taken or that have been a dupe. Such
statements are stupid. want the
sceptics to tell me how I've been duped
and in what manner the phenomena
were produced in order to deceive me.
If they can really show me that will
be ready to listen to them and exam
inc their proofs. If they are we'll
founded l would be ready to change
my ideas at once. It's quite possible
that we have all been mystified and
that some day proof will be brought
forth to that effect, but until we have
been explained how we were all duped
I pretend that the reality of material
izations must be admitted.
There have been countless frauds,
which we're easy to perpetrate, be-
cause the subject was developed into
religion in which the followers be-
lieved blindly everything that was pre-
sented to them and would have thought
it sacreligious to take special precau-
lions and verify against cheating. In
France some Of the most noted So
called mediums have been exposed and
arrested for fraud. All of this has
had the inevitable effect of making
every serious thinker a skeptic. But
history has shown that it is wrong to
blindly refuse any new discoveries in
the field Of science without carefully
proving for oneself whether the pre-
tentions are right or wrong.
There is great difference among
mediums. Some produce rapid, perfect
materializat; which take the form
Of independent beings. Others give
pieces of anatomy which rarely be-
come completely detached from the
medium, and still others only seem to
have the ability to throw out GASEOUS
mass which hangs to their side. With
moderately strong medium, such as
Eusapia or Eva, there are distinct
stages of naturalization, as rule

The Distracted Wiedfeldt

The announcement that Mr.. Otto
Won Wiedfeldt, tie new German Am
bassador, though he arrived at Wash
ington on May Is, was not received by
the President until May %, caused no
surprise in Germany, where the alb
sent-mindedness and forgetfulness of
German university professors are we'll
known. The reason of the delay was,
of course, that Mr.. Wiedfeldt had for
gotten to bring his credentials! In
deed, for that sort of thing he seems
to be somewhat notorious. Of him it
may be said as Diderot said of La
Fontaine, ellis life was one continu-
Gus distraction"
When he was formerly professor in
German university it is related that
on arriving one afternoon to deliver
his lecture he drew from his pocket q
package and said to the students, 81

forms other mechanical actions. You
can feel 1t, and the fingers seem ar
ticulated. Third, the hand is visible
and can be photographed. Fourth,
winch is rare, whole body appears
which has independent action and
seems like any ordinary living person,
If one hadn't seen it formed before
him and then dissolve into the air. or
be slowly reabsorbed into the BODY Of
the medium.
Ectoplasm Takes Form
In Mysterious Manner
when ectoplasm is invisible it's
easy to realize that it is present. Then
1T gradually takes the form of a grav-
lsh, vaporish substance that is impos-
slble to describe exactly. 1t may re-
semble paste, glue, gauze, muslin, milk
or steam. Sometimes it leaves the me-
dunn visibly in the form of LIQUID
jelly which comes out of the mouth. or
a vapor leaving some other part of the
body and gradually forms into human
limbs or heads. The process is slow
and not always certain. The formation
takes place in the center Of the sub
stance, while the vapors remain around
1t like frame; or if it is a head, thew
form IN something like tule or dcape~-
les about it. Sometimes ectoplasm
forms into an image without depth that
looks like q painting and leads one to
suppose there has been cheating if the
rigorous precautions had not been en-
forced. Again, it reminds one of parch-
ment, OF is like folded paper drawing.
Other times it must leave the medium
!nvisibly, for it suddenly appears for
the first time on the observers lap, on
the floor or in the air.
Zone of the most characteristic
phenomena" Richet explained, (which
is certain to cause the absolute convic-
ton Of any skeptic who does not lose
his nerve in the process, is to take a
materialized hand in yours and grip it
firmly. A little later that hand will
seem to melt and disappear in vapor
while you are holding it. That has
been repeated so often that no doubt
can be cast upon it,"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1922-07-02

Third, the room of the sitting must
not be too large. The smaller it is the
easier it will be to examine carefully
all that is taking place, Before the
medium is allowed in the room all ex-
cept the necessary furniture should be
removed, and even the remaining
chairs should be examined to see that
no paraphcrnaia is hidden anywhere.
The doors must be carefully locked so
that no outsider can get in and no ex-
terror influences brought to bear on
the sitting Everything brought by
the medium should be kept out Of the
room. Fourth, it is absolutely neces-
sary to search the medium thoroughly.
She should be carefully undressed and
put into black, tight-ftting suit, and
from that moment should be kept in
sight, so that she will have no oppor-
tunity to hide anything on her body.
| Up to the moment that she takes her
seat the lights should all be kept on,
and the room can only be darkened
after she is firmly secured in place by
the observers.
Light Called Menace
To True Materialzations
Then, with few red lights in the
room, the medium can have the curtain
pulled before her, since light seems to
be one of the conditions under which
it is almost impossible to produce
materializations. But investigators
are certain that she has nothing hid
den on or near her and that her feet
and hands are under control.
Under these conditions" said
Richet, IF a form covered by a white
veil comes out from behind the cur
tains, as l was positive that the me-
dunn had no white veil a. hand and
was not in a position to manipulate
one if she had it, l would conclude
with absolute certainty that there was
naturalization of white veil.
MANY skeptics laugh when they
hear Of the darkness in which these
sittings take place, but what differ
encc can darkness make? Can dark
ness produce veil or create human
form such as l have seen during SCI
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1922-07-02

