SIR OLIVER LODGES VIEW.
Sir Oliver Lodge, commenting on
the remarkable photographs described
above by Professor Richet, points out
the advantage Of the various photo
graphs taken by Professor Richet being
"stereoscopic' that Is, giving three di-
mensions. He says:

the admittedly real and human persons

sketchy outline OF a face; but a face,

Of light and shade, it unquestionably is.
1t looks like real face with rather a

Oliver Lodge. "as Is every one olse. that
phenomena OF much the same kind have
been observed and vouched for as gen

responsible authorities have bean forced
by actual experience to admit that such
things can occur. Whatever may turn
out to be the real explanation OF these
photographs, they are the best OF the
kind I have recently seen. and whereas
the so-called spirit photographs have

LONDON, April 14.-It is to be hoped
that the American women in London
will not kill with kindness Mrs Long
worth when she comes among them in
June. If she succeeds in appearing at
one-fifth of the festivities which are
being arranged for her by Britishers as
well as Americans she will be very
clever, indeed. The King and Queen
have intimated to the American EN-
hassador, Whitelaw Reid that they will

vately in the first instance, but there
is also to be a royal dinner party at
Buckingham Palace in their honor, and
among we'll known Americans who will
be invited TO be presented are Consuelo
Duchess of Manchester, Mr.. and Mrs
Whitelaw Reid, the Duchess of Marl-
borough, Lady Naylor Leyland, Mrs.
Chauncey and a few others.

Mrs. Longworth will make Dorchester

them to spend a few days with her at
her new house In Windsor. =
The story goes that the City of Lon
don will also entertain this interesting e
couple at one of the luncheons for
which the Mansion House is renowned.
The Lord Mayor and Corporation of
London pride themselves on being the

BUDAPEST, April 14.-Much excite
ment, coupled with much regret, has been
aroused here by the news that Hungary s
most popular and beloved Princess, the
Archduchess Clothilda, is in financial diff
ficulties. Twenty million kronen, or s4,-
100000, is said to be the total of her debts
and liabilities.
The story is a painful one of an I'M
perial Princess utterly ignorant of finance
and commerce being led into all kinds Of
rash speculations by those who ought to
have been the very ones TO safeguard
her against such undertakings. The EN-
peror, who was recently informed of the
whole affair, is exceedingly displeased
His Majesty has In his long life witnessed
many scandals among the members of
his imperial house, but the spectacle. Of
an Archduchess becoming involved in
building speculations, theatrical ventures,
lime and. chemical trusts and combines
and all sorts of other wildcat schemes
Is one which he has hitherto been spared.
Archduchess Clothilda is so years Of age,
and a widow, her husband, the Archcuke
Joseph, Palatine of Hungary, having died
nearly year ago She was born Prn-
Gees of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and her
brothers are Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garia and Prince Philip Of Saxe-Coburg,
WHOSE matrimonial and divorce affairs
with the eccentric Princess Louise of Bel
gium have recently been so much before
the public. The Archduchess' eldest son,
Archduke Joseph, succeeded his father
as Palatine Of Hungary, and two of her
daughters are married respectively to the
well known Duke OF Orleans and Prince
Thurn and Texis.
SECRETARY WASTES FUNDS.
The story of the Archduchess' money
troubles goes back less than ten years.
Fifty years OF her L..e passed quietly and
unevenIully, undisturbed by monetary
cares. She had dowry OF 1000, 900 kro-
nen Cs40o, 600, which was carefully invest
ed. and during her long married life the
principal had considerably increased, in
fact, It is said to have trebled itself.
In 1895, through the influence of Court
Secretary Unterauer the Archduchess was
persuaded to embark in extensive build
ing speculations in the central part of
Budapest. Two magnificent palaces
known as the C1othildenpalais, and an i'm
mense apartment house were erected at a
cost Of considerably over 100000 kronen
(s1. 900. .00O).
The Archduchess had unbounded conf
dence In Unterauer, who seems to have
had entire charge Of her money and made
numerous speculative investments with 1t
without her knowledge. This first build
ing speculation proved q disastrous fail
ure. The rentable value of the properties
turned out to be much less than had been
Anticipated in view OF the heavy expendi-
ture upon them
But the next speculations were even
more disastrous. The Court Secretary
had been brought into connection with a
very prominent business man who was
interested in the manufacture of lime,
bone manures and other chemical pro-
ducts. Unterauer bought large blocks of
shares on behalf of his imperial mistress,
who gradually became deeply involved in
the chemical industry. Unterauer and his
associates then started out to form

The more carefully the whole affair

Judging from reports arriving from On

as thev we'll could be. and on no grounds
