It is established that Folsom, just before his death, had been standing next to Ned Barron, known a3 the copper king. Then the startling announcement it made that Folsom had been stabbed to death in the water. Rosa, his valet, is questioned, as are Barron and his wife, but no light is shed on the mystery. Anastasia Folsom, eccentric and masterful sister of the dead man, arrives and takes command. At the inquest it is established that the death weapon was a pichaq, an Oriental knife, and that it and its scabbard had been purchased on the boardwalk. It is_ also established that Croydon Sears is a fancier of curious knives. Anastasia engages Titus Riggs to v.ci-k on the case. He asks permission to go through the dead man's effects.

According to the mission, the airship service between London ■ and Autralla will be inaugurated in about two years' time. The meteorological conditions for flying In Australia are regarded as being mast favortohle, but the visibility in Tasmania Is regarded as presenting some difficulty, the mountainous country having a tendency to bank up the clouds, and at certain times fog in the northern part of the state would have to be reckoned with. However, the mis regards a service between Victoria and Tasmania as being quite within the bounds of practicability. A much smaller type of airship than the ones being built for the London-Australia trade would suffice, and they would make the journey at a speed of 60 miles an hour in four hours, instead of 17 to 18 hours, the time taken by steamer. It is probable that within a comparatively short time an airplane service for passengers and mails will be inaugurated. The Commonwealth Government is undertaking a topographical survey of Tasmania, and the work will involve the employment of an airplane. It will be the first time that an airplane has been employed in such work in Australia. Tasmania covers !6,000 square miles, and is sgarded as the most thoroughly mountainous country in the world. Its greatest length is 180 miles and its greatest breadth 190 miles. Cyclonic depressions follow one another so rapidly across the Great Australian Bight that every variety of weather is commonly provided within a period of three or four days. The altitude varies from sea level to 5,000 feet. It is anticipated that the topographical survey will occupy about mths.

John Walter Houck, Congregationalist and pastor of the Pilgrim Churct in New York, writeo in the second issue of the new magazine, "Atheism which represents a normal reaction from specific beliefs or concepts, is beautitfully and hopefully attractive. It is the only argument which assures us of blessed revolt---which Is the wellspring and fount of progress. The theist experiences God through the moral life; the pantheist ■ through nature, and the atheist, as well as the materialist, through science." Dr. Houck points out that history revoals men who were regarded by their own generation as unbelievers, were discovered by later generations to have been most devout believers. "These men," he continues in "Plain Talk," "have been called atheists, and have been the target of many inferiority complexes, only because they denied some orthodox concept of God or religion familiar to their generation, and because they sought a higher idea. Socrates was, for the Greeks, an atheist of this type. The atheists of old weer devotees of physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy. The atheists to-day are in the field of psychology. The atheist has been, and still is, a nightmare to our religious mind--quite foolishly."
