CANT VOTE AND HAVE BABIES, TOO It's Pathologically and Function, ally Impossible, Declares Dr. Max G. Schlapp RAGE SUICIDE IN BALLOT BOX Dr. Schlapp Tells Women at. the Col ony Club That Increased Activity on Their Part Threatens tho Ex tinction of the Species. New York City. Tho trouble -with a woman who wants to vote Is that she is too katabollc. It Is a pathological condition. The moment you, if you are a woman, develop katabollc char acteristics (which moans maleness) to any pronounced degree you want the ballot nnd won't be happy till you cet It. Dr. Max G. Schlapp, of the Cornell University Medical School, told col lective woman at the Colony Club that the gaining of the vote meant depopu lation of the cradle through the un eexlng, not virtual but physical, of the mother of the race. He regards It as a disease. His scientific exposition of the prin ciplesthe katabollsm involved was the climax of the "antl" arguments, which have heretofore contented themselves with the assurance that woman could not bear arms for her country like a man. But Dr. Schlapp'a assertion is the reversal of this prop osition. She iray go to the ballot box clothed with feminity and emerge a Dr. Mary Walker. The more activity, the more maleness, the speaker insisted. Dr. Schlapp explained the "conpuga tlon" of cells, one (the female) being large, well nourished, inactive. The other (the male), uses up all Its en ergy in functional activity, and is small. If a sponge were cut in pieces, said the doctor, each piece is capable of reproducing the whole organism. As groups o cells become specialized from special functional activity they lose their power of reproduction. They have no energy left for that. "Fertility diminishes as we rise in the animal kingdom. There Is an an tagonism between expenditure and genesis," went on the doctor. "Tho worker ant uses all her activity, nnd therefore loses the power of reproduc tion. Tho bat uses a great deal of energy in flying; tho mouse uses lit tle. So wo find tho mouse producing eight to twelve young while the bat produces but one." Ho quoted indus trial statistics In connection with tho birth rate to show the decrease in in fants. "You may say that there Is a psy chical reason for it," he continued. "People don't want more than one or two children, and men don't want them any more than women do. Cut this very thing is a process of nature, Every thought has a cause, and this thought is prompted by the Incrcas. ing activity of women. They are b& coming too katabollc and losing their love of offspring; otherwise this lovo would be stronger than the fear of not being able to provide for their children. The lower animals do not hesitate. "Statisticians contend that the mother love, the lover of offspring, Is diminishing with the greater function al activity. It Is Spencer's own law that Individuation increases at the ex pense of genesis. That is, that there is a loss of the sex quality, of the pro- creative, with Increase in individual activity. The law nolds good In the three factors of growth, development and expenditure. These three are all antagonistic to genesis. "The lowest cell organism, the mon ocell, can produce 170,000,000 of its kind in four days, tho elephant, the other extreme, after thirty years, can produce but one of Its kind in a per iod of approximately five years. "Woman is spending too much en ergy by adding to her functional bur dens, robbing herself of her forma tive powers. What thr individual de votes to activity means so much less potential energy for the generative. This holds good from the monocell to the multi-cell organism." Dr. Schlapp thought it was a pity and a shame that women should have to get out into the world and work for a living. They are the victims of cir cumstances. CARNEGIE ANTI-CHRISTIAN. So Declares Presbyterian Preacher, Who Hopes He'll Be Converted. New Orleans. "Carnegie Is not a friend of Christian education or of tho churches. I hope he will be convert ed soma day." So declared Dr. William II. Roberts, ot Philadelphia, stated clerk of tho Council of the Reformed Churches of America holding the Presbyterian sys tem, in conference here. Beehive In Big Rock. Caldwell, Idaho. A beehive In the solid rock of tho bluffs near Boise riv er bridge was tho unusual discovery made by three Caldwell men. The discoverers of the bees' unusual "hive," Ed Smith, J. L. Maxwell and William Mark, proceeded to blast away the rock with dynamite, and their reward was a largo quantity of honey of fairly marketable Quality. Tho bees. It was found upon investiga tion, had made entry to tho interior sf the bluff through- natural crevices. DI8TRIBUTINQ RARE PLANT. Efforts of Jacksonville Man May Help Perfume Industry. In 1892 Frank Mlra, of Jackson ville, Fla., discovered a twig which seemed to him "i some use to the per fumer. He submitted it to Mr. E. Mou He. of that city, says the Scientific American, who was angaged in the business of extracting essences. The plant immediately interested Mr. Mou lie, who succeeded in producing from It an essential oil. Many attempts on the part o. Mr. Moulle and the United States Departmen' of Agriculture to ascertain the scientific name of the plant finally resulted In its identifica tion as Mentha citrata, a very rare plant wheh is popularly called berga mon mint. From year to year Mr. Moulle has Increased and developed