International ouestions.

International questions constitute one of the greatest known boons of the. human race. International ques- tions are so broad that they do not re-
 quire any close reasoning in order to express opinions about them That is, their great beauty. One can strike in almost anywhere without any great danger of hitting bottom, and one can say almost anything about an interna- tional question without being called to account except by some one who is equally unreliable. Local questions are quite different in that respect. Local questions are much more prosaic and less romantic One must be surer of his data and more consistent in his conclusion. Tn explaining local ques- tions there is always danger that the man you are explaining to knows more about the matter than you do yourself If you must make ignorant statements do it in the way that best conceals your ignorance.-Life.

Work Of the Ground Molo.

There is a popular belief that the ground mole is e destructive animal. Like many popular beliefs this cannot be substantiated by facts. Ground moles do not feed upon roots and are not destructive. The ground mole is subterranean animal It builds its nest, rears it's young and hunts its prey beneath the eaEth- 1t is well adopted to its subterranean life, the shapa of its body being cylindrical, gradually ts- pering to point at the extremity of it's nose. Ground moles visit only those localities where the earth Is 1nfsssaa with insect life. Where they are uu- merous the ground Is interfaeed with ''runs'' or passageways that lead tEQUl one feeding ground to another. These little animals deserve protection be- cause they prey upon all Kinds of un- derground insects, among which are the larvae of some of the most iujNE4Oug insects which pass their papa CT el1Eys- ais stage beneath the ea9th.-Cs1ntE!.

contradiotoru soienoe.


 The infinitely little and infinitely vast alike baf1e the understanding, develop ed as it is by our concrete finite life. Creation is typifed by the sphere. A circle is a straight line that at every point ceases to be straight line, and the eafth's surface is plane that ey- cry moment ceases to be a plane. Fol- lowing the surface of the earth does not carry us to the under side. be- cause there is no more an under side than there is. an upper side There is only boundless surfaqe. But if it were possible for us to build a globe on the globe as large as the one we in- habit, would it not have an upper and an under side?
 l The rain causes the grass to grow, and the sun causes the, snow to melt. but. we cannot apply the idea of cause in. this sense to nature as whole, but only to parts of nature. Gravitation caused Newton's apple to fall, but what causes the earth to fall forever and ever and never to fall upon the body that is said to attract it?-John Burroughs in Atlantic Monthly.

EvICT FATHER OF
 IS CHILL DREN IN HORSE-CAR HOME
Abandoned Street Railway Vehicle Served Long Time
 As Dwelling.

At a special meeting of the board of health last night the commissioners condemned, an old horse car used as living apartments by the family of John Ryan at 1,228 Connecticut ave- nue, in the rear of the hose of Samuel Grinrod at 1,230 Connecticut avenue. According to the report of the health inspectors the house is unfit for hab- itation and is 9 menace to the health of residents of the neighborhood.f
 In the rear of the Grinrod home is one story shack that formerly trav- eled on the streets of this city when horse cars were in vogue. When they were replaced by electric cars Samuel .Grinrod, at public auction, pur- chased a number of the abandoned houses for more than. 20 years. The Erinrod house is fronted with an old car and it is called the front room by Samuel Grinrod. The car used by the Ryan family is a, dilapidated affair and several holes in the side of it have been plastered with soil to keep out the chilling breezes waited from the waters of Johnson's creek.
 The conditions. were unknown to the health department until a week ago when a school teacher reported it. The teacher had occasion to visit the Ryan home after one of the children had absented himself from school for a week without giving any reason for his absence.
 On her visit she discovered that Ryan and his wife and a family of four children. the only ones remain ing of a family of Is children, all of whom were boys, were living in most squalid appointments. The four chill dren are aged 15, Il, g and years re- spectfvely. The father is employed at the Automatic Machine Go.
 The. condition of the family was re- ported to Superintendent of, Charities Spencer R. Gordon, and Investigator Alexander F. Morrissey this morning brought the four children to the Fresh Air home in Fairfield, where they will be cared for as charges of the city of Bridgeport until the probate court shall order their commitment to the county home. The eldest son will not be committed but will be put to work by the charities departnenR. The Ryan family came to this city from Springfield about Is years ago.
 The car was vacated this morning and the children will live at the home Tof neighbors. The car-house was con Bdemned by the members of the board Hof health last night and it will be de- molished tomorrow morning.
