She has held the glass so long that
her hand is steadier. / noticed that
when Miss Petit acted as the medium
her hands trembled so that nothing
could be distinguished.
The use Of mirror might lead some
to suppose the objects seen in the water
were reflections from objects lying
about the ground or place. l thought
50 too until / had the mirror held below
the edge of the square box that sur
rounds the well, totally shutting off
everything outside of it. and still the
aquatic visions appeared. | thought
that perhaps it was the mirror that did
the trick, so l procured piece of win
dow class and covering it with dark
cloth went to the well at o'clock in
the morning and tried it and with the
same result.
The morning experiment was taken
without the knowledge of Colonel
Deyer or his family.
The we'll itself is the one rs stated
before that supplies the household
with drinking water. 1t is supplied
with water by eight springs and gener-
ally has about eight to ten feet of wa
ter in it. When l was there the depth
of water measured just eight feet.
Above that to the top of the well the
distance was twenty-five feet. The
diameter of the well is three and half
feet. So clear is the water that the
white sand bottom can be plainly seen
when the sun is shining. | saw the
bottom distinctly and noted few things
that had fallen in it. The walls of the
well are ofred brick, covered with moss,
and over the well, dangling from the
end Of the we'll sweep, hung a bucket
that might have been for the ''old oak
en- bucket Of poetic fame. Colonel
Deyer told me that the well was on the
plantation when he bought it in 1865,
and he understood that the well was
originally dugin 1900.
The we'll has been cleaned every
year. and the tilae for cleaning the well
is at hand now, but Colonel Deyer says:
IF that well is cleaned | will have to
do it myself. There is not q servant
on the plantation that will go near that
well alone, and as to going In it no
money would induce them to make the
venture"
As drove away the owner of Eir-
ginia's sensation said: IF you meet
any skcptical people send them along
| shall be only too glad to meet the
person who will clear up the mystery"
Here seems to be an opportunity for
