According to naval officers, Rear
Admiral RObley D. Evans will COM
mand the feet, while in Pacific wa
tiers. The cost of transfer of this
fleet is enormous. 1t is estimated
that IS, 600 tons of coal will be con-
sumed, costing from s. to $l4 per
ton, depending on where it is pur-
chased, the minimum applying to its
cost at New York and the maximum
to Central and South American
sources of supply. The cost Of food
for officers will amount to 81, 900, and
of enlisted men at $1,000 per day,
but these items, large as they are,
would have to be paid, had the long
voyage not been undertaken.
GHOSTS ARE SEEN BY BRAIN En-
ERGY.-At least that is what is said
by DIR. Bernard Hallander, the ia
nous nerve specialist of London, be-
fore the Lyceum Club. 1t is none
the less scientific from being mex
plicable, and as it is the only ex-
PLANTATION, must go, until some more
rational cause is given. 1t is brain
energy" said the great physician,
whether electrical or not, we do
not know, by which men acquire in
fluence over others. That such en-
ergy exists has been proven by ex-
periments on hypnotized persons
who, in a perfectly darkened room.
can see glow at the fingertips of
the hypnotizer, and metallic objects
rubbed by the latter acquire luminOs-
ity strong enough to make their sur
roundings visible. Suppose person
to be the victim Of foul play, his mind
energy will be exerted to the utmost
and is projected with such a force
that it will cling to the room or place
where he lost his life. If, then, some
person of sensitive nature, and not
preoccupied, pass through that room
his brain may receive such stimulus
as to produce some more or less de-
fined image, which will appear real to
him and the vision of a ghost will be
the result. The same theory makes
it possible that sensitive subjects
when in hypnotic state, and hold
ing an object belonging to the dead
or the living, or being in room in
habited by them, may have visions
and be able to describe them"
MRS. HUGHES Nor AN ANTI.-The
New York World is calling attention
to the fact that the statement of Mrs.
Charles E. Hughes opposing woman
suffrage, recently published in its
columns, was an erroneous one and
that the correspondent responsible
for it has been dismissed from all as
ISOLATION with the paper. This will
not be sufficient to restore the Gov
ernor to favor with the woman teach
ers of New York, however. Anent
