(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. ?i f>l ~ .n?nl1.'na|nc,C vil-1 1/Ml ous?

"And to those who regard the suits of the Society for Psychical I search as proving survival, they nn admit that no amount of optimi 'and ingenuity in explanation c j hide the repulsiveness of such glin ;ses of the future life as they thi they have caught and its lack of t essential features of the Christi ,'conception.
