pie see pictures of real persons and
real things in this way? Mr.. Lang
hints that it may be "a rudimental
survival of some organ that was use
full to man when his ancestors were
other kinds of animals" The secre-
tary of the Psychical Research Society
says that as a result OF Mr.. Lang's
article he has been having more or
ders for crystals than he can execute.
The only trouble is that Mr.. Lang
held out the false hope that a crystal
could be bought for as little as half
a crown, whereas the lowest price at
which they can be furnished is 4 shil-
lings each.-London Correspondence

Very encouraging reports have been
received from Prof. c. C. Georgeson,
in charge of the agricultural expert
ment stations in Alaska. On a trip
into the interior and down the Yukon
early in August he found new pota-
toes, cabbages, caulifiowers and other
vegetables ready for the tablc, and
gardens blooming with a variety of
animal flowers. At Rampant rye and
barley were ripened this year. and
there was a fair prospect for oats and
wheat. On the lower Yukon extensive
tracts were found covered with lux
uriant grasses, often six feet in height.
and apparently well suited to agricul-
tural purposes.-Youth's COMPANION.
