AGA KHAN HAS NO THRONE.
But Ho Is One Of the Most Powerful
Rulers In the World.

Did you ever hear Of the Aga Khan?
If you don't know who he is you don't
know about one Of the most powerful
men in the world. The Aga Khan
rules no country, not even little state
in his native India, but hundreds of
thousands Of Moslems would cut Off
their right hands at his bidding. For
he Is lineal descendant Of Ali, the
nephew Of Mohammed and is the spirit
ual head of large and important
section Of the Mola.nmedans of Asia.
He is young, handsome, olive skinned,
enormously wealthy and has contribut-
ed munifcently to charities of every
kind in India.
Probably there is no leader of Brit
ish India whose good will is Of greater
value to England. Immensely rich
and counting his followers by the hun.
dred thousand, the Aga Khan stands
In very high official estimation in India.
His position is unparalleled, inasmuch
as there is no more powerful potentate
In the Moslem world in spite of the
fact that he rules no territory of his
own. Most of the very numerous body
of men who are ready to obey his
slightest wish are wealthy. educated
and intluential.-New York World.

PROBING The PLANETS.
An English Scientist Says Only the
Earth Can Sustain Life.

Lecturing at the Victoria institute.
London. the other day, Walter z. Maun-
der. superintendent nf the solar depart
ment ut Greenwich. declared that there
could be no life on Mars. The earth.
he said. is the only planet where man
or any other part Of animal or plant
Sreat ton can live.
He took the planets one by one and
condemned each in turn. He even con
sidered some Of the moons. but each
had some disability which could only
spell death. He hesitated for awhile liz
discussing Vents. There was just
possibility that the sheath of clouds
that covered her from the fierce heat
of the sun might have beneath it some
kind of life. If the Italian astronomers
are right Venus always turns one face
to the sun and one-half of the planet is
too hot for any life. and the half that
turns it's face eternally from The sun Is
chilled to the realms of death. Mer.
curry is in much the same predicament
As to Mars. we can watch 1t very
closely. and we can see or imagine all
sorts Of strange things, but its deadly
cold makes life impossible. When such
conditions as the water and air cover
ings Of the earth are considered the diff
ference between the temperature of the
earth and that of Mars must be at
least 100 degrees. Mr.. Maunder be-
lieves that in some parts of Mars the
temperature ut times creeps down close
to the absolute zero.
Mr.. Maunder has no belief In the g.
gantic canals seen by Professor Lowell
He believes them to be an outcome of
the desire to see them, not exactly OPP
tical illusions, but something very much
of the sort. Mr. Maunder concluded:
$50 in our own system we have found
that there is one planet-our earth
that is inhabited and one other that
may perchance be habitable. The 9th
ers all may with certainty be ruled out
Of court The earth has q claim to a
higher distinction than size or bright
ness can possibly give 1t. 1t is almost
certain that II is unique among the
heavenly bodies that are visible to us.
and among those that are unseen and
unknown there can only be small

Chinese In Cuba,

There are close to $4,000 Chinese in
Cuba, and the census of 1907 recorded
the fact that forty Chinese women
were Inhabitants of Cuba. Before Gu,
ba became republic it cost every Chi
naman who entered 81 to get his ell
trance ticket. Now Cuba bids him wei
come with little expense. He has to
furnish photograph Of himself and
stand inspection much as a man enter
ing a penal institution. The system
employed by Chief Menocal Is similar
to the one used at all United States
ports. The Chinese legation Is always
represented at the immigration office
when Chinese come and so, so that a
double check is placed on the travellers
from the far east.-Havana Post.

L0ND0N'S LATEST FREAK.
Tho Ethna Club, Which Is Both Intel
IectuaI and Aesthetic.


