"SOON TALK TO DEAD"
So Declares Bishop Samuel Fal

POISONING GROUND, SQUIRREL
"TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED."
Prominent Divine of Reformed Epis
copal Church Says He Never Saw a
Spirit, but Has Known People Who
Have Seen Spirits New Science of
"I mmortal ism."
"Telepathy is an established fact In
recent years great strides have been
made in tbe explanation of psychic
phenomena, and in the years to come
the science of communication with the
dead will be made a part of the curric
ulum of great educational institutions.
As Its study becomes systematized and
more widely spread greater advances
will be made, and some day we will
talk with the spirits as we now talk
with material persons."
This statement is made by Bishop
Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Epis
copal church. He is well known in
Chicago, where he resides.
.Future advancement in the science
cf "Immortalism," which is spiritual
ism with the "fakes" left out, will
some day bring it to the point where
It will be studied by the' masses just

tic, geugraimy or grammar, according

In the enlightened days to come, says
-' Tr. Fallows, we shall be able to con
verse with spirits of departed' friends
and relatives. Their state will be made
' known to us through these communi-
cations. They will be able to advise
vns on fcnotty problems, he adds.
; Hasn't Yet Seen a Spirit.,
-Bishop Fallows quotes a speech of
X)r. Adam Clarke, In which that cele
brated commentator said: -;
"! believe that spirits may. accord
ing to the order of &od, In the laws of
their place of residence, have inter
jccwrse with this world and become tIs
'ible to mortals. ..
v'BJd you ever see a spirit?" Bishop
Fallows was asked.

mnw feel that their experiences were
of great value and that I sustained an
incalculable loss by not going deeper
into the matter witn tnem.
"You really believe, then, that spir

:and that they may talk with and influ
ence a material mind?" he was asked.
-'J do firmly believe that. r There are

"Mysterious Agencies."
"In many cases they were unable to
identify the mysterious agencies. , They
had merely an Intangible feeling that
they should change their course. But

scribe Its appearance. These Instanced

"There are great truths in spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand, but we have to
admit them. I have called the new
science "immortalism because it de
pends for its existence upon the im
mortality of the soul. In which we au
1elieve, and the preservation of iden
tity beyond the grave. Immortalism is
simply spiritualism with all the frauds
-and trickery eliminated. On account
-of these frauds spiritualism has been
-shunned by many right thinking peo
ple, but immortalism will claim their
most earnest attention."
In support of his belief Bishop Fal
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views. ,
Results of Tests In California to' Kill
Destructive Animal. - .
Interesting 'results were recently an
nounced by the forest service as a re-,
suit of the campaign conducted in
southern California by Stanley E.
Piper, expert. of tbe biological survey
of the department of agriculture, to ex
terminate ground squirrels and go
phers. "N
Extensive experiments were made to
determine the best means of killing off
these destructive little animals, and it
was found that the most effective re
sults were obtained by using poisoned
green or ripening barley heads. The
squirrels are exceedingly fond of this
green herbage and eagerly ate the poi
soned food placed along their runways.
Tests were also made with oats, wheat.
barley, raisins, prunes, dried apples
and cracked corn, but these did' not
prove so successful.
While green barley proved most suc
cessful for poisoning ground squirrels,
yet the difficulty of procuring a suffi
cient supply in all localities led to
dried barley grain being tried. The
grain was treated with strychnine sul
phate, saccharine and eggs, and, al
though this combination proved very
destructive to the squirrels, it had
practically no effect upon doves and
quail. In fact, a deliberate attempt
was. made to poison these birds at
their watering places,' but no bad ef
fect resulted. The poisoned grain was
also used in fields grazed over by
sheep and produced no ill effects what
ever. '
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used. in the poison experiment It
was found that by sprinkling the ap
ples or raisins with the strychnine so
lution as effective results were pro
duced as could be obtained by insert
ing the poison Into the fruit
The experiments for extermination
of squirrels also resulted In the death
of a considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments it was found
that poisoned oats proved very effec
tive in killing -both jacks and cotton
tails. Green alfalfa was also used with
good results for the same purpose.

PAULHAN, FRENCH AVIATOR.
Winner of World's Record For Dura
tion of Flight at Rheims Meet.
Louis Paulhan. the French 'aviator
who recently ; won the" world's; record
for duration of flight at the aviation
meet in Rheims, France, is twenty-six
years old. While still a mechanic In
the workshop where the dirigible Ville
de Paris " was constructed two' years
ago he won a prize for a toy aeroplane
at M..Lepine's toy exhibition. The
prize was an aeroplane offered by Voi
sinr and jit was in this machine that
Paulhan made his great flight the other
day. ... ', ..- - .' . I- '
When he won the prize Paulhan ex
hibited it to his friends, but as it had
no engine and he. was not rich enough
to buy one it was of no use to him at
that time. A few friends, however,
formed a little- company, bought a mo
tor and sent Paulhan out to give ex
hibition flights. ; '
Bis experience accordingly dates
from the beginning of July or tnis
year, when after a very few practice
flights he exhibited his machine at
Douia, where he reached the record
height of 450 feet. He also flew for
1 hour 32 minutes. Later on he exhib
ited the aeroplane at Dunkirk, where
he won some $2,000 in prizes. Paul
han is married and has one child.

