Inherited Memories"

In an English magazine is a story
of what the writer calls Inherited
memories" told by the owner of the
ruins Of an old Roman fortress In
England. A clergyman came to see
the ruins and claimed to have dis
tinct recollection of living there, In
some priestly Office (evidently It ran
in his family"), in Roman times. He
asked to see an old tower that had
tumbled down. saying there was In
Roman days a socket in the top OF It
wherein the defenders planted mast
and hauled to the top basket pro-
tected with leather, in which were
archers who from the top could pick
OF leaders Of besieging foes. Then"
said the owner, I'VE made diligent
search and found the stone socket he
described. q thing none of us had ever
seen" This Ii not romance. but is
told as a fact which the writer wants
people to believe. II the new govern
ment in England has not yet filled the

The Positive Life.

DR.. l. II. Gulick, writing about the
best way to keep in health in the
Worlds Work. says: The real heart
of the problem Is psychological. We
are Just beginning to understand the
part that good thinking holds In good
health. Our thoughts are just as real
a part Of us are our bodies. a man
who persists In thinking unhealthy
thoughts can no more keep sound and
healthy in body than man who vio-
lates all the physical laws Of his ma
ture. A mans mental attitude Is
fundamental. 1t Is a wellknown fact
that the number of deaths In an army
defeated and on the retreat Is enor-
mously greater than In an army upon
q victorious march. The mental atti-
tude OF defeat, of encouragement, low
ers the resisting power Of the indi-
vidual. II predisposes him TO disease.
The whole tone of his system Is let
down. The aggressive, the positive,
the confident state of mind is the one
that wins out over obstacles. The
man who keeps on the defensive all
tho time, dreading danger, fighting
against bad Influences, avoiding dis
case, not only wastes an enormous
amount Of energy, but also lessons his
own chances. 1t Is not the defensive
but the aggressive attitude that pro-
tects q man. The normal way, the
efficient way, is to turn ones thoughts
to something worth while, to fill the
mind with healthy thoughts. This Is
sound psychology. You can't drag a
thing out OF the mind; but 1t will go
Of itself II you put something else In
its place. A determined pursuit OF
good thoughts, Of healthy thoughts, Is
the only means of getting rid of the
other kind"

British Mineral Statistics,

The total production of coal IL
Great Britain In 1905 amounted to
S6.12S,s36 gross tons, as compared
with 232.42s,272 tons in 1904, an IN
crease of 3.700.664 tons. OF the pro-
duction in 1905 236. III, $50 tons were
obtained under the coal mines act and
17.7s6 tons from quarries. The pro-
duction in 1905 was the largest in the
history Of the United Kingdom. In
1905 Great Britain also produced a.
690.731 tons of iron ore, against 49,
774,2S2 tons in 1904. an increase of
816,449 tons. or the total production
In 1905 7,s60,969 tons were mined un-
der the coal mines act, 1.768, 307 tons
under the metalliferous mines act,
and 1881, 455 tons from quarries. The
production in 1905 was greater thn
IN any year since 1885, when 15.417,.
S8f tons were mined. The maximum

Directing Electric Waves.

According to description of his ex-
periments given by Mr.. Marconi, the
combining of the electric waves used in
wireless telegraphy to certain prede,
termined directions is a problem adj
hitting of an easy, if not complete
solution. A simple method is to sub
stitute for the usual vertical antenna
employed as radiator or absorber of
the waves, straight horizontal con.
ductor, placed at comparatively small
elevation above the surface of the
ground or the water. Experience
shows that the radiation reaches a
maximum in the vertical plane of this
horizontal wire. and gradually dies
out on each side of it. Similarly at
the receiving station the maximum
effect of the waves is felt in the verti.
cal plane of the horizontal absorbing
conductor. To attune the transmit
ting and receiving apparatus, their
conductors are pointed ~ the same
direction.

ordered out. Two torpedo vessels ly-

opened with their rapid-iring guns

vantage of the situation and proclaim

MUTINEERS TAKE SVEABORG
FORT AFTER FIERCE BATTLE
Russian Stronghold in the Baltic Captured by
Rebels-Hundreds Killed and
Wounded.

MISUNDERSTANDING is entire.
ly in the hands OF the mutineers
who now have in their possession
every kind of armament.
Horrible scenes occurred during
Tuesday night when the fierce fighting
was continued. The heaviest artillery
was used during the conflict between
the mutineers and the government
troops.
An authoritative estimate of the
killed and wounded cannot be OBJ
tanned, but the casualty list on both
sides must be heavy, for the fighting
was waged with desperation.
There are various rumors to be
heard regarding the fate of the officers
who were at Sveaborg and in the
Skattudden barracks. According to
one rumor almost all the officers, and
according to another, almost all the
junior officers sided with the mu-
tineers.
The marines at Skatudden are said
to have convened an elective court
martial which condemned several Of
ficers to instant execution.
Cause Of the Outbreak.
The cause of the mutiny is reported
to have been the death of a soldier
In the battalions Of sappers and min
ers. His comrades claimed that the
death was due to ill-treatment. They
rose and were joined by the artillery
men. Together they outnumbered the
loyal infantry troops who supported
their officers.
