(CopyrlRht, 1927. by Now York Kvenlng Journal. Inc.) Reiul this and wonder. Yes fcnliiy the liussiim government suit five tons of (told through the streets of London on a truck with no armed men es corting it, .not even two or three detective!. . The gold, worth more tfiiui two and a i half million ' dollar, . traveled through London . Jikc ordinary JJlg iron.

Sir Arthur Keith, head of the British Association for the Ad vancement of Science, says what we call mind, spirit or! soul is a product of the mater- ial brain and dies with it. Sir Oliver Lodge, a great D..;n..tlL.f I..., j 1 umi ovK tiiiiii, tjut, uiu, nn, n ; j nu soul does not die with the body, ... , . . . ', the brain is an instrument used by the niiud." , To say that the soul is a' product of the mind is, accord ing to Lodge, like calling Beet hoven the product of a piano which interprets his music. Bum the piuno and you will r. nor destroy Bf'cth'oil'cn.' : ' Duvcen has bought another picture at another price rec ord. For flie painting, "The Madonna Child," by Itnphael, that gave Lady Desborough $875.0(10. If ty-itinn wants it at cost it will stay in England. If not, some American, will f gladly pay $1,000,000 for it. . When you pay a million tlol I lars for a picture you get a beautiful painting, and you feel ynu have purchased a good j deal of respectability, refine ment and importance. That's comforting. Garrett I. Scrviss, able as tronomer, says dirigibles will help astronomers, lifting giant telescopes high above earth into clear atmosphere. There might be some diffi culty keeping the giant '"eye" steady. At present, says Mr. Scrviss, earth's biggest telescope is on Mount AVilson, with a lens eight feet in diameter. Eur- i ope is working at a 24-foot ' lens. Such a leiiSj raised seven or eight miles above, tho earth, would bring object on the moon to within eight miles of the human eye. The Senate approved a hill that now goes to the president, : cutting air mail charges 50 per cent. Postmaster General New olicves that lower price will mean more business, better pro fit. . The Manhattan elevated rail road in New York City never made any real money until the fare wns reduced from ten cents to five. The hill aiso permits the ptitof f ice to make ten-year mail carrying contracts, wlieh is sensible. It doesn't pay to ( build airplanes nnd train men for a four-year contract.
