It's pronounced—like “haf,” a word, however, to which It is other- wise entirely unrelated, being an older form of “haul,” for which it is practically an exact equivalent. It means—to haul, to pull or draw with force, to drag; hence, to compel to go along. It comes from “haler,” of German or Scandinavian origin, and is akin to Anglo-Saxon, “gehollan,” to ac quire or get; to Danish, “halen,” to fetch, pull or draw; to Old German, “halon”; to Swedish, “ and perhaps to Latin, “cal: call or summon, It's used lke this—“Tha sailors haled at the ropes,” or, more com. monly in news English of the day, “Various attempts have been made to hale Boris Bakhmeteff, retiring tussian diplomat {n this countr. fore & congressional committea, | Sherlock Holmes’ Trick Sir Arthur Conan Deyte has mot made s dignified conctusion ef his efforts to convert America to spir itualism. At @ dinner given by the American Society of Magicians, Sir Arthur exhibited some motion pictures of dinosaurs and other re- constructed prehistoric antmals in action. He issued « confusing statement, meant to puzale inquir- ers who asked whether he thought he had conjured the beasts from the land of the spirits or not. The next day, Sir Arthur said his sole purpose was to play a prank en the magicians, But, spiritualism to Sie Arthar Conan Doyle is s matter of deep religious conviction. So he frames his confession of faith. In effect he has made « joke of what to him is s sacred theme. It is poor business. Furthermore, the pic tures are said to form part of s film version of Sir Arthur's story, “The Lost World,” in which gra some anifnals of the reptile age are shown. “The Lost World” is shortly to be exhibited. It seems as if Sir Arthur is not above using his position as a spiritualist to get free advertising for his films. ‘The affair cannot fail to react against Sir Arthur's spiritualistic agitation, It is one more evidenee of that absence of mental balance which is so disconcerting among professional spiritualists. ‘The most delicate product of the Creator is the human mind.
