T 5 ©ETHI I, son of Raineses I of Egypt, father of Rameses the Great, and founder of the nineteenth dynasty, has coin/ to life again and is living In a dilapidated old houseboat on the Thames, near Staines, England. He comes to London every week and expounds the mysteries of Hindoo occultism to a large audience. At his feet, -drinking in every word of his somewhat unintelligible lectures, sit titled women, and a small sprinkling o'! titled men, representative of that intellectual society of England which Is fever ready to lend an attentive ear th the new, the weird, or the mysterious. Sethi I, in his reincarnated state, is thoroughly modern. He calls himself plain Frederick Thurston. For ten years he has lived alone in the Thames houseboat, delving deep into the secrets of the Hindoos. And all the while he had looked forward to the time when he can return to Egypt, not in the. guise of his former incarceration, but as the founder of a psychic city on the Alexandrian coast. “To this city,’’ he said to the writer, “people could coine from all parts of the world for mental and physical invigoration. People would live the simple life —simple food, eariy to bed and early to rise, simple speech,rdaneing and singing. There would lessons, lectures in mysticafand occult subjects,’ and everything would tend to develop the psychic qualities in the ’ inhabitants and the visitors.” Rut if Thurston cannot found this city at the moment he is losing no time in carrying on the work which it would do. He believes that the afternoons are wasted by the English Intellectuals. The mornings are given over to sleep, the evenings to entertainment and pleasure; it is only in the afternoons that kindred souls can be gathered from the far ends of the great city and the higher planes of intellectualism be developed, believes Thurston. And he has entered upon that work of development. In a little room in Regent street, not 50 paces from Piccadilly Circus, Thurston sits one afternoon a week and anewers the eager questions of the men and women who thirst for the knowledge of the Hindoo philosophers. The new Sethi I is a remarkablelooking man. Just above the average height, he has an enormous head crowned with an immense dome of a forehead. Across his temples and the shining expanse of his half-bald head run great protruding veins. But the strangest thing about this most extraordinary man is his uncanny facial resemblance to the Egyptian ruler of whom he claims to be a reincarnation. Compare his profile with that of the mummy of Sethi I and it is difficult to put your finger on a point of difference. There is the same sweep of the full forehead, the same long nose, the same repressive lips and, allowing for the sinking of the chin with age,’ the same formation of the lower jaw. The resemblance of the ears and the back of the head is even more exact. The process of reincarnation, while reproducing the outward form of the original, has played an odd trick in other respects. It has put the soul of this famous Egyptian ruler in the body of a Thames-side recluse, who

WORLD’S OLDEST MUSEUM

Dr. Otto Kummel, head of the East Asiatic department of the Berlin museum of ethnology, tells of the oldest museum in the world in the bulletin of the Societe Franco-Japonaise. This museum may be found in' the city of Nara, the former capital of Japan. Since its foundation, in 75G, it has gone through all the changes of the Japanese empire without one single addition to its collection. Dr. Otto

Dog His Alarm Clock. Samuel Forsythe of North Fairmont, a suburb of Cincinnati, believes he has the best dog on earth, as he does not need an alarm clock to wake him in the morning to be in time for work. His dog, which is only a mongrel, does it for him. Forsythe says that he spent much thne in learning that the dog could ’rouse him- p,y watching, he found b j g d O g invariably awakened at t "® t the same time as Its master, so “retiring each night he tied a bell on

