Canadian City Clerk also Says
Earth is Stationary.
NO LAW OF GRAVITATION
Ja Willing to Debate the Question
With Scientists. Earth Rests on
Water Not Air.
It ia asserted that on the Niagara
Mnlneula, five out of six persona be
lieve that the earth we live on In flat
and not globular. The chief exponent
t this theory is John S. McClelland,
eltjr clerk of St. Catherine's, formerly
editor of a dally newspaper.
Mr. McClelland Is well educated and
as made extensive study of astron
omy. After much Investigation he
concluded that the earth la flat, and
rests on water Instead of air; that
the sun Is no bigger than It looks to
(be naked eye, and Is only a few thou
Mod miles above the earth.
The earth, Mr. McClelland thinks,
la stationary, while the sun travels
back and forth above it Tho uun'a
Intensity is not sufficient to light the
whole earth at once, and thus when
It tit at one end of the world the
other end is In darkness and night
la accounted for.
Mr. McClelland points to the fact
that the sun and moon are both seen
ahinlng at the same time, as unassail
able evidence that the earth ia not
bail-like In shape.
He scouts the gravitation theory.
There 1b no such thing as gravita
tion, he contends, and he asserts that
the theory is merely an Invention of
astronomers to bolster up the super
stition, as he calls it, that the earth
la a globe.
As for the moon, Mr. McClelland is
oonfldent that it is not more than 600
miles away. The theory that the stars
are as big as the earth is pronounced
altogether ridiculous. The moon's
light, he points out, is of a phosphoric
character, not at all like that of the
sun.
Mr. McClelland Issued a challenge
recently to members of the Royal as
tronomical society, living in Toronto
art Hamilton, to meet him on the
public platform and publicly discuss
with him the question whether the
earth is round or flat, and not one
at the astronomers has seen fit to re
spond. Then Mr. McClelland posted an of
fer, and it stands to-day, to pay $100
tor a single proof that the earth is
round like a ball. No one has yet
oome forward with the proof.
Believers in Mr. McClelland's the
ory can't understand why the astron
omers don't come forward if they have
any evidence that the earth is a
globe.
Palling In his attempts to get up a
debate with astronomers, Mr. McClel
land Is going to give a lecture in
Hamilton on astronomy, and he has
rarlted Toronto and Hamilton astron
omers to take seats on the platform.
It any of them accept the invitation,
M hopes to get them to discuss the
question publicly.
A week or so ago Rev. Dr. Marsh, a
Hamilton astronomer of some repute,
was advertised to give a lecture there
m the planetary system. Hoping to
able to get a word in somewhere,
Mr. McClelland Journeyed to Hamilton
ud attended the lecture.
When Dr. Marsh and his friends
"iaard that he was in the hall, they
foiled his plana by taking up all the
Ime themselves, and Mr. McClelland
lidn't get a chance to say a word.

The Elephant a Nurse.
A woman in India tells this story of
ui elephant's skill as a nurse "Thou
wt hungry doubtless, big mother,"
naid Remml, emerging presently from
the hut with the baby in her arms.
"Ishta, beautiful elephant, take care
it baby; I am going to see to your
Mnner." She put the little restless
"irown bundle down on the ground, be
tween' Ishta's two feet. Then she
"etched the earthenware jar of un
taxed red clay and filled It with live
"Aarooal, setting it down to get heat
id through while she mixed flour and
water Into dough. With the skill of
frequent practice she spread the
rough mixture three or four Inches
thick all over the outside of the jar.
While the dough was slowly baked
by the heat from the. embers Inside,
Ishta patient and docile, as was her
wont, cared for the baby, jgently re
straining the little truant, who would
have crawled away.
Now and again, when the baby limbs
moved quicker and achieved a few
paces of freedom, Ishta's trunk would
carefully wind round the little body
and lift it back to safety between the
huge barriers of her feet, and the tip
would gontly pet and fondle away
baby's frctfulness and Impatience at
control. Hour Glass.
Panama's New Coat of Arms.
