RADICAL. DR.. GRANT.

The case of Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant. rector of the Church of the AS
cension, New York, represents strange
case of misguided energies. This high
ly gifted Episcopal minister chose to
enter the field of civic or political re-
search. He had very definite ideas
about government, freedom of speech,
and the like. To this end, with the
view of giving the public sort of al
truistic ideal of how to be free in
free country, he instituted sort OF
open forum Sunday nights in the main
auditorium of his church.
AS might have been expected, the
radical element of the great city soon
fiocked to the meetings and it did not
take long to find them ultra radical,
Socialistic and generally against the
government. DR.. Grant looked on in
apparent approval, himself turning
loose upon occasion some Of his own
radicalism.
The deportation of Emma Goldman
and Berkman, her free-lOving cO-work-
er in anti-government Nihilism, brought
from the rector a protest that shook
the foundation of his diocese. He
thought it crime to deport these hell
hounds, and compared their labors with
that of the Pilgrim Fathers in it's
way. This brought the matter before
Bishop Burch of the Episcopal Church
and he set about the plan of rebuking
Dr. Grant, and putting a stop to the
use of the Church of the Ascension
for radical discussion. This has finally
been effected, but it is not entirely
closed as an incident. DR.. Grant has
always been vehement critic of pub
lie affairs and is scarcely to be salts
fed with a compromise adjustment
with his bishop. He doubtless will
have the thing to so rankle in his
bosom as to force him into the open
again before a great while. Once the
seeds of radicalism are sOwn in man
of his temperament it will require a
mighty revulsion of conscience and hui
mility to eradicate them. DR.. Grant
is not yet whipped, but he has con-
WINGED many of his unfitness for the
ministry of Gods word in the Episco-
pal Church.

What is weather caused by, any
how? Nobody really knows. We have
a taking old profit" near who insists
that our terrestrial supply of weather
is caused by the angle at which the
light rays of the moon strike the earth.
If they come straight we have it warm
in winter, hot in summer. If they
come with more of a slant there is cor
responding cold. But it all comes from
the moon. OF course, there is no way
of proving anything of this sort, which
all seems ridiculous.
There are many other theories of
how weather is caused, but no one
really knows what is what. Some
people believe the climates change in
certain places, but there is no anthem
tic proof of this The "old-fashioned
winters are just as liable to recur at
one time as another What our fathers
saw we may see, and what we have
experienced they may never have
heard of And so it goes. The best
way to look at whatever weather we
have is to take it as it comes. Of one
thing we may be sure, we cannot
change it, so what's the use of worry.
It is the infinite knowledge box"
however, who gets on our nerves.

Three Witches Of BeIvoir.

Here are their names: Anne Ba-
ker. Jeane Willimott, Ellen Greene.
And, above all, here is the name Of
their cat, "Rutterkin." For by means
of Rutterkin they entered, said they,
into communion with familiar spirits.
These three witches, who lived in
1918, were the confidential servants of
the earl Of Rutland at Belvoir castle,
England. They had a grudge-today
we should say 'grouch"-against the
earl and determined upon revenge.
They managed to pluck a hair from
the head of a member of the family,
and they burned it for i'll luck. They
securely made off with the glove Of
the earl and rubbed it on the back Of
Rutterkin to call down bodily harm
on the gloves owner. They were be-
lieved to have accomplished the death
of the earl's son, through frightening
the boy, and they were tried at Lin
coin, condemned, and burned at the
stake for the crime of "witchcraft."
At that era the question of witch
craft" was stalking through the world.

THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Munsey
will make a success out of his newest
journalistic venture in the union of
the Sun and New York Herald Pos
sibly he sees his way out of the mar
riage of these old newspaper proper
ties. Judged by all of the traditions Of
the press, however, he has no easy
task ahead. At the same time, no one
can tell If one judged their future by
the first issue of the combined papers
it would be truly wonderful. Adver-
Users of the metropolis almost fell over
each other getting into the newly
hyphenated publication. Whether the
combined total was as much or more
than the two ordinarily averaged is
not yet stated. 1t is a question if this
could be maintained even if the first
issue more than doubled what the two
generally carried Sundays. 1t is the
steady pull, and the final proof of the
pulling powers of the combined papers,
that will tell the story. Mr. Munsey
appears to have made a success of the
two "Suns." His reception by the edi-
torial fraternity over the country has
been unusually favorable from every
angle. He is putting the faith of the
American public to a severe test, how
ever. But is he? Why should not the
name, peculiar as it is, be as nothing
at all compared with what the new en-
terprise makes of itself?

AMERICA STILL GIVING.

The mails daily bring to so unim-
portant a publication as The Pail
sadian a perfect flood of all sorts of
propaganda appeal, embracing about
every thing that can be named Many
of these communications are put out
by various organizations that are still
engaged in war work, others come
from various departments of the Unit
ed States government, including the
treasury department.. This latter ap-
peal is one of patriotic endeavor to
educate the general public to the habit
of saving, and to aid in the work of
production. The cost of all the litera-
ture must be enormous, for when
small publications are daily heaped up
with these appeals. the total all over
the country must be an item that no
doubt runs up into millions. Much of
it is wasted, of course, because it
would be impossible to print the hun
dredth part of what comes in. Every
mail brings something of this char
acter. Relief organizations for Euro
pean countries form large portion of
Ilo dppcdiS
This country must indeed be fabu-
lousy rich, for when these requests
for aid go out, each section of a state,
or county, is given liberal allOt-
ment, and generally the quota is lib
orally subscribed, most of the times
over-subscribed.
When the millions that have been
given to war purposes is considered,
and other millions to church and edu-
cational purposes, besides other char
tiles, one marvels what spirit rules in
this land of untold wealth. Before
the war none of these tremendous sums
would ever have been thought of,
such as $16,O00,00O for Harvard Uni
versity, or $140,OOO,0O0 for the Metho-
dist Church, of $42,000,000 for the
Episcopal Church, and other similar
sums recently donated to other relig-
ious denominations, all intended for
the uplift and publication of the

Two new vegetables have been
propagated at the Missouri botanical
garden at ST. Louis, it was announced
by DR.. George L. Moore, director of the
garden.
One has been named the "arraca-
cha" and the other the "dasheen."
Both resemble the potato and are said
to be about equal in food value to 1t.
Doctor Moore explained the arraca-
cha, when cooked, is a bit darker than
the sweet potato and tastes like the
parsnip. 1t is rapid grower, he said.
Dasheens, cooked in cream, taste
like caulifiower, and when baked have
the flavor of a roasted chestnut. Doc
tor Moore amplified. They are related
to the Egyptian taro, commonly refer
red to as the elephant ear" Doctor
Moore said.
The announcement was made to del
egates who attended the convention OF
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, which ended
recently.

Films to Replace Books.

Motion pictures will take the place
of textbooks in schools and colleges,
according to Thomas A. Edison, in an
interview recently. 1.-THE only text
books needed will be for the teachers
own use," declares the inventor Of
the motion picture camera. "a great
film library of educational and indus
trial subjects should be built up in
Washington. Then these films could
be issued on the rental system to all in
situations in the United States, even
to the most remote rural schoolhouses,
and the system could be so operated
that it would pay its own way" AS
sorting that anything which can be
taught to the ear can be taught better
to the eye," Mr.. Edison continued:
"The moving object on the screen, the
closest possible approximation to real
ity, Is almost the same as bringing
that object itself before the child or
taking the child to that object. Film
teaching will be done without any
books whatsoever. The only textbooks
needed will be for the teachers own
use. The films will serve as guide
posts to these teacher instruction
books, not the books as guides to the
films" BY making 'every class room
and every assembly hall movie show,
100 per cent attendance" will be as
sured, Mr.. Edison says. "Why, you
won't be able to keep boys and girls
away from school then"

Ancient Town Rearises.

monastic community of dervishes
belonging to the Dede sect, who set

soon after the capture of CONSTANT