far from believing and practicing the religion of the original, is deep in the mysticism of the Hindoos; who is steeped in, practices and preaches the beliefs of a secret cult of Indians — the adepts of the Goathan temple hidden away in the soaring Himalayas. 16,000 feet above the level of the sea. where no white man has even penetrated. This religion is neither Buddhism, Theosophy, nor New’ Thought, but a strange mixture of all three. Its greatest vogue was reached forty centuries ago when the shrine of the Gosainthan, nestling in the snow of the Himalayas, the highest temple in the world, was known and revered throughout the length and breadth of India. The adepts of this religion, almost unknown-to the scientists' of the present day, have developed to an extraordinary extent the study of the mind in the spirit realm, w’hich is just beginning to take a firm hold upon the imaginations of thinking people all over the world. In the system of these Hindoo scholars there is a marked distinction betw-een what is known as metempsychosis, or a mere passing of the sohl, and reinI carnation, meaning the passing of the soul through flesh; as in the case of Thurston and the soul of Sethi I. Gosainthan is the chapel royal of the fabulously rich Maharajah of Napal, a semi-independent Indian rul|er who is. in treaty alliance with England. He, however, pays no tribute to the British, but every five yeant sent offerings of fruit and flowers to the emperor of China up to the time of that ruler’s abdication. Althoi>gh Thurston has never penetrated the sacred precincts of this Himalayan temple, he probably knows more about it than any ether white man. For some years fee a??ed as tutor and coach to a nuta’ber of Indian princes at Eton and from them he gathered many of the secrets of the strange cult. But, quite aside from that, he has traveled in the east, studying the wisdom which was of so much earlier perfection than our owm. He climbed many of the

ALBANIA FOR THE ALBANIANS

Much of Country Has Been as Inde- I pendent as Montenegro—People of Native Stock. “Albania for Albanians” may be one outcome of the Balkan war. The Italian duke of the Abruzzi, the intrepid Polar explorer, has been suggested as reigning prince of this brave people. Austria may have othqr plans. Like the Welsh in Britain and the Basques in Spain, the Albanians are a native stock. They speak the only original Balkan language. The Turks have not permitted the Albanian -tongue to be taught in schools. There is no literature,” no agreement even as to how it shall be written. Os the few who can write, some use Greek letters some the Roman. The Albanians themselves are nearly all Moslem#, but 400,000 Greeks, Serbs, Vlachs and Bulgarians in their land belong to the GreeS church. The famous seven highland clans of the north known ■ as the Malissori are Roman Catholic. Blood feuds, lack of roads and Turkish misgovernment make the interior the only’ part of Europe where ordinary travel is unsafe. One-quarter of all the deaths in the country are violent, either in clan warfare or in

Young men are sensitive to criticism; they like to have their own way; they chafe under restraint But as they grow older and more- experienced, they realize that a little wholesome criticism is a mighty good tonic for better results.

Himalayan peaks, talked with Hindoos of all degrees, many of whom had never seen a white man before, and made his way in disguise into the wilds of Thibet. Thurston is really a poet of rare power and at Cambridge he captured the chancellor’s gold medal, following in the footsteps of Tennyson and Byron. “At that time,” he said to me, “I intended to devote my life to poetry. But later I decided that it was more important to live poetry than to write it. I have been living it ever since. I live the year around on my houseboat on the Thames. I am up every morning at six o'clock and take a plunge in the river no matter what the temperature. Then I am ready for a couple of hours’ exercise. This takes the form chiefly of dancing. Breakfast out of the way, I am ready for a morning of study and meditation, for the knowledge of the mystics is inexhaustible and can never be wholly mastered.” Meanwhile the peculiar form of mysticism which Thurston ladles out to thirsty souls once a week in the room in Regent street is spreading rapidly among the upper class of English society. A full list of this 700 men and women who have already fallen under his spell would include most of the intelectual aristocracy. But while Thurston takes an extraordinary interest in the progress of all these disciples, his star pupil lives at Staines, not far from his houseboat. She is none other than Cora = Urquhart Rotter, the famous American actress. Mrs. Brown Potter has become so saturated with the Hindoo lore that she is now recognizer as an expert, and recently gave a lecture on the subject at the Ritz hote l She first became interested in ths subject during a tour in India and searched long but vainly there for a guide to the secrets which are so jealously guarded by the natives. It was not until she returned to England and accidentally met Thurston that her greatest wish was satisfied. In the Staines recluse she found the mentor she had so long sought.

