The Swiss experiments con-
firm the previous ones made in
America in showing that cult
walton by explosion can be con-
Quoted without danger if the
most elementary precautions are
used.
A single dynamite or gam
site cartridge exploded at q
depth of about a yard produces
cone of pulverized earth from
thirty-six to forty square feet in
area at the surface, and The force
of the explosion is so completely
used up in the trituration of the
soil that there is no serious
throwing about of fragments at
the top. A young fruit tree
planted in one of these cones of
triturated earth shows immedi-
ately the stimulating effects of
the process.
Evidently we have hardly
scratched the surface of the
earth hitherto. 1t is filled with
riches only a few. feet down,
which only need to be brought
to the top in order to double the
capacity of the land for the pro-
duction of grains and fruits.

Ground Thus Prepared
Possesses Great Deal
of Fertility.

Ground that Is thus prepared
possesses more than ordinary
fertility. because not only is a
greater depth of soil, filled with
nourishing elements, brought
into action to feed the plants,
but the pulverizing by the ex-
plosions of virgin layers that
were never before broken up
into soil brings fresh store of
plant food into use. Then, too,
II has been shown that the
greater degree of fineness to
which the explosions reduce the
particles of earth is an impor-
tant matter. since 1t results in
the freeing of chemical ele-
ments, even from soil that is re-
garded as worn out, that the

~T>HE sun may be clouded, yet the
i Will sweep on its course till the cycle is run
And when into chaos the systems hurled
Again shall the Builder reshape world
You were and you will be; know this while you are:
Your spirit has travelled both long and afar.
1t came from the Source, to the Source it returns;
The spark that lighted eternally burns.
1t slept In the jewel, 1t leaped In the wave;
1t roamed in the forest, it rose from the grave;
1t took on strange CARDS for long of years.
And in the soul of yourself it appears.
From body to body your spirit speeds on;
1t seeks new form when the old is gone;
And the form that it finds is the you wrought
On the loom of the mind, with the fiber of thought
AS dew is drawn upward in rain descend,
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend.
You can not escape them; petty, great
Or evil, or noble they fashion your fate. -
Somewhere planet, sometime and somehow
Your life will reflect all the thoughts of your now
The law is unerring no blood atone;
The structure you you must live in alone.
From cycle to cycle, through and through space
Your lives with your longings will ever keep pace
And all that you ask for, and all you desire,
Must come at your bidding, as flames out of fire.
You your devil, you are your own god
You fashioned the paths that footsteps trod
And you from sin
Until you shall bark to the spirit within.
Once list to that voice and all tumult is done
Your life is the life of the Infinite One;
In the hurrying you conscious of pause
With love for the Purpose, and love for the Cause.

A Universal Mind.
So wonderful were the powers
of mind anciently known TO such
profound wise men OF the East"
as Badarayana, Vedanta founder
ana kaplia, founder of Sampkhya,
That even these men thought they
were unable of themselves to do
these remarkable mental feats.
Ihey saw, as they discovered
these powers, hitherto apparently
latent in some obscure mind re-
glon, that the human mind Is IN
deed elaborate and complex be-
yond comparison.
In fact, these men of mighty
minds, now only equaled by rev.
elers in the sublime heights OF
calculus, but in an entirely diff
ferent way really believed that
they were helped by some vast
external mind. They thought it to
be impossible Of themselves to
send mind messages to great dis
tances and receive from their
friends at a distance. Then they
advanced the theory that there
Is a cosmic mind. And that this
universal mind aids man.
Thus an ancient Hindu, when he
succeeded in taking away the eff
feet Of gravity and leftN heavy
object suspended in the air, at
times thought that his mind did
not cause the cessation of gravi-
tation; but that cosmic mind
really caused the humiliation OF
attraction.
And when paralytics were cured
they thought that some external
power wrought the change
IN the Buried Temples.
Everything known on these al
Turing subjects was known in the
temples from Ellora and Elephsn-
tina, in remote India, westward
in the sacred temples and AdyH
of all Mesopotamia, and especially
In the buried temples now under

II OUR requests in one day
that 1 write note on this
fascinating subject Is the
cause of this writing. This term
has been appearing in many
books, pamphlets and magazine
articles during. say. ten years.
1t was a kind OF revival this re-
appearance. And my letters, re-
ceived from many remote parts
of the world, also began to con-
tain the two mystic words.
Very Ancient Thought.
Cosmic is English for the
Greek word Kosmikos, meaning
the universe. But the Greek phi
losophers. not knowing a single
law of nature-the stupendous
discoveries of the law of gravita-
ton and of how to differentiate
and integrate had not been an
nounced by any Greek Newton
they. looked upon the grand CO.'S
mic order of nature In another
light-not mathematical.
This was the base Of their
harmonics. They made great use
of this idea, even while ignorant
of infinitesimals, rates and the
supremacy, all-absorbing and fas-
cinating wonders of the modern
scientific world-namely, the con-
secutive state. They philosophical
as best they could without this
rock-hewn base of all modern
concepts.
Few among the hundreds of
writer's using the term "cosmic
consciousness" are aware that
they are merely terminating very
ancient Aryan pre-Hindu thought

read; glimpsed every fifth, eighth
or tenth word in extreme haste, to
save time-written by happy folk

common hallucination that they
were giving to waiting world
something new.

THE NEWSPAPER JOB.

Many people believe that news
paper falls together without work or
concerted action or plan. Rev. Nc
Deod, Presbyterian minister at Pas
adena, was of the opinion, and asked to
be allowed to edit an edition of the Pas
adena Star The editor gladly accep-
ted the opportunity to go fishing, and
the minister took up his duties in the
newspaper Office. This is how he felt
when he found himself at the end of the
task, which it must be said, had been
done quite creditably.
"My time is almost up as [ pen this

my brain is befuddled and am free to

it strikes me as the effort to bring or
der out of chaos, and to do it lightning
quick.
| am reminded of the memorable
words, THE earth was without form
and voiG, and darkness was upon the
face of the waters" Never shall crit
icise newspaper men more. | shall
pray for them. They will have my
hearts forbearance henceforth and for
ever. They are the hardest worked,

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

Subscriber: "What so far has
been the cost of the Panama canal?
How does the United States Govern
ment get the money spent on the can
ala" Cost of canal to date is 1918, 900, 600.
The Government plans to pay for the
canal mainly by selling its bonds, so
that posterity may pay part of the
cost.
Reader: IF man with little
children settles in this country and is
naturalized, can his sons vote when
they come of age?" Suppose he has
stepsons?" The naturalization of the
father makes his sons American citizens
when they come of age without further
ado. Naturalization of the father con-
fers citizenship upon stepsons only in
case their mother was alive at the time
of the naturalization.
"Hospitality.' Will you please pub
lish the recipe for making Mr.. Bryan's

following direction: "This amount will
be sufficient for large number of peo-
pie, but the recipe can be divided to
suit. Wash and scrub perfectly clean
with brush one dozen lemons, squeeze
out all the juice: put the rinds into a
porcelain-lined kettle and cover with
boiling water; steep, but do not let them
boil, for 20 minutes, then strain and add
to this the juice; when quite cold add
one-half gallon of best grape juice,
three pints of cold water, half-pound
of marshmallows cut up fine and sweet
en- to taste. In serving let some of the
marshmallows be in each glass, and
cool with cracked ice."
