Doctors Weigh Soul.
That the human soul has material
vehicle susceptible Of being measured
and weighed by human science Is the
conclusion of six years of experimental
ton by Drs. Duncan, MacDougall and
Syroul of Haverhill and DR.. Grant Of
Lawrence, Mass. The experiments in
question were conducted in a Massa-
chusetts sanitarium and were kept an
entire secret from the outside world
until definite results could be shown.
The essential point thus far developed
is that Immediately after the heart has
ceased to beat and at the moment
when, in the usual phraseology, the
''soul leaves the body" there is an ap-
probable loss In the bodily weight
which cannot be accounted for by any
scientific deductions dealing with pure
ly physical data.
Preparatory to the tests the doctors
arranged bed for dying patients OH
scale so carefully balanced that the
slightest deviation became at once ap-
parent. The experiments covered sew
eral cases, including both men and wo-
men, and in every instance the result
was practically the same, showing
loss In weight of from half an ounce to
an ounce within O few seconds after
the cessation Of physical life. 1t was
noted as an interesting incident that
while generally this change occurred
Immediately after the heart had ceased
to beat, in the case Of a phlegmatic
man, slow of thought and action, the
change was delayed full minute after
apparent death. The observations and
notes were made by the physicians sep
arately, but careful comparison show
ed them to be in substantial accord.
and all attempts to disprOve the sound
ness of their conclusions have failed to
change the result. In connection with
these experiments tests were also
made with the lower animals. princi-
pally dogs, the result in those cases
being that no deviation of the scales
was perceptible when the life departed.

great cry.

Beverley Rochfort rose to his feet
with a low laugh. He was no coward.
like Sheila. He rather hoped there would
be some excitement now.
Jack was silent scarcely moment I;
he never eyen glanced at the man; ne
looked straight at his wife.
The carriage is waiting for you, Lady
john" he said in a voice which Audrey
had never heard from his lips before; II
is time for you to return to your home.
Audrey looked at her husband out OF
her great, blue eyes, all distraught as
they were. For the moment she had for
gotten his treachery at joy in his coming.
Now, as with one heavy blow, it all re-
turned to her. The end had surely come
when he could speak to her like this,
and how terrible was the way in which
he stared at her. She had not strength
to move limb or utter a sound.
II request that you accompany me to
the carriage at once" Jack said, this
time quite fercely.
Audrey drew her domino about her.
Vaguely she felt that, bad as the horizon
of her life had looked short hour ago,
it was doubly worse now. She did not
comprehend Jacks manner, but it hurt
her to the quick. That he should speak
TO her like this, and before that odious,
horrible man! She put out both her
hands. Fear of Beverley drove away her
jealous pangs.
Yes, yes; take me home. I am ready
to go. entreat you to take me!'
Jack stood on one side for her to pass,
and as he faced Beverley Rochfort alone
for an instant, he said, very quietly:
Either your life or mine answers for
this nights work. You understand?
"Perfectly," smiled Beverley, but he
frowned the next moment.
A duel! This was not what he had
anticipated. Andrew did not catch the
hurried words, and, as she walked away
beside her husband she was too deeply
miserable to think Of anything but that
a cloud had fallen on her life; that
Jacks love had gone from her, and she
was the most wretched girl on earth.

which Mrs Abigail Gray's peaceful

HISTORY OF LEAD PENCILS.
Used in n Primitive Form Back In
the Middle Ages.

the Middle Ages.
It Is difficult to determine the exact
period In which "black lead" was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
or drawing, as it has been confused
with other mineral bodies to which IT
bears no relation. The ancients used
lead, but the metal was formed into
fiat plates and the edges Of these plates
used to make the mark. If an orna-
mental design was desired the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
their Illuminated designs, usually with
a hard point, but also with soft lead.
That lead was known to the ancients Is
also proved by the fact that. 1t Is men
toned in the book Of Job.
During the year 1915 there was de-
scription of the black lead pencil writ
ten by Conrad Gesner. He says that
pieces Of plumbago were fastened In
wooden handle and a mixture of fossil
substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw
ing. About half century later a good
account Of this mineral was given, and
it was then used in Italy for drawing
and mixed with clay for manufactur-
ing crucibles. We are Informed In Beck
mans History of Inventions that the
pencils first used in Italy for drawing
were composed Of a mixture Of lead
and tin, nothing more than pewter.
This pencil was called a stile. Michael
Angelo mentions this stile, and, In fact,
it seems that such pencils were long
used in common over the whole contl-
nent of Europe. At this period the
name plumbago or graphite was not in
use. but instead of the name molybdena
or molybdoids, which Is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead Is formed in
the primary rocks. In the United
States it occurs in felspar and quartz,
In Great Britain In greensboro rock
and gneiss, and in Norway in quartz.
The mine at Barowdale, England, has
supplied some of the finest black lead
in the world, but the quantity varies,
owing to the irregularlty with which
the mineral occurs.
The Jews were for a while the only
manufacturers of pencils. 1t requires
great skill to perfect the manufacture,
according to the degree Of hardness or
softness required. OF recent years the
manufacture Of pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price of
these articles has decreased proper
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
Of artificial black lead pencils and on
the other hand, the greatest perfection
Is attained in the making Of the higher
class pencils Graphite Is exposed to
heat to acquire firmness and brilliancy
of color. Sulphur is also used to secure
more perfect color.
