o GHOSTS ARE ; PHOTOGRAPHED Real Light Thrown on Dis- ! coveries of European Scientists. Ghosts at last have been "hoj? tied," taken into the laboratory and weighed and photographed. Its "been done by three European scion tists, Dr. G. Oley of Par si. Dr. A. von Schrenck Notzintf of Mvn\'h and the late Dr. W. J. Crawford of Belfast, Ireland. Investigations by these three nu n j hgvn in " nfv. 1VI . ?- . IV> | years, but the current issue of I'o;> -, ular Science Monthly only now 1 throws real light on the importance ' of their discoveries. i The scientists have found that j phantom faces do appear in spiritual-1 istic seances, that tables can be lift- ! ed, that bells can be rung and that j supernatural messages can be received. All this done, they, say, through the agency of a mysterious lacelike material thrown out from the me- ( dium's body which they call plasma. s It's ghost substance. , Plasma, they say their experiments show, is a material substance, ( highly sensitive to light but which j can be felt and photographed, al- ( though it is normally invisible. ' Tt is a substance that can assume the shape of a hand or face or even an entile figure; a substance that can move an object. And it is thrust from the bodies of mediums! , Dr. Von Schrenck-Notzing is quoted as describing one scance with the < Polish medium Stanlslawa: ] "She would keep her hands about < six inches apart, fingers extended, ( and wrists on the table. She would j -wait for a prickling sensation to oc- | cur as a forerunner to the plasma i emanation. She would then make a j few passes over a small aluminum , "box placed in front of her. This, she W!ic fn mnlro 'i nan i An v..r ,.vv?| ?.

Use of the advertising columns of! the daily press for general church advertising, as well a> for evangelistic purposes, has just been unanimously endorsed by two important! conferences of the Protestant Epis-' copal Church in the United States.! To give immediate effect to this ac-j tion, says the New York World, the! Headquarters New Bureau of thej church in New York was requested to add at once to its staff an expert; in advertising to co-operate in preparing and suggesting advertising copy for the use of the various dio-' coses and parishes of the church througout the country. An official announcement from the "Publicity Department of the Protestant Episcopal Church," No 281 Fourth avenue, says: 4 "This action, taken by one of the big church organizations of the country, marks a distinct advance ia the attitude of ithe church toward the secular press and is part of the] forward movement inaugurated in i connection with the centennial an-i 'niversary of the Epicopal Mission-j ary Society, which will he celebrat-i ed throughout the world the coming! November. Especially significent is the emphasis which is laid upon the j recommendation that the secular press be used as a medium for "evangelistic" advertising. "Heretofore, church advertising has been largely confined to notices i of Sunday service and like matter; .but with the one hundred years of achievement behind its Missionary Society the Church aims now at a broader effort than ever to lay its message before the world, and taking a page from the book of the big secular enterprises it is anticipated that advertising of a purely spiritual nature will be embarked upon on an upward scale by all the churches of the Episcopal Communion.
