THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE.
Wireless Telegraphy May Point to the
“Why” of Telepathy.
Accepting telepathy as an establish
ed fact, the problem remains—how are
we to explaiu it? What is the mech¬
anism by which one person is able to
transmit messages directly and in
stautaneously to another person, ai
though they may be half the world
apart?
To this question it must frankly be
admitted uo positive answer can as
yet be returned. But some interesting
hypotheses have lately been advanced,
not by mere theorists, but by eminent
men of science, who. themselves affirm
ing the actuality of telepathy, have
given much thought to the problem of
its mode of operation.
Sir William Crookes, for example,
calling attention to the marvelous but
undisputed facts of the real vibration
as evidenced by the phenomena of
wireless telegraphy and the Roentgen
rays, urges that here we have quite
possibly an adequate explanation of
the mystery of telepathy of a wholly
naturalistic basis—that is to say. a
basis which enables us to accept telep¬
athy without dislocating our entire
conception of the physical universe.
“It seems to me.” he suggests, “that
these rays ("the Roentgen rays) may
have a possible way of transplanting
intelligence which, with a few reason¬
able postulates, may supply the key to
much that fs obscure in physical re¬
search. Let it be assumed that these
rays, or rays of even higher frequency,
can pass into the brain and act on
some nervous center there. Let it be
conceived that the brain contains a
center which uses these rays as the
vocal chords use sound vibrations
(both being under the command of in¬
telligence) and sends them out with
the velocity of light to impinge on the
receiving ganglion of another brain.
In this same way the phenomena of
telepathy and the transmission of in¬
telligence from one sensitive to anoth¬
er through long distances seem to
come into the domain of law and can
be grasped."
This undoubtedly is the explanation
that most strongly commends itself to
those scientists who courageously ac¬
knowledge their belief in telepathy.
?s T or do they see any objection to it in
the fact that people apparently are af¬
fected by the telepathic impulse only
at certain times, for the brain of both
sender and receiver may conceivably,
on the analogy of wireless telegraphy,
be set to transmit and receive tele¬
pathic communications only when at¬
tuned to vibrations of a certain ampli¬
tude.— H. Addington Bruce in Hamp¬
ton Magazine.
Modern Husbands.
Lady Nevill in her reminiscences
talks of the decadence of the day as
reflected in the lives of women. "The
fact Is,’’ she says, "that in a great
many cases modern woman—in Eng¬
land, I mean—is spoiled. Many have
no Interests and too much time on
their hands, with the result that they
will take up some fad. As for the
well to do, a great number of them
now seem to completely dominate
their husbands. This struck the old
shah of Persia very much. “It seems
to me.’ said he. ‘that an English or
American husband is nothing better
than a sort of butler.”’
Lincoln Jolted Seward.
Uncle Billy Green of Illinois was
Lincoln’s partner in the grocery at Sa¬
lem. At night, when customers were
few, he held the grammar while Lin¬
coln recited his lessons. At Lincoln’s
first inaugural banquet Green sat at
the table on the president’s left, with
the dignified Secretary Seward on the
right. Lincoln presented the two men
to each other, saying. “Secretary Sew¬
ard. this is Mr. Green of Illinois.”
Seward bowed stiffly, when Lincoln ex¬
claimed: “Oh. get up. Seward, and
shake bauds with Green. He’s the
man that taught me my grammar.”—

BIRTH OF COLONEL BOGY.
Origin of the Term That Has Become
a Part of Golf.
"Wh'> is Colonel Bogj ?” That is the
first qiestiou usually asked by the re
crult when he steps on the golf links
Professionals and veterans never tire
of explaining that Ue is the imaginary
opponent, with the fixed score for each
hole, but few can tell how the name
originated.
it generally is accepted that an Eng¬
lishman was first to set forth the idea
In December, 18'JO, the scratch score of
the Coventry course was taken, being
the score that a good scratch player
would take to each hole of the grounds,
making uo mistakes, but also fluking
nothing nor being fortunate with any
special flashes of brilliant play.
At the time they called this “the
ground score." and later several tour¬
naments were given under the system
The name, however, followed soon, and
its origin was a curious one. Dr.
Thomas Browne. R N.. went out to
play against a friend. Major Charles
A. Wellman, and they agreed instead
of playing directly against each other
to play against the ground score and
decide their match accordingly as each
fared in this way. It so happened that
about the same time the bogy song
was being sung by the late E. J. Lon
nen at the l.oudon Gaiety theater, and
everybody else was singing it- The
words of the refrain were:
Hush! Hush: Hush!
Here comes the bogy man!
So hide your head beneath the clothes.
He’ll catch you if he can.
There was the idea in golf. “He'll
catch you if lie can!” And it flashed
across the mind of Major Wellman
when he was playing this game and
was getting “caught” by the ground
score. “Why.” said he to his friend
Browne, “this player of yours is a reg¬
ular ’bogy' man.” A considerable piece
of golf history was made in that
chance remark, for “bogy” was from
that moment established in golf. Some
time later "colouel” was added.—Ex¬

A WALRUS ON LAND.
The Awkward and Bulky Creature Is
Almost Helpless.
As might be expected, a walrus is
about as helpless ou land as a canal
boat. It is with no little difficulty and
much hitching and floundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon a sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from
behind by the breakers as they roll in
and dash against him.
His hind flippers are of little use on
land, aud ou sand or pebbles, where
his front flippers do not hold well, the
labor of floundering forward is so great
that he never stirs beyond the edge of
the water aud usually lies with his
body half awash, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents of rain
Ou soiid rock or ice lie gets along
much better, and often n herd will
spread several rods back from the wa
ter’s edge.
The females and younger walruses
have far less development of neck to
incumber them and therefore enjoy
more freedom of motion than the old
males, who actually seem a great bur
deu to themselves These creatures
are strictly social in their habits and
always go in herds, whether traveling,
feeding, fighting or resting ashore in
the days before the slaughter of all
living creatures became a ruling pas
slon in the breast of man the Bacifie
species inhabited the whole of Bering
sea and strait in herds which often
contained thousands and even tens of
thousands of individuals.
Gave Himself Away.
A man who is steadily employed
finally had a day off and decided to go
fishing, taking his luncheon with him
When he reached the creek he discov
ered that he had dropped the lum-D
packet somewhere on the road and
hastened back to look for it. l’reseut
ly he met a husky negro, who was
looking happy and picking his teeth
"Did you Unci anything on the road
as you came along?” asked the gentle
man.
“No. sah.” answered the negro “1
didn’t find nothing. Couldn't a dog
have found It and eat It up?”—Every¬
body's.
"Man. composed of clay, is silent and
ponderous." preached Jean Baulin in
the fifteenth century, “but woman
gives evidence of her osseous origin by
the rattle she keeps up. Move a sack
of earth and it makes no noise; touch
a bag of bones and you are deafened
with the clitter clatter.”
