Beginning with Irazu, in Costa
Rica, which several times shook into
ruins the city of Carriage, that dared
to sit on the skirt of the volcano,
one may count half dozen standing
on the very edge of this plain that
have been very much alive within a
few years, writes Edward Perry, in
Engineering Magazine.
A few miles from Irazu> the living
volcano of Pcas looks down on coffee
"fincas' and other farms. on the
cities of Heredia and Alajuela at it's
feet, and on the capital city, San
Jose, a very few miles away. PoaS
sometimes puffs smoke and dust
enough to cover all its sides, even
so far as the tracks of the Northern
Railway to Costa Rica at its foot.
Like many if not all of these noun
tains Poas seems TO be a big pile of
comparatively loose materials, there
fore it is not amazing that they shake
from their sides large areas of coun-
try that plow their way down to the
plains at their feet.
From Poas northwest is volcano
after volcano, most OF them dead or
sleeping. One of these is Omotepe,
rising high from the bosom OF Lake
Nicaragua. A little way farther along
the line. Momotombo raises it's head
200 feet above the sea level. 1t has
covered its head wide and deep with
ashes, for it's many sins. 1t waves
a white plume of steam far out over
the plain, toward the southwest aud
the city of Leon. Many a time has
cid Momotombo awakened the folk,
and scared them by its grumblins
and shaking, and fires that lit its
plume. Then pious ones have lugged
crosses as far UP as they could CO.
with design to awe or to 5appease the
old fellow.

ostracism, could snuff out that divine
light which shone in her eyes, or
destroy her equanimity or serenity.
She felt the presence of a Divine
hand leading. guiding, protecting her,
and she was not afraid.
1t has ever been a mystery TO the
world that martyrs and prisoners
could go through such sufferings and
tortures. not only without tremor
of fear. but even with the assurance
of victorious triumph. The reason
was that they were anchored in
eternal principle. buttressed by truth,
justice and right. Nothing could
happen seriously to disturb them, be-
cause the hand that held them fast
was divine. omnipotent
Just in proportion as we have, a per-
feet sense of our at-one-meDt with
the Divine, shall we receive the life
current, the health current, which
can heal all our diseases. This is the
secret of all mental healing, of all
health, prosperity and happiness, a
conscious union with the Divine
There is no harmony, no health, no
genuine happiness that is lasting and
worth while outside of this atone
ment. If we could only constantly
live in the consciousness of this union,
we could always maintain physical
and mental harmony. This is the Sc
cret of all human blessedness.
In this consciousness we do not
grow old in spirit. Instead of de-
Ginning with the years we renew our
youth perpetually, and we constantly
advance to greater and greater
growth.
What a comforting and sustaining
thought it is that an infinite power
presides over us which is kinder to us
than we are to ourselves, kinder than
we can be to those we love best; a
force which is always ready to heal
our hurts and to restore us, no mat
ter how we have sinned in violating
natures law!
When one feels that his hand is
gripped by the Omnipotent hand, he
is too near to God for doubt or
fear" and he knows that no harm can
come to him from any finite source
The realization of all this will help
us to live the life which is worth
while, and will show us the baroness
the hollowness, the emptiness of the
selfish, greedy struggle in which most
of us are engaged. The consciousness
that we actually do live, move and
have our being in Divinity will ele-
vate our standards and multiply our
powers as nothing else can.

The late Professor Shaler, of Har-
yard University, said that the
greatest discovery of the last
century was that of the unity of
everything in the universe, the one
ness of all life.
This idea that there is but one prin-
ciple running through the universe,
one life, one truth, one reality; that
this power is divinely beneficent, and
that we are in a great principle-cur-
rent, which is running Godward, Is
one of the most inspiring, encourag-
ing and fear-killing thoughts that
ever entered the human mind.
The realization that in the truth OF
our being We are a part OF the one
great creative principle of the uni
verse, a necessary. INSEPARABLE
part of it, and that we can no more
be annihilated than can the laws OF
mathematics; that we must be i'm
mortal ourselves because We are
part of immortal Principle; that we
must partake of all of the qualities
which compose our Creator-Father,
that we must be perfect and immortal
because we were created by Perfec-
ton, solves the greatest mysteries of
life and gives us a wonderful sense
of security, safety, satisfaction and
cOftenInenL, WHICH nOIHlnB else Celh
give.
The constant contemplation of our
union with the infinite life helps to
establish a certainty in our lives, an
assurance that we are not the play
things of chance. the puppets of ac-
cident or fate; that We are not tossed
hither and thither in the universe,
the victims of a cruel destiny which
we cannot control.
Just in proportion as we realize this
oneness with the Divine. this atone
ment with our Maker do our lives
become calm. confident creative.
I have seen delicate woman pass
through sufferings and trials which
would have sent most strong men
and women to an insane asylum, and
yet she never wavered or complained
but was always. even during the
darkest hours, poised, helpful, serene,
always full of love for her fellow
men. There was a light in her eye
which was not born of earth, because
she was so entrenched in principle,
in truth SO conscious of her oneness
with the Divine so completely in
tune with the Infinite and her faith
was so gigantic that nothing could
happen to throw her off her centre.

