Rev. Dr. G. S. Gregory. editor of the
Homiletic Review. has just received a
letter from Rev. DR.. George Frederick
Wright. of Oberlin college, Ohio, which
discloses the object of trip the pro-
fessor has started to make through ST.
IBERIA. He is considered an authority
on the glacial period of the earth's geo.
logical history and refuses to accept
the theory that the deluge merely sub
merged the regions round about Pales-

in which the deluge took place. Next
he will explore the Caucasus range.

STRONG MEN MADE WEAK.
Big Ones In Harvard's Football Suuad
Given Astonishing Exhibition
of Hypnotic Power

Jack MacMaster, Harvard's veteran
trainer, gave the crimson pigskin
chasers one of the most exciting ex-
periences of their lives the other day.
MacMaster brought on the field Will
liam H. Mack, young man weighing
about $40 pounds, and challenged any
one of the squad to lift him (Mack)
off his feet. This was easy, all thought,
but of % men who made the try not
one man accomplished the feat. After
about all had made try Capt. DAILY
said he would do it. but was equally
unsuccessful Then Head Coach Ben
Dibblee tried and failed.
Mack uses what may be called by
some hypnotic power. or the power of
mind over circumstance When a man
would try to lift him Mack would place
his index finger lightly on the side of
the neck of the litter and by some un-
seen power destroy the strength of his
opponent. When his finger was re-
moved he was lifted almost as a child
by the sturdy footballsts.
Innumerable tests were made. until
Mack was completely exhausted from
the terrific strain under which he was
laboring.
