ON THE EDGE OF THE UNKNOWN,

STARTLING INVESTIGATIONS IN THE DOMAIN OF SPIRITUALISM.

Can the dead return. Can they com municate with the living? Is the greatest riddle of the universe on the point of being solved by modern spiritualiam ?

merely so many ontoh-penny tricks? Those are big questions. They have boon left long in the limbe of natried actions; but now the trial has begun. Ono William Marriott, who has made the occult a life study, who has investigated all phases of mediumship, pyrchometry, spirit-healing, and the like, now boldly contends that the dead do not and cannot communicate with the living, and that the vast number of spirit messages constantly being delivered by mediums are absolutely fraudulent. And he roundly challenges Sir Oliver Lodge and the conclusions of his book, "The Survival of Man."

He challenges Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Willian Crookes and any of the spiritualists to bring forward a medium who can produce a single phenomenon which will bear the test of intelligent investigation.

THE SLATE

And sometiniss a median will take a clean slate, and show it to the company to prove there is uo deception. The slate he places on the table, and all wait for the sound of a slate-pencil scratching a message. The sound is duly heard, a message is written and read. All are satisfied that the medium did not write it; his hands were behind his back, er naywhere but on the slate. The simple key to the wonder is that the late placed on the table is not the slate first exhibited. Sleight of hand and an exchange of slates previously written. The sound of writing was The message had been | deceived the eye.

produced by a little jugglery under the table, performed by the mediam's knee.

Once it happened that a visitor to such a nonjuring trickster of a melium found the hidden and prepared slate. The medium's back being turned for a moment he added a message to the one already there. The mediam half began to believe in spiritualism when he read the second message.

Some mediums go so far na to sorow two clean slates together, and afterwards to discover spirit-messages within; one medium reaped a rish harvest by producing spirit-writings on his sitters' own slates. Now it is a simple fact that if two alates are screwed together by four screws, one in the centre of each side, a wedge easily may be introduced between them. After putting pencil at its point makes an ideal writing in the wedges, a thin umbrella rib with a slado

MAGNETIC FORON.

Once Mr Marriott encountered a medium who

performed still a greater marvel An ordinary Blate was pat on a table with pieces of chalk of various colours. Mr. Marriott was asked to pat question, and to say in which colour he would like the answer to be written. He did so-and then and there before his eyes the chosen plece of chalk uprose, as it were, and scrawled an aBawer to the question, for all the world as if moved by spirit force.

Mr. Marriott slipped one of the pieces of chalk into his pookat, and, at home, analysed it. Ho found the chalk mixed with iron filinga And there was the seerat of the spirit foros. The slate was an ordinary one-but the table was some- thing specialit had a very thin top, and banoath the top was a powerful magnet. Ey the piece of chalk could be made to write at will.

the medium looked at him, just as though bo wished he were in the spirit world.

Spirit-writing done by this method can always be detected, as the words ran one into the other. It would not be possible to quote here all the strange oncos of spirit trickery which Mr. Mar- riott has exposed-how electricity and magne tism play the parts of spirits in the hands of clarer mediams, and how shemistry is applied to make invisible writing enddenly visible.

Mr. Marriott makes many revelations in the scienos of trance writing." He shows clearly that those trance-writings all have one thing in common--they deal invariably with matters in the overy-day knowledge of the writers, and they deal with the most mundane ideas.

Mr. Marriott a gests: "Perhaps Hurley had this anomaly in mind when he asserted that the only thing to be said in favour of spiritualism was that if afforded an additional argument against suicide."-Daily Mail.
