Serious statements by Sir Oliver
Lodge command respectful attention
even when he abandons solence for
mysticism, writes the foreign corres
pondent of the New York Sun. It
was therefore with something like
amazement rather than scepticism
that a meeting of the Psychical
search Society, London, heard the dis.
cidents which for some personal rea
son happen to have made a perma
nent impression?”
Sir Olver elaborated at some
length his reasons for pttaching im:
portance to trifies, and In the course
of his conciuding statements sald:
“Like excavators boring a tunnel
from opposite ends amid the roar of
water and other noises, we are be
ginning to hear now and again the
strokes of the plckaxes of our com-
rades on the other side. The bound-
ary between the present and future
States is still substantial, but it Is
wearing thin in places.”
The society intends to publish a
full account of the tests to which Sir
Oliver referred. It will be recalled
that F. W. H. Myers was a brilliant
literary man and a leading member
of the society, who died In 1801,
shortly before the publication of his
greatest work dealing with the sur
vival of human personality after bod-
fly death. He expressed his intention
to try after death the crucial experl-
ment of exerting his own influence
upon minds still incarnate,

were concerns
tests, the most notable be-
ing Mrs. Piper and Mrs. Verrall. Sir
Oliver described Mrs. Piper as one
whose fame spread to all lands and
who had under strict super-
vidgion and competent management for
the greater part of her physical life.
Mrs. Verrall he designated a8 “one
of our sanest and acutest imvestiga-
tors.” Referring to what happened
at the geances Sir Oliver sald:
“The most important set of phen.
omena are those of automatic writ
ing and talking, and what do we find?
We find the late Edmund Gurney, the
late Richard Hodgson and the late F.
W. H. Myers, with others less known,
constantly o communicate
with us, with the express purpose of
patiently proving their identity by
giving us cross correspondence be-
tween different mediums.
“We also find them answering
specific questions in a manner char
acteristic of their known personal
ities and giving evidence of knowl
edge to the Not easily

It seems like the beginning of a new
human faculty.
“First of all the evidence led ns
to realize the truth of telepathy, and
that was the first chapter of the new
volume we set ourselves to explore.
“I am going,” Sir Oliver continued
impressively, “to assume in fact that
our ‘bodies can under certain excep.
tional circumstances be controlled di
rectly or be temporarily possessed
by another or foreign intelligence op-
erating either on the whole or some
limited part of it. The question ly

Justifying it or negativing it, is the
root question of identity, the identity

“Some control undoubtedly exists,
and it is not the normal conscious-
ness of the person owning the body.
Every one who knows anything about
the matter 4s quite certain that this
question of identity is a fundamental
one. The controlling spirit proves
its identity mainly by reproducing
the speech or writing facts which be-

“Proof of identity will usually de-

Rumor That Germany Will Control
Supply Causes Stir.
Just at present German engineer
| ing circles are much worked up over
the report that the imperial Treasury
contemplates making the supply of
electricity an Imperial monopoly.
Nothing definite has yet been an-
nounced the mere rumor has
caused a considerable stl In come
menting on this statement “Engineer.
ing" says:
If the electricity supply is to be
come an imperial monopoly the mu-
nicipalities will suffer. The public
electric power stations are either
owned and managed by the municipal
ities. or they will become their prop
erty at the expiration of the conces
slons granted to companies. Most
of these electric supply undertakings
are doing well: a smaller number
do not pay their way, and would hard:
ly be more prosperous under govern
ment administration, which does not
as a work more economically
and 3afully than private enter
prise if the empire to buy these
undertakings out it will saddle ftself
with a heavy debt, and the municipal:
ities will have to impose further rates
to compensate themselves for the loss
of revenue when they are no longer
able to trade In electric light and
power That the State would suc
ceed in increasing its income bY
raising the rates for the electricity
supply is not at all probable, though
it has been suggested. If the alec
tric Mght of today had to compete
against the gaslight of twenty years
ago electricity might disregard its
| competitors. But it is too often for
gotten that astounding as the de
velopment of electricity has been, the
progress made by gas {lumination
and gas power supply still more
astounding, and that the gas prog
| ress curves continue to rise more
| steeply than the electricity curves
Any attempt to raise the electricity
rates would benefit the gas industry
and the electric industry.
| We should be sorry to interfere in
{ a German political question, We are
only concerned with the general fea
| tures of the matter. We have State
monopolies in the postal and tele
graph services, and we do not wish
| to abolish those monopolies. In fed
| eral Germany the rallways are pras
{ tically a government monopoly, and
| the United States may adopt that
i policy We do not wagt more cen
{ tralization than is absolutely neces
sary in Great Britain, as we are not
| citizens of a federation of States and
: we are not In favor of monopolies on
| the whole. Yet we can understand
i those whom the fear of the abuses of
trusts converts into bellevers in
State monopoles, although they see
in private enterprise better guaran
| teas of healthy and steady progress
| The electric rallways would naturally
fall under State control in a country
of State railways. But the supply
of light and power is a local prob
lem, and we cannot gee how they
can be improved by being made they

The Great Speed of Coyoles |
By ERNEST THOMPSON.
The speed of the coyote is great,
and has often been the subject of ad.
miring comment, but I think it has
been overrated, After collecting dats
of various kinds, such as actual
known records of dogs and horses,
and hares, or horses and foxes, wolves
and hounds, hounds and automobiles,
I have attempted a scale of compara-
tive speeds:

the white bands of the skunk, the
horns of the elk, are so varied that
rarely two are found just alike. |
Speed is one of the peculiarities of the
coyote as it is of the greyhound, and
we must, therefore, look for great
variations of rate. I have selected |

THROUGH SEWER FOR DOG.
A little black and tan dog trotting
along Main street, in Catskill, N. Y.,
with an Italian woman, saw a leaf
blow along the gutter and disappear
into a surface water opening. He
went to make an investigation. It
was slippery with ice around the hole,
and before he could stop himself he
disappeared with a yelp into the open-
ing. He shot through a twelve-inch
pipe into the Main street sewer and
landed at the bottom, seven feet be
low the street.
The cries of the woman and the
howling of the dog soon attracted a
crowd, which could do nothing for
the prisoner through the opening.
Friends of the woman ted to tear
up the street, but it was decided to
open a side street sewer leading to
the main street sewer near where
the dog was. Volunteers at once
went to work and made the dirt fly
for two hours before the branch sewer
was reached and opened.
When it was opened, the dog could
not be coaxed to the exit. In a
short time the owner of the dog, a
young Italian, arrived. Borrowing a
lantern, he entered the opealng, and
to the main sewer, he got the dog.
Backing out with the animal in his
arms, he was greeted with cheers
