SAYS SCIENCE PROVES
A FUTURE EXISTENCE
Or. Carl Guthe Declares That Person.
aIity and Spirit Goes on
After Life Is Ex-
tinct

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 14.-"If
you claim that personality is both mat
ter and mind, both physical energy
and consciousness, are we not COM
pletely destroyed when death claims
our bodies?' is the question DR.. Carl
E. Guthe, professor of physics, an
swered in lecturing to students of the
University of Michigan on the prob
ability of life after death without ref
erence to a religious theory. DR.. Guthe
said:
Our life is a constant growth of the
human intellect closely connected with
the development of the body. But we
know that there is a continuous inter-
change of cells, decaying and forming,
and yet, though the living tissues may,
in the course of time be entirely re-
newed, the Individual continues to
exist; it remains one and the same.
But even the matter and energy which
has been given off from the living body
has not disappeared, 1t is still in exis-
tence though disconnected from the
fe-giving principle. Should we not
demand that there should be a similar
conservation for the invisible part of
our life?
Admits Limit of Vision
"I have not the power to describe
what the life after death is; the in
tellect will not tell us. However, do
not see any reason why the mind could
not form new combinations which are
beyond our comprehension, or why con-
sciousness in a wider sense should
cease with death.
why should we only describe per-
sonality to those combinations of mat
ter and mind which appear in the
form of animals or men? In a wider
sense the universe has a personality,
spirit. We speak of the will of the
people. Can we find a unity of pur-
pose and feeling in as large assemblase
as this?
while 1 have to content myself with
the assertion that mind is as indes-
tructible as matter and energy, my
firm belief in evolution and in an or
derly plan Of the universe leads me
to doubt that there can be any retro
gression in it's development. 1 believe
my spirit will, after death, be more
advanced in all the characteristics OF
the human soul.
"And thus / find no difficulty what
ever in believing in personality EN-
bracing the whole universe and in
timately blended with a marvelouslS
intricate system of material bodies, a
personality different from ours, it is
| true, but since 1 form a part OF 1t, one
| of the same nature as my own, only
grander, wiser, more powerful anc
more just.
I'm conclusion let me state that the
views here advanced were not obtained
by adherence to any theological OF
philosophical dogma, but were the re
suit of a purely scientific search after
a world pioture which would satisfy
ont only the intellect but the human
soul''

Safe and Sane Referending

Mitchell-A movement has recently
been started in this section of the
state to raise the percentage of vot-
ers who are required to sign a petit
ton requesting the referring Of a state
law back to the people. Since the re-
CEN election there has been strong
feeling aroused that 1t should be more
difficult to secure the referending of
laws which have been passed by the
legislature. Under the present law
5 per cent of the voters only is nec-
essary to have a law turned rack. 1t
is the intention to present a measure
to the legislature at the coming ses-
sion requiring that all petitions for
regferring laws must Re backed up
with the signatures Of Is per cent of
the voters of the state. This figure
may be too high, and the legislature
may cut 1t down to some extent. but a
strong effort will be made by the leg
islators from this section to have the
S per cent raised to a much higher
figure.

he said in response to my invitation
20 dinner, land, anyhow. there's no
use dining out when / pay the same,
dinner or no dinner, where l Am stop
ping"
The day had been hot, and the first
floor dining was sultry in spite
of the palms and fans which attempted
to simulate the verdure and breezes
of the country.
1t IA crowded, too, with a typical
sunmer night crowd, and, after sit
ting for a few minutes in a swelter-
ing corner, we got up and went to the
smaller dining room upstairs. Here it
was not so warm, and we settled our
selves comfortably by a window.
Over in a corner half a dozen boys
on their way back to school were rag
ging a perspiring waiter, a proceed
ing so exactly to Meningitis taste
that he insisted on going over to join
them. But their table was full, and
somehow that kind of fun had lost it's
point for me.
Not far from us a very stout, mid
dle-aged man, apoplectic with the
heat, was elephantinely jolly for the
benefit of a bored looking girl across
the table from him, and at the next
table a newspaper woman ate alone,
the last edition propped against the
water bottle before her, her hat, for
GOODNESS, on the corner of the table.
1t was a motley Bohemian crowd.
! looked over the room casually,
while Mcknight ordered the meal
Then my attention was attracted to
the table e to ours. Two people
were sitting there, so deep in CONVEX
sation that they did no notice us.
The woman's face was hidden under
her hat, as she traced the pattern of
the cloth mechanically with her fork.
But the mans features stood out clear
in the light of the candles on the
table 1t was Bronson!
He shows the strain, doesn't he?"
Mcknight said. holding up the wine

away again l breathed easier.
who is it," asked Mcknight under
his breath.
Ontario" l formed it with my
lips rather than said it. Meningitis
eyebrows went up and he looked with
increased interest at the black-gowned
figure.
l ate little after that. The situation
was rather bad for me, | began to see.
Here was a woman who could, If she
wished, and had any motive for SO
doing, put MI in Jail under a capital
charge. A word from her to the po-
lice, and polite surveillance would be-
come active interference.
Then, too, she could say that she
had seen me, just after the wreck,
with a young woman from the muir
dered mans car, and thus probably
bring Alison West into the case.
1t is not surprising, then. that I ate
little. The woman across seemed in
no hurry to go. She loitered over a
demi-tasse, and that finished, sat with
her elbow on the table, her chin in
her hand, looking darkly at the chang
ing groups in the room
The fun at the table where the col
lege boys sat began to grow a little
noisy; the fat man, now a purplish
shade, ambled away behind his slim
companion; the newspaper woman
pinned on her business-like hat and
stalked out. Still the woman at the
next table waited.
1t was a relief when the meal was
owe We got our hats and were
about to leave the room, when a
waiter touched me on the arm.
Il beg your pardon, sir" he said,
but the lady at the table near the
window, the lady in black, sir. would
like to speak to you"
l looked down between the rows OF
tables to where the woman sat alone,
her chin still resting on her hand. her
black eyes still insolently staring,
this time at me.
I'll have to CO." l said to Mcknight
h%urriedly. "She knows all about that
affair and she'd be a bad enemy"
Il don't like her lamps" Mcknight
observed, after a glance at her. BET

An analytical chemist was retained
as a skilled witness some years ago.
where there are questions of analyt-
zeal chemistry. There was one case
where a farmer had bought some ar
tiicial manure. and he was being
sued for the price Of it. He resisted
payment On the ground that the ma
terial had none of the qualities Of
manure at all. The expert chemist
was one Of the witnesses, and had
stated that. although the substance
had the smell, it had none of the
chemical qualities of manure. Under
cross-examination he was asked, II
that was SO, how did he account for
hundreds of the best farmers having
taken the manur for many years.
They must have been led By the
nose" returned the witness.
