self emanating from the trunk Of the
medium.
Apparently the plasm materializcd
or thickened few inches from the
mediums feet and then shaped itself
into rodlike structur about tho
thickness Of the human wrist. In all
the experiments the end Of the rod
was the only solid part, the space be-
tween the operating end and the
mediums body being apparently filled
with sporcike matter, cold and dis
agreeable to the touch. In spite Of
their nonsolidity, Or. Crawford dis
covered that these spores or particle 9
Of invisible matter were an integral
part OF the rod, for when he intercepted
the flow of the particles with his bare
hand the rappng or Ievitation, or
whatever phenomenon was being per-
formed at the moment, ceased abruptly.
The whole rod, however, operated az if
it were solid throughout.
Light seemed to have a deteriorating
effect on the pasm, and for that rea-
son photographs were difficult to OBJ
tain. Tho nashlight caused shock to
the medium. but after repeated expert
mcnts the shock decreased and about
twenty-five photographs are included in
the book showing the plasm issuing
from various parts Of the medium 8
body, and in some instances illustrat-
ing the cantilever rod.
Assuming that the experiments were
honestly made, the results obtained by
Or. Crawford arc extraordinary. Simi-
lar results have been obtained by con,
tincntal experimentation, but as yet no
conclusive answer has been given to
the question Of the identity Of the
invisible operat tors" Geley, the
French scientist, calls the psychic stuR
ideoplasm, intimating thereby that the
shape of the pasm is the result Of a
thought command-whether the med-
um's thought or that Of spirit entity
he does not say. Crawford apparently
assumes "invisible operators" to be
spirit entities. Had he lived to complete
his experiments it is likely that he
would have put this theory to rigid
test, solving it one way or the other.
Matcralstic Investigators will find
in this book further proof of their be-
lief that all psychic phenomena have
a physical base. If they pursue the
experments-and Crawfords descrip-
ticns are so clear that, given the med-
UNI, the experiments could easily be
duplicated is possible they will dis
cover new powers now latent in the hu
man body. And dare say spirituaists
will have no objection to such a dis
covcry.

MINNIE cWNNN AND THE WOLVES
~ Bcriram A,koy. Published by Little
Brown Co. $l75.
T HE opening of this story suggests
an old-fashioncd melodrama A
beautiful young girl, orphaned
and scantly provided with money, is
set down IN the midst of great city
where she soon encounters number
Of men who possess the predatory in
stincts Of wolves.
But here the resemblance TO old
fashioned melodrama ends. The mas
culine wolves have no chance at all
against such a shrewd little lamb as
Winnie OWynn. Behind an air of
fresh young innocence that in itself
's worth thousands of dollars in the
pocket she conccals the financial sixth
sense of GetRich- Quick Wallincford.
Every attack of the wolves upon her
whether dictated by mcrccnary or ANA
tory motives, is rcpulscd with heavy
losses IN prestige and in ready cash.
The upshot of The whole business is
that Winnie O'Wynn. at the end OF six
months, finds herself in possession Of
bank account that amounts to 500 600
And She is able to calculate that hcr
earnings. maintained at this rate for
fair term of years. will mount up
into the millions.
Mr.. Atkey describes the skinning of
the wolves in spirit Of jaunty sophis
tlcation. The various episodes of
biackma'l and intrigue in which Win
ME becomes involved arc outlined with
ingenuity and realism; but an under
lying current Of humor runs through
the whole novel. The author has
achieved notable success in transform
Ing the old, and usually very dull
tragedy of the wolves mangling tho
lamb into bright, brisk comedy OF
the lamb skinning the wolves.

Feud in Arizona


TO THE LAST MAN. BY Zane Grey. Pub
llshcd by Hsrper & Bros.. New York. 81
~ UT Of the stirring frontier his
" tory Of the West, Zane Grey has
taken striking chapter for the
basis Of his latest novel. The Tonto
Basin War, in Arizona, has been talked
about for years Special writers have
done articles about it, but it has been
admitted that the whole story never
has been told Mr.. Grey says it took
him long time to get such material
as he has used in his book. In fact
it was not until his third trip into
the country, he says, that the people
would talk concerning the war.
Jean Fsbc, the hero Of "To the Last
Man" is half-breed Ncz Pcrce. who
comes from the Northwest to aid his
father an Arizona cattleman, VINO is
being "fcd out" by sheep men. On his
arrival jean falls in with Ellen Jorth,
daughter Of the leader Of the sheep
clans. There is gun-fghting in plenty,
and the story, the author says, follows
closely that Of the actual war. The
reader Of Mr.. Grey's novel will admit
that the author picked a mans s-sizc
fcud to form the basis Of his plot.
Mr.. Grey gets into the story his
usual descriptive effects, which leave
the reader impressed with the bigness
Of tho Western country. The Jorths
and the lsbels have transported an old
fcud from the plains Of Texas to the
mountains OF Arizona. They fight it
out amid grim surroundings, which the
author paints In lavish strokes The
half-brecd hero, when the revolver
proves ineffective. uses the bowie knife
with deadly effect. The heroine helps
him In the final homicide which elir1-
mates the chief villain.
The book abounds in the sort OF ad-
venture which the author excels in tell
ing. There is no Zane Grey book
which breathes more Of the outdoors

GOL1GHER CIRCLE. BY w J. Craw-

G Co. S.
N n A previous book ". J. Craw-
ford, d. Sc, late lecturer In me-
chanical engineering at the Mu-
ncipal Technical Institute, Bel
last, applied the methods of physical
science to psychic phenomena and made
the discovery that levitation was pro-
duccd by the cantilcvcr action of
psychic rods issuing from the body Of
the medium. In this volume he has
carried his investigations to the point
of determining the exact shape of
these psychic rods; how the plasm gets
through the clothing of the medium
and something of the composition of
the psychic matter Of which the rods
arc formed.
The experiments were made with the
members of the Goligher family IN
Belfast, who assisted at the former ex-
pcriments. Kathleen, the eldest daugh-
ter. was the medium, the other mem
bcrs of the family forming the circle
with her for the seances, which were
conducted under the usual seance con-
d'tions, strong red lights being useu
for illumination. In most of the cx-
pcriments the mediums feet were in
closed in a wooden box and her hands
held. At other times her feet rested
on an electrical contrivance which
would cause bell to ring at any move
ment made or pressure cxertcd by her.
For the greater part the psychic struc-
lures were not visible, though on oc-
casion members of the circle and DR..
Crawford himself saw the tcntaclcs, or
suckcrlikc ends Of the rods, as they
passed over a cardboard treated with
luminous paint. This, however, was
not sufficient proof, and the tests were
