ena than perhaps ever has been done by
any body of investigators before. In
short they have forced science to recog-
nize the fact that psychic phenomena do
exist. and by their experiments have
placed the subject almost in the class
of exact sciences.
The latest test case affecting crystal
gazing concerns young lawyer of
Thames Dttou, London, named Percy
FoXwel
Foxwen it appears. left his home in
his usual health and spirits. During the
afternoon Mrs. FoXwell received tele-
gram from her husband asking her not
to wait dinner, as he could rot return
until later. From thatShnoment moth
ing more was seen or heard of him
Mrs. Foxwell was distracted at his dis
appearance. The police were commu-
ricated with and special detectives en-.
gagged. Days passed, but nothing trans
pired. A reward OF $50, afterward in
ration concerning the Whereabouts of
the missing lawyer. but still without re-
suit.
1t was in condition bordering upon
despair that Mrs. Foxwell determined to
seek the aid of clairvoyance. To this
end she called upon a Mr.. Won Bourge.
Il clairvOyant and avowed spiritualist.
who is practicing professionally in the
vest end of London.
Saw Picture of the Dead.
Won Bourg not only gave her many de-
tails correctly, but through his psychic
powers enabled her to see in his crys-
tai, first the form of her husband in
life, then his dead body lying in the
water. Not only that. Mr.. Won Bourg
and another medium accurately describ-
ed the position of the water, asserting
that it was not more than mile from
the house. that there was grass on the
banks, and a dropping tree overhanging
where the body was lying.
The mediums declared themselves
conscious of severe pains on the left side
of the head, and attributed this to the
probability that Mrs Foxwell had met
with his death by a blow on the left side
of the skull.
Subsequently. under the directions Of
the mediums. the spot indicated by them
was sought and found, and the next
morning Mr.. Foxwell's body was found
not far from the spot, by some water
men. At the inquest, held later, the
doctors called attention to some slight
depressions -on the left side of the head
possibly due to blows.
On another occasion friend went 10
see Won Bourg for a few minutes con-
versation. Mr.. Won Bourg asserts that
when shaking hands with his friend a
strange repellant feeling came over him.
feeling which in spite of all his ef-
forts he could not shake off. He per-
suaded his friend to hold the crystal,
with the result that Won Bourg predict
ed that within twenty-four hours he

difficulties. The sequel of the case was
that his friend next morning found him
self ruined man through the extensive
embezzlements of one of his employees.
1t Is Easy to Explain.
Again lady called upon him profess
sionally. She did not tell him her bus
mess at once. but as she sat before him
Mr.. Won Bourg distinctly saw lin his
minds eye" that usually she wore
around her neck long gold chain, al
though when she entered the apartment
that chain was not there. He immedi-
ately put the question to her: You
have come to consult me concerning
lost jewelry?" The lady admitted such
was the fact. day or two later Mr.
Won Bourg went TO Brighton and there
by means of his crystal showed where
the missing jewelry would eventually
be found. A few days afterward he re-
ceived a telegram stating that the
jewels had been discovered in the very
spot that he had predicted-under the
edge of a CARPET
While these cases may seem extraor-
binary to those who have not studied
this interesting subject, nevertheless
they merely form examples of the A B
C of psychic science, and the possibility
of such cases would not be questioned by
and student of the subject. They form
only another proof of the existence of
