AMAZING EXPERIMENTS.

"America, land of many amazing enterprises, is now watching with keen interest the operations re- cently started by Mr. John Slater, organiser of TPTHC-the Chicago Spiritualist Radio Station.

Mr. Slater and his followers claim that thought is all-powerful, that the human brain radiates-just na the wireless set does-waves that go out through the ether to perform work for good for evil.

When TPTHC senda out a call it| is estimated that five million "fans," or enthusiasts, will listen

to the voice of Mr. John Slater. He will call upon his vast, unseen fol- lowing to concentrate upon the care of a certain sufferer. From San Francisco to New York, from Dakota to New Orleans, the thoughti
