Two books purporting to be commune

popularity among persons who find wis
dom and comfort In even the obvious
wh-n it appears as the work of the dis
car1.ate. One Of these is Last Letters
From the Living Dead Man, written down
by Elsa Barker, whose previous volume
from the same source aroused considerable
attention. The other is Gone West, by a
Solder Doctor, edited by II. M. G.. and
M M. H. We learn from this little book
that the first hours of arrival in the Be-
yond may be confusing:
"One night whole company of boys
found themselves together after battle

their old condition, until one Of them dis

w. w. Jacobs's Sto ries

TWELVE tales by W. W. Jacobs,
u all but two Of which are in his
long familiar vein of London 1ongshore
life, have been brought together under the
title Deep Waters. AS the action of all
of the tales takes place ashore the same
means nothing in particular since the
stories are not at all deep and in one of
them the tide is out or there would have
been no story at all. We can recall the
time wen reading Odd Craft and at Sun
mich Port was a very amusing and enjoy
able experience but we can hardly say the
same thing for Deep Waters. Sam Small,
Peter Russell and Ginger Dick are a very
sad trio in the opening story, men who
are trying to be funny in their familiar
way and only succeeding in being very
dub. The two echoes of the war, Bed
ridden and The Winter Offensive, are in
quite a different vein but SO firmly
moulded in the conventions Of British
magazine humOr as to scarcely bring
CLEAN of a smile to ones eyes. These are
what Henry James might have called
"pale adumbrations" of the Jacobs stories
OF ten years ago.

drop, but immediately the medium adds
her hand to the pile it drops.n
As an explanation OF this, DR.. Craw-
ford suggests that "there is something in
the table which is essential to levitation
and which cannot remain in the table
when the medium puts her hand on it, but
must flow along her hand and arm into
her body" This something is not cleo
tricity, says tbs doctor; its rate Of dis
charge is too slow. He thinks it is "most
likely a form of energy connected with
very small particles of matter =,
probably particles connected with the ner
vous system Of the medium"
DIR. Crawford believes that it is through
science that all doubt of the existence of
a psychic realm will be removed. He can't
get rid of the feeling that in the mental
phenomena, such as trance speaking and
automatic writing, 'the mind Of the me-
dunn has far too much to do with the re-
suits" He relies on the "direct voice"
and psychic photography, as well as on
careful observation and measurement such
as he has been making in the Goligher
case.
III.
The most formidable volume on spiritu-
alis,n issued since buttons reprinted Plan
tqsms of the LiuiNg about a year ago is
Pry& james ii. Hyslop's Contact With the
Other World. It is not an American
parallel Of Phantasms, which is compila-
ton Of the important cases investigated
by the British Society for Psychical Re-
search. It is rather many sided favor
able view Of very interesting subject.
The historical review is brief, and the
author, with a good understanding of the
present appetite for books on spiritualism,
goes in strongly for the practical side and
particularly for the experiences of well
known persons. Lord Brougham and An
drew Lang saw the apparitions of friends
who had just died in distant places Carl
Scturz went to seance and was told that
he would be United States Senator from
Missouri, although at the moment he was
a resident Of Wisconsin and had no
thought of moving. Three years later,
however, the prediction was verified
Louisa M. Alcott saw her little sisters soul
depart from her body at death. Prof.
Hyslop relates his own experiences in re-
eel, ing communications purporting to be
from the spirits of William James, Mark
Twain, DR.. Isaac X. Funk and Carroll d.
Wright.
Personally Prof. Hyslop believes that
survival after death is scientifically
proved, but he agrees that this opinion. is
mot upheld IN scientific quarters" But
this, he adds consolingly, ''is neither our
fault nor that Of the facts"
Nv.
Upon taking up Death, the Gate Of
Nfef by Miss H. A. Dallas, discussion
Of alleged communications from F. w. n.
Myers, the student of psychic phenomena,
eagerly turns to chapter headed The
Sealed Envelope. 1t will be remembered
that some months before his death Mr..
Myers, one of the keenest of the British
Investigators Of spiritualism, placed in
a strong box sealed envelope, the con-
tents Of which were known to him alone.
He left the key in the hands of men be-
yond suspicion and declared that if it
were possible for him to do so he would
communicate the contents of the sealed
envelope through a medium after his
death Needless TO say, had the spirit
Of Myers been able to do this the revela-
The sun., 1919-09-21

ton would have broken down. IL not al
together destroyed, the arguments Of those
Investigators who, while admitting phe-
nomena, deny that its source is beyond the
grave. Three years after Myers died the
medium Mrs. VERBAL produced state
ment purporting TO come from him, de-
claIing that the envelope contained "words
from the Symposium about love bridging
the chasm." Alas, it did not, Miss Dallas
frankly admits, and no conclusive explana-
ton Of the error has been found, she says.
Bu' she goes on to explain now through
faulty meiumship there may have been
q confusion between the envelope and q
book which contained the symposium men,
toned. The volume is devoted to this
and other efforts to communicate with the
spirit Of Myers. 1t is likely to please
the faithful and be too cryptic for the
cynic.
v.
In his preface to Spiritwalism: Its His
tory, Phenomena and Doctrine, j. Arthur
Hill, the authoi also of Man Is a Spirit
and other like books, explains that he
prepared the present work as a compre-
hensive answer to the question: What is
spiritualismf As he believed that there
was no review Of the whole except that
contained in the two large volumes Of
Frsnk Podmore's Modern Spiritualism, he
plunged into the work. The result is an
indcxed volume of some 300 pages, con-
taining very creditable historical review
of spiritism, its phenomena and its as
pect as religion. There is an introduce
tior by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who
pays tribute to the perseverance Of Mr..
Hill under most advers. conditions. Mr..
Hill, who suffered heart wrench many
years ago while cycling up hill, has
been upon his back ever since and cannot
even write as most invalids would write,
bu. has to Hold the paper at an angle with
one hand while he writes with the other
vi.
mo greater error prevails than that
lspiritualists call the spirits up" says
Horace Leaf in What Is This Spiritual
isms The departed, he declares, are far
more anxious to communicate 9TH us
than we with them. While Mr.. Lear, who
is the honorable secretary of the Spiritu-
alist Education Council, does not pretend
to give such full history of spiritualism
as is found in Mr.. HilPs book, but devotes
his pages more to dialectics, he cannot
resist giving brief history of the Fox
sisters. Also, he relates the somewhat
familiar but always interesting tale of the
spirit Of Abraham Flor entine, which ap-
peared at a seance in England and told
the circle that he, veteran of the war
of 1872, had died recently in Brooklyn at
the age Of SO years 1 month and II days;
all Of which was presently verified by
correspondents in New York State.
Mr.. Leaf has had experiences of his own.
AT one sitting, control who said his
name was Robert Farel claimed acquain-
tarce with a friend of Mr.. leaf. Upon
being asked his own earthly occupation,
thu spook refused to give it. Later, seek
ing out the ghosts former acquaintance,
Mr. Leaf discovered that while on this
planet Mr.. Robert Farel had been a pro-
fessional thief.
Another experience: Mr.. Leafs father
dir. not accept spiritualism in toto while
he was in the flesh; it was a family saying
