An ingenious instrument which dem.
Onstrates the close connection that ex-
lists between dreams and brain calcula-
ton Is known as the ''tflt board" A
long, shallow tray big enough for a
man to recline upon is balanced exact.
" upon a steel blade. A subject il
placed upon 1t and put to sleep, where.
upon the end containing his feet GEN
orally falls. But eventually the subject
begins to dream, and them the tray con.
tanning the sIeeper's FEET reascends, the
extent to which Il moves varying &C
cording TO the vividness Of the dream.
The explanation is that the blood
leaves the brain Of a sleeper directly
the mental activities cease, and. the
head as result becoming lighter, that
end OF the balance rises. When the
sleeper dreams small quantities of
blood are recalled TO the brain to sup
ply the dreams, and the balance Is
gradually changed In this way
dreams may be weighed.

Mr.. Depew can credit his downfall
to the vigorous fight made against
him by William r. Hearst. Since the
astonishing revelations before the in
suranee committee were first made
Mr.. Hearst has been theoretically de
handing the resignation of both Sena-
tor Depew and Senator Plat through
the columns Of the New York Ameri-
can, and has been instrumental in
sending several petitions to Albany
asking that the resignation of both
be demanded by the legislature.
Mr. Depew is now reaptng the har-

but little sympathy from long suffer

4 ceIos.al Harp,

The largest harp ever made, so far
~ is knowns was that invented and
constructed by NJ. Veritan, provost OK
BurkH, neer Basel. It was known as
the gigantic meteorological NoliaA
harp. It was $40 feet in length and
was erectedNin tie garden Of its invent.
or in 1zeT. This harp consisted Of If
teen iron wires, $40 feet in length,
stretched between two poles. The wires
were from two to three inches apart,
the largest being one-sixth Of an inch
IN thickness and the smallest one
twelfth Of an inch. They were placed
in the direction Of north and south and
inclined in such a manner as to form
an angle Of from twenty to thirty de-
grees with the horizon. being stretched
by means Of rollers properly disposed
for the purpose. Whenever the wealth
er changed the wires sounded with
such loudness that It was impossible to
go on with q concert in the house The
sound sometimes represented the hiss
ing noise Of water in rapid ebullition,
sometimes that Of a harmonicon and
sometimes that of distant chimes or an
organ.

Chinese Hostility
60 Foreign Interests.

The boycott which the Chinese
guilds declared against American
goods several months ago, and which
Is undoubtedly encouraged, If it was
not actually instigated by the Chinese
government, bids fair to develop into
an open demonstration against the
foreign residents and foreign inter
ests in China, and already the powers
Of the world are actively preparing 70
suppress any uprising that may oc-
cur.
The interests of the United States
in China, while not as great as those
Of most Of the old world powers. lave
been increasing steadily for several
years past. and this government will
undoubtedly act with other nations.
as il old during the Boxer troubles,
in expressing any demonstration
against foreigners.
Since the acquisition Of the Philip
pines both the Army and Navy have,
o. necessity, maintained strong forces
ia the Far East, the troops and war
ships at Manila being within less
than three days Of Chinese territory
and, according TO the army program
the land forces will be AUGMENTED
by two regiments Of infantry and two
batteries Of artillery within the NEXT
80 days. This will place the United
States in a good position to take en-
ergetic action should circumstances
necessitate the invasion Of Chinese
territory to protect American inter
ests.
While the administration at Wash
ingbon does not believe actual hostili-
ties by the Chinese will occur before
the spring months, it is impossible TO
even guess what the fanatical
heathens may do, sno. consequently,
every possible precaution will be
taken in order that the situation,
whatever it may be, can be met
promptly.

FIVE MORE YEARS
OF PROSPERITY.
Savannah News.


