The Kaiser's SIuSh Fund.

The latest disclosure from the long maze of
erman intrigue in the United States is peculiarly
|Hteresting for the light IT sheds on the source
nd character of certain kinds OF opposition TO the
governments war policies. The Bernstorn mes

THE FOURTH DIMENSION
BY H. Addington Bruce
IN HE question has been put to me:
What is meant by the fourth dimen-
u To

~ y
What is meant by the fourth dimen-
- sion? Is there really such thing?
II have heard it mentioned as explaining some
of the phenomena of spiritualism. What phenom-
does it explain, and how?"
The fourth dimension, If actuality, would
explain many of the strange happenings alleged to
occur at spirtualstic 1t would explain,
more particularly, the phenomenon of so-caned
"apports."
In this phenomenon the doors and windows of
a room being securely closed small objects are in
PRODUCED into the ROOM seemingly by Invisible
hands.
The skeptical say that these objects have pre-
viously been smuggled into the room, with intent
to deceive. Spiritualists assert that genuine ap-
ports occur, through the agency of unseen beings
When reminded that, this theory, the un-
seen beings have to possess the singular power or
being able to pass solid object through an
other without damage to either solid the spiritual
list seeks to overcome this objection in various
ways
Among other things he urges that possibly the
unseen beings live on plane of existence supe-
rior to ours, a plane constituted that what to
us seems solid and enclosed is open space to them
This, of course, sounds fantastic and illogical.
But theoretically, it is by means impossible.
To comprehend it we need only imagine to our
selves a world. not of three dimensions like our
own. but of only two dimensions, length and
breath.
In such a world neither upward nor downward
motion could occur. In such world there could
be nothing solid understand soldity.
The inha bitants of such a world would live in
houses without walls ceilings. They would, in
fact live in houses composed only of lines with
swinging lines for doors and windows.
Consequently. II seen from above, their houses.
would be- to us. of a three dmensional world, abso-
lutely open to inspection and entrance. We should
merely have to reach down into them to place or
pick up whatever we pleased.
Now, suppose that we actually came to two
dimensional house, and, looking in at it from
above, saw its occupant asleep.
Suppose, further, that made noise that
awakened him. Having power of upward
movement he could not possibly look up and see
us as we gazed down upon him.
Imagine his terror at the mysterious noise we
made Ina ine his stupefaction IL, to prove to

THE SEARCHLIGHT

At the time of the Spanish-American an
expert rife shot refused enlistment as sharp
shooter on the ground that good craftsmanship
is Of no advantage on the field of battle. There
are still some military authorities who believe this
to be the They point out that when the dis

Elections In Land Of Nippon.

The japanese people are satisfied
with the result of the election of April
20, but agitation regarding expense at
tending a canvass for Il seat in parlia-s
ment is renewed. The same argument
is heard as those after the last gem
eral election, according to East and
West. The Chugai Shogyo estimates
the cost of GOO candidates at not less
than S2,64O,000l This is more than
representatives in the United States
expend, but senators have been known
to pay half Il million for seats in that
body. The Chugai says the govern
ment spent 100000, for supervising
the election, which, TO Americans, will
appear moderate. This sum includes
stamping trips through the country
by cabinet ministers: members of the
opposition paid their own expenses.
The editor regrets that so many Eeil
entitled to ote fail to exercise their
high privilege. Repeated dissolution
of the diet not only causes political
disturbances, he argues, but imposes
heavy financial loss upon the nation
and upon individuals.

CHAPTER xxx.
John Smith paced to and fro
in Crawdlor's committee rooms.
After e~scorting Bishop Fraydon
to the west side of the capitol, he
had gone back into the building,
and, taking an elevator, had
reached the subway that leads
from the capital proper to the
/ building occupied by h offices lei
and committee rooms of most Of
the representatives. Walker, who
had been close to him ever since
he had arrived at the east plaza,
had protested.

For that reason he had effaced
himself from the scene.
The room in which he waited

have the House pass the national

the first floor on the south side. He
