The social season seems to have taken
a legitimate start, and the past week
has kept society's votaries occupied con-
stantly with teas, receptions and card
parties, musicals, luncheons and din
ners.
OF the latter, none has been more ar
tistic in conception nor more delightful
in realization than that of last evening,
when the Hon. T. e. Gibbon dined Sem
ator Stephen M. White and ten other
guests. The rooms in the hospitable
Beacon street house were decorated with
clusters of chrysanthemums and lilies,
and with potted ferns. In the dining
room were pink carnations and smilaX.
Placed in the center of the long table
was an oblong mirror banked along the
edge with ferns, smilaX and pink carna-
tions. On the surface of the mirror was
an exact reproduction of the San Pedro
harbor. The breakwater was construct
ed of nuts, and, resting on the placid
surface of the inner harbor were tiny
steam launches, yachts and vessels. A
miniature lighthouse was placed on
Point Firmin. That and Dead Mans S
island (also of nuts), from which flutter-
ed diminutive American flag, the town
of San Pedro and the hamlet of Termin-
al island (both represented by little
cardboard houses), were all properly To-
Gated as to the points of the compass.
At both the latter places and extending
out into the mirror water, were cleverly
constructed small wooden piers upon
which were toy trains of cars and on the
Terminal railway side was magnii-
cent pocket edition of a station with the
name painted on the roof. The ensem-
BILE was exceedingly picturesque, and rs
unique as it was realistic. At either end
of the table were silver and sevres can
delabra, shaded with pink and green.
and sconces and lamps also shaded in
the same colors lent a charming effect
to the whole. Covers were laid for
twelve, and the artistic little place cards.
upon which were sketched marine views
in water colors, bore the names, besides
those of the host and the guest of honor,

This strange Cre2 ion was conceived
in the brain of Freuch savGrt. NJ.
Savary d'Odiardi who is at present in
London. He has made the idea this
machine represents and the human
emotions the study of his life, and
knows more IF the zeal facts conc%riI
ing humanity than probably any other
savant of the present day. He has,
indeed, practically solved the problem
of mental telegraphy, and with this
machine approaches nearer to one OF
the unknown forces of nature than has
any one else for at least centuries.
He declares that we are still IN the
twilight of experiment, and with this
remark ushers you into the presence of
that tiny little machine that before
you are done with it will fill you with
uncanny thoughts, and make your sur
roundings seem eerie for many an hour.
To be technical for a moment, let us
call the little instrument a register of
cerebral force, or, in other words, a
machine that indicates to us just what
we think.
A little pedestal stands in the in
ventor's study, workshop. or labora
tory, whatever you may please to call
it. and upon this rests a glass bell,
the home of mystery. Beneath this
stands a metal disc inscribed with de-
grees and directly over this disc sus-
pended by a wire so delicate that the
thought of Damocles' sword comes to
you at once, is a sensitiZed needle,
fashioned very like G small hatchet.
Here is the cerebral register the inter-
prefer of emotion, the will eXerciser.
Look at it carefully, and Immediately
it moves Affected, despite your as
sumed Indifference, you wonder what
force it can possibly be that is max
ing that needle sway first this way and
then that Grey-haired. NJ. dOdiardi
leans on his stick and SMILES on Xou so
kindly that you never think Of possible
ridicule or amusement at your ignor-
ance. "It is your mind that moves
the needle" he says. "The needle tells
me that you are wondering, but, as
your face reveals that also, it is not
surprising that I should know. Now
look at the needles point" Immediate
ly the tiny steel swung towards me.
Just a second and the needle swung
slowly back. "Will strongly" said the
inventor. DO that and you will hold
the needle facing YOU I did so, and
10, once again the needle slowly sway
ed towards me, and, for brief mo-
ment, held 1t directly before me pure

work of the Salvation Army. She was
twenty years old, accomplished, pretty
and in society. She astonnded her fam
lily and friends one day by announcing
that she had decided to go forth in
the plain gown of the Salvation Army
as a saver of souls. She would go down
in the slums and give the best there
was In her to the lowest of humanity.
She kept her word. Pleadnigs swerv-
ed her not. At first, while qualifying
for her chosen vocation, she was pri-
vate secretary to Mrs. Ballington
Booth. Afterward she was made a cap
tain, and for more than two years she
has been working and living in the
most wretched parts of the city
Mr. Kupfer is the son of a wealthy
clothing merchant and was one of a
little band of friends studying for the
Jewish ministry. One night he attend
ed a Salvation Army meeting on the
East side. Capt. Vickery was leading
it. He, was attracted by the earnest
and lovely face Of the young woman on
the platform. He went again and
again to the meetings. He fell in love
with her. and then he joined the army.
There was an awful row when he re-
jected the faith of his fathers, and he
became as one dead to his people.
After serving awhile as secretary to
Commissioner Booth-Tucker, he was
sent to India in an important capacity.
There he is to stay for years, per-
haps. Thither his sweetheart will fol-
low him. They have been separated
two months, and Capt. Vickery will
sail this week The marriage will be
celebrated Immediately on her arrival

as delicate as it is possible for ma
chine to be, and the more one studies
it, the more one realizes the dellcacy
of his emotions"
This is by no means all that the
machine will accomplish, for it is I'M
mediately responsive to love, hate, un-
certainty, joy, sorrow and other ana
kindred emotions. LAS l stood in front
of the instrument, L thought of hate,
and instantly the needle receded from,
me violently. LoveGfolowed hate In
my brain, and the needle came toward
me at once and directly. My thoughts
grew uncertain. and the needle moved
in many directions, in aimless fashion
By an effort I concentrated my mind
upon the thought. that I wanted the
needle to come and 3femain before me.
Quicker than I could have expressed
my wish, the needle8swung to point
directly fronting where 1 stood and re-
mained in that position for fully a
minute and a half y
Hate, love, uncertainty" the inven-
tor named them all as the needle
moved. At all times he watched the
instrument as a father watches child
and yet to my certain knowledge he
could in no way have Influenced it's
action. Does the needle respond only
to volition?" I asked. every cerebral
radiation is registered by the needle" :"
he said, with or without the volition
of the gazer, for, as you know, there
is always unconscious cerebration. The
condenser below the needle regulates
its movements by absorbing all forces
other than cerebral emanation. Idiots
and persons addicted to drink, or the
taking of drugs, hardly defect the
needle for the reason that the brain
power has become paralyzed.
While, as I have said, this subject
has been my study for years, the first
idea Of this instrument came to me
when l was studying the movements Of
a sensitized needle suspended to show
earthquake oscillations. l noticed then
that the needle would be DETECTED by
the approach of an individual. From
this reasoned out the Invention which
you have seen work"
Several times of late years inventions
of the sort described, or rather, with
similar ends in viewEhave been talked
of, but none of them have proved sue
