Our Shaky Planet.

Predictions of evere seismic dis
turbances in l9OG were in part justi
fed the first month of the year, as
shown by dispatches from various
parts of the world. simultaneously
disturbances were felt In Venezuela,
Colombia. Hawaii and in our lake re-
gion. Vesuvius is again In violent
eruption, and there are signs of ac-
tiyity in an old crater in Hawaii.
Local earthquake shocks may be due
to the subsistence Of rock undermined
by water. but the widespread NANTES
tations referred to Indicate that some
thing unusual Is doing In the interior
of old ealvl. Experts agree that the
disturbances are all traceable to a cen
trail cause, but just what forces are
loose and capering about. frightening

A Canal Revival.

Consul Sulis of Liverpool writes that
there Is a proposal among the English
commercial leaders TO form a national
trust, buy up the old canals and other
inland waterways and work them in
the public interest. Railway corpora
lions have been accused of buying UP
or otherwise controlling these water
ways in order to prevent competition
in freight rates. The question OF pro-
pulsion for the canals is being consid-
cred, and the overhead trolley or other
mode of electrical power is in favor
Recently the English government ap.
pointed a committee to inquire into the
present condition of canal communica-
ton.
An experiment which, II successful
may make it possible to restore trade
to the almost wholly disused canals
Of England and give cheaper freight
transportation than the railways af.
ford has been begun to test gas motor
engines for barge propulsion. 1t is
thought possible to construct a gas
producing motor which will generate
gas only when needed and which viii
require but little space and consume
but little fuel. Trial trips with sell
propelled barges will be made to test
the system in all its details.

Current Comment
Mysteries of the Mind.

Outside of those who believe on evi.
dence satisfactory to themselves that
they hold communion with the depart
ed, there are many persons with no
settled convictions on such subjects
or altogether skeptical about them
who are interested in the investiga.
tons being made by the Society OF
Psychical Research, which have been
carried on for some years now by
scientists of standing. The fact OF
telepathic communication seems tc
have been established beyond ques
ton. There are many cases of per
sons who at the time of death have
made friends at a distance aware OF
their situation, and since wireless te-
legraphy has come into use such oc-
currences seem explainable on the
same principle. The brain is q dyna-
mo and may start a vibration, which
another brain in close sympathy can
receive and interpret.
Some weeks since Professor Hodg

ism, during his last illness promised
some Of his fellow members that If he
found he survived physical death he
would do his utmost to communicate
with them, and they now claim that he
has done so. They say they sat fol
hours in a state of expectancy. with
their attention concentrated on him.
Under such circumstances they might
well believe impressions came from
him which were, as a matter of fact,
purely subjective, and the opponents
of the sp~iritualistic theories say nc
communication has ever been received
which might not have been in the mind
of some living person. Such inquiries
followed in a spirit of candor along
scientific lines can surely do no harm
and are likely to widen the horizon OF
human knowledge.

Paul Laurence Dunbar's early love
was the one to develop the real genius
that breathed beneath bis black skin.
His true vocation was that of a iyrist
using conventional English, and In that
field he could play any kind Of a tune
on the heartstrings, whether merry or
sad, hopeful or pessimistic.
But Dunbar was poor. and the tide
of the times carried him along in spite
Of himself. He struck the era Of
"coon'' literature. something entirely
forced and at best only representing
the vaudeville Of life rather than Its
seriousness.

Dosing For q Bad Temper.

Every right minded and right heart
ed person must rejoice over the bold
tits modern science is riding against
tuberculosis, appendicitis, tetanus and
the like, but at the same time we are
all fattered when somebody worth
while takes a shy at the everyday ills
Fostering common m~ortals. Now, bad
temper Is always with us. in ourselves
or in those we'd like to love. Recent
ly a scientist of repute said that tenn
per may be sweetened by dosing and
named doses found in all medicine
chests. On the other side the Canadian
Journal of Medicine prescribes the sim
pie life.
The Canadian authority admits that
bad temper due to brain flag, rvo
exhaustion, overwork and physical
pain may be banished by rest or food
or a glass of wine or an opiate. but
says there is another cause for explo-
sions of temper that calls for different
treatment. Indigestion Is named as
the cause and diet and exercise as the
cure. Cut out meat, alcohol In all
forms and tea and coffee. says the
Journal, and take muscular exercise
on an empty stomach. This suggests
that the army argument that soldiers
can't fight on empty stomachs is sound.
Fighting temper is wanting. 1t will
certainly be news to many housekeep-
ers that breakfastless interviews with
the bucksaw and churn dasher are tenn
per sweeteners, but that is just what
the Canadian prescription amounts to-.
And a trial dose may be had gratis"
barring certain risks in case the med
icine works the wrong way.

Recently the San Francisco Chron-

up as a result of utilizing the water as
