The Deer Park convention was in
the nature of an experiment, and
many of the leading bankers were
satisfied with representation, who will
be present in person at the next con-

guests offer much more attractive
possibilities than were available at

Jastrow ofsth Department of Psy'

sin is planning to follow Sir Oliver
Lodge, British scientist, thru the
United States, delivering Il series of
lectures on spirtualism week after
the lectures of the Sir Oliver on the
same subject. Attacks on the tench-
Professor Jasbrow's addresses. Sir
Oliver is upholding spiritualism. Ia II
recent address Professor Jastrow said
in part.
1--WE are more than glad to welcome
our brother scientists from England,
nut In the interest of public sanity we
object to the spreading of unwise and
unscientific impressions based upon
the prestige of their opponents. Such
impressions are II direct menace TO the
health of mind of the public, and l re
gard them US social menace"
Apparent violations of physical
law have always suggested the agen-
cy of spirits. The phenomena do not
produce the belief, hut are created by
others in answer TO Il demand for proof
of such n belief. Spiritualism has
thus become nothing but the per-
formance of conjuring tricks of the
most ingenious kind"

CONFISCATED HEBREW BOOKS
PURCHASED BY LIBRARY OF

Shortly after the beginning of the

cd seventy-eight cases of Hebrew books
under the preteXt that some of them.
ut least. were of a revolutionary char
acter, containing the sentence: Dovid
Melech Yisroel Chayv'ka yom.
why, have you another king. be-
sides the Sultan?" the Jews were asked.
After the war, the books were pur-
chased by the United States Govern
rDent and placed in the Library OF
Congress in Washington, d. c. They
were brought from Cairo to Alexandria
to the American Consulate and from
there on board American warships TO
this country. Several cases are full
of silver (parts and adornments OF
Setter Torahs and one of the books,
Tour Chosen Mishpot, published In
:475. is the first Hebrew book printed.
II was bound in silver by Sokolki OF
Cairo who did silvcrsmith work for
the German Emperor, Rothschild and
many other PROMINENT personages. and
its value is estimated ut $4,000. Some
OF the cases contain uniforms discov-
cred about seven years ago under the
hill on which Solomon's Temple stood
in Jerusalem: also about 60 coins and
other relics of great interest which
will be displayed in the Smithsonian
Institute. WITH the purchase of these
books, the Library of Congress will
contain greater number of Hebrew
works than the British Museum. and
for this we have to thank DIR. Herman
Putnam. Government Librarian, and
Jacob II. Schiff. who spent great
deal of money for this purpose.
In connection with this, it. will be
interesting to call the attention of
readers turnout the United States to
the fact that any book in the circula-
ton department of the Library of
Congress in Washington. u. c., may
be had by applying for 1t thru the
local libraries. This statement has
