ed in a bit of fiimsy white material
like a handkerchief that she was
once noticed to carry with her.
And the heads? Hoy dolefully the
wonder of those instantaneous heads
as they figured in the foreign reports,
much-described small black head, with
grotesque features, that darts out
from the curtain in the gloom and as
suddenly disappears-thati is her hand
swathed this time in a piece of black
stuff The features were apparently
made by her fingers held in peculiar
way. We saw, once or twice, a most
uncanny white hand, almost luminous,
a witch's evocation, indeed. If it was
not the mere contrast with the black
curtain that made the effect and the
wilderness that comes from holding
the hand up a while so that the blood
runs out she may have to have some
whitening powder of luminous sub
stance We never seized Ensapia and
searched her suddenly. She would
certainly have protested. She invited
search before the sitting, and that
was repeatedly made. The other
would have been illegal, an assault,
and would also nave cut short our
investigation. No naturalization what
ever appeared except when there was
reason to believe that the medium
he'd her left hand free. She is efthand-
ed. And every naturalization was
such as her eft hand could produce.
Breezes Under The Table.
Then the breezes! Through all the
foreign accounts these eerie breezes

den blowing out of the curtain, ETC.,
and, chief of all, the famous breeze
"from a scar above the forehead.
The curtain is flung out by her arm
and hand, and makes a breeze as it
is flung. When it bulges out slightly,
this is apparently done by her foot
or hand. Again, the folds of it SILVER
slightly when, in the manner of a
sorc9ress, she holds some ones hand
and calls for the spirit to
come.
The prosaic cause of this phenome-

ways near the curtain and with a lit
tie pickering of the mouth blows
along its surface. Such slight, cool
draughts as have been observed near
the floor during our sitting need not
have anything to do with Eusapia.
