San Francisco Post 1 . Aping Things American. ' t . .Human nature is imitative, and in all countries prcne to ape customs and things foreign. An' American writer in London declares that Americans are no more given to aping things English than are Englishmen to aping things American. : This writer recently found a London swell strutting in one of the parks with ah American corncob pipe in his- mouth. - It was soon all the rage, iaud the smoke of this cheap American article has probably gone hp in many a fashionable club. One of these swells, be ing reminded that corncobs were smoked by common folks in America, replied - satirically, "But then, ;'tis American, doncher know !"

Let -us take as a type a form of 'apparition" that is visible and vocally audible, but not tangible, ' that cannot produce changes in ordinary physical objects, that cannot be photographed, whose audibility and visibility, whether . tele- pathio or not, are at least not dependent on our present normal senses. j - Let ns now suppose that immediately after death such an apparition of the deceased was invariably seen and heard; that it affirmed itself to be thedeceased ; that it exhibited such knowledge as the deceased possessed while inhabiting the ordinary organism, and so on; that if affirmed itself to be still: "living" undei very different conditions, most of which were alleged to be inexplicable to us in terms of our present environment Let ns suppose that "arrangements for meet ings could be made with the apparition ; that the apparition, except perhaps foi its occasional disappearance for hours or days, explained by the necessity of ful filling certain duties in its new sphere, behaved in general, as regards recogni tion by living -persons and its rational and social relations with them, much as an ordinary living person does, the mam exception being that he is not embodied like us.

The river I could faintly see black and cold. I could even bear tbe sound of! its outgoing waters a gurgling, chuckling, ' crunching sound. Jthey sang a mirthless, monotonous sonsr. A barge swept past. One tall, solitary fig- ore was at the helm. He stood alone on . the dank flatboat,' motionless," silhouetted against the gray mist. ' Ho, too, was part of tbe sebeme of desolation. - In the street, beneath my window, a barrel organ began to play a rauflo ball tune, Two children appeared and com menced dancing.
