Maqnesia ir Sea Shells.


 Chemical analysis of starfishes, gee urchins and sr;noids, collected from all parts of the world. show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present Is found to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia is highest in those specimens that lived In tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas of Greenland and the Antarctic, with a regular grada- ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon Mo at the sea bottom. The in. vestigations suggest that the skeie- tons of these animals have the compo aition of the manganese limestone, or dolomite, and 1t is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which limestones are now formed, but also as to the temperatures ot the oceans in different regions of the earth where. during different periods of geologic history, great deposits of magnetism limestone were formed

What Scandal Ia

Of scandal, the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really know. ing what's what. It extends our ex. perience, and gives us vicarious i'm. portance. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mme Du Barry's boudoir; if we can. net be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge Of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo. ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps a genuine primi. tive art In whica there Is interest through pity and fear and pride ana Joy. One woman leaves her husband: . hundred women chatter about it. and their passionate interest might make a cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emn- tons of a great adventure without the risk of moving away. from their own steam radiators. Gossip is ex. perience without responsibility. It :is means of taking part in inter. esting pr important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them.

 ROSPERITY
NEWSPAPER CHARITY.

Space and copies of his paper go to make up the newspaper mans en- tire stock in trade," says the Fourth EEtate in an editoral entitled, "Ob- jscts of Charity"
 There two arc all that he has to cffer for sale to the public, and no enc has ever yet given any sort or satisfactory reason why he should ever be asked by anyone to donate them.
 "One thing newspaper people will never ba able to .understand is why any person will walk into a newspa- ger office and make Himself Or ncr- self an object of charity and insist upon what they would disdain to ask for in any other shop or place Of business in the town. The principle is the same in the newspaper ofrice as in the dry goods store, the grocery stora, the drug store and what q great many people need is to come to recognize it as the same and get off the newspaper charity list.
 ADVERTISING SFACE IN THE, NEWSP PAPER IS FOR SALE. NOT TO GIVE AWAY. 1t has a certain intrinsic value in itself that makes it worth money Copies of the newspa- per are for sale, not to give away. If they are worth having they are worth the exceedingly small price asked for them.
 "1The public, or at least large portion of it has some very erroneous ideas about these matters and 1t is but just 10 the newspaper folks that these ideas be correced in accordance with tho same business principles that prevail in all other business es- tablishme nts.
 "In the vast majority of cases. this generous charity on the part of news rapers is blissfully taken for grant ed. and the papers liberality abused. That which is purely favor is &C., cepted as 9 mater of course and what should be requests are couched as demands.
 "When the courtesy has been per- formed there is rarely appreciation and more often tion-gen- erally silence.
 "The result in many of the towns and cities has been that a ban has been put upon all free publicity. no matter what it's object-evan upon the church no,ice. In those cities such favors as the press bestows are properly appreciated and valued.'

get out. The boat continued to rol and shortly afterwards the hawsers broke and the steamer turned over on it's side and drifted toward tht middle of the river.
 When she went over, jumped ant held on to the upper side. It all hap pened in two minutes. The cause is a mystery to me. I have sailed the lakes for 9 years and previous to that sailed on salt water 12 years, and this is the first serious accident eTer had. l don't know how it hap pened"
 Inspector Makes Statement.
 Six government Inspectors were working on the docks when the East land turned over. They were in charge of Inspector R. H. McCurry.
 "Two inspectors were assigned to the Eastland,' McCurry said, "to see that the, boat was not oyererowded. The ship had taken on all that she would hold and the two inspectors had turned many others away. She was ready to sail when the accident occurred. The sinking of the ship came to me like streak of lightning. It all happened so suddenly
 Pray for Dead.
 The American and Federal leagues baseball games we're called off, many theatres announced that their doors would be closed tonight, and churches summoned their members to pray for the dead and offer com fort to the living. Flags were lower ed to half-mast and mourning sym bols were draped on many business establishments.
 Few Had a Chance.
 Passengers were crowded on the ship shortly before o'clock, the hour it was to leave, when the boat slowly listed toward the middle of the river
 It is said that there were 2,50O persons on the steamer. When the boat started to tip the officers shout ed warnings, but it Yhs too late. The heavily loaded steamer contin- ued to roll until the hawsers which held it to the dock snapped. A mo- ment later, amid the screams of pas sengers, the steamer turned over on it's side and floated out in the middle of the river. Apparently scores of women and children in the cabins were drowned without being given chance to escape Hundreds of other passengers were able to climb on the side of the boat, which is above Wa ter. and were later taken off by res cuers.
 The Probable Cause.
 A few hours of inquiry caused in vestigating officials to lean strongly toward the theory that the peculiar condition of the boat was responsible for the accident. The Eastland was of water ballast so that It could enter the harbor at South Hav- en. Mich, and other shallow ports and river mouths. When approaching such entries the water would be forc- ed from the tanks reducing the boats draft. Ballast would be taken on again when the vessel emerged from the harbor.
 It was the theory of the oitlclals that most of the ballast had been forced from the tanks in anticipation of a heavy load today. The steamer was thus rendered >topheavy it was thought and this, if q fact, would eN- plain why she capsized so quickly.

Speaking Trumpet is old.


 Duhamal, a Frenchman- claimed 10, his country the credit of the invention of the speaking trumpet, and referring to the object in one of his books he says: Among many things which the celebrated D'Alance caused to be made for this purpose, the trumpet assri5ed to Alexander, and with which he called together his army. oGght not to be omitted. As the figure of 1t was represented iA an old manuscript in the Vatican library, and had been ascribed to Bettini, that learned man was desirous of trying whether 1t could be proved by experience. and the attempt succeeded; for that kind of a trumpet, if it does not excel. seems undoubtedly to equal the other instruments constructed for that end"

Have you noticed how far north OF
the due west point the sun sets these
evenings? 1t was just a few weeks
ago, March 81, when the Advocate
mentioned that the sun was rising in
the due east and setting in the due
west. The sun will continue to appear
farther north each day till June 81,
the solstice period, and then Is the
time to note how much the sun shines
into the north windows. And II you
will gaze into the western sky after
dark you will behold the brightest por-
tons of all the heavens. The brightest
fixed star within u sight may be seen
about midnight from the southwestern
horizon to the zenith. And from that
star northward across the western sky
may be seer a wondrous sight In light

FATHER DAILY SPEAKS

heard Father DAILY. Among other
things he said:
Most of us belong to a certain
church, well-because our good par.
ents raised us in that particular re,
Igion. Many too in all the churches do
not know as much as they should or
could about the history and the exact
teachings of our church. We lacked
time or opportunity, or else foolishly
failed to learn our religion. st. Paul
declares that we should "be able to
give reason for the Faith that is in u.s.
It's God that gave us reason and com
mon sense-though the latter is quite
uncommon. Hence anything that is
really silly or unreasonable, cannot be
pleasing to God. If l give a man a
lighted lantern to guide him along a
strange and dangerous dark road, ]
cannot feel complimented when he
quenches that needed light. / reflect
that either he or l belong to the class
OF fools of which says Scripture THE
number is infinite" Now a thing may
seem silly to me, not because it really
is silly, but because l am Ignorant

forth its hand to clutch the moon. If
anything in the real, true teachings or
ceremonies seem silly to me, let me
first be sure whether l know exactly,