Panama, the new republic, has a
coatof-arms which consists of a shield
surmounted by an eagle, in whose
beak the ribbon upon which Is writ
ten the motto of the State, "Paz, Lib
ertad, Union, Progresso" (Peace, lib
erty, union, progress). Below, on the
upper part of the shield, side by side,
are the Implements of war and of
peaceful occupations.
Below-this, occupying the central
place, Is a land and water view, the
site of the canal; the fruits of the
liurrrst and a rushing train on a track
fill up the point of the shield. Flags'
drape It on either Hide and stats sur
mount the eagle.
Of course a ship Is a "she." Wa
have often heard of "ladyships."

WATCHING A NAVAL BATTLE.
Disappointing When Considered as a
8pecUcle.
One of tho most disappointing
things In this world is to witness a
naval battle," said an old-time war
correspondent who was preseut at
Santiago when Cervera's fleet was de
stroyed. "To most persons a fight at
sea means an unearthly, ear-splitting
cannonade, accompanied by flashes of
lightning as if a ship were turned
into a volcano and followed by a pall
of black and white smoke that extends
fur away to the horizon across the
blue sea. As a matter of fact there
Is precious little of all this.
"At a distance of a mile from the
scene of the fighting, about all the
sounds heard on water Is a succes
sion of dull thuds very unlike the
crash of giant guns and cannons fired j
ashore. Aboard a battleship In ac
tion of course the din Is something 1
unearthly; but the point I make Is .
that the sound does not carry for a
cent at sea, and that a man on top
of a mountain three miles off will hear
more noise of a sea battle than the
fellow who Is at sea and only a mllo
off.
"About the only magnificent Bight
afforded by the modern battleship In
action is the tongues of flame as they
leap out of the throats of the great
guns to the accompaniment of puffs i
of white smoke. When a big gun is
fired tho smoke belches forth like a
cloud of steam, shaped for all the 1
world like a big, snowy balloon.
"To prove what slight noise Is
heard from a gun at sea, let me tell
you an Instance when our press boat
was chased by a Spanish gunboat that
was firing at us for an hour without
us knowing It. We were off Havana I
during the early stage of the Spanish
war, and were cruising back and forth
one night, praying for something to
happen, when about three of four ,
miles off we made out the red and
green side lights of a vessel that
seemed to be moving head on In our
direction.
" 'Do you B'pose that fellow 1s fol
lowing us, or do you think he Is Just
doing patrol duty?' I aRked the Cap
tain. wen nna out. pretty quick, was
the answer, as the prow of our steam
er was headed about and we started
on a new tack.
"Out of the darkness from the di
rection of the gunboat came a flash
of lightning.
" 'We're going to have a storm, I
think, I remarked to the Captain. 'Did
you see that llghtnlngT
"We kept our eyes peeled for the
storm and were watching the gun
boat, which had changed Its course,
proving that It was heading for us,
when a second flash of lightning came
out of the darkness.
" 'We're going to get something
worse than a storm If we don't look
out those dagoes are firing at us!
said the Captain. 'We haven't a light
aboard, but they can keep track of
us by the smoke out of the funnel.
I should say they were about three
miles off.'
" 'Can't you get a bit more of a
wiggle on you?' I asked, anxiously,
'Seems to me they are closing up on
us.'
"They were closing up Indeed, and
the worst of It was that our coal was of
little use for steaming purposes. The
Captain called the steward, who said
he had eleven cans of lard that might
be helpful, and lard In that climate
being like so much liquid oil we took
tt below and threw it on the coal,
and it sent up a blaze that reached
like a torch clear out of the top of the
funnel. But we got steam up In great
shape, and we were able to go fifteen
knots to the Spaniard's ten. When
he saw us getting away from him he
brought his. ship broadside to and
fired about everything he could point
at us as a parting salute. We could
see the flashes of lightning as they
leaped out of the guns, and we held
our breath for a minute or so, but
even with the discharge of a broadside
we never heard a sound."

Gold In Manchuria,
In Manchuria gold has been found
along the Amur river and its tribu
taries In the north, on the Sungarl
and Its tributaries in the center, and
In the Chang-Palshan mountains and
the IJaotung peninsula In the north.
