One of the remaikablc features of modern
urban development IB the growing tendency
to do away with Individual effort In provid
ing ir.any of the material comforts of our
n'ncteoath century civilization. It to coming
to bo more and more the case that Iho
common necec-sltlcs which every household
requires arc not supplied by each family for
Ittc'.f , but trc seat out from great central
establishments which supply a district of
gtcfttcr or laea extent , according to the
nature df-lho commodity they handle. Once
each fh6usoN drew all Jbo water It required
from 1(6 ( own welt ; now In all but the
smallest villages the whole water supply of
a tow.nn \ obtained from some lake or ctrcam
end pumped out from 'a Dingle reservoir to
oil the Inhabitants. Light and tuel have In
most places been added to tbc IMt of things
supplied from some central point , and In the
largest cities It has been expanded to In
ch ) do a hundred other things that our
parents , or we ourselves a few years ago ,
never dreamed of getting 'n this way.
The result of this movement hro been to
build up under every big modern city a
second city of pipes , conduits , vaults and
pitsapcs where imay of the operations
CESonttal to the health and comfort of the
pampered modern citizen go on. Few per
sons realize what progress lias been made In
this direction already ; but from present
Indlcatlo&a It Is likely that there will 'be a
Btlll more rapid extension of oucli centralized
activities.

"Man can now do certain things with mat
ter which his ancestors could not do , and no
he grows wiser and better ho can learn to do
things bealde which the mlracletS of our time
will pale Into Insignificance. "
This statement Is made by a Hindu sage ,
Swaml Abhedananda , who Is delivering a
eerles of lectures on the ancient Vedanta
philosophy. Thlo young Hindu 13 a co-worker
of Swaml Vlvekeannda. who by hla lectures
proved to , bo the chief attraction at the cel
ebrated congress of religion , at Chicago In
1893. Swum ! Abhedananda .Is seeking to
teach the western mind the Interesting ee-
cie.i , of Hindu psychology and philosophy.
Many of the exercised and means whereby ,
mental conccrjtritlon and a stateof , profound
meditation are reached have never been no
much as published In India'but'have been
handed down from teacher to student. Many
of these secrets have been acquired and kept
by persons for purely selfish purposes , but
the real Hindu aago has bcen'dvcrse to the
rcvcillng of his means of power from the
fear of their abuse and debasement by Icru
wcll-dlsposeJ ami philosophicalmortalij. .
Some ot the methods by which- these Hindu
yogis have acquired auch mar.veloua psychic
powers cannot fall to be ot pratound Interest
to any reader. The Swaml's-account Is as
followu :
"in India , more than 2,000" , years ago ,
monks sat In their caves 'and uiaile complete
and accurate astronomical calculations wlth-
out an Instrument of any kind. In their
ilmu meditations they saw and recognized
10 whole movement of the stellar \vorhl ,

If William Hcrschcl to work'but wllh their

stironomers was > but a few seconds In time.

