Harvesting the Ether.

Tesla once made remark which was
full of the spirit of future progress i'll
the matter of lighting. 1T is of not
little interest,"" he said, ito contem-
plate that we have a possible way OF
producing - by other than chemical
means-a veritable flame which would
give light and heat without any materi-
al being consumed. without any chem
ical process taking place, and to accom-
plish this we only need to perfect meth
DDS of producing enormous frequencies
and potentials.
These words of Mr.. Tesla contain a
suggestion the full meaning of which
has lately been more thoroughly under
stood. To produce something from moth
ing has ever been great human problem
not always solvable. Here is scien-
fist pointing ont IA scientific way of ac-
complishing the feat The hidden mean
ing Of the remark is not hard to discern.
His words would seem to intimate THAI
we have been employing exceedingly
crude methods of light production; that
| in the laboratory of nature means ano
material exist which may be procured
and used for the mere asking; that oul
proper course would be to first see how
| light is produced in nature, and thel
as far as possible to go and do likewise

solution of many great secrets of the uni
verse, the utilization of natural light

One of Grants Victories.

One of General Grants q eatest VIC
tories was not won in war, but IN times
of profound peace. On Apri 2s, 1874,
be vetoed an imitation bill which had
passed both houses of congress, by de-
cided majorities, and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions 10 those clanor-
ing for more money. The pressure
for the bill was not all pc litical. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order 10 "stop agita-
ton" In this trying stu; ton President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
partisanship and clear conception of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions of immediate
business expediency.
He vetoed the bill bee ause III theory
it would produce initiation. The tneo-
ry,' he declared. "in my belief IS de-
parture from the true principles of
finance. rational interest, aatioral obli-
cations to creditors, ocngres sional prom
Use, party pledges OH the prt of both
political parties and of per sonal views
and promises made by me in every an
nual message sent TO congress and I'D
| each inaugural address,
So far from being settlement,
the bill invited agitation. Should
| it fail to create the abundance OF
circulation expected of it, the friends
of the measure, particularly those out
of congress, would clamor for such
| initiation as would give the expect
| ed relief" And he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, u
am not believer in any artificial meth
cd of making paper money equal &c
coin when the coin is not owned OF
held ready to redeem the promises &C
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex
actly in proportion to the amount o.
coin that it can be converted into.

are not yet all fought. Grants words
and acts should inspire those engaged IL

Mr.. c. d. Hanchette returned Tuesday
evening from business trip to the State
capital.
Hon. William Harry is home from De-
A Typical New England.

Indian Ridge, says Alvan f. Sanborn.
speaking of typical New England
community in The Atlantic, has all the
defects of all its qualities, and possibly
some others besides. 1t is narrowly par
tisan in its politics; gossiping and med
ding in its temper toward matters OF
purely private concern; religion, here
as elsewhere, in spite Of general
wholesomeness, is not entirely free
from hypocrisy, morality from inhu-
mainly and self complacency, integrity
from cruel hardness, nor thrift and fore
sight from parsimoniousness and worry.
1t is very little alive to the finer issues
Of country living. Most of them are not
so much as suspected by it. For all the
mutual helpfulness and Astounding sense
of humor, the life lacks flexibility, mol
lowness, warmth, emotion and emotion
al expression. 1t is indisputably triste
Nevertheless Indian Ridge exempli-
fes the best tendencies of the New Eng
land country. These tendencies, owing
to its comparative isolation, have been
manifested in unique and homely ways
in some instances, but the tendencies
are none the less sound and healthy on
that account. They are present to a con-
siderable if not an equal degree, not in
all, not in the majority, perhaps, but III
many of the rural communities in every
one of the New England states. If all
instead of small part of these commu-
mites were even thus literally endow.
ed. there could be no plant over the
decadence Of rural New England, foi
they have in them the germs of perma-
nent progress. Rather they are them
selves the very essence of corporate life