{ODD CIVIC SHOWS

Queer English Election Ceremonies Seldom Heard Os. Water Is Drunk to the Memory of Sir Francis Drake—Perquisites of London’s Mayor—One Sheriff Fined 50 Pounds for Insult London. —There are several towns tn the, united kingdom which boast an annual show day. London’s lord mayor’s show, so far as the procession is concerned, has no rival; but, nevertheless, the election of mayors of provincial towns is attended with functions both interesting and curious. For instance, the annual election of the mayor of High Wycombe is not considered complete unless his worship is “weighed in.” The mayor, as well as each member of the corporation, takes a seat on a pair of gigantic scales, and the result is entered in a big book kept at the town hall for the purpose- It is declared that the custom dates back to the reign of Edward I. When a man reaches the mayorship of Plymouth he is supposed, according to an to pay at least one visit during his reign of office to the Lake of Burrator. When this function takes place the whole corporation turns out in all its finery, and, led by the mayor, journeys to the lake. Arriving there, two lines are formed, and a couple of ancient golden goblets, filled with water taken from the lake, are passed round from mouth to mouth. The mayor and corporation drink to the memory of Sir Francis Drake, who, when mayor of Plymouth, brought water to the town by means of a canal more than twenty miles in length. When the water placed in the goblets Is consumed the vessels are filled with wine, and the mayor, holding one at arm’s length, exclaims: “May the descendants of him who gave us water never want wine!” The visit to Burrator lake concludes with a feast, the first dish served being a sucking pig. The mayor of Peterborough’s show Is held every October, and his worship and the members of the corporation make their way to Bridge Fair, and declare it open from the bridge spanning the river. The bridge unites two counties —Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire —and the mayor, after adjuring all visitors to the fair’to conduct themselves soberly and civilly, goes on to declare that “the fair may be held as well in Northamptonshire as in Huntingdonshire today, tomorrow and the da> afterward.” A very ancient custom is the presenting to London’s mayor and mayoress every year a selection of pears, apples and grapes by the master of the Fruiterers’ company and the general purposes committee of the city of London. It is interesting to know that in earlier times the lord mayor of London was entitled to a proportion of every consignment of fruit arriving in the metropolis by ship. The axaction of tjlis due caused a good deal of disagreement in days gone by, and it was finally arranged that a yearly presentation of fruit should be accepted in its place. Ever since the days of William the Conqueror, the chief magistrate of the cii/ has received four bucks from the Royal forests, while e,ach sheriff has received three bucks, and the recorder, the common sergeant, the chamberlain and other city officials one each. Since the title of lord mayor was bestowed on Sir Thomas Legge by Edward 111., in 1354, the high office has carried with it all manner of titles and dignities. In early days he sometimes used his ;:ower to the disadvantage of those in office under him. For instance, Harrison, referring to the Iprd mayor for the year 1479. says: “This year Thomas Byfield, one of the

Camden, N. J.—ln an address at the Camden high school, F. Hopklnson Smith, writer and artist, said that “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” had more harm than any other book/ever written. He added that the general condition of the negro had not improved since the Civil war, and that the negroes of the south were happier,, better cared for and more content in the days of slavery than they were now. Mr. Smith’s criticism of Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was based on his belief that the book gave the world an erroneous conception of the negroes’ life and condition before the war. He said the chief incidents in Mrs. Stowe’s work were such as never could have happened in the south He attributed much of the bitterness that prevailed in the south years before the war to “misinformation conveyed broadcast” by “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mrs. Stowe, he said, was to be blamed only for making such use of incidents that came to her knowledge at second hand. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.,” as a whole, he insisted, was a highly colored caricature that did not reflect real life in the south.

FIGHTS AGAINST HER BABIES

•s Children, Two, Three and Four Years Old, Are Kept at Cradle Age by Mother. Cleveland, Ohio. —In a little kitehen at her home, Mrs. Mood Thol has battled with nature for years secretly in an effort to keep time from touching her babies. Around her feet crept three children, two, three and four years old. Victims of a strange code her ingenuity devised to prevent them advancing beyond the cradle, they laughed, kicked their feet and waved their hands as she crooned over them. The eldest boy did not creep faster or with greater ease thap the younger ones. He mumbled incoherently, and tugged at his mother’s dress and slobbered over a little bib, when she tickled him beneath the chin. He is barely larger than a child of two years and apparently has not advanced intellectually beyond the cradle. To further defeat their development, the mother has never fed them anything except baby food. What lay beyond the door, through which a stranger never passed, they had no idea. Neighbors say the woman never took her children away from home. Occasionally in the hot summer, they say, she would wheel them away in the darkness, but always guarding them I closely from the gaze of any persons. She has a strange desire to always keep them babies,” Deputy Sheriff Sobczak said. “The four-year-old boy cannot talk or walk. He is not as large as an ordinary youngster of eighteen months old.” Several days ago William James.

