THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURO. PA F THE DEPARTED May Be Seen Through a Medium and Sir Oliver Lodge i Now Convinced rXISTENCE AFTER DEATH'S CALL r. Hollantlronc tint Them From departed Searchers When Her Mind Was a llhmk Hints From Myers Were Hard to Mend. London. When Sir Oliver Lodge startled the public tome time ago with the grave assertion of his be lief that messages had been received from dead members of the Pyschlcal Research Society by living members luller details were promised later. These are now given by the Psychi cal Kesearoh Society's Journal. They consist of messages trans mitted through the pen of a medium known as Mrs. Hollandrones. As she sat with her mind a blank, her pen moved and she wrote what pur ported to be a communication from beyond the grave. The messages were blurred and broken. Many dealt with the difficulty of opening communication between the dead and The living. Thus, one message from Mr. Uurney, one of tho found ers of the Pyschlcal Research Society read: "The nearest Bimilic I can find to express the difficulties of sending a message Is that I appear to be standing behind a slit-et of fronted g'.ass, which blurrs the sisht rtn:l deadens sounds, dictuting feebly to a reluctant and somewhat obtuse sec retary. "A fecdling of terrible impotence burden:) me. I nm so powerless to tell what means so much. I cannot get Into communication with those who would understand and believe me. You need much training before you can ever begin to help me as I need to be helped, and I do not know how that training is to be arranged. It Is like entrusting a message of Infinite importance, to a sleeping person." Living personality Is declared to be on a lower plane of spiritual de velopment, which does not receive tear impressions from the higher ne of those who have quitted the .son of the Iiesh. borne ot the messages, of which a rse number are printed, assume to :ve some account of existence after ucuth. Immediately after dissolu tion there is an "obscuration of con sciousness," which has led to many failures in attempts to communicate with living persons. The distinguished writer V. H. W. Myers is quoted as telling that at the hour of his ''eath he became completely unconscious, He added: "The period of oblivion was unusual ly long with me. There was no link between my utter consciousness of things of the earth. The last thing I felt was the touch that closed my eyes and my passage to the plane I now occupy. "The transit was absolutely un known to me, and I am not con scious of a return journey, as it were. When I communicate in this way I am conscious of strain and ef fort, but I cannot note the stages of the way. William Stead announces that he obtained through a "lady who often received messages from the beyond" a communication from Mr. Myers to the effect that he bad made many discoveries annulling some of the conclusions of his book, "Human ' Personality," and he intended to make these discoveries known to the utmost extent of his power.

He gathered the fragments and with Lloyd Rainwater, cashier of the Bank of Morrillton. Ark., came to Washington with an affidavit of how the bills became damaged. He learned to-day that his visit was un necessary, as the Treasury Is con stantly receiving mutilated bills from all parts of the country for redemp tion . Mrs. A. E.

PLANT HAS LYES BOTANIST SAYS Outer Skins of Leaves Are lenses Much I.Ike Kjes of Inserts. London. Tho interest aroused by Mo contention made by Francis Darwin, Bon of the author of "Tne UrtRln of Species," In his President ial address before the British Asso ciation in Dublin, that plants can rememner and can develop habits, has been increased by a paper read by Prof. Harold Wager, the well known botanist. Prof. Wager de clared that plants possesed an organism corresponding to the brain in animals, and further demonstrated that they have eyes with which they can see and see well. Prof. Wager showed that the out er skin of many leaves are, in fact, lenses, very much like wie eyes of many Insects, an! quite as capable of forming clear Images o.' surround ing objects. This is the case with most leaves, but especially In the rase of those that grow In the sha-le. These lenses are so good and fo cus the light that falls on them so carefully that photographs can be taken by means of them. Prof. Wag er has taken a great many such pho tographs and he showed some of the more remarkable. These Included a reproduction of a photograph of Dar win, in which the features were dis tinct and unmistakable, as well as direct Photographs of landscapes and people, liven colored photographs were exhibited, and, like the rest, they are remarkably clearly defined. Not only do plant eyes see well, but the rays of light which uy means ot them are focused on the interior of the leaf are carried to the interior of the brain of the plant and direct its subsequent movements. It has long been known that the leaves of plants move bo that they can get a maximum of light. It is now suggested how this movement is made possible, and the process is almost identical with like movements in the case of animals. A close an alysis of the eyes of plants, more over, proves them highly developed organs. THE LIFE SAVING SERVICE. All Through the Night the Surfmen Patrol the Beach. All through the night the eurfmen are patrolling the beach at Monomoy, as they do from Quoddy Head to Cape Florida, meeting in the little shanty on a sanddune called Half-way House to tell one another the newa nf the hour, and to exchange the numbered brass tags by which the :apt:ilns may know that the watch has gone faithfully to the end of his post. For ten months in the year the vigil ance is not relaxed. During June und July the ere we are rewarded for their year's labor by the gift of a generous vacation without pay. They may fish or farm or do what they will for a living.

Stornii and wrecks do occur now and then in these perlodB,' but they really ehould not; and, therefore, Congress In lta wisdom refuses to keep the llfesavers on duty.

During the two months of unpaid vacation they get $3 apiece for each occasion of service. No; there la no money lure In this eame. The service require! men of perfect health and strength. Whenever the surgeon discovers surT man or captain- to have fallen below perfect condition, he is incontinently put out, no matter how many year he may have spent In llfe-eavlng. And there is no Denslon. Mr. KlmDall. the superintendent of the department haa tried again and again to persuaae congress to grant pensions to these men, but congress in its wtadom baa always said no. And from the wis dom of congress there is no appeal. W. O. IngllB in Harper's Magaxlne tor Tnnarv ghlrt-WalHt SuKKstlons. In making yokes, long' cufTs, etc.. of rows of lace insertion, or alternate Ing robbon and lace, this plan gives a smooth, firm and quickly made piece, writes a Canadian woman. I cut from a fairly firm piece of paper, an exact pattern of the section I wla to make, and stitch upon this paper with the machine the ribbon and lace as desired. When finished and trim med to the pattern, the paper may be easily torn away from the stitching. To save work in making a shirt waist I always use a ripped waist which fitted well, for a pattern. It Is very easy to lay in any tucks or other differing design before cutting1 tne new material upon the old lines. In this way it is possible to make a new waist without going through the tedious "trying on" processes, and yet one is assured of a perfect fit. The Yellow Terll Overcome.
