Dublin, July 15.-Four millions
gone in sixty years!
That's the tale of the folk who
have looked their last on the old
sod and set their faces toward
America. Almost as many as can
be found in the whole of Erin to-
day.
Four million people-and all
mourned by them that stayed be-
hind. There was 'keening" when
they went away like the keening
for the dead, for few indeed ever
return.
American wakes" they call
them-these sad last partings,
made doubly pathetic by the de-
spair that so often colorS the grief
of the stay-at-homes.
ITS the young and hopeful
that CO." an old cotter will tell
you, and it's the old and hopeless
that must stay. Sure it's hard to
see them go, and they goin' acrost
the waters to a new land, and
where it's forgetting us they'll be
and not remembering at all, at

"The young and hopeful" go
and on the green shore they leave
behind them the old and hopeless
to keep the long American wake.

CAN WAKES TO SADDEN IRELAND.

A boat train was starting.
Leaning from the window of a
third-class coach, a girl with
streaming eyes waved a farewell
to youth on the platform. AS
the train began to move the boy
broke from the restraining hands
of his friends, rushed forward and
threw his arms about the neck of
the weeping girl. He would have
been killed if the guard had not
pulled him away as the train
gained Roadway.
But now at last there is reason
to hope that their will be fewer of
these heart-rending partings. >
For things are looking up in
Erin. The industrial revival, the
parcelling out of the big estates
among the tenants on longtime
payments, and now the practical
assurance of real Home Rule
these things are working together
to check the flow of good Irish
blood to America.
Keep the young people at
home" is the new slogan of the
Ireland for the Irish crusaders.
They are even appealing to the
American Government to help.
The Sim Finn Society has asked
President Taft to invoke the alien
contract labor law against the
American-Irish who send money
home to pay the passage of rela-
tives and friends.
American authorities, however,
are doubtful about the application
of the law. It's hard matter to
prove that the sender of money

a costume similar TO that worn by the famous

The Strange "Power" OF
Mdlle. Tomczyk to Lift
Bells, Bottles and Other
Objects UHhout ,

Scientific Theory :

remarkably successful. The bell
Immediately rose to considerable
height in front of the medium.
This was photographed.
The observers" says the report,
were able TO guarantee again that
the hands Of the medium had been
examined before the experiment.
After the examination the medium
did not touch any one or conceal
her hands, and she did not touch
the bell either before or during the
experiment. The movements OF the
bell and her hands were not always
synchronous.
NO one observed, either during
the examination OF the hands before
or after the experiments, or at the
moment of the trial, or in the pho
tographs taken, any material con-
nection between the hands of the
medium and the object leyitated."
Then a very interesting expert
ment was performed with scales.
A little celluloid ball was placed
on a pair of scales, making a weight
Just sufficient to put the scales
down on that side. The medium
held her hands under the scales.
Some minutes later" says the
report, ''the tray with the ball
arose violently and then was ar.
rested, while the ball leaped of the
tray, as if hurled by shock oil
some kind"
A very peculiar chemical expert
ment was then carried out. A drop
OF ferrocyanide of potassium and
drop OF chloride Of iron solution
were placed on a white cardboard,
a few inches apart. The medium
moved her hands above them at
height of several inches and blue
lines we're found connecting the
two drops.
In order to prove that no thread
could be employed to produce these
results a Photographic apparatus
was used which would have shown
the finest kind of silk thread.

cautions in other ways that science
could suggest were employed to ex-
clude fraud.
In a later seance a celluloid ball
was laid upon a dynamometer on
the table.
After a brief period OF waiting"
the report continues, we remarked
some insignificant movements of the
ball, which Immediately afterward
rolled as much as one-half the
length of the dynamometer.
During these movements the me-
dunn several times raised her
hands above the table as much as
eight inches. At her request DR..
Ochorovics put his hands behind
the mediums head, after which the
ball rolled again to the centre of
the dynamometer, but instead Of
continuing its course 1t jumped
on to the table and turned toward
the medium.
she then moved her hand toward
the ball without touching it and
ordered 1t to mount the dynamome-
ter, which It Immediately did, after
some ascending actions were exc
cuted by the hands of the medium"

THE case of Mile. Tomczyk, a
young medium OF Polish
= origin, is exciting intense In
terest in paris and in psychical re-
search circles all over the world.
The account Of her latest doings Is
reported by the Journal OF the
American Society for Psychical Re
search, edited by Professor James
II. Hyslop. ....
Mile. Tomczyk exhibits a power to
raise objects without touching them
to a degree never before observed.
With each hand held more than
foot away from a small bell she was
able to raise 1t several feet In the
air and lift 1t up and down.
The extraordinary power she dis
PLAYED and her manner OF doing
these things have given rise to
theory among the scientists who
observed her that her body gives
forth what they call rigid rays,
which have the power OF moving
solid objects. Other observations
have led to the belief that many
human bodies emit these rigid rays.
Mile, Tomczyk has been brought
to Paris by DR.. ochorovics, a physi-
clan of standing in his and her own
country. The experiments described
here were performed in the pres
ence Of Professor Richet, OF the Sor-
bonnie, the leading psychical re-
search Investigator Of Paris; Nine.
Curie, the great radium expert, and
other scientists, who were satisfied
of the absence of fraud. Nine.
Curie was especially interested in
the theory Of the rigid rays.
Associated with the phenomena
was a psychological personality
known as Little Stasia." Mile.
Tomczyk's name is Stasia and she
is sometimes spoken OF as Big
Stasia." During the experiments
Mile. Tomczyk was in a hypnotic
condition and she stated that Little
Stasia" was lowering about.
Little Stasia," according to spir-
itistic experts, appears to be a pro-
lection from the personality OF two
living persons. She has exhibited
a power to move concrete objects.
The explanation of the phenomena
here described may be traced to
this personality or to the rigid rays
or to both.
In the first experiment Mile.
Tomczyk, after being put into a
hypnotic condition. placed her hands
on each side of the bell at a dis
lance of about fourteen inches.
After several efforts 1t rose
about two inches and moved away
from the medium. The observers
verified the fact that during these
movements the hands Of the me-
dunn did not bulge. At the re-
quest Of the watchers the bell
moved and occupied the position it
had at first, without, however, leav-
ing the support of the table.
About fifteen minutes later"
saws the report, the medium de-
clared that she felt a larger amount
of force and asked again for the
bell, assuring us that she would
succeed better this time and re-
questing a photograph Of herself
with the bell"
The exhibition that followed was

periments. a -
IL. appeared clear to me at first
that Il was a simple etheric and
