But in laboratories the scientists take this low form of life and perform an experiment that would inte t you. Anyone studying the jellyfish would decide that it has no brains at all. When it needs food, it automatically opens like aclam and stays open until something eatable d along into its “mouth.” Then the contact of the bit of food causes a nerve reaction that makes the jellyfish close again—all by involuntary or automatic action, the same as when you touch a hot stove and immediately withdraw without pausing to whink it over. The scientists play a mean trick on the jellyfish. They put a chunk of yeast into its awaiting “jaws.” Pronto, the jellyfish clos nd starts digesting the yeast. But the yeast begins expanding. It continues swelling until the jellyfish is on the verge of exploding. Then suddenly the jellyfish opens up spasmodically and casts out the yeast. ‘The scientists are convinced that this action is semi-voluntary—that the jellyfish opens instead of the yeast forcing it open. 4 The experiment demonstrates what amounts to the begin- ning of thought. For, until fooled with a cargo of yeast, the jellyfish apparently never before in history opened to dis- gorge. According to the evolutionists, there was a time far back in the mists of history when our ancestors were as dumb as the jellyfish, when all action was involuntary, instinctive. Scme accident, such as the jellyfish getting a meal of yeast, probably started those ancient ancestors of ours along -the line of voluntary action. Will power began developing. So did memory. Then came a sense of curiosity, the desire to experiment—which is manifested by small children when they attempt to eat everything that comes their way and looks strange. You’ve had the experience of making baby spit out a button, pin, pebble or strange bug. “Will power, memory, curiosity, judgment and reasoning power are the foundations of human thought—of progress. -Can plant life think? You may believe so, if you have ever had a garden. Else what teaches the climbing plant, which has been creeping along the ground, to turn and fasten itself to the supporting twig you place for it in the soil? Surely, in this, are the faint rudiments of thought processes. “~All this may be skating on thin scientific ice, but it’s in- teresting to ponder. And so-called exact scientific knowledge is never definitely established, for principles accepted as truths frequently are exploded in later generations. In this ‘direction, Einstein has upset a lot of “established” science. We refer the question to the interesting organization, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plant Life, which +beBieves it is as cruel and painful to root out a hill of potatoes £s to butcher a steer. : KIDDING? <A@thony Speiza, who weighs 385 Ibs., left home in New- ark, N. J., for a visit with his folks in Sicily. Coming back ‘oH-the ocean liner, jesting passengers told him: “Haven't you heard the news? ‘While you were away Congress passed @ law—they’re not letting anybody weighing over 300 enter the United States.” * For a week Tony, worked tooth-and-nail to take off 85 pounds. He starved himself. He ran up and down the ship's ‘deck, in the hot sun, until he almost collapsed. At Ellis fsland they told him he’d been hoaxed. He’s happy now, fomewhere in Ohio. é Don’t set Tony down as an easy mark. He knows Amer- ta, has lived here years. And maybe it’s not ag improbable as some of us think, that Congress might pass such a law. You never can tell what they’ll do next, in Washington. JAPAN = Japan is unable to sell to other countries as much as she is buying from them. In one month the “adverse trade bal- gnce” against her is close to 129 million dollars. That means, going in the hole at the rate of about one and a half billion @ollars a year. * This little bit of statistics will have a lot to do with shap- ing Japanese diplomacy in the next few years.

People you never would believe could happen anywhere. Not even in fairy tale books. Long before the Twins got to Sneeze Town with Mister Sky Bow, they heard a loud a-cnooing and louder nose blowing that sounded like the Fourth of July. The sneez- ing sounded like whizzers and the nose blowing sounded. like firecrack- ers, When they Sneeze Town, the place for handkerchiefs line, But soon a Sneezy saw them and called a greeting. “Hello!” he shouted. “Come and have some snuff und get a nige red nose.

Jerny marries Giusanpe Doria, who works for her uncle, Bendigo. They..go to live in Italy where Jenny's uncle Albert. Redmayne lives, Peter Ganns, famous Ameri- can detective, assists. Brendon in the investigation. When Doria is arrested Jenny is killed by the bul- let intended for her husband when she throws herself in front of him to save his life. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ‘Her grandfather still lived, when first. I met her, and the extent or disposition of his wealth seldom en- tered our calculations, But a year passed: Jenhy “was ready to wed me and begin life as my twin star; while F longed for her with a great longing. The sit- uation cleared; her grandfather died; she would presently be the Possessor of ample means and I al- ready enjoyed an income from’ the business of Pendean and Trecarrow. Then came the war and the .sen- tence of death incidently pronoune- ed by that event upan the brothers Redmayne. Their own folly and lack of vision were alone responsi- ble. “I did not argue with them; it was enough that Jenny swiftly awakened to even a bitterer hatred and a deeper fury of resentment than myself. They had roused the sleeping tempest and our lightning now became only a question of time. I evaded active service ‘with a heart drug, as did some thousands of other intelligent men. I kept a whole skin, stopped at home and re- ceived for my share the Order of the British Empire instead of a name- less grave. It was ensy enough. Meahtime we volunteered and our record of service at Princetown Moss Depot is not to be assailed. :Already my. future intention was coloring my life. I grew a beard, wore glasses and pretended delicacy of constitytion; for after the war was done I intended murdering three men; and I proposed to do so in such a manner that society would find it impossible to associate ine with the crimes, f We pretended an affection for Dartmoor. As an example of our far-reaching methods I. may relate how we returned to the ‘wilderness after the war was done and actually began to build a bungalow upon it, whith, needless to say, we never had the least intention of occupying. Thad designed first to ‘destroy Bendigo and Albert Redmayne, who had never seen me, and finally deal with my old friend, Robert; but it was he who came at the critical mo- ment as a lamb to the slaughter and so inspired the superb concep- tion now familiar to the civilized world. The time was ripe to pluck these men who had insulted and outraged me; and when Bendigo Redmayne advertised for a motor boatman, the challenge was accepted. I forged certain foreign letters of commenda- tion, He liked Italians, from ex- perience of them aboard ship, and he appreciated my letter and my imaginary war record. What was the next step? An en- treaty from Jenny that I should shdve my beard!’ She ‘begged again and again and appealed to Robert, who supported her. I withstood them until the day of his destrue- tion, Upon that morning I appeared Without it and they congratulated me. + Other ‘trifling preliminaries there were. “On one occasion, when my wife rode down to: Plymouth with her uncle on his motor bicycle, she left him to do some shopping and, visiting Burnell’s the theatri- cal costumer, she purchased a red for a woman. At’ home’ again she \transferred it‘into a red wig for a man, Meantime,I had made a pair of large mustaches, helping mysclf when Mrs. Gerry,2qur. landlady, was out of the way to brush of one ’of f Whose color éxactly ‘resembled the rufous adornments of Robert, Red- mayne.

