tech
nical sort, and the members who are
interested in special lines of research
work will have an opportunity to hear
the latest that has been done in any
line, either by the man who did it or by
some other scientist thoroughly familiar
with his work.
This will be the sixty-third meeting Of
the association and the tenth of the con-

JEWS AS FARMERS.
Increasing Number Turn Their At
tentiOn to Agricultural Pursuits.

Increasing Number Turn Their At
tention to Agricultural Pursuits.
From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The average citizen will be surprised
at the announcement that the Fedora
ton of Jewish Farmers of America has
Just been holding a session in New
York City, discussing plans Of encour-
aging members Of their race to turn to
agricultural pursuits on a larger scale.
Definite figures as to the membership
of the federation are not available, but
it is said to run into thousands, and to
be increasing very rapidly.
Most people think that the Jewish
mind does not run in the direction OF
agriculture, but more particularly to
mercantile and professional pursuits
This is true, to a large extent, but II
should be remembered that the Jews
were the original farmers of the world.
They were the shepherds and husband
men in Abraham's time. They won a
living from the almost barren soil OF
Palestine 1000 years before Christ.
They were the agricultural pioneers in
the fertile valleys of the Nile, In Egypt,
and became the first and most prosper
our farmers in the land of Canaan. They
were the best sheep growers and the best
weavers of Babylon, and introduced agri-
culture into Spain. They were the land
owners and land workers of the world
for centuries. until nations began pass
ing laws against them, prohibiting them
from owning land and forcing them into
commercial pursuits.
The Jews were massacred and driven
from France in 1321 banished from Eng
land in 1890. and expelled from Spain in
1892. Russia and other countries made
laws against them or oppressed them by
special taxes until they were compelled
to surrender their lands. For hundreds of
years they have been, in many coun-
tries, compelled to follow other than agri-
cultural pursuits. The conditions have
changed practically throughout the civil
lied world, and the farming industry is
now open to the Jews everywhere, and
it is not surprising that they should re-
turn to IT in increasing numbers. Agri-
culture holds its promise of reward for
the investment of energy, persistence,
economy, and thrift, recognized traits of
the worlds first farmers. The return of
the Jews to the farm is but reversion

Improve the Race.
Primitive Ideas OF Hygiene.

Hindoo ambassadors once sent to Eng
land by a native prince were regarded
as so polluted that on their return to In
dia nothing but being born again would
purify them, and they were accordingly
dragged through a gold image of the
sacred Yoni.
A writer describes a curious custom
of the Baretse in South Africa. A few
days after the death of a man the doctor
comes and makes an incision on the fore
head of each of the survivors of his rela-
tives and fills II with medicine to ward of
the contagion and the effect of the sor-
Gerry that caused his death.
Leland calls attention to a custom of
taking medicines on the threshold in an
cient Tuscany, the idea being that the
threshold was the border line between
the outer world, where evil spirits freely
roam.
If a person dies within an Eskimo hut
everything in the hut must be destroyed
or thrown away, as well as everything
which had come in contact with the de-

The ostensible purpose of the Ameri-

procreation from a scientific standpoint
The part heredity plays in imbecility and
allied states will be considered in ad-
dresses and the subject of physical quail
fcation for marriage will be discussed.
The meetings of this society are to be
held in the new Masonic Temple, and
are open to the public. w. NJ. Hays, As

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-Princess
Lai, mother of the baby Emporer OF
China, and wife of the Prince Re-
gent, has eloped with an actor, Yung
Shu Ln, according to the Chinese
newspapers received to-day. A num-
Der of newspapers in China refer to
the disgrace that has come to the
royal family" but only one, the Min
Lu Pc, the largest newspaper pub.
lished in China, gives the princess
name and IN account OF the elope-
ment.
The mother of the Emporer, the
paper says fell in love with the
actor and corresponded with him for
some time before the rebellion be-
gan. The paper draws the conclu-
sion that the princess believed the
Manchu cause was lost, end decided
to flee. She is said to have taken
q fortune in jewels with her; and to
be living with Yung in Mukden.
Actors and BARRIERS are classeo
with the lowest of castles in China,
and Chinese here said to-day that
the elopement OF the princess was
the greatest disgrace chat could
come to the Manchu dynasty.
