Secrets of Health
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

or hear something that i'm
presses you, and that night
untitled wishes appear in the
disguise of that something that
struck you so forcibly.
Have you ever noticed that
you do not dream of the some
thing that impressed you ex-
actly as you heard it or saw it?
If you dream about it at all you
do so in a very muSh changed
and distorted manner.
Dreams diStort things so you
can't find out what they are
hiding. If they do not so dis
guise, your represSions would be
as clear to you as the day you
pushed them out of your mind
with the result that you would
awaken and worry all over again.
Dreams are also very con.
densed. A dream that actually
only consumes Is seconds can
not be written out from memory
in less than half hour or more.
Dreams are very dramatic.
The material is marshalled in a
way that suggests melodrama.
Dreams are often jumbled and
topsy-turvy. Exaggerations and
fantastic situations are the rule.
That, again. is to throw you off
your guard, to prevent you from
waking up.
When you dream you see
yourself as though you were act
ing in a moving picture. You
see yourself doing strange things
in rather an impersonal way.
You're there-yet you're not!
Just exactly how the mind
creates the dream world will
probably always remain puz-
zling problem.
The Washington times., 1930-05-29

AS much, if not more, has
been written about dreams than
upon any other single subject.
Dreams have always been a
puzzle.
Dreams have always inter
ested people-even as far back
as the time of the Egyptians.
Dreams are so vivid and real,
yet so elusive and fleeting.
that the mechanisms through
which the mind creates has
likewise been a, fascinating
study to PSYCHOLOGISTS.
Not all scientists are agreed
as to how dreams are manu-.
factured. The following ex-
plantations, however, are worthy
of consideration.
Dreams have two causes
a 'precipitating" and an "un,
derlying" cause.
If an occurrence impresses
you during the day you are
likely to dream about it at
night. In other words, the
unusual or the singular always
precipitates the dream.
The underlying, or under.
meath cause. however, may date
back to your earliest childhood
days. That cause is always an
unfulfilled and suppressed de-
sire of some sort.
Like prisoners, let us say,
these desires are forever trying
to get out and assert them.
selves. A hay wagon passes;
the prisoner sees his oppor,

and escapes!

Unseen Planets
By Archibald Henderson

In the midst of the excite
ment and furore over the dis
covery of the new body, pro-
nounced a planet by the as
tronomers of the Lowell OBJ
servatory at Flagstaff, little has
been said of the predictions of
Prof. w. H. Pickering. To this
subject he has devoted much
of his time since 1908.
In 1910 Pickering believed
that four trans-Neptunian
planets would ultimately be
found. Observation did not con-
firm these predictions. One year
later he established himself at
Vaudeville in Jamaica. and
since that time has been max
ing exhaustive studies of the
unseen planets which he be-
lieves to exist beyond Neptune.
Over a long period of years
he has b n studying certain
comets and also calculating the
paths of the three theoretical
planets which he now believes
to exist.
There are many deviations in
the movements of the known
outer planets which yet re-
main unexplained. There are
certain comets slipping quietly
through trans-Neptunian space
in vast elliptical orbits which
cannot be accounted for by the
influence of known bodies.
It is on such evidence, gath
cred together from many obSer.
vationS, that Prof. Pickering
bases his predictions.
For instance. he predicts the
existence of a body which he
calls Planet o, with a mass of
about three-fourths that of the
earth, and a diameter of about
1000 miles.
He predicted that in Febru
ary, 1923, Planet o would be
distant about 2,S00. 600. 900 miles
