"A Statement Of Fact and a Theory.
In the equatorial Pacific from time
Iimmemorial race Of savage sea-farers
have found their way over immense
stretches of the ocean waste voyaging
from island to island without compass
or the simplest form of device for ascer-
tanning position. They place, however,
a probably imaginary dependence upon
"a sort of charm, a network of dry
twigs, irterlaced at random, and jum-
bled together with shells, sharks teeth,
beads, bright seeds, etc. Without these
so-called charts they will not go to sea,
and no reasonable explanation has been
offered by the various naval officers and
other witnesses of the remarkable re-
suits apparently effected thereby. 1t
may be suggested however, to use a
psychological term, that the mysterious
accomplishment is manifestation of
savage subjective consciousness. In
| fuller explanation, it may be said that
when lowly organism receives an inn
pulse to act it responds about as auto
Imatically as q. rubber ball upon impact.
With that organisms advance in the
scale of being, with its possession of VII
denng spheres of perception and multi
plieation of ensory impressions it ac-
quires a supervising intelligence that
Classics the impressions received and
relegates them to their proper source
Hike the automatic switchboard of a tel
ephone exchange. When a man sees, he
knows that 1t is his eye that sees, and
his mind dwells Understandings upon
the color, form and other attributes Of
the object. Thus the understanding as
sociates it's perception with material
objects, and is cognizance Of the out
ward world is dependent upon the .ope-
ration of familiar senses which long
and constant use have rendered the
only avenues of knowledge. When the
operation of an obscure or dormant
sense is sought, the mind seems to need
a concentration upon its object, so that
an opportunity may be given for the
manifestation of the strange through
the familiar sense. Perhaps it is thus
that the divining rod becomes an ex-
ponent of the perception of water, and
the savage's collection Of trash may en-
able him to give expression to his dim
consciousness of a far-off land.
! In use, the contrivanees alluded to are
merely subsidiary, the pilot directing his
entire attention to the sea. When a

TO insure supposititious Identification;
then the chart is referred to, and a
course adopted in line with some partic-
ular stick. These seeming tribes seem
necessary to attach the mind to its sub
jeet, to give it a means of expression,
and to constitute an invocation to the
dormant sense to assert itself. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that these so-called
charts are available only to those who
have passed over the route before; in
other words, to those who have been to
the particular island or group of is
lands, and so absorbed a secret con-
seriousness of its radiation or emana-
ton. So also may it be inferred that
the wandering fish, once in contact with
particular land area, becomes familiar
with the outward projection of its PEE
euliar characteristics, and is enable to
direct its course thereby.-Article in

Yesterdays, STOCK MARKET
Excited and acknowledgements Of
PRICES Wide.

New York, Oct. 5.-There was an ex-
cited and feyerish market for securities
all day to-day and the volume of bus
mess somewhat exceeded yesterdays
large total, in spite of intervals of de-
eided dullness in the trading. The
movement of prices was so wide and
the fluctuations so constant and con-
n1cting as to keep speculative senti-
nent unsettled and to puzzle the trad
ers who sought to follow the market.
The so-called room trading, however,
was on an enormous scale and opera
tlons of this character changed often
during the day from the long to the
short side. The widest movements were
without any news to account for them.
st. Paul opened / point higher, relapsed
to a fraction under last night, shut up
to 169 3-8 and fiuctuated constantly be-
tween the extremes with more or less
sympathetic effect on the whole list.
United States Steel was subjected to
further heavy selling, but showed evil
dence of support and recovered Yigor-
ously in the later market. The trunk
lines were heavy at first, but moved
5briskly. upwards later under the leader

abandonment of the Lead merger plan
helped to depress the Lead and Shelter
stocks. Some of the days rumors as

the rise in the Fries. The unprecedent-

given to reports of a large amount of
Australian gold to be deposited in San
Francisco on Monday for telegraphic
transfer to New York Assertions as to
the amount ran as high as $1,000, 090
But the movement is believed to be in

vantage of the free transfer across the

''Well, of course that made the game
clear. Willett had given the court order
to somebody else, perhaps to the girl or
one of her relatives, who was to call at
the room after Warren got in there and
serve the document on him. SO | said
to Warren: It's all right. My men will
arrest anybody that comes on to this
floor during your interview, and I'll be
right outside the door as Il last line of
