AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
A Calamity Cry.
In a recent sermon, a New
Jersey minister made a state
ment that sounds quite famil
iar, as follows:
“There is lawlessness every
where. Children no longer1
obey their parents. It is evi
dent that the end of the age is i
at hand.’’
Then the pastor told his con- ■
gregation that the words were
not original with him, not even
an utterance of the present
day. They were translated
from an inscription on a brick
found in the ruins of ancient
Assyria, dating centuries be
fore the time of the patriarch
Abraham.
Records which have been pro
served during all the periods
of recorded history give evi
dence of similar conditions ex
ing in the world. Sometimes
an improvement is noted;
again lawlessness and violence
become more prevalent than
ever.
While present day conditions
are bad enough, it seems on ■
the whole that they are bet-ter
than in the past. There is
more thought given to the re
lief of suffering, to the better
ment of industrial conditions,
to mutual helpfulness and like
matters of benefit to humani
ty than in former times. Al
though the world war ga\e
civilization a severe set-back in
some respects, we must remem
ber that war has marked the
history of every generation of;
mankind. The same is true of !
lawlessness, oppression and ev
ery other manifestation of im-;
morality. These will always
exist in greater or less degree,
so long as good and evil strug
gle for mastery in the hearts
and minds of men.
Sun May Cool Off
—
For man years astronomers j
have speculated regarding the j
possibility that some day the
sun will have exhausted its
heat and become cold. Dr. E.
L,. Trevine, president of the
Mexican Astronomical Society,
is one who holds this view, ar.d
points out that thousands ot
now extinct suns are known to
have existedin the dim past.
In lectures at the University ol
Edinburgh, Prof. A. S. Edding
ton also expressed the beliel
that the universe is slowly run
ning down, although he ad
mites the possibility that the
heat thrown off by the sun and
other stars may be gathered
again in some manner to form
new suns.
In any event, Old Sol appear; j
to be good for a billion yean- !
or more, so his ultimate end j
has little practical interest foi j
us. But it is fascinating to con
template what may be the fin- i
al fate of mankind when, if!
ever, our solar system begins
to undergo a marked change,
such as these asronomers pre
diet.

Light Versus Frogs
Once more science has come
to the aid of man in his efforts ;
to overcome the obnoxious j
habits of certain species of the i
animal kingdom.
A hotel in Pasadena, Cal.,,
has among its attractions some
sightly lily ponds, but these
became infested with frogs,
whose nightly concerts were a
great annoyance and kept the
guests awake. After offering
bounties for all frogs captured,
hiring riflemen to shoot them
and exhausting all his ingenu
ity to rid the ponds of the noc
turnal nuisance, the manager
began a scientific study of
frog psychology through read
ing all the books he could get
hold of which might givs an
insight into their habits. His
researches revealed that frogs
sing, or croak, only under the
cover of darkness, go he ar
ranged for the illumination of I
:he lily ponds by electric I
lights.
Now, the story goes, the
Progs, baffled by science, sit
dumb, vainly awaiting night’s
curtain of darkness, while the
guests slumber in peace.

Laborers
Many white collar folks are
ashamed to labor manually and
not a few affect to consider
those who do as somewhat be
neath themselves. Yet Christ
was a carpenter, Paul a tent
maker. Even most modern par
venus and self-nominated in
tellectuals will concede that
they were quite superior peo
ple.
