PROBE OF N. P. LAND GRANTS IS STARTED Washington. D. C — A Joint congres slonal committee has started consider ation of the land grants to the North ern Pacific railway. The Inquiry is a result of represen tations by the departments of agricul ture and Interior that several millions of acres In the national forests ar< being claimed as lieu lands by the rail road. The railroad, according to thest departments, already has had mor than was authorized under the grant ing acts. Charles Donnely, president of the Northern Pacific, was the first wit ness. He explained the railroad the ory of the grant, placing emphasis ou alleged failure of the government to conduct surveys of the granted lands as soon as the road was built, which he contended resulted In the loss of valuable tracts to the railroad. The investigation into the Northern Pacific land grants by a congressional committee broadened when members of the committee indicated they would inquire not only Into the present con tention of the railroad for 2,000,000 ad ditional acres, but to the law and facts attending under which lands have been taken over by the railroad.

A fox Will eptiy a human’« body— between tho fingernails and the ■kt«, they say—and. having made himself at home, ‘ will control the person’s thought, actlonaLand even his voice, leading him into deviltries for which he feels he cannot be held responsible. To thus be controlled by a fox—or rather by the spirit of a fox—is to suf fer from what If recognized as demo niacal possession. We ar« (old, say« the Detroit News, that "the person possessed hears and understands everything that the fox inside aaya or thinks; and that the two often engage In violent dis pute, the fox speaking tn a voice alto gether different from that which is natural to the individual.” Scientifi cally, we have it explained that “whereas in healthy persons one-half of the brain alone la actively engaged —|n right-handed persona the left half of the brain and In left-bapded per sona the right—In nervously excitable persona or in persons of weak mind the disused half of tho brain la often aroused intb activity by fear, and that the two halvea, now functioning—one the normal self and the other the new pathologically affected «elf—are set one against the other, the result being that the activities of the *new' brain are ascribed to the fox."
