A .vr tht 20 ISTEREST Ei GHOSTS. Hore Intelligent People Than Ever Talking About the Nonsense. SPIRITUALISM MD BCIEKCE. Wherever They Eare Locked Horns the Former Has Been Worsted. STILL THE TVOBlD ISCT 6ATI8FJED, fWKITTBK FOR THE DISPATCH.! In his recent collection of ghost stories Mr. "W.T. Stead is carclul to give the cau tion that these talcs of the marvelous should not be read by "anyone of tender years, of morbid excitability, or of excessively nerv ous temperament." To this he adds that "the latest students of the subject concur in the solemn warning addresed in the Sacred "Writings to those who have dealings with familiar spirits, or who expose themselves to the horrible consequences of possession." In the third place, he warns everybody that "all experiences in hypnotism, spiritualism, eta, excepting in the most careful and reverent spirit by the most level-headed persons, had much better be avoided." A better way to advertise his ghost stories conld hardly be devised. Everybody now, of course, is anxious to read this book, and the supply, as a spiritualist paper relates, cannot be kept up to the demand. In Mr. Stead's judgment it is better that a certain number of people should be scared out of their wits and end up in a lunatic asylum than that the subject should not be investi gated, and the science of ghosts be clearly shown up. But while some people are con siderably worried, there does not appear to ba much ground 'for alarm. Just such stories have been going the rounds of the press for I might say centuries and have been related in books over and over again, but while they mav turn weak ceonle into gooseflesh occa sionally and make the timid afraid to pass churchyards, the effort soon wears away or is laughed down. Perversity of Human Katore. Tbere is a depravity in mankind that, leads them to lon for forbidden fruit. "When Comstock and the good preachers as sailed Tolstoi's "Krentzer Sonata" as im moral in its tendency, the 'world, possessed with the spirit of perversity, went wild to read it, although they found it to be a dull and disaereeable book. "When Mrs. Hum phrey "Ward's "clever attack upon revealed religion" was put under the ban oftho pulpit and was written up by Mr. Gladstone in a long chapter as "a snare" the whole re? ding world pounced upon it as if they had the strongest desire to have their belief in miracles tested and the props taken from under their faith in the supernatural. So when it is stated that there is a pro found necessity for warning people against readinz ghost ktories, it is to be fully expected that a very'great number of them will become possessed of a burning desire to expose themselves to the -danger of being Irightened out of their alleged "seven senses." In all ages of the world men have shown the greatest hankering for signs and won ders, and the keenest Tclish for thrilling stories even to the extent of having their blood run cold, and their hair stand straight up with fright. Literature is full of efforts to meet this demand. Science Hasn't Affected It. Someone has said that the scientific spirit of the aire Las about "knocked-out" faith in the supernatural that Darwin has brought about "a general decay of belief in the unseen." But it would seem as if there were to be a ceneral revival in the whole ghost business. People are beginning to take an uncommon interest in their "doubles," their "thought bodies," in prognosti'-.tions, and premonitions, dreams, visions, materialized spirits and tangible ghosts. The talk is that these are to be submitted to the test of science and common "tense. In books and papers, in drawing room alLs, in scientific discussions the sub ject eomes np constantly. All of this investigation, this friction of mind, this seeking out of scientific basis for it bat has hitherto been held as superstition bolstered tin by ignorance and "old wives tales" will doubtless bring out some light rn this dark subject The "raps" in the Fcx houEO at llocbester that ushered modern spiritualism into the world 44 years ago are still, it is said, "not to be ex plained by the skill of the niasrician, or the powers of philosophy." It it true that the Fox iiiters have admitted they ate frauds, that the mysterious rappinps were pro duced by a power of theirs to make such noises y their toe ioints or something of that kind but all the same the believers in spiritualism maintain that this' confession of the Fox women vas made in deference to the ignorance of the world. I rplaiiation That Doesn't-Explain. Why real believers should confess them selves to outsiders as cheats and proclaim themselves as liars, when good and sincere people were testing their pretensions, is something hard for outsiders to sec. But, as is explained, upon the authority of a prominent spiritualist, "mediumbhip rests upon tensitivenes, which is not dependent upon morals or culture though elevated end