T~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
penalties to meet similar offenses
in the future.
1t 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 jury. in the courts interpre-
tation 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-
zens have grown up and out of
this ancient reconsideration OF
women to stamp our public rat
ing of this affair with new NOR
al force.
Any obloquy resting upon US as
a community in which such
things can happen has been more

ly understood, to embrace all tho
social and personal relations and
obligations that arise out of low
ing.
One of the first things a writer
Of fiction learns is the extraor~
binary ignorance OF the majority
of people of human exigencies
outside of their own experience
For this reason alone the Ole
way of leaving instruction in the
important issues of life to the
parents has not proved satisfac~
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 go
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 a great
deal on the young generauona
1t behooves US as a business pee
pie to spend a little more time
and consideration to prevent them
making a f1asco of their lives, az
in the present instance. For that
is the outcome OF the whole af-
fair.
These young men, because Of 8
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
one yet knows what Ia to be the
practical outcome of this case N
its effect upon otherA ------.~=<

I would not lure confiding souls

than counterbalanced by the spiE-
it IN which it has been met.
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 insuff1ciency
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 andsas widely
known as the consequences of in
lection. The knowledge which
these young people had did not
penetrate to or affect their love
life. Here society must hold it
self somewhat to blame.
There is knowledge enough in
the world as to the nature of the
responsibilities that are tied up
with loving and the ever-reach-
ing effects Of the wrong love re-
lation to safeguard all the young
people of the world If we could
only get it to them. And II is
our duty to get IT to them. They
have a right TO instruction in
the proper conduct of their love
life as to knowledge of physics
and geometry.

The Laws of Nature

n MOST notable event oc-
~ Cured the other day, one
that filed me with start

seven requests to explain the
Laws of Nature. These are the
most gratifying letters | ever have

others, have thought that in the
busy modern world of mad rush

Here is my own opinion from
constant contact with people from
every nation In the world during
thirty-fo four years in an astronom-
ical observatory. One person in
each one thousand of the entire
race human has ever heard of a
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 l have
published perhaps twenty of these
laws when writing the long Sc
ries on Radiant Energy, and the
other series on Electricity. Three
Laws of Mind have also appeared.
There are several hundred ex-

proven in every detail.

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
in print. Costly books must be
purchased Then, when the
precious books are opened, the
unprepared reader is at once filled
with chagrin. discontinue and
dismay. The explanations OF the
Laws are IN symbols and language

Five of the Laws,

I. Light in passing from rare
to dense retroactive medium is
refracted toward the normal; and
in passing from a dense to a rare
medium is bent out of its 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,
Ill. 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.

bic affected with an exponent is
the continued product of the ex-
ponent, the variable with its ex-
ponent less /, and the differential
of the variable.
This is one wheei 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,

trivolity. And sensible people by
hundreds are now seeing this
point.

The Main Object.

tn HE main object of most hui
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
foe, would it not be more sensible
to think of it as a friend?
One who comes to- take US on a
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.

hinder the seeing in all telescopes.
- III fact, no good view of any
cosmic body can be had while it
is within several degrees of the
holIzon. But in free space the
telescope greatly extends the
power of vision, but not the hori-
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 supremacy magnifi-
cent laws of the sidereal universe,
History reveals that many have
suffered in the cold for want of
sufficient clothing, since no heat

a telescope. And number have

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 cues
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 lifters are I'M
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-
init this, as they are partially
self hallucinated in the belief
that the body of the person will
rise. And If they really succeed
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.

Life Would Pail.

Mary Baker Eddy and Helen
Wilmans and Wallace Wattles

they had entered upon life eter-

Yet all are gathered to their

All live, on other planes in

No doubt all come near the old
