Ancestral Memory.
Prom the Chicaco Evening Post.

from the Chicago Evening Post.
Every one who has experienced the SEN
sation Of familiarity with a scene which
at the same time one knows is not IA
miliar will be interested in the hint Of
Rev. Forbes Phillips in the Nineteenth
Century and After on ancestral memory.
Mr.. Phillips describes several Of his ex-
periences. On visiting Tivoli for the first
time, for instance, he found the place as
familiar as his own parish. In the neigh
borhood Of Leatherhead in England. re-
gion quite unknown to him, he was able
to lead the way to an old Roman ruin. and
there was the feeling that he had followed
that road before, and in armor.
The theory that Mr.. Phillips advances Is
that we inherit the memories Of our an
cestors. IF the memory cells Of our an
cestors were the collected photographed i'm
pressions of their experiences, and these
cells iE the process Of photographing were
subjected to some subtle change in physi-
cal structure, then that these negatives of
Impressions should be handed on to poster
ity is not difficult to understand and ac-
cept."
The idea Of a transmitted cellular record
sounds more scientific than the idea Of re-
incarnation. but it is scarcely the explana-
ton for what Oliver Wendell Holmes de-
scribes in the phrase, "All at once a con-
viction flashes through US that We have
been in the same precise circumstances as
at the present instance once or twice be-
fore"
Inns Is q lar more intimate sensation tnan
the other. and probably has some explana-
ton In the theory that the impression Of
what is actually happening is belated, and.
because of fatigue. inattention or for some
other reason, is conceived as memory
rather than as a first-hand experience.
But there still remains to be explained
the nervousness that grips a man on
dark lonely road; the attitude suggestive of
a spring, hands clinched, lips drawn tight.

The Story Of "Lucky" Baldwin.

From the Outing Magazine.
In 1853, or more than half a century ago,
little party of gold-seekers. with a meager
outfit of horses and wagons, started for
California from the village of Racine, Wis.
In command Of this adventurous expedition
was young man who took with him his
wife and infant daughter. His name was
E. ]. Baldwin and he made a wise choice
in shaking from his restless feet the dust
of a tanner civilization. He needed a larger
theater Of action for his pent-up and surg
ing activities. While trailing through the
mountains OF Utah the pioneers were at

during six-hour fight. in which young
Baldwin killed their chief. After six

Here Baldwin tarried and began placer
mining. He appears to have been no more
than an ordinary red-shirted argonaut,
meeting the ups and downs of mining luck,
until the discovery Of the COmstock Lode
at Virginia City. Thither he drifted, and
discovered that his natural bent was
gambling with the mines that other men
had opened. Amid a whirlwind of specula
ton he fought his way with such success
that he doomed from the smoke in a few
months as Lucky Baldwin. the man who
had cleaned up seven and a half million
dollars In the gigantic deals in the stock
Of the Ophir mines.
San Francisco was the Mecca Of those
lucky sons Of fortune who were rearing q

willing to quit. It'll be the same with you
II you go with me to Labrador When you
come home you'll hear the voice of the
wilderness calling you to return. and It will
lure you back again."
1t seems but yesterday that Hubbard ut
tered those prophetic words as he and I
lay before our blazing campfire in the snow
covered Shawangunk mountains on that
November night in the year 1901 and
planned that faterul trip into the unex-
plored Labrador wilderness which was to
cost my dear friend his life and both of US
indescribable sufferings and hardships. And
how true prophecy it was! You who have
smelled the campfire smoke; who have
drunk in the pure forest air. laden with the
smell Of the fir tree: who have dipped your
paddle into untamed waters, or climbed
mountains. with the knowledge that none
but the red man has been there before you:
or have. perchance. had to fight the wtlds
and nature for your very existence: you OF
the wilderness brotherhood can understand
how the fever of exploration gets into ones
blood and draws one back again to the for
ests and the barrens in spite OF resolutions
to go no more"
1t was more than this. however that
lured me back to Labrador. There was the
vision of dear old Hubbard as 1 SO often
saw him during our struggle through that
rugged northland wilderness. wasted in
form and ragged in dress, but always hope

domitable will focused in his words to me.
and can still see him as he looked when
he said them:
1.-The work must be done. Wallace and IL
one of US falls before 1t Is completed the
other must finish It."
I went back to Labrador to do the work
he had undertaken. but which he was not
permitted to accomplish. His exhortation
appealed to me as command from my
leader-a call to duty.

1t appears strange to speak OF plant as

power of reasOn-one does not kno" what
else to call ito do this. The sundew.
an insectivorous plant. provides the where
withal for amost striking experiment for
those who care to avail themselves Of the
privilege. Mrs. Treat was the first to call
attention to a most remarkable fact In con-
nection with the American sundew-a fact
which shows very clearly that the powers
of this plant are not limited to the mere
lying in wait for Its prey. She says: Il
pinned some living flies half an inch from
the leaves near the apex at 10 O'Clock. In
forty minutes the leaves had bent percep-
tibly toward the flies. At II O'Clock the
leaves had reached the files and their legs
were entangled among the bristles and held
fast" Here we have an irrefutable instance
Of plant which is not only conscious that
1t desires flies for its food but Is also able
to move toward its prey.

animals is not by any means so fantastic

waterfall-the familiar corner where the
foam Of the eddy is crested with spray-an
active summer trout will often be found in
ardent biting moodf You may fish other
edges Of the rapids or the lower rifles all
day without fish, yet take half a dozen or

Is apocryphal. It may be a corner special
