Some Pointers to Be Remembered by
Those Who Are Users Of the
Telephone.

Most mcn-and women-use more
nervous force in speaking through the
telephone than would be needed to
Keep them strong and healthy for
years
Nature knows no strain. True sci
ence knows no strain. Therefore a
strained, high.pitched voice does not
carry over the telephone wire as well
as low one.
Impatience, rudencss indecision and
difiuscncss blur communication by
telephone even more than they do
when one is face to face with the per.
son talking.
II is as If the wire itself resented
these inhuman phases of humanity and
spit back at the person who insulted
It by trying TO transmit over 1t such
uninteliigcn. bosh.

was not surprising that the townspeo-
pie (crediting a report to the effect

that these unfortunates came at night
to dance over the graves.
Professor McGee found It impossi
BILE to get within a dozen feet of the
phantoms, which would always vanish
on his near approach. He Is unable
10 explain this circumstance; but he
became convinced through careful
study of the apparitions that they
were nothing more nor less than gas
eous emanations of a self.luminous
character. In all probability they
were largely composed of phosphorus,
derived from the dead bodies of peo-
pie buried in the potter's field.
Here, then, is an explanation of the
reason why ghosts haunt burying
grounds. They are in fact natural
mot supernaturaD product Of grave
yards. as one might say. In the body
of an adult human being there are 90
ounces of phosphorus, seven-eighths
of this quantity being contained in the
bones (where 1t goes to make phos,

ounces in the red corpuscles of the
blood, and nearly half an ounce in

phosphorus free in the gaseous state
