and have more fun.
So far as we can see. the differ-
ence betwten the original and the
revised version of this problem is
of one quantity, not of quality, and
anybody who can't solve the second
by algebra in two minutes or by
"mental arithmetic" in five ought
to go to a night school—a lot. If
confronted with the longer task,
any bright boy of 14, and at least
one bright girl out of a hundred as
old, ought, within the allotted five
minutes, to reel off something like
this: "The first proposition shows
that Mary's age is divided by two
when the difference between her
age and Ann's is twice subtracted
from it. Therefore, Mary's age is
four times the difference between
the two ages. The second propo-
rtion shows that Mary's age taken
.vwice and the difference once make
a total of 117, and, as twice Mary's
age is eight times the difference,
that difference is one-ninth of 117,
or 13. Mary's age is, therefore,
four times 13, or 52, and Ann's age
is 13 less, or 39." Now, will the
eminent mathematician of New Ro-
chelle lie still! Of course, the
above rigamarole, though correct
in every detail, is merely algebra,
disguised, bedeviled and "done in
your head" instead of on paper, as
it ought to be, but that's all of the
most of "mental arithmetic" is,
anyhow, and we've had our fun—
with whom our friend may or may
not guess. Incidentally, we desire
solemnly to inform eminent mathe
maticians everywhere that the only
right way to solve a problem is the
easiest way, and that to tell a child
that any other way is better than
the easiest way is, when the state
ment is believed, to degrade and in
jure that child for life, both men
tally and morally.

The Chicago Elijah
As the press is now having much
to say about this truly remarkable
man, readers of the Sun-Monitor
may find interest in the following
collated items respecting John Alex
ander Dowie, known to the public
as. the Chicago Elijah, who claims
to be the only living preacher of
true Christianity.
It is said nothing is known of
Dowie's early history, except he
was born in Scotland, emigrated to
New South Wales, where he worked
awhile on a newspaper, then drifted
to San Francisco, wandered around
several years unsuccessfully prose-
lyting, living from hand to mouth,
shabby in dress and common in
manners and speech. By what
seemed merely good luck, he drifted
to Chicago in 1893, pitched his tent
near the entrance to the World's
Exposition grounds, raised his
strident voice and in five years be
came the richest preacher on earth,
his fortune was then estimated at
$15,000,000, and now at $20,000,-
000. He is founder and builder of
Zion City, thirty-seven miles north
of Chicago and covers ten square
miles; is president of the City bank
and of the City Land and Invest-
ment company; owns the city stores,
' e planing mill and lace factory
imported bodily from England at a
cost of $1,000,000. He edits two
weekly papers having a hundred
thousand circulation, is high priest
of ten Chicago tabernacles and owns
a $50,000 cottage on the shores
of Lake Michigan; and now the two
great parties of Illinois are bidding
for his political influence. What
does the reader think of Dowie's
hand "for high?"
The creed of Dowie's church
teaches the healing of diseases by
prayer and prohibits employment
of physicians. It forbids the use
of tobacco and intoxicating liquors,
and also attendance at theatres and
card parties. It condemns the Ma-
sonic fraternity.
The general overseer—Dowie—
demands tithes of one-tenth from
the faithful and their savings are
deposited in his bank. He controls
all this wealth and lives like a
prince.

As Extinct as the Dodo.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Like the stage Irishman and his
colleague, the "Dutchman" of the
drama, it is not quite clear that the
"hayseed" of the funny papeHs is a
creature of the imagination rather
than an actual type. He may have
been more or less verdant and un-
sophisticated once, but he is so no
longer. The rural resident of the
Middle West, at any rate, is at no
disadvantage whatever as compared
with the dweller in the city. If
the "jay" of tradition ever had an
existence he has vanished from
this vicinity.
The rural resident of today is
probably better informed on cur-
rent topics than is the average city
dweller because he has more time
to devote to acquiring information.
The "easy mark" from the coun-
try has gone forever, if, indeed, he
existed at all. The confidence man
of today seeks his victims, not in
the rural districts, but among the
tenants of skyscrapers who have a
fancy for Consolidated Lake Supe-
rior and similar investments. The
jay," like the dodo, is extinct.
