RECORD HISTORY OF INDIANS The American Indian Is approacn Ing, If Indeed he bas not already reached, the last stage of his native existence. Recent reports from Sit ka, of the ravages of pulmonary dis eases among the Indians In Alaska, where they are leading tbe lives led by their fathers, Indicate that tbe In dian will dlsapear from the conti nent unless he adopts the white man's civilization, and adapts himself to It. In either case tbe records of his own civilization will be lost unless the government tabes Immediate steps toward aiding the Modern Historic Records' association, or some other body engaged in a similar work In preserving some records of the cul ture, arts. Industries and domestic and social organizations, the customs, games and pastimes, work and play of the primitive settlers of America. ,.. Explorers, missionaries, settlers, Indian fighters, army officers and scientists are securing valuable vol umes of Information concerning the Red Men. The camera has been called into play. The series of photographs made by E. S. Curtis, for J. Plerpont Morgan, stand first In the museums of- America. Now phonographic records are being made of the music and speech of the Indians, something never be fore attempted in an effort to preserve the records of a dying race. It is predicted by Alexander Konta, chairman of the executive commit tee of tbe Modern Historic Records' association, that these records may prove of invaluable worth In tracing the origin of the Indian long after be may have been assimilated or ceases to exist. The field in Central and South America Is as vast as It Is unexploited. There the highest types of Indians have lived for ages and are still living in their original condition. In Canada there are thousands of Indians, but tbey are going tbe way of their fathers who once inhabited the entire continent. To Investigate and make records of these people an Inter-American system is being considered for tbe taking of living records of the vanishing race. Moving pictures of the Indians In life bave been suggested as one of the most complete means of preserving the appearance and customs of the Indians and will be carried on extensively, if government aid is secured In the work.

TO SEEK Noted Explorers Are to Sail for Crocker Land. Leaders of Expedition With Peary Aim to Study Polar Territory That Still Remains Mystery to Geographers. Boston, Mass. The last con siderable mass of unknown land on our planet north or tne equator Is Crocker Land, a vast and vague region bordering tbe polar sea northwest of Grant Land and west ward of tbe route which Peary follow ed over tbe Ice to the pole. Recently brief and preliminary an nouncement waa made of tbe expedi tion which will set forth during tbe coming summer for the exploration of this land and for other scientific work which remains to be done In the far north, especially In tbe unknown In terior of Greenland. Tbe coming expedition will be un der the auspices of tbe American Mu seum of Natural History and the Amer ican Geographical society with the co operation and Indorsement of other scientific bodies, and will be assisted financially by numerous Individuals. Each of the two societies named has contributed $6,000 to the fund of $50,000 which Is being raised. Tale contributed $1,000, and Bowdoin alumni will contribute as much or more, through their Interest and pride in MacMillan, who was one of Peary's lieutenants on his successful dasb to the pole. As to Crocker Land itself, it waa given its name by Peary In the expe ditions next before bis last one, the name being in honor of George Crock er of New York, a leading member of the Peary Arctic club. In June, 1906, on several clear days In succession Peary was able to make out from the summit of Cape Thomas Hubbard in latitude 81. the snow-clad summits of a distant land In tbe northwest above HUG KEEPS DANCE ALIVE Twice In Evening Enough to Kiss, De clares Priest, In a Lecture to Young Women.

"Married women do not dance with) their husbands but with other wom en's husbands," he said, "and mar ried men do not dance with their wives, but with other men's wives. "After telling your beloved that there is great danger In kissing, trans mitting germs," he continued to tbe young women, "allow him to kiss you twice In one' evening, once when be comes and once before he leaves.' It Is not necessary that be should kiss you 100,000 times In an evening." SENTENCED; ASKS FOR DEATH Msallant of Girl Begs Spectators for Rope With Whleh to Harig Himself. Akron, O.

Is In 100 west latitude and $3 north latitude, or about 130 miles from Cape Thomas Hubbard, which is the northern tip of Axel Helberg Land. Men of science feel that the veri fication of these observations and de ductions by making a long trip north westward from Cape Thomas Hubbard is the last great geographical problem for solution. Tim expedition will leave Sydney by special steamer on July 20, and will establish winter quarters at Flagler bay In north latitude 79. On the way whale and walrus meat and dogs will be collected and the ship will be sent home. In September and through tbe long arctic night, when the moon Is favorable, the supplies will be sledged to Cape Thomas Hub bard, 330 miles farther on toward the goal. , When the arctic day begins to dawn in February, 1913, the expedition will push over the 130 miles of Ice to the unknown Crocker Land, and If no game Is found the return to Cape Thomaa Hubbard will be made In the following May. On the return to the headquarters at Flagler bay scien tific work will be carried on In Grant Land, and then the headquarters and the collections will be transferred southward to Etah, the village or the most northerly Eskimos. ' In the spring and summer of 1914 the expedition to the Interior of Green land will be made and an attempt made to reach the summit of the great Ice cap at the middle of the widest part of the Island. ' No man has ever been there. On tbe return to Etah a ship will be awaited to bring the ex pedition back to civilisation in tbe au tumn of 1914. Tbe expedition will be jointly In charge of Donald B. MacMillan ' and George Borup, both of whom were with Peary. Tbe only white men with them will be a physician and a cook.

