"HREE things have been
brought out very clearly in
the recently concluded trial
of two young men before the
United States District Court in
California under the Mann act.
The first of them is the grow
ing tendency OF society to esti-
mate the bearings of the case in
terms of its social reactions.
The second is the astonishing
numbers of people competently
prepared for life at every point
except the one which has to do
with the conduct of their love life.
And the third, which Is the
most pressing, is the need OF es-
tablishing suitable restraints and
nenalties to meet similar offenses
in the future.
II is not alone in expressed
public opinion that the new atti-
tude toward such irregularities is
demonstrated.
In the sort OF men chosen for
the fury, in the courts interpre-
tstion of the law, and especially
In the charge TO the jury, there
is a notable absence Of the dispo-
sition of men mutually to con-
done offenses peculiar to them
selves as men.
Out In the West 1t is certain
that a sufficient number of citi-
gems have grown UP and out of
this ancient reconsideration of
women to stamp our public rat
ing of this affair with a new NOR
al force.
Any obloquy resting upon us as
community in which such
things can happen has been more

ly understood, to embrace an tfie
social and personal relations and
obligations that arise out of low
ing.
One of tie first things a writer
Of fiction learns is the extraor-
binary ignorance Of the majority
of people Of human exigenctee
outside OF their own experience.
For this reason alone the old
way of leaving instruction IN the
important issues of life to the
parents has not proved satisfao-
tory. In many cases the parents
do not know how to help their
children meet crises they haven't
themselves met. They lack knowl-
edge of social conditions and the
teaching art. For telling young
people that life is thus and so
is not always teaching them.
Things like this are never really
taught until they are taken into
the working consciousness of the
individual.
Here In America we spend great
deal on the young generations,
1t behooves US as a business peo-
pie to spend a little more time
and consideration to prevent them
making fiasco of their lives, as
In the present instance. For that
is the outcome of the whole af-
fair.
These young men, because of
certain failure of efficiency in on
.ly one department of their lives,
have not only damaged the wo-
men to whom they were related
and the children they begot. but
they have wasted themselves No

practical outcome of this case IN

contour, dust and vapor greatly
hinder the seeing in all telescopes.
In fact, no good view of any
cosmic body can be had while 1t
is within several degrees of the
horizon. But in free space the
telescope greatly extends the
power of vision, but not the hort-
zon. The telescope up here, 16

millions of distant suns into view.
Q. Are astronomers paid by
the Government, and are we en-
titled to information free?
A Astronomers only in Gov
eminent employ receive pay from
the Government. Others receive
pay from the universities. But
the majority have no pay. and
are often sorely pressed to get a
living. They devote every mo-
ment from youth to death in
studying the supremely magnifi-
cent laws of the sidereal universe.
History reveals that many have
suffered in the cold for want of
sufficient clothing, since no heat
of stove can be anywhere near
a telescope. And a number have
died in extreme poverty. The L.

Auto Hallucination.
Q. viii you please explain how
a person is lifted by four persons
placing their index fingers under
his shoulders and legs, by means
of slight lifting force, at time OF
inhaling a long breath by each
person. and by the person about
to be lifted?
A. have been asked this ques-
ton many times. If a person ac-
tually has been lifted, and hose
doing the lifting think that the
law of gravity is partially sus-
pended" then the filters are un-
der self hallucination or auto
suggestion in so far as their i'm
preston of lifting Is concerned.
They actually lift far more than
they think, but they will not ad-
nit this, as they are partially
self hallucinated in the belief
that the body of the person will
rise And IL thew really slcceed
in lifting the man two inches,
they think it a foot. Auto-hal-
lucination is a remarkable mento-
logical phenomenon and is now
being studied by mentalists here
and in Europe with minute care
and research.

