JULIUS CAESAR
MAY HELP RULE
MODERN WORLD
So Says Spiritualist
Who Claims Con
uerse With Him

New York, Juno 24.-(United
Press. Through the medium Of
spiritualistic control the world will
soon be ruled by the greatest minds
of all times, dating back to the be-
ginning Of lisory, according TO
Frederick W. Constantine. Of Buf-
falo, N. Y.
Constantine is secretary Of the
general assembly Of spiritualists Of
the state Of New York, which open
ed its annual convention here to-
day.
An WIN Become Mediums.
Such rapid progress has been
made in the last year in spiritual
istic communication that It ia only
a matter of comparatively short
time when practically the entire
population Of the earth will be
mediumistic, Constantine declared
in an interview.
As a result, he said, the world
will have the benefit of the consult
ing of such men as Abraham Lin
coin, George Washington, Napoleon
Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, Solomon
Robert Ingersoll and Theodore
Roosevelt.
When this comes to pass, accord.
ing to Constantine, there will be nc
more wars.
No more crime; no more power.
ty; and We will have reached 4
stage comparable to the millen
ium.
''Of course, such great men as
have named are in constant com
munication with mortals but onl.
a limited extent at this time," Con
stantine said.
Talk 70 Lincoln Iost.
Lincoln Is perhaps In touch Wit
more mediums than any other grea
men. owing to his wonderful spirit
uality.
| 'Spirdtualism has made grea,
strides. Little more than a centur,
ago We would have been burned a
the stake. The world war CAV,
the movement great impetu
through the desire Of hundreds o
thousands to communicate witt
those they love. In the last yea
lour membership has doubled.
The worlds mortal population
amounts to a few millions. Its spif
itual population is thousands O
millions. This overwhelming spir
iitual force from the other side viii
eventually have its effect.
In time our kings and presi
dents, our parliaments and con
gresses, our business and CONNER
cial Organizations will be com
pletely dominated by the grea
minds that have gone BEFORE"

So Admiral Sims will in q few

It is like thu koala in some respects, but
not mucl like q bear. The wombat is
small, heavy, and short-nmbed, with
front teeth like those Of a rat. Like most
marsupials it sleeps in the day, coming
out al night to feed. It lives under the
ground, as It is a burrowing as well as
gnawing animal, tts feet being fur
nished with long and powerful claws.
Its food consists Of grass, other herbag &c
and roots.
Australians bandicoots are like bushrats,
from nine to sixteen inches long, plus
tapering tail They inhabit wooded
places. living in nests Of grass which
look Ike heaps OF rubbish, and feeding
at night on leaves. fruit, mice, insects,
etc.
There are few animals that cannot be
tanned, but the Tasmanian devil is one
of them. This ugly beast Of prey, now
almost exterminated. is black and shay

THE PLATYPUS ONE OF
MANY STRANGE FORMS.


Among the many strange forms Of wild
life in Australia. the platypus is surely
the paradox, because 1t has the fur Of
seal, feet that are as much Fms, or flap
ers, as cisws-though 1t can burrOW
pretty cleverly with them-and the oil
of a duck. Hunting and feeding In the
water, it sleeps out of 1t IN q burrow,
the opening Of which is beneath the
water line, though always extending up.
ward SO that the nest at the end, well
above water mark, is always snug and
dry. There this strange mixture OF
beast and bird and fish Lays a curious
round egg with a white parchment-like
lanRe attached, from which it's young is
hatched and suchled In much the same
way as other animals.
The platypus feeds only by night,
pudding the soft banks and weed beds
for marine life in exactly the same way
as a duck fossicks in the mud OF pond.
In the early morning or evening It floats
pLaeidly on the surface. 20 disappear with
a sudden splash on the least alarm. for
though It has no external ears il has a
very fine sense OF hearing. The under

in the platypus some hitherto unknown
glands, and on a native reservation near
Melbourne the strange creatures are be

SHOPLTFTER TO

TERN IN PRISON
Detectives Recover $500 Worth
of Stolen Goods in
House.

Handsomely dressed wearing a white
long fringe at the bottom, long seal
scarf over her shoulders. fancy white
hose and o1fords, Mrs. Rose Brilliant,
IS, 1916 North Rural street, appeared in
city court yesterday afternoon before
Judge Walter Pritchard and pleaded
guilty to a charge of petit larceny. Her
appearance aided her not In the least
for Nfter the court heard brief state
ment Of facts she was fined 81 and costs
and sentenced to six months in the
woman's prison.
The case had been scheduled to be
heard Aug. %, following her arrest last
Saturday by operatives Of the Quigley-
Hyland detective agency, but Ralph
Span. attorney for Mrs. Brilliant, asked
that the case be tried at once.
The sentencing Of Mrs. Brilliant to the
long prison term is the result Of two
year search FOR her, detectives say. They
assert she is the cleverest shopufter they
ever have dealt with They say she has
carried on a series Of thefts In down
town department stores for more than
two years and has been arrested only
once. In December. 1919
The system used by Mrs. Brilliant had
been so planned that it was almost i'm
possible for detectives 10 fasten the evil
dence on her until, by accident, last
Saturday she had a large purchase" de-
livered next door to a woman operative
Of the detective agency and the woman
detective was standing near when she
gave n name that she knew was fictitious.
Her system was TO select numerous
articles of merchandise, always Of the
finest quality, and have them charged or
delivered C. 0. d. to some address north
and always in the 1900 block. While the
clerk was making out his sale slip she
would take any article she desired and
leave.
when Mrs Brilliant was arrested. the
detectives allege she wore a pair Of shoes
which she had purchased at a department
store and in payment gave n check using
the name Of D. r. Wellhart In her
homo. the detectives have recovered about
$500 worth Of merchandise identified BY
clerks OF various department stores as
having been stolen. The detectives as
sert Mrs Brilliant has stolen merchandise
in the last two years OF more that viii
amount 10 possibly 5000 or more
II was learned Mrs. Brilliant has been
separated from her husband, Delbert r
Brilliant, who is believed to be in Port
land.

ing artidciaIly brod for further research
in a matter Of much interest to the medi-
cal profession.
The plstypus and the spiuy aut-eater
OF Australia are the two surviving
mem bers OF the monotremes, which is
a scientific name Of the lowest order Of
tho mammals, or animals that suckle
their young. Like the platypus, the
spiny ant-eater lays eggs which are
Latched in a pouch, where the young
are raised on the mothers milk The
body or the spiny aut-eater is small, is
10 Is inches. IS long aud broad and IS
carried by short, strong legs terminal
ing IN big claws. The head is small and
the nose is prolonged into a slender
snout covered with a moist black mem
brane like dogs nose. The mouth is
without teeth, but the palate is studded
with small curved spines and the tongue
IS slender.
Instead OF a molelike fur. the spiny
nnt-eater has the upper surface Of the
head and body covered with a mixture
Of short hairs and stiff spiues. When
dsnger threatens the animal curls up
like a hedgehog II lives In burrows
and feeds on ants. catching them IN the
same way as ordinary Rnt-eaters. When
the ants are collected on IT'S sticky
tongue they are quickly drawn into the
mouth and swallowed.
