(Copyright. IBIS, 6Ur Company.)

Up to the Gates of gloaming Pearl,There came the spirit of a girl.And to the white-robe- d Guard she said:"Dear Angel, am I truly dead?Just yonder, lying on my bed,I heard them say It; and they wept.And after that, methlnke I slept.Then, when I woke, I taw your face,And suddenly was In this place.It seems a pleasant place to be,Tet earth was fair enough to me.What Is tnere here to do, or see?Will I see God, dear Angel, sayTAnd Is He very far awayT"

The Attgel said, "You are In truthWhat men call dead. That word to youthIs full of terror; $ut It meansOnly a change of tasks, and scenes.You hare been brought to us, becauseOf certain ancient karmlo lawsSet Into motion, aeons gone,By us you will be guided onFrom plane to plane, and sphere to sphere,Until your tasks are finished here.Then back on earth, the home of man,To work again another span."

"But, Angel, when will I see God?"

"After the final path is trod;After you no more long, or orare,To see, or hear, or own, or haveAught beside HIM. Then shall His faceReveal itself to you In space.And you shall find yourself made oneWith that Great Sun, behind the sun.Child, go thy way Inside the gate,Where many eager loved ones wait.Death Is but larger life begun."

Singing and WinningBy IRENE WESTON.

''The girl who sings to herself at her..work Is the best worker." declares aphysician In a newspaper. . He has beengoing; into he question of the effects ofsinging on man and woman, and saysthat if you want to be "happy, wealthy

nd wise," you should have at least one6ng and sing It at least twice a day. It

Is one of the most potent tonics., ' His letters arose out of the stories we

have been reading of soldiers. A Britishofficer wrote biro that "Tipperary"warmed his very heart. When he heardthe fellows singing that he felt everything was going right. He didn't carerwhat It was they sang so long as 'theysang something. He was not at all par-

ticular as to "execution."One of the most exhilarating concerts,

lie said, he had ever herd was that hecame across one day Vhen he discoveredsi troop of Indian soldiers who didn'tunderstand English singing . "Teeparoo-loo- ."

One of them with an ear for musictied "picked" up the words, as he Imag-

ined, and passed them on. He had notgot them very accurately, and his pupilshad got them still worse, but It was ''arow." And it evidently did them anenormous amount of good., The French troops sing 'Tipperary'' asa compliment to Britain, and British sol-

diers return the compliment with the"Marseillaise," It is, of course, a wellKnown fact ' that a regiment marchingwith a band or singing covers the groundfaster than if it had no such accompani-ment. It goes farther with lees fatigue.

"People might do well." says the phy-sician, "to study the question of hingingand music as a tonic"

It Is cheap "within the means of all."Joseph Hatton. the novelist, once told

tne of a man who was the head of a bigcommercial concern, and who was gen-nel- ly

known as "Old Up Skies." He wasriot particularly old. The term was ap-plied to him as we speak of "Old Jones"or "Old Smith men we admire becausethey know a good deal more about thingsthan many. "Old t'p Skies" was always

iight and cheerful. Nothing cloudybout him.One of bis acquaintances declared that

if you met "Old Up Skies" in the morn-ing before setting out, it would probablylead to your going out without your um-brella whatever the weather threatened.lie filled you with the idea that therewas heaps of sunshine about. Tet he hadoccasionally very bad luck.

When the news spread around emdngst" Ms friends that things had gone wrong

iwlth him, people who didn't know himwell received a shock when they crossedever the street, suitably arrayed in theirmost dismal facs, and were greeted byhim with a hearty, "Good day, old chap.How are you? Tou're looking dismal.What's the matter?"

