not understand what the great excite¬ 
ment was about. The horses had come 
to a halt, one of them, a big gray about 
the size of our Tom. was looking around 
at me as if to say: “Old man, I’m mighty 
glad I didn’t hit you with my hoof. You’ll 
have to excuse me. I did the best I could 
to stop.” As the captain held onto me 
I saw mother looking around the wagon, 
not frightened or screaming, but with 
good nerve and courage. I noticed, how¬ 
ever, that when she wrote out my name 
and address for the inevitable policeman 
that her hand trembled a little—and no 
wonder. As for me, the only thing I 
could think of to say was: “Where’s my 
hat?” It was safe, within about three 
inches of one of those big hoofs—as if 
the owner of the hoof had tried not to 
strike it. You will think it strange for a 
respectable citizen like the Hope Farm 
man to have such thoughts, but as I 
walked away from the scene of this ex¬ 
ploit I wondered if the blow with which 
Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring 
had more power to it than the punch that 
wagon tongue gave me! No harm was 
done. I never stopped one hour from my 
work. Most of the yelling crowd seemed 
far more interested than I Was. I shall 
keep out of such situations hereafter—but 
do I believe there is any such thing as a 
subconscious mind? I do not know. No 
man ever saw it, but how did it happen 
that all those memories of horses and 
danger came flooding up just at that in¬ 
stant in the face of danger? You may 
answer that if you can ! h. w. c. 
Human Waves; a New Language 
Readers of The R. N.-Y. know we 
have believed for some time that the 
future is to see a great development in 
telapathy, or what we may call thought 
communication between humans—with¬ 
out audible language. It is evident that 
animals now possess something of this 
strange power. It is quite likely that 
primitive man made far greater use of 
signs and of “instinct” than we now do. 
It is probable that the blind and the deaf 
will be foremost in developing this new 
.science, for every blind or deaf man 
knows that many strange things enter 
their solitude at times. The following 
statement is now going about the press. 
It started in Paris, and we believe the 
statements here made are well worth con¬ 
sidering : 
Human and other living beings down 
to the very smallest insects send forth in¬ 
visible waves, according to George Lak¬ 
hovsky, wireless expert, who has been 
studying these mysterious radiations. He 
says we are on the eve of a sensational 
discovery.” 
“I believe all individuals possess their 
respective waves,” said Lakhovsky, “and 
I hope soon to identify and classify them. 
It was when studying an animal’s eye 
that I became convinced that the words 
‘instinct’ and ‘special sense’ were merely 
invented in order to hide our ignorance. 
“Experiments have shown me that ani¬ 
mals’ sense of direction must be explained 
by an emanation of a special, very short 
wave, which they can also receive. Thus 
alone can the assurance of the migrating 
birds be explained, flying day and night 
across the seas toward a goal they cannot 
see in search of insects which they no 
longer can find in our climes when Win¬ 
ter approaches. All night-flying birds, 
such as owls and bats, also are irresisti¬ 
bly attracted by waves emanating from 
their prey.” 
Quoting Prof. Fabre, Mr. Lakhovsky 
also referred to the Scandinavian lem¬ 
mings for their extraordinary occasional 
migrations across all obstacles, climbing 
mountains, swimming rivers and lakes 
and never deviating from a direct line to¬ 
ward the sea. Here again, he said, the 
only explanation possible was that they 
were guided by waves emanating from 
the small fish the lemmings feed upon. 
“I also wms struck by the fact that 
certain insects possess tiny antennm, and 
I don’t believe nature does anything with¬ 
out good reason,” he said, adding: 
“How do the blind fish move at the bot¬ 
tom of the sea. I am perfectly convinced 
that they react to invisible waves. With 
them it is purely a reflex which is as 
spontaneous as the instinct of reproduc¬ 
tion. 
“But I am also certain of the exist¬ 
ence of human waves, which Prof. Blon- 
diot called ‘N rays.’ Ilis theories were 
contradicted by many colleagues, but 
since then -we have progressed and stand 
on the threshold of proof of the exist¬ 
ence of these human rays and their util¬ 
ization. 
“This will mean much to medical sci¬ 
ence. The time will come when the doc¬ 
tor will be able by diagnosis of the radia¬ 
tions from patients to recognize the 
waves produced by certain microbes and 
locate their presence. By means of coun¬ 
ter rays if will, perhaps, be possible to 
nullify their effects.” 
M. Lakhovsky predicts still more won¬ 
derful things. He thinks that some day 
it will be possible to communicate at a 
distance between beings, and perhaps 
even talk with animals or understand 
them. 
Ilis waves would take one straight to a 
person sought, and criminals no longer 
would be able to hide when their rays 
were docketed under a sort of Bertillon 
system.
