covery: II was In a weakened con.
dition. I was sick three years in bed.
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,

I couldn't walk across the floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard Of, and a number of
doctors. Still ] didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. l
believe II I hadn't heard Of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after q nelghpor told me
what 1t did for her.
II began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well

good that Cardui did me. l don't
think there is a better tonic made

must such an audience be tuned up" One
must tell the other how unbelievable all
such things are, and the other must pro-
test that perhaps they are not so unbeliev-
able after all.
The principal confederate the stage
manager of the affair-will deftly guide
these conversations into serious trend. He
will lead one or another to relate expert
ences, or he will himself deliver disserta-
tion upon the mystery of the psychic and
the constant presence of the unreal at the
very verge Of the real.
The human soul and mind are mystical
There are none of us who do not fear to
confront the unknown. The human abhors
the thing it cannot understand just as
nature abhors its vacuum. 1t Is not long,
with the conversation started along the
proper channels before any group, even IL
it be made up of skeptical scientists, unbe-
levers bent upon research or amusement
only, becomes subconsciousy prepared for
the weird Then the master of ceremonies
gives his signal and quietly proceeds to
dim the lights.
1t was in the old, long ago days of black
magic that the pretense Of dimmed lights
was born. 1t has served spiritualism well
for many centuries. We unconsciously ex-
rect ghosts to appear only in the dark.
The understanding that spirits must be
entertained only in the dark is inherited.
One faint light casting Pickering CLEANS,
must be left. No light at all is forbidding.
While the lights are being dimmed the
medium displays disposition to become
entranced. Whatever the personal method
of the master Of ceremonies, by his direc-
tion she, IL the medium be feminine. be-
gins to show signs of entering into COM
munion with those indefinite phenomena
of the unknown.
In her hand, or in a handy opening In
her dress, she has concealed the gauze
which has been saturated with the phos-
phorescent paint. This gauze. also previ.
The New York herald., 1922-05-07

ously, had been shaped into loose, flowing
gown-with armholes cut for the mediums
arms. The whole bulk has been rolled into
a small ball which easily may be kept in
the mediums hands IL she has no pocket
handy.
In the pocket of the master of cere-
monies there rests the rubber glove, gently
rounded out with cotton or crushed paper,
so that it will suggest its outlines when
suspended. It also has been dipped in the
phosphorescent paint. In another of the
same confederate's pockets is the collapsi-
BILE steel rod.
When the preliminaries have been faith
fully performed and the lights have been
properly dimmed, the medium slowly takes
her place in the cabinet. Her movement
is silent. She Is not missed from the chair,
set somewhat apart from the others, where
she had been when the lights darkened.
All piercing attention now is directed upon
the cabinet.
Weirdly the master of ceremonies calls
for the spirit The verbal methods vary
with each individual-and with each audi
ence. Perhaps it has been promised that
some particular spirit will be summoned.
II so this one is called for by the con-
federate who remains with the spectators.
Within the cabinet the medium deftly
drops the ball of gauze to the floor and
lifts her hand-which has been covered
with a black glove. The gauze glows
weirdly in the darkness. Now the flicker
ing light that has been allowed to burn is
completely extinguished. The only light
in the room is that radated by the glowing
ball of gauze-and upon this all eyes are
focused expectantly. Even those who know
there must be some trickery are curious
and keep their attention focused.
The medium stirs the glowing ball. Her
black covered hands reach down and deftly
stir II. 1t expands. and. seemingly, grows
into larger ball. The medium merely is
loosening the tight roll.
The New York herald., 1922-05-07

ii to one end of his steel rod which still is
contracted To the corner of the handker
chief there is attached black silk thread
which plays out as the rod is quickly ex.
tended until the glove, still hidden by the
black handkerchief, is suspended some
where over the center of the room.
Then the silk thread is pulled suddenly
and the handkerchief drops from the glove,
revealing in the air a weird hand, appar-
emily floating, shining dimly as does the
gauze ball on the floor where the medium
left IL.
While the master of ceremonies is draw
ing in the black handkerchief by pull
ing in his invisible thread the hand floats
about over the heads of the audience, grad
ually settling to the floor. where it appears
to grasp the glowing ball
Tiny black hooks have been fastened
into the fingers of the glove and quickly
these catch in the filmy gauze. The hand
that holds the steel rod and thus directs
the mysterious hand is expert. 1t knows
how to manipulate the stuffed rubber glove
so that its tiny hooks will fasten well
into the ball of gauze and lift it intact.
Slowly, with many wanderings about the
room, the eerie hand settles down again.
this time until it gradually settles either
on the floor close beside where the medium
now sits, or in her lap. Her hands, still
covered with black fold around the two
bits of fire and gradually extinguish them
the glove and gauze are enclosed and the
phosphorescent glow is extinguished.
With dexterous jerk the medium hides
the gauze and the glove within her dress
or under her body-and then gives audible
sign of coming to-"
While she recovers her senses the master
Of ceremonies draws in his rod and
pockets It. The lights are switched on;
the medium enacts the final stages of her
gradual recovery-and the naturalization
is over. Nine times out of ten the seance
has been a success and many of the skeptics
among the witnesses are half convinced
There are countless variations of this
simple operation, of course. If the occasion
Is sufficiently important--or the object
worth while-a much more elaborate and
intricate naturalization of the spirit may
be engineered Thousands of dollars may
be spent in such an instance. 1t is possible
