HYSLOP SAYS SPIRITS CURE
Thinks ''Discarnate Souls" Can Do
Much When Body Is Diseased

DR.. James Fl. Hyslop, writing on "Spir-
itual Healing" in the November issue of
the Journal of the American Society for
Psychical Research, takes the broad
ground that the use of the word "sugges-
tion" as a therapeutic agent is merely
confession of ignorance and that moral
perversions, as well as mental cures are
al times associated with the intervention
of spirits. This intervention he says, is
sometimes malicious and sometimes be-
nevolent, but science, hopelessly bound
to materialistic conceptions. is unwilling
to recognize the nature of the forces at
work, says the New York Tribune. This
unwillfngness, he says. science has trans
lated into a term which, while intended
as an explanation of psychic phenomena,
has only deepened the mystery surround
ing it, and given scientists an opportunity
to elude the labors of thorough and i'm
partial Investigations.
The word Suggestion" in short he says,
has been twisted from a mere description
of "a situation in certain cures which de-
fled understanding in the ordinary way
into a cause of the cures themselves. 1t
has increased ignorance by magnfying
the appearance of knowledge
DIR. Hyslop. goes to assert that the
action of discarnate spirits on the body
is no harder to believe than the assump-
tion of medical men that the organic
functions of the organism are affected by
mental activity. He cites various in
stances of the supposed interventions of
spirits; in one of these saying he cured
his daughter of st. Vitus' dance by hold
ing 'her hand and forehead each evening,
using mental suggestions only and a
prayer for the help of a special person.

PHILIPPINES AS AN ASSET
Train Our Fighting Men Now-May
Help Feed Us in Future

With the theory presented by one of our
readers that we need the Philippines as
training school for our army. there will
be good deal of easily explicable and
justifiable dissent. Few of us will like
to think, as he did. that the islands are
worth keeping merely because several
millions of their Inhabitants are likely for
a good many years to come to give an
otherwise peaceful nation a chance con-
stantly to practice on them the art of
man killing and by encountering the dan
gers and hardships of real war, make
them ever ready for fighting against other
enemies, says the New York Times
That some of the wilder Filipinos will
need lot of subduing before they arrive
at appreciation of civilization and settled
government is probable enough. but it
hardly follows that the performance of
this task would be the best or even a
good preparation for possible encounters
with foes not savage, waging war in
wholly different ways. Of course, the ex-
perience would be of some value, but
those of cur soldiers who We're killed.

paigns would not be of much use there

during it has now been abandoned by all
except the oldest of military experts.
That was the notion which led to the
camping of our troops on the sands of
| Tampa for months before they were sent
to Cuba, an experiment not likely to be
tried again.
more convincing or at least a more
plausible argument for our retention of
the Philippines is that of those who,
while hoping that little more fighting will
be necessary, there and believing that it
won't be If the civilizing agencies already
at work can be continued, take a long
look ahead and see a time coming when
the nations in the temperate zones will be
more dependent for food than now on the
fertility of wellwatered tropic soil. The
weight of this argument Is not great for
the present generation, and will not be
much greater for several of its successors,
but-well there is no doubt that the earth
Is cooling off: that aridity is slowly
spreading through the temperate regions,
and that humanity will have to make its
last stand in the tropics. The races that
have a firmly established foothold there
then will not be the last to succumb to
the inevitable.

SOUGHT TO CHEER C0MRADE
Incident Of Siege Of Santiago That
Showed the Spirit Of the Amerl-
can Soldier.

1t was long ago at the siege of
Santiago and two o'clock in the aft
ernoon, Jim Hutchinson of the til
New York Volunteers had lain on
the ground for hours, since early
morning, in fact, with the hot tropi-
cal sun mounting higher and higher
in the heavens, not even a drop of
water with which to moisten his
parched throat, and no shelter but
the scant shade of a battered palm
tree, awaiting the arrival of the sur
geon to dress no less than five wounds
which he had received in battle. A
young private from his regiment
who had been wounded slightly in
the heel was carried back and lid
alongside of jim. He asked for a
mouthful of water. Jim held up his
empty canteen and shook his head.
Presently the boy began to moan.
Rising on his elbow, and glancing
at the tortured c~ountenance of his
companion in misery, Jim smiled,
just a little smile of sympathy, and
said in a whisper, "Cheer up, pal,

STATUE ON BALL BEARINGS
italian City Of Venice Probably Has
Only Example Of the Kind In
the World.

There r many kinds Of angels
ranging in style from those we read
about in the Bible to those who bring
out talent on the stage, the American
Machinist remarks in describing a
new type of the seraphic assortment.
This angel is 'ball bearing" 1t
stands on top of the famous tower
known as the Campanile di San Mar
co, in Venice, and swings to the
wind like a weathervane.
The statue Of the angel San Marco,
which surveyed the old city Of
lagoonS since the sixteenth century,
was found but little damaged among
the ruins after the collapse Of the
tower. 1t was repaired and now
stands again on the lofty height, but
is supported in a very different man
ner from the old, for it now rests on
modern ball bearings.
This method of mounting allows
the statue to be turned around a ver-
teal axis by the wind, so that it
swings automatically into such a po-
sition that the angel always presents
the smallest surface to the end or
storm. If one considers that the
large wings Of the angel, which are
II feet high, project straight back
ward, it may be imagined that the
difference of the wind pressure is
considerable, whether the wind blows
against the small front surface or
against the side exposing the large
surface of the wings.
