MEDIUM JUST SICK,
 WASN'T ECTOPLASM
Scientists Finally Found Out Her Stomach Was Out of Order, That's All.

MEDIUM
 Paris. Sept. At took four sor- bonne scientists more than three m months, meeting once a week, to de- | termine that Little Eva" had vomit- ing fits.
 If Little Eva' had been just any have arrived at a vulgar conclusion in one visit But Little Eva" was psychic. Little Eva was a medium.
 Little Eva and the group, she had seizures and told the world that she emitted from her mouth an of individuals long since dead. Believers in the occult brought Little Eva to the attention of the psychology department of the Sor- and Henri Peiron, of that depart ment; Professor Louis Laport, phy- siologist, and Dr. Laugier. chief of the physiological laboratory, determ-
 Little Eva held for. their bene- | fit fifteen seances. At times she would not be. seized" not, matter l how hard she tried. Upon other oc- | Iently in a sort of trance, which. ac- cording to the scientists observations, was followed by. long and noisy periods of expiration or stertorous | b1 eathing, during which her head was | thrown back and the body extended. v. Her pulse beat 100 times a minute. | At one time it was believed that these phenomena were a sub-con- scious attempt on the part of Little l Eva'' to initiate the convulsions at tendant on child-bearing, but this | hyp oth eSis was dismissed. | Finally after many vain attempts l the ''ectop1asrn' appearedi
 In the light of a pocket lamp ''it'' was seen to be a filny substance, which hung from the lips of the medium, finally re-entering her | mouth.
 But of all those present at the seanae only one, a confirmed spiri- aEs,t, saw any likeness in the "ecto- plaSm'' to a human shape. The experiments were continued until the mysterious substance ap- l speaned a second time.
 This time the professors declared
 that it was apparently composed al
 most entirely of saliva and that it
 was produced by attempts to vomit.
 AS for the existence of an ectoz | plasm which needs to be eSlplaln led | by other means than those of phy- l sioIogy, our experiments have given
 results which can be considered en- tirely negatiVe.'

After moaning the earth fer nearly three decades, the fugitive says he is beaten in his game with the law and lnt1mates the call of home has driven from his mind fear of the hangman's moose.

 The sight of a four-m onths-old At lanta newspaper prompted him to write Edward Cason, Sr, retired At ianta detective and father of Detec- tive Edward Cason, Jr.. of the city force. Meyers. reading of an arrest made by the younger> Cason, of whose existence he did not seem to know evidently believed that the elder Cason is still on the force and ex- presses surprise that he is stiM in service.
 The crime for which Meyers was sentenced to death was committed when he was nineteen years old and is unparalleled so far as cases of prem eddated murder are concerned veteran police officers say.
 Meyers frankly admits in his let ter that he is "homesick'' and ex- presses a. desire to return to the State of his birth.

 ''The development of the public schools of America, is one of the most essential and significant achievements of our history said Mir, CowIes, ''ind yet in our pub- lie schools we cannot train our boys and girls in religion. We have so many difference religious IpeIiefs and our fathers came here with ideas of religious toleration and religious freedom.
 There is nothing else left but that the Christian church should see thks thing and take hold or ii in the right way" MT.

BIRMINGHAM BUSY
 EXPORTING GOODS
Coal, Coke, Pipe, Iron and Wire Mill Products Leav-
 ing Mobile

Birmingham steel, iron and other products are moving out of port of Mobile in greater variety following the better condition prevailing in Latin-America. while the Pacific coast continues to be a regular taker of large amounts of cast iron pipe as well as pig iron and wire drawing mill products.
 Following items were reported in Tuesday manifests of the port:
 For Pacific coast: Steamer Agwin- dale with 1,537 tons of pig iron and cast iron pipe for Pacific coast.
 For Peru: Steamer Nordfarer with 5000 tons of coal and coke. The coke goes to the copper smelting works and Is initial cargo of large stand ing order covering several months.
 For Havana: Steamer Munisia with 34,604 pounds of cast iron pipe.
 For Caiberen, Cuba: Same steamer with 31,000 pounds of cast iron pipe.
 For Manzanilla, Cuba: Same steam CT with 3S,2o0 pounds of fence wire and staples.
 For Gauantanama, Cuba: Same steamer, with 40,125 pounds of fence wire and staples.
 Very recently a cargo of steel hoops manufactured in Birmingham moved to Buenos Ayres, while a Jap anese steamer took several thousand tons of rails for Japan.
 Warrior river barges move a large proportion of this tonnage to the gulf at 20 per cent less than the all- rail rate.

BIRMINGHAM PITCH
 COKE IN DEMAND
New Product of Barrett Com pany Shipped Over En-
 tire Country

There is a countrywide demand for the coke made of pitch by the Barrett company manufacturers of tarvia products at Fairfield.
 This coke Is 9s per cent carbon and its superior heating qualities have established repeat order wherever it has been tried.
 It is a new Birmingham product. The Barrett company began it's manu- facture last year in small number of the beehive ovens of the Republic Iron and Steel company. Since that time the number of ovens used has been increased to about l50 With an output of about the same number of tons of coke per diem.
 On account of it's quality the coke commands a higher price than either the beehive or by-products coke. It Is selling now on a base of 80 a ton compared with $5.50 ard SC for other cokes.
 The Barrett company utilizes for the manufacture of this coke the pitch that Nemains after it has ex- tracted the various properties re- quiredl in it's standard productions. Twenty to 30 thousands tons of this pitch had accumulated and there was no market for it.
 The Barrett company got it's chem ists busy and they evolved the new process of converting the pitch Into 9S per cent carbon coke. A market was established as soon as foundries tried Ii out.
 The coke now goes over the country and the demand is more than the company can care for.
