thing drifted away from her. Her eyes
dilated until the iris seemed to ill the en-
tire eye: her ndsraised, droope6, raised.
and dropped again half dozen times;
all color left her face: her lips remained
slightly open; her breathing was regular
and even throughout the entire test. and
her hands were warm There was moth
ing unnatural about her appearance
while she passed into psyehoma unless
one could call this gradual slipping away
Of ner outer consciousness So
SEEMED TO GO TO SLEEP.
As matter of fact. she simply seemed
to go 10 sleep. The Intensity OF ner gaze
into the eyes OF Rayon and the remark
able dilation OF her eyes were really the
only objective signs OF an unusual con-
dtior. Presently her eyes remained
closed. Then Rayon turned and said:
she is in psychoma now"
Turning to Ella ne said;
do you feel all right?'
No answer.
DO you hear me speak to you.
Efa?"
Silence, then. in a faint, far away
voice, Yes she replied.
DO you feel weli?"
yes" Tie voice had strange, re-
mote sound as though it came from
great distarce.
May 1 talk with her now?" the re-
porter asked.
Rayon smiled.
You may speak to her, but she will
not hear you. She can hear nothing now
but my voice.
The reporter spoke to her. but got no
reply. nor did she once in a test that
lasted fully half an hour give any indi-
cation that she knew OF any presence
but Rayon's. Every question that the
reporter asked was repeated 70 her by
Rayon before a reply was given. It
seemed singular on several occasions. as
it was difficult TO understand that per-
son VINO hears one speak can not hear
another. Rayon held her hand all the
time and watched her with a close and
tender solicituje, evidently guarding her
from any possible malefic current she
might encounter.
SAW BRAIN CELLS.
Rayon asked: what would you like
to do. Elfa?"
She replied: II do not know yet"
Then: 81 observe a curious and unusual
action of the brain cells"
"Where?" the reporter asked.
"Where?" repeated Rayor-
There" She pointed with her left
hand toward the reporter.
Rayon seemed much plea sed. AS for
the reporter, she knew that at that mo-
ment there was not only an unusual &C
ton of the brain cells but probably of
the entire nervous system. 1t is not
possible TO stand and view the seeming
action of an unknown, mysterious power.
70 feel the action OF an unknown force
sweeping through one from head 10 foot,
and remain unmoved. II was against
the reporters viii that she was cAosen
as the subject for investigation, but
since she was she is obliged in candor
TO admit that in half an hours eXplOra-
ton Of her physical and mental econ
omy Ella told ner things concerning
herself which in some instances are
known only to herself and in others
were known only to enc or two other
persons, who had never heard of Ella.
The most remarkable OF all that Ella
told were several matters connected
with the workings OF them and, mention
ing particularly that bane Of all brain
workers of nervous temperament, a
more rapid action of the mind than can
be translated in words.
Il see." she said, this excessively
rapid action of the brain cells. The
thought vibrates back and forth, and
when an idea absorbs you intensely you
cannot sometimes find words rapidly
enough with which to express il. You
need more passirity. more time; you
work too rapidly"
COLOR OF THE AURA
Aside from this Ella went on to tell
the color Of the reporters aura. The
aura has been recognized from time i'm
memorial in occult science as belonging
10 every person as surely as the features
OF the face. Ella described ii as of vary
ing color and density, the prej0minating
tint being that of an orange snOt With
red brightest about the head and in the
lower part Of the body and varying in
tint and color with the emotions. This
and certain other matters which she
mentioned are not capable of demon
stration in the ordinary way. but a
physical condition which sne described
was true to the last detail. After ex-
ploring the reporters brain and the
workings Of her mind with an accuracy
that was surprisingly intimate Ella fell
into silence. Three times, through Ray
on. the reporter had asked Ella 70 turn
her attention elsewhere. but she paid
rot the slightest heed. and after several
moments OF complete silence Ella said:
'You have mad trouble with your ear
for some time"
(Which carr asked the reporter.