There are ' also many Isolated gold
fields. The Chinese government has
always tried to suppress gold mining
in Manchuria, partly from superstiti
ous reasons and partly because the
Chinese fear the Influx of the gold
digging communities. AH the gold
fields are a government monopoly, and
they have been up to the present
worked In a roost unprofitable man
ner. Good authorities believe that
Manchuria may some day rival Aus

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG.
IN LONDON r10VN
ilj young Southern cousin and I
were doing the National (lallery. We
wore In tho Turner Room, surrounded
by those pictures for nil the world
like a series of Inverted sunsets.
I was wenry with the task and turn
ed toward ft seat with a hope of per
suading Adelo to rest a bit, when my
eye fell on the occupants of two
chairs nearest us.
Kvlilently two of l-ondon's smnrt
set. They had reached, a crisis. Tiy
what ways they hml arrived 1 cnuM
not guess. They were utterly oblivi
ous of their surroundings. She wns a
dainty Mt of a woman, awfully ehlc
in appearance, very little, pretty,
fitted out better than even Hand's
street's best, lie was rigged as Sun
day's Prayer Hook Promenade In
Hyde I'nrk would find him. He was
a man who had lived. She was a Mt
(rrny over the temples, as lf,a powder
puff had been tapped on either s!d
of the pomp:ulour above her high-bred)
little face.
Ho snt sldewtse, his arm over tho
hack of his chair; she rested her fore
arm against the back of her chair
and her hand lay in his naturally, as
a lotus bud rests upen Its element.
The man did not even close his hands
over hers. The touch of their souls
was too close for them to need or
heed material contact.
A second, and the eye took In the
details of this living picture. I gave
a gasp of surprise of sympathy.
"What's the matter?" asked A dole.
My eyes carried hers to the two.
"It's their dilemma," I said.
"Nonsense. They are too old for
romance," declared Adelo with the In
souciance of youth.
They were of my own time nnd gen
eration, but then I myself felt some
what the worse for wear.
"Thst's the very little woman wo
saw yesterday as we came from our
sail to Greenwich. I remember the
peculiar shade of that gown."
The same woman, but I had not re
called her face until A dele spoke. I
had not noted the tint of her gown.
Somehow tho remembrance of the
look of her face against the gray
stones of the pier made me feel as if
I were weaving the web of some story
about the dainty little creature. The
thought made me feel more weary. I
sat down In a nearby chair.
"Adele," I snld, "if you are going
to do that Hogarth cuddy yonder go
by yourself. I will wait here."
I sat thinking of a crisis of my own
to which I had come long ago, when I
heard the little woman say:
"It must end, Hugh. Yesterday
when we came up from the river, you
know we passed a poor girl crouched
on the stone steps. You hurried me
on when I would have stopped to give
her a shilling or two. You said: 'You
roust not even breathe the air with
such.' We were gay with our gay
companions, all laughingly hurrying
from the rain. She do you recall her
face? Where do you suppose she is
now?' In the river?"
I recalled the girl. Such passive
despair. I, having had no one to ore
vent me, flung her a sixpence or two.
But that girl wanted a richer gift
than any in that passing crowd had
for giving. She wanted Death.
"What docs the girl matter?" said
the man; "what is she to us?"
"You would not let me give her a
Shilling she gave me "
"Gave you?"
"Sight of her gave me Insight,
Tlugh. Gave me sight of myself.. I
am as she Is "
"Dorothy." The pain In the man's
yolce was acrid.
"In the sight of our world in sight
of heaven, Hugh, we have done no
harm, unless loving be so; but, Hugh,
the spirit of the law! I keep saying
over and over to myself, 'I am as sho
la"
The man said nothing, but I would
not have worn his face then for a
block of Standard OH stock.
"It must end, Hugh we met too
late. Ove and over I keep saying:
I am like her like her."
"Come, old poke," cried Adele, com
ing toward me, for she had done tho
shrimp girl and the marriage a la
mode series In short order. "Take
me away back to that Madonna of
Carlo Dolcl's with the dear bright
flowers, but never mind, so old, so
tired"
"I swear I am but forty.
