The Rainniakers.

The Secretary of the Interior has given up
the experiments which the Government has
been making for some years past to induce
rain over arid tracts. The railroad COM
panies operating in New Mexico and Arizona
will, however, continue experiments along
this line. Getting blood out of turnip
would not be a difficult operation if the
plebian vegetable contained blood, and so
artificial methods might precipitate moisture
in the form of rain if there were any in the
atmosphere but there are places where the
air is as moistureless as hades, and neither
powder nor dynamite can shake out Of it
what it does not hold.

Within dozen years past new thought
forces have stirred the world, shaking popu-
lar credence in time-honored faiths, vivifying
philosophy, challenging science, permeating
literature, and thrilling the minds and hearts
OF thinkers with an awakened consciousness
evoking echoes in the soul like chords of
long-forgotten music. The oldest of the old
faiths, the basis of all historic time has
known, once again commanded the attention
of humanity and was hailed universally as
new thing, so long had even the memory Of
it been hidden beneath layers of dogma,
creed and ritual. 1t was called Theosophy,
the name it bore in ancient Greece; the same

body is moulded. The principles acting
through the astral medium are Kama and
Manas. The former is the 'sanimal SOUL"
impeller of sensuous desires and energy, a
potent power for debasement if uncontrolled.
Manas (Which signifies mind is susceptible
of subdivision into the "lower," which
affords intellectual direction in life, the
dominating force in material matters during
mundane existence and is properly known as
the human soul. Yielding to the seductions
and influences of the animal soul it may al
together lose its hold upon the higher prin-
ciples, and at the end of life of evil, drop
with the personality to which it belongs-out
of the chain of evolutionary re-incarnation.
The "higher" Manas, with the Atmic ray of
pure spirit from the Divine source, and the
connecting link, or bond, between them,
known as Buddhi (wisdom), constitute the
spiritual soul-or sAtma- Manasic triad
the true individuality, which passes through
the experiences of many personalities, but is
"birthless and deathless and changeless for
ever" This spiritual soul is the sever con-
scious seer and knower," and directs the
selection by the human soul, in proportion to
It's Karmic deserts, of the fteshly bodies in
which the stages of its pilgrimage shall be
made.
This necessarily condensed skeleton of the
theosophic belief of course, is far from ex-
haustive, and leaves much that for clear
understanding should be greatly amplified.
1t is enough, however, to give an idea of the
main features of the new-old wisdom re-
igion, for the exposition of which SO much
is being done to-day all over the world.
Three printing establishments solely for
the production of their own literature, are
maintained by the Theosophists in New York,
London and Bombay. They have seen fit
also to adopt some of the Christian methods
of diffusing ideas, through Sunday schools,
which they call 'Lotus CiEcles,'' in nearly all
the large cities; through seventy day schools
in Ceylon and India; through a ssPropaganda
Department" which has a very large staff of
widely scattered and very active workers;
through Correspondence Department.
which started first here in New York, and
finds abundant occupation in aiding students
of the esoteric knowledge, which underlines

all the fields OF action. Loan libraries classes
for study Of the s'Secret Doctrine and weekly
meetings for discussion of theosopaaic topics
are common in all the branches. Great as
the theosophic movement seems to be, it
promises to become very much greater in
the near future.

laws and il we do not obey them so far as
they are known to us, we must suffer the con-
sequences; also, If we violate his laws uncon-
-sciously, the resultant suffering will be at
once punishment, an instruction and
warning. sT5A
1t is very evident that no such system OF
justice could find adequate field for its appli
cation within the limitations of human life,
however long. Hence the second dogma,
that of "Re-Incarnation." The Theosophist
and Christian will agree that at least soul is
as indestructible as science knows matter to
be. But the former sees no place in the
scheme of evolution, as it presents itself to
his mind, for the concept of constant creation,
for the coming into existence of anything
which has previously been positively non
existent. Consequently he does not believe
that God occupies himself with the constant
manufacture Of new souls for the new COM
binations of changeful but deathless atoms
called babies Furthermore, the Theoso-
phist fails to see it as probable that in the
short span Of single mundane life, tram
melled by environment, hampered by neces-
sity, beguied by temptation and enslaved by
the body, any soul can justly deserve, by its
acts, the reward of a sempiternity of either
heaven or he'll. Hence he believes that
Though man die, yet shall he live again."
and that he shall have, in the body, the re-
suits of deeds done in the body; Gas he sows,
so shall he reap That his ideas may not
be considered quite unique, in this regard,
by those who now read of them for the first
time, it may be casually mentioned that the
early Christian fathers taught this doctrine;
that warrant is found in the words of Christ
for believing that it was by him accepted as
foregone conclusion; that the great Ameri-
can philosophers affirmed it, and that it is to-
day an article OF faith to about eight millions
of human beings.
The theosophic philosophy may be said to
postulate two quite distinct yet closely inter-
woven lines of heredity, through which the
laws of Karma and Reformation become
operative. One is that of the body, in which
physical characteristics and diseases are
transmitted; the other can hardly be cor
rectly spoken Of as heredity, since it is really
the continuance Of the mind and higher prin-
ciples which in each new personality receive
as an Inheritance from those preceding the
boon or burden of their deserts. But this is
not the limit of theosophy's division of the
composite man, which goes much beyond the
orthodox segregation into body and soul.
From the theosophic standpoint, the
body is not a principle" but merely a
temporary "house Of clay" infused by
a ''life principle" which is universal,
inextinguishable and which, upon the death
of the body, simply goes out again to the
general life-wave for entrance into and vivi-
fication of other forms. And the body as we
see and know it, is but an insensate, power
less clod, all its apparent sensations and i'm
pulses having their origination, perception
and direction in higher, intangible principles,
and manifesdng through the "astraP' form

standing-at all poisonous if handled. Ala
though so long in coming to maturity, thu
time varying for different varieties from on
to seventeen years, the active life of this
cicada is only about two months, and il
usually terminates near the place of its birth.
The female lays her eggs under the bark of
branches, and about six weeks afterward the
grubs fall to the ground. in which they har-
row at depths varying from one to three feet.
Here they undergo six distinct changes be-
fore after their long period of alternating
they again come to the light.
When the locusts or cicadas appear on the
surface they are encased in hard shell like
a crab, and like crab this shell is cast by
rent up the back from which the creature
emerges. Although the development has
been so slow, there are no wings apparent
when the she'll is cast, yet so rapid is their
growth that three hours afterward the long
creature can fly The peculiar whirling
noise that distinguishes the cicada is made
by the male only, and is produced by rub

sonant wings.

I am glad to see that the use of fruit is get
ting to be more general. Even in households
that are managed very economically, fruit is
found on the table for breakfast. When I
was a girl, there were but two methods of
preserving fruit for winter use: one was to
dry it, and the other to boil it down with
sugar. Now fruits are canned and dried by
new process, and transportation is so cheap
and frequent between the semi-tropic parts
of the country and the North, that without a
great increase in price we can have fruits all
the year round. dislike very much to eat
