THE ARYA SOMAJ.
Religious Society Of the Punjab and
Its Doctrine.

From the London Chronicle.
A thing one very quickly learns in
India is to take 1t in bits The political
movement in Bengal, Bombay and the
PunJab presents differences OF method
and outlook which must influence con-
illusions about Indian nationalism-a sub
ject OF particular interest at the present
moment
Lahore is the capital of the Punjab and
the center Of its political activities. Here
one meets among leaders Lajpat Raj, and
among organizations the Arya Somaj
Moreover. as in the Puntab. the Hindu
and the Mohammedan- practically balance
each other: 1t is In the Punjab that one
can best understand the difficulties which
must beset nationalist movement in
India. When one has gone around the
Arya Somaj school and college In the
morning. under the guidance OF the
Somaj leaders, interviewed the reception
committee of the Indian National Con-
gress in the afternoon, dined with the
Moslem League in the evening and filled
in the interstices with interviews with
British officials. one begins to understand
the intricacy of LahOre-e. g., PunJab-
politics.
The center and source of Punjab activi-
tics is the Arya Somaj. and Its propa-
ganda must be first of all understood. BY
the AnglO-lndlan OTnclalS IL Is TeSdTueu ds
a political body-as a society which has
some occult creed. and which pursues its
way under cloaks of deceit. Commission
ers and deputy commissioners. district
magistrates. collectors and policemen re-
gard the Arya as seditious organiZa-
ton, and indictments have been known TO
be made against men solely on the
ground that they belonged TO this soci-
ETY., and they have been bound over to
keep the peace because they were found
preaching its doctrines. The Arya has
therefore come to consider itself perse-
cuted IL is glorying in the fact: 1t re-
cords its fluctuations with fiourishes of
trumpets in every issue of its official or

cent way into its hands.

When Myriads Of Fish Swim Nea,
Surface of the Stream.
From the Manila Times.

From the Manila Times.
Friday morning Filipinos sharing cells
and other fish in the Pasig near the old
captain Of the port building by the aid of
fish snares caught the largest eel ever
seen on the water front. 1t was fully ten
feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the stream
were thronged with hundreds Of Filipinos
with snares and spears trying to catch
the fish that in myriads were swimming
near the surface of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to the
phenomenon were almost unanimous in
their statement to the effect that at this
time Of the year the bottom of the river
gets hot and that the fish have to leave
the depths of the stream and flash back
and forth on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have a
great many adherents was to the effect
that at this time every year there was a
change in the character Of the water. this
change acting on the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenomenon

WEIGHT OF THE SOUL"
English Authority Ridicules Alleged
Demonstration.
From the Lancet.

There is a popular notion that the
weight OF the living body is less than
that OF the dead one. In a recent issue
Of the Pioneer Mail a correspondent dis
cusses this question in connection with
the behavior of a crocodile. which he shot
dead while it was basking asleep on a
ouicksand.
When shot the crocodile began to sink
and almost disappeared before it could
be reached The correspondent is clearly
Inclined to accept the popular notion OF
an Increase in weight at death. but for
the fact that recent experiments under
taken by some learned authorities in
America have proved that dead body
was lighter than a living one. From this
they Cthe learned authorities) deduced
that the soul had definite weight in
pounds avoirdupois.'
II is possible that some Of our readers
are unfamiliar with the experiments to
which the correspondent Of the Pioneer
Mail refers. They were made and re-
corded a few years ago by DIR. Duncan

were weighed in the act OF dying The
scale used recorded any increase or de-
crease beyond the fifth OF an ounce
not a particularly delicate instrument for
estimating the weight Of that part Of the
living body which is usually regarded as
immaterial and imponderable.
In the first of series Of six expert
ments DIR. Macdcugan placed a man dying
from pulmonary tuberculosis on the
scales. The patient lest weight at the
rate CO one-siXteenth of an ounce per
minute until the moment Of death, when
the beam end dropped with an audible
stroke, showing a sudden decrease OF
three-quarters OF an ounce in weight. What
was the cause OF the sudden decrease? Dr.
Macdougall, after excluding the less due

the body by evaporation or other natural
means concluded that the marked ana
sudden decrease was due 70 escape Of the
