Egg Transportation Beyond the
Power Of an Embargo.
Whoever is interested IN Brooklyn
and eggs and spirits (and who Is
not7) will delight with us in an ac-
count Of what Is described rs a re-
markable phenomenon. 1t comes to
THE Sun from the Melbourne, Aus
tralia, Harbin0er Of Light, a Journal
Of psychology, occultism and spirit
ual philosophy. The H%arbinOcr got
1t from the International Psvchic
Gazette, an English publication in
whose pages the account appeared as
from the pen Of q Mr.. HORACE LEAF.
Mr.. LEAF In turn credits 1t to the
records Of one who was known As
General LonarsoN," q gentleman
"holding a high rank in the British
army" This General LonBrsoN," It
appearA was one of a group Of three
persons called the Trinity Circle, the
two others being "a wonderful up
port-medium Of the south of England
and her husband" The name Trinity
Circle was given to the group by the
spirits who worked with them.
To this group came within one year
lover a thousand apports." tangible
evidences Of the power and generosity
Of tho spirit world: vases from the
East, q dagger made Of Chinese coins.
woven grass and a carved box 90
inches square. But even the circum.
stance Of the dagger's arrival. the
loose coins being tiled together by un.
seen hands In the presence Of the
s%itters." does not bring the thrill that
comes with the story Of the adventure
Of the Brooklyn eggs.
Tho Trinity Circle was only one Of
a number Of groups. scattered about
the world-Melbourne, Spain. India.
Syria, China. Brooklyn. They sat al.
ways at the same hour. controlled by
the same spirit band. 1.-THE Brooklyn
medium" says Mr.. LEAF, twas a gen.
tleman Of remarkable power, very
cultured and rich. 1t was he who
used to select the eggs for transmits.

Brooklyn medium and come from his
own hen house"
One morning there was dismay In
the Generals nenage. Three stale
eggs were found. That very night the
Trinity Circle demanded an explana-
ton from the spirit control. The con-
troll laughed. He said 1t came from
trying to do more than one knew
how" The rich Brooklynite was In
the habit OF collecting the eggs In per-
son On the night in question, being
indisposed. he left that important task
TO the control and that parsonage, as
the General calls him, took the first
eggs to hand. including three nest
eggs! So n point Is established /:
that a spirit control, when 1t comes
to collecting eggs, has no supernatural
powers Of Gambling; he would take
rots and spots for nearby hennery

In what year the Eggs made their
wonderful trip from Brooklyn to the
south OF England we do not know.
The narrative adds that the Brooklyn
medium sent, too. apples from his
garden so perhaps it was a long time
ago. In F~latbush, maybe, some garage
sits where nee was the henhouse and

still lives and has eggs no probably
