L,TTLe MYSTERIES OF LIFE.
Curious Happenings for Which There Ap.
peers to Be No Explanation.

writer of this article is personally
acquainted with family, who are
susceptible to certain warning, and
once had the uncanny experience of
hearing it himself.
One night child lay i'll. In the
room next to it the governess slept.
On the following morning sh" spoke
of tapping at her window during
the night and was surprised to see
that the father of the child was vio-
lently Affected by her remark. The
child died early on the following
morning.
Some years afterward the writer,
in company with member Of this
family and some other friends, was
seated in room playing cards.
Suddenly he heard three distinct
taps at large French window
which opened into the garden.
Looking up, his gaze met that of his
friends, and he saw sndden pallor
come into the latter's face. After
ward he mentioned the occurrence,
and received the reply that it was
the death tap he had heard. Surely
enough, a telegram arrived on the
following day to say that his friends
grandmother was dead.
Another instance occurred in the
writer's own family. A lady dreamed
that she was journeying to the west
of England. At Swindon she left
the train and waited in the waiting
room until branch connection ar
rived. Suddenly she looked up at
the clock and saw that it registered
7.15. Al that moment dense
blackness came over the ace ,e and
she remembered nothing more.
The next day the news arrived
that her mother had died at 7.15
that same morning in her home in
the west of England.
Life is full of little inexplicable
mysteries. They occur every dav,
and are passed by as being merely
ordinary. Whenever the conversa-
tion turns on telepathy or the occult
sciences there is always some one
with story of the mysterious TO tell.
About ten years ago, on a large
open tract of land in the north of
London tnow fortunately covered
with red brick villas), number of
boys were playing cricket. Sud-
denly there came a loud, humming
noise, like the combined droning
of thousands of bees, and great
stone larger than mans fist whizzed
across the center of the pitch and
embedded itself in bank. Almost
Immediately it was followed by
another and then third.
Although they waited in hiding
for some time there was no repeti-
tion of the mysterious missiles. The
question then arose, where could they
have come from The nearest
house was quite 400 yards away, and
machine to have sent these large
stones whirling at such frightful
pace over this distance would be
rather an extraordinary article of
furniture for suburban villa. So
the cause of this remarkable occur
renee yet requires explanation.
In the same district, few years
back, four young men were seated in
a room playing whist. Suddenly,
just after midnight, the door, which
had been latched, opened slowly
until it had reached it's fullest limit.
In surprise the players looked up,
but no one was standing in the door
way. Then, ere one of them could
move, the door slowly closed itself
again. Immediately one of the
young men jumped up, pulled the
door open and stared up and down
the hall, but there was absolute
silence and no one about.
Some years ago gentleman was
seated at a table busily writing. AT
the moment he was alone i'm the
house. Suddenly he heard the pat
