DOESN'T EXPECT BELIEF

London. Nov. g (Thursday).-Sir oliver
Lodge. who startled the scientific world
by asserting on November p that he had
talked with the dead, has made public
reply to the demand by many critics that
he furnish proof.
Sir II. Bryan Donkin, one OF the great
est living physicians. led these demands
for substantiation, and in this mornings s
London Times Sir Oliver publishes the
following signed statement:
People cannot receive proof so long
as they shut their minds TO evidence
The beginning Of proof is telepathy; that
is. the connection between minds through
unknown and apparently immaterial
channels, but no paper. even on telepathy
has been accepted by any orthodox sci
entihc society. The whole subject is
taboo.
'The average scientific man has made
up his mind that things out Of common
are impossible and he will not listen with
any seriousness to evidence for them.
Consequently the subject has been
studied and evidence partially published
by a specially constituted society for
physical research which was founded in
the face Of ridicule and opposition, by
some men of letters and philosophy i'm
bued with keen scientific temper, act
ing in conjunction with a few men of
science Among these Halfour Stuart,
P. G. TAFT. Sir A. F. Barrett, Alfred
Russell Wallace. Lord RayIeigh and Sir
William Crooks.
Proof in Records.
This work has been carried out In the
most critical and careful manner and
in the proceedings OF that society can
be found a record OF facts which, to
most OF those who studied them, amount
to a cumulative proof OF the reality OF
facts not yet admitted by orthodox
science. OF these facts telepathy is one.
But. as 1t always happens. when truth
is coming to the surface and something is
being discovered which was there all the
time the proofs lie all about one and are
not dependent on the records OF past
facts. 1t may be more or less unpalata-
Bile, but there these proofs are. They
can hardly be apprehended. still less as
simulated without a mind sufficiently open
TO permit the beginning OF an unusual
course Of study.
I do not expect a favorable scientific
atmosphere in my life time. 1 anticipate
a continuance OF strong hostile prejudice
Nevertheless, ! feel entitled TO state the
results OF my experience for what they
are worth and leave the judgment to
posterity."
