New York has decided there is

Don’t eat too much and don’t
wear too many clothes,” is Lhe
advice of Dr. Wiley’s successor
who does not know much about
Alaska, where folks eat all they
want and whatever clothes are
most comfortable. The advice
may be all right for the dwellers
in less-favored sections of the
nation.
Political endeavor in North
Carolina now seems to be largely
confined to a general effort on
the part of the majority of the
male population to become con
stables or deputy sheriffs. The
old States now has a search and

take a man’s lick r fi:nm him and

HUGO ON THE INFINITE.
Beyond the Visible the Invisible, Be
yond That the Unknown.
In Victor Hugo’s “Intellectual
Autobiography” the great French
man writes as follows of the infinite
after asking what vehicle shall be
adopted to cross the spaces of the
universe: “The locomotive travels
fifteen leagues an hour. The hurri
cane travels sixty leagues an hour.
The cannon ball travels 700 leagues
an hour. The locomotive drags;
the hurricane limps; the cannon
ball is a tortoise. Let us bestride a
ray of light. This is a mount 4,000
times swifter than the cannon ball,
4,200,000 times swifter than the
hurricane and 17,000,000 times
swifter than the locomotive. It
makes, as you know, 70,000 leagues
a second.
“Start. Light launches you from
the earth to the sun in eight min
utes, from the sun to Oceanus in
four hours, from Oceanus to Cen
taurus in three years and eight
months, from Centaurus to the pole
star in twenty-eight years, from the
pole star to the Milky way in 16,800
years, from the Milky way to the
nebula of Canes Venatici in 5,000,
000 years—you have not yet taken a
step.
“The apparitions of the universe
will continue to loom. The unsound
able will remain before you in its
entirety Beyond the visible the in
visible, beyond the invisible the un
known. Everywhere, everywhere in
the zenith, at the nadir, in front,
behind, above, below, in the heights,
in the depths, looms the formidable
darkness of the infinite.
“What, then, is there back of all
this? Nothing, say you? Nothing?
What! I, a worm of the earth, am
possessed of an intelligence, and
this immensity is without one ? Oh,
pardon us, Abyss of Infinity!”
