THE FOLLY OF IT
(Ily Cnmlllo Flammarlon, French Astronomer.
IT IS Imposalhlo coolly to consider this reality (tho vnstnesa of the
universe) without being struck with the nstpnlshlng nnd inoxp;
cnblo illusion in which tho majority of mankind slumbers. lie hold
u llttlo globe whirling Jn tho Infinite void. Hound this globulo
14G0 mllllona of so-called roasonublo beings or rather talkers who
know not whenco they come nor whenco they go, each of them, more
over, born to die very soon, and this poor humanity has resolved
the problem .not of living happily In tho light of nature, but of Buf
fering constantly both In body und mind. It does not emerge from
Us native Ignorance, It does not rlso to the intellectual pleasures
or art and science, nnd torments Itself perpetually with chimerical
ninbltloiiB. Strange social organization! This race Is divided Into
tribes, subject to chiefs, and from tlmo to time we see these tribes,
afflicted with furious folly, arrayed against each other, obeying tho
signal of a handful of sanguinary evildoers who llvo at their ex
pense, nnd tho InfamouB hydra of war mows down Us victims, who
fall llko ripe ears of corn on tho blood-stained fields. Forty millions
of men are killed regularly ovory century In order to maintain tho
mlcroscopal divisions of a llttlo globulo Into several anthills.
When men know something of tho earth, and undoratand tho modest
position of our planet In Infinity, when they npprcciato better the
grandeur and tho beauty of nature, they will be fools no longer, as
coarse on tho one hand as credulous on tho other; but they will
llvo In peace, In tho fertile study of Truth, In tho contemplation of
the Weautlful, in tho practlco of tho Oood, In tho progressive devel
opment of tho reason, and In tho noble exercise of tho higher facul
ties of Intelligence

Paris Prays in Notre Dame
For Victory for French Arms
(Ily Alphonso Courlandcr.)
PARIS, Sept. 0. Within Notre
Dame thero Is pcaco and an exiiulslte
beauty nnd calm. Paris passes in to
pray In tho Bercnlty of cool and lofty
iiIhIoh, whore the Biinllght, striking
through the windows of stained glass,
spreads their colors over tho gray and
roso tinted stono of tho walls.
No tourists come there today. No
ldli vIsltorB trend the pavement Into
Btnrtllng echoes, with guldos to toll
them all tho dates, and all tho deeds
that hnvo taken place within the
cathedral. Hero In Notre Dame Is the
sanctuary from the hot Paris beyond
tho wide, open gates, where Charle
magne lords It by tho Seine on hi
hronzo horse.
All sense of war departs boforo the
Infinity or rest and peace that hooiiic
to stretch far Into the pale and dis
tant depths of cool gray column
bathed In u pnllld light. Impossible
within theso woIIb, to think of the
clash or battle or armies marching
m tho shock of war. of nations and
Institutions and civilization Ifnlllng
Into ruin! And those glorious wheo'
wlndowB, dlvlno kalcldoBcopca of blue
und scarlet nnd nil tho colors that
mnn has thought of, are hero unbrok
en and untouched, throbbing will
harmony, chords of color which tin
sun turns to an amazing and vlhrnn
iiinlody. Choir Smothers Pnxr Cry.
It Is afternoon, Outside tho rlty If
somnolent In tho heat of tho day.
Through tho great bronze gates, open
now for nil comers, tho cry of a news
pnpor heller comes like a phantom
cry from nn unrenl world: "La Patrle
... La Patrle." Within tho sound
Is lost In tho swelling music of a
choir hidden behind the altar, sweet
voIcch lost somewhere In tho palo re
cesses or mystical pillars.
They hcuiii to como out or tho very
Mono Itseir, as If tho cathedral were
nllvo nnd singing. "Ora pro Nobis . .
. Orn pro Nobis."
Tho snlnts In their chapels, as all
out as eternal tombs, kneel In stone
attitudes of prayer as though they
were praying night and day porpetu
ally ror victory ror France, and the
kiiii urges Its way through tho color
ed paths or glass and rests in lumin
ous haloes about their heads, and
wnrms their stone forms to lire.
Tho candles hum about them like
star points, twinkling in the vnst
liesx beneath the roof that dwarfs tho
figure or man; and the music rlscB
lllto Incenso out of invisible depths.
Pruyeix for Victory.
Now comes a woman of the mar
kets, corpulent nnd ruddy faced,
fresh from her bartering. Sne has n
Mn und n husband somewhere on tho
eastoru frontier, living today, perhaps
dead tomorrow. She kneels heforo
the virgin and hums a llttlo candle
and prays, and even as she prays an
other figure creeps slloutly up nnd
kneels beside her a young girl of
tho middle class, daintily dressed, as
all are.
Her lips do not move, hut she
kneels with clasped hands, nnd never'

In view of the fact of the reported
