WHAT WE ALL KNEW

Flammarion, the great scientist, is
convinced that the human soul sur
wives after the body die, as nine out
Of ten people already believed without
any scientific investigation.
Flammarion's excitement will re-
mind many good people of a boy rush
ing about announcing that there is a
moon.
The important thing is that Flam-
maron's "surc evidence" was accumu-
lated during 80 year. of research
along scientific lines, combined with
a study Of spiritualism.
Spiritualism is bridging the gap
that has excited for centuries be-
tween science and religion. Eventual
ly the two will he in the same camp
Spiritualism is slowly but steadily
making its way over to the side of
religion.

CHANGING STYLES

Frances Dolly teacher of scientific
housekeeping at Western Reserve
University. comments that most
stylns live only four year.
"Thc first year, the style is shown
at the most exclusive house. The
second year, it. is worn by the best
dressed group. In the third year it
is worn by everyone, and in the
fourth il continues popular with
some"
This is also true of thought. BY
the time progressives get their
ideas broadcast TO all, the ideas have
become obsolete, new styles of "re-
form" crowding them out
The last to see the light are the
conservatives. the "old fogies." They
are necessary, like the big block OF
iron at the end of a hitching strap
to keep the prancing reformers from
running away.

DO Small industries Pay?

American genius has showed that
mass production pays best. The more
you make Of a given commodity the
more chcaply it can be made. The
low prices on thousand and one ar
ticles one can buy in our variety or
racket or ive-and-ten-ccnt stores,
never ceases to be amazing. Only by
turning them out with machinery by
the hundred thousand or million, can
these low costs be maintained.
The manufacturer of these articles
in large factories can ship his raw
material from the ends of the earth,
then ship the finished product half
way around again, and still underscll
in his home town the worker who
laboriously turns out the same arti-
Gle by hand.
This has been clearly dcmonstrat-
ed in the case of large number of the
rummonest articles of household use.
But not for all. Some commodities
can be successfully manufactured on
Il small scale near the source of sup
ply of the raw material, and by small
groups Of workers.
Furthermore a small town can
concentrate on one manufacture and
maintain a factory large enough sue

GULF STREAM CHANGES

The climate Of England has been
changed by the construction Of a rail
road on the east coast Of Floriday ac-
cording to John Harrison, a British
scientist. who has been giving the
matter close study and investigation
for several years.
The course of the gulf stream has
been changed, writes Mr.. Harrison,

FLA. to Key West. Although some
portion Of thf railway is constructed
on piles, n great and increasing part
Of it consists of solid cmbankmcnt.
and the whole effect is TO narrow CON
siderably on its western side the
Florida Channel through which the
gulf stream flows, and thus at once
concentrate the warm water of that
stream and to give them somewhat
more castcrly course.
Mr.. Harrison says the center Of
she northern branch of the gulf
stream formerly struck the west coast
Of England while there is frost in
west coast Of Scotland, but now runs
south Of Ireland and straight up the
Englah and Bristol channels.
This, he argues, he accounts for the