Mr.. E. w Hewes, in an article in
the current number Of Harper's
Weekly makes the prophecy that the
present period Of prosperity will con
tinue i've years more, making four.
teen years in all. He arrives at this
by comparing the present period with
other periods of prosperity which this
country has experienced. and also
comparing the periods Of depression
which preceded them. In the course
Of his article he SAYS:
Five times since the nation was
bern has a great toe of disaster
swept over its industries. carrying
desolation into the homes Of the poor
and discomfort and alarm into the
homes Of me rich. Five times has
the destructive tide been turned back
ward. and the uplifting tide of pros
perity returned Men are saying that
the present era of prosperity is the
widest the nation has ever known.
Measured by total volume Of business
yes! Measured by steady advance,
yes! Measured by relative STANDARDS,
no. Measured by uplift from the
starting point, no."
-Four Of the periods of prosperity
were as follows: 1s43-1S54. 1862
1872. 1S7S1S92. and 1S96-1905. It will
be seen that the one from 1873 10
1892 was the longest, being fourteen
years. Mr.. Hewes, by comparing eG-
listing conditions with those of that
period finds reasons for his prophecy
that the present period will be four
teen years.
There is no difficulty in finding out
when a period Of depression or pros.
perity begins and ends. The Depart
ment of the Treasury furnishes the
information. AS times begin TO get
bad money begins to disappear from
circulation, and as they begin to get
good il reappears. Mr.. Hewes states
that curing the panic 1S37-1s43 the
circulation of money dropped from
1887 per capita TO $7.S7. Then,
from the lowest point, it travelled
back again. For four years it gained
only s per cent a year. on the circula,
ton of IS43. The fifth year It gained
only two points. Then there followed
a most remarkable rally. In FIVE
years seventy-three points were gain
ed. In those FIVE years was witness
ed the most remarkable period of
business prosperity in the country's
history
The boom of the early eighties is
well remembered by many business
men of the present day. 1t was fol-
lowed Mr.. HeWes points out by
seven years of fluctuations, these
seven years being from 1883 to 1890.
In 1891 and 1892, eleven points were
added to the circulation, bringing
the period Of prosperity to a close, it
having begun in 1878.
Glsncing over Mr.. Hewes' figures
il is seen that in the first, second ana
third periods under review there was
considerable fuctuation in the move
ment TO the highest point Of prosper
ity. In none of them, says Mr.. Hewes,
was there such steadiness in the up
lift Of prosperity as there has been
in the present period. Mr.. HeweS
gees into the subject quite thorough
". using diagrams to make plain his
arguments.

What Catholic JUDGES May Do.

Somebody writes to Father Drury
in the May Men and Women. asking:
Can Il common pleas judge granting
divorces under the law. be Il good
Catholic: and can IL judge VIII" is Il
Catholic. while acting in his official
capacity as Judge. grant Il divorcc?'
And here's the answer: Both these
questions must be answered in the
ALTERNATIVES. Not only in divorce suits.
but in many other cases Il judge upon
the bench may find his own Judgment.
as to the true merits of the case. very
far from being in accord with the
sentence which. under Il bad law. he
is Obliged to render. The Judge is not
the law: he cannot amend nor abro-
gate the law: the most he can do is
to point out where the law is ut fault
and minimize the evil effects of the
law as much as circumstances will
permit. The judge who administers
the law fairly and justly cannot right :
fully be rcproached as parliccps
criminals In the evil brought by the
execution of Il bad law. That would
rule every honorable and upright
judge off the bench whether he were
a Catholic or not. The voters and
legislators are more iucriminated in
the evil rights of the divorce law in
this country than the judges VINO do
their duty upon. the bench"

Paying Back.

A New Jersey priest says: NO
Catholic can make a valid confession
who culpably refuses to pay his loans
and debts. II he cannot pay at once.
he must pledge himself to save up and
pay as soon as possible. This means
that only on these conditions can the
sinner be forgiven by God. That per-
son Is unworthy of absOlutiOn who
neglects to keep his pledge to pay:
who refuses to pay any because he
cannot pay all: who decides to leave
the burden of restitution to his heirs.
1t is better not to go to confession
at all than to go with unworthy dis
positions. God is not Knocked. Our
pledges to the priest are made to him
as Christ's ambassador in the con-
fessional and are binding as if made
to Christ Himself"
