LAYING A GHOST.
A Simple Solution to the Mystery Of a
"Haunted' House.

"Haunted' House.
The mystery of haunted house
was explained in recent number or
Science. 1t was a large, handsome
structure in Boston's Back Bay district.
The trouble centered in the third and
fourth stories, where the slumbers OF
servants and children were disturbed
by strange sensations.
Ii was a common occurrence for them
to awake in the night with feeling of
oppression. "as il some one were tap
ping upon me-" Sounds also were
heard, as If some one were walking
about or overhead. Once a child rush
ed screaming into the nurses room,
CRYING that man was waking him ur
and asking why she let him frighten
him so. In the morning the children
were pale and sluggish. even cold wa
ter lacking its usual power to enliveu
them
Investigation at length revealed
comparatively simple, mechanistic so
luton in the escape OF large amount
Of furnace gas. Often the sulphur II
il was so strong as TO make the eyes
water and to hurt the throat, while
the sensations of oppression were typi
cal Of carbon monoxide. The noises
may have been actual sounds comint
from an adjoining house, although am
noises at all would probably be e1ag
gerated In the minds Of persons awak
ened in the night while suffering from
! poisonous gas.
