OUNCE OF SOUL is GAS.

ChIcago Chemist HlGlcules the BOSTON
Wise Mems "Find."
"If the soul has weight it can never
leave the earth. 1t cannot go to heav.
en- or hell This fairy story about
weighing the soul is an absurdity.
pure and simple
Charles c. Mayo, physiological chem.
list, in Chicago took issue with the
Boston physicians and made the fore
going assertion with an explanation OF
the seeming phenomenon discovered In
the recent experiment of eastern inves-
tigators, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid
Evidently those Boston physicians
were preiudiced." said he. "Otherwisa
they would not have rushed into print
with such an III digested observation,
the explanation of which Is relatively
so simple They Just made sensation
out Of natural phenomenon and prob
ably still are puzzled over their won
derful' discovery.
This point about the loss of weight
y
ago by a little group Of German stu
dents.
They had a number Of theories. SO
they decided to experiment. They put
q mouse in Theoretically sealed bot
tie. The mouse was allowed to die.
The mouse and bottle were weighed
before and after death. and there was
not one milligram difference In weight.
"The weighing was done with scale
that easily would have shown the diff
ference OF a milligram Q4460OO of q
pound.
"They then let mouse die In an
open vessel, and a clear loss within
one-half minute after death of ten to
twenty milligrams was noticeable. 1t
proved clearly that gas was given
Off after death. 1t is the same way
with the human body. While it lives
the red blood corpuscles and tissues
hold oxygen gas, carbonic acid gas and
other vapors in perfect solution.
while in solution they can be
weighed, but the moment gases as
sumo their natural form as gases they
are absolutely without weight. So in
the human body these gases are In
perfect solution before death, but the
moment the body dies the red blood
corpuscles die with II, and they no
longer can hold the oxygen, carbonic
acid and probably other gases which
never have been discovered.
But suppose for a moment the soul
to weigh from one-half to one ounce.
1t then must be substance which
never in eternity can leave the earth.
Nothing that has weight ever can get
away from the earths atmosphere. 1t
may float above as gas, but 1t eau
not get away. All gases weigh some
thing There Is one-twentieth of an
ounce Of weight for quart Of air.
Any one can make the experiment with
bottle of soda water. weighing 1T be-
fore and after It has been opened.
EFF men have souls, mice have. That
always has been the presumption in
scientific experiment. The experiment
performed by the Boston physicians
should be repeated and the nature OF
the escaping gas settled beyond
doubt II the soul weighs something,
1t is therefore physical thing subject
solely to the laws Of nature and moth
ing else. 1t forever will be held by the
earth's attraction"

Favorable Weather Since June
/ Dispells EARLY Fears of
Poor Stands . !.
a LATE SUMMER HOPED FOR
All Kinds of Grains Have Made Rap
id Progress During Past Six Weeks
IF Frosts Hold Off Until Septem-
Der 1, Crops Will be Out of Danger
Other News.

Minneapolis, July 22.-The Canadian
west has never had longer or more
favorable period of good weather for
crops than that which began about
June / and is still unbroken to this
time. 1t Is upon the beneficial effects
OF II that the Canadians have placed
their hopes for recovery from what
was the most unfavorable early season
ever experienced.
Theodore Nj. Knappen, formerly sec
rotary of the Canadian West Immigra-
ton associat ton now a resident in Chi
was in Minneapolis yesterday. Mr..
Knappen is closely Informed thru con-
slant advices from personal observa-
ton as to conditions in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta. He believes
that the reports that were prompted by
the bad weather have created pessi-
mi.sm that is unwarranted at this time,
in View of the marked Improvement
that has followed the more recent good
weather. There were places in Sas-
katchewan at one time SO late as to
promise little, but today the minister
of agriculture of the province. Mr.
Motherwell. says the crop is looking
splendid and is almost made, and is
only ten days late. The bad place Is in
10 u-hnra there has
been dry weather.
Estimates All Wrong.
Mr. Knappen thinks the estimates of
60 per cent and rs per cent of crop
for the Canadian west that are being
heard are unwarranted. 1t is absurd
to try to figure it that way, he says.
1t is entirely a question of time and
the race is on between the crop and
the early frost. If the wheat natures
before the frost catches 1t. bumper
crop for the Canadian west Is by no
means impossible. If it does not ma
ture in time. 1t will be materially low
cred. 1t is entirely a question of time.
August % is about the date for the
first early frosts. If western Canada
gets over that date without serious
damage. there will be nothing to fear
until about September 10 or u, by
which time the crops will be made.
More Bank Reports.
The National Bank of Commerce has
received another installment of reports
from correspondents in Minnesota.
Iowa. North Dakota. South Dakota and
Wisconsin. Early in the season w. S.
Harris sent out inquiries to about 500
correspondents at widely scattered
points and thru the entire region of
important grain production. The sum-
mary at that time was so representa-
tive and>so we'll substantiated by later
reports that 1t was widely quoted in
the east and west. The later inquiries
went to the same points.
Collectively they show a condition
much more hopeful than some of the
reports that have been coming. It can
not be said that there is anything in
them to warrant expectation of bump
er crops But the writer's, while Civ
ing conditions as bad, where they are
bad. have avoided sensationalism
From the whole it would appear that
With favorable weather from now or
the northwest will have satisfactory
crops. tho aSrecord year in production
of wheat is not to be looked for
