Is THE KAISER ANTI-CHRIST?

One Of the city ministers yesterday
delivered a sermon on the coming
ti-Christ, during which he referred
to number Of scourges Of the genus
homo class which have from time to
time appeared in this world, beginning
at Nero and ending with the Kaiser.
Some who have studied the. differ
ent passages in Scripture which refer
to the appearance of the anti-Christ
suppose the establishment Of the Ro-
man empire will take place in the
latter days, and that the aHi-Christ
bearing the name Of Caesar will ap-
pear with it.
The ancient Greeks spelled Caesar
k-a-i-s-a-r; we spell the title of Ger
many's ruler K-a-i-s-e-r 1t will be
seen that there is but one change, an
De for an "a".
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
Germany has discarded Christianity.
Of course the world has known that
she discarded its practice in 1914, but
now she has thrown off all pretense at
being Christian nation ana has
adopted all sorts of substitute relig-
ions.
The fluctuations of the fourth year
of war have produced an extraordi-
nary crop of strange cults in Hunland
in which the most decadent forms Of
immortality have been Enthusiastically
CARRIED in the abandoned shreds Of
genuine faiths.
Morality, truth and honor are abol-
ished and all those restraints which
bind normal communities together are
dispensed with.
The most popular of the new
'erSatz" religions Of Germany is that
created by Ludwig Reuner, a Leipzig
pam German, who has set forth the
tenets of his "faith" in book which
has already passed through two eai-
tions. 1t is entitled German Nature
Worship; A Religion Based on scien-
tifc Grounds"
In its preface the pan-German au-
thor declares:
"a really German religion cannot
emanate from the international Chris
tendon that is foreign to our nature.
The n.odernizei German religion, for
example, has no use for prayer as it
is generally conceived. This will be
replaced by certain physical and
spiritual movements of various de-
scriptions, such as systematic morn
ing exercises, additions and baths,
deep breathing and holding of breath,
singing, dancing, the reading of beau
tiful poems. and the contemplation OF
distinguished works of art, exercise
in will control, mutual auto-suggcs-
ton among the whole body Of devot-
ees and so forth"

FREEDOM CAUSE OF INSANITY
Mental Disease Prevalent in Russia
After the Revolution Is Termed
mass Psychosis."

. The Russian revolution has produced
mental disease which is character
lied by Prof. P. J. Rosenbach, presi-
dent Of the Association of Phychiatr-
lists, as 'smass psychosis." In other
words, the birth Of political freedom
has been driving many persons insane.
1t. is a mistake to- assume that war
makes sane men mad, according to
Professor Rosenbach, who says that
during the war he has treated between
5000 and 1000 insane soldiers, but
that in no case did he discover that
the victims mental affection had been
caused by war horrors or privations.
During the first month of the revolu-
ton the rate Of morbidity from mental
disease rose to an astonishing extent.
Professor Rosenbach inquired into the
victims antecedents and found, he
says, that these men and women had
been entirely normal and that they did
not come from tainted families. He
ascribes their sudden insanity to the
sudden and drastic changes in Russian
political, social and intellectual life.
One of the: symptoms of ~"mass psy-
Ghosts" he says, is 'infatuation with
committees, delegations and demon,
STATIONS Similar phenomena were
observed during the French revolution
after the war. Of 1901, Professor
ROsenbach observes. =

GROW POTATOES FROM SEED
Experts Of University Of Washington
Use White Fruitirg Berry Which
Has Almost Disappeared.

In an effort to restore the old-fash-
Toned potato seed, an experiment is
being made in the garden of the Uni
versity of Washington. The white
fruiting berry of the potato, which was
found everywhere q generation ago
and has now almost disappeared, was
used to plant a patch, and the fruit
Ing potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der Of potato tubers in the usual way,
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have
developed from the seeds. The object
in seeking to produce potato seed
again is that crossing of strains can
be secured in this way, leading to a
more wholesome condition Of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertiliza-
ton, and the same strain Of potato
will in time give out. -.
The experiment is being conducted
under the direction of Assistant Prof.
John w. Hotson of the department OF
botany.

Why Should We Wash?

