TELEPATHY IS WIDESPREAD
Instances Frequently indicate a Trans
mission of Thought, Says One
Who Should Know.

Are we all mind readers? Can any
business or professional man, with
proper development, become an ac-
compltshed psychic, receiving and
transmitting ideas without the use of
medium so gross as the spoken
word? Recent experiments in the
Charcot institute in France, and In
the psychiatric clinic of the Johns
Hopkins hospital in Baltimore would
seem to lead to this belief, and Nor
man R. Prescott states his belief that
this is true.
There is not man or woman alive
today" said Prescott recently, who
has not been at some time or another
the receiver or 'transmitter' in a tele-
pathic experiment. At times. 1t may
have been wholly unconscious: at 9TH
ers 1t may have been dimly guessed:
then again, ii may have been thorough
ly appreciated, but attributed to that
very convenient old invention, the law
of coincidence. One is talking to a
- ithug HCi h'Hos iip nboP9 aho WhUl
his friend replies, he realizes that he
knew before just what his friend was
going to say, and the exact language
in which he would clothe his ideas.
All of us have felt that, day after day,
many, many times.
THAT is telepathy; the transmission
of thought through ether without phys
ical aid. The more you study this
wonderful science, the more you will
be impressed with the fact that, for
its success, 1t depends largely on two
minds being closely attuned; there
must be absolute harmony If there is
to be success. Such instances as I
have mentioned little before are
found in their greatest frequency, be-
tween husband and wife. And this la
natural because of all persons In the
world husbands and wives are most
closely associated and bound by the
closest, dearest, most binding ties.
Two minds with but a single thought;
two hearts that beat as one, really ex-
presses the idea perfectly. II is, l.
might say, the philosophy of telepathy
crystallized in an epigram."

HARD MATTER TO ARRANGE
Question of Disarmament, Following
War, VIII Test the Mettle Of
Diplomats.

Whenever talk of the re-establish.
ment of peace after the present war
comes up disarmament or the reduce
tion Of ornaments Is sure to be an irn-
portant issue. Just how the nations
shall effect a program of disarma-
ment is vexed question. The En-
cyclopeda Britannica cites as the
only existing case of contractural re-
duction OF ornaments" the disarma-
ment agreement of the 28th Of May,
1902, between Chilean and Argentine
republics BY this agreement the two
governments arranged to reduce their
fleets according to an arrangement
establishing a reasonable proportion
between the two fleets. and respective
ly promised not to increase their mari
time ornaments during five years. un-
less the one who shall wish to In
crease them shall give the other IS
months notice in advance"
The Britannica authority points out
that an agreement of this kind Is more
feasible among states whose navies
are small, because in the case Of large
navies it would be difficult to agree
on a principle for assessment of the
proportionate fighting yalue Of the re-
spective fleets. Even comparatively
slight differences in the ages Of ships
may make great difference In their
fighting value.

fitted the arrow to the bow, and slow

he never removed his eyes from the

as quietly as the boy For a few
seconds this mutual scrutinizing went
on then, the bear betraying a growing
irritability, the boy, with a movement
of his head, indicated that the old
man must step aside from the trail
and go down the embankment. The
boy followed, going backward, still
holding the bow taut and ready They
waited, till a crashing among the
bushes from the opposite side of the
embankment told them that the bear

CHAPTER |.
Granser and the Boys.

The way led along what had once
been the embankment of railroad
But no train had run upon it for many
years. The forest on either side
swelled up the slopes of the embank-
ment and crested across it in a green
wave of trees and bushes The trail
was as narrow as mans body, and
was no more than a wild-animal run.
way. Occasionally, a piece Of rusty
iron, showing through the forest mold,
advertised that the rail and the ties
still remained In one place ten
inch tree, bursting through at con
nection, had lifted the end Of rail
clearly into view. The tie had evident
ly followed the rail, held to it by the
spike long enough for its bed to be
filled with gravel and rotten leaves,
SO that now the crumbling, rotten
timber thrust itself up at curious
slant. Old as the road was, it was
manifest that it had been of the mono
rail type.
An old man and boy travelled along
this runway. They moved slowly, for
the old man was very old, touch
OF palsy made his movements tremu-
lous. and he leaned heavily upon his
staff. A rude skullcap of goatskin
protected his head from the sun From
beneath this fell a scant fringe Of
stained and dirty-white hair. A visor.
ingeniously made from a large leaf,
shielded his eyes, and from under this
he peered at the way OF his feet
on the trail His beard, which should
be snow-white, but which showed the
same weather wear and camp stain
as his hair, fell nearly to his waist
In a great tangled mass. His arms
and legs, withered and skinny, be-
tokened extreme age, as well as did
their sunburn and scars and scratches
betoken long years of exposure to the
elements.
The boy, who led the way, checking
the eagerness of his muscles to the
slow progress of the elder, likewise
wore single garment-a ragged-edged
piece of bearskin, with a hole In the
middle through which he had thrust
his head. He could not have been
more than twelve years old. Tucked
coquettishly over one ear was the
freshly covered tail of pig. In one
hand he carried a medium-sized bow
and arrow. On his back was a culver
full of arrows From a sheath hang
ing about his neck on a thong pro-
jected the battered handle of hunt
ing knife. He was as brown as a
berry and walked softly, with almost
a catlike tread In marked contrast
with his sunburned skin were his
eyes-blue, deep blue, but keen and
sharp as a pair Of gimlets They
seemed to bore into all about him in
a way that was habitual. AS he went
along he smelled things, as well, his
distended, quivering nostrils carrying
to his brain an endless series of mes.
sages from the outside world Also,
his hearing was acute, and had been
go trained that it operated automat.
ically.
Suddenly he became alertly tense.
Sound, sight, and odor had given him
a simultaneous warning. His hand
went back to the old man, touching
him, and the pair stood still. Ahead,
at one side of the top of the embank-
ment, arose a cracking sound, and the
boys gaze was fixed on the tops of the
ritated bushes. Then large bear
grizzly, crashed into view, and like