"I will go with you, will let your
old liones get a little rest."
So we went.
As we went toward the great Iron
gates our view of I.nndseer's lions was
obntructed by a glittering trap, the
restlessness of the two splendid
horses attracting notice of the pass
ersby. Said one.
"Lndy Dorothy Lumley's."
I had a name for the heroine of
my new story that was a-weavlng.
Two days later I read in the Times:
"Died of heart failure, I,ady Dorothy
I.umley, wife of ," and the rest
of It. )
It gave me quite a turn and I
should have sat all day with only
my pipe for companion, moaning over
the death of a woman I had seen but
twice, but that . Adele had tired
of all London had to show and craved
now a certain American wild flower
Southern, at that.
I thought I knew a little shop
where, if anywhere except along its
own Alabama brooksldes, it might be
found. So we started on our search;
Adele, at my side, teasing to be pet
ted and prettily homesick, for Adele
was pretty at anything.
Arrived, Adele was In her element.
She found among tho flowers new
friends and greeted old, but could not
discover her calycnnthus.
As I waited, enjoying her Joy In the
wealth of blooms, I heard' an address
alven: "Lord Lumley's, 50 Grosvenor
street." Startled, I turned. Was thnt
dainty little ghost of a woman going
to haunt me?
One of those perfect relets, next to
speechless before his employers, lo
quacious with his kind, was ordering
to the given address heaps of I'.llcs,
white pwslon (lowers and what not
all that crmld be found In the ccld
candor of snowy scented Wossnnilrg.
"Says my muster, says 'e: 'Get the
best.' Oh, 'es it great 'un. Vp'n go
with I'lm If 'e don't change Ms mind
first. A day ago it wits h-.mci'':ca. nnd
'lm going to 'unt mountain lions In
New Mexico. Now, to-day, It's h iff
to the wars, It Is."
"Gentleman In Uliakl ordered South,

"Gentleman goin' South. No cturjro
this tie. 'K Just stopped me in
hour parkin' long enough to rend nie
'ere. and, says 'e: 'Get the best." Oh,
'e's a great 'un. Sir Hugh flavoring."
The hero of the Btory that was a
weaving hml found a niiine.
Tho little shopman, elated to very
unsalepmanllkc zeal by Allele's Joy In
his collection, with utter disregard of
his own business or knowledge but
he should let thnt of others alone
was about to present to .'jdele the rest
of my d:iy, by telling her that sho
could gain sight and scent of her
long-ed-for bloom at Kew Gardens.
Just as the lead of cool, white
blossoming splendor left the shop
Adele said she was ready to go, and
she -came up and clasped both hands
about my arm, and I knew that monut
Kew Gardens.
Two years later I wns back In Lon
don where all the world crowded to a
coronation. Hut I came at Audio's
bidding.
She was to be married nnd 1 must
come to look upon the man of her
choice. She had been taken by nn
erratic father to all sorts of outland
ish places since I bad pilotoj her
over London. The father wjs an old
Confederate general whose hill ucres
had turned to a set of co.il mines,
and whose lowland plantations were
about to sprout oil, while two new
railroads had seen lit to cross them
selves and uprear a city on his private
"wild lands."
The shallow of Rig Ben fell a-near
us as we watched together. Adele and
I, the Ixnidon crowds welcoming home
the South African soldiers.
In the procession the mnn who,
next to Lord Kitchener, looked the
most tired of all the noise and 'blare
of applause, happened to look our way.
As his eye fell on us his face lit
with the flashing of a uniquely pleas
ant smile. Adele caught my arm and
waved In her other hand a bit of
lawik and lace: "Look," she said,
"that is he whom you must love for
my sake, that Is Hugh."
I looked at the man's face, and
recognized Sir Hugh Clavering. I
turned to look at Adelo. She had not
the least recollection of that incident
of two years ago In the National Gal
lery. I wondered had he.
