8ir George Turner wns knighted be

and his heroic self sacrllke In working
among the lepers of South Africa. His
effort has hecn to make the lepers

Since he became governor general of

000 miles. At thirty miles an hour,
which is a fair average as between

months, running night and day. and

practically all of this travel has been

Pnvriilcsl Research it I llurvurd.
The popular idea o( psychical re
search Is that It consists chietiy of
ghost hunting. Huch a view Is ulaxit
us near the truth as the general im
pression that the new psychology deals
mostly with mental heullng. In both
Instances the public has taken one fea
ture of tbeae Intensely Interesting and
import ii nt new Holds of knowledge, or,
rather, of Investigation, us the whole
thing, it Is true that the new psy
chology does touch mental healing, but
It relates to the power of suggestion
and of the subconscious mind over the
formation of character, efficiency,
mental poise and moral tone, as well
as bodily health. It la likewise true
that psychical research has concerned
Itself with so culled spiritistic phe
nomena, but It bus ulso Investigated
unusual psychic fscts. whether presum
ed to relate to the deud or the living.
Kvery new science has brought upon
Itself ridicule because In the uuture of
things It had to go Into realms of shud
ow where knowledge was vugue. Hy
patient Investigation, however, the
shadows were dispelled and the knowl
edge became more definite In St.
Augustine's du mathematicians were
looked upon as not quia respectafte.
During the middle ages ull sorts of
scientists were regarded as magicians
and as being slightly oil color.
There Is no reason why little under

should not be Investigated as are the
facts of the material universe. It Is

Masculine Pulchritude.
A nieilh.il magazine says that men
are growing handsomer. The cynic
might rcpl. that there Is abundant
room. In this the cynic would lo
wrong. If American men become
much more beautiful the feminine half
of creation Is in danger of forgetting
sulTnige and everything else In sheer
admiration The medical publication
does not stop with personal pulchri
tude, however. It says that we are
lietter housed, better fed and better
clothed than ever men were before. If
this be true the men who lived before
have our undivided sympathy. That
they were not up to our standard of
beauty may be readily conceded, but
that they had worse clothes, bouses
and food leaves them In a bad way.
Are men growing handsomer? How
can they? rosslbly the medical editor
who wrote this wns a trifle subjective
In his mental viewpoint Most men are.
They do not think of mnnklnd in broad
general terms, but have some particu
lar man In view, and that man Is usu
ally the om dblng the thinking. The
"ego In his cosmos" gives him an in
flated Idea of all masculine loveliness.
This Is a form of sex vanity.
Heretofore beauty hns been thought
a feminine property, and men have
prided themselves on other things. Not.
a few women admit In secret that
their masculine Ideal Is a rough, hnlry
creature who Is a cross between a
cavo man and a Norse viking. Neither
the cave man nor the viking ever saw
a bathtub or a burlier Whether or
lot the modern man Is handsomer than
they, ho at least is cleaner and has
less hair.
