Modern British audiences like to see kissing in
burlesques and pantomimes, and it is thought
to amuse the children. So Dame Mary Quite
Contrary sings her famous song:

all kiss again and dance until the postman

The afternoon is growing late. and it is just
time for the entrance of Squire Oofess, who
is gotten up like q sport. He sings 1.-The Man
Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" and de-
clares that he has come to award prizes at the
village games.
The village games give room for o spectacle
in the nature of a ballet; hundreds of young
ladies pass by the footlights in groups that rep
resent skating, tennis, shooting. boating, polo,
swimming and a score of other pastimes.
There is no dancing to speak Of throughout the
evening, except when Miss Mabel Love, some

of her justly celebrated variations on the skirt

Mind Conversation.

Mind Conversation.
From the London Spectator.
Mr.. W. H. Preece, chief engineer and cleo
trician to the post Office. has put up WIRE mile
long on the coast near Lavernock and a shorter
wire on Flatholm. little island three miles of
in the British channel. He fitted the latter
wire with "sounder" to receive messages and
sent q message through the former from a pow
erful telephone generator. That message on
the mainland was distinctly heard on the island,
though nothing connected the two, or, in other
words, the possibility of q telephone between
places unconnected by wire was conclusively
established.
There is possibility here Of inter-planetary
communication good deal more worthy atten-
ton than any scheme for making gigantic cleo
trio flashes. We do not know if we can COM
municate by telephone through the ether to
New York or Melbourne, with or without ca
bles, but we do know that if we cannot the fault
Is i'll our generators and saunders and not in
any prohibitory natural law.
Will our habitual readers bear with us for a
moment as We wander into another and as
many OF them will think. a supersensual region?
The thought in a man brain which causes him
to advance his foot must move something in
doing it, or how could it be transmitted down
that five or six feet of distance? II it moves a
physical something internal to the body why
should it not move also something external a
wave, as we all agree to call it, which on an
other mind prepared to receive it-ftted with
a sounder, in fact-will make an impact having
all the effect in the conveyance Of suggestion,
or even OF facts Of the audibility of words?
Why, in fact, if one wire can talk to another
without connection. save through ether. should
not mind talk to mind without any wire at all?
None Of us understand accurately, or even as
yet approximately, what the conditions are;
but many Of us know for certain that they have
occasionally, and by what we call accident,
been present to particular individuals, and that.
when present, the communication is completed
without cables, and mind speaks to mind in
dependenty OF any machinery not existing
within itself.
Why, in the name of science, is that more Of
q miracle-that is. an occurrence prohibited by
immutable law, than the transmission Of Mr.
Preece's message from Lavernock to Flat
