uncle of the esar, have become baseball "fans." with the intention of interesting the officer of the capital and their wives in the sport. For many years the prince has been rated a keen football player, making his fellow countrymen realistthat the spring and autumn months should be uttlised with games, as well as the winter days. when skiing, snowshoe sag and skating are the pastimes. But with the advent of the last Olympic games In the capital came the great American game of baseball. Daily the prince and his wife could be seen in the midst of an interested group of nobility watching the Amerlean athletes play.

Her pretty English is becoming charmingly studded with phrases such as one hears at every game of baseball in America, and her knowledge of the game is very nearly as great as that of Prince Wilhelm. CANNIBALS LIVED IN BOSTON Professor Harvey W. Shlmer Finds Actual First Settlers Relished Human Beings. New England's prehistoric man-who antedates the oldest inhabitants from 3,000 to 10,000 years. was a cannibal and of the orang-outang type, is the contention of Harvey W.

Shimmer, assistant professor of palentology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Shlmer has unearthed strange utensils and remains in a shell mound at Ipswich which show that the earliest type there dwelt from 3,000 to 5,.000, and perhaps 10,000 years ago, less than 40 miles from the heart of Boston. At Ipswich also pieces of broken bones of a human victim that. Professor Shimer declares, was undoubtedly being sacrificed to gratify a cannibal appetite, were found. Professor Shimer said: "There were a number of bones broken into shorter pieces-human bones-which indicate that the earliest type of man was a cannibal.

"At another kitchen-midden, which I explored at Gardner's Island, off the Long Island shore. I found that the remains of a great auk. a bird now extinct, and pottery utensils made in the most primitive fashion, wholly unlike the European prehistoric pottery, indicating that these early people lived here before the invasion of the European types."

At the end of the line is the world's only UItopia, 320 square miles in extent, where money is not needed, used or desired. It is the Island of Guam. Capt.

W. Brackett. United States nRarine corps, vice-governor and chief justice of the little island. visited the marine headquarters of Chicago and smiled a bored smile at the mention of money. "Money is just so much metal or paper." he said, and waved his hand in repudiation of everything that can be purchased.

"Over in Guam everybody is happy and no one wishes for money. Guam is the one spot of complete content in all the world because it has no money system." Not even a system of exchange or barter obtains among the 13,000 brown-skinned men who make up the island's population. "Nature has given the inhabitants everything they can wish," the captain explained. "Their good food grows on trees before their doors. They build their own huts and occasinally weave garments for themselves.

That ends thieir work. They are not lazy, but they do not work. Every one is happy there. Kindness and love and baseball and moving picturres are all there is to life. And what more could be wishled? "We established a moving picture show," Captain lrackett said.

"and the natives are wild over it. It gives them the only motive they have for doing work, and now every woman on the island has taken to raising chickens, as ten hen's eggs will secure admission to the show. The baseball games are free." Captain Brackett obtained leave of absence to go to his home in Peoria. Ill.

I It, A. RI V. Do the wicked cease sinning when they die? Probably the vast majority of those who ever consider this question without deep thought say the.v certainly do, for men are to rlender aCCount to God for the deeds done in the tesht. and when a twan dies his acc('ltlit is c'losIed is it lnot wise to matter a littlti cartiful ly? (Our are ir s-tnted from the nlltdpoillnt as to the nattire ii ili -statlii. aid outtitthne of silt.

The ni idely prevalint iodl'ertn. thoutighi errolneous. of sin mlakes it rather ian haitn a disadlvantage. Adamtis fall b-ing ulipardll rather than downward. One of the first suggestions is that sin is self-perpetuating.

It is a coimmon saying that one sin leads to another-that sin follows sin somewhat automatically. however, is not to be considered as consisting chiefly In outward transaction, but in the motive that is hbehind it. When a man dies his personality with its stamped character continues, and reason would say that his course of action with respect to the moral law is to continue. Professor Denney says: "The very conception of human freedom involves the possibility of its permanent misuse, or what our Lord himself calls 'eternal The punishment of sin is not today held up before the transgressor. but rather the sin itself.

Is not the sin really the great evil? It may be said that if a man can cease from sin outwardly in this life, sin may not become permanent. But this ceasing I from sin is by almighty power alone. and this power is denied after death. If it is further said that man by the mere force of his own will can cease from sin, we reply that the ceasing is only In the outward manifestation. and not in the real sinning, which belongs to the motive.

Meager light is thrown on the achiv ity of the wicked after death, but we know the scripture teaches that men I who die in sin go to dwell with the devil and his angels. What is the employment of the devil? Does any one who beli-ves in a personal devil believe that he does not c-ontinue to sin? Is he not intensely active, the instigator of all the cruelty, oppression, wars, abominations, lies and wretchedness In the universe? If so, what about those whom scripture calls his children? Jesus said they do the deeds of their father, and are they any less children after death than before? There is no evidence that after death there is a cessation from sin it we consider the employment or experlences of the inhabitants of the other world. As to heaven, about which we know much more than about hell, we learn the employment of the righteons. There Is no intimation of slnning. there is consequently no gospel preaching.

mission work. social regeneration, or anything of that kind. but the lnhabitants of heaven are engaged in the praise of God, In worshiping him in his glorious majesty, and doing his behests whatever they may be. In the text we read that he that itd righteous is to do righteousness still, and he that is holy. Is to be made more holy.

Some one might say, "If the conditions In this life have a tendency to perpetuate themselves, will not Christians who show imperfection by sinning, continue to show their imperfection in heaven In the same way?" We might admit that if we did not have the direct teaching of scripture that there is no sin in heavren, nothing that defiles, that works abomination or makes lie. From analogy we would conclude from the employment of the Inhabitants of heaven, the employment of the wicked will be unrighteous or sinful. The teaching of scripture, though not abundant. seems to be clear. Jesus said (Mark 3:29.

A. R. that if a man sin against the Holy Grost be shall be guilty of an eternal sin. This certainly teached that there Is at least one eternal sin. a sin that continues in action forever.

Revelation 22:11" seems to leave the matter beyond di.spute. and It Is well to observe that this teaching comes at the very close of the Bible. "He that is unrighteous let him do unrighteousness still, and he that Is let him be made filthy still." The marginal reading suggests the phrase "yet more" for the word "still" in each ease. Here, eertaintly, the employment of the wicked is clearly presented. What a sad fate, doomed to alasinnng! The only eeesape is to have the motive to sina removed by the in.

The AMONG 1TPIE who have ever se foot on the mysteriots land of Putumayo. a wilderness the size of Kansas shut in between tributaries of the Amazon. There are no railways, no no telephones. no telegraph. For six months travel is possible by boat along the rivers.

For three months the rivers drown one-half of the jungle. which takes the aspect of an imprecise and treacherous lake. For another three months the virgin forest is dotted everywhere with dangerous ooze holes. a paradise for all the deadliest bacteria. scorpions, snakes and all- the animated nuisances which constitute the seamy side of the glorious tropical nature.

One man arrived in New York the 1 other day who has traveled the' length and breadth of the Putumayo, and who, in the present controversy, has the good advantage of being a neither a Peruvian nor an man.

He has directed in the course of ten years a nine different expeditions to survey 1 the northern regions of Peru. and has published four maps (the only ones In existence) of four different sections of the Putumayo. Finally, he has in- i troduced in the rubber regions an au- i tomatte rubber tapping machine which will in the near future enable a the Indians to return undisturbed to their primeval idleness. "There is no doubt." Herr von Has4lM said, "that the Putumayo natives have been handled very brutally on several occasions.
