the theatre of his operations is not greatly removed from Peking and his approach is beginning to assume the proportions of a national menace.
 Not only do the successes of the powerful armies of this bandit chief presage internal disaster but White Wolf's swaying of the fortunes of the country bid fair to give rise to inter national complications.

The White Wolf of China

The greatest human scourges that have darkened the pages of history have ever come from China or regions contiguous to that benighted land and IS demons they swept across the con- ouered countries with devastation lingering in every imprint of their chargers hoof.
 Students who were pessimistic pre- dicted that the establishment of a Chinese republic would witness scenes of outbreak, bloodshed, rapine and murder, but it was bot supposed that the situation would give birth to an other Tamerlane or Genghis Khan.
 The later-day scourge has appeared in the person of White Wolf, san- guinary outlaw of the northwest whose success at brigandage promises to place him upon pedestal of cruel ty as formidable as that ever occupied by his bloody predecessors.
 So far the troops of the republic have been unable to cope with him. or stay his march of ferocity until now

Immortality

"This mortal must put on immor- tality." 1 Corinthian 15, 53.
 Thought swings pendulum-f fashion. Yesterday Huxley, Tyndall, Hume, Mill, held the stage preaching that there was no such thing as spirit, and that immortality, of course, had no basis. Today we are at the other ex- treme. Every man brings his argu- ment for immortality. Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Flam- marien, Lombroso, William James, world leaders in chemistry, physics, astronomy, criminology, philosophy, respectively are, or were, stanch de- lenders of a belief in another life. Lombroso and William James are dead, but the latter's place is taken by Bergson and Eucken, both of whom are laying philosophical postulates for immortality. Every branch of learned thought is making it's con- tribution even to the literature of this subject. Anybody who wants course of edifying, interesting and at times astounding, reading can get it at any well equipped library under the head of immortality.
 Through all the cold, barren ages of mechanical theory and tspirit-denial the Christian has chanted Paul's re- frain: "This mortal must put on inn mortality" Now in these latter days the representative of every science and of every system of thought are adding their voices to the strange, daring, triumphant strain: "This mortal must put on immortality" Biblical teaching with reference to immortality on the one hand pre- serves sublime simplicity and purity in contrast with the bizarre vagaries, fantastic punishments and voluptuous rewards of heather religions. On the other hand it is of course infinitely warmer and richer and more personal than any mere science would attempt to give.
 In this connection it ought to be said that the Bible does not teach that the scattered members of the dead will

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-04-12
A Mystery of Spring

Next to politics the subject that one hears most discussed at present is the existing cold spell and the extent, if any, of it's injury to the fruit crop and early vegetable farms. It is cold and yet the trees are in blossom, the peas and other early legumes are well above ground and the earth IS becoming verdant with new grass.
 Why is it? Why do the plants ap- pear in inimical and inhospitable weather? Assuredly they have not re- sponded to natures warning, for na- ture has not been warm only for few days at time. This question and the study of the mystifying subject have suggested a new theory as to the mutations in plant life. Botanists have about agreed that some other agency than heat is responsible for the awakening of the plants at the end of the winter season. Winter and
 
 the winter season are by no means one and the same thing. The season is fixed and periodic in it's advent and its departure, but winter often lin- gers long beyond it's allotted time and frequently indulges in an unexpected as well as undesired return.
 It is noted, however, that plant life pays no attention to the vagaries of winter; it revives and luxuriates regu- larly at the close of the winter sea- son or the approach of the vernal sea- son. It cannot be the warmth of spring that effects the change. The roots and seeds lie deep in the ground and com mence to germinate long before the suns heat has penetrated the soil. In the mountains of southern Europe such plants as the soldanellas and their allied species shoot up through the snow, demonstrating that it is not to heat that they owe their renewed birth. Again, water plants that have lain buried in the mud, respond to the call of the season and send forth leaf and stalk in water of much colder temperature than that of the aqueous depths in which they died during the fall.
 All this has led Leonard Bastin of London to suggest that it may be the peculiar light of the sun, and not it's heat that exerts such revivifying in- ,fluence upon the plant life in the spring of the year. Or it may be that the periods of mutation have their limits and duration and it is to such limits that the plants unerringly and regularly respond.

Business Prospects Frightening

The winter wheat crop is in such satisfactory condition now as to indi- cate an unusually large yield. It will be larger than the crop harvested in 1913 and well above the average of the last ten years.
 With regard to other crops, it will be May before forecasts worth while are in order; but in the south the ground has been in perfect condition for planting, and as the farmers are enthusiastic in their efforts to make this banner year, we will have con- tinuance of solid prosperity in the agricultural districts if the weather turns out to be not unkind.
 When bumper crops come in sight business will take on a great degree of activity. And if the interstate com merce commission grants the petition of the railroads asking for authority to advance freight rates per cent, iron, steel and lumber will be in brisk demand once more. The railroads are the largest buyers of iron and steel products, and when they are permitted to add little to their freight charges the pig metal and steel markets will become at once strong and upward in price.
 The business outlook is certainly more cheering than it was few weeks ago, and with the advance of the crop season the prospects will, it is felt, become even more cheering.
