The Color Ghosts

In India there are men who say
they can see things no one else ever
saw or can see. These men sit in the
full sunshine in a street where all the
houses are white, and they tell anyone
who is foolish enough to pay them
for the information that they can see
a mans astral body. or course. II is
very startling to have a solemn old
man tell you that you have two bod.
les. One is your real body, that ev-
eryone can see, and the other is your
star body or astral body that he says
he can see. He says he sees your as.
trail body standing beside you or float.
ing in the air near you, and that IL
exactly resembles your real body, ex.
cept that the ghost wears clothes of
different color. There is, in fact, no
ghost body, and these men do not see
II. They do see something, but they
do not know what II is.
Make silhouette figures of men each
one and one.half inches wide and two
inches high, placed in a row, with
hai< inch space between them. One
printed in bright red ink. one in bright
blue ink and one in bright green ink.
Each figure should be printed on black
or have a black border.
Take this paper to room where
there is brightly lighted window; II
sunny, so much the better. Fold the
color can rest with their heads close TO
the window. Cover the red and the
green man with black paper or cloth.
leaving the blue figure exposed to the
light. Draw the shade down till II
cuts off all the light except on the
paper, and draw down all the other
shades to make the room dark. Place
table near the window and lay upon
II a large sheet Of white or pale gray
paper. Then sit at the table where
the colored figure and the blank paper
can be seen without moving from the
seat. Then look steadily without
glass; at the blue figure for sixty sec.
onds. Then look steadily at the
blank paper for another minute.
The effect is surprising, for floating
about on the paper will be the ghost
of little pale yellow figure resembling
the blue figure. You may also notice
that, even while looking at the blue
figure. flashes of pale yellow light
seem to dance all about in the air.
Next rest the eyes for minute or two
in the darkened room, and cover the
blue figure with the black cloth and
uncover the red figure. Repeat the
experiment and you will see a pale
green ghost on the blank paper. Rest
again and try the green figure, and you
will see a pink ghost.

One Of the greatest lessons of the
recent Navy and Army maneuvers is
that we need more maneuvers. The
Coast Artillery learned so much in the
brief period Of six days that 1t will
have difficulty in assimilating 1t all.
Looking over the field In its grander
features the first point that strikes the
student is the necessity for more com.
plete organization of the coast artil-
lery. The two districts of New Lon.
don and Narragansett constitute to-
gether a strategic unit, for which the
artillery itself should have an officer
of proper rank, a Brigadier General.
The department commander himself
took charge, but this Is no more appro-
pirate than if ne were to command d.
rectly in the field one of the brigades
Of his division. These two districts
form unit for covering the entrance
TO Long Island Sound and must be
commanded by a single commander in
order to obtain the best results, for
the attacking feet can pass from one
to the other with surprising rapidity.
The districts, too. must be really
commanded, not by commanding one
fire command more than another, but
by so directing the general action in
any one district that fire commands
will not waste their power. 1t will
probably appear from the reports that
some warships received several times
the number Of shots necessary to put
them out of action, while others re.
manned untouched.
This can be avoided only by prop.
er distribution or concentration OF
the fire Of different fire commands.
4 But II is a mistake to have the district
command in the same station or even
the same locality as a fire command,
because the district commander will
necessarily lose sight of the general
action in his interest in the phase OF
II under his immediate view, and he
will take away all initiative and com
mand from the local fire commander
He should have a separate central sta
ton, where he can command a view
of his entire district, II possible, al
though the latter is no more essential
than II would be for Colonel in the
field TO overlook the entire line cover
ed by his regiment.

what do you want to do most of all?
Go on cutting out pictures?'
NO. I'm tired of that. What
want 10 do most is to write a story for
the children's page bout my Moses.
You must write it, an III tell you
what to write. She is the most cum
ningest kitten that ever was. She does
more funny things than that httie you
read about last week.
Bob went for paper and pencil,
which he put down beside Rose. and
Moses climbed up beside her to see
what was going on.
Suppose you begin the story while
run out and tell Roy | cant go hunt
ing with him this afternoon. Don't
stir till l come back, will you, Rose?'
How long?" asked Rose anxiously.
oh, a minute or two; you can write
on the paper, but don't get down out
Of your chair"
"All right, | won't, honor bright
said Rose, and Bob knew she always
did what she promised, especially
when she said "honor bright"
It's a plagued sheme!" said Roy
when Bob told him. Cant you tie her
up somehow, and come on for little
while?"
She's as good as tied up now" said
Bob, for she's promised me not to
stir"
"Hark! What's that" asked Roy.
Both boys listened
Sounds like a brass band said
Bob.
Lets Just run down to the turn to
see what II is
Both boys ran to the turn, and far
far down the road they saw a cloud of
dust They watched 1t for a moment.
"A circus." gasped Bob.
1t was the first time in the lifetime
OF those two boys that circus had
come to their little farming town. Bob
and Roy forgot poor little Rose, and
tore down the road to meet the circus.

til recently been entirely in the hands
OF the engineers, who are responsible
for the present location of our forts.
Nevertheless, II Is but fair to state
that when our new system OF fortified.
lions was begun they we're limited to
the military reservations then exist
ing. Many of the forts are so placed
that guns with range of several
miles have a sector of fire limiting
their use to but small arc, and often
to but short ranges. when they might
just as well have been placed where
they could obtain over half a clrcum.
ference Of arc and all ranges up to
their maximum. Again in some in.
stances, as In the New London dis.
trict. the emplacements were subject
to reverse fire, which Is a serious en-.
cheering blunder.
The range.fnder stations originally
we're also located by the engineers,
but for the later ones the Coast Artil.
lery is invariably consulted. The les.
sons regarding them are very impor.
tant. Perhaps the most striking les.
son brought out by the maneuvers IL
that every vertical base range.fnder
must be supplemented by horizontal
base system. The former must be
high to be OF any use, but in that case
becomes an easy target for the enemy,
unless II is armored, like those In Eu.
rope; whereas the horizontal base
stations can be low. easily protected
against capture by a proper force.
These horizontal base stations may
prove invaluable for transmitting In
formation other than range finding, a.
was actually the case In the Nara
gansett district, while their presence
in the New London district might
have prevented the feet from surpris'
ing the forts.
The searehiight.
The last great element to be refer
red to Is the searchlight, and the first
lesson taught In regard to II was that
none smaller than a 60inch light
should be issued to the Coast Artil
lery. because the smaller ones are en-
tirely inadequate to cover a proper
water area, and are more apt to aid
the fleet than the defence. The sec
ond lesson was that they must be
