Wiielsss Telegraphy May Point to the
“Why* of Telepathy.
Accepting telepathy as an establish
ed fact the problem remains- how are
we to explain It? What Is the mech
aulsm by which one person la able to
transm it messages directly and in­
stantaneously to another person, al
though they may be half the world
apart?
To this question it must frankly be
admitted no positive answer can as
yet l>e returned. But some Interesting
hypotheses hare lately been advanced,
not by mere theorists, bnt by emtueut
men of science, who. themselves aitirm
Ing the actuality of telepathy, hare
given much thought to the problem of
Its mode of operation.
Sir William Crookes, for example,
call:tig attention to the marvelous but
undisputed facts of the real vibration
as evidenced by the phenomena of
wireless telegraphy and the Roentgen
rays, urges that here we have quite
possibly an adequate explanation of
the mystery of telepathy of a wholly
naturalistic basis— that la to say, a
bn«N which eunbles us to accept telep­
athy without dislocating our entire
com option of the physical universe.
“It seema to me.” he suggests, “that
these rays (the Roentgen rays) may
have a possible way of transplanting
Intelligence which, with a few reason­
able postulates, may supply the key to
much that is obscure in physical re­
search. Let It he assumed that these
rays, or rays of even higher frequency,
can pass Into the brain and act on
some nervous center there. Let It be
conceived that the brain contains a
center which uses these rays as tie
voer. I chords use sound vibrations
(loth being under the command of In
telligence) nnd sends them oat with
the velocity of light to Impinge on the
rec<!vlng ganglion of another brain,
in this same way the phenomena of
telepathy and the transmission of In­
telligence from one sensitive to anotb
er through long distances seem to
come into the domain of law and can
be grasped.”
This undoubtedly Is the explanation
that most strongly commends Itself to
tho-n* scientists who courageously ac­
knowledge their belief In telepathy.
Nor do they «ee any objection to It In
the fact that people apparently are af­
fected by the telepathic impulse only
at certain times, for the brain of both
sender and receiver may conceivably,
on the analogy of wireless telegraphy.

pathic communications only when at-

tude.—U. Addington Bruce in Hamp
ton Magazine.
Modern Husbands.
Lady Nevlll In her reminiscences
talks of the decadence of the day as
reflected In the lives of women. "The
fact is.” she says, "that In a great
marv cases modern woman—In Eng­
land. I mean—is spoiled. Many have
no Interests and too much time on
their hands, with the result that they
will take up some fad. As for the
well to do. a great number of them
now seem to completely dominate
their husbands. This struck the old
shah of Persia very much. “It seems
to me.’ said he. ’that an English or
American husband Is nothing bettei
than a sort of butler.” '
Lincoln Jolted Seward.
f'ncle Billy Green of Illinois was
Lin oln's partner In the grocery at Sa
Ion At night, when customers were
few. he held the grammar while Lin
coin recited his lessons. At Lincoln’s
first Inaugural banquet Green sat at
the table on the president’s left with
the dignified Secretary Seward on the
right. Lincoln presented the two men
to each other, saying. "Secretary Sew
nrd this Is Mr Green of Illinois.’
Seward bowed stiffly, when Lincoln ex­
claimed: “Oh. get op. Seward, and
shake hands with Green. He's the
man that taught me my grammar.”—
