killed the poor fellow.

attributed all their troubles TO the
Buddha, threw II overheard, and
after that they reached port safely.
BY rather strange accident the
Buddha was washed ashore in
Wales and the captain claimed 1t
and obtained 1t with much difficulty
and expense. Soon afterward he
died.
His daughter kept the Buddha in
her house for several years. during
which 1t gave rise to continual
trouble. The servants refused TO
stay In the house. They declared
that the image wandered about the
house at night and that its eyes
were constantly upon them.
Then a young daughter OF the
owner, who had been observed gaz.
ing fxedly at the image, died. This
final misfortune made Mrs. Evans
decide to get rid OF the ill-omened
image. She presented 1t to the
Victoria and bert Museum,

OF many mysterious disturbances.

museum. Presumably in this case
the misfortunes must have hap.
pened because holy relic had been
removed from its proper resting
place In church.
Even before the recent alleged
activity OF the haunted objects in
the Victoria and Albert Museum all
England was excited by the strange
behavior OF the mummy case OF the
prlestess Of Amen-Ra.
This priestess, Hetare by name,
belonged TO the royal family OF
Egypt. In early life she was or.

on the accession OF her brother as
Pharaoh Amen.hotep w., she fol.

belonged and left the temple OF
Amen.Ra. Thus she may have In

and the fourth followed him after

T1HE British aristocracy and
wealthy classes have been

There must be some Americans

emerald which she says has brought
her domestic misfortune and per-

the emerald that she never wears

She might get rid of her troubles
in the British way by turning her
emerald over to some respectable
museum. She has not the super

Very strange behavior on the part

TO the Bnddha's direction she never
fails to enjoy good fortune.
Scientific psychologists tell US
that there may be a basis of fact
in the yarns associated with these
idols and images. The inanimate
objects themselves can have no
power over human beings or events.

cartridges used with the chemical
gun was thoroughly analysed. II was
found to comprise a pastebOard
holder with a Illuminating cap at one
end similar 10 that used in the ordi-

next to the cap was small charge
of coarse-grain gunpowder. Then fol-

the cap expiodes the gunpowder and
the force OF the explosion unites the
red pepper and lycopodlum and pro
duces the binding. suffocating vapor

weapon depends.
To test the effect of this cartridge,
Mr.. Schlesinger procured a guinea
pig from his laboratory and dis

OF some three feet. The guinea-plg

unable to open its eyes for the space
Of a minute and seemed to have
some difficulty in breathing as the
fumes penetrated its nose and throat.
The test. however, hardly did jus

enough. the guinea pig was not In
the least alarmed at the sudden
sight OF the gun as human being
would be and kept his mouth shut
