Believers" Are Conservative

The members Of Miss Steads circle are pro-
fessional business and wealthy folk who will give
you sincere and very convincing testimony TO the
truth of their statements that ghosts are ghosts
and can and do make themselves visible and COM
municative at the proper time and place. What
they have done, they'll inform you, is merely to
give their incoporea friends the proper place
and appointed times when they may so manifest
themselves. They speak Of the coming visit TO
Headquarters Of this or that ghost in the tone Of
voice that one who doesn't believe in spirits might
announce the coming Of cousin by marriage.
They become wroth only when double exposure"
or double negatives" is suggested as explana-
ton Of the weird esprit" photographs, two Of
which are printed on this page
But, as the spirit photograph" at the top Of
this page bears witness, belief in ghosts has al
most as much strength here as in England.
Many Of the most conservative thinkers and per-
sons known as unbelievers have been convinced
that there is something to IT," Among those
are the witnesses TO the taking Of the fore
mentioned spirit photograph" Of the late Prof.
Hyslop produced in the Of inyestiga-
ton conducted by Dr. Walter F. Prince, Chief
Investigator Of the Psychcal Research Society.
When they exhibit this photograph they will
remind you with a pardonable ring Of triumph in
their voices, that Prof, Hyslop is the same psy-
chologist and spirituast who promised he would
return after death and disclose himself to those
who have faith. They will also recall TO your
mind the report that week after his death he
appeared at banquet held in his honor and gave
an automatic message through Of the psychic
guests. Z"
Thet circumstances attendant on the spirit
photograph of the late professor are enough to
give even the most incredulous pause. II was
taken in the home Of Dr. Edward F. Bowers OF
No. 225 West End avenue, New York City. Those

w. T. Stead, Whose London House Is to
BE Dedicated as the Habitation of
Disembodied Spirits.

\ CCORDING to the dictionary, a haunted
- house is a place subjected to yisitations
from the world Of spirits. In the popular
imagination il is a ramshackle wooden structure,
shrinking behind dusty hedge,rows, with broken
windows invaded by the branches of trees through
the tops of which the wind soughs in melancholy
manner, a dilapidated brick structure, stern
and forbiddng, with cold marble floors and metal
banisters clammy and terrible TO the visitors
touch,
But over in t.ndon which seems to be just
now the mecca O.. hose who have been caught in
the warinspired .hterest in spirits and psychic
manifestations, they have a different conception
of dwelling inhabited by the souls of those who
have separated from the heshy envelope called
the body. They have neither terror nor curiosity
for such habtation In fact, they have given
ghosts a headquarters. The 200-year.old resi-
derce in old Smith Square Of Miss Estele Stead,
daughter of W. T. Stead, has been turned over to
.-,,sts and this winter it is 10 be dedicated with
formal ceremonies.
Thus the invisible, save to the psychic, den
izens Of the world beyond the veil have been
given a headquarters where they may meet and
hold converse with those in the flesh. The spirit
of the departed owner of the mansion will preside
when the spirits hold meeting That ne has
never left the dwelling is the statement Of his
beautiful daughter. And to proveNthis assertion

tube. The slider Is to be mounted on top of the coil and should be cap able of making contact with any turn Of the wire on the tube. In order to remove the insulation from the wire just under the rod where the slider moves back and forth, wrap piece of sandpaper around a thin piece of wood apd using another piece of wood as a guide, sandpaper the insulation from the winding. Drill a hole one eighth inch in diameter through the slider rod about one-fourth inch in from each end so that the rod can be fastened by screws to the end blocks. After the slider rod is fastened in place see that the contact finger on the bottom of the slider can at all times make good contact with the winding. Mount a binding post on either end of the coil, attaching one by means of a wire to the slider rod and the other to the end of the wire wound on the tube and the tuner IS complete. A tuner can be purchased already assembled for about S3.5O to S4.0O.

EIonterey's Ostrich Tree.

Montgomery, Cal, Is as proud of It's C.trich tree as residents of the lower Hudson valley are of Anthony's nose. This celebrated curiosity is formed of two coast expresses, so that their foliage seems to be that of one tree ; and the shape of 1t, together with the peculiar angle at which the two trunks are placed. gives the silhouette of a huge and earnest ostrich stalking along shore. The brave old trees that make the picture are alone on barren tongue of beach running out into the hreakwaters of the Pacific.

MAKING THE TUNER

To make a tuner for this receiver, the following raw material will be re- quired:
 Piece of cardboard tubing three inches outside diameter and five inches long, costing about 10 cents.
 100 feet No. p double cotton-cov- cred magnet wire costing 25 cents.
 Standard slider (see sketch) for A by 4 brass rod, 40 cents.
 six-inch length of A by A brass rod (square) 20 cents.
 2 binding posts (see sketch) 20 cents. ..> .,-. --f's''--. ~----a -"-'
 2 circular blocks of wood whose diameter is just equal to the inside diameter of the piece of cardboard tubing and between 3-8 and 1-2 inch thick.
 Some shellac or varnish is also re- quired.
 Starting one-half inch from one end of the cardboard tube wind on the No. 9 D. c. O. wire within One-half inch of the other end of the tube. 5Fasten one end of the winding to the tube but allow some surplus wire on the other end for making a connec- Ition. After the winding is in place give it a coat of shellac or varnish to hold the turns In place. Assemble the circular-cut pieces of wood in the geometrical center Of the square blocks and then shellac or varnish them for the appearances sake.
 When thoroughly dry slip the two end blocks into the wound tube and by means of a few finishing brads driven through the cardboard tube, f fasten the end blocks to the wound
