Its lines are not severe, but graceful and that loose ffact so much desired, has been at tained at one full swop.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE : PRIVATE BUSINESS I S "SI. -4 George w; Qlovsr. Concord, N. H. Is Christian Science a religion or a privately owned busi ness? That is the question which the superior court here must decide, and on its decision hangs the disposition of a fortune. George W. Glover of Lead, S. D the only child of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder of the denomina tion, contends that Christian science is simply a privately owned business conducted for money profit. If he can make the court agree with him on this point, Mrs. Eddy's bequest of prac tically her entire fortune of $3,000,000 to the First Church of Christ, Bcience, of Boston, will be declared null and void, and the fortune will revert to the natural heirs. In his petition to the court Glover avers that "Christian Science is not a religion but is a world business, a pri vately owned business conducted by its owners for money profits to themselves and that the execution of said .attempt ed trust will result and was Intended by the creator of said attempted trust to result in the private pecuniary profit of the owners of said business. "That tbe business described in the petition viz: the owning, vending and practicing of the so-called 'religion of Christian Science' as thought by Mrs. Eddy, by said legatee and its members, has on the whole been grievously harm ful to the health of tbe people of this state and in the future will continue to be harmful and particularly so if promoted and extended by means of Mrs. Eddy's residuary gift." George W. Glover. A WONDERFUL STREAM. Tt Miisitsippi River, Its Magnitude and the Area It Drains. The Mississippi river, lying wholly Within the teiai'rnt- zone, is in this respect more fortunately xltuated tbun the more fertile vnlk-yeil Amazon, since the climate here, varied utid Hoinetlmes Inhospitable as It i. offers conditions of human development there denied. Tlie m:iin stream is 200 miles in length that Is, about ten times that of the Seine. As il:irk Twain bus ssld. it Is "tbe crookedest river" In the world, traveling 1.000 miles to cover the same ground that a crow would fly over In 675. For several hundred miles it Is a mile In width, iiatk In 1SS2 it was seventy miles wide when the flood was highest. The volAne of water discharged by it Into thtt sea Is second only to the Amazon and Is greater than that of all European rivers combined (omitting V . j -v.- -.-v : -jc f.f:o ff:::.--' tbe Volga). The amount Is ettlmuttl at 189 cubic miles annually hit la, It would fill annually a tank 138 mile -long, 13d miles wMe and 189 mile high. With its tributaries it provides somewhat more than 16,000 miles of navigable water, more than any other system on the globe except the Amn ion and more than enough to reach, from Lake Superior to Paris by way of Kamchatka and Alaska, about three-fourths of tbe way around th globe. Tbe sediment deposited ta 40O,-O 000.000 tons, enough to require dally for its removal BOO trains of fifty cars, each carrying fifty tons, and to mak -each ysar two square miles of new earth over a hundred (est deep.
