/ Here. until nearly the end OF the six
| teenth century. almost every physical
\ and man Of science was an astrologer
| Throughout this period a decision OPP
| posite TO that Of Judge Freschi would
have been considered far more "un.
usual than his contrary decision Is
regarded today.
The idea of some mystic connection
between the far-off stars and planets
and the lives Of men on the earth Is
n most attractive one and so espe-
cially desirable is a belief that a study
Of these bodies Will reveal (among
other things knowledge of the flu
ture, that it is not surprising that con-
fidence in astrolngy was hut SLOWLY
undermined
II is hardly necessary to refer In
much detail to the causes which led
TO the practically complete overthrow
of astrology. The predictions of the
most eminent astrologers were mark
ed by many conspicuous successes bat
by probably still more numerous con-
| spicuous failures One of the latter
was the prediction of Cardan, the moot
celebrated astrologer of his time, in
regard 10 the young King Edward VI
Among many other minute details It
was stated that this King would GER
tainly live till past middle age. though
after the age of So years months and
II days he would suffer from various
diseases. The king actually died in
the following July ut the age Of lG
years
Yet less conspicuous failures would
attract but little attention, and among
the thousands of horoscopes constant
" being cast the occasional success
would be remembered and quoted long
after the failure was forgotten. But
in spite of this, and In spite of the
natural desire of man to continue so
attractive a belief, his confidence in
II was in time lost The single obvious
fact that astrologers themselves were
neither richer nor wiser than other
men, ana that their special knowledge
was seen to increase neither their
foresight in securing success nor their
ability to avoid dangers, was enough
to discredt their assumption Of n spe-
eial knowledge.
In short, that an astrologer of to-
day might convince any well informed
man Of The truth of astrology. IL would
be necessary for him to make. not
only one, but Il series of predictions
under properly imposed conditions.
and also 20 give some satisfactory nc
count of the special evidence which
mas convinced him of its truth, in OPP
position to host Of students who have
extensively Investigated this subject.
And all Of this without reference TO
the almost Infinite improbability that
there can possibly exist any connec-
ton whatever between the millions of
wonderful objects in the heavens ana
the movements of men on our little
earth.

THE CHRIST or THE ANDES

i"hN Ndi ptHAtIsJ
The Christ Of the Andes" is not
visible from the railroad, but it is well
worth a trip up the mountains. Ii is
one of the wonderful statues of the
, world, and there Is none that COM
pafes with 1t in the nobility Of the
sentiment it commentaries. II is a
greater monument of civilization than
Andrew Carnegie's famous Peace pal
ace at The Hague or that other peace
palace which he erected in Costa
Riea, which the earthquake threw
down. Indeed, IL is question wheth-
er the European war has not practi-
eally destroyed his peace monument
in Europe.
The peace monument on the top Of
the Andes is bronze figure of the
Christ, placed on the boundary be-
tween Chile and Argentina. to com
memorate the treaty of peace made
between the two republics in 1903.
It marks the settlement of a dispute
which involved territory as large
as our state of Kansas, or more than
one-third as large as either Germany
or France. The statue was cast from
old Argentine cannon. 1t is twenty
six feet high and it stands on a gran
tie pedestal. One hand Of the Christ
is outsretched in blessing, and the
other upholds the cross. on the pc
destal are engraved these words:
Sooner shall the mountains crum-
hle into dust than the people of Ar
gentina and Chile break the peace
which they have sworn 90 maintain
at the feet of Christ. the Redeemer."
The English, the French and the
Germans are inclined 10 look ut the
countries Of lower South America as
a part 90 the hackwoods OF the world.

The StOrUteLLers
Very Curious.

1t is reported that in spite of his
great age, Count Zeppelin is still
actively interesting himself In the
construction of the German airships
which bear his name. The count is a
very great personal friend Of the
kaiser, and he is fond of telling an
amusing story concerning days
shooting he once had which shows
the extent to which William II is flat
tered by his encourage. After the
shooting was over sixty-four dead
deer were laid in front of the kaiser,
and his majesty posed for his photo
graph.
When the picture had been taken
the kaiser turned to Count Zeppelin
and said:
''Sixty-four deer yes? That's very
curious, for during the whole day
fired only eighty shotsi'
OF course. most of the dead animals
had been killed by other sportsmen
and placed before the kaiser to give
him a bigger idea of himself.
