The neglect of Disraeli's writings
may be in part due to the fact that
most people think it is below the dig
nifty of a statesman, or Of any man
following what is called SERIOUS"
profession, to compose works Of fic-
ton. Certainly, many do not yet
understand that the man who writes
novels may be a very wise man;
they do not realize that accurately to
portray human nature and to present
pictures of life is not only a most
worthy, but also a most. difficult task,
requiring for its performance an in
telligence far above the average, acute
powers of observation, and a keen
sense of humor. For surely the great
novelist is the observer sounding the
depths, while others glance at the sur
face and examine the mysteries of
life, while others are content to
overlook even the obvious.-Melville's
Victorian Novelists.

Sir William Covers has recently de-
veloped a new theory of sleep. Accord
ing to his explanation, the suspension
of consciousness in sleep is probably
due to a break and make" action
among the brain cells. The activity
Of the brain is considered to be due
to nerve cells, from which spring
nerve cords that go on dividing and
subdividing until they terminate in
little knobs. Formerly It was be-
lieved that the nerve cells of the brain
were in permanent connection by
means of their terminals; but now it
appears that these are only in oppo.
sition and capable of being separated
The hypothesis IS that during sleep
such separation takes place, and the
fact that narcotic substances are cap
able Of inducing sleep is held to sup
port this view.

NEW SCHEME OF SIGNALS
Changes Proposed in the Operation OF
Semapho res and Use of Lights
on Railways.

Chicago. March 21.-The American
Railway Engineeringand Maintenance
of-Way association at meeting here
unanimously adopted a committee re-
port recommending changes in the
present methods CT railway signaling.
The changes suggested, it is said, will
add materially to the safety of train
operation. The report as adopted rec
ommends that the style Of signal sema-
phores now in use be changed SO that
the signals will be given in the upper
quadrant OF the circle instead of the
lower quadrant.
The stop signal remains the same as
heretofore, the arm of the semaphore
being horizontal, but when the arm
is inclined upward 45 degrees it will

An American physician now comes

ton, that the soul has a given weight.
ranging from one to one and one-half
ounces and may be weighed on the

covery and further adds that souls
may have influence on souls" In
other words; the soul may have inf1u-
ence on another soul at great distance,
in such manner as to actually direct
tho receiving souls movements. This
is classified as psychic message.
The above is splendid food for
thought and no doubt is being thor
oughly investigated by brilliant and ca

of them, but the question that runs
in my mind is this: If psychic mani

To support, believe in or follow the

GLEASON TO TAKE CHARGE
Delmas Gives Place to Gleason as Cap.
tain of the Defense.

Here Gleason interposed himself in
the discussion. He rejected the district
attorneys assertion that Thaw was
unable to advise his counsel. Gleason
demanded before the proceedings went
further that DR.. Hamilton be interro.
gated as TO whether or not he thought
Thaw capable of advising his counsel
Justice Fitzgerald allowed the question
and the witness replied that he did not
think Thaw was capable of advising
his counsel at the present time.
When the trial adjourned Hartridge
and O'Reilly, of 1'haw's counsel, pro-
fessed the greatest pleasure over the
turn of affairs. 1.-The district attorney
has acknowledged himself beaten"
said Hartridge I'VE can combat the
lunacy commission. In the meantime
the district attorney was acknowledged
that he believes Thaw was insane
when he shot Stanford White. That
ought to give us an acquittal."
District Attorney Jerome was mani
testify pleased with the idea of COM
mission. He Immediately set to work
preparing affidavits. He will now be
able to place before Justice Fitzgerald
ali the testimony he has been unable
to get before the jury. Delmas de-
clined to make any definite statement.
He merely said that it had been agreed
that when the case reached the stage
which developed today Mr.. Gleason
should take charge" He said, of course,
he would still be connected with the
case.
When Thaw reached his cell in the
Tombs he began to write at a furious
pace, saying it would be his statement
to be submitted to the court.

tOn-Jeromes Remarks.
The climax of the nine weeks trial

defense in calling to the stand DR.. AL
Ian McLane Hamilton, the alienist,
who was first called into the case by
Thaw's original lawyers. Black, Olcott,
Gruber & Bonynge, but who was dis
missed, together with them, when he
reported that Thaw was suffering from
form of paranoia which miAht new
er be cured. 1t was the intention Of
Delmas to interrogate Hamilton only
with reference to four visits he made
to Thaw in June and July last. Jerome
promptly objected to this course. He
said that if DR.. Hamilton was to testi-
fy at all be must tell everything he
knew in connection with the case, in
Guiding the defendants family his
tory.
IF the real facts were known" de-
clared Jerome, 81 have no right to be
here trying this man for his life. But
the knowledge / have cannot be put
in legal form before the jury. 1t is
facts before you they would shock and
horrify the conscience Of the court and
instantly this case would be stopped.
So deeply have I been impressed with
this that I have served notice on the
counsel ofrecord that if when this trial
is concluded l find that they were in
possession of facts which 1 believe to
be in their possession 1 shall call the
matter to the attention of the appellate
division of the sureme court.
Il feel very bitterly about this mat
ter. There is not a man who has
watched this defendant sitting here Mt
this table that does not know that as
he sits there he is incapable Of advis-
ing counsel Thus, under the statutes,
it becomes the duty of the court to
stop the proceedings"