the few plants which he has been able to obtain, and is now engaged in gratuitously distributing the plant for general propagation. We believe that in this manner a very valuable per fume Industry may some day be built up on tho cultivation of this rare plant. The Unprejudiced Observer. A young woman who spends much of her time copying In the Metropoli tan Museum of Art, recently said in the New York bun that a criticism that had helped her a great deal in her work came from a man to whom she took a picture to be framed. As the picture progressed, my friends told me It was fine, she said. Some of the other copyists said it had "value," "character," "good color ing," and ail those things, and even one of the guards in the gallery got real friendly one day. and remarked that it wac the best copy f that pic cure he had seer. 1 began to think that maybe, after all, my several years ot study were beginning to bear fruit. When the picture was finished, 1 took it to the Iramer, where I pick ed out a good frame. The man began to figure on the cost "I'll tell you, miss," he said, after a while, "that frame will come to three dollars ana ninety-tight cents If 1 were you I'd get something cheap er for that picture." Wind-Gsgt for Trains. A singular device for the protec tion of railway-trains crossing a via duct exposed to heavy winds has re cently been om"loytd at Ulverston, England, says Ivor. It. Do C. Ward in Science. It consists of a wind-gage fixed at the west end of the Lev-ens viaduct. When the wind-pressure pressure rcachc s :V2 pounds to the square foot, an electric toutact is made automatically, and bells ring in the signal cabins on each side of the viadu'.t. Upon this, all trains are de tained until the loreo of the wind abates The interruption is tele grapned along the line. In February. i907, a wind velcc.ty of 65 miles an hour was recorder The danger ot very high winds to trains on an ex posed bridge or v!jdUct was tragically Illustrated many years ago by the la mentable Tay Bridge disaster in Scot land. Mark Twain as an Art Critic. Mark Twain's humorous advice to some burslari who broke Into his house the other day proves that he has the faculty of finding humor in the most unexpected places. A friend once took him to see a very beautiful and valuable piece of sculpture. It represented a young woman colling up her hair, and the workmanship was such that the owner's other compan ions stood open-mouthed in admlra tion. "Well," said the host, turning to Mark Twain for his verdict, "what do you think of it? Grand, isn't it?' "Yes, it's very pretty," said Mark, "but it's not true to nature!" "Why not?" inqjirtu every one In surprise. "She ought to have her mouth full of hairpins," reVHeJ the humorist grave ly. Wasp. Passing of Wedding Rings. "Perhaps because rings as simple ornaments are so completely out of fashion few married women wear the symbolic gold band at present," said a fashionable New York manicurist the other day. "Of the several dozen patrons who frequent our establish ment in the busy season every dy not one in six or seven of the mar ried matrons is so distinguished. The fragile looking circle which of past years has gradually been losing some thing o! its solidity is carefully pre served no doubt with other interest ing souvenirs and keepsakes. It is seldom worn." To Extract a Splinter. When a spllntei has been driven deep into the hand, it can ba extracted without pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide-mouthed bottle with hot water, place the injured part over the mouth of the bottle, and press tightly. The suction will draw the flesh down, and in a minute or twe the steam will ex tricate the splinter and the inflamma tion will disappear. The Weather and the Shoe Trade. As long as Vo ground is dry the old shoes do not show their hidden weaknesses and detects, but let a heaty, cold rain, or even a slight snow fall arrive, and theo the almost in visible cracks in the uppers and the worn places in the soles will prove their pregnabillty, and tho rush to the shoe store will amount almost to an invasion. A Formula. Right ideas, backed by persistence and promulgated at psychological mo ments, will gain a foothold and be come a great force for good, no mat ter how determined may be the op position. Detroit News. Saturday Qlght )cilks 07 RRkvVISON RELIGION AND CHRISTIANITY International Bible Lesson for May x6, 'oo (Acts 14: x-28). Religion and Christianity aro not synonymous terms. People can have religion without being Christians. There is any amount of religion in heathen lands. It is only In so-called Christian lands that people can be found who aro neither religious nor Christian. The missionary who goes to heathen lands to preach the gospel, does not have to teach those darkened minds the iuea of worship. In that particular they are all ready for him. The objects of religious adoration are among the mo3t conspicuous things. Heathen Worship. Those lands are full of temples, al tars, sacrifices, priests, devotees. One of the first things a heathen mother teaches her child is to pray. Every home has Its idol god, every trade and profession its patron divinity. They have religion enough in all con science, but their religion is the pro duct of superstition, of 'fear, of lust, of murder, earthly, sensual, devilish. Natural religion everywhere teaches men that they