Physic Force.

We noted few weeks since the re-
luctancc shown by many scientific men
to study fairly the nature of a certain
class of phenomena which point to some
cause outside of recognized forces. Such
All odium is put upon any possible rec.
ognition of mind as acting in any other
way on matter than through musculer
or mechanical! medium that few have
had the hardihood to undertake the in.
vestigation Of certain facts which have
been long challenging research. Char
latans have in the meantime the freer
chance to humbug the multitude, who
could not but be persuaded that effects
are produced transcending all material
causes, as at present understood. Scien-
tific leaders have stood aloof with indig-
nation as though their credulity were
about to be Practiced upon, while, in
truth in the acceptance of seductive the
ories regarding the origin and evolution
of sublunary things, they have exhibited
an astonishing amount of credulity,
travelling with rapid pace far in advance
of the real discovery of fact. The dawn
Of a better era has set in. It Is to be re-
corded that two distinguished members
of the Royal Society, together with a
legal gentleman, have held sittings with
Mr.. Hume, whose necromancy has been
80 long astonishing the whole civilized
world. Mr.. William Crookes, F, r. s.,
ives the fullest exposition Of the results,
and Prof, Higgins, who stands among
the leading lights of science, endorses
his statement Of facts, though still hold
ing his opinions as to their interpreta.

Darien Ship Canal.

Commodore Selfridye, in charge OF the
Darien Canal survey, has carefully ex-
amined what is known as the Atrato
route to the confluence Of the Napipi
river, a distance of one hundred and
twenty miles, The Atrato is navigable
to this point, aud here the real di fficulty
Of the work begins. A canal must run
thence to Simon bay on the pacific
coast, 80 miles away; the lowest level of
the divide is six hundred and twelve
feet; there must be cut two hundred
and sixty four feet IN depth and several
hundred in length aud to cap the elm
max there must be a tunnel four miles
long, and large enough to admit the
passage of ships Of heaviest burden with
topmasts set down. The Selfridge plan
requires nine locks on the Atlantic and
thirteen on the Pacific each with ten
feet lift-and the total expense Of the
entire work is set down at $500 ,0OO, ,OOC
with % 900, 900 put aside to meet obsta
cles or errors in calculation.
Now, according to the most accurate
information to be obtained, and making
the amplest allowances in favor Of the
enterprise, there might be $50, 900 ton.
mage pass through the canal annually
provided it can be built Calculating
seven per cent. as a low enough rate o
interest on the investment to pay the
proper returns and meet running expen.
ses. the yearly earnings should be So. OOt
600. This would be $40 ton or on q
vessel Of six hundred tons, Sc, 600, which
amounts to actual prohibition; for nc
commerce in the world can stand such q
tax. If Commodore Selfridge can no,
find a cheaper canal track across the
Isthmus than via the Atrato river, we
may as we'll abandon the task in despair
for the Suez canal was mere child's play
compared to this. But those who have
examined the Tehuantepec route claim
that it is better iu every respect that 8
canal there could be built much cheaper
the transit be made more easily and
safer, and consequently that the toll.
will be lower. These are strong recon-
mendations, but the question is, are they
based on facts? That we must and will
have ship canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific, is perhaps foregone conclu-
sion but the where, when and how
are slightly uncertain just now.

| well and closed up the planks. He
could no longer see, but he could hear.
He says that the flames made no halt
| whatever, nor ceased their roaring for
an instant, but he had hardly got the
opening closed before the house and
mill were burning like tinder, and both
| were down in Ave minutes. The smoke
came down to him powerfully, and his
den was 30 hot that he could hardly
breathe. He knew that the dry planks
above him were on fire, but remember
ing their thickness, he waited till the
roaring OF the flames had died away,
and then with his head aud hands
turned them over and put out the fire
by dashing up water with his hands.
Although it was cold night, and the
water had at first chilled him, the heat
gradually warmed it up until he says he
felt very comfortable. He remained in
his den until daylight, frequently turn
ing ever the planks and putting out the
fire, and then the worst had passed.
The earth around was on fire in spots,
house and mill were gone. leaves, brush
and logs were swept as clean away "a if
shaved off aud swept with a broom
Nothing but ashes and SCOT was to be
seen.
After the fire had somewhat cooled
off. Weaver made an investigation Of
his caches, and found that considerable
Of the property buried had been saved,
although he lost all of his provisions
except piece of dried beef, which the
fire had cooked as in an oven without
spelling it. He had no other resource
than to remain around the place that
day, during the night, and the greater
part Of the next day, when the ground
had cooled enough 80 that he could pick
his way to the site Of the burned village.
He was nearly twelve hours going the
twelve miles, as trees we're falling, logs
were burning, and the fallen timber
had in some places heaped up a breat-
work over which no one could climb.

.liou in a.ues an.e. Nj. .-Croohcs affirr,
that he prepared the necessary apparatus
at his own house without the pre-
knowledge of Mr.. Hume, thereby rulins
out the possibility of concealed machin
cry or trick. The object desired i,
behalf of science was to test Mr.. Hume
power by some delicately contrived bal
ance by which it might be measured il
foot pounds. For one thing, a boar,
was provided three feet long. One enc
was rested on q table and the othe
sustained by spring-balance, th,
pointer of which stood at lbs. whei
the board was in place. Mr.. Hum
placed the tips of his fingers lightly o!
the extreme end of the board where j
was supported by the table, and imme
diately the other end began to oscillate
as though successive waves of powe
went through it. To show that no mus
cular power was used, Mr.. Hume pu
under his fingers card matchbox an
the boardt still oscillated, carrying til
pointer of the balance TO six and ha,
pounds, and even in one case to min
pounds, - indicated by an automati
register. Mr.. Crookes stood afterwal
on the end of the board on one foot all
" i,h all his weight, 140 pounds; eve
when jumping up and down, could on'
carry the pointer to five pounds; thu
showing that there was more power
the " mediums" little finger than i'll b.
whole body. Another experiment W.
test of the well-known accordion trick
On the part of science there was provI
ded a wire cage, with meshes so sinai
that no hand could pass them, and -
adjusted that no foot could be intrude,
underneath. The accordion was placet
within this inclosure which was unde
a table. Mr.. Hume held the instrumen
with thumb and fore finger, bottom up
ward, and no more Of his hand allowe,
to enter than was necessary for this, Tho
other hand being on the table. The ac
Gordon began to move back and forth
and to play a succession Of harmonious
sounds. The scientific observers were
watching the while, and noted that the
hand of Mr.. Hume did not move. Stran
ger still, his hand was presently entire
ly withdrawn, and the instrument con
tinued its gyrations and music. Mr.
CrOOkes af1irns that he made uumerou:
experiments with all possible care, ant
is satisfied of the existence Of what he
calls Physic Force. That is to say, Ger
tain individuals when in favorable con
dition, have power over matter without
contact or any visible connection.-L
