Figures just made public by the Forest service show that under the new law requir ing 25 per cent of the gross proceeds of national forest business to be paid orer to the state and territories in (which the forests are located, to be used on public schools and roads, the last fiscal years will yield these states $447,063.79. The amounts which go to each vary from J313.6S for Arkansas to more than $55,000 for Montana, The small amount for Arkansas is because the two national forests in ! that state were created so recently thit they have not yet got fairly under way. Oklahoma, with one small i national forest, receives $554; Kansas $664; and the smallest after these is Nebraska with $2,250. GIANT'S BONES FOUND BURIED Man Who Lived on Nuts and Cracked Corn. Findlay. O., Aug. 22. The bones of a portion of a human skeleton representative of a gigantic prehistoric race were found in Blanchard town.shlp when workmen were making excavations for a house. The first portions found were parts of the skull and the lower jaw. The teeth are In excellent condition. They are those of an aged man, who lived on nuts and, cracked corn. This part of the country was where the Ottawa Indians used to roam.

Christian Scientist Makes Reply to Magazine Charges

The following defense of Chistlan Science has been written by Alfred Farlow and submitted to the Boston Poet for publication. To the Editor of the Post: Sir In Dr. Richard C. Cabot's dissertation on Christian Science and its cures, which appeared in McClure's Magazine and which was reviewed in your issue of Aug. 2, he declares: "For if it is true, as stated, on Page 120 of Science and Health,' that 'health is i r,t Tartr hr nf mind! urn- ran th mntprial F.pnses bear rellatie testimony on this subject, of course 'the material senses cannot be trusted when they testify that cancer, consumption, broken bones, or locomotor ataxia have been cured by Christian Science." In reply to this statement, we would say that the evidence of the material senses, in respect to disease, yields un der Christian Science treatment to a higher, better, more spiritual sense of being, consequently the patient does not need to ask the material senses to testify to or confirm the fact of the healing. Further, Christian Science plants it self unreservedly upon the scriptural teaching that all that God made "was very good" and that there was nothing made that He did not make. It denies the actuality of that which seems to exist and yet is no part of the divine economy. Nevertheless, it recognizes the phenomena, of material sense and that sin, sickness and death are quite as real as any other material manifestations. Recognize Existence of Evils. Christian Scientists recognize that these evils and discords exist in erring mortal experience, the dream of mortal life, and call them by the same name that others use, and they recognize that these evils must be grappled with and overcome by Truth. Even a ghost must be explained away. It cannot be overcome by merely ignoring it, notwithstanding the fact that the prop erly informed persons knows that a ghost is a mere apparition, a seeming. not a reality, first, last and all the time. Dr. Cabot declares that he has "stud ied one hundred cases of Christian Science cures recorded in the recent vol umes of the Christian Science Journal" and that "putting together this evidence and comparing it with" his "own experience regarding the accuracy of his own patients' statements about their own diseases," his "conclusions are, first, that most Christian Science cures are probably genuine; but, second, that they are not the cures of or ganic diseases." Incidentally he declares "functional diseases are no more imaginary than an ungovernable temper or a balky horse is imaginary. They are often the source of acute and long continued suffering; Indeed, I believe that there is no class of diseases that gives rise to so much keen suffering." Thus the doctor pays tribute to Christian Science by generously conceding that it heals "real" diseases and destroys an immense amount of suffering. So far, so good. Every Case a Fit Subject. Proceeding, the doctor declares "The sharpness of this distinction between organic and functional troubles is somewhat blurred," and "organic dis ease is oftentimes produced by func tional disease," and "such organic dis ease is often cured by Christian Sci ence." Dr. Alfred T, Schofield, a medical authority, in his well known work en titled "The Force of the Mind," says: There can be no organic disease without some derangement of func tion," while he also declares in agreement with Dr. Cabot, "functional disease may after all be organic at the bottom." Thus in the mouth or pen of two witnesses it is established that every case Is a fit subject for Christian Science treatment, since according to the testimony of these reputable witnesses every person afflicted functionally, and every functional trouble is a fit subject for Christian Science treatment. Without first experimenting with Christian, Science treatment it would doubtless be difficult to determine whether or not a given organic disease has been occasioned by functional dis orders and is therefore according to Dr. Cabot's tLeory amenable toChristian Science practice. Therefore, on Dr. Cabot's authority (alone, we have established the importance of at least experimenting with Christian Science. Dr. Cabot has stated his belief that functional disorders can be cured by Christian Science treatment. Dr. Scho field as before stated, has asserted that all organic diseases produce functional disorders. This is equivalent to saying that every sick person is af flicted with functional disease. Now it is not possible to really cure a disease without going to the bottom of It and eradicating its foundation. Christian Science Cures All. Every case of functional disease having an organic foundation can on ly be cured by destroying its organic foundation. Therefore, on the test! mony of these two distinguished authorities, the fact is established that Christian science cures all kinds of diseases, for it is evident that a functional disorder which originates in a defective organ cannot be cured un less the organic disease is first destroyed, for the functional disorder be ing an effect must of necessity reappear so long as its cause is not de stroyed. Since, as Dr. Cabot declares, the "sharpness of distinction between organic and functional troubles is somewhat blurred," it follows that it is not easy to distinguish between an or ganic and a functional disease, would it be easy to distinguish between an organic disease which is "produced by functional troubles" and one which is nbt occasioned by functional troubles, and to be on the safe side every Individual afflicted with organic or functlonal troubles should avail himself of

