A Wichita Falls milling concern, as
the result of an order placed in Argen-
tine republic. Is distributing a cargo
of 5,000 aacks of oats. Because of un-
favorable weather conditions the aban-
doned acreage in both wheat and oats

. ean draw on Canada for wheat,England
for potatoes, Cuba for garden truck and
Argentine for cats, why can’t Texas—
when crops are abundant and manu-
factures plentiful—do a like amount of
export business? We preach our pro-
gress in production and its almost un
limited promises Incident to future de-
velopment. Why not encourage the sur-
plus shipment and the Texas sample

THE LUMINOUS HALO.
PayoMs Explanation of aa Oft WB*
1 was summoned one day to the Salt-
petriere to Paris to see a woman who
lay in a bed in the dark. She was a
woman whose body, nerves, brain, bed
been teased and tortured for years in
psychic and occult experiment. What
mental perturbation waa racking that
brain I did not know, and the physi-
cians at her bedside did not know.
With clinched hands and teeth and
eyes open wide the woman lay there.
Her breathing was irregular and not
deep What we saw was this: A lumi-
nous halo of a vague orange bus that
circled her head, even as in the old
pictures of martyred saints you see
the hea is mooned with faded gold. This
halo was fluctuant. It came and went
It was a light that flickered, grew,
faded, formed itself anew.
A miracle, this aureol.d head?
If you want to call it that. Words
are not of great Importance. It was a
miracle when it glowed around the
head of a martyr tortured in the arena,
so tortured by pain and fear that his
dissociated psychle centers produced
the phenomenon of the exteriorization
of luminous energy.
Perhaps It were better to call It at
once a miracle and a prescientitic fact
-a fact, that is, which is occult, but is
in the way of becoming known.
I asked Dr Frere what be thought
of thia miracle.
“1 have often seen it," he said. The
field of hie experiments was the mad-
house at Bleetre. There many neuro-
pathic patients abide, and often in
cases of severe headache or of reli-
gious ecstasy be has seen these fluctu-
ant aureoles around the head.
“The rays are often twenty centime-
-ors-in-extont-unite regular, forming,
perfect aureole,” be explained. -
There is, then, a form of energy en-
dowed with luminous proporttoe ema-
nating from the human body under
certain conditions.—Vance Thompson
in Hampton’s Magazine.

For the Information of the Star-Tel-
egram, the Times wishes to state that
every week, almost, the same mill that
made an import of oats from Argentine
ships out flour to Cuba, Brazil, Great
Britain and other foreign countries. If
the market conditions were favorable
this same mill would not hesitate to
ship wheat to Canada or to the Argen-
tine republic. One thing, the Wichita
mill runs day and night the year round
and a supply of raw material and a
market for the finished product is al-
ways found
Since the adjournment of the extra
session of the Thirty-first Legislature,
aspirants for the governorship are bob-
Nil up in nearly every section of the
State. More than half a dozen are now
engaged in giving to the press of the
State their views on various questions,
notably that of prohibition, and that it
will be the leading question In the
campaign next year for the governor-
ship there Is now but little doubt, This
is to be regretted. The question of
prohibition is a matter In which every
voter in Texas should have been given
an opportunity of expressing his views
at the ballot box, and had the recom-
mendations of the democratic party, as
expressed in the State convention, been
carried out by the Thirty-first legisla-
ture, this question would have been
settled that way. By not carrying out
the wishes of the dominant party, the
legislature has forced a division of the
democratic party on that issue, and it
now begins to look like the party will
be unable to unite.
Instead of having only one can-
didate, there will in all probability
be two—one the nominee of that wing
of the party which endorses State-
wide prohibition and another which fa*
vors local option. It to also very prob-
able, now, that the antis will have a
candidate of their own, and with three
candidates for governor, and all good
democrats, representing three distinct
factions or wings of the party, an In-
dependent republican—one of those
kind of democrats who vote the nation-
al ticket when it suits them, and if not,
some other ticket, with the united sup-
port of the republicans, win stand
about an even chance of being elected.
At nay rate, the contest will be warm,
and a hard fought one from start to
finish. As the legislature would not
allow the recommendations of the
democratic party to settle this trouble-
some question outside of party lines,
V the responsibility of a division in the
party, whether It be great or small,
must rest on the heads of those mem-
bers of the legislature who persistent-
ly failed and refused to carry out the
demands and recommendations of the
party which gave them their nomina-
tion.
THE LAND OF BIG GAME
British East Africa as It Appears to
th. Hunter.
A brown village of thatched buts
squatting in a trampled clearing of
the forest and backed by thickset trace
so closely laced with a living tapestry
of woven green that the aching tropic
sunlight can scarcely penetrate: slim,
naked blacks slipping like shadows
among the broad leaved bananas and
rubber trees, staring furtively aa your
bearers file slowly past them; a lone-
ly station far up or down river, where
a haggard white man sits to receive
tribute in the name of his trading
company, marks an outpost of eiviliza-
tion in this jungle land. And through
and under It all are the fevered glare
of sunlight, the ceaseless drowsy whis-
per of the woods, the hot, dry scents
of the Thched earth, or, if the rains
have come, all the land about will lie
cloaked in steaming vapor, the sultry
air as thick and humid as the air of a
greenhouse at home. There you have
the Kongo as the white man known it
—the Kongo or the jungle of Uganda.
But all of this to only a part of what
we have chosen to call and to picture
as the dark continent
For there, too, is the desert, widely
different in all its aspects from Kongo-
land. On the slope of the rising ground
that lifts from sea level at Mombasa
and climbs to nearly 8,000 feet before
it drops again to tbs lesser level of
Victoria Nyanza la another vast waste
as typical of Africa as this Jungle
country—the deeert. as it le called, the
plains of bush and grass. Six months
of the year—from October to April—
It llee half drowned under tropic rains.
From April to September only occa-
sional showers fall, and tbs wide pla-
teau grills under the storing sunlight,
all yellowing in the glare. Here upon
three uplands to found the greet vari-
ety of big game, the vast herds of
wild things that have made and still
make Africa the greatest shooting
country in the world. This to British
East Africa as the hunter knows it.-
