How Two Scientists Had the Same Dream at Once
By DR.. Leonard Keene Hirshberg ~
B.. M M d (Johns Hopldnsl

~ ROFESSOR H. C. STEVENS. Of the
great University Of Washington, o
= scientist as well az a philosopher of
the first order gives the scientific world An
account OF strange phenomenon.
In telling about this event Professor Ste
vens says that on the first night of August,
last year, he and Mr.. q. Karrer. another un.
prejudiced observer, were at the Puget
Sound Marine Station, Winnipeg. With a
third man, Mr.. D. H. Wenrich, they had been
sleeping In tent which was erected upon
wooden platform. Their tent was ten by
twelve feet and the platform twelve by fifteen
feet square. The walls, which were boards
about four feet in height and Of the same size
as the tent, were topped by framework
roof, over which the tent was stretched.
The ground upon which this tent-hut was
built was steep. rocky hillside about one
hundred feet from Washington Sound and
somewhere near fifty feet above the water.
Numerous delicate fir trees filled in the
foreground between the front of the tent,
which was always open day and night. and
the Sound itself. The growth OF the trees,
however, could not be said by any manner OF
means to be dense. and patches of blue water
were always visible through the open door
from the interior OF. the tent, even when the
campers were lying upon their cots.
The hillside upon which the tent was
pitched was very steep. The front of the
tent had thus to be supported upon posts
about ten feet In height and five or six inches
In diameter. At the right front end and at
the left rear end the platform was In close
contact with thriving fir trees. One of these.
growing at the right, was something like
eighteen inches in diameter. and the other
on the left was about twelve inches in d.
ameter. The cots OF Professor Stevens and
his two companions were arranged parallel
to the longer stretch of the tent, and their
heads were pointed toward the back OF the
tent, very close to the wooden wall.
DR.. Karrer occupied the left cot and Mr..
Wenrich with the Professor himself occu.
pied the other two with the latter ON the
right. Mr.. Wenrich was between the two
scientists, and was not subjected to the
strange experience Of the other two philoso-
phers and biologists.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-06

They always slept soundly, but on this par.
ticular night Professor Stevens had the
strange experience of suddenly awakening at
l a. m. He sat bolt upright In bed with an
uncanny, creepy feeling that the whole tent
and platform were afioat In the water, float.
Ing gently and gracefully among the trees.
The bright light Of a full moon cast dark
shadows Of the trees all about the tent and
illuminated brilliantly the water Of the
Sound. So persistent was this manifesto
ton Of motion that the Professor could not
rid himself of It. Meanwhile, what was his
surprise and astonishment to find that DR..
Karrer, too, was sitting bolt upright In MS
cot and staring out Of the tent just as he was
doing! Without Professor Stevens saying .
word to DR.. Karrer. the latter began to tell
how he. too, had suddenly been awakened at
q. M. a most unusual happening. Here are
his very words:
Il felt the tent rolling slightly. felt the
tent and bed floating forward. ! sat up In
bed, looked out of the tent door over the
water. The trees Immediately In front OF
the tent seemed approaching quite rapidly,
due to our floating, and felt some anxiety
as to our safety, wondering how to avoid
collision with the trees. called out, Where
are wer heard Professor Stevens exclaim
'Ho!' and noticed him also sitting up in
bed. He Immediately jumped up, ran to the
door and looked out. In tho meantime felt
somewhat relieved. thinking that he might
guard against q collision They both then
arose from tHolr cOtB anu walked out the
front of the tent. and. 10! the strange mani
festation which they had both independently
experienced vanished. They were upon the
solid earth.
The great interest and popularity OF this
Illusion lies In the fact that two aghostic.
sceptieal. scientific laboratory workers. In
dependently Of each other. experienced ex.
actly the same strange phenomenon. They
were both wide awake. and yet neither infiu-
enced the other by speaking until each had
Indicated what they were both experiencing.
Here. then. for the first time in the history
OF science. religion or literature, you have
proof OF an illusion experienced at the same
time. in the same place, by the separate liv-.
ing minds Of two sceptical. unprejudioed
laboratory scientists.

CHAPTER xxxIII.
Tho Voice From the Past.
Illustrated By Laurs. Stout

Though the doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his of.
fee. There, alone with Mrs. Dan.
bridge while Shirley waited In the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs. cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands a little packet of
yellow oiled-silk which bore her name.
He noted that it agitated her pro
foundly and as she thrust II into the
bosom OF her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen 1t. When
he put her again in the carriage. he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood, at length, alone in her
room, she sat down with the packet In
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had been
all afire with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was almost
afraid.
She tried to imagine that letters
coming to her-then. Thirty years
ago! A May day, a day of golden
sunshine and flowers. The arbors had
been covered with roses then, too, like
those whose perfume drifted to her
now. Evil news flies fast and she
had heard of the duel very early that
morning. The letter would have
reached her later. She would have
fed away with it to this very room
to read it alone-as she did now!
With unsteady fingers she un.
wrapped the otled-silk. broke the let
ter's seal. and read

shirley's harp came softly In through
the window. She was playing an old
fashioned song, OF the sort she knew
her mother loved best:
Darling, / am growing old.
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today;
Life Ia fading fast away.
But my darling, you Will DO
Always young and fair 70 me.
Outside the leaves rustled, the birds
called and the crickets sang their IN

She smiled and lifted the locket to her
face. whispering the words of the re-
frain:
Yes, my darling you viii be

The smile was still on her lips when
she fell asleep. and the little locket
still lay In her fingers.
