county. Clarence Darrow. DR.. John
f. Neal of Rhea County Frank B
McElwee of Tennessee and Bainbridge
Colby of New York are the attorneys
signing the petition.
1t is claimed by the petitioners that
the anti-evoiution law of Tennessee
violates both the Federal and State
constitutions. In view of the fact that
the threat has been made In some
quarters to force through Congress al
it's next session a Federal law con
forming TO the Tennessee law, the
early discrimination of the constitu.
tionality Of the statute to prohibit the
teaching of the theory of evolution may
be of value. The first amendment to
the Constitution says: Congress shall
make no law respecting the establish
ment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press,
etc. Freedom of speech and of religious
worship are guaranteed the people
throughout the country, in Federal
and State constitutions. The oppo-
nents of the anti-evolution law main
tain that it seeks to prevent such free
dom and to force upon the people a
religious belief.

The fact that the ku klu1 klan has

Strict commands have been given to
the members of the organization to

The Tennessee Law Attacked.

OF Tennessee have taken the offensive.
They charge that the enforcement of
The law prevents the proper education
OF the children in the modern sciences
TO test it's constitutionality, a petition
for restraining order, preventing the
State officials from enforcing the anti
evolution law, has been filed in the
Federal Court at Knoxville.
The case is in contrast with that
charging John T. Scopes, the young
school teacher who was recently tried
in the State court at Dayton, Tenn.
and found guilty of violating the law
In the Scopes case the teaching OF
evolution was attacked. In the new
case the failure TO teach the theory OF
evolution as an important link in the
modern sciences is assailed
Furthermore, the new case, which
was filed by attorneys for j. R. Wilson

fiye children who attend the public
schools, gives promise of more speed

A Hard Winter Predicted.

An astronomer-priest in Paris pre-
diets a hard Winter. Indeed, he fore
casts the hardest Winter the world
has known for 1856 years. No oldest
inhabitant'' can check up on his
prophecy, for it goes back more than
twice the memory age of the Oldest
of men. This theological meteorologist,
Father Gabriel, who Is attached to
the Paris Observatory, bases his pre-
diction upon a study of the lunar
cycle. He has found that the lunar.
solar cycle of 744 years is divid.
ed into two phases of 372 years
each and four periods Of 1876 years
each. The weather, he declares. fol-
lows these periods. and the Winter of
1885 will coincide with one Of the
latter. Going back into history and
reading the works of poets and other
writer's. he finds that the Winter OF
1740 was one of the severest known.

Airplane in War.

Floyd Gibbons in his vivid pictures
of the Riff war describes the supply
ing of heleasured French post from
the air. The post is out of water, and
French airplanes are trying to supply
the deficiency with ice. Thirty sacks
were dropped the other day, of which
10 fell within the post.
q picturesque episode, and signifi-
cant for Americans as well as for
others; perhaps especially for us, for
in no country are there more civilian
dogniatist on the art of war preach
ing the miraculous efficacy Of new de-
vices, especially the airplane. No peo-
pie are so ready as we are to listen to
theorists er Quacks or to think that
wars can be won by some special nov
city without the, trouble of fighting or
of maintaining armies Victory by
pressing the button is the speciality Of
our civilian prophets, who can figure
out to their own complete satisfa ction
that airplanes and gas bombs will
make swift end of armies, cities and
nations.
But thee French airnen who could
only land Is ice sacks out of 80 in Ain
Bouassa probably are not so sanguine.
The Riffs had no modern anti.aircraft
equipment and the French planes
could fly low. But rifle fire and light
artillery kept them far enough up to
sacrifice half their ice.
Planes are invaluable accessories of
the modern army. They will be used
with increased efficiency in future
| wars, and SO will gas, and subsurface
craft If there Is naval action. But
| they are not substitutes for armies or
navies, ands never will be.-Chicago

This Winter, he says, will be its equal
in intensity of cold and frequency of
storm.
This Is no "goose-bone prophecy.
Father Gabriel has sounder basis
for his pessimistic prediction than the
''meld' Of slaughtered pigs the flight
of migratory birds, the state of the
bark on the trees or any of the other
activities or manifestations of nature
in the immediate present. He goes
back to history. The moon has always
been regarded as more or less in
dicative, IL not actually a cause, of
weather phenomena on this planet.
Many natural prophets" make their
own forecasts from the lunar phases
The wet moon" and "dry moon are
familiar indices.
Much progress is being made in
meteorology in the study of solar rather
than lunar influences. The students
of sun spots are discovering relation
ships between these strange voids in
the photosphere of the sun and violent
weather changes on the earth. No
formula, however. has yet been found
to lead to any practical application.
Father Gabriel's prediction comes
at an unhappy time in this country,
with the possibility of a coal strike
threatening a shortage of fuel during
the next cold season. A hard Winter
such as that of 1740 is said to have
been would in any case drain the fuel
reserves, whereas il coal mining is
suspended this Fall a bitter Winter
would, however brief the strike, infiict
keenest distress upon millions of peo-
pie. Let it be hoped that there will
be no strike, and more fervently that

George GRAY.

George Gray of Delaware. whose
death occurred yesterday at Whining

Of the notable Americans. AS Senator.
as jurist, as member of interna tional
commissions, as arbitrator in indus
trial disputes, he measured to the
highest standard. He was a man of
marked intellectual attainments, a.
speaker of force and convincing power,
though never an orator in the sense of
rhetorical efflorescence. He was q
deep student of affairs, always going
thoroughly into every question which
he approached for discussion or action
In the course of the fourteen years of
his service in the Senate he was en-
gagged in many notable debates AS
a Democrat he found himself in 1896
at the parting of the ways on the
economic issue and cast his lot with
the sold-standard wing of his party,
though later he returned to his al.
legiance. But he was never a partisan
in the sense of committing himself to
all party issues. In his service at Paris
as member of the peace conference in
1898 he recognized that a momentous
change had come in national affairs
by the chance of the war. He was not
narrowed by inhibitions of political
Affiliations. Repeatedly he was sum.
moned to serve on commissions to
settle industrial questions, for his
judicial spirit, his capacity for finding