But the other two items are
still to meet. The one of them
involves a measure Of prevention,
the other concerns the question
of the cure.
An extraordinary insuf7iciency
of the knowledge of the princi-
pies of human conduct was shown
by the parties to the case. They
knew, of course, that what they
did was called wrong, wicked"
but they did not know it to the
degree which prevented them
from doing it. as they could have
been prevented by knowledge
from exposing themselves to
smallpox or the plague. And yet
the social consequences of such
acts are as certain and as widely
known as the consequences of in

these young people had did not

The Laws of Nature
o o o

4 MOST notable event oc-
~ CURED the other day, one
that filled me with start
ling ideas and hope. l received
seven requests to explain the
Laws of Nature. These are the
most gratifying letters l ever have
received in one day, during forty
six years of almost constant pub
lication.
All along, editors as well as
others, have thought that in the
busy modern world of mad rush
for gold" that the supremely mag
nified diamond and sapphire laws
of nature were not suited to a
daily newspaper.
Here is my own opinion from
constant contact with people from
every nation in the world during
thirty-four years in an astronom-
teal observatory. One person in
each one thousand of the entire
race human has ever heard of
Law Of Nature. One in ten thou
sand has ever seen one of
these stupendous laws in print.
They have not read the proper
books. They have passed by the
glories wearing almost black
glasses, and have missed nearly
all.
In my thirteen years writing for
the Hearst newspapers have
published perhaps twenty of these
laws, when writing the long Sc
rics on Radiant Energy, and the
other series on Electricity. Three
Laws of Mind have also appeared.

think that If these laws could
become generally known, that the
entire fabric of civilization would
be greatly modified; in fact,
changed; and this change would
have a strong tendency to end
savagery, drunkenness, prize
fighting, murders and general
murder-war.
At present, great expense must
be incurred by those wishing to
see how the Laws of Nature look

Stunning that only those having
previously put in years of study
would buy their books. But my
recent questions, more than ever
within five years, beg that science
be made easy. AS a matter of
curiosity / here print five laws
without any attempt at explana-
ton.
Five of the Laws.
I. Light in passing from a rare
to a dense retroactive medium is
refracted toward the normal; and
in passing from a dense to a rare
medium is bent out of it's course
from the perpendicular. Every
telescope and microscope. every
lens is based on this law.
II. The set specific heat of any
chemical element is inversely
proportional to its atomic mass,
III. The sum of the products
of the resistance in ohms, and
current strength, In amperes, in
each OF several conductors is
equal TO the sum of all the cleo
tro- motive forces in the circuit,
in volts.
". AN planets in the solar sys-
tenn make circuit in ellipses, the
sun being in the common focus
of them all.
V. The differential of a varia-
Bile affected with an exponent is
the continued product of the ex-
ponent, the variable with Its ex-
ponent less l, and the differentisl
of the variable.
This is one wheel in the might
lest engine Of power In the pos
session OF man. And hundreds of
more classic beauties like these.
Now. all humans simply living
and moving and having their very
being immersed and absorbed in
these exquisitely fascinating laws
of the sidereal universe do not
want to fight, rob and waste their
short lives in senseless, brainless,
stupid and idiotic fashion and
frivolity. And sensible people by
hundreds are now seeing this
point.
q. Is there limit to the eye
sight?
A Yes; the eve can not see a
molecule, atom or electron.
q. Can telescope extend the
horizon of the eye?
A. No. the horizon is circle
on the earth's surface having the
eye for its center. Where sky

The Main Object.

The Main Object.
TT HE main object Of most hu-
man beings Is to avoid
death, and yet death Is the
only certain thing in life.
From the hour we draw the
first breath we are going forward
to meet death.
Instead of regarding death as a
foe, would 1t not be more sensible
to think of it as a friend?
One who comes to take us on q
delightful journey?
There are some advanced meta
physicians who talk and write
about the possibility of living
continually and perpetually in
this body George Francis Train
declared he should do so. He
believed he had overcome death.
He believed he had acquired the
life habit, and he meant to prove
that there was no need of chang
ing bodies.
But his body is now dust.
Life Would Pail.
Mary Baker Eddy and Helen
Wilu1ans and Wallace Wattles
and Eleanor Kirk all talked this
same philosophy; all believed
they had entered upon life eter-
nal in this body on this earth.
Yet all are gathered to their
fathers. All changed their
worlds"
All live, on other planes in
higher states of Consciousness.
No doubt all come near the old
scenes and influence those whose
minds are tuned in the same key,
at times.
Yet they have experienced that
change which we call death.