controlled thereby." This explained "the foolish farce," as he calls it, of the Fox cirlb "owning up" that they had been pisving upon the credulity of the people. The phenomenon so impeached does not, as believers hold, depend upon the moral qualities of the mediums. These last may be swindlers and blackmailers, and at the same time be good mediums, through whom the angels, in iieaven come down at seances to comfort their earthly friends, to cheer them with an account of their happiness, to charm them with happy as surances of iuture bliss and the blessed boon of immortality in mansions in the rkies in company with their dearest and best beloved. Uhis theory, that the saint liest and godliest of snirit3 may materialize iu life again through immoral "and disgust ing creatures gifted with the powers of me diumship, is not a pleasant one to outsiders, but it explains the loyalty of the believers to those shown to be deceivers. The Great Unsolved Problems. "The mystic rap." however, sirs Lyman C. Howe, "is still the "despair of science." Tables dancing around, banjos banging, bells rincine, and such like doinirs are also problems of science under which the spirit of the age staggers and falls into the depths of despair. Mater ialization of spirits by way of mediums has rather gone out of style of late. "As it grew common it began to deteriorate" says this learned writer on spiritualism. "The conglomeration of crude elements, the mob excitement and the (Commercial spirit have dominated the seance room to such an ex tent that its alue is open to question, and many spiritualists repudiate it entirely." This ib an odd sor of a confession for an apostle of spiritualism to make. It means that "tsngible ghosts in their recocnirrf" forms and clothes, and .vwjs are not the tests and proofs thev used to be, and they . constitute rather more of a defeat in their claims than a success. To this prase of mediumship has succeeded the slate-writing by spirits, which has more influence and effect, it is said, in converting skeptics than any other. This trick, he affirms, is "the despair of jugglers, the eclipse of science." But nevertheless and notwithstanding the Sev bert commission make bold to contradict this with the statement that such writing is a simple trick of legerdemain -imposed by tle cleverness of the medium upon honest, guileleKS folks, and that the close observa tion aud investigation of the commission had forced upon them the conclusion that the so-called marieious manifestations of one of the most prominent mediums in this line "were iraudulcnt thronghout." Investigations of the Commission. The Seybert Commission for the invest!-. W fc-nt- gatlon of the phenomena of spiritualism, It will be remembered, owed its origin to the will of Mr. Henry Seybert, who, as a be liever in spiritualism, left money enough to the University of Pennsylvania to found a chair of philosophy with the condition at tached that the University should appoint a commission to investigate "all systems of morals, religions, or philosophy assuming to represent truth, and particularly of modern, spiritualism." This commission included among its members such well-known men as Dr. Joseph Lcidy, Dr. Pepper, Dr. a "Weir Mitchell and Horace How ard Furness. They investigated the rappings, tBte slate writing, materialization of ghosts and other phases of thebenpmena relied upon as proofs, but, as per their first report, without the discovery of anything to show that spiritualism is the great truth it is claimed to be by its supporters, and that they found more of fraud than honesty. The investigations are not, however, finished by the issuance of this report, but arc to be continued with perhaps other results, and' tbey ask for the aid of spiritualists in reach ing'positive conclusions and scientific evi dence ot the return of spirits. Something Ousnt to Result. "With the contending forces thus at it hammer and tongs and the powerful reival in the ghost busi ness resulting from the manifestations as to "astral bodies," "occult powers," psycomctry, telepathy, mind reading, etc., it is plain to see that some sort of revelation or revolution of ideas is bound to come; in deed may be very near athandif wo belieyo in the prophets. Organized bodies of in telligent people in Europe and America are devoting themselves to the finding out by scientific tests whether there are "real ghosts," whether we have" "double souls," "two personalities," "thought bodies" that are projected into space withont our knowlcdgo or consent, whether by some inner consciousness or mystcrions power of vision sights can be seen thousands of miles away, eta, etc. In their researches upon these profound problems the psychical societies may unex pectedly hit upon some Jittle screw or pin or cog that will ufcalose the whole mechan ism of the matter. The falling of the apple gave to Newton the whole story ot gravitR tion, the steam of the teakettle upon the hob opened the. portal of the age of steam througK the mind of "Watt. But until the clew is caught many will feel with "Wads worth: I look for ghosts; but uono will foroe Their way to me. 