IectuaI and Aesthetic.
The latest freak club in London Is
called the Ethna. 1t has rooms on a
street just of Piccadilly, and here its
men and women members meet for in
tellectual converse.
The rule of the club demands that
there shall be rs little distinction in
the dress and appearance of the men,
bers as possible, and both men and wo-
men don long flowing white garments
Of sacklike shape and sandals before
they enter the dimly lighted rooms of
ent Of the Boston Advertiser. Most of
the men are clean shaven, and a few
Of the women have short hair, while
those who have long hair twist their
locks about their heads as tightly as
possible.
No intrOductiOns are ever made. ANY
member is permitted to talk to any
other and to talk freely and openly on
any subject The object Of the club
is to foster free discussion between
men and women. Visitors are occa-
sionally allowed. but they must, Of
course, wear the flowing robes and
sandals.
The membership is very limited. and
a positive requisite is intellectual wori;
of some sort. Most Of the members are
writer's, others are interested in social
problems and work on committees.
while still others are members Of the
great band of men and women in Lon
don who seem always on the outlook
for the very latest thing in fads and
fancies.

day as Mr.. Hinshaw was leaving the
Yearly Meeting House Grounds
stranger asked him to ride with him,
and by his good-natured, honest con-
versation planted the seed in the
boys mind which later developed in
to q sincere regard and admiration
for this man whom he afterwards
ger, and he returned home with the
determination to enter Penn college
at the earliest opportunity. But this
would be the tes:, to leave home and
friends and &c away among strang-
ers; not only this, but how to meet
the expense to carry him through the
four long years of his college course
Thus he returned to his studies at the
old academy with feeling that
what others have done can do"
Applying himself diligently to his
work he finished at the academy IN
the year 1902, under the direction of
Prof. Albert F. Styles.
In the fall of 1902 he entered Penn
college as Freshman, with all the
significance that name carries with it.
The story of his struggle in college
is not unfamiliar to many of the old
students and. members of the Alumni.
During the first summers vacation
Ia crowd of sixteen fellows went to
PENNSYLVANIA to canvass. All worked
hard and in the fall they compared
accounts and Mr.. Hinshaw headed the
list Yet all who stayed by the job"
made good.
Mr.. Hinshaw was elected assistant
business manager OF the college pa
per and the following year was elect
ed manager. He is a charter member
OF Brightonian Literary Society and
took an active part in debates and
other literary work as well as ath-
letics.
After completing his Junior year he
left college and taught a number Of
terms in the rural schools. Returning
in the fall of 1908 he finished with
the class of 1909.
Since graduation he has been act
lively engaged in his chosen profess
sion, school teaching. And his work
as teacher has been crowned with
success. The State Superintendent
gave his school honorable mention in
his address before the Southeastern
Teachers Association at Grinnell
| this year.
He is perhaps best known in Oska-
loosa through his work as Principal
of First ward. He put eighth grade
back into the school and graduated
the first class which had been gradu
ated from that school for number
of years. The boys of First ward re.

Mr.. Hinshaw's early training in
school work was received in the rural
schools of Hardin county, Iowa. His
parents lived on a farm near Union
and here his boyhood days were spent,
going to school during the school year
and working on the farm vacations.
When it came time for him TO leave
the country school the county super
intendent gave the class an eXamin'
alton and Mr.. Hinshaw was one OF
the few who started in his class, to
stay by to the end and receive his
diploma. He ranked first in the
class, which was taken from two
schools. Inspired by this success and
the hope of gaining higher educa'
ton, he entered the Academy at New
Providence, Iowa, the following fall
driving four and one-half miles to and
from school each day and, after the
evening chores were done, would
quietly slip off from the rest OF the
family to his room upstairs and pre-
pare his lessons for the following day
! AS time rolled on, not satisfied
with only an academic education, he
began to think about going away &c
school. And as luck would have ~
his mother encouraged him to go te
Oskaloosa one fall and attend Friends
Yearly Meeting. This would be
grand treat and he spent much Of
his spare time wondering what Penn
college really looked like. Only
few from that section of the country
had ever gone away to school; ant
a college graduate was remarkable
parsonage to young Hinshaw. As the
time drew near when he was to yisit
Oskaloosa for the first time, new
hopes and aspirations filled his mind
There were many pleasant things
which transpired to make the triI
Ia memorable one, but the one mos
impressive was the following: On.
