DECLARES IT SAFE AND SANE
Emmanuel Movement Discussed By So
cial Science Club.

The Social Science club held the
third meeting of the season last night
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. j. w.
Andrews. The meeting was also the
first ladies' night and the topic was
'Psychotherapy," or mental healing.
DIR. j. s. Holbrook read the opening
paper, in which he traced tine histori-
cal ground of the movement, stating
that he felt the Emmanuel movement
to be the sanest of all the mental
healing cults, as it was carried on
strictly under the charge and direction
of competent physicians, and worked
in harmony with the physicians. As
conducted in Boston, DR.. Holbrook took
the stand that the Emmanuel move
ment was sane and safe, but that the
danger was in the spreading of the
movement into incompetent hands. DR..
Holbrook also brought out the fact
that there are million and a half
adherents to the various cults of men
tai healing, which showed that there
was some need of it, and that the
matter should be looked into. Dr.
Holbrook also felt that physicians
were not trained as they should be
in psychology and the value of mental
healing.
Rev. T. Ross Paden read the second
paper, handling the subject of psychic
therapy," from the standpoint of the
clergy principally. DR.. Paden stated
that the clergy all used psychotherapy
more or less in their work, and felt
that it's chief value was not only the
applying of mental healing under the
control of physicians, but also the
applying of it on basis of sound
Christian philosophy. Rev. Paden
quoted John Wesley as having been
forced in the absence of a physician
to deal in physics himself, but drop
ped it as soon as a physician could
be procured, stating that he would
not attempt it again.
DR.. Paden also showed how the
clergy used mental healing in their
work
Following the two main papers of
the evening, general discussion took
place. Some of the members felt de-
cidedly that the healing should be
left to the doctors, while others of
the ministers felt that the clergy
should do more healing. 1t was also
stated that probably eighty-five per-
cent of the diseases were mental, but
some of the physicians took exception
to this.
Rev. Edwards felt that the doctors
should attend to the healing and not
turn to the clergy unless the case were
one of morals, or where there was a
lack of religious feeling. Rev. Edwards
did not think that the Emmanuel move
ment would spread, but would result
in the physicians having better APP
probation of a sound religious faith,
and the better training of the clergy
to produce in their people calm re-
ligious trust. There are about an
even number of clergy and physicians
in the club and the discussion was
an interesting one.
Resolutions were passed on the death
of Charles d. Geddes.
The next meeting of the club is
to be held on the regular date, Nov.
%, one week from last night. Sub

RELICS FROM A RIVER BED.
Finely Tempered Weapons from a Chan
mel on Canadian Border.

While workmen were removing rock
and debris from the old channel of the
river between the second and third
chutes to make way for the big power
dam on the American side they I'M
earthed in one of the pot holes in the
rock a remarkable collection of Indian
weapons and other articles, comprising
tomahawks, spearheads, arrowheads,
sturgeon hshhooks, etc., all made out of
pure copper and hardened to the consist
ency of steel.
The articles are bright in appearance
and are of superior workmanship, being
evidently the work of the prehistoric
race which fashioned the mounds, orna-
ments and utensils of the early days.
That these people possessed the knowl-
edge of tempering copper is evident from
the specimens. How they came there is
a mystery, but the general belief is that
party of Indians while endeavoring to
land or make a portage lost control of
their canoe and were swept over the
falls, the canoe being overturned, caus-
ing the contents to go to the bottom of
the river or be carried down stream.
That these articles were together is
proof that they must have been tied in
leather sack or some such receptacle.
They were found packed together in the
hole, which had doubtless been caused
by centuries of swirling waters and
gravel.-Fort Frances Cor. Minneapolis

SOURCES OF RApIuM.
Obtained from Pitchblende After the Alb
stTaction of Uranium.

Considerable surprise and great inter.
est have been caused throughout Eng
land by the discovery in Cornwall OF
large quantities of pitchblende, from
which radium is produced, after the ex-
traction Of uranium, says the Boston
Globe. Heretofore the taiiugs from the
Cornwall mines have been regarded rs
useless, but it has recently been found
that the residuum is the mother of ra-
dunn
Pitchblende ore is chiefly obtained in
the Erz-Gebirge, in Bohemia. and so val
liable are the finds that the Austrian
government has prohibited further ex-
portation from that country.
The process of extracting radium from
the ore is extremely tedious and expeu-
slve, tons of pitchblende yielding only
the minutest quantity of the precious
metal which is theoretically worth $50
OOO,0OO pound. The total world produc-
uon thus far has not equalled one grain,
or l-4S0th of pound. TO be appreciably
cheaper it must be derived from uranium
minerals, when obtainable in large quan-
titles from surface deposits. The Corn
ish mines are already fitted with machin-
cry for the treatment of the residuum
as ore, and the company contemplates
the treatment of pitChblende.

wegian frontier, a distance of about
eighty-one miles.
To meet the present largely increased
demands upon it and enable the man
