CAN PHOTOGRAPH THOUGHT.

Plate So Sensitive that 1t Registers
the Mind Has Been Invented.
A photograph plate SO sensitive 1t
registers thought has been invented by
DR.. H. Travers Cole, a Chicagoan.
This sensitlzed plate of mysterious
composition will, when placed in utter
darkness near the forehead of one man,
register his thoughts by pulsations Of
Light, changes of color, and rhythmlcal
vibrations, changing as his thoughts
change, SO that the rhythm and the
changes are easily perceptible by an
other.
1t is simple device, but 1t seems to
prove conclusively that thought is an
active force, like electricity that every
thought has its own form, color and
motion; and that the rhythm and color
of thought sent out from the mind may
be recorded upon plate yet more high
ly sensitized, so that 1t may be read by
another long afterward.
Should DR.. Coles discovery admit of
further improvement he believes that

OIL PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN.

Jefferson In a Kosciusco Coat and
Other Relics in Fay Collection.
James Fay, an antiquarian among
whose art objects collectors have been
wont to delve and burrow, has placed
his entire collection on exhibition in the
former building of the Harmony Club
in West Forty-second street, says the
New York Herald.
Among the paintings the most con-
spicuous Is a life-size portrait Of Lin
coin in oils. 1t is well known that
Lincoln never sat for an oil portrait.
But this Is by William Mathews, who
was the choirmaster of the church that
Lincoln attended, and it Is assumed
that he had opportunities for making
sketches from which the portrait was
painted. For years it hung in the Cor
coran gallery. A marble bust Of Lin
coin was his own commission to G..
Lazzerenini, and was presented by Lin
coin to his friend, Morris Ketchum.
There is a portrait of Thomas Jeffer-
son wearing the fur-lined coat given
by Kosciusko.
From the Jumel mansion Is high,
curious combination of secretary and
sideboard Of mahogany, with falling
shelf and drawers and cupboards of
different sizes above and below. From
the Tuckerman house, in Washington,
is colonial couch, which Is vouched
for as the couch the pleasant duty Of
which 1t was once to give casual repose
to the father of his country. An un-
usual variant Of the Empire chair, but
called the washington chair" Is seen
here. Its mark is the gilded head OF
Washington, almost half life-size, which
finishes each Of the arms Of the chair
Large square Jacobean and Flemish
clothes presses, oak chairs with the
crest Of Henry Clay and many similar
objects of curious and historic interest
complete the collection.

CHURCH CHEERS
INDICTED BANKER

NEW YORK, Dec 20-There was
a curious scene in the sumner Az
enue Baptist church, Brooklyn,
when the regular services were
omitted and the meeting was
changed into one of sympathy for
John G. Jenkins sr., the indicted
president of the First National
bank of Williamsburg. The church
was crowded with friends, for Mr..
Jenkins has long been a prom
inent member of the church. and a
few years ago gave it $4,000. The
pastor of the church read resolu-
tons expressing the sympathy of
the congregation for Mr.. Jenkins
and their confidence in his honesty
and in a certain vindication.
For fully 10 minutes men clapped

Apeculiar grim smile came over
the face of the man who called
himself Amati. He hesitated no
longer, but with a single bound had
reached Veras side, his arm was
around her neck and his right hand
pressed to her lips before she could
utter sound.
"Be SILENT" he Kissed, "and all
will be well with you. Believe me,
| wish to do you no harm. You are
quite safe with me-"
Then, from his lips, came the
sound like that of a bird startled
from it's nest in the night and an
other man appeared. Almost before
Vera knew what was happening she
was half led, half carried through
the door and deposited in a cab. 1t
seemed to her that her senses were
fading away, that there was some
thing peculiarly sweet and faint
smelling on the handkerchief which
her assailant had pressed to her
lips. The cab drove away swiftly
and the lane was left in silence
once more.
Meanwhile the evening was pass
ing on, and Ravenspur was anxious
ly waiting for the moment when ii
would be time to get away. Walter
came into the garden presently
wondering what had become OF
Vera.
81 have been looking for her

from Vera's mother. The poor child
would naturally go off, thinking no

mot yet" Ravenspur said hoarse-
ly. Don't let us have any scandal
as long as We can possibly avoid it.
Well make another search Of the
grounds first"
Then two slipped out into the
grounds again and made a rapid
search of the garden. In the shrub
berry they found the great hound,
Bruno, patiently waiting there. He
crept up to Walters side and
rubbed his great, black muzzle
against his knee.
Here's an inspiration" Walter
exclaimed. IF Vera went away at
all, she must have gone by the back
gate. We will put Bruno on the
scent. and if-Hello, what this?"
The dainty white cambria. with.
| it's fringe of lace, caught Walters
eye. He withdrew the fragment
from under the dogs collar and
| held it up to one of the points of
| electric fame.
Here is a clew with venge-
ance," he exclaimed. This is.
Vera's handkerchief. Depend upon
| dog must have been with her at
the time she went, and she must
certainly have gone voluntarily, or
| the dog would have made short
work of the person with whom
Vera departed. She took this way
of letting us know she had gone.
and most assuredly she must have
gone by the back gate. What a
lucky thing 1t was that the dog
came here tonight. Let us put him
on the scent at once"
"Your suggestion is an inspira.
tion," Ravenspur muttered. 'Bnt
we can't go quite like this, you
know. Run back to the house AMI
get our coats and hats. Don't be
long"
Walter was back in a minute or
two with the wraps. Then he laid
his hand on the dogs collar and
led him down the path at the back
of the shrubbery The great beast
appeared to know exactly what was
wanted of him, for, after throwing
up his head and giving vent to a
long-drawn howl, he placed his
muzzle on the ground and scratch
ed furiOusly at the door, When
the road was reached, at length,
the dog tore along at furious rate,
so that the silk scarf twisted
round his collar tired Walters arms
terribly.
Still, that did not matter, as they
were making good progress now.
They went on and on, passing
i. street after street, until the dawn
came, and they were in a distant
, suburb. Before an attractive-look-
ing house, the blinds and shutters
of which We're closely drawn, Bru-
no paused and threw up his head.
This is the place right enough"
Walter whispered. BE careful, if
We are seen everything is spoilt."
