deal of smoke is rising, but do not see where it comes from.
 Now the woman is being brought into the circle by two more priests. They lift her up and place her on the stone, Some hideous figures like idols are also being brought into the ring. One of them which see very clearly is colored bright red and yellow and on its breast is very crude picture of the sun.
 ''The woman is lying with her head toward the east and her feet toward the west, and the chief priest is stand ing on her left side with his face to- ward the east His right hand holds a knife and he is raised up. Evidently a chant is being sung, for can see the mouths of the priests opening and shutting and they are swaying their bodies from side to side.
 Suddenly the priest brings the knife right down into the heart of the girl. I can see the blood spurt out and flow over the stone. The body gives a bound and the priest presses forward his left hand to keep it down.
 ''The people have disappeared, but the priests remain, and they are bring ing forward vessels bulging in the cen ter and slightly tapering toward the bottom-something like an egg in shape. One brings a grape cup from which smoke is issuing.
 Some small part of the body is re- moved and placed on top of the grape cup, where it shrivels away and is turned into ashes. The ashes are placed in one of the jars and the other parts of the body are then treated ir the same way,
 Skins of some kind are placed over the body and it is bornoe away on g litter.
 "All is darkness now and I can set nothing. Now I see the moon. 1t k strange I did not see 1t before. w have come to an open spot in the glade of the wood.
 "Only @ dozen or so priests are pres ent and they perform strange ceremo. nies They form a ring around it Their movements are most grotesque They bend themselves forward anC backward, to one side and to the other They have taken up the body again and they are going on again.
 "They come to a grave shaped like { little cell They place the body in this bending it up with face toward thu east. They put some ornaments tn, grave, and they put fruits in tn, grape cup.
 Now it is utter darkness-the dark ness of the grave.
 MT. Bradley explained before trying to explain ad uravel the mystery o the skeleton that he was quite ignoran of the archaeology of the period; tha he had no books upon the subject ex cept perhaps a small encyclopaedia and that he had not referred to an. books. He explaied psychometrist a. follows
 ITO those who are coneious of ant sesitive to psychological vibrationi there are produced, on coming int contact with the urroundings of ob jects from surroundings, subjectiv, pictures relative to the lives of thos in such surroundings.

EN7 ERTAINME ENTS.
Hyperion Theates.

It is a peculiar fact often observed in the theaetr that those plays that are maddeningly disappointing at the final dress rehearsals become very great successes. Two very interesting cases in point are "The Geezer," by Joseph Herbert, which was presented by Web CT and Fields at their little music hall on Twenty-eighth street about eight years ago, and Burnside and Kerker's musical comedy, "The Tourists" now being played at the Majestic theater, New York, and which comes to the Hy- perion theater tonight. Weber and Fields after seeing the dress rehearsal of The Geszer," were so disappointed that they set at work to engage a vau- deville company to replace it. This, of course, before the opening night, and yet "The Gsezer" was the greatest suc- cess that Weber and Fields ever en- joyed. It is no secret now that after the dress rehearsal the evening before the first performance of "The Tourists" 1" one of the biggest hits of the present season In New York, the author and composer left the theater with tears in their eyes, and with no hope of the play escaping dismal failure.

"rHE MrrMrc AND TH,E MAID "


 The attraction at the Hyperion the ater Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon is Allen Lowe and A. Baldwin Sloane's latest work, The Mimic and the Maid" While this piece is as yet unknown locally, people have cometo look for something exceptional ly good wherever either of these two is concerned, and certainly their joint work should prove especially attract i've. From all reports the piece Is well filled with musical numbers which seem Ito have lit and swing which are so sure to catch the public fancy, and which half the town will be whistling within 8 few days,
 The comedy of the piece is somewhat out of the regular line, and should re- suit in producing jubilation of all de- grees, beginning with smile and running the gamut through simper, smirk, grin, giggle, litter, chuckle, laughter and shouts. As for the company, it holds in store many surprises.