I asked myself: "Is that dainty lit
tle ghost of a woman going to haunt
me?" Martha Young, in New Or

Barbarous Punishment.
It was sixty years ago that Eng
land abolished flogging at sea; it has
long been abolished in our ar,my and
navy; and now the Czar of Russia has
abolished the harshest remnants of
the barbaric punishments of former
times, namely, castlgatlon with cud
gels and cat-o'-nlne tails, chaining to
the car and shaving the head, which
were still Inflicted for certain of
fenses on persons exiled to venal
settlements or to the mines. Castlga
tlon with the cat-o'-nlne tails and
even with cudgels not infrequently
ended In death, and was one of the
harshest forms of the death penalty,
being death by torture. The altolition
of the cudgel and of the "cat" does
not, however, mean the prohibition
of corporal punishment altogether.
The revised statute of June 13 pre
scribes chastisement with birch rods
up to 100 blows. Barbaric punish
ment can be Inflicted by birch rods, If
not as severely as by "cat" or cudgel.
The better way would be to abolish
punishment by flagellation altogether.

The profit of a gold mine depends, not on
the amount of rock crushed under the stamps
but upon the amount of gold which can be
extracted from the rock. In a similar way
the value of the food which is ealen does not
depend on the quantity which il taken into
the stomach but upon the amount of nourish
ment extracted from it by the organs of
nutrition and digestion. When these organs
are diseased they fail to extract the nourish
ment in sufficient quantities to supply the
needs of the several organs of the body, and
uicse organs cannot work without nourish
ment. The result is heart "trouble," liver

Business Men May Havi lo Abandon Pre
miums bjf Drawing.
It is extremely likely that busi
ness men who are in the habit of
attracting trade by distributing
coupon tickets with each purchase,
each ticket n chance on some valu
able premium, to be given away by
drawing, will have to abandon this
method of bringing business to their
houses, for the postal department
is tightening the lines about them.
Krie has received a great deal of
attention along this line during the
past winter, and the different mer
chants' and business men's organi
zations are seeing that the matter
is not allowed to drop out of sight.
The post office department has
ruled that such drawings are clearly
violations of the law, and that all
publications carrying advertise
ments of such schemes shall be
thrown out of the mails.
Merchants generally maintain
that the so called " lottery " is legal
as when used to simply bring busi
ness and when no money is taken
for tickets which are distributed.
Town Betterment.
A Western Community Btsuhfied by School
Children.
livery summer a village improve
ment society in a western commu
nity has the school children assist
it in making the town attractive,
and the plan has proved a big suc
cess. The day the public schools
close members of the society visit
them and organize a junior associa
tion among the children, and prizes
are offered for the best work done.
Kight awards are offered first,
second and third prizes of $5, $3
and $2 respectively for the greatest
improvement in the back yards,
and the same for front yards to the
middle of the street; 53 for the best
window box in a home where there
was no ground to cultivate, and $5
for the largest number of contribut
ing members added to the club.
The children do all the work of
the yards. About fifty children
enter the lists. Visits are made by
members of the club about July 1st
to the houses of all the enrolled
competitors and conditions carefully
noted. Suggestions for laying out
and planting the gardens are also
made. Rounds are again made be
fore the opening of school to note
the change.
By this plan there is a general
cleaning up of back and front yards,
the lawns are cared for and flowers
are to be seen everywhere. The
plan can be tried in any community
in the land to good advantage.
The Deadly Hat Pin.
Did you ever notice a bevy of
school girls with their jaunty hats
perched on their heads and nine
tenths of them with pins projecting
beyond their hats for several inches?
The great mystery is that more
than one eye has not been gouged
with these instruments of torture.
A crusade among mothers would
not be a bad thing against the use
ot hat pins, or if they must be used
get them of a length that will
answer the purpose and not project
to a dangerous length beyond the
hat. The old fashioned rubber
hat tape used to fill the bill nicely
without injury to the scalp of the
wearer or menace to persons they
come in contact with. Mothers,
before we have the sight of some
of our little ones ruined and eyes
disfigured look out for the hat pin
and see that it is not of unnecessa
ry length.
