Russia; Dolyai, of Hungary, and Gauss,
of Germany, about 1830," says Pro
fessor Winger. "The peculiar fact is
that these three men. in entirely dif
ferent parts of the world, began de
veloping such a theory almost simul
taneously. The idea is prevalent that
mathematics is an absolute certainty.
This theory gives a new notion to the
subject, showing that it is not on ' an
established basis along with physics

NEWPORT DRIER THAN EVER
Absence or Bootlegging Is Noticed
Vnclcr Prohibition.
NEWPORT. Or.. Jan. 13. (Special.)
Newport, which has been dry for the
last year, has been made really dry
by prohibition. It was claimed under
last year's local option law that there
was a certain amount of bootlegging,
but "nothing doing" is the word passed
out now.
At Waldport, where was located the
only saloon in the county, the drought
is more noticeable. Every one there,
though, seems to take the change of
conditions philosophically, and the pre
vailing sentiment is in favor of the
new law.

Non-Euchidean Course Tak
en by Eugene Student.
Theory Now Being Worked Oat Op
poses All Those Heretofore Taught
in Geometry.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 15. (Special.) Miss Elizabeth
Minturn, an honor student in the uni
versity, has registered in a course for
her special senior work that is known
as "Non-Euclidean Geometry."
Where the geometry of Euclid says
that the sum of the angles of a tri
angle is equal to two right angles,
non-Euclidean geometry holds that the
sum of the angles of a triangle might
be greater or less than two right
angles. Euclid taught that parallel
lines are equivalent. Not so, says the
non-Euclidean theory. Equidistant
lines do not exist there is never a
case where parallel straight lines are
equidistant from each other. It was
Euclid's belief that the sum of the
squares on the sides of a right tri
angle is equal to the square of the
hypothenuse, but the non-Euclidean fol
lowers maintain there is no such thing
as a square.
Miss Minturn became interested in
the theories of the non-Euclideans
through Dr. Roy M. Winger, assistant
professor of mathematics in the uni
versity. Professor Winger has made
an extensive study of the new theories,
but as yet he isn't sure which is right
Euclid or non-Euclid. However he
believes that one will explain pheno
mena as well as the other
"These new theories in. geometry
NATURE UPLIFTING FORCE
Mr. Harold Again Discusses Mr. Cllne's
Theory.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 15. (To
the Editor.) If permitted. I would
again refer to Mr. Cline's letter which
appeared in The Oregonian January 2.
1 will attempt to consider his "out
side force." He finds this force in In
dia, and follows it through Egypt to
LPalestine. Strange that he did not go
back to inula in an aiiempt to ais
cover its origin. His acknowledgment
that it reached Egypt, however, here
serves my purpose.
No doubt he will admit that the great
exponent of this "outside force" in
Palestinehad received his early educa
tion in Egypt Thus in the schools of
Egypt was he taught the philosophy
of India.
I feel that Mr. Cline will not deny
that his later education was received
either in or from India. The proof of
this lies in the fact that his teachings
were none other than the philosophies
of India which were hoary with ago
before thev ever reached Palestine and
which he could not have taught had
they not been taught to him.
I feel now that we have traced this
outside force to India. Now we will
attempt to discover its origin.
Sir Edwin Arnold. like others of us
who have spent considerable time in
India, was an ardent admirer, not only
of the learned philosophies of this won
derful country, but was also intensely
interested in the folk lore of the lower
castes.
He has said that the philosophy of
India would redeem the world.
Now, no thought in this philosophy
but reverts to nature: its expression is
the breathing of nature. The follow
ing lines may be considered as its con
ception of nature:
Warms' In the sun, refreshes in the breeze.
Glows In the stars, blossoms in th trees.
L.lves throush all life, extends through all
extent.
Spreads undivided and operates unspent.
Again, hear this their prayer that
nature by them may be understood:
"Oh! Lord, show to us thy works
that we may learn thy ways."
From the folk lore of the common
people we get their thought, which,
when converted into United States
would, approximately, read as follows:
If the Lord you would serve truly.
Pass the glad hand to your apaue.
He will never smile upon you
Whilst you're prayine in the shade.
Brt-ak the turf up, tear the weeds out;
Strive and worK with tootn ana ciaw.
For no flower will ever blossom
Through the wagging of your Jaw. :
Of all philosophies that of India is
par excellence the philosophy of na
ture. It holds that all truth lies in
nature and if we seek truth that we
must go to nature for it.
This philosophy is spreading rapiaiy
over the face of the globe. It is with
us today. Our workers of miracles are
not looking outside nature for inspira
tion (brains is the new word for in
spiration). These great men are sav
ing the race through the study of rats.
squirrels, mosquitoes, woodticks, fleas
and lice. Their great source of inspira
tion is pestilential sewers, festering
cesspools and filthy alleys.
Gorgas, Carroll, Edison, Marconi or
Roentgen have never gone outside na
ture for truths. Neither do I think will
Mr. Cline have to for his uplifting
force.
The philosophy of India will redeem
the world.
Christianity is a new name for this
glorious and aged philosophy.

EWE'S WAIL CAUSES DREAM
Bat Blentlnjsc Appear aa Mm'l At
tempted Hecital.
PORTLAND, Jan. 15. (To the Edi
tor.) After reading "Dreams ana
Their Causes," in The Oregonian Jan
uary 10, I would like to give an ex
perience of mine. This was some 20
odd vears ago. I was foreman of a
sheepshearing crew of about 10 men In
Wasco Countv. We went to the rancn
of one John Magill to shear some 2000
head, near Wamic. The shearers slept
in the barn, if the boss had one, or in
tents if out in camp. In this case we
had a double log barn, built on the
stvle of the pioneer log cabin, with
driveway between, all under one roof.
The east end of this barn made one
side of the lot where they held the
sheep to be shorn. I made my bed
next the east end and went to sleep.
I dreamed that there was a school
entertainment and that a man that
lived in the neighborhood that most
everyone knew got up to read a poem.
This man of my dream was an old
schoolmate of most of us shearers, was
none too bright in books, awkward,
bashful and considered the butt of the
neighborhood. In fact, had I been
awake I would not have selected a
better subject for my dream.
I dreamed the first line of the poem,
which ran like this: "Tnere was a
maiden young and fair."
Now I seemed to know that this was
a sad piece where the heroine met mis
fortune and finally death.
In my dream the reader went over
the line falteringly and hesitated, then
repeated the line in a rather broken
voice; then he dropped all but the last
three words, "young and fair, re
peated in a broken voice about three
times and hesitated again. ay tnis
time he was crying, and while wiping
the tears from his eyes he repeated
the last words at intervals of about
three seconds in a perfect wail.
fa-a-i-r-r. fa-a-i-r-r. fa-a-i-r-r." By
that time I was laughing so that 1
awoke, and just outside the barn was
an old ewe bleating for her lamb at
about the same Intervals as the reader
n my dreams: "Ba-a-a, ba-a-a.
ba-a-a!" ,
Next morning T related my dream In
the presence of Mr. Magill and, know
ing the reader in the dream, he
couldn't come near me without break
ing out in a hearty laugh. I have
never met that man since that we
didn't have a good laugh over "There
was a maiden young and fair.

PORTLAND. Jan. 15. (To the Edi

The bride made the trip from Portland to Alaska unaccompanied. She
