In order to achieve this he has devised
a number of bulky mechanical structures

to give a definite artistic impression.
His latest structure is supposed to give
all the effects Of a night pyrotechnic

Esmeric, like all enthusiasts. is certain
that the public will welcome the change

offered recently at Sotheby's and Chris

DAM ON LIFFEY WILL GIVE
ELECTRIC POWER TO DUBLIN
Scheme Under Discussion to Harness the Waters OF
Poulafouca Gorge Constructing Lake of Six Square
Miles, Whence Current Can Be Transmitted

Two main projects have been sug-
gested for utilizing the reservoir. one
is to build two main power stations
along the river course. one at the reser-
voir and the second at Leixlip. further
along the river. other subsidiary sta
tions could be built later If needed. The
two would furnish a maximum of about
5000 horsepower, which would supply
the present needs of Dublin.
The other project involves the piping
of water from the reservoir to the town
of Mas. nine miles southwest Of Dub
lin. giving a better fall by cutting
across a bend in the river. While the
installation scheme might be more ex-
pensive engineers estimate that the
maintenance costs might be less. be-
cause II would avoid considerable
wastage of power through transmission.
Exact statistics of the two projects
are now being compiled, and 1t is ex-
pected that this will be one of the first
improvements to be undertaken jointly
by the city and national governments
when the political situation allows.

The Sorbonne's conclusions are too
dogmatic. says Nine. Bisson herself.
In the first place. the medium was
about to be married. and naturally her
mind was not fixed upon psychic mat
ters. Yet when it was suggested that
the experiments be delayed until the
end of her honeymoon the professors
refused.
In addition, complaints have been
made that the Sorbonne refused to
carry out the ordinary proofs that
Eva's phenomenon was not the result
of reorganization. The same sugges-
ton has been made during the last
three years by physicians, who have
poured large quantities of bismuth
down Eva's throat after having near
ly starved the medium for two days.
But they have not succeeded in find
ing any foreign substance or abnor-
NAL structure which could account for
the phenomenon.
But the trio Of experts from the
Sorbonne refused to do this, even
when requested by the medium her
self. The identity of Eva's fiarce is
being kept secret. but Nine. Bisson in

to be performed before a body of un-

Bisson, and the medium, Eva, were
not carried out in spirit of fairness
are to be lodged at the next interna-

Nine. Bisson since the publication
of the Sorbonne report, which virtu-

practical existence from a physiologi-

writing a counter report at her villa
in La Baule-sur-M Mer which, accord

startling results than the materializa-

One of the charges to be made at
the conference is that the professors
themselves admitted they desired no
results which would overthrow the
whole present day scientific dogma

two centuries appear ridiculous. Nat
