How to Go VISITING in DREAMS.

THAT a person can visit distant
friends in dream and see what
they are doing, II one only Wills
to do so, is the statement OF an Eng
lish experimenter in the mystery Of
dreams. It is apparently kind OF
dream" telepathy, because to carry
1t out successfully both parties must
be willing to receive or to transmit
the message. Curiously enough who
is to be the transmitter and who is
to be the receiver can only be decid.
ed when the experiment is carried
out. The following is an example of
this strange means of communication
which was carried out as an expert.
ment.
The experlmenters were a lady and
gentleman. They were friends, but
not in any way related, nor were they
lovers. The man lived in London
and was bachelor; the lady in Liv'
erpocl. They mutually agreed that
on a certain night. at given hour,
they would try to see In sleep what
the other was doing and what were
the surroundings Of each. The man
went to sleep in London, as usual,
and dreamed not at all, although try.

Wonder STORY Of the Russian STURGEON

attain weight OF about three tons.
This is the fish which forms the
staple OF the sturgeon fisheries of
Russia, though the common sturgeon
and the still more highly priced ster-
let, play a very important part in
such fisheries. The largest and most
carefully organized of these fisheries
is that at Rubinsk, on the Volga,
where, on the breaking-up of the ice,
as many as 100000 people collect to
await the arrival of their victims.
Notice is given of this from an out
look on height, and as soon as the
approach of q shoal is announced
nets are spread across the stream
and spears and gaffs are seized in
eager anticipation of the strenuous
work about to begin. The task of
landing such fish Is difficult, for,
though specimens Of the maximum
weight are rare, the spear may well
be thrust into a monster weighing
ton. Thousands of sturgeonhave been
landed in a single day.