The pres ident began by expressing his sym pathy with the member of tbe league, a woman, who had recently attempted suicide, but as yet without fatal re sult. He added the fervent hope that she would meet tbe death ahe desired. By way of Indorsing his words all pres ent rose In silence. ; - ;- Another member said that happily the wound deceived by the woman was dangerous and there was no hope of her recovery. The greater part of the subsequent discussion turned on tbe question of devising original methods of suicide. It came out that nine of the members 'on whom the lot had fallen bad. previ ously sworn not to take their Uvea In commonplace conditions. ; Various suggestions were made, but tbe one most favorably received was" that a considerable number of the members should commit suicide en masse. It being calculated that the sensation thereby produced would at tract any number of recruits to the league. V '''f"N.;. i.

How alcohol destroys a man's facul ties In an exactly Inverse order to that of their acquirement haa bettn most graphically depicted by Dr. A. ; D. Bush, the well known authority on mental diseases, aaya Mr. Elliot Flint in the Vlndjcator. , Doctor Bush declares alcohol to be a somatlo (body) poison which acts upon the tissues destructively and produces more or less acute but well marked psychoses (derangements of the nervous system). "Opium," be says, "overwhelms th organism producing collapse; strych nine exhausts the centers of respira tion; prusslo acid paralyses at onoe, but alcohoL Insidiously attacks tbe highest ."unctions of the brain and mind and successively and In Inverse order overthrows all the Intellectual faculties acquired by the evolutionary process, reduoes man to the level of the brute and finally to the gutter as a mere animate being.". One day of heavy drinking la. ac cording to Doctor Buah, sufficient to overthrow the cumulative work of ages and to resolve man Into hla prim itive capacity of simple nervous re sponse. In the development of the child the emotion of shame la a later acquire ment than the emotion Of fear, and hence in the process of devolution or regression tbe former would be soon er lost. Likewise the faculty of rea son, first manifested by the Infant In the fourth month, la a higher faculty Uian that of memory shown In the second week of life. Consequently Ue power of reasoning would be sur rendered while memory remained ac tive. And so with other faculties, which will be enumerated presently, the highest being the power of dis crimination and of self-control. Amobg the first faculties then which a man losea when he becomes Intoxi cated are his flae self-control, his dis crimination and hla sense of shame. Hence be raises bis voice ahd talks Inadvisedly, disagreements of no mo ment Irritate blm. be becomes volu ble and indulges In high-flown rhe toric. In patriotic buncombs, or , In shallow sentimentality. In short, al cohol so weakens hla Judgment that he can no longer distinguish tbe tri vial from the Important ,., Also he grows restless and iralks about gesticulating wildly, for, as bis power for deliberative movements Is impaired, so bis ability for expressive movements which was an earllet ac quirement, la temporarily . Increased. Aa a consequence, besides his gesticu lations with arms, shoulders and body, be makea grimaces, wags his 'head and laughs and cries by turna easily and exceedingly. - Next this faculty In Ita turn weakening, the imitative faculty appear. He now yelps, barks and crows or Imitates ridiculously the speech of those about him. Then at last his attention wanes and bis move ments become more uncertain an til no longer able to co-ordinate hla mus cles, he sinks to the floor, where he ties twitching, and then still breath ing atertoroualy. Thus be returna by the alcohol route to the helplessness t the babe. ;. .' v.- ' :''. - The superficial brilliancy of speech lometlmes - displayed by the Intoxi cated comes from the loss of the high- r faculty of abstract thought and the onsequent Increase of constructive imagination, . with its still more infer ior companion, reminiscent Imaglmv ion. . But though the speech of the Irunkard appear brilliant adorned aa Is with metaphor and extravagant Imagery, hla thoughts lack coherence and rationality, and bis seeming Bril liancy soon abates and ends In unin telligible gibbering. ' '. Anti-Alcohol Labor Union. . The Paris correspondent of the Journal of tbe American Medical As lociation writes that the scourge ofal ohollsm to which for a long time the working class of France haa been very Indifferent haa, at last, begun to really and vitally Interest them. There aaa been recently organised a Feder ation of Anti-Alcohol Workmen which sending out an appeal to all tbo liyndlcal organisations Inviting them to take part In' anti-alcohol propaganda. rbe federation haa already held sev eral meetings and given movlngxplc ture lectures in Paris.

No Drink In Sporta. "Those who wish to excel in manly sports are realising more and more that It Is necessary to abstain not only in the period of training, but In the periods between the times of train ing. I have been particularly atruck with this fact In the case of moun taineering. You will find that the best mountaineers abstain from alcohol. Some time ago when attending a con vivial gathering of some thirty moun taineers, I found there waa hardly one who tasted anything stronger than ginger beer, while some did not go that far, hut atuck to lemonade."

