New York, January 2S.-Harry "A.
| Franck, the inveterate traveller has
| in the February Century Magazine an
article which brings out sharply one
little-recognized fact about the enor-
nous country which. with a fine say
oring of the remote and wild, we ike
to call the Argentine"
! We have become accustomed to be-
ing told of the fine cosmopolitan city
which is its capital, of the theaters,
the boulevards, the handsome build
! ings and streets. But in his account
fof a journey Far and Wide on the
Argentine Pampas", Mr.. Franck says
| THE traveller who visits Buenos
Aires only will almost certainly carry
away a very mistaken notion of the
Argentine. There is perhaps no ma
tional capital in the world so far IN
advance of, so out of proportion win,
its nation as is the great city on what
the English call the Plate We of the
northern hemisphere are not accus-
toned to cities which are their coun-
tries to the extent that Buenos Aires

publicists expressed astontshment, ana

to bring about a better balance. The

Possibly 1t Is subconscious' dread OF
the horizonless pampas which stretch
lnway into tho unknown beyond the
city; some attribute it to the now
happily decreasing autocracy OF Sraii

government protection in districts out

be nothing moro than the world wide

RECORDS FIRST AUDIENCE With

Calcutta, Jan. 2s,-The first Euro
pean who has had an audience
of the Dalai Lama of Tibet at Lhasa
since Manning in 1911 has just re
turned here after two months resi-
dcnce in the forbidden land. -
He is J. Farley, telegraph en-
gineer in the service Of the govern
ment of India, who reports that tho
Tibetan government is apparently an
xious for the country TO be linked up
by telegraph with India, and there
are also faint sings, he thinks, Of de

dunn, According to the
Spiritualistic Heads.

NEW YORK, July 5.-On one OF
the hottest days of the year, in a
red-and-gdld ballroom. 100 men
and women gather together to dis
cuss the future life, the disembodied
spirits and the possibility of COM
municatiOn with them.
The 25th convention Of the Gen
eral Assembly Of Spiritualists is in
session at the Waldorf. These earn
est people sit attentively while their
leader speaks OF the past OF their
religion, of the social and business
! ostracism once attendant upon it
and OF the freedom from persecution
which prevails today.
Predicts Family Mediums.
Soon. he AYERS, nearly everyone
will believe in communication with
the dead, and in every family some
one will serve as medium for the
group.
This pronouncement causes no
surprise to the members of the COLI
vention, although it is rother startl-
ing news for outsiders. But the
president of the gathering. J. r
Steckenreiter, goes on 10 tell OF the
heavy price believers once paid for
their faith, since any spiritualist was
considered at one time a legitimate
object to persecute. He emphasizes
the difference between the fortune
teller and the medium, a distinction
not always conceded.
Various pastors of Spiritualist
churches tell Of the Roadway made
during the year both financially and
socially. Young peoples societies
are formed, mortgages on churches
paid of clubs chartered and guilds
1t = surprising to learn. when they
arise to speak that various women III
organizes and silks are ministers OF
this particular gospel. Several color
ed women, good speakers, tell Of sue
cess among their people and IN their
church group.

stories of her "child-guide Chatter

liel il all is apt to seem trivial

But at once NAMES like those Of the

General acceptance Of spiritualism
is delayed. the president Of the
