but until very recently IT has been
regarded a5 merely an instrument
Of the classroom. However, rapid
changes are now on the way, and
this greatest Of all subjects OF
study Is coming to its own as
topic for he common people.
Long, long ago we had the age
of fire, the age Of stone and the
like; and more recently we had
the age of invention and the age
of sciences. Now, for the next
quarter century we are to have, as

II there IS a practical psychology
OF health and happiness, of poise
and comeliness. Of success and
achievement-as an antidote OF a
psychology Of their opposites-no
one should have quite as great
concern about such matters as
parents. And we must know the
truth about the proposed practical
use Of the new science to tighten
our load as burden-beare for our
children.
Habits Of thought and habits Of
belief may repress an individual
80 that his best self may never
come to It's own, they say. Also
other habits of thought and belief
may serve as a tremendous spur to
action and achievement. II there
be any truth in these statements
and IL l am inclined to accept them
almost on their face value-then,
we must abandon our concern
about mere trifles Of materiality
and delve into the interesting
things of the soul.
What are the potentialities Of the
ordinary human mind at birth?
How should these unfold into reali-
ties? What mental forces are most
useful and should dominate the
others? What about the bogies of
fear, worry, envy, lust, as destroy
ers Of peace and happiness?
What about Joy, sympathy, rev.
erence, courage and will-power as
mental forces which make for
righteousness? Finally, how can
one learn to unlock and control the
subconscious mental forces and
make them the subservient to an
honest career7
All these questions are now OBJ
truding themselves before the pop
ular mind and the common people
are destined to wrestle more and
more earnestly with them till they
find a solution.
In the development and practical
use of the New Psychology" the
young, plastic mind will become by

when the energy, locked up In the

Your implied criticism of liquid air

The best way to tell whether
one horse can trot faster than an
other Is to try them out in an
actual race. But then various
circumstances may alter any par

one race is desirable. So, in the
case OF the thermometer in the
wind and in a calm atmosphere,
many circumstances might ren.
der the comparison untrustworthy.
The state Of the air as to hu-
midity would be important. A
thermometer covered with a film

Of increased evaporation. which
absorbs heat. This is the cause
of the cool fleeing produced by a
breeze. But thermometer will
show no change in passing from
calm air into a wind, II it is
perfectly dry, and II other cir.
cumstances are identical.
The wind has no cooling effect
except through the more rapid
evaporation that II induces. A
wet-bulb thermometer exposed to
a saturated atmosphere registers
the same temperature as a dry
bulb thermometer.

Cautiously. lest self-control slip

darkness and in silence. She lay
motionless, never stirring save for
the slow clenching and relaxing of

The sensation called cold Is
simply an effect arising from the
absence or abstraction OF heat.
Cold is not radiated, but heat is.
Heat is a form of energy; cold is
nothing but relative absence Of
heat energy. Your chunk of ice
at minus 20 degrees would pro-
duce more cooling of the refriger-
ator than the other equal chunk
at plus 20 degrees, because it has,
in proportion to the lowness of
It's temperature, a greater capacity
to absorb heat from surrounding
objects. OF course, you are using
the Fahrenheit scale, for by the
centigrade scale zero Is the freez-
ing point, while the Fahrenheit
zero is 80 degrees below freezing.

book which said that in the future
we would have liquid air engines
for light, heat and power purposes,
and that these engines would use
the heat of the universe as their
source Of power. Can air be liqui-
