"I have spent fifty years studying the question," the astronomer says. "and have applied to it the same | rules as to scientific research. I ex-| cluded every example which would not stand the test of scientific veri- fication." Among the proofs offered by Dr. Flammarion are cases of dead per- sons fulfilling promises, giving notice of their demise and giving warnings of events which afterwards material- ized, even such as the execution of vengeance for wrongs through me- diums previously unaware of the wrongs done. Among the proofs cited are the following: "The late composer Saint Saens, just before his death, related the fact that on the last day of the war of 1870 while he was dining gaily with his comrades at an advanced post he distinctly heard the chant- ing of the theme Jaround which he later composed his famous requiem. From this phenomena he had a pre- sentiment of misfortune and later learned that his friend, the great artist Henri Regnault, had died the same instant. "A patient of Dr. Caltagirone of Palmero," says Dr. Flammarion, "made a pact with him that if he died before the doctor did he would come back and give evidence of the survival of the soul. A few months later the doctor's attention was drawn to the movement of a candel- abra which continued until a piece of it was detached and placed on a table as if laid there by a careful hand, Two days' afterwards the doctor learned that his patient had been dead several days. The break- ing of the condelabra was the sign agreed upon by which the patient was to prove the survival of the soul." Another instance cited by Dr. Flammarion is the case of a young man employed by a Glasgow manu- acturer. The young man, who died of poison which he had mistakenly drunk for whisky, appeared after death to his employer and begged him not to belleve what he was go- ing to be told. The employer prev- lously was unaware of the Young man's death, He was told a few minutes later that the boy had com- mitted suicide. A careful investi- gation proved that death was really due to taking the poison by mistake. Dr. Flammarion produces a great number of examples already pub- lished in his physical works, mani- festations of the spirit at different periods after death from an hour to several years. He says, however, he does not pretend to say that the soul is immortal. but contents him- self with classifying evidence prov- ing scientifically that it does survive the body, ---------- An Odessa Clergyman.

"Alcohol ean never be anything more than a help where motor fuels are concerned," 'an expert said re- cently. "All the alcohol we are able to produce can be profitably used in the making of fuel mixtures, but, for all that has been said to the com- trary, the quantity obtainable is reia- tively small. "Much has been said about the utilization of cornstalks for making alcohol on an enormous scale, but there is nothing in the idea. Corn- Stalks gre bulky; it would not pay to transport them in great quantities to big central plants for distillation. To make such use practicable there should be a plant for every five Square miles, run perhaps on a co- operative plan by farmers. But how many billions of dollars a year would it cost to watch the farmers and see that the alcohol was not sold for bev- erage purposes? "In the year 1921 we consumed in this country 7,080,000,000 gallons of gasoline. During the same period we exported 1,9564,000,000 gallons. Our production of alcohol in the twelve months was about 100,000,000 gal- lons. So you see how small a figure relatively the alcohol cut. "Alcohol can never take the place of gasoline as a motor fuel. There erated by it is not nearly so great a mixture. hol added. Benzol, as you doubtles: lation. It was produced on a large scale incidentally to the distillation of coal for toluol during the war-- the toluol being required for the manufacture of high explosives--and since then the output of benzo] has been continued. "In Brazil trials have been made oil; but they have not been success- ful. Official reports on results ob- tained acknowledge, first, miles to the gallon; second, dimin- consequent clogging of the buretor, shall learn how to make use of lower- point, perhaps even kerosene, though struction on new lines." Umbrella Handles. Those who are intrigued by the at- tractive shape of a wooden umbrella handle and conclude that the tree simply "grew that way" will be sur- Prised to lerrn that they are making & great mistake. Cultivating an um- brella handle is a slow and tedious Process, often requiring three years of the most careful attention. At the end of the first year the young tree is eut quite short. From then on, the bark of the sprouts is cut and the wood is carved and twisted into all manner of fancy shapes and the tree, as it grows, swells and enlarges the designs. Great care must be ex- ercised lest the tree die from inter- ruption of the flow of sap. After cut- ting each stick is dried carefully in the sun, and then steamed in a vapor bath until it is soft and pliable. -------- A Fish-eye View. To the fish the surface of the wa- ter, 'seen from below, presents a cir- cular window surrounded by mirrors, according to Edward Ringwood Hew- itt, author of "Secrets of the Sal- mon." It seems that a fish can see out into the air only through a lim- ited aperture; everywhere else the surface reflects the contents of the stream, or (if it be a shallow one) the bottom. "This is because the light rays passing from water to alr are bent, and when the angle to the light ray from the fish's eye with the ver- tical becomes great enough, it is bent backward so that it does not enter the air at all, but is directed down- 'ward toward the bottom. ------------------------ A New Ornament, Something new in the way of orna- ment is the invention of a woman, Jape Messenger, of Pacific Grove, Cal. It counterfeits an insect. The body of the insect is made of silk, stuffed with cotton. Its head is of silk stretched over a wire frame and provided with antennae of wire cov- ered with silk. The six legs are also of wire similarly covered, and the wing-cases are represented by a pair of pearly-mussél shells, hinged to- gether with a scrap of silk that is sewed to the back of the body. An ornamental insect of this kind ( sug- gests the inventor) may be worn on the person or used as a souvenir, -- Chinese Taxicab. China, the land which antedated nearly every one of our modern in- ventions, also.claims the invention of the taxicab some 600 years ago. The Chinese used a carriage with an at. tachment that dropped a pebble into a receptacle for every mile it travel- ed. In this case, however, the Chi- Dese claim can not be admitted, for in the year 192 a Roman emperor had a carriage which not only meas- ured the distance traveled but also time spent in the journey. -------------- Fossil Forest.