The secret of his perpetual cheerful-ness was, he told Hatton, his singing asong every morning as ha dressed. 'Itmas a cheerful song to a cheerful tune,and by the time he came down to breakfast he was In a mood to "take every-thing as It comes and make the bestof If .

t

--Try It. my boy." he said, "try It Onlytake care to get the right song. Don'taing "The Last Rose of Summer" or "Oh.(Where Are the Once Happy Days thatSiave Fled,' or stuff like that kind, iflyou live In an apartment house and areafraid of the fellow In the next room,sing It sotto voice. Even a hum Is worth

lot"Soma time ago an Italian physician

tnade experiments on a number of menand women to find out what effect luusiehad. He found that cheerful, stirringgdeoes sent the Mood circulating moregeeetty fa the listeners, while sad music

had Just the opposite effect There wasonly one man whom . the muslq had noeffect upon at all. Nothing would disturb the sluggish flow of his blood. AJig or a wail did not add a single beat ortaka one off. He Informed the doctorthat all the tnualo was the same to him.He couldn't tell one tune from another.He applauded at the end "because It wasover."

If music without words will send theblood coursing faster or slower throughone s veins, musio with good words willdo the triok a thousand times better. Buttake "Old Up Skies' " advice and be caretful as to getting both right. ,

Toole, the actor, knew a man who wasfearfully timid at teeing strangers. Insome remarkable manner he became acommercial traveller, of all things In theworld, and tapping at an office door hedid so with terror In his heart.

He composed a little song of two versesfor his own private use. What that songwas he would never reveal. He describedIt as "the kind of stuff to make onechirpy." I suspect It was somethingabout "facing the foe." "charging" and

onward we go," and that kind ot thing.However, he told Toole that, hummingthat song of his, he found he couldcharge at a possible new customer with-out feeling his legs tremble. A goodIdeal

There Is the old proverb tliat "What's'well begun Is half done." and It has a.larger amount of truth in it than manyproverbs. The day we begin In a cheer-ful Spirit Is the day '

in which we aregoing to do great things. But the morningIs Just ths time when most people aredepressed and soured. Breakfast Is the '

most dangerous meal of the 'day. TheYeIs more grumbling at the breakfast tablethan at any other. Ask the proprietressof a boarding house as to which meal itis that her boarders are most sore- -headed at

We are most Inclined to find faultwith our people at breakfast." a womanwriter on household matters wrote theother day. "It la the time when peopleappear to be the most querulous and Irritable. But they don't exactly quarrel.They Just grumble. They haven't theenergy for more than that. There Is notthe slightest doubt that most people, be-gin the day la the very worst mannerpossible. Wouldn't It be worth while todiscover some way to alter such condi-tion of affairs?"

It would. Prof. Laissaille, the distinguished French scientist, declared that Itwas most Important to cultivate. Immed-iately on rising, the mood which would bemost useful during the day and certainlyIrritability is by no means the most serv-iceable. Start on the right note. Start onthe wrong one and things mostly growworse and worse. "

If you want to alert on the right note inthe morning, it Is necessary you shouldend on the right bote the night before.Nothing, according to the physician whoprescribes singing as a way to mentaland bodily health and success, is more Im-portant than the mood in which one goesoff to sleep.

"People who wake up In the morningunrested and unrefreahed don't knowwhat Is the matter," he declares. "Theydon't remember any dream they have had.They tell themselves they have beensound asleep "slept like a top" all night.Tet here they are fagged out. The simpleexplanation is their minds have - been

find after some hours that yourested little. That la because themind hss not dismissed cares. hasbeen occupied, worried, perplexed.dream without knowing It. Drop asleep

happy and ronfldent, and the mindwill stlU continue on those lines and al-

'"Piesse explain the methods of de-

termining the age ot. the earth. Fromwhat point in the evolution ot the earth,from the vaporous to the solid-encrust-

mass. Is this ageoaloulated f J. H.V., Scotia, N. T."

There are twodifferent' ways otcalculating the ageof the earth, thegeological and thea a t r o n o re leal.Their resultsnot agree, whencetils' vast cloud of'uncertainty, thatcovers the wholesubject Moreover,the results varyenormously, I neach way of calculating,the different assumptions

accordingadopted

to

bones for computation. The astronomicalresults are nearer In accord with one an-

other than the geological ones, but thisarises from the fact that the, astronomi-cal method is simpler and based upon asmaller number of assumptions.

