why People Marve, at Telepathv.

Nothing IN nature is really abnormal 1t
is most probable that power to influence
the minds of others, with susceptibility
to be Influenced by other minds exists in
human beings universally, in a greater or
less degree To the hypothesis, abstracted
ly considered, that mind can act on mind
directly-that is, not only through no
known medium. but without any medium
whatever see no valid objection The
action of mind on body, and that of body
on mind, is far more mysterious than any
action of mind on mind For it is com
paratively easy TO understand that things
of the same kind can affect one another
directly Yet to many persons mysteries
with which they are familiar seem to be
no mysteries at all they wonder only at
that which Is unusual, and marvel at tele-

How the Colorado Desert Was Formed.
Everybody knows, without looking at
the map how Lower California runs south
from the Pacific coast like sort OF tail,
separated from the nited States-for it is
a part of Mexico as some people are not
aware-by a long arm Of the sea called the
Gulf of California. Once upon time the
gulf extended III ii northward direction 300
miles beyond it's present inland limit. Into
this northerly extension the great Colorado
river emptietl millions Of tons of detritus
annually, until the deposit accumulated in
quantity sufficient to shut Off the upper

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS continue to occur to. an alarming degree, most of those of the past week having been of a minor na- ture, but one which occurred on the N. Y. Central road, near Hastings on the Hudson, on Thursday, was of particu- larly bad type, resulting from criminal neglect and in the killing outright of eleven persons, several others being in- iured in various degrees. A northward bound train, stopped on account of slight derangement to engine machinery. A fol- lowing express train was. Jagged or stop ped, and a dagmaR named Herrick was sent back to flag the next express train due. Herrick went inside Hastings de- pot, and while talking with the station master the train he had been sent to stop rushed past, and soon plunged into the cars of the first express. Herriek ran away, and has not been found. It is now said that local accommodation was due at the Hastings station ahead of the ex- press, but had been taken of without mo- tice to the agent. If this is true, Her rick's criminality is light compared with that of those in authority over him.