STUDENT HUNTS BUG Member of Entomological Staff Tells of Expedition. Small Beetle-Like Insects Are Never Known to Venture From Crevices During Daylight—Rare Species Are Werth $25. Washington.—Housewives who wage incessant war on cockroaches and other vermin are cautioned by entomologists to stay their hands and inquire carefully into the antecedents of any black beeltelike bug which peers around a corner of the kitchen sink. For the visitor may be none other than one of the amblychila baren! cicindelidae, the most aristocratic family in bugdom, whose members retail at as much as $25 apiece, provided they are delivered with limbs and feelers intact A former student of the University of Chicago, who is now on the entomological staff of the department of agriculture at Washington, a few days ago described his expedition into the native haunts of the amblychila. which he explored long enough to gather in considerable pin money by the sale of whole families. “When I learned the baroni had been seen in an obscure part of Arizona only about half a dozen bugs were known to entomologists,” said the investigator. “One of these was in the Leconte and Horn collection in Philadelphia. Most of the others were in the River collection in San Fran cisco. , “The first had been caught near Globe, Arlz. A naturalist named Schaeffer also located a few southeast of foogales, Arlz. I was familiar with the characteristic of the creatures through my studies under Curator Snow of the University of Kansas, now deceased, and when he invited , me to join a party into the mountains of Arizona to hunt the amblychila I was glad to go as if there had been buried treasure at the end of the journey. i “We found conditions favorable at ' Peach Springs, near Ashford, Ariz. From there we went into the mountains. There were no amblychila to be seen, but we acted on the general supposition that they were in this neighborhood. We spent several days moving about in the mountains and finally selected a favorable spot for the bug to appear. “Now, the amblychila baroni family is most exclusive and has never been known to come forth in bread daylight. Twilight and an hours before dawn are supposed to be the times when they appear. We tried several twilights and several dawns without result. One night a light rain fell and we agreed that the dampness might invite the bugs out, although it made it decidedly uncomfortable for us. “That night we scattered over the hills and kept watch near crevices in the rocks. I lay with my head resting on my elbow watching innumerable insects and bugs crawl by in the shady light. Finally I saw the long? black feelers of what might be one of the appear, and then another. I waited until they got well out of the crevice, for they are decidedly cautious creatures, then' scooped the two up in my hand. By their struggles I knew that I had the right species. No bug struggles as hard as the baroni. Then I stuck them into a small par of cyandie of potassium which I carried. The fumes' killed them quickly. ( “ “I sold a number of my amblychilai baroni for $25 r.nd some for sls and $lO. Our expedition multiplied the number of know specimens consider-' ably and the price went down a little. I don’t know how many specimens our entire party capfured, but altogtheri the expedition was a success from a i monetary as well as an tentomological standpoint”

He continued the investigation until he made sure the children were not imbeciles. « James and Sobczak went to the house, arrested the woman and took her to the City hospital. The children will be placed in an infant institution. ROBS IN MALE ATTIRE Young Woman Arrested as Burglai Says Man Induced Her to Commit Crime. * Danbury, Conn.—Disguised in male attire. Amy Travers, a pretty 22-year old girl, entered the apartments o| Georoge Trumbley shortly after midnight and stole $22 from the pocket of Mr. Trumbley, who was asleep in the room. The girl, who had never been ar rested before, accused George Smith of having induced her to commit the crime. Smith has a criminal record in Connecticut cities. The girl said she retained only $4 of the stolen money, giving the remainder to Smith. The man denied this, but the police found the money in his shoes. Miss Travers was released on bonds furnished by a relative. She will be arraigned in the police court Monday. Detectives who have been investigate ! ing a series of burglaries arrested the girl at her home this afternoon. She said Smith furnished her with the clothing she tvore when she visited Trumbley’s apartments. She denied having participated' in any other burglaries.
