spirit of Oscar Wilde to some responsible medium is
to be produced in the United States this winter.
It is asserted that Mr.. Wilde dictated passage after
passage at terrific speed and the medium redictaed to
stenographer.
We have not this poshumous play Of Mr.. Wildes,
but IN all probability it will be poor. Somehow other
almost all the famous who have back from the
spirit world and dictated things through mediums have
fallen OFF tremendously in their creative genius We have
had articles from Mark Twain Ebert Hubbard and famous
men OF long ago, back to julius Caesar.
These men, while they seemed be pretty good when
they were living, have fallen into mode of living in the
vale beyond which evidently tells their creative ab
They do not seem to do well through mediums they
did in the flesh. T.
Having had experience the spirit life Of the beyond
it impossible to say how these worthless living But
whatever way it is is not doing them much good from
reproductive point Of view We very much afraid there
is mistake in the transmission the whole is
plain fraud.
Those who ndite correspondence from the spirit world
seem to dodge intelligent and scientific proof Their whole
work must be done way the dark and call for
faith than the average reader is able to supply.
In the matter of publishing writing there but one
test that Is ability and WORTH and this applies quite
well to those who dictate from the spirit world those
who write in this.
There way avoid this that we know Of There
is to get credit for fine writing this world ex-
cept to find people who will pay for it and as rule spirit

The fact that the new terms

Adding Another GrOan.
1t is this diversity of new ter
minology more than anything
else that prevents scientific men
engaged in different lines of in.
vestigation from understanding
and sympathizing with one another
more than they do. To give an
example. / quote this, which
think condemns itself, from John
Mills excellent book on THE
Realities of Modern Science" He
is speaking of book supported
motionless by a table:
I'VE recognize that IL the SUD-
porting table is withdrawn the
book will fall and a force will be
exerted in accelerating 1t. But the
book falls not because of force
but rather because of the partial
conversion Of its potential energy
into kinetic energy. We do not
yet know why such. a change in
energy occurs, but 1t is u phe-
nomenon of nature that it does
unless some obstacle like the
table intervenes. We have no
word to express this idea, although
the word 'tractate' has been pro-
posed. Similarly, 'pellate" has been
suggested to describe the natural
motion of bodies away from each
other. For example, like electrical
charges pellate, unlike tractate."
And Mr.. Mills proceeds to use
these words "tractate" and pei
late" But of what real use are
they? They describe no new
phenomenon. They simply send the
ordinary reader who encounters
them hunting for their meaning,
while they add another groan to
the plant of the overburdened
shelf OF scientific terms. AMI re-
member--everythi that makes
science more difficult reading
helps to keep it from the public.
Most science is not half as diff.
cult to understand as it's vocabu-
larry makes 1t appear to be.
The Washington times., 1924-12-06

~ NE Of the chief difficulties
In the propagation Of sci
~ entific facts and ideas
among people at large lies in the
constant growth Of the vocabu-
laries OF science, together with
the equally rapid increase OF its
subdivisions. Every time q new
subdivision Is formed a fresh vo-
cabulary Is provided for it. Each
child in the swelling family must
have its own suit OF clothes, cut
to fit itself and no other.
And every time that a discov-
cry is made at least one new
word is added. In truth the mere
enumeration OF the names Of the
branches, and subbranches, and
twigs Of the scientific tree now
requires q fairly fat dictionary.
One result is that some scien-
tific men are coming to know
even less than the reading public
knows about the branches Of
science in which they are not
personally engaged.
When exclusive devotion to
some one single line of investiga-
ton Is carried too far 1t Is apt to
produce narrow-minded pedapts,
whose intellectual vision is
limited to a single peephole,
while each Of them thinks that
what he sees through his hole
is the most important thing in
creation. On the other hand, Of
course, just this singleness OF
purpose and OF application, when
it actuates a mind Of the first
order, may lead to the greatest
advances that science is capable OF
making.
Craze for New Terms.
But too often the results of all
this digging are Of purely per-
sonal interest and importance,
and affect the world at large and
the general advancement OF
science not at all. 1t ID kind

What is called practical

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect It.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.

mothers are left in a weakened and

for such mothers the care Of the baby
