ing" said Ce'aye. That was the hour
at which she died" he added.
Well, sir" said Brodsky, 81 doubt
very much whether it would play for
us all tonight, even if We were to sit
up until that hour. Especially since
you told me that the sounds cease the
moment that you light the gas. 1t is
controlled evidently by some power
that is most delicately attuned. AS
you may know, the soul that returns
to earth is by no means a free being,
able to communicate with the sur
vivor upon all possible topics. Were
this so, we should have learned from
such wandering beings the secrets of
their own state. BY a wise provision.
the soul can return only for some spe-
cial cause: the mother, to watch over
her babe; the wife, to prove her con
tinued existence to her husband: the
the miser, to reveal some hidden
hoard. The soul that returns is re.
sponsive to one single emotion.
Therefore, our presence alone would
serve to neutralize this
Us there no way, them cried Ce.
laye despairingly.
There is one way" said Brodsky
thoughtfully. But it is a dangerous
way, and | would resort to it only
upon your solemn pledge that you will
never again resort to it so long as you
live. 1t is the way so wisely forbid
den by Moses, the great law giver,
the way that Saul utilized at En-dor
the seance. BY the united electri-
cal powers of our bodies, we can,
when seated in a circle, bring about
the effects We seek. But there r
hosts Of evil agencies ready to rush
in and usurp the functions of our
minds. We must hold no commerce
with these, give them no freehold
over us. If, therefore, we sit tonight,
may l have your promise never to do
so again."
Il PROMISE" replied the young mar
solemnly.
Then bring the cello into the CEN
ter Of the room," said Brodsky, and
place it face upward upon the floor
with the bow beside it."
When this had been done we put
out the gas lights and seated our
selves around the instrument in such
a manner that, without touching it,
we could, by extending and joining
hands, completely encircle it. Thus
we waited in silence for five, ten,

ROOM THAT is SOUND PROOF
Within Its Walls Heartbeats and

At the University of UpSala there
is a sOund-prOOf room. BY building it
on platforms of thick lead and cement
and by constructing its walls OF many
thicknesses of felt. cork, asbestos and
tons all sounds from outside have
been eliminated. The room is so quiet
that the beating Of ones heart or the
creaking of ones muscles is at once
heard on taking up a position within
its closed doors and windows. and the
only defect of it as a laboratory for
acoustic experiments is that ventila-
