The miracle of life itself the fact that to certain material processes consciousness is added can never be explained, Prot Hans Berger of the University of Jena, Germany, now declares in a report to Research and Progress. Professor Berger is the man who started the wave of experiments on what are popularly known as brain waves. These are the tracings on paper of the electric currents which arise in the brain. All activities of life are accompanied by electrical impulses, the current thus produced being caUed bioThe English scientist, electric. Caton, was the first who showed that electric currents arise in the brains of the higher animals, dogs and apes. Fifty years later, in 1924, Professor Berger showed the existence of these currents in man and devised a method of leading these currents off from the brain so that they can be amplified and charted or recorded, appearing as wavy lines on paper. Brain Always Active. Recent study has shown that these waves vary during sleep, consciousness, mental activity, under the influence of anesthetics or sedative drugs, and in certain diseases. Though the waves are different under differing conditions, they are always present, showing that the human brain like the human heart is continually active. Study of the currents from the brain will, it is hoped, givi valuable information about various mental disorders, much as similar studies of the currents from the heart tell certain important things about the condition of that organ. But apparently they will not shed much light on the question of what makes life. No answer can be given. Professor Berger says, to the question of whether the electric tension that is seen in the main vibrations of the brain waves merely accompanies the vital processes or whether it does just the work necessary to produce consciousness.

" When Jim was a kid of sixteen, his uncle took him out to California to live. That was in 1914. His uncle owned a big farm in Yuba county, about three miles outside of the town of Marysville. About a week after Jim arrived at the farm, his uncle hitched V(n They Were Encouraged by a Lot of Rowdy Alumni. WHAT IS A COLLEGE? CAME about that early one during the Days when ITAutumn, the Ipples and the Yls were K1 rushing the Freshmen, looking for Saxophone Players, there came to the Campus of Bingham an old Grad who had been a Football Uero away back yonder. He had with him the Only Son, just out of Prep School, the Offspring was a Husky who looked like an Incipient Lumberjack and walked like a Sailor. He was thrice welcome at good old Bingham because he had all the of a Bird who might of his Iltravel In the lustrious Dad and butt large Irregular Holes In the opposing Elevens and especially the hated Atwater. Now It happened that Beef Hinkle, the honored Alumnus whose Achievements on the Gridiron were preserved In the Folk Lore of the School, had been a classmate of Erasmus Twlgg, D. D. L. L., Fh. D., etc., now the honored Prexy. Beef had kept on bucking the Line and mussing up the Opposition after copping his Degree and It was generally agreed that he had put away more Kale than you could load on an Army Truck. For every Degree that Erasmus had annexed, "Beef had swiped another Hunk of Ear-Mar- Foot-Step- blood-soake- Currency. One operated In the quiet Cloisters and the other was up to his Neck ln Battle. One was the Apostle of Scholasticism and the Other was the Disciple of Rough and Tumble, but when they met on the Campus they were just like a couple of Twins, for they had sung in the same Glee Club In the Days of Yore, and-ea- ch had a large and glowing admiration for the other. "Beef explained to Erasmus that he had brought the Kid back to the dear old Knowledge Works so as to head him In the right direction and be sure that he got all the Education he could stand. ANYTHING POSSIBLE THESE to the College. Erasmus said that the average busy student was so with House Parties, Dramatics, Jazz Bands, Dally Papers, Pop Sessions and other extraneous Forms of Excitement that he seemed to regard Recitations as a Side Issue.

That bit of paper blew right The front horses reared. The Says Jim: y to them for five minutes before It seemed to him that they were calmed down. Then he took a chance. He let go of the reins and reached down to see if he couldn't free his leg. All I could see was blood, he says, and try as I might, I couldn't pull my leg loose. Those discs were six or seven Inches apart at the top, but at the front they came together at the middle, and my ankle was ln between two of them, I was lucky enough to have a pocket knife with me, and if it hadnt been for that I guess Id have been there yet With the aid of the knife I was just barely able to reach back between the blades and cut my shoe lace.

With every step those horses took I could feel a couple feet I was dragging along the ground between four crazy horses and twelve circular knives sharp enough to make mincemeat out of me. Each one of those discs weighed about twenty pounds, and all I could do was pray the plow wouldn't hit a bump and come down on top of me. The horses dashed on down the field, dragging Jim with them. They were almost at the end of the field when the thing Jim most feared happened. The plow hit a bump, leaped up and forward. It came down on Jims right leg and he felt a stab .. of pain about his ankle. They were almost at the end of the field now. Ahead of them was the fence that ran alongside of the main road. The horses ran up to the fence and came to a stop. But still Jim didn't let go of the reins. They were still nervous those horses. They might bolt again at any moment. Jims leg was bleeding still stuck between two sharp blades of the plow. But he didnt dare try to get it out. One move might set the horses to running again.

Right behind him was that razor-bladeplow a plow that slashed through the hard, frostbitten ground as if it was so much cheese. Imagine what that plow would do to Jim if it went over him. d "They have got to go out and mix with Folks In a very Intimate Way and Make Friends and cause the Communities In which they live to To get sit up and take Notice. away with the assignment they must have something which no studious Young Person can get out of Books or In a Laboratory.
