A Submarine Kite.

A strange kite. devised by a Swed.
ish engineer, is made to fly under wa.
ter.
Il is constructed of light canvas,
spread upon strong but light metal
frame, and is made in two sections.
Tho lower and smaller section de-
pends from the upper and is connect
ed with 1t by n kind Of coupling.
The mission Of the apparatus is to
warn vessels of shoals or places
where there is an insufficient depth of
water. A small wire cable runs from
the kite to the vessels deck.
As the ship sails along the kite
trails beneath or beside the craft at
such depth as will insure safety.
II at any time the bottom of the
kite touches ground device relieves
the coupling connecting 1t with the
upper part and the alarm bell is
sounded on deck.
The kite may then be drawn up. re-
adjusted and thrown overheard again.

Have We ever lived before?" IN a
question which is interesting many
correspondents Of British newspaper.
DR.. Andrew Wilson analyses the
strange phenomena Of memory given
by the contributors in part as follows:
The doctrine Of metempsychosis or
transmigration Of souls represents q
very ancient belief. Not merely did
1t credit the possibility that the soul
after death could be transferred from
one human being to another, but It
also held that the human soul might
take up its abode In another form Of
life and be transferred from the purely
human to the lower animal domain
The theory asserts that as each stage
Ia ended and a new era begun the
soul sheds most Of the features II II.
lustrated in the life 1t left. retaining
now and then. however. vague memo
ries OF some OF Its antecedent states.
Such memories. forcibly projected
into the foreground OF our existence
today. 1t Is held, should convince US
that We have lived before
W. hosS hCdIo occh
or otherwise appreciated through the
agency OF our sense organs-every
impression. every sensation-is really
stored up within those brain cells
which exercise the memory function.
True. We may not be able to recall all
OF them at will; many are doubtless
beyond the reach OF the power that
revives and prints of for us positives
from our stored.up mental negatives.
But II Is none the less significant that
on occasion we can disinter memories
Of events whose date lies very far
back In our lives-recollections, these.
perhaps. we have never realized after
their reception. but lying latent. and
only waiting the requisite and proper
stimulus to awaken them and to bring
them to the surface of our life.
This expresses briefly what We
mean by 'subliminal consciousness.
1t is that underlayer Of stored-up i'm.
pressions and memories which is only
fully awakened In certain brain states
only receive the faintest and most
occasional reminders of Its existence.
We do not recognize the source OF
every bit OF ancient news the subli.
minal consciousness may bring to
light and SO we treat Its resurrections
as II they were reflections from some
previous phase Of existence. But often
tho clew is supplied us and the ap.
parent mysterious awakening OF past
life apears merely rs recollection.
the origin Of which We did not at first
recognize.
Even the idea that sometimes
strikes us on entering strange place.
hitherto unknown to us. that we have
been there before is capable OF ra.
tional explanation. Our brain is built
on the double principle. and acts in
apprecIating our surroundings through
the simultaneous work OF Its two In
tellectual centers. II there exists n
slight discrepancy in this simultan-
eous work. so that one half OF our
brain appreciates the scene a little
before the other half. we are presented
with the false memory of having seen
the place before"
