prophet" Says Messiah Is Already
OH Earth.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-For plain and
fancy prophesying there is man in
Chicago who surpasses any bewhis-
kered soothsayer ever inspired by a
vision. His name is II. L. Burnette.
Three years ago he predicted an early
coming of the Messiah. Today he an
nounced that he had made good"
Among other things, he declares:
The Messiah Is now on earth, hid
den in Zion City, III. He is engaged
in selecting a reception committee of
eight men. His clothes in which he
will make his appearance are laid out
for him. He will reveal himself at
Christmas time"
Burnette did not make this an
nouncement publicly. He was indig-
nant when he learned that newspa-
pers had 1t. He had whispered it to
his followers as private information
in reward for their faith. 1t was a
skeptical follower who let the story
leak from the circle.
Burnette is not an amateur seer
He gained wide experience through
long association with John Alexander
Dowie, founder Of Zion City. He has
taken Dowie's place, he says, in pre-.

\ NEW PLAN TO
Make Girls BEHAVE

The problem of maintaining dis
cipline in schools exclusively for girls
has difficulties well understood by
most teachers. in such institutions.
Frau Heinzmann. head mistress of
girls school at Lubbock. Germany, has
recently set forth these difficulties in
magazine article; but the real val
ue of the article lies in her account
of a novel experiment which. contrary
to her expectations. proved highly
successful. Despairing of obtaining
order and discipline 10y the ordinary
methods. Frau Heinzmann decided to
allow the girls TO govern themselves.
The girls accepted the idea with en-
thusiasm. First of all it was decided
what the office bearers should do.
This was done by the girls themselves
who thought of many things that L
could never have dreamed Of" says
Frau Heinzmann.
Then the office bearers were elect
ed To my astonishment the most
disturbing member of the class headed
the poll In one class the first elect
ed was a girl. who continually came
late to school. She was appointed
monitor with two projects, one of
whom was famous in the school for
her pranks. and the other girl who
constantly had unsatisfactory as the
mark for her work. At the same time
some of the patterns of the class
were chosen to took after the class
room cupboard
Then came the choice of punish
ments. which all the girls sought tC
make more severe than their mistress
thought necessary. For gross forget
| fulness girls were made TO learn sc
many lines of verse by heart; fol
restlessness they were made to stanC
for ten minutes during lesson tTh'
girls proposed that the time should
be for whole hour)
The girls wished for still severe
punishment for grave cases, and pro
posed Punishment from the class TO
a week. This ] thought too severe
and they made it four days to be ap
piled only with my permission. Bu
finally it was reduced to banishmen
for a single morning.
.The result was that the leaders o

bers of the class. Once mont

When Edwin asks Angelina what

ring there generally follows a discus
sion as to which is the lady's lucky
stone.
If Edwin is superior" young man
he will perhaps laugh to himself at
his sweethearts superstition. But, as
a matter of fact, science indorses
great deal of what used to be re-
garded as superstition regarding pre-
cious stones and metals-especially
the belief that some of them possess
healing properties.
Many famous physicians, among
whom may be mentioned Hahenebann
tthe founder of homeopathic medi-
cine) have recognized the healing
value of gold. The old-fashioned
remedy of mOistening a gold ring and
rubbing it on the eye to heal a stye
IS perfectly reasonable.
Doctors today will inject a solu-
tson of gold for the treatment of GER
tain kinds of otherwise incurable ul-
eers. Many cases of remarkable sue
tess have resulted. And the curative
fact that the amount of pure gold re-
quired in the solution is only l per

PSYCHOLOGIST PROVES
THAT WORMS THINK
Little Animals Learn by Experience
Where to Find safe Place.

Boston, Dec. 4.-From a series of
experiments conducted in his psyche
logical laboratory, Professor Yerkes,
of Harvard has become convinced that
an angle worm can think. Knowing
that an angle worm will always crawl
out of a lighted place into dark
one, the professor put a worm into
a glass dish in which were two dark
holes.
The right hand hole was an ordi-
nary earth cavity. The left one. how
ever. contained an electric battery
the object of which was to give the
worm mild shock in case it entered.
After few trials the worm learned
its lesson and could be counted on
always to turn to the right when 1t
was put into the dish.