are sinners and that some rite, sacrifice or service is need ed to propitiate an outraged divinity. More Gods Than Men. Greek and Roman mythology, tha Epic of Homer, which was the Greek's Bible, reveals to us the heathen mis interpretation. As we read these pages we see gods and men, not quite in equal numbers, mingling in the fray, and sweeping in bloody combat about the walls of fated Troy. In that ancient world each fountain had its nymph; each brook its naiad; each wood its dryad; each wind had its presiding god. and a deity was at tho beginning and end of diversified hu man experience. The sea was heaved by them, the earth teemed with them, toe air swarmed with them. The uni verse, as they knew it, was believed to be filled with deities, inferior and superior: and every natural occur rence which they could not explain W3.i supposed to be a direct interfer ence of tho gods. Vast amount of rc Hg'on, but no Christianity. When the npostlc Paul was on his first missionary journey he came into contact with this phase of natural re ligion at the city of Lystra. Having performed a miracle in the healing of a cripple there the priests and tho people straightway jumped at the con clusion that he was a divine being in the guise of a man. They surmised that Barnabas, on account of his per sonal appearance was Jupiter himself, and that Paul was Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. And there fore, before the apostles knew what was on foot the altar of sacrifice was prepared, the garlands were Woven and the oxen were being led out to sacrifice. They said, "The gods have come down to us In the likeness of men." Become Like Their Gods. But the character of their religion was speedily shown up. For the mo ment they discovered their ludicrous mistake they turned upon the men they were just about to worship, and permitted their Jewish enemies to stone Paul to death. The extremely pious worshippers of Jupiter one mo ment, became a riotous, murderous lynching party the next. It was gar lands of roses at first; it was the stones of the highway, maledictions and curses the next. Religion, nat ural religion stretches out itB hands in the darkness, feeling after God, but it has no answer for the soul's cry for help, it has no transforming power over the soul. They become like the gods they worship. But Paul was not the first, nor tho last man, to realize the shifting na ture of public opinion. Many a preach er knows what it is to be fawned upon at first and scratched later on. Nothing is too good for him at his coming; nothing is too harsh for him at his going. In one sermon he can make life-long enemies. In one trans action he can accumulate a stock of animosity that is exhaustless. Men wno refuse to wear the world's gar lands, must expect to feel the world's cruelties. Public Opinion Weathervane. Public opinion is like a weathervane which whirls about whichever way tho wind blows, and has no other property than to point out its direction. Such considerations should cause us to properly estimate its value. No man should be puffed up when garlands are woven for his brow, and no man should complain when he is made the target of abuse. Paul had not the least idea that he had any godlike qualities when they said he was cer tainly Mercury, the spokesman of Jupi ter and he had no words of harsh vituperation when they said he was a fraud, an imposter, and dragged his mangled body through the streets. We shall all get along better In this life, if we put the world In Its proper place, neither puffed up with Its flat tery, nor depressed with Its power. If we keep on food terms with the Cre ator and our own hearts, we need not fear the effect either of adulation or condemnation. Let the wind blow high or low, let It be a warm, south summer zephyr, or a midwinter bllz sard, It Is all tho same. There are none of us yet who are either gods or I demons. Liquid Helium. In his recent experiments with the liquefaction of helium. Professor Onnes ..erformed a labor of the most exhausting description. "Not only," wo aro told, "waB the whole apparatus, with its subsidiary arangements, test ed to its utmost capacity, but the phy sical energies of the professor and his assistants wcro well-nigh exhausted by the prolonged struggle." This Is likely to givo to most readers an en tirely novel idea of the labors ot the laboratory. When the absoluto zero is approached the obstacles that havo to be overcome in order to lower the temperaturo a few degrees are Im mense. The boiling-point ot liquid helium is four and one-halt degrees Centigrade above absoluto zero. By great effort the temperature was re duced to three degrees, but without affecting the mobility ot the liquid. Facts About the Jews. The number of Jews in the entire world is approximately 12,000,000 scattered among all the nations of the earth. Of this number, about 2,000,000 are In America ha'f of these In New iork; 190,000 in Chicago; 100,000 in Philadelphia; 80,000 in Boston; 50,000 in St. Louis, and the rest distributed chiefly in other large cities. In an area of a single square mile in New York is a popul tion of more than 400,000 Jewish men, women and chil dren. The Jews almost control the wealth of the world. In Germany, nearly one halt of the rich people are Jews. Six sevenths of all the bankers of Prus sia are Jews, wnlle only one In 586 is a day laborer.
