Kaiser Disiises Dclcssss!
Theophle Delcasse, who once more has
taken charge Of the French ministry OF

experience In that department than any
other statesman In France. lie he'd the
portfolio Of foreign affairs from 1870 untn
1896. during which period five different
cabinets came and went
NJ. Delcasse would in all probability
have continued In office even longer but
for the fact that his policy, especially In
regard TO Morocco, was viewed with such
disfavor by the German emperor that the
two countries almost came 10 blows. The
German emperor after 1is visit to Mo-
rocco on March 81. 1875, said in a speech
that French domination In that country
would not be tolerated.
On his return to Germany the emperor,
IL is said, demanded Delcasses retirement
from the French cabinet. Ills resignRt ton
followed shortly afterward and the rela-
tions Of the two countries improved, an
agreement being finally reached during
the Algeciras conference in 1896.
While he held office as foreign minister
VI. DelCasse was successful IN forming
friendly relations between France and
several European countries, including
Russia, Great Britain and Spain.
NJ. Delcasse is 80 years Old and started
his carer as a newspaper writer. lie wa
elected TO the Chamber Of Deputies r.
1889 and soon became a junior member OF
the ministry as under secretary Of state
for the colonies. lie has always displayed
a remarkable aptitude for administration.

EXPLANATION OF TELEPATHY?
Ethereal Vibration as Means Of
Transmitting Mental Message.

From the Hampton Magazine.
But now. accepting telepathy as an es-
tablished fact, the problem remains-How
are we to explain 1t? What is the mech
anism by which one person is able to
transmit messages directly and instan-
taneously to another person, although
they may be half the world apart?
To this question, 1t must frankly be
admitted, no positive answer can as yet
be returned. But some interesting hypo-
theses have lately been advanced not by
mere theorists. but by eminent men OF
science who, themselves affirming the &C
tuality of telepathy, have given much
thought to the problem of its mode of OPP
Grafton.
SIR William CroOkes, for example, call
ing attention to the marvellous but undis-
puted facts of ethereal vibration as evil
denced by the phenomena of wireless tel
egraphy and the Roentgen rays, urges
that here We have quite possibly an ade-
quate explanation of the mystery of tel
epathy of a wholly naturalistc basis
that is to say, basis which will enable
us to accept telepathy without dislocating
our entire conception of the physical uni
verse.
1T seems to me-" he suggests, that
these rays the Roentgen rays may have
gence which, with few reasonable pos
tulates, may supply the key to much that
is obscure in psychical research. Let il
be assumed that these rays, or rays of
even higher frequency, can pass into the
brain and act on some nervous center
there. Let it be conceived that the brain
contains a center which uses these rays
as the vocal chords use sound vibrations
(both being under the command of intel
ligence), and sends them out, with the
velocity of light, to impinge on the re-
ceivng ganglion of another BRAIN In
this same way the phenomena of telep-
athy and the transmission of intelligence
from one sensitive to another through
long distances seem to come into the do
main of law and can be grasped"
This, undoubtedly, is the explanation
that most strongly commends itself to
those scientists who courageously ac-
knowledge their belief in telepathy Nor
do they see any objection to 1t in the fact
that people apparently are affected by
the telepathic impulse only at certain
times. For the brain of both sender and
receiver may conceivably, on the analogy
of wireless telesraphy. be set to transmit
and receive telepathc communicate
only when attuned to vibrations of a GER
tain amplitude.
