the audience then were requested to go
into an adjoining room with Mr.. Moore

posted on a table a sealed packet which
was supposed to contain the ring

Mr. Moore explained what happened in
the adjoining room. He said that DR..
Sarak had taken the ring, apparently
placed it in a sheet OF paper torn from
a pad. securely sealed It. and permitted
those in the rpom to feel the supposed
enclosed fling Then said Mr.. Moor. DR..
Sarak had fallen into a sort Of trance. re-
quiring support in returning to the
room
Dr. sarak then had one Of the women
place her hand under and had the other
woman place hers over his hand. 1t was
noticed that his hand was arched when
he placed 1t between the two hands. The
magician spoke strange words and quiv-

magician called time" when some one
tried to tie a napkin over his nose. Blind
folded to the satisfaction of all present,
he played a game of dominos with a
guest and won 1t. He had apparently
little difficulty in making each play. But
1t was noticed that he looked at each
domino very hard before placing it. And

in turn had in some unexplained way been
shifted.
During the serving of refreshments it
was explained that the aura of the re-
porter had emitted antagonistic vibra-
tons, which, striking upon the aura of
the count, had upset his psychic equa-
nimity to such an extent that he lost
his material poise.
