A friend of ours named Hatfield has
asked us to get behind a movement to
build a broad stone highway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and we have
promised to get behind it-just as far
behind it as possible. Hatfield plans
to build this road and then dig a nice
pleasant canal alongside of it all the
way for water traffic. We believe the
canal feature of it would be a good
thing. Many people have long wanted
to journey from New York<or way

get tired of walking on Hatfield's road,
they can swim awhile along in the
canal. Thus diversion would add spice
to the trip.

In scientific discussion of this sub
tributcd TO the subconscious mind. We
admit the wonderful possibilities of the
subconscious mind. It is admitted that
Il well trained subconscious mind can
become our intelligent adviser, and that
through it we make our important de-
cisions, write our poetry and paint our
great works of art. The subconscious
mind is the receptacle of all informa-
tion known to man.
But it is through the subconsclous
mind that we communicate with the de-
parted. II Is on the plane of the sub
conscious mind that the living and the
departed meet. and in order for such
communication to take place the sub
conscious mind of the departed must ex =
list, which is evidence of continued ex-
iStence and consciousness.
Experiences of this character are or :
derly and IN harmony with rational
conscious mcntation. In this they diff
fer from dreams, in which the subcon-
scious mind plays part, but is uncon-
trollcd.
There is also n superconscious mind,
of which much less is known scientific
ally" but this takes MS into n higher
realm and must not necessarily be con
sdered in discussing this subject. In
communicating with the departed they
are met as equals and not generally
on higher level, and it is to be hoped
not on lower one.
The question under discussion here
is whether or not the human mind can,
after person has departed, probably
years ago, bring up Il perfect picture
of such person, and with it all evil

FEARED ATTACK ON VICER0Y

Dublin. Dec. 10.--DctailS Of Sun
days shooting atfray near the vicrrcgal
lodge in phocniX Park were given to-
day at the inquest over the body of
Lieutenant Boast. an officer of the
guard who was killed nt the same time
that Il civilian found in the park was
shot. The firing led to the belief in
some quarters last night that an attack
was being made against the lodge, the
residence of Lord French, the viceroy,
whose life was attempted last week.
Evidence given at the inquest by two
soldiers of the guard showed that at 3
O'Clock on Sunday morning they. with
Lieutenant Boast, left the vicercgal
lodge and went ON patrol down the
road where they saw man crossing
the grass. When they challenged the
man he refused tu reply and they
rushed him. Shots were fired and the
lieutenant collapsed.

testified. fired at the civilian. who fell.

The Subconscious Mind

Sir--If future life could now be
proven to the satisfaction of all con
ccrnCd, some progress would have. been
made before. 1t il difficult subject.
and there are no new methods being
brought forward now to prove the claim.
The only new situation is II revived
public interest. When the people as n
whole become interested in a subject,
something more or less decisive is usu-
ally the result.
A majority of the people are not
liable to discard the belief in a future
life. In order to do this it would be
necessary to discard all religious teach e
ing and attribute the experiences here
discussed To mere antics of the mind,
pure. if not simple. Scientists too often
assume the position that whenever they
cannot prove proposition it is their
duty to prove that it is not true. This
is assuming an unnecessary response
