Raleigh Correspondent in Charlotte Observer. HeavsD And Hell. Various Theories as to the Location of Paradise and Hades. Hell and heaven beliefs had their origin about the year 150 B. C., and since that time there have been thousands of at tempts to locate these places, the one of future punishment and tlie other of everlasting hap piness. The old media? val idea of liell is the one which gives us to understand that the devil and his imps'have their furnaces and their caldrons . and other articles of infernal utility con stantly working somewhere within the bowels of the earth. .On the other hand, we are told and believe that heaven is an i . i i i i . ' i -. auoue oi ngnt, oeauty and joy located far above the earth. One writer believes that heaven will be on a. planet which will be prepared for the saints in the last da and another be lieves that this earth, burned over and purified by fire, will be the final resting place of those who -escapo the 'horrors of perpetual punishment in the hell that has been prepared "for those who love sin." Dr, Winston, the friend of Sir. Isaac Newton and the first of the great race of "speculative astrono mers," believes that hell is lo cated on a comet. But the most .curious theoiy we have ever investigated was that advanced bv Dr. Mortimer. author of ' 'The Spirit of God as Fire. One of the several sub stitutes of this remarkable book was one which gave the reader to understand that the author believed that heaven is located on the inner globe of the sun. This substitute was "The Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven." According to Mortimer's theory, our sun is surrounded by an envelope or photosphere of flames 100,000 miles itself. Taken altogether, this idea of the photosphere is a vast non- luminous void. Farther on is the great globe of the sun itself. Taken all together, this idea of the sun may be aptly compared to- a peach or plum. The en velope of flame occupies the place of the skin, the "vast nonluminous void" the place of the meat of the fruit" and the central globe (true sun) the place of the seed. On this sun globe, inside the great fiery en velope, Dr. Mortimer believed heaven to be situated. The! photosphere or envelope of fire he took to be hell or the place of future punishment for the wicked. The "nonluminous void." according to Mortimer, is the "great gulf between," which is mentioned quite fre quently in the Scriptures .-l-Ex. Tke fae limil sigaaturt sf !i n eTery nppM.

THE GOKPKL TEZVT. BY DELLA H. NEWSOM. Ono beautiful morn, one beautiful morn When the skie.s wore a dreamy hue. On golden wings of love 'twas borne: A gospel tent of white anil blue. 'Twas Brother LeavUt's gospel tent, Placed on the grassy sod Where prayers and pleadings ever went Up to the throne of God.' Where tenderest wcrda of Ood's love fell From the lips of the speaker there, And joy the angels came to tell And to lift our hearts dull care. And souls were washed in the sparkling stream. Their garments white as snow; Embarked on the beautiful sea of Life For the home of the blessed to go. And like a low wind blown so sweet From the angels summer land, Was the strains of music, soft aud lorf ' Made by that happy band. The angels sprinkled from above Tears of silver and gold, And fires of everlasting love In hearts that had once been cold. And maiy sluggards awoke from sleep. To; look where they hd been And claiming themselves as strangers Began to llee from sin. But sadness seemed to fold its wings O'er every person's heart. When the grand and glorious meeting closed And the christians had to part. Oh! tiod, send more of the gospel tents Unto this land of ours, " And by and by they'll blossom out And make a land of flowers. IKuck From Klondike. Seattle, Wash.", Aug. 21. The steamer George E. Stan arrived at her dock this morn ing shortly after 11 o'clock from Dyea and Skaguay, and was met by a great crowd of people naving Deem reported that several men from Klondike, having made their way to salt water overland, were on board. This proved true, and the inter est centered on the aDoearance of one passenger, Ed. Thorp, who was expected to come down on the Portland, and who was reported to have somewhere in the neighborhood of $130,000 in Klondike gold in his possession. Thorp and his companions ar rived, but it is impossible to get anvthiiig definite from them Willis Thorp, the father of Ed. Thorp, received a letter a few days ago on the Alki from his son, saying that he had $130,- 000 in gold. At least that is what Willis Xhorp is alleged to have told his friends, -but now Thorp and his three compan ions on the Starr unite in only one point in telling their story and that is that they have $20, 000 between them. It is the intention of all the party to return to their mines at once, on the steamer George E, Starr, if they can get ready. They came, after supplies. Mr. Stewart said that supplies ran short in the spring, and that flour went up to $70 a sack. At present it is $12 per hun dredweight. Old miners on the Yukon say that the transporta tion companies promise every year to have plenty of proviv sions for the next winter, but that the supply invariably runs short. Siza of Geniuses. Most men of genius have been giants or dwarfs,' or at least have been tall or short, accord ing to Havelock Ellis. - He does not say, however, that all giants and dwarfs are geniuses. Mr. Ellis has looked up the dimen sions of over 300 gifted men, and he finds that 142 were tall, 125 short and seventy-four of middle height, which he places at between five feet four and five feet nine. ' Any one can follow;, out this line of comparison. To take a few familiar names Washing ton and Wellington were tall, so were Sherman and, Custer. Napoleon, Grant and Sheridan were short. Lincoln was the tallest of our Presidents, except the first. Grant probably was as short as any.- General Rob erts is so short as to be called Little Bobs. And McClellan was called Little Mac. Another fruitful subject of; inquiry would be the size of j heads "of noted men. General! Miles has one of the fargest and j finest' shaped heads ever known, ranking with the celebrated j; cranium of Daniel Webster. On j the other hand,. Emerson had one of the smallest of heads. New York Press. Climbine the Rockies- The terrible Jungfrau of Swit zerland is but 14,000 feet high yet travelers from all over the vforld Journey, to Intorlaken to climb it, or to say. that they have sat iu the hotel and wish ed that tliey might climb it. Mont Blanc, in the same de lightful little European republic is forever quilted with snow and for this reason it is one of the most seductive features of of travel in the neighborhood of Geneva. The Chor health resort, on the east side of the Swiss republic, is visited by thousands of invalids, because it is one of the loftiest and no blest of European sanitariums, j Then why should not, says the Denver Times, every Amer ican who has money to spare and the desire to make a jour ney get out into Colorado, strap 4 pair of mountain boots on to his legs, put a spigot on an ash staff and atteniTt to climb Mount Blanca in the southern part of this State !

They are ng unique as those of Switzerland and as fearful as the Alps in the warning they offer to men and women who are so hardy as to defy them by starting up on their ascent. , Some of them aVe massed with snow, others have glacier over their approach es, and others are merely mas ses of jagged rocks. Not even Colonidoans have sought as 3Tet to surmount them in I tlio rvnfA.3inn rf ''(finrln . . and tlie nrotession of "guide,, is still open for whoever may it. Railroads reach within close enough range to provide hotel facilities but otherwise ' the mountain climbing of Colorado is await ing its pioneers.
