NEW THEORY CT THOUGHT.
1t Is Vibrations of Ether-Telepathy
Is Wireless Telegraphy

In his new work, entitled The Drones
Must Die, Max Nordau gives the fol-
lowing as the opinion OF one OF his
characters regarding the properties OF
ether" that subtle force which is be-
lieved to convey the vibrations set up
by wireless telegraphy from one point
to another:
He held that thoughts are yibra-
ton of ether, exactly like warmth, cleo
tricity and light. Their sum in the
universe is unvarying, like that OF all
other forces. They are diffused in
space like rays of light or electric
currents. Millions and billions of yari-
Gus vibrations strike necessarily upon
the human brain, constituting the in
Vulnerable thoughts that have been
thought in all the stars in all the
depths of space, now or in aeons OF in
conceivable remoteness. II brain De
prepared for vibration Of certain
duration and wave-length, an equal Vi
bration is aroused within it, and the
thought which this vibration repre-
sents becomes conscious. In the
ascending portion of the circular
course, which we call development. the
brain becomes capable of ever shorter
and more rapid vibrations; in the de-
scending portion it becomes coarser
and more sluggish. Every invention,
every discovery, every enlargement OF
the bounds of knowledge is due 70 the
attainment by some brain of that de-
gree OF vibratory capacity which en-
ables it to receive the corresponding
vibration of thought flashed upon /,
from space, and to convert it into con-
sciousness. Hence it follows that no
thought originates in the brain that
thinks it; for every thought ha- been
thought before, and will be thought
again and again to all eternity; every
brain acts like a relay in an electric
system; it receives an impulse from
eternity, and retransmits it TO eternity
after its passage. The whole ocean OF
possible thoughts surges round us; but
we are only conscious of those 70
which our brains are sensitive. The
differences in wisdom are differences
in the vibratory capacity OF the
molecular mass of the brain. Charac-
ter, temperament, talent are the ex-
preston of wave lengths and periods
of vibration. Every individual is
rhythm. Attraction and repulsion be-
tween individuals are caused by the
harmony or dissonance OF their
rhythms, their reinforcing or disturb
ing effect upon each other"

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Up to the present time most of the
gold has been found in the easily ac-
cessible districts near the coasts,
though the natives of the interior of
Luzon, a region but little explored,
traffic in the precious metal, which
they evidently obtain from some Of
the inland streams. As yet placer
deposits are the chief source of the
metal, which has been worn by the
rains from the mountain ranges and
borne down by riyulets and creeks
to their lower channels. In certain
or small, whose sands do not show
the yellow trace of gold, while now
and then natives of the interior offer
heavy nuggets for sale. The gold
thus buried in the river sands and
gravels undoubtedly had its source
in the mountain ranges, whose quartz
veins await the hand and eye of the
cunning miner. They may be rich
they may be poor: only scientific
study and exploration can ten. The
principal gold-yielding region Of Luz
zon is the district of Mambulao. The
metal has been found also in Min
danao, Mindoro, Panay, Cebu, and the
smaller islands of Samar, Catanduanes,
Sibuyan Bohol and Panaon. One Of
the larger islands Mindoro, gains its
name from its gold deposits, its name
signifying nina de ora gold mine), The
natives speak Of places in It's interior
of the large island of Mindanao, where
gold is so plentiful that the natives
carry it about in bags for use in their
ordinary buying and selling. Here are
the Misams placers, the richest in the
archipelago, their yield to the native
miners being about $50 ounces a
month. Rich quartz veins are said to
be known in this island, and there is
one such vein in the small island of
Panaon. lying north of Mindanao; but
pally in placer beds, and these not
very rich as compared with those of
California. Personally | know little
about these gold grayels, as have
seen only some of their results. They
are so widely distributed and are
worked in so desultory manner that
their actual richness is largely a mat
ter of guesswork. AS regards the
mother veins, / have made no search
for them, and am quite sure that the
Spaniards have not troubled them
selves in this direction. They rest in
virgin wealth, waiting in their pristine
state the coming of the American min
ing prosqector They will have to be
deeply hidden indeed if they escape his
penetrating eyes.-Ramon Reyes Lala

COTTON SEED OIL MILL.
ONE MAY BE STARTED HERE
WITH OUTSIDE AND LO-
CAL CAPITAL,

1t Is rumored in business circles that
a large cotton seed oil mill may be es-
tablished in or near Norfolk In the
near future. In fact, if rumor is re-
liable, the negotiations have reached
the stage that almost make it an as
sured fact.
1t is stated that the agent of q
large. concern that operates several cot
ton seed and lnseed oil mills, has been
spending some time In Norfolk OF late,
presumably to complete the necessary
arrangements for the establishment of
this new enterprise and that he is ex-
pected back again this week to close
the deal.
While here he was In consultation
with local capitalists and 1t is said that
local capital will be largely repre-
scented in the mill. Norfolk Is generally
recognized as an excellent distributing
point and as 1t is the center OF a rich
trucking section, it Is also a local
market for the sale of large quantities
of fertilizers into many of which cot
ton seed enters largely after it's oil has
been secured for other uses.
This fact alone has. no doubt, been
carefully considered by the projectors
of the mill.