CONSTITUTIONALISM CRISIS

There is an insidious form of at
tack upon constitutional government
which should not escape observation.
writes David Jayne Hill in North
American Review. 1t is the DISPOSE
ton to withdraw and annul that act
of popular remuneration of each in
the interest of all upon which the
success of constitutional government
is baseda 1t is important that this
point should be made clear, for it
contains the chief justification for
speaking of a crisis in constitution
alism.
Inc greatest present danger to con-
stltut1onal government is the revo-
cation of this splendid sacrifice of
personal advantage to the common
well being; the agreement of the peo-
pie not to attempt an act of con-
quest upon one another, but to live
on terms of equality under lust laws.
In considering the drift of the So

cial forces now in operation, one is
struck by the diminished respect for
law simply because it is law This,
Is, no doubt, in part owing to the
changed conception of the source of
legal authority. When men sincerely
believed in "inalienable rights" and
conceived of law as the guardian of
those rights, it was esteemed worthy
of sentiment of reverence.
The one thing most certain is that
If we are to preserve and Justify con
stitutlonal government we must be
ever ready to defend it, If we are
to defend it, we who believe in il
must act together To many minds
1t seems at this moment the one over
mastering issue. When principles
have been settled, men have always
been found to render them effective.
What we need at present is not so
much leaders as statement of the
principles by which we should be led,
and which we should then insist upon
having applied in practise.

The late John Moore. who estab-
lished brokerage house in New
York in the early eighties, which be-
came perhaps the best-knoWn of all
the institutions of that kind which
were identified with the New York
Stock Exchange, was in the mid
seventies. especially in the early part
of the administration of President
Hayes. associated with some very i'm
portant undertakings in Washington.
1t was in the capital that Mr. Moore
organized the Mutual Union Tele-
grapR Company, which afterward
passed into the possession of jay
Gould and was one of the levers
which Mr.. Gould used in securing
control of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
Mr.. Moore had no illusions-at least
in the later years of his life-about
the limitations of his business ability.
He knew exactly where he was
strong and experience had taught
him where he was weak.
In the late eighties, or perhaps in
the early nineties, Mr.. Moore was
riding on Fifth avenue, New York,
with friend who spoke to him about
some of the amazing appropriations
of real property in that vicinity. He
said: /

From the Chicago Tribune.
The sins of the employment agen-
cies in the city are many. They have
time and again been charged with
swindling immigrants and ignorant
laborers of fees for jobs that existed
only in the agents imagination
Where these charges>could be brought
10 trial they We're usually sustained
in court. Another and heavier charge
is now being leveled against some of
these privately run bureaus of en-
ployment. 1t is alleged that they are
in league with the men who make a
business of commercialized vice mad
that they supply recruits to the white
slave market. Poor, innocent girls
applying for honest labor are sent by
these agents into disorderly resorts,
it is claimed, or into places connected
with and leading up to such resorts.
Experience which other cities have
had with employment agencies lends
conviction to the charge. The greed
and characterlessness of many of the
owners of employment bureaus leave
little doubt that they are capable
of doing pretty much everything for
money.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

JANUARY IS
rlncess Margaret of Sweden


Margaret Victoria Augusta Char
lotte Norah, princess royal of Sweden,
celebrates her thirty-second birth
day today. She is the sister of Prin-
cess Pat" who narrowly escaped
being the queen of Spain. She mar
ried Prince Gustav Adolphus, the
present crown prince of Sweden,
when she was twea ty-three and has
three sons and a daughter.
Another famous woman born on
January Is can hardly be called a
woman at all for she died when she
was eight, and has the distinction of
being the youngest person whose bio
graphy is recorded in the British Ma
tional Biography. This is Margaret
Fleming, who was born a hundred
and eleven years ago today in Scot
land and was such a charming little
lassie that she was known to her
parents and their friends as pet
Margarie" The novelist, Sir Walter
Scott, met her when she gwas a very
little child and became particularly
attached to her. delighting in her
quaint and playful remarks more
than he did in the society of the most
beautiful and brilliant society women.

