WIRELESS MESSAGES
FROM SPIRIT WORLD
Those on the Other Side Are GETTING
Onto the Thing Now and Send
ing Replies.

NEW YORK, April Communities
ton with the spirit world by means of
a wireless telegraph apparatus is the
latest sensation reported in New
York psychical circles. Within the
last few days complete wireless sta
ton has been installed in the Temple
Of Modern Spiritualism and, according
to its pastor, the Rev. DR.. Richard R.
Schleusner, regular messages have
been transmitted to and received
from those on the ether side
DR.. Schleusner and others connect
ed with the temple explain that the
sending apparatus is operated by a
weakened current to prevent it's mes
sages from being picked up by the
regular wireless stations around the
city. But the spirit operators are so
sensitive to the wireless waves that
they can read the faintest messages
sent out and their responses, while
feeble, are entirely ineligible to the
receiving operator at the terrestrial
end of the wireless.
AT first, it is said, there was no re-
spouse to messages sent out from the
church. This was explained by the
fact that the spirits had not "practic-
ed the code and could not read the
messages as well as they could send
then,-an explanation that would ap.
pear reasonable to anyone who has
practiced ordinary Morse telegraphy
But, owing to their keener faculties,
the spirits quickly became expert in
sending both Morse and Continental
codes.
'We operate our station by placing
one or more of our mediums beside
the telegraph operator" explained
one of the officials of the temple. The
medium attacts the spirits or controls,
as we call them. within the radius of
our wireless current.
when the medium has established
the proximity Of a control, message
is given the operator and he sends it
in the ordinary manner. Almost in
stantly the reply comes and converse
ton between the medium and the con-
trolls continues without interruption
for several minutes. Then the com
becomes confused by the
efforts of other controls to transmit
of their own and the station
has to shut down for a while until
the spirits stop crowding around
DIR. Schleusner said that the sue
cess with the wireless telegraph ap-
paratus had convinced him that, by
Of the wireless telephone, d.
rect communication by speech with
the spirit world is possible.
DR. Schleusner said the temple
must not be confused with the fakirs
that have brought discredit upon
spiritualism. He said his organization
is doing everything 1t can to promote
the semitic Advancement of his faith, 4

ANNUITIEs FOR
IOWA TEACHERS
The Argument for Them, and What
Is Being Done Else
where.

A bill has passed the senate, and is
now In the hands of the house, pro
yiding annuities for school teachers
who have served for a period OF 25
years, on which they may retire free
from the threat of want in old age.
The amount OF the annuity is small.
In the main, says the Des Moines
Register and Leader, 1t is guaranteed
by contributions of the teachers them
selves who are asked to take q mite

levy, after which time 1t is estimat-
ed on the experience of other states
that the fund will be self,supporting
There is natural and readily I'M
derstandable dissemination on the
part of many to enter upon an expert
ment in which England and Germany
have gone so far We still cling to
the notion that the teacher. like
everybody else. should save as she
goes along and provide for her own
old age
But when present-day conditions
are considered and present,day de-
mands. It becomes plain that mere
thrift on the part of the teacher Is
not enough The range of investment
is exceedingly small for those who
are experienced in the ways of bust
ness. and the returns of safe invest
ment each year grow less. while the
cost OF living constantly presses on

ciata," or the New Crusade is the
name in Italy for the w. C, T. u.
movement. 1t is new" for the simple
reason that the necessity for it is
new, 1t having been only within the
past few years that drunkenness has
become common. Even at the pres
ent time, however, the vice is con-
fined largely to the northern prov
inces Of Italy, the southern Italian, in
his longings for the flowing bowl,
being fully content with the dolce
far niente'' feeling that comes with a
litre of wine taken in the warm sun
In Italy, where wine drinking from
infancy is as common as ice water
drinking in America, and where grape
growing and wine making is perhaps
the greatest national industry, it has
been necessary for the followers of
The New Crusade to cool their ar
dor trifle in conformity with these
conditions. Instead therefore Of the
iron clad pledge which Is the only
thing permissible in America, form
Of swearing off" has been adopted
here that would probably make the
average American drunkard want to
do it every day
The propaganda of La Nuova Gro
ciata'' provides for absolute temper
ance on the part of children, for pros
pective mothers, for nurses and nerv-
Gus people. Other able-bodies adults,
however, need only swear not to
drink outside of meals and not to
drink enough with their meals to do
them temporary harm. AS a conse-
quence the movement is being well
coined with more or less Joy by those
who feel that they might have had
difficulty in swearing off on the Amer
lean plan, while the principal opposi-
ton is coming only from the grape
growers and wine makers.

