Il"lll\‘f"l‘lll!, and the like. There are many ways by which this accomplished, but the basi® idea of the plan is an actual canvass of the cities and towns where the mediums are located. The mediums them- | selves do not fare forth undisguised to | learn family history and to pry into pri- | vate affairs. It is more productive of re- | suits, and not at all harmful in conse- quences, that these things should be done by canvassers for articles which take them nto the homes of the people. It s called “planting” a town, and is done as care- fully as the census taker or the directory worker does his work Photographs often are secured, family Bibles peered into cemetery lots visited, the newspapers cares |tully read, and if any confirmed habitue of the spiritualistic seance thinks to long escape being listed in the blue book, to- gether with his full pedigree, let him once | tor all abandon that idea to get him as Dun or Bradstreet Is sure to get the man who sets up in business the names of all the people. The spirit- ualist cares nothing for information except about people who have the seance bug. And this enables the descriptions to be full and complete. of the departed relatives is listed, and any particular marks of identification or phy- sical pecullarities of deceased persons likely to be Mnquired after are noted. By the use of this information the mediums, in the darkness or semi-darkness and the sup- pressed excitement of the seance room have made thousands of credulous persons identify the materialized spirits of dead men, The act of ‘‘materializing”” the dead Is regartled as the highest attainment of the spiritualistic medium. Doubters who have stood out against every other form of phem){m‘vm unconvinced have been con- verted when they have beheld these ap- paritions of lost loved ones, have been made to repent of their former doubts and I have been firmly anchored to the bellef that there is all truth in spiritualism Honest and highly intelligent men have been unable after serious investigation to explain these phenomena. Yet when It is explained it becomes as clear as any maglelan's trick. To fllustrate how com- pletely puzzling may seem the material- izing seance and yet how clear and plain the fraud when laid bare, one needs only relate the confession of a medium brought into a not one, but ghosts, one at a time, and then, grand- tinale-of-the-circus fashion, all seven to- gether, the while he himself was strapped to a chalr and the sitters examined between each act of the ghostly drama | There were thirty-five sitters In room.

Conversation with them confirmed the eyves; they told thelr names, had died, and a dozen Intimats of purely family concern. Then ordered the lights out, were trans- again into spols of light on the carpet and returned to their “splirit world." Four more appeared In turn, with an ex- of the medium between times, that he was still firmly strapped ad bound. Each was duly recognized by some sitter present as a long lost friend, with whom a convincing conversation was held. After they all had disappeared as mysterfously as they came the grand finale was given, In which all seven spirits returned again, conversed with their re- #pective friends and then disappeared. Not one of the thirty-five sitters went away unconvinced. ow for the explanation, In the celling of the cabinet there was a trap-door. While the music box played the spirits descended the ladder conveniently let down. The diaphanous-robed lady was ba footed and attired in a night gown. When she got to the bottom of the ladder she pulled a vast length of the finest net from a. pocket in her gown. One of her hanfls was painted with luminous paint. On putting it out from under the curtain the #pot light on the floor appeared. The filmy white net which she waved around as she gradually crawled from under the curtain and rose to her full stature, represented the cloud without form out of which she finally materialized. Spots of luminous paint rep- resented dlamonds in the dark, and when the dim lights were turned on cheap stones glittered where the paint had shone before, She disappeared as she came. All the others came as she did and disappeared in the same way. The conversations wers made up in advance from the medium’ blue book and his personal investigations. Mediums find that the most profitable sitters in the world are the Impression- able old men who love to be hugged and kissed by spirits and who under such in- fluences become willing to part with their cash more quickly. When the spirits, by their tales of soul mates and such things, work: these old gentlemen up to the point where they cannot restrain their desire for permanent materialization any longer the datffy old fellows are sent far away to keep the tryst, while the medium finds it convenient to operate somewhere els There are cases on record where such old men have spent $20,000 in such seance: Of course, they never ‘“squeal” Who would under such clrcumstances? Of course, all materializations are not accomplished in the manner related above. Sometimes the spirits have confederates among the spectators, sometimes they crawl Into the room through a secret panel. Sometimes hands or faces appear in the shape of simple masks or olay bands covered with luminous paint. What appears to be only a lead pencil in the hand of the medium at the beginning of a seance is in reality a telescoped rod three feet long. A pair of tongs can easily be concealed and they may lift the lum- inous head or hand out over thd audlence In a startling way. Sometimes the me- dium herself plays the ghost. She may be as big and fat as all outdoors, but a black robe thrown over her shoulders may hida all the white except that sufficient to rep- resent a petlte figure, Anyone who is tempted to carry his In- vestigations to the point of grabbing the ghost and suddenly striking a mateh would better be warned, It has been tried, and sometimes & blow over the head with a blackjack some other uncomfortable experience has been the reward. - This sto of the ways and means of “ma- terlalization” might be extended through many columns without exhausting the subject, Bul however mysterious the materlalization” the explanation always fs as simple as those here outlined By FREDERIC J, HASKIN.
