Arthemise spoke no English, but

STRANGE PHENOMENA THAT
PUZZLE SCIENTISTS.
Accounted for by Some on the Bash.
of Transmigration of SouIs-Sec-
ond Explanation Is a Phys
ical One.

Have we ever lived before?" is a
question which is interesting many
correspondents of British newspapers.
DIR. Andrew Wilson analyses the
strange phenomena of memory given
by the contributors in part as follows:
THE doctrine of metempsychosis or
TRANSPORTATION of souls represents a
very ancient belief. Not merely did
it 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
is ended and new era begun the
soul sheds most of the features it IL
Illustrated in the life it left, retaining
now and then, however. vague memo
ries of some of it's antecedent states.
Such memories, forcibly projected
into the foreground of our existence
today, it is held, should convince us
that we have lived before
Everything we have heard or seen
or otherwise appreciated through the
agency of our sense organS-every
impression, every sensations 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 off for us positives
from our stored-up mental negatives.
But it is none the less significant that
on occasion we can disinter memories
of events whose date lies very far
back in our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., 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 under-layer of Stored-up i'm
pressions and memories which is only
fully awakened in certain brain states
and of which, in our ordinary life, we
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 if they were reflections from some
previous phase of existence. But often
the clew is supplied US and the ap-
parent mysterious awakening of past
life apears merely as a recollection,
the origin of which we did not at first
recognize.
Even the idea that sometimes
strikes US on entering a 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
approaching our surroundings through
the simultaneous work of it's two in
tellectual centers. If there exists a
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"

to Noel Duke, if, indeed, they had
ever strayed from their usual abiding
place. She forgot his neglect, forgot
! her resentment, she felt only her
weakness, and hoped he might be

A strange kite, devised by a Swed-

1t is constructed of light canvas,
spread upon a strong but light metal
frame, and is made in two sections.
The lower and smaller section de-
ponds from the upper and is connect
ed with it by a 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.
If at any time the bottom of the
kite touches ground a device relieves
the coupling connecting it 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,
to resume it's silent but useful vigils.

unexpected International complications
Cipriano Castro has been for twenty
years prominent figure in the politi-
cal life of Venezuela. Rumors of his
retirement from the scene of his ac-
tivities have been in circulation for
months, and when last April he relin-
pushed the reins Of government to the
vice president, General J. B. Gomez,
doubt was expressed In some quarters
as to whether he had really given up
the presidency for good and all The
people of Victoria, province of Aragua,
who besought him to reconsider his
final retirement, were told:
when all citizens Of Venezuela
think and request as do the noble PEG
pie of Aragua shall gladly return to
the federal capitol" The general opin-
ion is that President Castro holds the
threads of the situation and will after
awhile resume the presidency.
Castro was born in the province Of
Capacho about fifty-one years ago
His first and greatest military achieve
ment was the overthrow of Morales in
the battle Of Capacho. which was
fought in 1886.

Japanese millet is excellent for ST.
lage, having nearly q solid stem and
thus being better adapted to keeping
than many other fodder crops. 1t will
produce twelve tons or more of green
fodder to the acre, says American Gull

that it stands dry weather somewhat
better and may be sown later than
corn. Soy beans have the advantage
over either Of these crops in containing
protein and when mixed with corn
make balanced ensilage, thus cutting
down the grain bills. But with the

Wherever retail merchants have es-

cases to re-establish themselves on
their old sites.

during the first two weeks following
the fire may develop into huge scan

tabulated statement filed with the com
mittee there appears a charge Of $751;

$35, but in many instances the charge
was even higher.
