"Of . course there was an idea In that ; but the minute you come to think It over seriously you see that there Is really nothing to It. To make the wheels of time turn slower yqu'd have to have, something more than molasses. I have thought that perhaps we might Invent some sort of brake, a very pow erful brake, for this purpose, but I guess there's really nothing In this Idea, either.

An astonishing number of books on occult subjects are being published in these days, especially on lln?s relating to the future life, the theme taking on a new Interest because of the war and Its losses. One writer, Prof. W. J. Crawford of Belfast, Is dealing with stalled spirit manifestations In a new way. For one thing, he has tried seating the medium on a weighing ma-, chine while the manifestations are going oh and watching the varying record of her weight. He has found that where a chair or table was levl .'tated an increase In her weight almost corresponding to the weight of the piece, of furniture was noted. When there were rapplngs her weight les sened, the amount lost varying with the Intensity of the sounds.

Home of the geniuses of earlier gen erations would have a hard time of It with civilian rations In Europe. Many of them are still remembered for their appetites. Thackeray and <- Dickens were both masterful at the table. Bal zac was equal to making a dinner of eight dozen oysters, twelve cutlets, a duck, a pair of partridges, and all the customary "trimmings." Herbert Spencer once went upon a vegetable diet, and declared that after he return ed to meat he had to rewrite every thing he did In the interval to get vfrlV Ity Into It. ; Regardless x>f the effect on genius, rationing Is spreading. Even walk ing sticks have come under govern mental control In England, and pre sumably a prospective purchaser will soon have to present a license to carry such an ornament. ? Nation's Business.
