When Man Died
Chicago, August 15.—Dr. Patrick S O’Donnell, an X-ray expert
of Chicago, makes the startling assertion that lie believes he has discov
ered what may constitute the human soul or spirit. He declares he
actually observed the spirit leaving a dying man.
Some time ago, using a chemicalized film sealed between two thin
stiipsof glass. Dr. O’Donnell gave a demonstration of the aura, or
“electrical radiation,’’ of living before twenty physicians, tour young
women being used as subjects. The aura developed as a strong ray of
light surrounding the entire form of the subject.
“Later, said Dr. O’Donnell, “in the presence of several physicians
at Mercy hospital I tried the experiment on a dying man. He was
rapidly sinking. Suddenly the attending physiciaus announced that
the man was dead. The aura hegan to spread from the body and pres
ently disappeared. Further observation of the corpse revealed no sign
ol the aura.
“We do not claim that the light is the soul or spirit. I11 fact, no
one seems to know what it is. In my opinion, however, it is some sort
of radio activity, made visible by the use of the chemical screen. My
experiments, however, seem to prove that it is the animating power or
current of life oi human beings.”
THE WORKERS.
They’re giving all manner of
knowledge, the teachers infesting
this vale: you store up your head
in a college, or gain erudition by
mail. Alas, but in all our questing
the tiling that’s most useful is mis
sed; the beautiful science of resting
is never put down on the list. The
people who rustle around me pur
suing the kopeck and yen, astonish,
disgust and confound me, they're
such industrious men! They never
let up for a second, all day they are
working for gain; at night, when
their profits are reckoned, they’re
planning another campaign. They’re
planning some skirmish or sortie,
some ambush they think may be
sprung; they’re older than Noah at
forty, and die of old age while
they’re young. The thought of a
let-up is funny, suggest it, and get
a rebuff: “We’ll rest when we have
enough money, and money is surely
the stuff.” All through the coun
try you’ll find ’em, for money they
labor and grub, as though the Old
Nick were behind ’em, a-touching
’em up with a club. All this may
look good to the miser who lives by
his big money chest, but some who
are calmer and wiser insist on the
beauties of rest.—Walt Mason.
Present Center of Population
Washington, August 27.—According
to a census bureau announcement, the
center of population of the United
States is four miles and a half south of
Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana.
Since 1900, when it was six miles south
east of Columbus, Ind., it has moved
thirty-one miles westward and seven
tenths of a mile northward. The west
ward movement was more than twice
that of the 1890-1900 decade. This ac
celeration is attributed by the census
officials principally to the growth of
the Pacific and Southwestern states.
The geographical center of the
United States is in northern Kansas, so
that the center of population is about
500 miles east of the geographical
center. _
Get gasoline at Vaehon & Sterling’s,
To Eliminate Frost
From Exposed Land
Grand Junction, Col., September 1.—
Pull a lever and raise the temperature
of your orchard 10 degrees over an
area of ten or twenty acres is the latest
device for orchard heating introduced
by Grand valley orehardists in their
fight against frost.
W. C. Scheu is the inventor of a
device for generating heat before the
mercury falls too low. Scheu’s system
lights the heaters on five or ten acres
simultaneously. He has his smudge
pots in a straight line across the or
chard, connecting the lids with wires,
drawn taut. Underneath the lid is a
cup containing gasoline. Over it is a
carriage containing powder. By ex
ploding the powder the gasoline is
ignited, which in turn fires the oil in
the heater.
Scheu has demonstrated that in five
minutes he can start the heaters going
on ten acres of orchard and can extin
guish the fires in the same length of
time. _
SIO.OGO a Pound
for Outside Dogs
Wilmington, Del., August 29.—Thir
ty pounds of dogs valued at $300,000,
brought from England by Mrs. Alfied
I. du Pont, wife of the multimillionaire
vice-president of the Du Pont Powder
Company, have arrived here. The an
imals, six in number, are Sealy Ham
terriers. They are the first of the
breed to be imported. Mrs. du Pont
herself places their worth at $10,000 a
pound.
The species was originated by the
Duchess of Teck, mother of Queen
Marv of Great Britain. It is a result
of a blending of wire-haired and Scotch
terriers._

Champion Soulier Is
Latest “ White Hope”
London, August.—The failure of Bill Lang has in no way
dampened the ardor of Australians in their search for a “white
hope,” and at last they believe they have discovered a man who
has an outside chance of bringing back the world’s championship.
The new aspirant is Dick Arnst, champion sculler of the
world.
“For some time past the Australian sporting journals have
been hinting at the possibility of the burly New ' ealander for
saking the outriggers in favor of the ring, and a few days before
leaving Austi-alia,” says a writer in the London Sportsman, “I as
certained that the favorable reception generally given to the sug
gestion that he take up boxing had made Arnst consider the
matter seriously.
“From the one most concerned, I had received an invitation to
be present at his tryout with an American boxer of note. It was
supposed to be Arnst’s first bout with the gloves, but even remem
bering the great disparity in weight and strength in favor of the
New Zealander, it was soon apparent he had paid more than
a passing attention to the sport. He did not shape like a novice,
but made the most of his superior strength and weight. After the
bout I had a long talk with Arnst, and in reply to a question he
said:
“ ‘Well, you see, there is not much in the sculling business.
In fact, there is hardly enough to repay me for the solid training
it demands. Good matches are few and far between and there are
not more than a couple of decent handicaps in the course of a year.
Naturally, a world’s champion has very little chance of pulling off
a handicap.
“ ‘So far I have cleaned up everything in my own class and
the only matches ahead of me are with Harry Pearce and Barry.
If I get through with them there is nothing in sight for me.
“ ‘A dozen of my friends have been drilling it into me that in
the ring there is always something doing with big money for the
man who can get near the front. I know it means a fairly long
apprenticeship with a good chance of failure at the end, but at the
present moment I am strongly inclined to take it up.
“So far as weight and strength are concerned I would not be
giving anything away to the biggest of them. In good condition
I would go well over 200 pounds, and I ought to have a sleep pro
ducer about me somewhere. At any rate I think I’ll give it a
trial.”
Five Million Negroes
May Go To Africa
St. Louis, Mo.—It is believed that
five million negroes will migrate from j
the United States to Africa. The ideal
is ripening among members of the “On I
to Africa Congress,” which is is to be
held here August 4 of next year. The
belief is entertained by many leading
negroes of the United States that if
they return to Africa and undertake
its development with modern facilities
and knowledge which they have gain
ed in this country, that they will meet
with general prosperity and be fat
happier than in this land of unhappy
race differences.
