TINE sClENCE or DOrIs

"Dcrlatry" is the title of a study by
Professor James Suliy concerning the
true inwardness Of dolls He finds in
all the vast range Of dolldom a ten
denoy CT the child to select what is
rudely suggestive of the human form.
Children when in the serious mood
or dcll-r.ay appear to regard their
dolls as beings like themselves. They
are treated as il they We're alive" as
having senses, understanding, affec-
tons, and even a rudimentary con-
science. This, the professor declares,
seems, so far as we can guess, to be
the DON idea. the indwelling precon-
ception which coiors the child's per-
ceptions and directs her actions"
Here is a mystery. I'VE have here to
do with what is technically called an
illusion Of sense. Our sO-ca,led
art-iliusions, even that Of the theater,
are probably cold cynical disilusions
by the side Of the child's true doll H.
lusiOn.' That the doll is chiefly
girls plaything suggests the presence
OF the maternal instinct; and "the de-
cline Of the doli-passion" may be
largely due to 'the Development Of
new feeling OF maidensy modesty."

both Of Smiths Island. Nd. by the local

Maryland captains was catching oysters

may be true that the Maryland men werc
violating the Virginia law. the virginia
authorities had no right TO pursue the
Noiators and arrest them In Maryland
waters and take them into the state o,
Virginia FOR trial. Both Of the Maryland
captains were arrested within The waterr
Of Maryland and taken to Drumtovn
va. The case Is Identical with the on.
which occurred In 1898. when Governor
Brown interfered and succeeded IN hav-
ing the boats seized and returned 10 the
State OF Maryland. Mr. Dryden was ask
ed TO communicate with Governor I.own.
des Immediately. asking his assistance IN
the matter Mr.. Dryden replied that he
would do 70. The proper course FOR tho
Virginia authorities TO pursue I'm such
cases is TO obtain a requlsition for the
