VITAL HUMAN SPARK
IS seen BY DOCTOR
Actual Existence of Life, It Is
Declared, Has Been
Located.

Chicago, July 17.--Tke light OF the
vital spark III human beng has been
witnessed. according to statement
made today by DR.. Patrick O'Donnell,
an X-ray expert, who has been follow
ing up experiments made by Dr. w. ].
Kilner. OF London. England. who has
written a scientific monograph on the
subject.
Some time ago, using a chernicalized
film sealed between two thin strips OF
glass, DR.. O'Donnell gave a demonstra-
ton to 20 physicians OF the aura, or
electrical radiation" of living bodies,
four young women being used as sub
jects. The aura developed as a strong
ray OF light surrounding the entire
form of the subject.
Last night" said DR.. O'Donnell, "in
the presence of several physicians at
Mercy hospital, l tried the experiment
on a dying man. He was rapidly sink
ing. Suddenly the attending physician
announced that the man was dead. The
aura began to spread from the body
and presently disappeared. Further OBJ
servation of the corpse revealed no sign
Of the aura.
1--WE do not claim that the light is
the soul, or spirit. In fac, no one
seems to know what Ii is. In my opin-
ion. however. ii Is some sort OF radio
activity made visible by the use Of the
chemical screen. My experiments, how
ever, seem to prove that 1t Is the ami
mating power OF current of life of hu.
man beings"

interchange of freight traffic between
the various roads OF which 1t is COM
posed A big system like the New
York Central lines, for example, Is
made up OF II different railroads, each
Il distinct corporation.
For the purposes of accounting, each
of these lines is treated in the books
as though it were a foreign company,
though the rules for the interchange OF
freight traffic between the various
roads of system are somewhat modi-
fled from those which govern the same
work between two separate systems in
terchanging business at any Of the
four great gateways in the west. Yet
the organization of domestic freight
transfer stations. such as those on the
New York Central lines. does not diff
fer materially from that of the rail-
roads which meet at Chicago, East st.
Louis, East Hannibal or Council Bluffs.
Each system has from 10 to so OF
these freight transfer stations located
at the various junction points Of its
allied lines The New York Central,
for example, has 81. There Is no bet

thorough practical knowledge OF ev-
erything connected with the actual
handling Of freight traffic than a

cred the charge unjust and declined to
pay. The other thereupon threatened
to sue, and, rather than be hailed into
court, the farmer agreed to settle.

FIGHTING CHOLERA

Swinburne island, where Is cases OF
the disease are confined, with four 9th
ers under suspicion.
Inese cases, with six deaths that
nave occurred since the Moltke brought
the germ here from Naples, show the
reality Of the danger the city faces
from the epidemic now raging In SOUTH
ern Europe.
No Panic Exists Vet.
While nothing even approaching a
panic exists here now, the situation is
receiving greater attention and Dr.
Alvah Doty. health officer of the port
has felt called on to issue a reassurine
statement. DR.. DOty says that the
choiera germ can be received in one
way only. through the mouth and that
there ls no danger In ordinary contact
with persons who have the disease.
However. Charles Dushkfns. counsel

In progress. declares his belief that the
cholera patients now I'm tho hospital

ship but at the immigration station
Where sll the passengers were detained
after landing.
Carriers" Are Dangerous.
The danger. or rather the under
standing of 1t, is further increased by
the comparatively recent medical
knowledge of cholera carriers" These
persons, DR.. Doty says, may transmit
the germs although themselves abso
lutely free from their i'll effects, and be
as great menace to others as a man
dying from the disease.
No cases of cholera were found
among the 261 passengers and 81 meIr q.
bers OF the crew Of the Peru-gia. All
persons aboard, however remain under
close observation. The ship Is being
