WAX MOULDS

actly the same form as our own
has been furnished by DR.. Geley.
a famous and competent investi-
gator. in an article published In
tho Revue Metaphyique.
This announcement has caused
great excitement in tho bonofids
spiritualist circles Of France and
England.
The Revue publishes q series Of
photographs Of the hands and feet
Of spirits "materialized" in moulds
of paraffin wax. The experiments
were conducted under conditions
which made fraud and trickery
impossible.
The casts Of the hands and feet
bear no resemblance to those Of
the medium who aided DR.. Geley.
They show clearly the lines Of the
palm and folds Of the skin. Al
though the same medium was
used in every case, the casts show
an amazing difference In the size
and form Of the hands and feet
and in the lines on the fingers and
palms.
DR.. Geley created sensation
q short time ago by the publica-
ton Of an article on the results
Of experiments. during which he
obtained facial photographs Of spir.
its. In those seances also every
precaution was taken to make fax
ing impossible.
1t Is hoped that in the near fu-
ture some spirit will be kind
enough TO permit his whole body
to be photographed. Then It will
be clear that spirits are not the
ethereal. ghostly vapors which pop
lar belief has held for centuries.

The preponderance Of the Anglo

England is still suffering from
the effects Of the world war. and
Is too deeply engaged elsewhere to
launch on q dangerous adventure
in China. Japan seems almost to

We know that this proposal OF
Intervention was made to US by
Lloyd George to withdraw US from
the Rhine. but. after the desired re-
suit was obtained. he refused in
the end to have his proposal rati-
fled by his Parliament.
The speaker will alle9e against
this plan that England holds to It

against the Turks and revived the
war In the East, q war all the more
stupid since II may lead to q re-
ligious conflict.
It Is not, however, to discuss the
conditions Of uncertain European
alliances or an impossible disarma-
ment that the representatives Of the
great powers have been called to
Washington. but rather to study q
problem the importance Of which
for the United States Is capital.
since their future depends upon It.
The problem Of the Pacific, In
spite Of all the roundabout words
with which the speakers will treat
II, consists in finding the means to
prevent the Japanese from sending
their immigrants to tho United
States. Never minglihg with other
races, multiplying with extreme ra-
pidity, and lsboring to much better,
advantage than the whites, they
would mean to the latter . 1isas-

The chancellor himself Is one Of
