This Judge Proved That He Was No
Respecter of Persons.

Judge Mcguire, one of the California

sits down in one of the cloak rooms
to enjoy his cigar, half a dozen of
his colleagues will always : gather
around in the hope of getting him start

cences. Most of these have to do with
matters that have occurredMin some
court or other on the Pacific slope.
"A certain well-knOwn judge in Cali

the reminiscent moods, sis a great
stichler for punctuality. He was worse

excuse was accepted for being late, and
punctuality became quite the rule in

IS TELEPATHY REAL

Professor croOkes' Theory as to Thought
so .F Transierence.
RESULTS OF PsYcHIcAL RESEARCH
Some Experiments Which Have Been
Made Under Conditions which

Parties Highly Improbable, Tested
and Reported by the Famous Society

From the Washington Correspondence Of
tthe Philadelphia Times.
DO our brains send out waves?
Men of science both here and abroad
are discussing the newly launched the
ory of Professor Crookes, the noted
English chemist and physicist, who
believes that brain waves are the cause
of hitherto unexplained cases of So
called thought-transference. What Is
regarded as even more significant than
his offered explanation of telephatic
phenomena is the professors admis-
sion that such phenomena really exist.
He is the first eminent man of science
who has ever placed upon record his
belief that thought ht-transference Is a
possibility. A glance at Professor
Crookes' record will explain why his
remarks are given great weight by
men of sober judgment. He is of that
class of scientists from whom we gen.
orally expect the most conservative
views founded upon deductions drawn
only from well-weighed facts. Pro-
fessor Crookes is best known just now
as the inventor of the Crookes tube
used in the discovery of the X-rays.
He is also the inventor of the radio
meter and the discoVerer of thallium.
He was the founder Of the British
Chemical News, and is now the editor
of the famous Quarterly Journal of
Science.
Professor Crookes says that n great
deal of the evidence which has proved
to him the real existence of telepathy
and kindred powers has been collected
through the agency of the famous So
ciety for Psychial Research, of which
he is the president. The writer hav-
ing access to the private records of
the society, has selected some of the
most remarkable of these recent cases
reported both to the American and
English branches during the past year
These cases are reported for the most
part by members or associates of the
society and the evidence of the per-
sons concerned is weighed by a pro-
cess which appears to exclude fakes
and shams.
