Old World Just Learning
of Dynamite as Aid to
Filling the Soil.

We on this side of the ocean
have known for some time that
this is an excellent method of
breaking up hard soil and max
ing worn-out land astonishingly
fertile. and now they are learn
ing the truth in the Old World.
They have set about 1t very
Systematically in Switzerland,
under the lead of the Federal
Department of Agricultural
Chemistry, and they have OBJ
tanned results which fill them
with enthusiasm. The cultiva-
ton of fruit trees has been their
first care. and they are delighted
TO find that this Yankee notion
of shaking the earth awake
works like charm. Trees
planted in soil prepared by
dynamite explosions grow faster
and produce much moro fruit
than those standing on land cul-
tivated in the old way.
The explanation Is plain and
easy. The fertility Of the soil
which is mostly nothing but dis
iniegrated rock worn and rest
ing upon the hard skull Of the
esrth-depends upon certain

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
depth of about 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. II Is filled with
riches only few feet down.

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
greater depth of soil, filled with
nourishins 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 a fresh store of
plant food into use. Then, too,
it has been shown that the
greater degree Of fineness to
which the explosions reduce the
particles of earth is an irnpor-
tant matter. since ii results in
the freeing of chemical ele-
ments, even from soil that Is re-
garded as worn out, that the
usual methods of cultivation do
not reach.

1000 years. We have not even
touched the hem of the garment
of the stupendous Vedanta and

Ten years ago, I published Sc
ries on Vedanta, Sampkhya and
the Vedic theorems. The very an

real mentalists of the ancient
Asiatic world, wiled away more
than 1000 years, maybe 5000,
along the banks of the Ganges,
Jumma and Indus, in supernal
heights of abstract thought. None
since has been able to add to this
height OF refined mentation. They

THE may be couded yet sun
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 afar.
1t came from the Source, to the Source it returns
The spark that lighted eternay burns
1t slept in the jewel it eaped in the wave
1t roamed in the forest it rose from the grave:
1t took on strange CARDS for long cons of years.
And now in the soul of yourself it appears
From body to body your spirit speeds on;
1t seeks new form when the old one is gone
And the form that it finds is the fabric you wrought
On the loom of the mind, with the fiber of thought
As dew is drawn upward in rain to descend,
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend
You can not escape them; petty, great,
Or evil, noble, they fashion your fate
Somewhere some 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 live in alone
From cycle cycle, through time through space
Your lives with your longngs will keep pace
And all that you ask for and all you desire,
Must come at your bidding flames of fire.
You your devil, you are your own god
You fashioned the paths that footsteps have
And no you from sin
Until you shall bark to the spirit within
Once list to that voice and all tumut 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.

these elements are soon eX-

crop rapidly succeeds crop, and
thus constant manuring is re-

is often an accumulation of val

roots of plants cannot attain.

COSmiC Consciousness
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

n OUR requests in one day
that / 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 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

ton and of how to differentiate
and integrate had not been an

supremely 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
writers using the term "cosmic
consciousness" are aware that
they are merely terminating very
ancient Aryan pre-Hindu thought.

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-
gion, 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 thai
they were helped by some vas
external mind. They thought It to
be impossible of themselves to
send mind messages to great dis
tances and receive from theii
friends at distance. Then they
advanced the theory that there
Is 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 left q heavy
object suspended in the air al
times thought that his mind die
not cause the cessation of gravi-
tation; but that cosmic nina
really caused the humiliation OF
attraction.
