A LECTURE ON THEosoPHY.
G. W. Leadbcnter Delivers His Sec
ond Address on the Unseen World.

A second public lecture on theosophy
was delivered by c. w. Leadbeater. oil
London. under the auspices Of the WASH
ington Theosophical Society, last Might at
Masonic Hall. Mr.. Leadbeater chose Tor
the subject of his discourse, The Unseen
World" The speaker discussed the ques-
ton from its scientific standpoint.
The unseen world" said Mr.. Leadbea-
ter. .fs about us all the time. 1t is not
beyond the stars where we cannot subject
it to the evidences of science. IL is nh-
seen because men have not acquired the
power to perceive it, Have we perfect
and definite information concerning the
unseen world? Undoubtedly we have, in
the accounts of apparitons. and of seers
who have acquired the power to see.
Science has always Acknowledged the
unseen world Bacteria and other things
are matters unknown to most of the world,
but science has doubted if definite know
ledge was obtainable concerning the other
side of death.
"An knowledge concerning the outer
world is obtainable through the action of
vibrations. Vibrations convey the impress
sions to the senses of sight and of hear
ing. by which the greater number of ideas
are impressed upon the mental vision. II
is the brain that perceives and hears.
The ear and eye are the principal means
OF receiving lnfurn1dIiOH
The speaker then considered the scien-
tifc value of vibrations. noting the fact
that certain vibrations when increased or
decreased beyond certain limitations were
unseen or unheard. He also commented
upon the fact that men differed in their
ability to see the limita tions of the ultra
violet in the spectrum. Regarding the
Roentgen rays. he spoke of the vast diff
ference that the ability TO perceive few
additional vibrations had made in the ex-
tension of human experiences. The ex-
periments of spirit photographs. and in
the field of thought photography were
also commented upon.

THE SHAKESPEARE CLUB.
Birthday of the Bard of Avon Ap-
propriateIy Celebrated.

The Shakespeare Club held its thirty
second annual meeting in honor of the
35Ith anniversary of the birth of William
Shakespeare Saturday evening. May 4, at
the home of Edwin B. Hay. 1872 Corco-
ran Street. The programme offered called
out the histrionic talent of the members
as well as included intervals of music
and recitation. Rev Frank NJ Bristol
gave an eloquent resume of the character
and genius of the father of English drama
and the lasting fame of Shakespeare.
THE world has had two schools of
drama he said, that of Greece, classi-
cal and perfect in its narrow sphere-that
the nations of Europe still follow-while
English drama, founded many centuries
later by Shakespeare. is as broad as hu-
nanity, for it's author was inspired by
study of nature. man. and the Bible,
showing deep acquaintance with all three.
At time and in an age when the popu-
lar drama partook of phases of life that
would not be permitted on the stage in our
day, he left in his work impress only of
the chaste and true.

son last night in the banquet hall of the

presided over by John A. Kasson, the
President of the association, was well at
tended.
Frederick v Coville read an interesting
paper on early botanical activity in the
District of Columbia He spoke of the
work accomplished by the Washington
Botanical Society, which was organized
in the early days of 1900 and it was
largely due to the efforts of this society
that the Botanic Gardens were estab-
lished by Congress. His paper was very
elaborate. and was attentively listened to.
He was loudly applauded at the close.
The Rev. Byron Sunderland read a pa
per on the "reminiscences of Washington
as it was in 1S52-56 DR.. Sunderland said
he esteemed ii a special honor conferred
on him by the association to read his his
torical paper. Washington, in 1852. he said,
was an oVergrOwn village, which had the
appearance of having been swept along
the banks of the Potomac by a hurricane.
He then referred to the points of interest
which were sought by strangers-the navy
yard and the marine barracks, He quoted
from the statistics of the time to give an
idea of the then existing conditions. and
to impress upon the minds of his hearers
the wonderful progress made by the city

night was supplementary to the series
given by them during the past season.
and was arranged Ia response to the de-
mands of large number of music lovers
who were unable to attend the others.
The programme was very carefully ar
ranged, including a Beethoven quartette,
the Tschaikowsky quartette, the andante
C'Death and the Maiden from Schuberts s
qgartette in D minor, the scherzo from
Msndelssohns quartette in + minor, and
solos for Mr.. Kneisel and Mr.. Schroeder
The string quartette has always been
favorite medium for the expression of the
best ideas of the classic masters, and
some of Beethoven's greatest compost
tions were cast in this form. Although
the work played last night belongs to his
early period, II is very beautiful, and was
given with the smoothness, finish. and
perfection for which the Kneisels are
justly celebrated.
The Beethoven selection formed strik-
Ing contrast in form and contents to the
Tschaikowsky work, which IS highly mod
ern in its theme and treatment The two
excerpts. which have been played several
times before, received polished treatment
All the members of the quartette are
individually fine artists, and their work
is as near perfection as incessant prac-
ucing and playing together can accom-
plish. Mr. Schroeder chose for his solo

strings. He played IL with rare sympathy
and exquisite finish. and was accompanied
by the remaining members of the quar-
tette, as was Mr. kneisel in his solo.

nance OF the Bach Air for violin and
string accompaniment. Mr.. Kneisers

Bach and he played with his accustomed
command of his instrument
Altogether the concert was a musical

they expressed their appreciation by
spontaneous and prolonged applause.
