HOW SCIENCE IS
PHOTOGRAPHING THOUGHT
Dr. Baraduc, of Paris, has an
nounced that he can photograph
thought. He is a practicing phy
sician, and electropath. His pro
fessional studies led him to the dis
covery which he has just announced
at a meeting of the Societe de Med
ecine, in Paris.
In making his experiments Dr.
Baraduc first produces a couple of
magneto-menres. These are two
little cases graduated to 360 degrees
on each of which moves a copper
needle as sensitive as possible, but
isolated from all exterior contact
in a small glass vessel. No breath,
therefore, no slightest displace
ment of the air, can affect it. You
are asked to hold your open hands
in such a way that the fingers all
point to one of these little magno
metres, and observe what follows.
At the end of about two minutes,
if you are a person of normal tem
perament, you will fnid that the
needle opposite your left hand has
fled five degrees away; the other
oposite your right hand, has ap
proached by 15 degrees.
Now what has produced this
double displacement ? Evidently
some force, fluid or wave, call
it what you will, of which you are
the fountain head, enters the left
needle and makes a circuit back
through the right. Dr. Baraduc
calls this vitaly force. It gives
testimony to its existence in a very
striking manner.
Between each of the magneto
metres and your hands a sensitized
plate is introduced, the room is
darkened save a faint red light,
which, as is well known, cannot
make an impression on the salts
of silver. Now, if you dip the
plates in the developing basin you
will find that the right one pre
sents a curious speckled appearance
| while the left surface is divided
into almost unbroken blackness on
one side and a mottled white on
the other. This proves that the
vital force bears rays of light and
that it has passed through both
glass vessels. The two plates are
there to furnish the necessary evi
dence.
Dr. Baraduc calls the vital force
when passing out of the left hand,
expiration, and when passing back
to the right hand, aspiration. Now,
| you will remember that the expira
tion mooved the needle five degrees
forward, while aspiration drew it
15 degrees backward. There re
mains therefore a difference of 10,
which is some accumulated in our
human reservoir. That is des
cribed as a physical force, which
we can by a mere effort of will,
radiate out of us.

SOME OF THE DOINGS OF
_ THE FISHING FLEET
(From the Seattle Times)
Twenty schooners of Seattle’s in
dependent halibut fleet landed a
total of 789,000 pounds of halibut
in Prince Rupert, B. C. between Jan
uary 14 and Feb., 8, inclusive, ac
cording to figures obtained by the
Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association
of this port. Under the condition
existing until last spring practical
ly all the that would have been
brought to Seattle.
Owners of Seattle schooners cite
the figures in proof of their con
tention that the United States gov
emmeynt should come to the help
of the American ports on the Paci
fic. The owners as a rule believe
that the problem could be solved by
placing a duty on fish imported
from Canada.
The halibut landed at Prince Ru
pert is sent to the eastern markets
by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail
way. Under a Canadian order in
council issued last spring, American
schooners are allowed to land their
catches in British Columbia ports.
The prices received by the twenty
schooners which made Prince Ru
pert in the period mentioned ranged
from five cents to seven cents a
pound. The schooners are fishing
to the westward, most of them
getting their catches in the Yaku
tat banks, which means that they
have to go a long way from Seattle
Prevailing winds have been from
the south since the first of the year
As soon as the halibut reappear in
Hecate Strai t the schooners will
come southward to fish and a num
ber of them will bring their catches
to Seattle, but others will go to
Prince Rupert.

SPURIOUS RICE POWDER
Several of the preparations sold
under this name have been exam
ined by Chas, II. La Wall, who re
ported at a recent meeting of the
Pennsylvania Pharmacuetical As
sociation that very few of them
contain rice starch, while many
consist largely of more or less
harmful mineral ingredients.
Mr. La Wall also called attention
to tlie fact that under the current
interpretation of the term “drug”
the federal, as well as the state
food and drug laws, do not apply
to preparations sold as cosmetices.

Canada’s population only just ex

The regimental dog of the 23rd
French foot died on the field of
honor. In a recent engagement
the animal was intrusted with a
message from one set of trenches
to another. He had often been on
similar errands, and, "although shot
at a score of times, had never been
hit. Fate failed to favor him to
the end, and this time he was
struck down just as another couple
of bounds would have carried him
into safety. He died as the mes
sage was untied from his collar.

’ LISBON’S TIME SIGNAL ...
Correct time is announced every
hour in the port of Lisbon, Portu
gal, by means of two lanterns plac
ed on iron columns 100 feet high.
The lanterns each have three faces,
measuring 6.5 feet by 8 feet. At
exactly five minutes before the
hour, a horizontal line of light ap
pears on each face, and on the tick
of the hour, this light is extin
guished. The signals may be seen
even in the daytime a _ distance of
a mile and a half. At night the
position of the lanterns is marked
by three red lights. The signals
are worked electrically under the
control of a clock in the Observa
torio Astronimico de Lisboa.

WHERF, THEY HAVEN’T YET
HEARD OF THE WAR
“Incredible though it may sound,
there are still places which have
not yet heard a syllable about the
war,” says a writer in London Tit
Bits.
“Tristan d’Acuhna, the lonely
South Atlantic island, has not re
ceived a mail since the outbreak
of war. Tristan d’Acuhna is en
tirely dependent upon chance com
munications from the Cape, 1500
miles away. Sometimes it is as
long as two years before its people
hear from the outside world.
“It is a British possession, and
its people, numbering 80, are main
ly descendants of shipwrecked sail
ors. They are of mixed origin—
English, Scotch, Irish, American,
Dutch, Italian, Asiatic and Negro.
There is not one "enemy alien.”
“Another place that has probab
ly not yet heard of the war is
Jquitos, in eastern Peru. Yquitos
has perhaps the most romantic mail
service in the world.
“Its letters are taken up the
Amazon to Manaos, and thence
right across South America up' the
mighty river in a river steamer.
It is only a few hundred miles from
Lima, the Pacific capital of Peru,
but the wall of the Andes is an al
most impassable barrier.
"The ‘quick’ route, therefore,
from Yquitos to Lima is all the
thousands of miles down the Ama
zon and across the Atlantic, and
then ‘via LiverpolL’ ”