The astronomical calculations beginswith the assumption that the earth cannot older than the sun, since, what-ever precise theory of the origin of thesolar system adopted, the sun has tobe regarded as the generator of the sys-

tem. Treating the sun as a heated body(at present in a compressed geaseousstate), which Is gradally cooling off andcondensing through radiation, it is pos-sible, on physical principles, to trace itshistory backward as well as forward.This hss been dons by Helmholti, New- -

comb and others, with the result of showing that .robably not more than W.OOO.OUt

or 26.000,000 years ago the sun was a vastmass of rare nebulous matter, expandedover the entire space now Included withinthe orbit of the most distant of Its plan,ets Neptune. If that ta so, and If theearth was formed out of a "portion of thssame nebulous matter that eventuallycondensed Into the sun, then the earth'stotal age cannot be greater than 2,000,0(Kyears.

The same method of calculation showsthat within from b.UW.OuO to 10.000,000 yearsto eorae the sun will have grown so densethat It ran no longer radiate heat as Ithas been doing hitherto, and when thesun Is extinguished the earth will be un-

inhabitable.So much for the astronomical aspect of

development of the earth. And that doesnot cover the entire period of the earth's,existence,, either.'

It only begins where geology begins,that is to say, with the first recognis-able rocky crust of the globe. Geology,properly speaking, knows nothing of theearth before it began automatically toreoord Its history In its solidifying rocks.AU the fiery ages which preceded thattime belong to astronomy, not to geology.And yet astronomy, adding Its quota ofearth history to that of geology, makesthe sum total a quarter, or a tenth part,of the amount that geology demands forIts Port alone.

And then, paleontological evolution, orthe doctrine of the gradual developmentof living species out o remote ancestralforms, backs up the demands ot geologyfor time, and yet more time, until, tasome Instances, the requisitions anil tornot loss than a thousand million years.Through all that Illimitable STBsnse efages, they say, the earth must have bean"growing up In might,--" It eouJd mot havegot along so tar with leas.Occasionally there is a concession made,

or a screw relaxed. In ths calculation enone side or the other. Thus the as-tronomers have sometimes been willingto stretch their calculated limit out tofifty million, or even a hundred mUlion,years, snd, on the other hand, the geolo-gists have, on oocaston, cut down theirestimates within the hundred mllUonlimit. Thus J. J. Joly, basing his calcu-lation on the quantity of salt containedIn ' the ocean, and the time that wouldbe required for it to get there, leachedout of the rocks, has estimated the. geological age ef the earth at t0,000,00 years.and Prof. O. T. Becker, using a similarcalculation, has reduced the age to ,000 000 years.

There was a great brightening up ofcountenances among the. calculators ofthe earth's age a few years ago whenthe amaslng properties of radium were

I discovered. The disputing astronomersand geaologlsts approached each etheramlUng, with outstretched bands, andcongratulations were exchanged, becausethe former thought that a way had nowbeen found to give the latter all the timethey could possibly think, of asking for,and the geologists were rejoiced becauseall the while they had been keeping halfof their daima up their sleeves. Thegreat reooncillator was thought to be theagent radium, unsuspected ty existing lathe sun from the) beginning of time andunostentatiously but most effectivelysupplying rsdlant energy from no visibleor calculable source, thus secretly filling

i the solar po.-lwt- s and enabling the profgod of dny to stretch the period of

his s!usnderl;igs over hundreds of mll- -I lions of years, during which he wouldotherwise have lain chained In the dun-geon of absolute physical bankruptcy.

But the radium hypothesis .of solarradiation has been sleeping or late. Itmay have a good basis, but before tt canbe accepted a larger proportion of factto theory will have to be offered.