She returned Sir Walters attachment
and saved all her most clever sayings
and thoughts for his ears. She even
decided to write and the pages OF her
diary reveal a child of precocity al
most unbelievable.
But, unlike the usual run of prod
igies, Margaret Fleming was never
the least bit morbid. Her genius was
entirely in the direction of wit and
humor and drollery. That the pet
Margarie was not perfect in every
line of intellectual achievement we
can gather from these lines IN her

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

lation that may be repealed after the
next Presidential election?
People who talk in this way know
nothing of the swing of politics in
the United States or of the machinery
by which tariffs are made. The most
influential factor in the fiscal legis
lation of the republic is the Senate.
The House of Representatives is re-
sponsve TO every breeze, but it takes
gale of popular disapproval to make
much of an impression on the Sen
ate, the members of which are chosen
for much longer period than their
fellows of the lower House. The tide
of Democratic dominance has not yet
reached flood in the Senate, and it
will be several years before it be-
gins to recede in any marked degree
Before next November thirty-two
members of the Senate must be re-
elected or their places must be taken
by others. Seventeen of the retiring
senators are Republicans. Many of
them have no chance of reelection.
Mark sullivan, Golfers Washington
correspondent, is of the opinion, after
a careful survey of the field, that
whereas the membership of the Sen
ate now consists of fifty-one Demo-
Gratis, forty-four Republicans and
one Progressive, in the next Senate
the number of Republicans is likely
to fall below thirty.
Should this forecast be justified by
the event there will be no repeal of
the present United States tariff be-
fore 1920, even were President VIII
son beaten in 1916 and a strongly Re-
publican House of Representatives
elected. Canada, therefore, should go
ahead and readjust her duties secure
in the knowledge that tariff stability
across the border is reasonably GER
tain for the next six or seven years, |
and that long before the Republicans
again secure control of the tariff |
making power free food on both sides
of the border will be a well estab- |
lished principle, which no political |
party will risk its popularity to re-
verse. The wait-awhile enemies of
free food can find no warrant for
their plea for delay in political con-
ditions across the border

Leslie's, y
Oahu today is the greatest armed
military camp under the American
flag. It is the khaki-clad sentinel OF
the Pacific, lone vidette on an ever
lasting picket, day and night. year
in and year out, guarding the ap-
proaeh to the Pacific coast. It is a
sentinel that covers a long beat; for,
with its lightning flashes of battle
ships and cruisers emanating Jove-
like from Pearl Harbor, designed to
be the greatest naval base of the
United States by 1915. and with the
fringe of steel which is to be placed
in redoubts all around the 177-mile
coastline, it bars the approach Of a
hostile fleet from the Far East.
1t is a khaki-clad sentinel, for the
island of oahu, known milttarily as
the Hawaiian Department of the
United States army. maintains six
military posts, of which four are
coast defense fortresses and the other
two are garrison posts, in which
every branch of the service is rep
resented.
Oahu is a vast armed camp and
the ground trembles with the tread
of infantry, the rumble of artillery
and the thud of cavalry hoofs. From
1898, when the first garrison of United
States troops Vas stationed on the
island with one hundred men on duty,
the military establishment has grown
to 1000. with 1000 men yet to be as
signed to duty this year. No main
land coastline has so many coast ar
tillery companies massed along the
shores as Oahu. No area of the size
of Oahu contains so many army posts
or as many armed men,, Fort Kruger,
lying upon the slopes of the extinct
crater. has two companies; Fort De.
Russy. two; Fort Armstrong, one:
Fort Kamehameha, four. A mine
planting tug slipped into Honolulu
harbor one night during the height
of the Japanese agitation in Cali
fornia, when the army officials of
Oahu were closely watching the
Japanese colony of 10000 on that one
island. to discover its sentiment to-
ward The army and toward America.

cold. You can and viii also shut in

breathing the polluted air of closed
