The Age of Machinery.

According to New England poet
and philosopher the trouble with the
world of today is that it hasn't yet
learned how to use its machinery, and
so is putting the best of it to use de-
stroying valuable human lives.
This is the age ef machinery par ex-
cellence. Every day sees a new ma
chine invented, or an old one improved
or perfected. The English poet, John
Cowper Powys, declares that he is tired
of hearing about mechanical progress;
that the endless invention of new ma
chimes to make living easier by making
life more complex, more artificial and
less genuine causes him to doubt the
value of the mechanical perfection to
which cur age is directed.
And in this connection curious
thing is reported from the Attic region,
where it is stated that the Esquimaux
with their bows and arrows and simple
weapons are able to destroy just about
the number of caribou and seals that
are born each year; so that explorers
are saying they hope nobody will intro
duce better machinery among them,
for they will kill too many of these
animals and so after a few years be
unable to live.
Admiral Peary says the same thing
of the Esquimaux Of Northern Green
land. II he kills more than he can
consume, he will have skins to sell, the
traders will come north to buy them,
exchanging for them complex articles
of civilization that the Esquimaux do
not know about or need.
1t would seem that the end and aim
of machinery and its sole aim must be
to cheaper living, but what we all
know is that living grows more expen-
sive and difficult. This, to be sure, is
because the increase of machinery in
PRODUCES constantly more things, and
the average well to individual or family
thinks he must have them all. Thus
his life is cluttered up with new-dis-
covered necessities" and has become
so complex that in trying to anaiyze it
and discover what its real meaning is
he gives it up as toe many for him.
Does all this throw light on the in
crease by 1O8 per cent IN cases of in
sanity in the last decade or more? Can
there be any doubt it7 The more COM
plicated life becomes. the greater the
number of things that clutter it 1p but
that must be possessed, the ivelier the
social competition, the faster the pace,
the greater the number who. unable to
keep up with It, must succumb. This
is one of the explanations of increasing
insanity. increasing feebie-Eindedness
and the atrocities committed by the

From the Shades

The writer Is not believer IN
dreams nor any species of necroman-
cy, but the experience of a friend
who related a dream to me seems
uncanny to say the least. 1t was
Christmas night after day of feast
ing and good cheer, when this weird
and fantastic chimera of his brain
came to him He had retired rather
early and ne dreamed that he was
sailing through space far beyond the
bounds of this mundane sphere, when
all at once he discovered that he
was not alone, but was being accom-
panied by a shadowy being who
seemed well acquainted with their
surroundings. They had been in COM
pany for some time when the shadow
pointed to 2 great shining light which
seemingly was just beyond the hori-
zon. Its brilliancy and beauty were
indescribable. That, he said, was
where the righteous dwell after
death Then he pointed to another
place that looked like volcano, out
of which was issuing a dense cloud
of black smoke. That place he said
was ''hades" commonly called hell,
which IS populated with evil spirits
souls of men and women from
earth whose sins were so grievious
that they had been banished to eter-
nal punishment. The shadow then
asked, Would you like to take look
at the sufferings of those unfortun-
ates?"
81 finally consented" said my
friend, land in a short time we ar
I rived at Hades. The shadow, who
seemed to be familiar with the man
ner of ingress to his Satanic Majesty's
abode, knocked at the door, when an
attendant came and asked what was
wanted. Ny companion answered;
Here is pilgrim from earth who
wishes to see what is doing in here.
| We were invited in and the first
thing that met our gaze was LOT
| of what had been jewellers of the
earth-there seemed to be millions
/ of them-writhing in a lake of fire
Who are those people and what are
they being punished for?' 1 asked.
The shadow They are people
from every country of earth who arr
being punished for all sorts of sins
But those, said the shadow, pointing
to the hottest part of the seethinl
cauldron, are the gossips and scan
dial mongers who, while on earth
were eternally stirring up trouble
| If the gossip was a woman and sh
| became in possession of a choice bi
of scandal she hurried from house Il
| house or TO some woman's sewing
club or society, told it with grea
gusto and it spread like a contageou
disease and perhaps some youni
woman's reputation was forever III
med and her life blasted. No pun
ishment is too severe for such people
Who is that Economical lookin
party, who is continually stirring u
and prodding those poor wretche
with a red-hot pitchfork?

that it was only a dream, but il
