;ULT HUNGERS
AMID THE SNOW
Xu\v York, March 6.? (Special).?
riie claims of Sir Oliver Lodge to
cnpwledge gained through mediums
>f a life herafter, an experience on
vhich he bases much of his writing
>11 immortality, are without reasonible
fundation, in the opinion o;
rames II. Leubn, professor of psyihology
at Bryn Mawr College. Proi'.
_,euba is the man who a few yeaiv
igo caused much comment by the pub
ication of a book on immortality, in
vhich he showed that college profes
;ors in increasing numbers are doubtng
the existence of a future life.
After criticising Sir uliver Lodge*.;
leductions from his psychic experi?nces
Prof. Leuba was led to inquire
f it were not possible that in older
ige the critical faculties are nc :
veakc-ned so "that a man may retains
technical ability but be deficient
n critical analysis.
'"None oL' the communication* >.o
'tilled, from the other world has eve.
isen to a dignity that should cha;
icterize the sayings of the men th'
nedium pretends to interpret." sai;!
'rof. Leuba. "I can refer you '.?
iomething which I have prepared f?
he Enclycopoedia of Religion &rd
Ethics, which I think casts son.
loubt on the value of these spirit'i; !
evelations.' I said in that:
. "lluul and unusual phenomena,
ersilily explicable through spirit!;
vhile the' belief in their existence
vas unshaken, grows mysterious in
he extreme as soon as thai simple
01111 of explanation becomes open to
uispicion. Scepticism regarding the
(xistence of spirits led. in 1S82 to
he foundation of the Society for Psy:hical
Research. (Of which Sir Oliver
jOdge is president.)
"The outcome of the work of the
;ociety with regard to the physical
)!ienomena may be conservatively
mmmed up as Hie establishment of
lie improbability of there being any
l.innr i., thnm hilt POllSCiOUS Ol' Ull
sonscious fraud?unconscious when
he medium performs while in a
ranee. Tlie greatest achievement of
he physical researchers is the well
iigh unquestionable demonstration of
tccasional communication between
wo persons without any known in
.? ! mediary.
"There is another class of phenom evolutionary
hypothesis. P>ut who
,vill venture to formulate the test
vhich will mark particular niesi.iges
as not within the possibly
itiown to some one living anywhere
>n tlie globe?
"The telepathic hypothesis of spirI
me-s;igea receives support from the
mexpcctcd meaninglessnefts of the
revelations' made by tlie alleged
spirits regarding their state and the
n'rcumstances of their existence.
They have been fairly loquacious: yet
lone of them, not evn those from
vliom much could have been expected
lave revealed anything at all. More
significant than the insignificance of
heir remarks concerning the other
ifo is the pertinacious.effort of these
illeged spirits to avoid answering tho
liany and pointed questions addressMi
to thein on that subject.
"From Richard Hodgson, the late
secretary of the Society of Psychical
tosearch, nothing enlightening has
jeen learned, despite his haste in
jiving sign of his existence. Of
:rifling incidents which may be use111
in establishing his identity he has
alked abundantly; but. when questioned
concerning the circumstances
)f his existence, lie either driveled or
iXCiisseti ni nisei i i'iuiumii.v aim ucimi i?d.
Frederick Myers and William
Fames have been equally disappointng.
"It has been urged.that the spirits
nay find it difficult to work the nmsjulnr
mechanism of the medium; a
lisincarnate soul may be inefficient
in the matter of bodily control; lie
nay also be for a time not fully conscious
and muddled. The fact is.
lowever, that spirits do communicate
nnny things: it takes volumes to re:ord
their utterances! The difficulties
are apparently of such peculiar
lature that nothing concerning the
)ther life, and only things that have
akn place on this earth, transpire.
"Why are the things picked out al.
