curate reading of one mind by another
was not due to chance.
When Prof. William MacDougall, of
England, went to Duke University as
head of the psychology department
there, series Of experiments in telep-
athy and clairvoyance were under
taken which have produced remark
able results DR.. ]. B. Rhine, of Duke,
prepared packs of cards, twenty-five

symbols, one symbol on each card. A
telepathic sender would shuttle the
pack, turn up card and try to send
the symbol it contained mentally to
another person some distance away
AS in our Harvard experiment some
percipients we're much better than
Others But Rhine found an occasional
gifted subject who could receive the
entire twenty-five mental messages"
without mistake He found twenty
subjects who received telepathic in
formation SO accurately that the
chances were 100000 to that their
success was not due to chance.
But what can this strange power
be? Spirituallsts would have us believe
that one spirit leaves its body and
meets the other spirit, delivering the
message during this ethereal contact.
Many scientists advance the theory
that one mind sends out super r-radio
thought waves which another mind
receives.
Rhine's experiments proved both
these theories wrong He put the pack

British collectors already are plan
ming for the international celebration
of the centenary of the postage stamp
In 1910. and among the proposals
under discussion Is that for the is
suance of a commemorative in tribute
to the services Of Sir Rowland Hill,
Originator and organizer of the penny
post system"
Sir Rowland was the third son Of
Thomas Wright Hill, a self-taught
teacher who conducted progressive
school near Birmingham, from his
fortieth to his eighty-third year and
who on his deathbed still was mental
ly vigorous enough to invent a new
method for determining for any year
the date of Easter.
Born December 3. 1795, the future
"reformer of communications" began
his professional career at IL in the
role Of teacher of mathematics in
the family academy. Between 1919
and 1888 his experiments in educa-
tional procedure prepared the way for
Arnold of Rugby and other modern
pedagogical leaders. But failing
health forced him to abandon teach
ing, and he turned to mechanical SCI
ence for occupation, developing during
some months of endeavor a successful
rotary printing press finally put into
operation three and a half decades
later.
Meanwhile. the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA says: In 1885 the large surplus
in the revenue turned his attention
to the possibility of using it to i'm
prove the existing postal system, which
he had seen was a great burden to
the poor. He had already in 1926
considered the feasibility of a travel
ing post office, but had never pub
l1shed his scheme. He failed to OBJ
tain admission to the post office, but
with the aid Of a great mass of
statistical information succeeded in
demonstrating that the chief expense

Of letter carriage was in receiving and
distribution, and that the cost varied
so little with the distance that q
uniform rate of postage was the
fairest and most practical course. The
principle is now 50 much Q common
place that it Is not easy to realize how
startling 1t was to Hills contempo-
raries. He had observed that during
the previous 20 years the postal reve-
nue. In England had diminished In.
stead Of increasing, whereas in France,
where lower rates were in operation,
it had increased considerably. He
prophesied that the decrease In the
postal rate would be made good by
the increase Of correspondence and by
the saving obtained from prepayment
Cat that time unusuaD, simplified
accountancy and smaller costs of dis
tribution. He recommended within
the United Kingdom a penny rate for
letters not exceeding half an ounce in
weight. He submitted his proposals
privately to Lord Melbourne's govern
ment in January, 1887, but, as no re-
suit followed, soon afterward published
them in pamphlet form under the
title, Post Office Reform-Its I'M
portance and Practice The employ
nent Of postage stamps Is suggested
in the following words, which have
interest as the earliest definition Of q
postage stamp: Perhaps the diff
culties might be obviated by using o
bit Of paper just large enough to bear
the stamp and covered at the back
with glutinous wash which, by
applying a little moisture. might be
attached to the back of the letter.
On November %, 1887, the House Of
Commons appointed a committee to
examine the subject and on July II,
1888, recommended, by the casting
vote of the chairman, a uniform rate
of 2 pence the half ounce. The gov
ernment was opposed to the measure,
but was eventually compelled to yield
to public opinion, and penny postage
was included in the budget and car
ried by the House of Commons on
July IL, 1899. After an intermediate
rate of 4 pence had been in operation
from December 5 that year, the penny
rate commenced on January 10, 1910"
Sir Rowland was employed In the
post office from 1840 to 1912 and
from 1846 to 1864. A public subscrip-
ton in amount of f13,360 was raised
for him in 1846; his salary was fixed
at e., 900 a year and continued at that
rate after his retirement from service;
and he was granted 100000 by Parlia-
ment in 1864. He died at Hampstead
August 81, 1879, and his ashes were en-
shrined in Westminster Abbey.
The actual date Of the centenary
will be May 6, 1910, and the projected
commemorative should appear on that
occasion.

"The agency has been doing an
annual business approximating $2.000.-
900. But not all collectors obtain
their new stamps from this office. A
good many go 70 their local post
offices, and these sales to collectors
are unrecorded as such. Stamps sold
in this manner might run $2,000,0 900
more.

stamps is the British Empire, particu-
larly from the standpoint OF the

Each issue always has its clientele

the demand for a particular set Is not
SO great, the total can pile up con-
siderably. So on an estimate basis,
there may be added another $4,000,-
900 for this division Of the world.
Then, If further S2,000,000 is
counted for the new stamps from other
countries, $4,000, 900 is the result.