f thu laws of chemistry. Some of these dlii-
overlcs arc on record In India.
PSYCHIC POWER.
"How did they do thcso things ? By
Mjchlc ccritrol , the result ot long men"lal
loncentrutlon , whereby the mind may attain
o complete domination over matter. You
ee , our minds In the ordinary condition are
ery closely associated with our bodies. But
ve know that our in'ml and our body are
wo very different things. Now , the more
he mind , or rather the eaul , Is separated
rom the body , the more powerful and Inde
pendent does It become , because tills mlnd-
oul Is Immortal. By concentration It is
able , ns It were , to detach Itself from the
hody , and the more complete this detach-
neat the greater will be Ita knowledge of
natter. Now conceive , if j-ou can , of a per
son who has learned 'by concentration to
ako his mind out of his body , so to speak ,
and to look at the body and all other bodies
SL3 outside objects. If the separation of the
mind Is complete -enough , that persca vlil
liscovcr the secrets of nature without so
nuch as going out of the room. Anything
hat the mind , happens to address Itself to
in this state It will grasp and understand.
"Any peiecn with a healthy body and
mind can attain a considetable degree of
mental concentration by hard practice of the
ph > elcal and mental exercises adopted by
our yogis. All your hypnotists , clairvoyants ,
m'ad reedera , and the like are Illustration. !
ot what a comparatively , limited .degree . of
concentration will do for the mind. Such
persons , use their minds for selfish ends as
a rule. No Hindu yogi ever does that. Any
mind to become supremely powerful mue :
have no material attachments or desires. It
Is , tlierefore , passible for comparatively few
mortals at one time to rise to a very high
psychic state , for the ceadltlons involve not
only the vows of chastity and poverty , a
strictly vegetable diet , absolute honesty and
universal love , but days and months of con
tinues meditation. Some persons are born
piedlsposed to this psychic state , as persons
are bom geniuses , and others seem to
blunder upon it without knowing Just how
they got their powers. Every great gsnluc ,
great reformer , and , In fact , great charac
ter of any sort must have mpre or less of It
MIND CONCENTRATION.
"Tho state ofthe mind at all times Is dependent
pendent physiologically upon three things
the brain , the spinal cord and the breath.
These three mu.it work in absolute harmony
bo'o-e the mln- can fully concentrate I'salt
upon lis.lf cr any obj ct wi tout. Concentra
tion Is the goal. 'N-w ' , It has been found
that 'lie brain , the spinal cord , and the
breat Ing cati 'bo ' trained to wrk in such
inlc n 'that ' a powerful rhythmic flow of
norjus cnccgy can bo created. This tre-
mp'.drjs current of nervous energy , upon
reaching 'the brain , produces entirely now re
actions. Every thought or idea produced by
means of the biuln Is the result of seme tort
of reaction taking place. The vividness : f
.such Ideas depends upon the Intensity of the
reaction and.'the intensity of the reaction de
pends upon the strength of the nerve cur
rent producing it. These nerve currents are
rushing to the brain ano' ' resulting In reac-
ticns every moment of our lives , although we
aie not conscious of a gre t many of 'them.
N'jiw , it one can manage to send now and
greatly luoiessed nerve currents to one's
brain they are sure to produce now an !
greater reactions. That 'la Just what occus
when the brain , the spinal corU and the
bioj'thlrg ' MO working -harmony , for then
the motion of the current is rhythmic , cir
culating from foot to head ,
"Tho manner of breathing has much to do
with the result. When _ the breath pasnes
Into the lungs , just opposite the thorax , it
sets In , or rather keeps up , the two nerve
currcntH that pats up' and down the spinal
column to the brain and other parts of the
body. Every Inhalation and exhalation com
pletely controls the motion of thesa currents.
If the Inhalation and exhalation arc Irregu
lar the currents are of necessity Irregular.
Irregular currents are without rhythm , and
It la the .hythmic motion of the currents
that pro luces the wonderful thrillfng reac
tion of the brain.
"But what Is rhythm .In this case ? All
electric currents are bynature rhythmic ;
that Is , the motion Is all in the same dtrec-
tlcn. In an ordinarily- quiet room thcro is
a good deal of motion , almost enough to
knock us down if it were all In the same
dl cctlon , but being In all directions wo do
not feel It. Let it move } n' the same direc
tion and you would see what a whirlwind
would take possession of the room. Just
fiuch motion uninterrupted electric motion ,
as It welt ) Is wanted for ( he nerve currents.
But , there Is scarcely a person In a million
who breathes in a rhythmic manner , or who
lias any so't ot control over , the breath.
This must bo acquired by hard practice. One
of the great difficulties for an unhealthy per
son to overcome In acquiring the art of
rhythmic breathing is the Irregular change
of breath from one nostril to the other. In
