ols.y good effect, aud brought tears 10
many eyes.

manifestation here N common eNper-
ieUce. The physical basis OF mind Is
the distinctive question OF modern
philosophy, and the question OF

modern qUestiOnings. The reporter
here stated what he called lt singular

tic.es pointing 10 herOwu head ''dur-
Zee q strange revelation 10 them"

the question is answered" +"
