MEASURES THE NERVE FORCE
Machine That Scientist Claims Has
Great Possibilities-Experi-
ments Made.

There is a remarkable little instru-
ment, consisting of a steel cylinder at
tached to a vertical needle, for meas
uring human magnetism, that is at
tracing a good deal of attention in
the occult library in Piccadilly. 1t is
the invention of Doctor Fayol, who
has been conducting a series of ex-
periments before a committee of the
French Academy of Medicine.
Explaining it's purpose, NJ. w. do
Kerlor said: Its object is to demon
strate the existence of the emanation
of nerve force from the human body.
IF you place the left hand in front
of the cylinder, the needle will move
in the same direction as the hands Of
a watch; if the right hand, the motion
will be in the opposite direction. With
all healthy and normal individuals the
rotation of the needle is normal; If
persons r i'll, or even below par, the
motion of the needle will be irregular
and abnormal.
"AH healthy bodies project regular
currents of nerve force; unhealthy
bodies absorb. That is why you hear
of sick or elderly people who have not
sufficient vital force to maintain the
normal amount of physical strength
absorbing human magnetism from
younger and healthier persons.
Various experiments have been
made with the instrument to show
how variously it is affected.
Two hands of an opposite nature
placed in front Of the apparatus en-
tirely stop the motion, but with two
hands of the same nature it is &C
celebrated.
AS to the possibilities of tho inven-
ton, M. de Kerlor said: "If you have
an instrument which is capable of be-
ing propelled at the rate of 80 or 40
turns a minute quite automatically by
an invisible force emanating from the
human body, what may not be
achieved by applying the magnetism
of a hundred or of a thousand men to
a much larger cylinder with a power
full lever?

were gathered at the opposite end,
some at work upon the machinery that
liberated the compressed air, one trac-
ing the chart, others engaged upon
some duties connected with the me-
chanism of the boat. Our voices,
when we spoke, roared and re-echoed
within the close confines of our quar-
ters. l watched Nikolai, my heart
beating wildly. Presently, quite cas-
ually he ran his fingers through his
hair-the appointed signal. l stepped
to the wall and took down the pistols;
examined them casually; they we're
loaded. The lieutenant looked up in
mild surprise.
And then it all happened. l stepped
forward somewhat foolishly, and
pointing the weapons at Van Beeman's
face; even yet he understood nothing.
He began to retreat from me, try
ing to speak, stunned by my demean-
or. l pressed him back to the other
end Of the ship. The sailors had

ed m%otionless. Then from the vessels
side a tiny blur leaped into the waves.
1t was a man Of war And the blur
at the side was a scout motor boat.
We were discovered-I realized that
in an instant. Heavens be praised,
the English battleship had not been
searching the seas for us in vain!
If only Nikolai had waited a few
brief minutes longer, until they
were alongside! Now we must stand
off our enemies until the rescue anne
All these thoughts flashed through my
brain instantaneously. My glance had
hardly faltered, but that moment of
~indecision was enough. With a con-
certed movement the sailors had hurl-
ed themselves on us. The rush was
so swift, so simultaneous, that the
bark Of my pistol was muffled in the
cloth of the l~ieuteuant's uniform, and
the bullet turned aside. Then, wrap
ping me in his embrace, he slipped to
the floor, and we tumbled and sprawl
ed over the slippery keel-plates. The
rest bore Nikolai to the ground with
me, and again the stars whirled
upon the silver plate as the subma-
rine, u%nguided, plunged here and there

Queen Mary,s Simplicity.


Mary, queen of England, has giyea
many proofs that she is a practical
person and greatly disposed to a.
away with as many of the frtlls asso-
ciated with her position as possible.
Reports reached her recently that
some of the ladies who act as her dep
uties at different social functions, as
she is unable to meet all these de-
mands in person. have been giving
themselves more than royal airs, thus
causing much annoyance to the hos
tesses who have to receive them. Tho
queen has therefore altered some OF
the rules regarding the manner in
which a lady representing her at any
private social junction is to be re-
ceived making the reception of Queen
Mary's deputy a less ceremonious af-
fair than hitherto. 1t is said that
now one may be able even to sit in
the presence Of one of these royal
substitutes. without being given the
frozen stare and the Icy mitt.

