Why SpOOks Shrivel.

Among other remarkable thinks cone
by Eldred was the presentation OF his
own body in shriveled up condition
leaving only his frock coat seated on
tho chair This remarkable exhibit
ion DID not seem 20 surprise the spirit
ualists greatly. They accounted for it
by affirming that. during the mater
iallzation of spirlt-form, the body of
the medium Is utilized by the spirits
They take away so much OF his phys
iCal substance to make up for their
own deficiencies, that the medium ac-
tually shrinks up. Eldred, on the oc-
casion Of mis- London seances. actually
called attention 20 the fact that the
skin on his neck and cheeks had dwin-
died considerably

for persons 10 hold hands: and every
one must solemnly promise not to

TO this reason that would-be skeptics
are restrained from personally selzing
supposed spirits more often than they
do.
Just before the last Eldred perform
ance began, certain members OF the
circle came forward and demanded an
examination of the chair. This Eldred
refused. Finally, after much argu-
ment, a key 90 the false cabinet vas
produced. This. on being unlocked,
