breaking and is very suefu' in this
form, and in places is even used for
window sin houses Mica is also used
in powdered form in various ways,
such as TO give sparkle to wall paper

Queer Of the United States. The de.
posits there were so large of such fine
grade that anything smaller than

big sheets began to be used up, how

There is an inclination gradually
rising from the pleasure OF seeing
anything killed To the most over
pewerlng desire to kill. Ii is possible
10 pass by imperceptble gradations
from the extreme ease 10 the normal
state in the following order: The
pleasure OF killing. the oyerpowering
desire to Kill, the pleasure OF seeing
the blood OF animals shed the plea
sure due TO the representation OF
violent and blood-thrsty melodrama.
and lastly, the pleasure OF reading
bloodthirsty novels or hearing ac-
counts of murders. which is purely
an affair of the Imagination. II there
Is one psychological law more firmly
established than another, both by
facts and argument il is that every
intense representation /. q. idea
all act tends 10 realize itself. How
is il that artists who feel things
violently never pass them into action2
Because the Law is in them subject
not to an exception. but to "deyia-
ton" by the creation of a work OF art,
which delivers them from the haunt
ing idea, Morbid art is thus defense
against abnormal tendencies which
otherwise would tend to transform
themselves into action. Man being
carnivorous animal retains the trend
OF idea that the blood-in his acts
OF necessity and amusement-is the
main thing-he must always be kill
ing something, and with many the
killing is the chief object Of life