Christian Science treatment lest he should be neglecting a means of recovery. The doctor declares that he has grouped the one hundred cases which he has "analyzed" In four 'classes: "First, 72 in which" he finds "on careful study, reasonably good evidence for the diagnosis of functional or nervous disorder.. Second, seven cases of what appears to be organic disease. Third, 11 cases very diffi-

cu 10 ciass, our. prooaoiy ueiuugmg in the functional group. Fourth, 10 eases, resarding the diagnosis of which no reasonable conjecture can be made." Testimonies Verified. May I state parenthetically at this point that the testimonies published in the Christian Science periodicals have all been carefully verified, but that to avoid nourishing and enlarging the thought of disease, it's elaborate description is eliminated from them. These descriptions, which are usually given by those who send in their testimony, .but which are omitted out of consideration for the young especially, give the details of diagnosis and of painful experiences as the result of operations and drug treatment which distinctly emphasize the seriousness of the maladies endured. Hence, in an investigation into the merits of given cases, and into the efficacy of Christian Science treatment for all disorders, whether organic or functional, an examination of the unabridged testimonies would greatly enlarge and strengthen the evidence that upon the basis of expert diagnosis by physicians of the most unquestioned standing, Christian Science must be credited with having proved efficient in healing cases of every variety of ill, whether organic or functional, with which poor humanity is afflicted. What Dr. Cabot means by "careful study" is not stated. Dr. Cabot does not make clear whether or not he made any investigation outside of a mere consideration of the wording of the testimonies. Neither is it stated why the doctor "concluded" that the 11 cases very difficult to class "probably" belong to the functional group. Evidently it was his desire to be charitable to himself and give the benefit of the doubt to his own side of the question. Otherwise he might have said that these doubtful cases probably belong to the organic group, or he might have added these 11 cases to the fourth group, regarding the diagnosis or wnich he declares "no reasonable conjecture can be made." Would Have an Equal Chance. Then the organic class would have ap equal chance with the functional group. Not very long ago, one medi cal authority went so far as to declare that many organic diseases were ner vous disorders. Such an . authority adds still more to the confusion, and we begin to wonder if, after all, our medical brethren know any more about the real nature and cause of the disease than Christian Scientists While we make this statement we are well aware of the ability of our distinguished brethren to make a phy sical diagnosis of disease, and we are not unmindful that in this respect they possess an accomplishment to which the Christian Scientist makes on pretences whatever except what he learns by observation and experience and possibly some reading on the sub ject. But the real question is, after all, what is the foundation of both func tional and organic disorders? If by correcting the mental conditions of a patient both organic and functional troubles are healed, we have the evidence that an erroneous mental condition was the foundation of the disease,, and we believe that ere long Dr. Cabot and all the host of medical men will have arrived at this conclusion and will note the fact that notwithstanding all that is said and done regarding diagnosis the Christian Scientist is accurate in his conclusions concerning the real nature of disease. In any event "probabilities" are not sufficient evidence to the contrary. Statement Carries Hope. The doctor declares "experience shows that when a person has had many doctors, many diagnosis, mariv 'diseases', or many operations, he usually turns out to be suffering from nervous prostration or some nthr form of functional nervous trouble." There are a great many persons in this world who have had many doctors and many diagnoses, many diseases, if not many operations and it is kind in Dr. Cabot to point out the fact that there Is hope for them in Christian Science. Our critic further declares: "A pauent suffering from organic disease rarely consults a Christian Scientist.' To be exact it should be said that thus far very few patients suffering with any sort of disorder call upon: a Christian Scientist until after they have exhausted their hope or their means in experimenting with material rem edies. It is natural that one should not experiment with something that is new and untried so long as the old ways promise results. Those who apply to Christian Sci ence are as a rule those who have failed to recover through medicine, and if it be true that from a medical point of -view organic diseases are more difficult to heal, it is likely that more cases afflicted with organic troubles apply to Christian Science. In my own practice, extending through a period of twenty years, I have seldom had "a patient who was not afflicted with both organic and functional disorders and my success has been more uniform with organic troubles than with those which have been called nervous disorders. Privileged to Explain. In conclusion our critic declares: "Believing, then, as I do, that most Christian Science cures are genuine genuine cures of functional disease the question arises whether the special methods of mental healing employed jby Christian Scientists differ tfOSt

