Extract from a letter.
spirits of the dead do not come back to the
earth, and if they do am not aware that
any one has ever fairly demonstrated such
temperance. When left England few
weeks ago L learned that one gentleman
whose name I am not at liberty to mention,
but who stands as high as any one in the
known world as a scientific Investigator of
occult phenomena, had what he believed to
be an indisputable communication from a
friend with whom he had made prear-
ranged plan of communication, and have
no doubt his experience will be published
in the British Journal of Psychical Re-
search.
1 certainly do believe in the resurrec-
tion of the body in one sense, and my belief
in its Immortality rests in the fact that mat
as an entity seriously doubt, but it may
be rehabilitated in perhaps q far more beau
tiful form than the theologians would have
us believe when the process OF reconstruc-
ton has taken place. The elements OF such
belief, of course, enter into Buddhism,
and to me such an idea is far more agreea-
BILE than that of place of future abode peo-
pied with cripples or idiots, or those who
carry their earthly infrmities into heaven.
strongly believe in the perfection of mat
ter and in the regeneration and purihcation
which may be inaugurated here by our in
dividual efforts or those Of communities, and
perpetuated hereafter through all time in
the orderly laboratory of nature.

buildings. The farmers OF the West have
been promised 500 acres in which
to display their products. On this
basis the Lake Front, with its pro-
posed additions, would not contain
sufficient area on which to hold the cattle
! show. The partisans of the Lake Front
argue that it is not necessary to exhibit
Southdown sheep and carved ivory in ad-
jacent buildings. Their reasoning may be
to impress their views on the representa-
tives of the Western agriculturist.
THE MOST CONVENIENT.
The best argument in favor of the Lake
Front site is that no other location is so con-
venient. 1t is within easy walking distance
of all the depots and central to all the street
railway lines. Ninety per cent of the people
of Chicago live within six miles of it. It is
accessible to all the leading railroads. To
reach it no new lines nor even switch tracks
would be necessary.
The entire water front is part of a navig-
able harbor of sufficient depth to float any
ship in the world. Any ship that can pass
the Welland Canal can unload exhibits
from Europe without breaking bulk. In
the matter OF police protection and water
supply the location cannot be excelled.
Many of the Improvements proposed would
be permanent including some of the build
ings. The widening of the park and the
covering of the railroad tracks would be
welcome changes.
Such in outline are few Of the arguments
of those in favor of this site. The down.
town hotel owners, the West and South
Side Cable Companies; the leading retail
merchants and a class OF real estate dealers
are enlisted on this side of the question.

He never ventured, indeed, to speak to her
of love, but he looked it, which was almost
as bad. Another thing was that he had
grown jealous. The seed which Elizabeth
had planted in his mind had brought forth
abundantly, though, Of course, Beatrice did
not know that this was her sisters doing.
On the very morning that Geoffrey went
away Mr.. Davies had met her as sne was
walking back from the station, and asked
her if Mr. Bingham had gone. When she
replied that this was so, she had distinctly
heard him murmur: THANK Godl thank
Godp' Subsequently she discovered also
that he bribed the old postman to keep count
of the letters which she sent and received
from Geoffrey.
These things filed Beatrice with alarm,
but there was worse behind. Mr.. Davies
began to send her presents-frst, such
things as prize pigeons and fowls, then
jewelry. The pigeons and fowls she could
not well return without exciting remark,
but the jewelry she sent back by one of the
school children. First came a bracelet, then
locket with his photograph inside, and