Why does a boy object to washing
his neck and ears? Or object stilE
more seriously to having them washedF
I have evolved scientific and psyche
logical reason which is complete an,
swer to the question, but I prefer to-
answer it by making a personal confess
sion based on my own boyhood expert
ence, says Edwin Fuller in, the Moth
ers Magazine. As small boy, OBJ
jected to washing my own ears because
l could not see the dirt and because Il
believed it unnecessary waste Of time,
which might be used more proftably
in play ;and I strenuousfy objected to-
my mother performing the operations.
because she always hurt me.
Il There is no period Of the boys life
more trying to the parent than thes
period between eight and twelve, ex-
cept only the age of early adolescence.
The chief characteristic Of early boy
hood is individualism. He now recog~
nizes himself as an Individual entity
not correlated to society at large. He
feels no obligation to humanity be-.
cause he does not yet realize that he is,
an integral part Of it. His individual.
ism manifests itself in selfshness an&
self-centeredness. =

NEED WINTER COLD
Exposure TO Low Temperature Is Re-
quired to Prepare for Another
Period Of Growth

The role of winter cold in plant
growth has recently been described by
DR.. r. v. Coville. After the period Of
growth in spring and summer there Is
q period Of dormancy before cold
weather sets in, and if plants are MAIN
tanned artiicially at high tempera-
ture this dormant period persists. Ex-
posture to cold is needed to activate
the plant for another period of growth.
Perhaps the liberation of engines acts
on the stored starches, converting them
into sugars, or the phenomenon may
be due to change in the permeability
of the cell membrane.
Though normally the stimulus re-
CURED for renewal of growth is sup
piled by cold, mechanical injury or
period of drying may have the same
effect. The process occurs independent
" in any exposed part of a plant, so
that if one or two branches of plant
is kept continually warm while the
other is subjected to the usual winter
chilling, the former will not develop on
the return Of summer temperatures,
though the latter develops as usual. It
would be interesting to learn what
stimulus takes the place of cold in the
equatorial regions.

Russia's Platinum Production.

: The production of platinum in the
Ural district in Russia in 1916 is esti-
mated by a correspondent of the Lon
don Mining Journal at only 1854
troy ounces, against 1O7,774 ounces in
1915; 156774 ounces in 1914, 173,642
ounces in 1913 and 1881 ounces in
1912. The decrease last year extend
ed to nearly all the districts, but was
most marked on the Demidov estates
and the Shuvalov placers. The short
age of labor has been one of the causes
of the decrease. The fact that all
crude platinum is now requisitioned by
the government has led, it is believed,
to the concealment Of some quantities,
so that the figures given are below the
real output. A considerable quantity
of crude platinum is understood to be
held by Russian banks, which adj
.vanced money to the producers before
the metal was taken by the govern
ment. '.. ,-> - !

Cave Men in America.

The cave man has long been sup
posed to have lived only in the old
world, and If the term is used to mean
the very primitive species of homo
sapiens,. this is true. Explorations
made IN Kentucky this year by scien-
lists of the American museum, how
ever, show that primitive men did live
in caves in America. In the Mammoth
cave and others they found unmist ak
able evidence that the mouths of the
Kentucky caverns We're used as. dwell-
ing places and that the Indians ex-
splored the caves and mined quartz in
them. This is especially interesting
because it is known that Indians did
not live in this region after it's discov-
cry by white men. The American
cave dwellers, therefore, must have
belonged to an earlier period.

NO NEWS FROM THE SOLDIER.

RIGHT

Although the failure to receive let
tiers from the men in the service is not.
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage mo news is good
news never was more true than at.
present. The report of every cas-
ualty at home or abr ad is Immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there with.
out loss OF time to the emergency adj
dress Of the soldier or sailor affected.
1t is also at once released for publica-
ton in the newspapers. No news.
of casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has been
urged, on the contrary, to keep in touch
with relatives and friends. The forces
in France have at their disposal post
cards giving general information in re-
gard to health and the receipt of letters
and parcels, which may be dispatched
without payment of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail in
tended for soldiers and sailors reaches
them promptly. Where the regiment
and company designation Of soldier
is not known it may be secured by appli-
cation to The Adjutant Generals Office,
Washington, D. G. In one week ], 674