PENNSY'S WORKERS AGED IN SERVICE , Many Chief Railroaders Started as Beginners

Philadelphia, Aug. 22. Of tfie employes of the Pennsylvania railroad in active service, 115 are 61 years of age, 118 are 64 years old, 114 are 67 and 105 are 69. Sixty seven of the 85 principal officers of the Pennsylvania railroad company started as beginners and with "few exceptions, have been with it ever since. Their average age is fifty-one years and the average length of service is twenty-six. HANDLING CROPS IOT BOTHERED Strike on Canadian Pacific Will Not Harm. Winnipeg, Aug. 22. It is believed that the strike f Canadian Pacific en gineers and firemen will not hamper the handling of the western crops. Western wheat will not begin to reach the railroad at any considerable volume for five or six weeks. The crops will probably require 160.000 box cars and there are already 150.000 in the West with a corresponding supply of engines. The balance will sent on as conditions require. NEW INVENTION OF IMPORTANCE Telegraph Machine Transmits 40,000 Words Hourly. London, Aug. 22. The London Fin ancial News records witnessing the practical operation of a new telegraph invention that transmits automatically 40,000 words an hour in writing, It is characterized as ingenious, sim ple and labor saving and that it has evidently come to stay, although must be submitted to further severe test before it is finally accepted for com mercial and other purposes. One test of 100 lines of printed matter proved that the machine could transmit and receive it perfect in every particular in seven seconds. The instrument can be affixed to any wire of the nor mal 110 volts. other methods of mental healing," . . . "that is, by producing in the patient a strong belief that he will get well." Then he proceeds further to describe his belief about a Chris tian Science treatment. Whatever may be said concerning the Christian Scientist's ability to di agnose disease, I believe Dr. Cabot will concede to him at least one privilege, namely, the privilege of stating how Christian Science heMs, since the Vhristian Scientist is at least sup posed to be informed on his own sub ject. To acknowledge the Christian Scien tist's qualification to define his own theory and practice would be no less consistent. It is evident that no one knows quite so well how Christian Science heals as the Christian Scien tist, through whose understanding the healing is effected. No doubt when, under Christian Science treatment, a patient begins to improve, there is produced "in the pa tient a strong belief that he will get well," but to say it is to fall entirely to analyze the modus operandi of the healing. The healing remedy in Christian Science is the realization of the di vine power and presence which II lumines the mentality of the patient and destroys his sense and fear of disease, just as the light dispels the darkness. Other Treatments Differ. Thus the foundation of disease is destroyed and the effects disappear from the body. Other systems of giv ing a mental treatment differ from Christian Science in proportion as they differ from the method just described. A Christian Scientist would not hope to eucceed in curing a. pa tient by the mere belief that the patient will get well, although he is aware that such an encouraging belief is always helpful to a patient. The method which we have described above is not, as Dr. Cabot affirms, "after Quimby." Doubtless our critic's surmise is due to the fact that he has misunderstood the teaching and practice of Christian Science. Mr. Quimby, according to many reliable witnesses, never recognized God in his treatment of the sick. Mr. John Chapman, a well known and reliable citizen of Bangor, Me., who knew Mr. Quimby intimately, said that he never talked about God, he was not a religious man in any sense, though a good man morally and a good citizen. Df. Cabot declares: "I believe that a good many warped minds. Just as a crooked spine, may be helped by a sharp twist in the other direction." This being true, the doctor would logically be obliged to admit that the last twist must be in the right direction, otherwise it would not be corrective. ALFRED FARLOW. The Twilight OfUf.