'Tis falsely said Tl-at ever there was intercourse Between tho living aud tbe dead. Bessie Bramble, Electricity Versos the Cable. In a recent comparison of the relative ad vantages of electrio and cable traction, reference is made to the Blackpool line in England and the Budapest line in Hungary. The energy usefully applied on electric cars amounts to about 50 per cent of the power given off at the power station. "With cable traction more than 25 per cent efficiency can seldom be relied upon, tbe bulk of the available energy being absorbed by the many tons of steel cable moving at a con stant speed of some eight miles per hour over hundreds of pulleys, each of which has to be carefully lubricated lest it gets hot and adds to tho already normous waste. On electrio cars the consumption of cur rent is proportional to the load and to the speed. Another important consideration is that accidents with electrio cars are less frequent than with the cable. A fact which may be of service to city fathers who con template the introduction of rapid transit is that tho entire permanent viav of the Budapest road, together with conduits, drains, feeders and conductors, did not ex ceed $57,500 per mile. XaTljatlns Canals by Electricity. The traction of canal boats by means of horse power will soon bo as much out of date as animal traction in the streets of large cities. This old-fashioned methodhas long been regarded as lamentably behind the times, but no substitute has been forth coming. Steam has been tried, with but moderate success, and the Belgian cable system is clumsy and inadequate. Eleo-tficity.'j-s usual, cpmes in to solve the probleij, and the trolly system has been foumlAo answer exceptionally well for canal s.vigaticn. Testing Horses' Feet by Battery. A mode of testing the depth to which nails have been driven in a horse's foot, which is as merciful as it Ib effective, has been rendered possible by the use of the electric current. One terminal of a light battery is attached to the bit, and the other to the shoe. If n nail has been driven into tho tender part of the foot, the horse will be manifestly uneasy, but otherwise it will ghe no sign'of sensation. fclence as au Aid to Detective Work, A French physician claims to have dis covered a means of obtaining an imprint of any hand that has touched a pieco of paper, or of a foot that has trodden the floor. For this purpose he relics on the use of chemi cals, which render visible flight traces of perspiration or sebaceous deposit. .Asthma Cured Volnntfiry Testimony. Gkeene, N. Y., Dec. 11,1891. Dr. D.

A Plan Adopted in Paris That Seems to fill Eequireincnts'. ELECTRICITY IN CUTTING ICE. Eimple Way of Finding Out "Whether a Horse Is Properly Shod. BITS OP IATE ECIENTIFIC GOSSIP nnUTTKSf TOB TDK DISPATCH. 1 The amphitheater of the newSorbonne at Paris, which seats 3,000 persons, can profitably be taken as a model for the thea ters of the future in respect of the supply of fresh air with which it is constantly filled during the play. The walls surrounding the building are hollowed, and inside there is a canalization, by which heat can be im parted to the sub'stance of which they are built. An hour before the .public is ad mitted the batteries in the heating furnace are raised to about S00 or 400 degrees C. The air passing over them is allowed toes cape up all the hot air shafts -built inside the walls. It enters the auditorium by openings about ten feet above the ground, and travels upward along the cold surface of the walls, which are soon warmed. In a very short time the temperature of the whole amphitheater is raised to about 160 Eahr. The place is then absolutely untenantable. The walls, furniture, and everything in the amphitheater is thorough heated, and soon absorbs and retains a large stock of caloric. About quarter of an hour before the publio are admitted all the not air supply is cut off, and the warming of the building stopped, Air-propelling screw fans ore now set in motion, and pump into the amphitheater pure, cold air from the streets. Tbe overheated air is soon driven out, and by the time tho public enter they Una exactly the same air as they were breathing in the streets. This air has not been warmed or mixed with warm air, it it simply the pnre, outdoor atmosphere. Bat through it is radiated the heat given off by the hot walls and furniture of the amphi theater, and the cold incoming air, as it strikes the walls, is warmed. It therefore becomes lighter, expands, and travels up ward t ward the outlets in the ceiling. The walls retain their heat for some hours, and people can sit in perfect comfort to the end of the play. Electrio Ice-Cuttins Machine. An