Communication is Possible
Between Distant Minds
— •
A despatch from Paris says :—The
human brain is capable of the emis-
sion of radiographic waves which,
harnessed and reduced to code, will
create a method of communication be-
tween distant minds as perfect as
that developed by wireless telegraphy.
This is the sensational conclusion of

and Psychopathy at the University
of Milan as a result of his investiga-

EXPERIMENTS WITH MAN SOWN CROPS
Some of Ontario's valuable cash
crops are sown in the Autumn. The
market value of these crops this year
will probably be upwards of $25,000,-
000. Winter wheat and whiter rye
are grown in practically all of the
counties in Ontario.
For best results it is important to
sow pure, large, plump, well matured,
sound seed of the best varieties. Ex-
periments at Guelph and throughout
Ontario show the great value' of the
0. A. C. No. 104 and the Dawson's
Golden`Chalf (O.A.C. No. 61) of the
white wheats and the Imperial Amber
of the red wheats. •
Valuable niaterial will be sent out
from the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege\to Ontario farmers wishing to
conduct experiments on their own
farms. The material will be supplied,
free of cost, to those who wish to
conduct the experiments and report
the results after harvest next year.
Any Ontario farmer may apply for
the material for any one of the fol-
lowing experhnents: (1) Three choice
varieties of winter wheat; (2) One
variety of winter rye and one o • al o.
winter wheat; (3) Spring applica-
tions of five fertilizers with winter
wheat; (4) Autumn and spring appli-
cations of nitrate of soda arid com-
mon salt with winter wheat; (5) win-
ter emmer and winter barley; (6)
Hairy vetches and winter rye as fod-
der crops; (1) Mixtures of winter rye
and hairy vetches for seed produc-
tion; (8) Testing 0.A.C. No. 104 win-
ter wheat at three dates of seeding;
(9) Testing Dawson's Golden Chaff
(0.A.C. No. 61) winters wheat at three
dates of sieeding.
The size of each plot is to be one
rod wide by two rods long. Fertilizers
wia be- sent by express for Experi-
ment No. 4 this autumn, and for Ex-
periment NO. -3 next spring. All seed
will -be sent by mail except that for
No. 4 which will accompany the fer-
tilieers. The material will be sent
out in the order in which the appli-
cations are received and as long as.
the supply lasts.

Here is something which will often

at least fifty yards of floe bait casting

a big fellow in fast water you have
either to -let him run a while and tire

There are two ways of fishing Nipi-

wet or dry ties. The dry files are the
floaters, and the wet flies are those
that sink on contact with the water.

Bait casting, however, is a sport in

• Dirtiest on Earth. -
Tibet is famous for many things, but
few people know that the dirtiest place
In the world 1.s to be found in the land
of the Lamas.
It is a village, Phari-jong by name,
situated on a piece of rising ground in
the centre of a plain not manymiles
from Mt. Chomolhari, one of the finest
mountains in Tibet. It stands over
14,000 feet above sea -level, and is be-
lieved to be the highest place in con-
tinuous habitation in the weld. It
was built someffve hundred years ago.
Phari consists of a fortress, sur-
rounded by two hundred hovels. Ow-
ing to the fact that everything which
we would throw into our. garbage can
is there siniply thrown nut, these
hovels are now below the level of the
ground. Year by year the heaps of
rubbish have grown, until the occu-
piers of the "houses" have had to cut
paths through them from their front
doors to the road.
In spite of its "buried" look, how-
ever, Phari is one of the leading "mar-
ket towns" of Tibet. There is a re-
spectable bungalow in the village, kept
up by the Indian Government for the
use of its representatives, and it was
here that the last Mt. Everest expedi-
tion arranged to stop when carrying
out their exploraticn of tho nearby
mountain. Phari is also in postal and
telegraph communication with India.

his own fortune; he must :ay the

In Northern Luzon, in the Philippine
Islands, is a big tribe of savages known
as Mangyans. Thele people are so
backward in ciiilization that not one
of them can count -up to more than

• The most highly educated members
of the tribe can, by using the fingers,
count to ten but_no more, In ease one;

would have to use his toes as well as
his fingers, the thought of using the
fingers twice never entering their,
minds. .
These Mangyans have apahouse.a, but
travel from place to place, living all
their days in forests and jungles. They
never see cultivated fruits or vege-
tables and have no grain.
Their food consists of roots, berries,,
wits and such things. Their idea of a
real banquet is to have crocodile meat,
snakes, snails and a special species of
White grub which they dig out of de-
cayed trees.
