An n pertinent Inni MAKES US ASK,
"What IN Coming"
Mr.. W. II. Preece, chief engineer and
electrician TO the postoffice. has put upa
wire a mile long on the coast near Law
ernock and shorter one on Flatholm,
little island three miles off in the Bristol
channel. He fitted the latter wire with
q "sounder" to receive messages. and
sent u message through the former from
q powerful telephone generator. That
message on the mainland was distinctly
heard on the island. though nothing con-
sected the two, or, in other words, the
possibility Of q telephone between places
unconnected by wire was conclusively
established
There is a possibility here Of inter
planetary communication, good deal
more worthy attention than any scheme
for making gigantic electric flashes. We
do not know If we can communicate by
telephone through the ether to New
York or Melbourne with or without
cables, but we do know that, if we can
not, the fault is in our generators and
saunders, and not in any prohibitory nat
nral law.
Will our habitual readers bear with us
for moment as we wander into another.
and, as many Of them will think, a supra
sensual region? The thought in mans
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? If it
moves physical something, internal to
the body, why should it not move also
something external, wave, as we all
agree to call it, which on another mind
prepared to receive it-ftted with a
Bounder 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, il
one wire can talk to another without con-
nection, save through ether, should not
mind talk to mind without any wire"
at all.
None Of us understands accurately, or
even as yet approximately, what the con-
ditions 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
Independently of any machinery not ex-
listing within itself.
Why, in the name Of science, is that
more of miracle" is, an occur
renee prohibited by immutable law
than the transmission of Mr.. Preece's

prospecting for minerals in the wild noun
famous region south and east Of Mount
Rainier, Wash, found in a wild and almost
inaccessible place the remains Of a camp,
with cooking utensils and some timed pro
visions scattered about, and shortly after,
about mile away, they discovered the
bones and antlers of an elk and the remains
of a human being mixed together and scat
tered about on the bottom alongside Of a

was a hunter, as the barrel and half decayed
