ed horror and absurdity
The extraordinary thing about all
these manias Is the small part that
reason has 20 play in controlling
them. The few sane men who have
resisted them have been prosecuted
while every charlatan who fostered
the craze was applauded and re-
warded. And not infrequently the
strongest minds Of the time were
carried away. Jean Bodin. the bril-
liant French publicist, by his zeal in
urging on the witch. hunt. earned
himself the name Of "Satan's attor-
ney general" Even the scientific
mind cannot always rise superior 10
10 its environment When Napier
the inventor OF logarithms. and
Newton, the discoverer Of gravita-
ton. wrote commentaries on the
Apocalypse, interpreting Its prop
hecies as pointing 10 a speedy end Of
the world in their own day. they
seemed perfectly sensible TO their
contemporaries. but every man now
must see that they were wrong, and
not only wrong but detraques.
The fact is that the atmosphere
OF delusion will spontaneously gem
crate its own proofs. When witch
craft was regarded as possible there
came forth an Overwhelming mass
OF evidence in favor of its reality;
confessions of old women who had
attended the witches Sabbath, tes-
timony Of eye-witnesses to broom
stick rides. all sorts of circumstan-
tial proof, enough 10 convince the
most merciful and rational judges.

Mr.. Bond was apprised Of the out
break and course of the war. some
time before It was declared. by an
old Abbot OF Glastonbury and by the
ghost OF Augustus Caeser. II is
somewhat remarkable that the pro-
phecies. which proved accurate 20
the very day IN the past. should ex-
tend just 70 the date of the books
publication and not inform US of
what Will happen in 1920. Miss
Cameron also had the advantage OF
getting a moral judgment or world
issues from the realm Of spirits.
Like everything else that has trans
pired from the beyond, the ethics
Of the dead seem to border on
idiocy. Such books are Important,
not for what they contain, but as
symptoms OF the present dangerous
malady Of the peoples minds. II
takes no Glandower TO call spirits
from the Vastly deep: nowadays
such spirits are on tap IN everyone's
cellar. And II we believed IN pro-
hfbition we might say that what is
needed is probably another prohibi-
ton campaign.

LITERARY NOTES

and St Columbian esteemed the res
direction OF the dead no uncommon
event, whereas miraculous cures.
speakir. images. and the gift Of
tongue ere everyday happenings.
II the reality OF the supernatural
were a matter 70 BE decided BY
weight of testimony. it has been
proved not once but a thousand
times.
But what vitiates all this evidence
is me simple fact that once men be
come skeptical Of any particular
form OF the supernatural it no long
er occurs. When thinking became
clear enough TO show that nature
operated by constant laws. the dead
no longer rose. When men came 10
think il absurd that an old bag
should sell her immortal soul for
the privilege of making her neigh
bors' cows go dry, witches no long
er had power 20 hurt. In short, the
visions of the outre were like mir
ages in the desert; the atmosphere
Of credulity itself created them.
From this point of view # is easy
TO understand the etiOlOgy Of the
prevalent mania OF "psychical re-
search" Like the influenza il is a
part Of the aftermath OF war. The
emotions have been Overstimulated,
the imagination jaded, the resist
ance of reason broken down. and as
a consequence men see ghosts. That
some eminent scientists have seen
them proves no more than their
vision OF mirage in the desert or of
delirium in fever would prove. If,
as DR.. HyslOp assures us. most in
vestigators have come to the con-
clusion that spirits of the dead
speak. that only shows what type of
mind is drawn TO this subject and
70 what powerful Influences the man
is exposed afterward.
For if you can determine the con
ditions OF experiment and can select
your data, you can prove anything.

Like Steel, Yet Light.

A metal lighter than any yet known,
and as strong as or stronger than steel
has for years been the dream Of many,
ana every now and then rumors are
circulated to the effect that at last it
has been discovered. The advantages
which such Il metal would have, espe.
cially for aircraft. are obvious, but un.
fortunately it is generally found on in
vestigation that there is ''snag" some.
where. The latest report to be circu.
lated relates to new magnesium al
10y. said to have been discovered by a
metal company of Montreal, Canada
The new alloy, II is stated. is only
twO-thirds the weight of aluminium and
is "as strong as steel" II is said to be
especially suitable for pistons and con.
meeting rods of aero and motorcar en-.
gines. 1t is to be hoped that some OF
the qualities attributed to the new
alloy may, on closer examination. be
substantiated.
