"Ether a Reality; Is Ma
teriaI but Is Not
Matter"

This last statement refers to
light, which Is supposed to con-
sist of wave motion in the ether.
Sir Oliver Lodge defends the
ether against those who would
deny its existence. He clings TO
it as offering the only hope of
proving that the principle of
continuity prevails in the uni
verse, for he admits that recent
discoveries tend to make every
thing appear to be discontinue
Gus, or made up of separate
parts, or particles, so far that,
carried to an extreme sense, ssit
seems as if even time would be-
come discontinuous and be sup
Piled in atoms, as money is doled
out in pence and centimes in
stead of continuously-in which
case our customary existence
will turn out to be no more
really continuous than the events

while that great agent of con-
tinuity, the ether of space, will
be relegated to the museum of
historical curiosities.'
Against this Sir Oliver Lodge
earnestly protests, with argu-
ments that can not be repeated
here. To his mind, the ether is
a reality, something which is
not matter, although it is ma
terial; something millions of

times denser than lead or plat

and matter moves through it
with perfect freedom.
Then come the peculiar views
which he holds concerning the
continuity of life, which here on
the earth is known to US only
through its effects upon matter.
To admit that the ether can not
be investigated by ordinary
methods is, he AYERS, "by no
means TO deny that it may have
mental and spiritual functions to
subserve in some other order of
existence as matter has in this"

May Attain Larger, Per-
haps Ethereal, Ex-
iStence"

"The evidence, to my mind,
goes to prove that discarnate in
telligence, under certain condi-
tions, may interact with us on
the material side, thus indirectly
coming within our scientific
ken, and that gradually we may
hope to attain some understand
ing of a larger, perhaps ethereal
existence, regulating intercourse
across the chasm. A body of
responsible investigators has
even now landed on the treach-
erous but promising shores of a
new continent"
Considering the acknowledged
standing and the known acquire
ments of Sir Oliver Lodge in the
world of science, these express
sions of his are worth a great
deal of thinking about.

Personality of Man Con-
tinues After Bodily
Death"

All that we can safely say" he
continues, is that we have no
means of detecting the existence
of nonplanetary, immaterial
dwellers, and that, unless they
have some link or bond with the
material, they must always be
physically beyond our ken. We
may, therefore, for practical pur-
poses, legitimately treat them as
nonexistent until such link is
discovered, but we should not
dogmatize about them
His own opinion about the ex-
istence of "nonplanetary, inn
material dwe1lers" in the space
around us is clearly expressed in

Little Rock, Dec Aside from be-
ing an alienist of national repute, DIR.
j. l.. Greene, superintendent of the
Arkansas Hospital for Nervous Dis
cases, is swina breeder, who has
made great success of the business.
When he took charge of the hos
pital, no efforts were made towal
raising stock as a side-l;ne and the
Stops and refuse from the great in
stitution were sold for $50 = month
Following the system that he had en-
ployed elsewhere, DR.. Greene secured
some pure-bred Berkshire hogs, and
established piggery that commands
the enthusiastic commentator of ev-
cry practical farmer who inspects it.
He raises only the purest strains of
hogs, and has to buy only limited
abount of feed for the sows when the
pigs are very young. All the Stops
are cooked in a special device for that
purpose, and disposed of daily, and
the records show that there is clear
profit to the institution of $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. The pork is consumed
by the institution.

Aristarchus was complaining that he
had no income to support the sisters and
nieces and cousins who had fed to his
home for refuge because of the disturbed
condition of the country
Socrates made the obvious suggestion
that the ladies go 10 work. Accordingly
Aristarehus provided the material and
they got busy spinning and weaving.
with exceedingly happy results,
Only one source of discord developed.
Life proved so easy under the circurn-

himself and the women complained that