a perfectly well person thu breath changes
from ono nostril to the other In about every
two hours , but tn poor health the breath
sometimes remains in one nostril for hours
and even days at a time , In such condition
It Is Impossible to maintain rhythmic circu
lation.
A LESSON FROM NATURE.
"Did you ever observe fhe manner of your
brotttvtng when the mind U aglow with swne
gieat Idea or engrossed with some tre
mendous problem ? How regular and quiet
the brcatfalng becomes In fetich moments' , but
the motion Is perfectly rhythmic. The nerve
currents are moving through their channels
without the sllghtesd obstacle. The mind at
such momenta la ID a profound state ot con
centration , which has been accomplished by
the regularity of the breath , which lids In
Its turn produced the regular nerve currents.
Wo speilc of watching a pUy or hearing a
speech with breathless Intermit. We yogis
In India try to emulate this lesson from na
ture.Vu go to some quiet place , assume an
easy posture , In which the chest , neck and
bead will be on a perpendicular line and the
spinal cord will bang straight down. Then
wa practice this low , measured
three or four times a day , until wo Aave ac
quired the habit. The extrcltcs are begun In
childhood , and a yogi's breath 1 as regular
aa the tick of a watch , under any clrcum-
Blancc-s , for ho has ucnulrcd absolute'mastery
of It.
"Now , n perron who has not acquired. < hla
habit should begin by practicing fifteen min
utes at a time , -at sunrise or on resting at
noon , at unaet and on retiring. After o few
\vceks of sue ! ) practice , If U b-is been done
with > dcslro to eencerjtroto Iho mind , ho
will notice that A change Is coming over bla
nerves. Ho has become calmer and moro
Bcrcnc , Iwa liable to Irritation and disturb
ance from his circumstance ? If he continues
to persevere the health will grtutly Improve ,
wrinkles will depart from the sklu and It
will acquire a sortiof clearness i.nd trans-
pareroy indicative of blgh thinking nnd clean
living. The vc-leev will grow soft. No yogi
ever had a Iranih , .croaking . voice , for the
breath has us much , control over the Volco
UH over the nervtn. < U not only creates the
rhythmic nerve currants , but 4t purifies and
strengthens1 the nerves as well.
"But wo In ImiUilmc another breathing
oxcrclso that en blc us to reach n much
higher state ot puJcWe action. This Is forc
ing the change of brcv.th from nostril to
nostril. The gre ten'the reaction In any part
ot the brain tlio ( greater the concentration
of all other parU lo that part. Why do wo
speak of one's being absent-minded while
walking along tho'strcct ? Bee uss his mind
Is detached front "the * tblnga about him and
Isbusy with soratt strong reaction produced
from within. Nowy-when wo force the brca h
\va Increase the rhj'.thmlc nervous flow , and
consequently the reaction In the brain cells.
ISPINAL'NKRVE FIBRES.
"Tho spinal cord In every human being
contains two regular nerve fibres , one down
the right side' and the other down the left
side. In the center of the cord Is a very
small "hollow tube , open through the medulla ,
'
benefited by 1he purification of the ncrvcn
In thca breathing exercises. Genius Is mem
ory of world facts nnd concentration , and by
such training the wind can moro readily
concentrate Itself upon any subject. The In-
cllnatlqn' however , of every person who has
attained to a high psychic state Is to with
draw himself from the affairs of the world ,
for ho find * moro happiness In company wltli
his soul. Hut , as I eald awhile ago , the sub-
Jcctlvo training of the mind will prove to bo
tuporlnr to Its objective training , for the
understanding of the physical nature. The
mind Is capable of understanding all the
secrets of matter without so much as mak
ing an objective examination of them. This
U the goal of the mind. Do not forget that. "

Is completely closed up at the lower end of
the cord In the average person , who em
ploys only the nerve fibres on either side
for the transmission of the nerve currents.
But the yogi nrs found a most important
use for this hollow tube , once he has suc

ing breath from , side to side and Incrc-aB'ng

cell and to force open its connection with
the hollow tubj In the cord. This done , a
sweeping current Is sent up the hollow tube
to the brain. It is precisely like telegraph

and every Inhalation and exhalation of the
breath keeps the current In rhythmic mo
tion , pausing through the great potential
nerve cell at the lower end of the spinal
cord , sweeping up through , this hollow tu'e
and reacting Into the giay-coated cells of
the brain. This nerve circuit Is open In all
real yogis and that is why they can sit for
hours and meditate and bring their minds
to the highest state of detachment.

for four seconds through the left nostril.

of thin exerclso In a very short time. For
others It will take months. But Its success
means a revolution la the psychic cxLiteiicB
of any oer&cn. A perncn of ovll mind and
body may acquire some power In this way ,
but only temporarily , for right thinking and
right living are absolutely nccensary to reach
