OREGON'8 FREAK LEGISLA-
TURE,'

The Los Angeles Times has been
devoting attention to Oregou's freak
legislation. For example, says the
Times, to-day We find in Oregon a
constitution the most revolutionary Of
any state in the Union" This is
printed in the face and eyes of the
new constitution of OKLAHOMA, which
goes beyond anything ever dreamed of
here. The initiative and referendum
are already adopted in half dozen
states quite as enlig htened as
California, and quite as we'll

has taken q stand in favor of it in
Minnesota.

Something About the Brain

THAT portion of the substance of the
L brain which is known gray matter IS
supposed, according to the highest authori-
ties, to be most intimately related to intellect
ual action. Sometimes curious aggregations OF
gray matter are found in particular parts of
the brain, and Dr. Oswald Morton has recently
suggested that these may be the cause of the
extraordinary mental powers occasionally
exhibited by persons whose general intellectual
capacity hardly rises above that of idiots.
Such powers, apttudes, always relate to
some special faculty, like memory, without
including other faculties
The aggregations referred to might explain
the marvellous memory for music exhibited by
Blind Tom" and the still more extraordinary
powers of Heinecker, the Child of Lubbock,
who lived in the early part of the eighteenth
century; and who knew the chief incidents of
the Pentateuch at the age of one year, had
mastered all of sacred history at two years, and
was intimately acquainted with modern and
profane history and geography, and spoke
French and Latin, besides his native tongue, at
the age of three. When four years old he died.
With reference to what has been called the
relation of brain light and dreams" Professor
Scripture of Yale once stated that he had
reason to think that the faint light which is
seen in darkness, or with closed eyes and which
appears in the form of rings, waves and irreg-

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

MARQUIS CRIsTovAL DE CASA TRIANA,
1VA the of former partizan of Don Carlos
of Spain, and himself under suspicion by the Span
ish police, because of his presence at Barcelona
smulta neously with bomb throwing episode,
was motoring Biarritz with his American
friend, Dick Warning, when he encountered the
young King Of Spain. The latter was accompanied
by his fancee, Princess Ena, and Lady Monica
Vale, and had just suffered accident to his auto
mobile. Triana helped the royal party out of their
plight but not before he and Monica had fallen
madly in love with each other.
The difficulties of the young Spanard promised
to be numerous, he had been travelling under the
assumed name of Christopher Trevenna, and Mon
icas mother planning for her to marry the
Duke of Carmona, powerful Spanish nobleman,
who was inherited enemy of the Trianas.
Nevertheless Crist6yal managed to smuggle him
self into mask ball, confess his love for Monica,
and receive her avowal in return. But Just at this
moment the pair discovered by Monica
mother and the Duke, and Triana was peremptorily
ordered from the place.
The Duke and his mother, Monica and her
mother, departed from Biarritz in automobile,
and were followed by Triana and Dick in their dis
guised motor car. Coming up with them, the Duke
suspected Trianas identity. and telegraphed to
the police at Irun the Spanish border station, to
arrest him. Triana. however, had exchanged dis
guises with his chauffeur Peter Ropes, and the
latter was left behind prisoner.

The Traditional Man in the Moon

TN our infancy there was pointed out to us
i the mysterious man in the moon, who looks
solemnly down from his perch in the sky.
No doubt we have made many childish spec
ulation concerning this grave parsonage, who
has been watching the successive generations
on the earth come and go for centuries, and
wondered how he came to be away up there in
the moon so many miles from us.
Well, he was sent there because he was a
naughty fellow, a wicked man, who picked
UP some sticks that did not belong to him
on Sunday. The first mention of this is
in the Bible, where it is told that a certain
individual was put to death for just such pro-
ceeding.
From this Bible story originated one of the
greatest and most ancient superstitions-tha
of the man in the moon. The man in the
moon is known to every nation, and is pic
tured as leaning on fork on which he carries
a bundle of thorns or brushwood which he was
caught stealing on the Sabbath day: and as a
punishment he was confined in the moon.
The dark lines and spots which compose the
features of this traditional man are in reality
the shadows of lunar mountains on the moon.

Naming the Stars

IRON time immemoral the heavens have
l. been object for investigation and
amazement of the inhabitants of the globe
and to the student of astronomy nothing is
more interesting than the great similarity of
the stories that have grown up about the stars
among the most widely separated peoples.
The constellation which to-day is called the
Milky Way was known to the primitive Indians
and to the African bushmen as the Ashen
PATH the cinders of which were conceived to
be hot and glowing. The ancient inhabitants
of Britain called it Waiting Street, the path
of the mythical giants, the Watlings.
To the casual eye the gulf between the highly
civilized, ancient Greeks and the American
Indians is well nigh impossible. Yet the con-
stellation known colloquially to modern Amer
leans as the Dipper was called the Bear by both
these peoples.
The imaginative Indian thought of the four
front stars as bear, those in the tail as pur-
suing huntsmen, and the small star on the end
as pot in which they were to cook their vic
tim. In England, the Great Bear is known as
Charless Vain; and it is interesting to note in
this connection that Dickens mentioned them
in " Hard Times as the names of two different
consultations.
The aboriginal inhabitants of Australia
showed an ingenuity almost equal to that OF
the Greeks in naming the planets. The constel-
lation of the Pleiades, which is composed of
seven stars, was considered by the Greeks to
be a band of maidens. In explanation of the
dimness of the seventh star, they said that one
of the maidens fell in love with a mortal, and
thereafter hid her light through envy of her
sisters, who were beloved of the gods.
To the Australians, on the other hand, they
were known as a Queen with her six attendants.
Like the Greeks, the Australians also sought
to account for the dim star, and SO the myth
grew that the Queen had been stolen by neigh
boring constellation, the Crow.

IN THE REALM OF SCIENCE

ular figures is due, not as is generally supposed,
to chemical changes going on in the retina, but
to something occurring in the brain He
proposed that it should be called cerebral
light"
This cerebral light appears to be located in
those higher centers of the brain that con-
nected with visual memories and imaginations.
A close relation has been observed between
these cerebral light figures and the contents of
dreams, and Professor Scripture suggested
that the Authorizations produced by drugs, like
hashish may be simply notifications of such
figures.
