wvrrE accept without question the new
M facts which science is constantly dis
w covering about ultra microscopic
plants and animals and ultraviolet rays,
neither of which comes within the ken of the
living eye. Indeed, there so many things
that man knows of indirectly without seeing
that he is no longer startled at radum, helium
or thorium emanatons, or at the fact that he
can harness the invisible wireless waves to do
his will.
Here is a still more unrealizable reality in
the physical world which 1t seems, in
these advanced times, impossible ever to con
firm or dispute. Dr. Gardiner Bassett, of the
department OF experimental psychology at Johns
Hopkins University, says he can see no earthly
or unearthly reason why the spheres of high
heaven visible to us as stars and worlds may
not be only as so many grains of sand to some

Certainly there are no scientific experiments to
dispute the idea
Such view this, to which it seems alto
gether reasonable for science to subscribe, has
nothing whatever to do with the occult or any
thing supernatural. These supraseeable giants
or Herculeses more gigantic than our visible uni
verse, are not a matter of ghosts, spirits, divin
ties, supernatural things or supermen. They
are living beings, just physical as wireless
waves or X-rays.
Microbes, ants, beetles. dragon1ies, frogs and
fish may be as unconscious of the presence of
mankind as humanity is of these greater crea-
lures. Human consciousness is necessarily

r TAVE you ever experienced the
sensation of being stared at
L l. from behind and turned your
head suddenly to find that some one
really was gazing at you? Such an
experience is common to most of us,
and psychologists have offered many
different explanations of why this
should be so.
Several students maintain that we
all of us possess the vestiges of a
third eye" and that this makes us
able to feel the effect of fixed gaze
directed at the back of our neck. The
nerves in the back of our head, they
say, really feel that we are being
stared at. and when the impression
is telegraphed to the brain We are at
once filed with an irresistible i'm
pulse to turn around.
But Professor E. B. Tichener, the
eminent authority on experimental
psychology, denied that this was the
correct explanation. His theory was
that it was due to a natural anxiety
about how ones back looks, or moral
resistance, due to the dictates of
good breeding, to the natural impulse
to turn around and see if some one is

r ARD water is the name applied to water
Fl containing a considerable percentage of
lime salts. 1t is found in chalky, sandy
or gravelly districts and the more lime salts it
contains the harder it is considered.
There has long been widespread popular
belief that hard water is unhealthful to drink,
or at least not so healthful as soft water, which
contains no lime salts-or only a small per-
centage. But whatever ground this belief may
have had is taken from under it by some ex-
tended Investigations recently made by DR.. John
C. Thresh, medical officer for the county OF
Essex, England.
Dr. Thresh has compared the death rates for
periods of five years in districts where hard
water is used with those of districts where the
water is soft. He found difference in the

The Episcopal board came out little
more than, even by the expedient of
taking a small sum from reserve funds.

predicts it will have an equally good
year, and the Disciples of Christ foreign
society may run $4,000 ahead of last
year. or a total of $4,000.
While there has been no phenomenal in

show no slumps. Rather, there will be
reported the usual and normal increases.
The Disciples foreign society has re-
ceived a novel proposition from woman
of the far. west and has accepted 1t. 1t
is to build thirty churches in Tibet, on
condition that the society shall man and
maintain them. This means that this