fun at the solemn and ponderous set
of regulations designed to keep for
eign aircraft from swooping around
over England, which were issued
from the home office over McKenna's
signature few weeks ago Freely
sprinkled with ~ prohibit" II order,
Il PRESCRIBE etc, the new air code
proceeds to enumerate the punish
ments to be inflicted upon those who
violate it. They mustn't enter Eng
lish atmosphere except with certain
coastal limits; they must land within
a certain distance from the coast and
pay fee of from SIS to SIS before con
tinuing their journey; they mustn't
come at all without first notifying the
home office and giving full particulars
of cargo, destination, purpose OF voy-
age, etc. Naval or military aircraft
mustn't approach without first obtain
ing formal permission from his maj
.esty's government.
One reason Europe is laughing Is
that England is absolutely without
power to enforce these regulations.
The code says any aircraft refusing
to land when signaled to will be fred
at. Quite naturally Europe is asking
what with? England hasn't any guns
capable of hitting even Zeppelin
moving at an altitude of 5000 or 1000
The regulations appear to be about as
useful as sprinkling salt on birds
tail, SO far as preventing espionage
from the sky by any reasonably dar-
ing aviator with plenty of petrol in
his tanks Even the English papers
see the humor OF the situation I'VE
are in the position OF the small boy
who. bullied by bigger boy, can
only threaten, III tell your mother on
you says one. 1T would be comic,
if 1t wasn't tragic, says another.
which regards the regulations as mere
ly emphasizing England's pitiable
plight in having practically no aerial
fleet In the face Of the already pow
erful and constantly increasing sky
armament of Germany and other con
LluenIal COuUITles
But the feature Of the regulations
which has most amused foreigners
and has called forth no end of ridicule
on the part OF the Tory papers In
England. is the list OF sixty eight
definite points-forts, Notifications,
military camps, harbor works, ARISEN
ais, etc.-all carefully located, over
which 81 prohibit" foreign aircraft
flying. even if they have complied
with the rest of the restrictions. In
other words, Home Secretary Nc
Kenna tells the military intelligence
Lureau of Germany Just where to find
the places which this government isi
most anxious to screen from observa
ton
There is no doubt that the British
government was in more or less of
panic when this air code was prepar
ed. Despite all official denials, II had
lleen pretty we'll established that sew
eral nocturnal visits over English
coast points had been made by Ger
man airships. But, perhaps the gen
tlemen who drew it up had an idea of
how it would be received The fact
is, McKenna had nothing whatever to
do with it--except to sign his name

GARDEN CONTEST
PLANS ANNOUNCED.
viii be Conducted Among the School
Children Of the City Extend.
Ing over Long
Period.
PRIZE MONEY AND TOOLS
Four Dollars In Cash and Tools Are
Expected to be Incentives to
the School Chill
dren.

The plan for the conduct Of the
garden contest among the school chill
dren is being explained this week by
members of the civic league, who are
visiting the various school buildings.
Hundreds of packages Of vegetable
and flower seeds will be given the
children. The seeds were sent to the
league from the department of agri-
culture through the kindness of Con-
gresham Kennedy and Senator Cum
MINIS
Mrs. James Young who is chairman
of the committee in very excellent
paper before the civic league on the
subject of the contest said in part
From coast to coast it is becoming
the custom to establish school gard
ems, gardens planted and cultivated
by school children under the careful
instruction and supervision of COM
petent instructors employed by public
school boards. In some localities the
Y. M. c. A. has done experimental
work along this line in the boys de.
l,artment. In Keokuk the civic league
is to make an effort to instill a love
for gardening into the hearts of the
boys and girls This effort is made
not solely for the material returns
that a garden gives. although many
economists point toward kitchen gard
ems as a solution in part of the high
cost of living, but for the purpose OF
teaching love for beautiful surround
ings and love of nature. In many,
this love lies dormant, to be awaken
ened by some such effort as the
league proposes. In others this love
may be created and developed and thus
additions made to the list of bene-
factors who make two blades Of sras 4
grow where but one grew before"
Rules Of Contest.

who have conducted contests in other
cities the following rules will apply to
this contest:
