Heredity and Insanity.

Heredity accounts for about fifty per cent. of the cases of insanity. This is encouraging It shows that the shocks and conditions of modern life do not make people insane; the stren- uous life merely brings out the insan- ity that is latent in some persons as a result of heredity. A noraml per son cannot be driven insane by any of the conditions of modern life.

TOO MUCH ATTENTION

According to the following clipping
from the woman's National Weekly
ministers should feel highly compli.
mented when members of their con
sregation go to sleep.
DO you know. why sermons make
YOU sleepy? Because you hypnotic
yourself, says German professor.
Have you ever wondered why it is
that you do get sleepy in church,
that you sometimes think you are
going straight off into Rip Van
Winkle slumber? II is because you
are too attentive.
II isn't because the air is bad
the sermon stupid or anything of the
kind. The more faithful and zeal.
Gus you are the sleepier you can
get. The reason is that you gaze
too hard at the preacher and hyp.
notize yourself You are so attentive
that you get yourself in an unnatural
state and then suddenly you find
that you are hopelessly sleepy and
cannot remember what you have
heard.
'ln the early part Of the service" :"
the professor says, there is vari'
ETY. Of singing, reading and so fort
but the sermon itself is utterly
nnbroken. Your head and body are
in one position, your ears are fastei
ed on one point, all conditions per
fcctly favorable for self hypnotism."

FISSURES 30 FEET WIDE
IN CALIFORNIA VOLCANO

Redding, Cal, June 2.-Mount Las
sen is in eruption.
A forest ranger who investigated
the cause of clouds of steam and
smoke seen issuing from the noun
tain at o'clock Saturday afternoon
reported to his superiors today that
new crater has broken from the
disk cf the mountain, and that vol
canic ashes, mud and sand cover the
ground for an area of 800 feet around
the opening.
The forest ranger said he had
found an parture 80 feet wide and
20 feet long, with lateral fissures run.
ming in all directions, and that !;
cloud of steam and smoke hung above
the spot. Boulders< of varying size,
some of them measuring 80 inches
in diameter, had been thrown up by
the eruption, he said, and ashes were
on the ground as far away from the
crater as three miles.
Reports reaching the forest super
visor today were that greater cloud
than ever is hanging over the noun
tain. As far away as Redding and
Red Bluff, however, the air is clear
and heavy with the balminess of sum-
mer.
1t was the theory here at first re-
port of the steam and smoke issuing
from the mountain that it had been
caused by a snowslide having plunged
into the hot springs at Bumpass He'll
Hole. This the foresters brand as
untrue.
Bumpass He'll Hole is on the south
ern slope of the mountain, far from
the summit, where the new crater is
reported to be on the north slope, a
mile from the main crater, which has
remained dormant for a century or
more.
