the mediums weight, unknown to her, at ali times during the seance, the fluctuations in weight. if any, to be recorded on revolving drum. It would also include means for studying the pulse temperature, muscular exertion breathing of the medium, and the lighting of the test room would be carefully attended to and capable of almost infinite gradation. There would also be such instru- ments and devices X-ray and radium tubes, high frequency currents and delicate field ef electrical force, together with in struments for testing the ionization of the air in the immediate vicinity of the medium
 Dr. Darlington believes that photography would also play an important part in the equipment of such a 1ahora tory. Means could readily be provided for taking moving pictures of the medium and her audience at all times during the seance, and if the sit tings were held in darkness these photo graphs could be obtained by means of ultra violet rays with which the room could be flooded and quartz lens would be used in stead of glass There would also be appa- ratus for making thought photographs simi- lar to the one of a cross with which this article is illustrated, which made in California by holding a sensitized plate be- fore a subject and having him concentrate his mind cross.
 Thought Photographs but One
 Uncanny Demonstration Promised
 In making thought photographs, audI thereby Virtually proving that thought waves projected from the mind many excellent results have already been ob tained in Japan, Poland and France by means of photographic plates wrapped in opaque paper and laid upon the subjects forehead. Distinct ikenesses of objects upon which the subject has concentrated have been obtained, and scientists expect many important results from a continuation of such experiments.
 Another interesting and important experi- ment which such a laboratory would be tod fo aI.o I,e, pf,j1s and prehensive examination of the body sup stances which exude from some of the more highly sensitized mediums during seance. This matter has already been examined un- der microscope by a French scientist, who reported that it consisted of a conglomera ton of living cells of a type not found in the human body, but resembling somewhat tumor growth with which physicians are familiar. In instances these cells have issued from the head, mouth and breasts of mediums. but no photograph of them at the actual moment of exudation has been ob- tained. Such a photograph could be ob- tained, however, in a laboratory where the means were constantly available.
 Among the other phenomena which win be thoroughly examined and investigated if Dr. Carrin gton succeeds in esta blishinS his laboratory are these: Experiments in thought transference; experiments in clair voyance, normal and induced; the so-called
 polarity of the human body; automatic writing, crystal gazing, shell hearing; the protection of the double; f-projection: exploration of the subeonscious mind; ex- periments in magnetizng animals and in
 animate objects; experimentalIy induced dreams; experiments in magnetic healing
 experiments with the so-called human fluid; study of the power of the will over inanirnate matter; experiments in 1ev1tation: ::
 experimental study of the Yogi exercises
 breathing, awakening of the so-called Chalk rams, Sc. spirit photography; materializa- ton; study of the cold breeze felt at seances
 study of the action of drugs conscious
 ness and the influence of powders perfumes incense, Sc, the senses; experiments in duplicating spiritistic phenomena by physi- cal and electrical means; study of abusing or water finding; experiments with mag nets: experiments in trance, ecstasy, sc. study of the psychology of deception; study Of suggestion, normal and abnormal; eX- periments in the induction of illusions and hallucinations; study of secondary person ality cases; psychoanalysis; experiments ir telepathic hypnotism; visions of the dying: ? weighing and photographing the soul at the l moment Of death and hundreds of others = besides.
 It is very likely that one of the first tasks of an American psychical laboratory would be to continue the experiments of Dr. 1moda
 who concluded that there a fundamenta l similarity between the radiations of mediums body and those of radium and the cathode radiations of a Crookes tube. IT ] addition to the experiments of Dr. Innods
