LONDON, Dec. 3.-That the soul Of man
Ia an aggregation of psyohomeres in
habiting the cells of the human body
and probably weighing about one-thou-
sandth part Of the body's weight is the
conspicuous proposition in theory
enunciated' In lecture in London by
Fournier d'Albe. secretary Of the Dublin
society Of Psychical Research. He held
out the hope that it would be possible
some day to see psychomeres. because.
he said, they are propably opaque to
ultraviolet light and therefore may be
made visible by more powerful optical
means than the world yet possesses.
Then they will be weighed and measured.
After death. Mr.. d'Albe said, the psyche
meres unite and form the soul body
suited to the environment Of the earths
atmosphere. In which it floats. These
bodies have consciousness and power
Of locomotion. the latter being probably
derived from the ultraviolet rays OF the
sun. The soul body lives cheaply. sub
sisting on the suns rays. and as these
are easily assimilable no digestive appa-
ratus is required. So the soul body Ia
stomaohless and knows nothing Of the
struggle for existence.
To balance this, however, it retains.
according to d. Abe, the higher quality
Of competition in mutual service, and
spends the time in oultivating the higher
virtues. The soul body is anywhere
between the surface OF the earth and
some circumscribing limit. vaguely speci-
fed as two hundred miles above IL. This
space 10 the soul realm.
The soul body apparently does not
suffer from lonesomeness, as dAlbe
states that the soul realm is as thiokly
populated as the earth. Indeed, the at
mosphere is inhabited by the souls OF
tellurians who have quilted the earth
life during the last thirty thousand years.
This mystic period limits the soui body's
existence in the atmosphere.
When this time is up it quits. but dAlbe
is not quite sure where it goes. He
suggests, however, further transforma-
ton into ia state of existence in inter-
planetary space, implying a final cosmic
union Of all souls Of all ages.
DAlbe is not an obscure dreamer.
His work in science and psychical re-
search has won the commendation of
Sir oliver Lodge and Sir William Crookes.

FIeHT OVER THE HOUSE. RUEEs
Speaker Cannon and His IAeutenants viii
Resist ANY Material Change.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 9.-Whiie It is gen.
orally conceded by Republican members
who are arriving In Washington that
Joseph @. Cannon Of Illinois will succeed
himself as Speaker Of the Hous, in the
new Congress. the indications are that
there will be q lively fight in opposition
to the readoption Of the present rules.
Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants will
resist this movement. They are Of the
opinion that any material. change In the
rules will result In chaos in the House.

In situation that will be more irksome
to the insurgents than present condl-
tions. The question OF the rules will be
threshed out In party conference few
days before Congress- is convened In spe-
cial session In March.
The opponents OF the existing rules are
lacking in militant leadership. Repre-
sentative Pete Hepburn Of Iowa, the
noblest insurgent Of them all, failed OF
reelection. He may institute contest
to retain his seat but this would place
him In a position where it would hardly

any definite programme.
Mr.. Hepburns plan is substantially
this: He would place limitation on the
power of the Speaker to appoint commit
tees permitting that officer to name but
one-third of the membership of each COM
mittee comprising the House organiza-
tion. the remaining two-thirds to be desig
mated by the Houss itself. acting through
committee created for the purpose;
he would have the committees thems slves
instead OF the Speaker name committee
chairmen; he would draft rule requiring
the Speaker to recognize member who
rose in his place and asked for recogn-
tion. Under the present practice the
Speaker recognizes a member or ignores
him. just as he chooses.

resentative Hepburn believes, conditions

IoSpoN, Dec. 3.-Sir Hiram Maxim
took the British nation to task for It's small
interest in aerial machines in lecture
deliyered yesterday before the Society
nf Arts. He reproached England for
,eino behind other first class European
Countries in progress toward solution
n this form OF locomotion.
docs any one doubt for q moment, =
sa,d he. that in case we find ourselves at
war with a Continental Power flying
machines will be used for bombarding
English towns both on the coast and in
land? The city Of London within q year q
time can be attacked without our enemy
needing to fear the boasted British feet.
"A French engineer of international re-
nown tells me that by this time next year
there will be plenty Of machines on the
market capable Of crossing and reorossing
the Channel several times at night and in
darkness without stopping he continued.
There is only one way of combating
this danger and that is by constructing
machines ourselves. Our achievements
In this line thus far are insignifcant be-
cause we lack the imagination Of the
French and the Americans. They begin
by believing; weby doubling"
Sir Hiram went on TO say that he thought
the Wright aeroplane a rough and inn
perfect piece Of mechanism. but IL
equipped with trustworthy motor it
could be made much more serviceable.
Other speakers seconded Sir Hiram q
warning that it Is full time for England
N wake up unless she wants to find her
self at the mercy Of the Continental mill
tary fliers.
One of the most curious parts Of Sir Hi
rsn's remarks related to his own attempts
at the construction Of aeroplanes, which
he said dated back twenty-five years.
He said he had invented machine which
included all the advantageous features
Of the Wright machine. even to the flexed
outer corners of the wings. This, he as
serted, he had patented eleven years ago.
Sir Hiram closed his speech with the
assertion that although not young he was
a very active old man and If capital
we're forthcoming he would guarantee
the construction of a motor twice as
light as that used by the Wrights.
Vast sums of money" he said, "are
about to be expended on flying machines
by all first class Governments. Thus is
now presented to wealthy men who are
able to risk money an opportunity such
as occurs only once in century. For
my part mean to devote the rest Of my
life to the task OF putting England abreast
Of other nations in this most important
development Of science in the twentieth
century"