and articles rich in beauty and used for
every sort of gifts, wedding and the like.
This artist makes for the ornamental
ton of any piece of work IN when
metals are used, first, black and white
sketch ON paper which is accurately
copied before the article is hammered
into shane. Often, if silver is the de-
sired plan, a flower effect is grouped dl-
rectlv from nature; or sometimes con-
ventional pattern in gold is full OF ar
tistic merit.
After certain number of orders are
completed Miss Marshall, like the true
business woman she is, makes "a tour
of the different towns and cities to
sell or obtain orders for a number or
these artistic wares, which find their
vay into the homes Of celebrated people.
For some years now Miss Marshall mas
contributed articles for the art maya
zines, showing with distinctness how a
simple pine box can be converted into q
level stand of marvellous beauty and
how the bones Of animals can be ground
down and highly colored in beautiful
tints and made to do duty as napkin
rings, vases, cologne bottles and the
| like. Whenever sketch is made, then
the design is destroyed, so that really
only one pattern is used. And as these
iridescent specialties are not found Ill
any store their value naturally increases
| from year to year. This season Mrs.
Cleveland ordered special piece for
| wedding present, while Sir Henry lrv'
ing and Ellen Terry carried with them
to England some of these novelties
Among these choice designs this season
the pap spoon is revived-the exact
pattern of those used in England many
years ago. In the making OF these beau
tiful Communications Miss Marshall be
lieves the simpler the form the more IN
trinsic the value.
Miss Marshall is very English in ap
pearance, her stature small and Sc
off by "a trim little figure. Her work
she declares. is one i'm which much pa
tience should be exercised, especially II
the designing, for choice variety ha
to be given to meet the demand.

An English statistician says there Is
not much of psychological mystery Ill
the fact that so many more people com
nit suicide in summer than III winter
and he does not think that the differ
ence is in any large measure due to the
direct effect of cold upon human minds
and bodies. 1t must be borne i'll men,
ory, he says, that drowning is the com
monest method of self destruction and
resort to it is difficult or impossible
when rivers and ponds are covered with
ice. This accounts for part OF the de-
crease. Another part is explained by
the circumstance that in cold weather
people live more i'll association, and
there is thus less opportunity for com
uniting suicide. He does not think,
however, that it is possible to explain
the matter wholly without reference TO
the depressing effects of cold on the
nervous system and the exciting effects
of heat. 1t requires some energy ana
determination to commit suicide, AND
this is lacking i'll person suffering
from extreme cold. All these considera
tions working together, the result Il
that many people endure through the
| winter life which they have ceased tC
value and throw it away when the sea
son comes in which the material diff
culties in the way of continued exist
ence are at their minimum.

PHILOSOPHICAL THEORY.
The Coming Race of Americans With n
Sixth Sense.

The Coming Race of Americans With n
Sixth Sense.
1.-THE Coming Race In America and Its
Sixth Sense" was the subject of n lecture
by John NJ Pryse at the Harlem Theosoph-
ical society rooms. Among other things
he said
There are evidences corroborating theos
ophy that n new type of man, with sixth
sense, will appear in America This was
also foretold by Bulwer Lytton, whose
marvellous mystical novels, "Zanoni, "A
Strange Story" and Coming Race, were
little understood or appreciated until the
advent of modern theosophy. Now they
are read intelligently and we can under
stand that Lytton must have received his
knowledge from the Brotherhood of
Adopts You may ask how it is possible to
know what may come in the future l an
swer that this brotherhood, possessing the
records for millenniums of past civiliZa-
tions-lke the lost Atlantis-are enabled
to observe that races, like individuals, go
through infancy, maturity and, II they de-
serve it, dissolution. Knowing the innu-
merable cycles of the past, they can esti-
mate what the future will bring forth,
like the astronomer foretelling the return
| of the comet.
The formation of u new, unheard of type
of humanity requires mixture OF all ex-
listing bloods, and nowhere but in Amer
| lea is that requisite found. Each great race
perfects one of the Senses and we OF the
| fifth race, our present humanity, must jog
| along with only five senses. The coming
race will be the sixth and consequently
will have an additional sense. Pioneers OF
this race are beginning to appear, having
the sixth sense partly developed. 1t Is not
| clairvoyance-whch is but the astral twin
Of eyesight-but the ability to sense vibrl-
lions in the region of the X rays. 1t is
connected with flashes of inventive genius.
Americans have been called race of in
ventors, nearly every great invention OF
modern times having been produced here.
Thus the most marvellous inventions and
innovations and the application of adj
yanced ideas will create in time new CIV
ilization now impossible to conceive of.