Of the sailors, who had missed his
stroke with the oar, utter q hearty
curse In purest English.
But we were at the ships side and
ascending the ladder before l could
draw the necessary inferences from
what l had seen. The captain walk
ed forward toward his quarters, sign
ing to us to follow him. Presently
we were alone with him in his cab
in. Then he turned on Nikolai alb
ruptly.
We'll done, sir" he said heartily.
II shall report your courageous ac-
ton to the admiralty. Not only have
you performed an act unparalleled in
the history Of the feet, but you afford
ed me an opportunity to discover the
complete secret Of the mechanism OF
the new submarine"
with your permission, sir, l will
explain matters to my friend" said
Nikolai, turning to me. But already
the whole affair had become clear to
me. 1t was an English b~attleship, and,
by the ruse of the German flag, its
captain had discovered the secret
which England had wanted so badly.
| We were In friendly hands.
did you fulfill this mission by the
direct suggestion of the admiralty? ?"
the captain asked.
mo, sir" said Nikolai. 1T was our
own enterprise, and we trusted to the
generosity Of the English nation to
reward us adequately
The captain started.
"What?" he cried. "Does nobody In
England know that you embarked
upon this perilous a%dventure?"
Nobody but yourself and your men,
sir" Nikolai answered.
The captains manner changed in
a way comical to see.
well, my men," he said, you have
had a fortunate escape. Now l tell
you what l shall do. In five minutes a
dinghy will be lowered from the side.
You will enter 1t, and can, doubtless,
pull yourselves ashore. We are not
three miles from the Hampshire
coast"
And you will report us for the re-
ward?" l asked.
Reward? What reward?"
Then l understood. He meant to
take the entire credit for the achieve.
ment to himself. And, if we told our
story in England, nobody would give
us a hearing. l stood astonished
shaking with impotent rage and cha
grin.
Then the captain laid his hand kind
ly upon my shoulder.
Gentlemen" he said, addressing
both of US, be very thankful that
you have escaped with your lives. You
played a desperate game which you
were i'll prepared for. You came of
no worse than you started. Half az
hour ago and you would have given al
you possess for life. You have you
lives. Take my advice: go quickly
and at once"
Ten minutes later we were pulling
for the English shore.

Lieutent Won Beeman sprang 10 his
side and began to pour out the story
of our attempt The captains brows
contracted as he listened; ~incredulous
at first, he grew more and more i'm
passive and cold. At last he turned
to Nikolal.
What have you to say?' he asked.
"It is true" said my companion.
What are you going to do?"
The captain spoke more coldly,
more formally than before. Nicolai
turned to me.
HE says that he intends to hang
US at his yard-arm before breakfast"
he explained.
l looked around me desperately.
Dawn was already flushing the east,
the stars were paling, and, on the port
bow, outlined against the saffron
sky, was the long loast line Of Eng
land.
He cannot hang spies-even II we
are %spies-in peace time," l muttered.
1T is against the code"
Nikolai translated, but the captain
did not deign to notice me. 1t was
the lieutenant who interposed.
"As for that fellow" he said, point
ing to me, 'let him hang IL you pre-
fer, captain. But not this other, who
is evidently a high officer in the Eng
lish service. Curse him." he shrek
ed, losing his ~self-control again. He
insulted me in the streets of Kiel. He
called me a sleeps head-and l was
in uniform"
"Calf's head, not Sleeps head"
Nikolai interposed.

Won Beeman.
81 am afraid, lieutenant" said the
captain, that the honor Of Germany
must take precedence of yours"
IF it will be any satisfaction" said
