BERLIN, August 9O.-Another
psychic" phenomenon, backed up by
Photographic evidence, has been up
set with nothing more than a rubber
glove filed with water, plus COM
mon alarm clock.
Dr. Julius Won Ries, a well known
physician. tells of a woman living at
Geneva who believed that she was
possessed of the power Of animal
magnetism" and practiced the lay
ing on of hands to cure sick people
In an effort to learn whether any
physical emanation actually did come
out from her hands. she laid her left
hand on a covered Photographic plate
and kept it there for half an hour
After development the plate showed
luminous print the size and shape of
her hand. with what seemed to be
short rays streaming out.
DR.. Won Ries was somewhat skep-
teal. He tried the experiment over
again, and got the same luminous
print. Then he substituted q rub
Der glove filled with warm water for
the living hand, weighted down with
a running alarm clock to simulate
the pulse-and again got the same
pattern. Finally he used glass YES
sci filled with water and weighted
down with the clock, and once more
got a print, this time the shape of
the bottom of the glass.
He concludes. therefore. that the
photographic effect is not psychical
but physico chemical. The warmth
of the hand or of the water reduces

In these experiments, conducted by

curious fact developed from the
experiment Is that in a straight wind
a low pressure area Is created just
above the roof. The atmospheric
pressure inside the building exerts a
push upward. This is held to ex-
plain why roofs often are carried
away in heavy winds while the rest
of the building remains unframed
But they are thrown off rather than
pulled off.
The experiments have provided a
new formula for use by architects in
estimating the stress and strain to
which buildings constructed accord

for aeronautical tests. is proving of
