GARDEN OF EDEN NO MYTH

Discoveries of Science Give New As- _ pect to Biblical Story of the Fall of Man.

ot all the results of the physical investigation and radioactive ' discover fes of recent years, none is more remarkable, according to the distinguished Prof. Frederick Soddy, lecturer in physical chemistry and radioactivity at the University of Glasgow, than tha new aspect imparted to the story of the fall of man and the garden of Eden. It-lg difficult to resist the inference that the Bitlical account of Adam and Eve rests upon a {>undation far more scientific than has hitherto been suspected, this idea being supported more and more, as Prof. Soddy believes, by the widening applications of the latest interpretation of radium. It is true, adds Prof. Soddy, that some of the bleliefs and legends which have come down to us from antiquity are so universal and deep-rooted that we are acustomed to consider them almost as old as the

THE REAL OR THE SIMULATED

| Popular Actor Discusses Question | as to Whether Real Tears Should l Be Shed on the Stage. % In T. P’'s Weekly, London. appears { the first article on “The Actor's Cate Ic‘mxm." by Robb lawson. To the question: e e = "Do real tears come into vour eves when acting & seene of pathos or Ptragedy, or are they merely <imnlated? - Some actors claim that real tears do come, but .mig!zt not this lessen self-control?* 7 © Arthur Bourchier sent the followIng interesting reply: v “With regard to the question you raise, my humble opinion is that the actor should feel the emotions he s endeavoring to portray; but that he should always be master of those emotions i{f he is to create the effect aimed at upon the senses of his audience. Unless this is so, a scene of great emoction, for ‘instance, may be, to the actor, complete abandonment, will appear to the audience the ridiculous rather than the sublime,. : “The curious difference in temperament of nations was brought home to me some vears ago while witness. ing a very fine performance of Sar

race itself. One is tempted to-day, on the other hand, to inquire how far the unsuspected aptness of some of these beliefs and sayings to the point of view so recently disclosed in physics is the result of mere chance or coincidence and how far it may be evidence of a wholly unknown and unsguspected ancient civilization“of which all other relic has disappeared.—Current Literawure. : : - Women Not Allowed to Pray. _ In some parts of the world the women are not even allowed to pray. Certain Hindu congregations deny their momen this privilege and among the Afnus women can pray only in very rare cases as thepdeputies of heir husbands. The natives of Madjgdscar, however, stretch a point and permit their women to intercede with the powers of evil, but prayer to their Supreme Being is strictly a masculine prerogative, .

DIAMOND GOSSIP.

Cincinnati has acquired three youngsters in Pitcher Ashley of Enid, Pitcher Brennan of Wichita, and Outfielder Patterson of Guthrie, Okla: . The sale of Tommy Atkins, southpaw, has been announced by Manager Smith of Atlanta to the Philadelphia Americans, the pitcher to report at the close of the present season.: It is understood Philadelphia will give Atlanta a player and considerable woney to boot. '

None of these teams {s regarded as a “oneman team.” Yet one man on each has been almost entirely respon gible for the suecess of each Krause, generally regarded as the find of the year, comes from St Mary's college of Callfornia. Out there he was regareded as a great pitcher in the college class, but few "of hia friends ever dreamed that he would sonr to the height he has attained this scaron-—and the vear only half gone It has been claimed that Krause owes much of his present position 1o the fact that Hal Chase, premier first Lbaseman of the New York Highland. ers, while a coach at the Catholic institution on the coast, took special interest in the young fellow and showed him a Jot of tricks. Later in the Cal ffornla State league Krause got some experience and is belng polished off nicely now under the guidance of that slesk old basedall general, Cornelius MctGilllicuddy, popularly known as Connte Mack. - . NEW PLAN TO SETTLE THE - WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIPS Idea Is to Substitute interleague Series for Present Method—Would increase interest in Game. The National and American leagues, the- controlling forces of organized bascball and the major leagues of the counlry, are contemplating & change of schedule and & new plan which, it t 8 sald, will revolutionize baseball The idea, which bas met with InAtani approval in all directiops. is to abandon forever the “world's champlonship” contests between the winners of the two major leagues and substitute a general engagement between the teams of the National and American leagues in a grand championship series to follow a shortened season for the two leagues. = ; The proposed change almost has been forced upon the major leagues because of conditions arising from the keen fight for pennants, which give the victorious teams in each league the right to engage in a post-season series. Further, the cry of such a prize has brought the club owners and the men who control baseball to realize that the honesty of baseball itself is threatened, and to avert this danger they are evolving a new scheme to decide the championship—and one which seems to solve the problem. . ' It is proposed, and the two leagues probably will be called upon to. indorse the proposal, that the National aud American league clubs arrange a schedule of 105 games, each of the eight clubs in the two leagues playing 15 games against each of the other clubs. e . : ~ The magnates of the two leagues are somewhat loath to discuss the scheme, aithough most of them admit that the new scheme looks satisfactory.

While several papers have been claiming that the Cleveland club has secired first baseman Hugh Bradley, of the Waorcester team of the New England league, Manager Fred Lake bas closed a deal for this player and he reports to the Red Sox at the end of the New England playing season. Jim McGuire, veteran scout, thinks he has found a gem in Pitcher Boiles of Shreveport. He thinks he is even better than Harmon, reeenu&egmbbed by St. Louis and who beat -Giante a few days ago.

MARTIN LUTHER --- The Peasant Who Conquered an Emperor

Two men were riding through a German forestt Ogne of them was John Tetzel, a monk, who had been sent by Pope lea X to peddle “iddul weuces through Germauny. The other was a stranger Tetré! had met on the road a few holrs befors. The monk was explainipg to him how to pay for ‘rebuilding St Peter's esathedral inp Rome the pope was selling at graded rates fickets or parchaients which als solved the purchasers from guilt for his varfous sina. Tlese parchments wera known as indulgences” “1 wish to dommit a robbery” ob gerved the stranger. /Wil you asil me An umumd for what price?” : : ' ~ The sale was quickly made At ita conclusion the stranger proceeded to overpower Tetzel and rob bim of every 'mma“bh* ke pomsessed. Then he rode away sale and happy in the knowledge that his sin was forgiven in advanece : This incident ralsed a laugh all over Germany. " But two men did ot laugh One was Tetzel and the other was a young peasant who had. been educated for a lawyer apnd who W the disgust of his family, bad become a priest. This peasant-priest was Martin Lather, father of freedom of thought and f{ounder of the Reforwmation, ) Religion had during the ffteenth century - become far degraded from the pure principles of the Catholic church of to-day and from the original : hily precepis of Flood Tide of 1. chureh. The , Corruption, . o¥ils | Rrontoled in thiz article have no refersnce to (rue Catholicism, but to its abuses by unscrupulous men ,in the Dark Ages Luther, shurt!?l ‘before this affair of Tetzel's, had gone on a plous pilgrimage to Rome. What he saw there had horrified him and set bim to thinking. Then came the public sale of indulgences. This was the last straw. When Tetzél eame to Wittenberg Luther shocked and amazed the whole world by palling on the door of the church where the monk was to preach a paper which declared the foliowing truths: : : : That such Indulgences as Tetzel sold were worse than useless: that God alone can forgive sin and no mortal bas the power to peddle divine pardon: that true repentance alone | ecan wash away guilt; that indulgences were money-making schemes, and that no one can buy his way into the king—l dom of heaven. ~ i Europe was aghast at such new, strange theories. The plain people read them and began to think for themselves. When once a People begin to think, Tyranny’'s course is run. The nobles, too, espoused the peasant's teachings and were eager to