Copyright. I9O0. by (Continued From Friday.) i 01 CHAPTER XXIX. . U. CLEGG was not long in convincing Graydoa that his proposition to him was sincere and not the outgrowth of sentiment. A dozen men in the office greeted Gray don with a warmth that had an uplifting effect He went away with a heart lighter than he had once imagined it could ever be again. In two weeks he was to b in absolute control of the New York branch. He assured the firm that bio physical condition was such that he could go to work at once If necessary. As he hastened to the Annex mis givings again entered into his soul. The newspapers had heralded his return and had hinted broadly at ro mantic developments In connection I with Miss Cable, "who is at the Annex i with Mr. and Mrs. Cable." There were brief references to the causes which sent both of them to the Philip pines, and that was all. Without hesitation he came to the point by asking if she knew what had befallen his father. Jane had beard the news the night before. lie thereupon put the whole situation before her just as It bad been suggested in Droom's Ironical remark. It was not until after the question had been passed upou by Mr. and Mrs. Cable that she reluctantly consented to visit Gray, don's father solely for the purpose of gleaning what information she could regarding her parentage. They left the next day with Eliaa Droom, depressed, nervous, dreading the hour ahead of them. Neither was in the mood to respond to the eager, excited remarks of the old clerk. The short railroad trip was one never to be forgotten; Impressions were left in their lives that could not be effaced. James Bansemer, shorn and striped, was not expecting visitors. ' He was surprised and angry when be was told that visitors were waiting to see him. For four weeks he had labored clumsily and sourly in the shoe factory of the great prison, a hauler and. carrier. His tall figure was bent wltbTunusual toll, his hands were sore and his heart was full of the canker of rebellion. Already in that short time his face had taken on the look of the convict. All the viclousness In his nature had gone to his face and settled there. He had the sullen, dogged, patient look of the man who has a number, but no name. The once dignified, aggressive walk had degenerated into a slouch. He shuffled as he came to the bars where be was to meet his first visitors. He was not pleased, but he was curious. Down In his heart he found a hope that his attorney had come with good news. It was not until he was almost face to face with his son that he realized who It was, not until then that he felt the full force of shame, ignominy, loathing for himself. He started back with an involuntary oath and would have slunk away had not Graydon called out to him called out In a voice full of pain and misery. The convict's face was ashen and his jaw hung loose with the paralysis of dismay. His heart dropped like a chunk of ice: his feet were as leaden weights. A look of utter despair came into his bard eyes as he slowly advanced to the bars. "My God, Graydon, why did you come? Why did you come here?" he muttered. Then he caught sight of Jane and Ellas Droom. His eyes dropped, and his fingers twitched. To save his life he could not have kept his lower Hp from trembling nor the burning tears from his eyes. His humiliation was complete. A malevolent grin was on Droom's face. His staring blue eyes looked with a great joy upon the shamed, beaten man in the stripes. The one thing that he had longed for and cherished had come to pass. He had lived to see James Bansemer utterly destroyed even in his own eyes. "Father. I can't believe it I can't tell you how it hurts me. I would willingly take your place if it were possible. Forgive me for deserting you," Graydon was saying Incoherently when his father lifted his face suddenly, a( fierce, horrified look of understanding in the eyes that flashed upon Elias Droom. Even as he clasped his son's hand in t.h? bitterness of small Joy his lips curled Into a snarl of fury. Droom's . eyes shifted Instantly, his uneasy gaze t directing" Itself." as usual, above the t head of Its victim. "You did this, curse you!" came from the convict's livid Hps. "And this girl too!