The fyear 1908 brought the I annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, | and an inevitable maze of cross. | currents in the Southern Slav poli- | tical world in its train.

He was, after all, first and | foremost, a Croat, and since by the | annexation all the Croats, at least, | were united under one roof, as it were, he took up the line that the | | Croatian question was now solved, | | and that in any case Serbia would be | too weak to assume the protecting | leadership in a Southern Slav state. In 1911 he actually lectured in this | | sense at Petrograd (then still St. | Petersburg). A Serbian took up the challenge, pointed out that the an- | nexation, so far from benefiting | Southern' Slav interests, was a Pan- | German move, and part of the Gen man policy ot Eastward Penetration. | Radic emerged from the conflict bad- ly discredited, and on his return to Croatia attacked Tribiecevic, late Min- | ister for Internal Affairs. During the war Radic remained true to his idea of a Southern Slav- dom united within the scope of the Hapsburg monarchy. Hence it was gradually drawn into the orbit of the Frank Party, or Pro-Austrians. Early in 1918 we find him still clamoring for all the rigor of the law against the '"'Serbophils." With the immin=- ence of the Austro-Hungarian col lapse he may have thought of adapt- ing himself to the probable new order. At all events, in May 1918, he attended the Slav Congress in Prague, and there spoke so vehement ly against Austria that he fairly over- shot the mark and -- rightly or wrongly--was taken by the Czechs for an Austrian agent provocateur, with the resuit that he was carefully shut out from all their secret counsels. A disappointment was in store for Radic when his influence and the strength of his following were under- rated by the new united Government after the liberation. He was offered most inadequate representation (two members) in the united Parliament. Doubtless this was a tactical mistake In dealing with an ambitious man. Affronted, he returned to his original line, if indeed he had ever left it. He boycotted the Parliament, and al- ready during the time of the Peace Conference tried to make Interest for his Croatian Republic, the upshot of which was that he found himself im- prisoned for a little while. This im- prisonment has proved one of his greatest assets ever since. It invested him with the halo of a man who has suffered for his convictions. In the eyes of his followers he became a sort of second Martyr St. Stephen! At one juncture he tried to Join forces with the Peasant Party, and Was even prepared; to go to Belgrade. But again his value was not Properly appreciated. The leader of the Serb- ian Peasant Party (Komadini¢) told him that his following was not large enough, and once more Radic retired in a dudgeon to nurse his wrath and bide his time. As no one seemed anx- ious to bid for his support, he made one more attempt to compromise with Belgrade. But by this timé his party had got out of hand. Too weak to establish a revolutionary republic, and too much at variance with the Government, there was now no course open to him but to fall into the arms of the Frank party. (tue old pro-Austiians), where he found himself in company with the remains of various Croatian pre-war factions, collectively called the Zajednicari (Coslitionists). Stjpan Radic is a self-taught man, vain, ambitious, but possessing above all things the quality of being all things to all men. He can over- persuade the educated as readily as he can blarney the man in the street. Naturally, his propaganda among the masses is tinged with Bolshevism to suit the timeés. The Croatian Repub- lic is to be as neutral as Switzerland, and even better off. For there is to be no army and no police efther-- and no clergy, and of course no taxes! No wonder Radic is popular, especially as he backs up his popular- ity with a modicum of terror. At this moment he is at the zenith of his power; yet of fate the current against him has increased greatly in strength and volume. His Bolshevis- tic tendencies have alienated the clergy, and in 'at home. ---- Another way to fight the divorce evil is to teach a girl how to cook before she marries--and afterward to Labor is internationalist abroad T nationalist Hi Np '¥ Stjepan Radic, who has long pos- |} Now he has attracted |} Blue Bird Electric Washer Higher than the Alps in quality.
