A thrifty woman of Augusta began
experimenting some time ago to learn
what effect the Georgia climate would
have upon imported silkworms. A
room in her house was given up to
their use and mulberry leaves in
abundance were supplied to them.

in numbers and to escape to other
parts of the house, whatever spot they
CHANGED upon became sacred to them.

attempt of an English clergyman
named Clarence Godfrey to project
himself" into the presence of friend
at a distance. The attempt was made
on the night of Nov. Is, 1886.
The result Of his attempt, as de-
scribed in the account written out at
his request by the "percipient." who
it should perhaps be added, had had
no intimation of the experiment, was
as follows: "Yesterday--viz., the
morning Of Nov. 16, 18S6-about half
past 3 o'clock I woke up with start
and an idea that someone had come
into the room. I heard a curious
sound, but fancied it might be the
birds in the ivy outside. Next l ex-
perienced strange, restless longing
to leave the room and go downstairs.
This feeling became so oyerpowering
that at last arose and lit candle
and went down, thinking that if could
get some soda water it might have
a quieting effect.
"On returning to my room l saw
Mr.. Godfrey standing under the large
window on the staircase. He was
dressed in his usual style and with
an expression on his fact that l have
noticed when he has been looking
very earnestly at anything. He stood
there and l held up the candle and