The gloaming had long thickened to darkness when I went my way and laid the trail through Two Bridges, Postbridge and Ashburton to Brixham. Once only was I both- ered—at the gate across the road by Brixham coast-guard station; but I lifted the motor bicycle over it and presently ascended to the cliffs ,of Berry Head, Fate favored me in de tails, for, despite the hour, / thee were witnesses to every step of the route, On the cliff 1 emptied my sack, cast its stuffing to the winds, fast- ened my handbag to the _ bicycle, thrust the blood-stained sack into a rabbit hole, where it could not fail to be. discovered, and then returned to Robert Redmayne’s lodging at Paignton, There a telegrant had already been sent informing the landlady of his return that night. I changed into the serge suit, cap and brown shoes of Doria and pack- ed Redmayne's clothes, tweeds and showy waistcoat, boots and stock- ings into my, handbag with the wig and mustaches and my wegpon. I walked to Newton Abbot and reached that town before six o'clock. At the railway! station I hreakfasted and presently took a’ train to Dart- mouth. Before noon I reached ~ “Crow's Nest” and made acquaint- ance with Bendigo Redmayne. But he had little leisure for me at this moment, for there had al- ready come news from’ his nice. the mysterious fatality on moor. Needless to say that my thoughts were now entirely devoted to my wife and I longed for her first con- munication, Our briefest separation caused me pain, for our souls were as one and we had not been parted, save for my visit to Southampton, since our marriage day. ‘ It was hep exquisite thought to involve the man from Scotland Yard. When I sought to destroy him on Griante and believed that I had done so, the man displayed an ingenuity for which I Vid not give him credit and unconsciously laid the founda- tions of subsequent disaster. The letter which Bendiga Redmay- ne received, and supposed had come from his brother at Plymouth, was po:ted by Jenny on her journey to “Crow's Nest.” We had written it together a week earlier and studied her uncle’s indifferent penmanship very carefully before doing so. We proposed to let six months pass before the death of Bendigo Redmayne, and we were already con- templating details and considerin, how best to bring his brother bac upon the stage for the purpose of Ben’s destruction, when Mark Bren- don blundered in upon ustonce again. I swiftly brought Robert Redmay- ne to life; and though, with ore leisure for refinements, I should not have clothed him in his old at- tire, yet that crude detail possessed a value of its own and certainly served to deceive Brendon. Of subsequent events, most are so familiar that there is no need to re- trace them, My tears fall when I think of my incomparable Jenny and her as- through his skull like tounding mastery of minutine at “Crow's Nest”—her finessé and @x- quisite touch, her kittenlike—déli- cacy, her cat-like swiftness and sureness, The two beings involved were as children in her hands. Oh, Precious phoenix of a woman, you and I were of the same spirit, kneaded into our clay! T say that accident made a radical alteration of design vital, for 1 fad intended, on the night when Robert Redmayne would come and see Ben- digo, to murder the old sailor in his tower room and remove him before morning with my wife’s assistance. But the victim postponed his own destruction, for upon the night when his death was intended, during my Previous conversation with him touching Jenny, I had perceived, by his clumsy glances and evidence of anxiety, that samebats else was in the tower room—unseen. There was but one hiding place” and but one man likely to occupy it. I did not indicate that I had discov- ered the secret and it was not the detective who gave himself “away; ut, once alive to his presence, I swiftly marked a flash of light at one of the little ventilation holes in the cupboard and perceived that our sleuth stood hid within it. Having conveyed, the old sailor to the cave, where, on my recent run up the coast after dropping Bren- don, I had already looked in and lighted the lamp, I landed behind him and, as his foot . touched the shore the pole-axe fell. He was dead in’an instant and. five minutes lat, }er his blood ran-upon the sand. ~ Once more my amazing wife anf | parted for-a brief period and then I had the joy of-introducing her:to Itafy, where the remainder of our task awaited us. And now for Italy. in my'early manhood I had suffored 4 sad accident at ‘Naples, the secret fot which was. known. to my mother ahd myself alone. I. therefore ‘enter- taingd some grudge against ‘her country; but the fact at no time lessened my love for the south. «° (Continued in Our Next Issue) 4. t Sereetos { ugh j be ‘ ‘A righteous man regardeth ‘the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel—Proy, 12:1v- * * . \ There is no benntiige of complex- ion’ or form or behavior like wish to “neatter joy, a Emerson, It-is true that,* a Sel
