Ghosts and HaIIucinations.

FROM f1amptOn :.
The modern theory of ghosts insists that
invariably. when they are real ghosts and
not the spurious product of credulity and
deception. they are distinctly subjective in
character. and exist only by virtue of con-
ditions permitting their creation in the
mind of the person or persons seeing
them. In other words. a real ghost is
never an objective phenomenon like a tree

where they amt" That is to say. it is an
hallucinat.on.
Indeed. the old objective view of ghosts
was doomed the moment psychologists
inquire seriously into the frequency, ma
ture,, and laws of h~allucinations.
1t has been conclusively demonstrated
perienced at least one hallucination at
some time in his or her life.
Proof of this results chiefly from a re-

TERMINALS IN ENGLAND.
A London Railroad Station That Daily
Handles Vast Crowds.

! Until the new Pennsylvania station
| was built, the city OF New Yorks rail-
way terminals could not compare with
| many of the big railway terminals on
| the other side of the Atlantic. Now
with the Pennsylvania terminal built
and the New York Centrars mighty
| building in the process of completion.
New York win boast OF the two big
| gest and best equipped railway ter
minals in the world.
Up to the time that the Pennsylvania
terminal was projected the largest rail-
way station in the world was at Lime
street. Liverpool. a station built thir-
~ years ago and used by no fewer
than five railways operating in the
north of England. and containing forty
platforms. The Live street station is
far surpassed by both New York ter
minals. In London there are many
famous stations with world wide repu-
Ia lions. the largest being the Liverpool
street station cf the Great Eastern
railway. This terminal and the hotel
connected with IL Is one OF the oldest
and largest In London and handles
full million passengers daily. One Of
the sights OF the city Is to see the
enormous crowds that arrive daily from
the eastern suburbs and disperse
through the FIVE exits OF the station.
The station is divided into two Sec
tions. one for the handling of the inain
lines and long distance trains and the
othar for loraI traffic Conaistiuhr of
thirty-five platforms. The Great East
ern compeny. like all other English
companies. has four sets OF rails. two
