Bring Money. By Arthur Brisbane (Copyright 192S oy Star Company) Edison says his belief in im mortality is a "fifty-fifty propo sition." He half believes, half disbelieves. If he should find himself living and conscious, in eternity, Edison would ask per mission to spend his time ex perimenting. The trouble is that in heav en, where nothing is needed, no sickness to cure, no houses to light, no batteries to build, ex perimenting could not be made useful. That would spoil it for Edison. Conan Doyle says he can prove that Edison is wrong and that immortality is the only possibility. Conan Doyle's son, it seems, went to a medium and talked to a young friend, killed in a motor accident. The dead friend called young Doyle by his nickname, mentioned the nicknames of mutual friends. In other words, the "spirit" did several things that the medium might easily have done, but nothing that , the medium could not have done. Young Doyle should h a.v.e nsked the well educated spirit to quote the first lines of Iliad. He would have got no answer. ' All the talk about trial mar riage and companionable mar riage makes one clergyman fear that marriage may become a lottery. Adam thought it was that, when he bit into that ap ple, and when one of his two boys killed the other. Marriage is neither a lottery '. . - J nor a sale bond issue.