THE SONG RENEWED- By Rev. Parley E. Zartmann, D. D, Secretary ol Extension Department, Moody Biblo .-', Institute, Chicago j TEXT And whn th burnt 'offering! began the n of tli Loril began Io. II Cliron. 29:iT. . ..; ... This statement occurs la . the midst of a dra matic Incident In1 the history of the; Children of Israel. Chapter 21 tells, Of Abas, too' wicked king who' who ' cause-1 the. worship ; of Je hovah to cease In the temple in Je-i rusalem, vho closed tbe doors ( of the temple, and who gave tbe sacred Vessels of the temple as tribute to foreign kings whom he hoped to appease. Chapter 28 tells of Heziklah, the good king, who , . I ' ' J required the priests to sanctify them selves and cleanse the temple, who brought back the sacred vessels, and who restored the customary routine- of sacrifice and service within the temple. Chapter 30 describes the re vival which took place throughout the entire land following tbo cleansing of the temple and the restoration of the sacrifice. - Tbe background Is dark enough a polluted temple, the serv ice neglected, God forsaken by the people, the vessels of holiness given . away for unholy purposes, and the song of the Lord having ceased In tb . courts of the temple. , Music was a prominent part In the temple servtoa, and It Is a prominent part of Christian life. : No one has so much right to slpg aa the man or woman who haa been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ; no one can know such Joy as the one who baa the sense of forgiveness. Un belief haa no songs, but the Christian life la filled with singing. . Several years ago when a famoua unbeliever died and tbe arrangements were be ing made for the' funeral service, it waa announced in the papers that there would be no singing. How could there be? What could tbey ' sing at the service of a man who had not only not believed In God, but 1 who had uaed his influence and elc- . quenoe to ridicule thinga which were . sacred and reverend? There are two or three very plain and practical lessons which emerge from tbe reading of the chapters con nected with the text . 1. God cannot use an unclean thing. So the vital qnestlon Is, "la my heart right with God?" God does not ask for golden vessels, God does not aak foe silver vessels; but God does ask for clean vessels. Therefore, - those of us who have named, the name of Christ may well take the place of the Psalmist and aay, "Search me. O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if ther be any wicked way in me, and lead me In the way everlasting." 2. God cannot give power to an un- yielded life. The temple In Jerusa--lem, magnificent and costly though it . was, did not have the visible mani festation of God's presence until it waa entirely dedicated to him. There Is a peculiar sense In which it la true: , "He hath filled tbe hungry with good things, and the rich he ' hath sent mpty away." 1 , ' 3. Power la to be claimed only upon tbe conditions of a clean heart and a yielded life.; - fv-.u : Perhaps you have been a Christian . many years, and yet for a long time there haa been no song In your soul; , prayer haa been a burden, tbe word 3f God baa bad no meaning to you, and service has been Irksome. Why? It may be: .'V'Z. '".'? ,.- ' 1. Neglected prayer, God meant prayer to be the greatest power In the spiritual world, and although Chris tiana know how to do scores of other things, and , although churches use ' numerous ' agencies for making ; the work successful, yet we have lost the secret of the church and the secret of victory In our Christian lives we do not know how to pray. "yu ' 2. Neglect of God's word. Many a - m8n can find the first atep In hla career away from God In hla neglect of the word of God which Is "meant, not only for his food, hut for bis guidance. '; So many ' of us object to the Bible! o neglect it because its teachlnga go contrary to some habit, which we cheriah,,or some sin which we commit-.. ,:,. : . 3. Lack of forgiveness or apology If we are too stubborn to forgive peo ple who have injured us, or too proud to ask forgiveness of those whom we , have Injured, God pity us, for ther can be no song In the soul -until we are right with God and right with our fellowmen. ; v -1 - -'' ;v:'' 4. Unconfessed and unforsaken sin. , This may seem small to the sinner, -, but sin which ia not confessed' and forsaken, closes the eyes against the beauties of heaven, shuts the ears against the songs of heaven, and bars the way to the soul that would enter In. More than that sin drives Joy out of the Christian life. 6. Lack of complete surrender. Thle is the real meaning of tbe text for the burnt offering Indicated that . everything was given up to God; and It is only as we make a complete ' abandonment of ourselves to God, that he fills us with Joy in believing and happiness in Christian service. May it not be that the years of our Chris tian life bave b?en unfruitful and Joy less, and vo; t of music, beeairs we have kept lack part of tt e s -Ice which we r' on'J have paid to f'.T Do we r t know that the- I t 1 l a !:''; f (x'idi'ete sun -, mi c -a aS.ndmaierit t.. 1 ? iiO C T 1 1 i ; r ; 1 f f ease telng J pw 'H i t.
