surface, the inventor claims that the
cells of ink intermixed with the wax
md pumice stone will also be liber-
ated, giving uniform supply of ink.
The device is made by mixing the
wax, pumice stone and ink together.
When it is heated to the proper tenn
perature it is suddenly immersed in
cold water. This chills and solidifles
the wax mixture, producing a body
having a cellular structure, each cell
being filed with ink.

LtQht and Thought.

Not all thought is travelling. The
bupposition that when one thinks Of
the moon ones thought travels to the
moon is a mistake, for the thought is
formed in the mind and remains there.
The time taken to ''think of anything"
declares a writer, occupies some
small fraction Of a second. Light
travels" at the rate Of about 10000
miles a second, and If it is thought
which travels in what Is called tele-
pathy it would have to travel at the
same speed because ether, the medium
which transmits light, would also
transmit the brain vibrations that &C.
company thought. The telepathic the
DRY Of Thought which travels has
been objected to on the ground that
after travelling considerable distances,
such as are sometimes claimed for
telepathic communication, the brain
vibrations would be so diffused and
weakened as to make no impression.
