Meteor'a Train Photographed.
The most remarkable photograph of
a meteor trail that has yet been taken,
so far as we know, was recently repro
duced In L'Astronomle. The meteor
was seen from many poinU In South
Africa about 6 p. m. on June 2, 1912.
In broad daylight, and the trail that
it left behind remained visible until
sonle time, after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph, which shows the
trail as an Immense, serpentine ribbon
In the western sky, was taken at
Temple, Orange Free State, about an
hour after the passage of the meteor
with a "court train."

SHELLING GERMANS AT OSTENDE
Thin in ih first nlcture ever taken
action. The picture reveals a British naval secret These monitors, with
their 15-Inch guns, have a range equal to that of the Queen Elizabeth. Only
one gun is mounted on a ship and. the advantage lies In tuo fact that moni
tors are about one-tenth as expensive as dreadnaughts, and the long range of
the gun enables them to keep out of reach of tbe German land batteries.
This monitor Is bombarding the German naval base at Ostende. Retalrita.

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.
"I have believed In the regulation,
not the prohibition of the liquor traf
fic," saye Dr. Lyman Abbott, "but the
action of liquor dealers has made
regulation Impossible."
The secretary of the Ohio Temper
ance Union (a ll-juor organization)
wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a
letter which could bo used In the state
prohibition campaign. Doubtless he
Is sorry he did it. The reply came as
an open letter In the Outlook and Is
a severe arraignment of the saloon as
a lawbreaker. Its law-defying pro
pensities have, in the judgment of
Doctor Abbott, been its undoing. W
quote:
"The American people are charac
teristically conservative and slow in
coming to a conclusion. But they are
coming to the concluBlon, though
slowly, thut the American saloon is
not only a local nuisance but a na
tional calamity and are resolving to
abolish it.
"The question is not, Is beer a use
ful article of food?
"It Is not, Is moderate drinking
wrong?
"It is not. Does the Bible prohibit
or permit moderate drinking?
"Thcso Questions tho people would
nrefer to leave each Individual free
to determine for himself.
"But they are not willing to leave
each individual to determine for him
self whether the laws enacted by the
rommunltv shall be obeyed, mat
miration the community will decide.
and It will suffer any Inconvenience.
any deprivation, which may be neces
sary to secure such obedience. This
Is the meaning of the present prouioi-
tory movement. . . .
"But If the people are compelled to
choose between an unregulated and
lawless liquor traffic and the prohibi
tion of the liquor traffic, I do not
doubt that they will choose prohibi
tion. If we cannot reform the saloons,
we shall abolish them. And If we can
find no other wav to abolish them, we
shall abolish the distillery, the brew
ery, the winery and the Importation
of liquor from abroad."
SALOON AND LABOR PROBLEM.
We make no claim that a closed
saloon will settle the labor problem;
we do not believe it will. V e do ainrm
that there never will be found a solu
tion for the labor problem that Ignores
the saloon and allows It to continue,
whether run by the Individual or by
the brewer for profit or run by the gov
ernment without profit. Labor cannoi
carry 200,000 rum shops on Its back
and prosper under any system.
The kingdom of labor will noi nave
come when the door of the saloon Is
shut; there will still bo industrial
wrongs to right and other economic
problems to solve; but the largest sin
gle Immediate contribution toward
that consummation, the swiftest relief
that can be applied, Is the abolition of
the liquor traffic In the United States.
It Is the one thing that as the barrier
to all other reform must be removed.
To. very son of toll who Is ground
beneath the millstones of low wages
and high cost of living, we have but
one message. "In the name of Cod and
home and native lund, rise up and vote
for prohibition." Clinton Howard.
ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.
The following resolution was passed
by the International Congress on Tu
berculosis, held in Taris, at which
some 2,000 medical scientists were
present: "That In view of the close
connection between alcoholism and
tuberculosis, this congress strongly
emphasizes the importance of combin
ing the fight against tuberculosis with
the struggle against alcoholism."
At the International Alcohol Con
gress at Bremen, Professor Segran, a
distinguished Frenchman, said that
the use of alcohol predisposes the
system to tuberculosis and also pre
vents cures. The real individual and
social treatment for tuberculosis con
sists in the strictest total abstinence
from alcoholic liquors.
OBJECTS TO LIQUOR DEALER.
My objection to tho llQuor dealer Is
the same as my objection to the bed
bug. For all I know, the bedbug may
be entirely above reproach, so far as
his social relations are concerned. He
may be regular In his religious duties,
gentle in his home and prompt In pay
ing his bills. He may be frugal and In
dustrious and blameless in every civic
duty and domestic obligation. He may
be kind to his wife and children, ,
obliging to his neighbors, generous to
the outcast and worthy of the vote of
his congressional district But my ob
jection to him Is the way he gets his
living. T. Alexander Cairns.
NO "MEDICINAL" WHISKY. '
Alcohol puts to sleep the sentinels
that guard your body from disease.
Policy holders are warned against ad
vertisements extolling the virtues of
whisky in disease. The callous cruelty
of such advertisements lies in the fact
that they appeal to the very people
who are most injured by the use of al
coholsufferers from rhoumatism,
chronic kidney disease, nervous sub
jects, etc. Ttero Is no such thing as
"medicinal" whisky. Froms Bulletin
No. 6, Issued by the Postal Life Insur
ance Company, New York.
INDIANS WANT PROHIBITION.
The Society of American Indians,
meeting in annual convention at Law
robco, Kan., unanimously adopted a
resolution calling for the enforcement
of all antlllquor provisions in Indian '
treaties and declaring for state and
national prohibition. The resolution .
was made a part of the platform ot
the association. ..
