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.

soul does not die with the body,

the brain is an instrument used

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.

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.

There were almost as many at-!

"The significant feature of the !
