Ian Maclaren, the famous novelist. the ologian and preacher. has for several years been believer in the new science.
 He says: ''I believe 1t is possible for persons hundreds of miles apart to talk to one another without wires.
 This mysterious signalling most ire quently makes itself felt iD the hour of trouble, and 1t Is often a call for help.
 "One afternoon, to give a striking in- stance of it, I made up my list of sick people and started on my rounds. After completing the first, and while going along the rain road. at about 3:30 o'clock. felt a-strong impulse to turn down side street and call on a family living in 1t
 '"The impulse grew 50 urgent that 1t could not be resisted, and rang the bell. considering on the doorstep what reason should give for an unexpected call.
 ''When the door opened 1t turned out that strangers now occupied the house, and that my family had gone tp another addreSs in the same street. the precise number being unknown.
 "Still the pressure continued. as if hand were drawing me, and set out to discover their new house. till had dis turbed four families with vain inquiries. Then I abandoned my quest with a sense of shame. Had a busy clergyman not enough to do without going on a wild goose chase?

In the reign of good Queen Anne due,s were no less frequent than in the rowdy, riotous days of Charles II.

 The duel was fought with swords in Hyde Park. the challenge having been sent by Mohun to the Duke. who had. with perfect accuracy. stated that one of Mohun's creatures had neither truth nor justice in him." The Duke of Hamilton received a wound in the right side of the leg. about seven inches long; another in the right arm; a third in the upper rlrt of thc breast, running down ward toward the body; a fourth on the outside of the lift les,

 "Telepathy is no longer a theory" says Bishop Fallows 1t Is a fact. have been interested in 1t for years. and the thing am Vondering now is how to bring 1t into common everyday use.
 Tt works on the same principle as the new wireless telegraphy of Mir. Marconi. I will hail him as q benefactor of the human race who will teach people how to use this tremendous psychic force.
 Bishop FaIlows was first attracted to telepathy by a strange case which hap pened in his own parish.
 A young merchant, who had several days before buried his wife. was awaken ed in the night by her voice He heard her distinctly calling his name and ask ing for help
 So impressed was he by this mysterious message that he sprang to his feet dresssa end drove at once to the grave.
