 This conjecture is supposed to be sup ported by the fact that the noise is prevent ed by the intervention of substances that are non-conductors as for instance, when a pillow was placed between her person and the door In which she stood, no noise or effect whatever were discoverabie. j. So when she gets upon feather bed, and again II she lies at length on the floor, the thump- ng appears 10 be near her head, which is very much affected at the moment of f tiile tiile report, so much so that she screams; on one such occasion she said it appeared as Ii some one was knocking her brains out.
 The noise of the reports may be heard at least 100 yards from the house.
