or gloves which are so largely bought
by workingmen may be waterproofed
by dipping them in melted parahne;
or, if thinner coat is preferred, and
only on the palms of the mitts, mel

their surface. For handling damp

gloves, for use by farmers in wet
weather, may be waterproofed in the
same way. The coating of parahne
may be renewed as often as the sur
face needs it. Mitts and gloves, even
boots for ditchers, last longer when
treated with parafne, because the
water can do them little damage.

Enter Richard Hodgson

II this region Of inquiry no ore was more success
fu than recruit from distant Australia by name
Richard Hodgson Hodgson, unlike Sldgwlck and
Myers and many Others cf his associates, had not
engaged in psychic research from the hope that
the truths of the Bible might thereby be demon
strated. His motive was that OF the detective
eager to yrlrave mysteries. From his boyhood
he had had singular fondness for solving tricks
and puzzles of all sorts and when IN 1873 he came
to England complete his education at Cambridge
he naturally gravitated into the company OF oldS-
wick Myers and Gurney, as men bus1ed III an
undertaking that appealed to his detective instinct

MEANTIME the example of this little Cam
1Si bridge group had been followed by other IN
vestigators; and IN 1870, before no less dgnlfled
and conservative q body than the British Assoc1a-
ton for the Advancement OF Science, the proposal
was made that a special committee be appointed
for the systematic examination OF spirtuastic and
kindred phenomena The idea was broached by
" Barrett professor OF physics at the Koya
College OF Science Dublin. and was warmly sec
onded bv Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace and William
CroOkes. TWO distinguished sc1entlStS VINO heq
already made experiments IN psychic research ana
were destined TO wide renown as ghost hunters
For some reason nothing was done al the tune
but five wears later Professor Barrett renewed ms
succession asking Myers and Gurney II they would

they replied they would gladly do, provided Sldg-
wick could be induced TO accept Its presidency y