She's not seeking vengeance." "I'll talk to you alone," said the prisoner- shortly. "Send her away. I've nothing to say to her or Droom." Jane turned and . walked swiftly away, followed by Droom, w ho rubbed hi long fingers together and tried to look sympathetic. The interview that ensued between father and son was never to be forgotten by either. Graydon heard his father's bitter story in awed silence; heard him curse deeply and vindictively; heard all this and marveled at the new and heretofore unexposed side of his nature. There was something pathetic '-m the haggard face and the expressions of impotent rage. His heart softened when his father bared hi9 shame to him and cried out against the fate which had brought them together on this day "It doesn't matter, father," said Graydon hoarsely. "I deserted you. "You did this, curse you!1' came from the convict' $ liviil lip. and I'm sorry. No matter what you've done to bring you here, I'm glad I've come to see you. I don't blame Ellas. For awhile I'm afraid I rather held out against coming. Now I am glad for my own sake. I won't desert you now. I am going to work for a pardon if your appeal does not go through." "Don't I won't have It!" exclaimed the other. "I'm going to stay It out It will give me time to forget o that I can be a better man. If they let me out now I'd do something I'd always regret. I want to serve my time and start all over again. Don't worry about me. I won't hamper you. I'll go away abroad,' ns Harbert suggested. His advice was good, after all. Understand. Graydop. I do not want parole or pardon. You must not undertake it I am guilty and ought to be punished the same as these other fellows In here. Don't shudder. It's true. I'm no better than they." "I hate to think of you in this awful place." began Graydon. "Don't think of me." "But I've seen you here, father!" cried the son. "A pretty spectacle for a son," laughed the father bitterly. "Why did you bring that girl here? That was cruelheartless." Graydon tried to convince him that Jane had not come to gloat, but to ask a favor of him. "A favor, eh? She expects me to tell all I. know about ber, eh? That's good!" laughed Bansemer. "Father, she has done you no wrong. Why are you so bitter against ber? It's not right It's not like you." Bansemer looked steadily at him for a full minute. "Is she going to marry you, Graydon?" "She refuses absolutely." "Then she's better than I thought Terhaps I'm wrong in hating her as I do. It's because she took you away from me. Give me time. Graydon. Some day I may tell you all I know. Don't urge me now. I cont do It now. I don't want to see ber again. Don't think I'm a fool about It. boy. and don't speak of it again. Give me time." "She is the gentlest woman in the world." "You love her?" "Better than my life." Graydon. I I hope she will change her mind and become your wife. "You do? I don't understand." "That's why I'd rather she never kVnd know wbo her parenfs'are. The sadow is Id visible now. It wouldn't help matters for her if it were visible. She's better off by not knowing. Has Droom intimated that be knows?" "He says he does not" "He lies, but at the same time hs won't tell her. It's not In him to do it traitor. He knew I'd go over the road anyhow. He's been waiting for this day to come. He has finally given me the unhappiest hour in my life." After a few moments be quieted down and asked Graydon what his plans were for the future. In a strained, uncertain way the two talked of the young man's prospects and the ad--antages they promised. ' "Go ahead. Graydon, and don't let the shadow of your father haunt you. Don't forget me, boy, because I love yon better than all the world. These are strarc -words or. a Juan, who has

They can't take my money from me, you know. It's all to be yours, every cent of It. You see" "Father I let us not talk about It now." said Graydoa hastily, a shadow of repugnance in his eyes. Bansemer studied his face for a moment and a deep roJ mounted to his brow. "You mean. Graydon," he stammered, "that you you do Dot want mv money Y' "Why should we talk about It nowt "Because it suggests my death?" '"So, no, father. I" "You ueed not say It. I understand. It's enough.

UNITED STATES BOATS ARE BEST Three Scout Cruisers of This Country Are Superior. London, Aug. 22. In commenting upon the steam trials of the three American scout cruisers, the Birmingham, Chester and Salem, the naval expert of the London Times says that as matter stand the United States navy possesses for the moment the two swiftest most powerfully armed, and best sea-keeping scout cruisers afloat In the Chester and Salem. He says that the advantages resulting from the use of steam turbines with which the Salem and Chester are fitted at full power, were well Illustrated hi the trials and that the turbines gave aa Increase of 1.62 knots In speed, and in indicated horse power of nearly 5,600 IL P.. or about 36 per cent, with a small economy in coal consumption.
