Records before them showed exactly

The amount of wind pressure against
the wires the weight of ice to be held
up in winter and the effect of tempera-

ARMY WORMS STALL
TRAIN FOR HOUR ON

SAVANNAH. GA, July "a pas

an army of small worms crossing the

these lines it branches off to various

strung on steel towers which rise 6S
feet above the earth. Each tower sup
ports seven wires. The top one is a

tect the current bearing wires from

Social Hygiene.

The General Federation of Women's
Clubs, in session at San Francisco, has
a report from its committee on educa-
ton on the teaching of personal and
sex hygiene in the schools. This is
very important. As the result of care
full study OF public and private docu-
ments the conclusion was reached by
the committee that instruction in sex
hygiene was necessary if the social
evil is to be eliminated and disease con-
trolled. The committee also has found
that popular prejudice against such in
struction is disappearing rapidly. which
in itself is great step toward much
needed reform.
But it is absolutely necessary that
such delicate subject must be handled
and the instruction given by persons
who have been especially and properly
prepared for the work Educators
maintain that it should be made a
part of the course of study in the
normal schools, Tor thus a body OF
teachers fitted to give this instruction
may be obtained. The report also says
that, while this teaching should be
based principally upon biology. more
ought to be included than mere phys
ical facts. This would make the new
departure not one OF science only, but
a moral one, which is by far the most
needful part aimed at.
We opine that these conclusions will
have the proper weight with school
boards. They are pre-eminently wise,
They are also moderate and will tend
to solve heretofore extremely difficult
problem and purify the lives of coming
generations.

PRESIDENT TAFT ORDERS
THAT JAP FISHERMAN
BE GIVEN BACK HIS BOAT

By action Of President Taft yesterday
Choemon XII Kuski. a Japanese, will get
back his little fishing schooner Toa Kali
SIaru, which was seized a year ago. The
crew was fishing within the three-mile
limit OF the Alaskan coast and was con-
victed of violating the law which for
bids aliens to fish there. Thirty-eight
members OF the crew were fined 500
each. in lieu OF which they served prison
sentences and then returned TO Japan.
All We're japanese.
Meanwhile the Ninth Circuit Court OF
Appeals decided that a fine of $500
against the whole crew was sufficient
punishment, and the total lien against
the schooner. including costs, was s.. 200
This the President decided yesterday TO
remit and the boat is returned to its
owner The Federal district attorney
in Alaska Endorsed the clemency petition,
holding that the sentence was excessive.

Montana Is one of the very largest.

The Impossible of Yesterday.

Prof Willis Moore predicts that the
time will come when the two hundred
weather stations in this country will
be equipped with aviators and flying
machines. The kite on windy days and
the aeroplane on calm days will carry
instruments aloft, bringing back pres
sure, temperature, and direction as well
as force of the wind. These findings
will be telegraphed to the forecasters
in central bureaus, who then will be
able to construct a weather map of a
two-miie air level.
This will enable weather bureaus to
issue more danger warnings, to air
craft than to ships, and Prof. Moore
goes so far as to predict that the time
is not far distant when forecasters will
lay out the routes for aerial navigation.
He also foresees the shooting of pas
sengers from America to Europe be-
tween breakfast and afternoon tea by
placing them in an aluminium case and
carrying them upward in aeroplanes
to the eastward drift above the storm
stratum.
If the weather sage should be right
it could be said truly that the impossible
of yesterday is but the commonplace of
to-day.

The Abolition of He'll Fire.

The action of the International Bible
Students Association, now in session
in this city with several thousand dele
gates present, in unanimously rejecting
the doctrine of hell fire, marks a de-
cided advance in religious sentiment
Our forefathers believed in a literal
burning pit, where the wicked suffered
endless torture from excessive heat.
The location of this fiery furnace was
unknown and somewhat mysterious,
but none the less its existence was &C
cepted as reality.
With the growth of human know
ledge the belief in this place of physj-
cal torture has steadily declined 1t has
come to be regarded as myth. exact
ly as it is now known that the earth
was not created in seven days. There
may be, of course, future punishment
for the sinful, just as there would seem
to be reward for life well spent.
To believe in this is simply to recog-
nize the universal law of compensation
1t was Emerson, we believe, who said
that the wings of God were black and
white; and while Emerson was not a
prophet nor the son of a prophet, he
stated in epigrammatic fashion a truth
which is emphasized in daily life.
The theories which have been ad-
vanced as to the character of this fu-
ture reward or punishment are many
and interesting All, however, are
purely speculative. No human being
has ever returned, or will ever return,
from the undiscovered bourne to tes-
tify as to the life hereafter. The sug-
gestion of literal hell, with big and
little devils engaged throughout eter-
nifty in stocking multitudinous furnaces
in order that condemned souls may
suffer scorching heat, is so repugnant
to an enlightened sense, is such a strain
upon intelligence, that it is no wonder
that it excites skepticism rather than
fear.
And this is the very logical reason
why the Bible Students Association
casts the belief in hell fire into the
limbo of the past
