II 1t is because am more anxious to
get forward in the ascertainment of
7Ihe facts governing the invisible world
around us that I have very reluctant
ly decided to make a temporary post
ponement OF the publication of a jour-
nal devoted to the borderland. l think
it mere important to devote what time
[ have to spare to original investiga-
Ition rather than to the issue of a quar-
te:ly survey of the field. In the most
hostile quarters, it has been most re-
luCtantly admitted that, however &C.
centric L might be. nevertheless it was
impossible, in view of the publication
of my journal, to maintain seriously,
that no one but lunatic, or an i'm
be Gle, or a knave, could believe in
realty Of occult phenomena.
/ l have suspended the journal, because
i believe in it more than ever, and be-
cause 1 have a confident expectation
that. after the period of suspension we
shall be able to come back bearing
tprcofs that will confound the most OBJ
stinate skeDtic in the materalistic
ranks.
The time is coming when all the
churches will recognize that in this
obscure and much r:dicUled field of in
'Vcstigation lies their best hope of re
establishing on scientific foundation the
faith which materialistic science has
succeeded. not in SCATTERING, but in
shaking. The old faith will be built up
more strongly than ever, but some of
the old foundations have mouldered
away under the corroding influences of
modern science.

make more progress il spiritual investi-
cation than I have been able to record

tics suggest from my own subconscious
self, l can only say that the subconsi-
GUS self is SO distinct from it's conscious
counterpart, that to me it is distinct
individuality, and one which I am
afraid I must admit is upon a much
higher moral and spiritual plane.
1 suspend my journal because Julia
has so decreed. That it gives her as
much pain as it does me to part tenn
porarily from this literary creation, is
shown by the beginning Of the follow

began to write for them, and have had much
blessed evidence as to the help which my let
tiers have given to many who had otherwise
almost despaired.

present my letters must cease, I feel more

capable Of drawing eight cars. and.
furthermore, that the cars could be
lHaded with passengers, and my little
engine could still pull them along at a
good speed. Then I extended my
track, giving the engine and cars a
run of 400 feet in circle. Each of my
cars could carry three children and
two adults, so you will see that the To-
connective built in my spare time was
no SLOUGH when it came to drawing
powers. L have carried as many as
eighteen passengers in one load. and
the locomotive has shown no signs of

engine making and see what would
come Of it. I made the patterns care
fully and had them cast. Then I put
them together, built a miniature track,
filled the boiler with water, lighted the
ire in the furnace, and away went my
little engine under a full Roadway of
steam, putting and blowing and
screeching like a real live fuil-grown
locomotive. If Stevenson felt half as
happy over his clumsy locomotive as
1 did over my neat little miniature
one, then he must have been consider
ably elated.
But an engine without cars is a use
less piece of machinery, and I began
to have a glimner Of hope that my

often wish that I could reduce myself
to so small a compass as to be able to

Our Losses In the Fighting.
The fighting Friday and Saturday cost

mate is made by the surgeons at division
headquarters after careful figuring by
the surgeons at the hospitals. The list of
wounded. as made up at the division head
quarters, Is very large in proportion to the
list OF those killed outright. Probably less
than 100, all told, of the number of wound
ed have died. making the total number of
deaths in the neighborhood of 100. The re-
mainder of the wounded will probably re-
cover.
Disposition Of Cervera.
The disposition Of Admiral Cervera and

ton Of naval officials. but no exact de-
termination has vet been reached. Ad-

officials expressed a sense Of gratihcati ton

erous praise to Commodore Schley for the
notable manner in which he directed the
