dimensional being heartily laugh to scorn the

Without moments warning he might make his
appearance in the midst of any assembly gathered
behind closed doors: might starte wakefu sleeper

exactly within the plane of existence, he would
be invisible, and to all intents and purposes nom

Stranger STILL in four-dimensional space the in
animate objects of our three dimensonal universe,
as well as man himself would, could, undergo
singular changes. Were motion in the fourth
dimension possible" to quote from Professor Simon
Newcomb who deemed the subject of sufficient i'm
the American Mathematical Society, " an object
moving in that dimension could be turned in such
a way that on being brought back 1t would be OBJ
verted or appear in a looking glass man
capable of such motion would come back into our
sight similarly diverted, his left side would now be
his right without any change having taken place in
the relative positions of the particles of his body.
The somersault he would have turned would have
completely diverted every atom and molecule OF
his body without introducing any disturbance in its
operations. -
And in like manner with any ee-dimensional
object, however massive The greatest of the
pyramids, caught up into four dimensional space,
could be diverted with while all hollow articles,
like balls, gloves etc, could be turned completely
inside out without damage to the substance COM

dime nSon, would come back a lett hand glove, ana
vice versa.
Could We Be Conscious of 1t
THE possibility of all this has been demonstrated
by mathematicans with absolute exactness. But
its actuaity is quite another question. The great
difficulty is to prove, to recognize. four
dimensonal action. In fact. the prevailing view
the dark, owing to the limitation of
periences But there those who hold to the con-
trary. Especially was this the case with the late
Charles H. Hinton, who died in Washington last
spring after many years devoted to four-dimen-
sonal investigation Beg inning with the idea of
two-dimensional world, Hinton worked out scheme
by which its Inhabitants despite their limited con-
seriousness, could attain conception of the third
dimension and by analogy he extended this to
provide three dimenSiOnal beings like ourselves with
means of recognizing the fourth dimension.
1t became his conviction too that our space
three-dime nsonal space-had infinitely small
thc' ness in the fourth dimension and that in this
the atoms enjoying four-dimenso motion. In
this connection might be mentioned the interesting
circumstance that the alleged frequent and SEEM
ingly unaccountable disappearance of small objects
from closed rooms is sometimes advanced IN support
of the theory of the fourth dimension; the idea
rolled of the plane of three dimensional space
and hence have become invisible
Of course, the problem would be brought much
solution genuine phenomena recorded
of the type presented in SHADES bamboozling of
Professor Zollner But it is unfortunate fact
that not once have such manifestations been pro-
duced under conditions forbidding three dimen-
expressed by the single word fraud. The riddle OF
the fourth dimension remains, accordingly, as pro-
found a puzzle as ever, and time alone determine
whether its answer will be found

Bridget Stanton, who died Decem-

entire estate, valued at $4,000 with

off whom she nursed when they were
children. The old nurses will, which

A womans scheme Of gagging and

legs Of a sewing machine mad table
after scattering the contents of bu-
reau drawers over the floor all for
the purpose of winning the sympathy
of her husband who went to church
meetings instead of staying home of
nights, was brought to the attention
of the Chicago police few nights
ago.
Mrs. Christian ROsSing, bride of a
few months, was the woman. She is
the wife of Albert Ressing, a but
terine maker. Mr.. Rossing left home
last evening to attend church meet
ing, and when he returned, two hours
later, he found his wife in the pre-
dicament described above. After she
had been revived by a physician, she
said two burglars had invaded the
house and bound her.
Rossing notified the police, and
three detectives were sent to invest
gate. To them the woman repeated
the story she had told her husband,
adding a too graphic description OF
the two men. 1t was this minute des-
cription that led to suspicion After
a little questioning, she said, SCbbing:
Il was not robbed at all. i just pre-
tended it to win the sympathy OF my
hus band and get him to stay home
with me at night.