electrio ice-cutting machine has been, invented, which not only does away with from 30 to 50 per cent of tho present' waste in cutting ice, but introduces a most ap preciable saving in an entirely unlooked for quarter. It appears that many of the horses employed in this industry are attacked by pulmonary diseases from exposure, and a large number are annually lost by drowning; one company alone having lost 27 last winter from this cause. Tho new harvester is a cross between a tricycle and a sulky, its weight being that of the driver and of the small electric motor which is geared to the wheels and to the cutters, which revolve. Owing to the lightness of the apparatus, ice can be cat that would not bear the weight of the familiar ice-plough and team, as the cutter is capable of grooving ordi nary ice almost through to tho water with n perfectly smooth motion and without shock or jar. The machine, moreover, re moves snow and corrugates tbe surface of the ice. The current that propels the motor is furnished either by a reel of wire or by light, movable trolley wires like those ot electric roads, and is derived from a plant which also runs the elevators at the ice house, and gives light for the harvesting operations, which, in open winters, are necessarily continued all night. Brewing on Scientific Principles. A London firm is adopting the pneumatie principle of malting. Galland's method, hitherto used by them, although theorctic cally perfect, was practically defective, and so must every malthouso process be if the air in contact with and drawn through grain carries an excess of moisture. This prevents true withering, and pneumatic malt made under such circumstances wonld be excess ive in hardness. The firm alluded to have adopted the principle of a dual atmosphere, that saturated with moisture being utilized during the early stages of the germihatiou, while the alternative or dry air comes into use while the grain is withering. The future of pneumatio vegetation will prob ably bo far more gratifying than the past, and if competition eventually necessitates the malting of maize the process will prob ably be carried out in a revolving cylinder. There is no reason why pneumatio maize malt should not be of the most excellent quality if the conditions of vegetation are varied according to artificial requirements. TVliy California 'Wines Are Heady. During last year 457,2G2 gallons of brandy were used in the fortification of sweet wines in California. The spirit was used to fortify the following wines; Port, 11143,703 gallons; angelica, 230, SSO; muscatel, 87,305; sherry, 312,312; tokay, 217. This gives n total of 1,773,977 gallons a statement that speaks more for the "headiness" of the wines than for their flavor. The systematic palming off of American wines by labelling them with tho names of the best French products is being very extensively practiced. It is esti mated that 75 per cent of the California wines made are sold in the East under French, German and other labels, the result of which is, that only the poorer quality of native wines are actually sold for what they are, and the reputation of the domestic Vintage accordingly suffers. Improvement! In tbe Glass Industry. . Leadihg plate glass manufacturers in Eng land are expending large sums in improved plants, principally for the .finishing pro cesses on plate glass. The rough plates are at present finished by the three separate processes of "grinding," "smoothing" and "polishing," which occupy about three days. Machines have been constructed capable of carrying 6ut the three processes without a sinL'le removal of the class, and of finishing the work in one day instead of three. The special purpose of' introducing these machines is to effect the economy necessary to a continued successful compe tition with the French and Belgian manu facturers. Color Sensations in the Eye. M. Chavean finds, from recent experi ments, that the excitation of one retina by colored light influences, not only the optio ncrves of this retina, but also those on the opposite side, so that the latter are able to awaken the sensation of the color employed while the excited retina only sees the com plementary color. Thus, if a white surface be observed for a short'time through a bit of colored glass, using only one eye and screen ing the other, when the glass is'taken away the white ground appears to be tinted with a color complementary to that of the glass. Improved Pavements for Cities. Cork street pavement is being tested in London. It is composed of grannlated cork and bitumen, pressed into blocks and laid like wood pavement. The special ad vantages claimed are, its elasticity, noise lessness and the"sflbrding of a perfect foot hold for horses. Its wearing qualities have yet to be tested. Wood pavements have for some lime been very popular in London. Their life is found to be lully equal to that of stone.