There are four main conditions un-
der which these phenomena should be
investigated in order to make a scien-
tific study Of the subject, according to
the famous scientist. First, there must
be few people. Only three are nee
essary. One on each side Of the
medium, holding her hands and feet,
and the third to watch the other two
and see that they do not relax their
vigilance. Four persons can even sit
about the medium, but he believes five
are too many. When there are so
many present observations are poorly
made. They disturb one another and
grow inattentive. It's essential to be
certain of the sincerity of the spec
tators or observers. They must be
scientific observers and ready to de-
tect any flaw in the proceedings.
Petrovo Solovovo was shown up in a
sitting by one Of his best friends,
who was a sincere student and wouldn't
tolerate imposture even from a friend.
The sitters must be competent to OBJ
serve correctly. It's extremely difficult
to watch carefully for hours in semi
darkness and be certain of never re-
Taxing a moment. It's still harder
to hold the mediums hand for that
long and be certain that you haven't
let go ftr en- instant while the me-
dium is twisting and agitatng in
agony.
Second, photographs should be
taken, but Richet does not believe that
prints on smoked paper
impressions in clay, wax or paraffln
have any value as such unless the
conditions of the sitting are scien-
tifically controlled. There are many
so-called spirit pictures that have
been made by clever photographers
superimposing one picture on another
or by taking two successive exposures
II don't even want to see the most
/ remarkable phantom pictures" said
Richet, "unless | have been Convinced
that they were taken under conditions
Of extreme precaution against fraud
That's why l place no faith in Conan
Doyle's fairy pictures"

The last moments of the Russian
delegation in Genoa were not as bril-
liant as the first. The curiosity of the
public had grown tired. Even the en-
thusiasm of the ladies had evaporated.
When Tchitcherin came to attend the
last seance of the conference not a
flower was thrown into his auto AS
Krassin, who accompanied him, called
his attention to this, Tchitcherin
smiled and said sadly:
LA donna mobile"
In the conference itself he was sur
prised because he did not have the
success which came to him at the first
seance. Stripped Of the aurora of mys-
terry, the Sovietic grand seigneur ap-
peared in the eyes of everybody in his
true aspect, that is, of wretched and
pettifogging lawyer. And his chanting
voice irritated the same ears which
short time before had been charmed.
Tchitcherin consoled himself for his
defeat in describing to an Italian dele
gate his meeting, on board of the
Dante Alighieri with King Victor
Emmanuel:
81 was really surprised" he said, "to
find in a monarch such a manifest in
telligence. Crowned heads, in general,
are lacking in brains. My stupefaction
was such that l could not help telling
him: with US, Sire, you would be
President of the Soviets.'
This idea has, no doubt, seemed ex-
traordinary to your King, for he con-
tented himself, for an answer, with a
vague smile. I'd be disconsolate if l
nod attended him without intention

The Cars Cigarette Case

When Rakowski went to an "evening
party" in Genoa or Rapallo, he was
not satisfied with putting on a most
sumptuous dress coat. His diamond
cuff buttons and platinum rings excited
the admiration OF all the Italian aris-
tocracy.
One evening he drew ostentatiously
from his silk embroidered waistcoast
a magnificent golden cigarette case set
with three red rubies of the most
beautiful water. When those about
him admired it Rakowski declared
without the least embarrassment:
This object belonged to Gear Mich
olas. therefore value it above every
thing"
And, signing, he lifted his eyes to
heaven.

Echoes From abroad

for in truth, could not address him a
more graceful compliment"
A week before the end of the con-
ference Tchitchern could not conceal
his disappointment
I'VE have come here" he said, "to
get money lent to US. The moment
they refused to lend US any the con-
ference no longer interested u.s."
One day he said to M. Barthou:
"But, after all, why should you not
lend US money? You lent it to US in
the time of the Tsars."
"Ah!" said Barthou, "it is because
you have forgotten to pay US back"

Just Paper Money

What matters such petty details as
the confirming of peace and the
restoration of property, when it costs
10 lire-nominally S2-to have shirt
laundered? That was the condition
which confronted the delegates at the
Genoa conference. So serious was the
question Of the high cost of living that
some of the delegates could not hold
out to the end of the conference.
The Polish delegates, however, were
resolute They sent their linen to the
laundry and ,betook themselves to the
baccarat tables. When broke they ap-
pealed to their government, which sent
q. courier who carried a capacious
valise filled to bursting with 1000 lire

The good man was received with en-
thusiasm. Everyone, down to the type
writer, was supplied with money. In
the stores, in the hotels, restaurants
and the places of amusement this was
great joy. Two days later, says "Aux

merous complaints by hotel keepers
and merchants.

it's true all right because Mrs.

Hauge overheard Mrs. Livingston
tell Miss McAleer that Mrs. Burr said
that Mrs. O. C. Johnson told it to
Mrs. Herman, and that's getting it
pretty straight. No one feels partic-

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
PREVAILED IN CITY
SCHOOL, CHURCH AND HOME
CELEBRATIONS FILL A
BEAUTIFUL DAY

Another Christmas has passed into
history and it was glorious day in
Wolf Point, both in spirit and eli
mate. This was the mildest Christ
mas day in the memory of the oldest
resident and it was enjoyed to the
utmost by old and young.
All of the city churches had exer-
cises appropriate to the occasion on
either Saturday, Sunday or Monday
and it is thought and hoped that
every child in the city received a
visit from old Saint Nick. If any
were sighted it was not the fault of
the high school or eighth grade stu
dents, for they prepared many boxes
of good things to eat for delivery at
homes where it might have been diff
ficult for Santa to have called other
wise.
Home comings and home gather
ings were numerous throughout the
city and most families either enter
tained friends or were entertaind by
friends. 1t was what Christmas was
intended to be a day of enjoyment
and communion.
The last few days before Christ
mas found Wolf Point busy city,
the Holiday trade being heavier than
usual with an increasing demand for
toys and games that would please
the little ones.