Ouentin Bauehart, an influential

will ask for an appropriation of $20.-

Paris and Bordeaux.
Paul Doumer, former president of

Deriod of preliminaries was now past
and that the. world's scientists and en
eineers should set to work on the con'
struction of aeroplanes that shoNild be
practical as well as powerful.
Some of the French newspapers
especially interested .. in aviation are
already agitating for a change of rules
for the international cup, which was
won by Glenn H. Ourtiss. They say a
twenty kilometer (twelve and two-fifths
miles) dash does not furnish- an ade
quate test of the merits of the ma
chines and point out that when the
conditions were laid down twenty, kilo
meters seemed, a great achievement,
but this has already been outgrown.
It is suggested that a change be made
to a long distance endurance race.

Actual House Remains In Lichfield
Where the Great Genius Was Born.'
Old Three Crowns Inn Also Exists.
Sept. 18 the Big Day.
Shakespeare excepted, it is doubtful
if there Is another great writer of the
past whose personality appeals more to
readers on both sides of the Atlantic
and to Americans in particular than
does that of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the
irascible English scholar and poet re
nowned lexicographer and hero of the
most remarkable biography ever writ
ten. '
Lichfield, the little city in Stafford
shire, England, where Dr. Johnson was
born, was his home for over thirty
years. This month is likely to -see
Lichfield thronged with Americans, for
it is at this time that Johnson's city
will celebrate in a way worthy of his
fame the two hundredth anniversary.
at Its great man's birth.
Preparations for the Johnson bicen
tenary celebration have been going on
for many months. Dr. Johnson en
tered this mundane sphere on Sept. 18,
1709, and on Sept. 16, 1909, the com
memoration exercises in his honor will
begin at Lichfield with an exhibition
of relics of the grouchy old philosopher
in the venerable house In Market square
where he first saw the light of day. ;
Authentic Birthplace.
Unlike a good many other literary
shrines, there is no doubt about the
authenticity of Dr. Johnson's birth
place. Luckily for the lexicographer's
admirers, tbe quaint two storied house
with pillars where old Michael John
son kept .his .bookshop became the
property oif the corporation of -Lien-field
a ew ;yeas ago. It then "was in
sorry condition, hut has been rever
ently restored and now is. practically
as it was when Samuel Johnson lived
In it. Part of the exhibition of John
soniana which visitors to the house
will see next September, is a perma
nent collection which has been formed
and placed in the building since its ac
quisition by the corporation, but other
relics of the sage are to come from
many quarters.. While examining these
and., going through the house, visitors
will be able to use their imaginations
and picture the famous moralist first
as '- a juvenile poet apostrophizing
"good master duck" and what not oth
er pets and later as a studious youth
filling his head with the contents of
the tomes in his father's bookshop.
Later still they will see Johnson who
was described as "the best qualified
for Oxford of all the young men that
had ever gone there," home again
without his degree because of insuffi
cient, means to continue his studies,
and finally they will figure him, after
the failure of his ill fated academy,
quitting Lichfield for London In' com
pany with Davjd Garrick. who had .
been one of his two pupils.
The second day of the Lichfield cele
bration will be devoted mainly to visits
to places of interest associated with
Johnson and his friends. One of these ,
will be the old Three Crowns inn,
which- stands next door but one to the
Johnson homestead. . Regarding its
claim to Jiave housed the choleric
scholar and his biographer there. Is no
question. "Dr. Johnson, in fact, almost
invariably put up at the Three Crowns
when he came down to Lichfield from
London, and he first brought Boswell
with, him In the historic year 1776.
The old inn is said to be practically
just as it was when -Johnson and Bos
well drank innumerable cups of tea
there. '
To Play "She Stoops to Conquer."
On the afternoon of. this day there
will be a lecture on "The Life and In
fluence, of the Master at the Lichfield
Grammar School," where Johnson was
a pupil under Hunter, which peda
gogue he described as "very severe
and wrong, headedly severe." On the
evening of the second day , of the cele
bration there will be a performance
by local amateurs of Goldsmith's com
edy "She Stoops to Conquer," which
was dedicated to Johnson. '
Next day other places which are as
sociated with Johnson and his friends
will be visited. Among these will be
Edial, where the 111 starred "academy
for young gentlemen," in which the
scholar managed to sink most of his
wife's little fortune, was situated.
Sept. ' 18. ' Johnson's birthday, will.
however, be the big day of Lichfield's
celebration. On this date there will
be a great gathering of citizens, visitors
and children in the Market square,
where stand statues of the doctor and
his faithful Boswell. Addresses -will
be made ' by distinguished scholars,
hymns will be sung and medajs presented.-
Later the mayor of Lichfield
will hold a reception at the guildhall
and tbe annual meeting of the Johnson
club will be held. The evening will
witness a Johnson supper at the bid
George hotel. Sunday,; Sept. 19. will
see the end of tbe Johnson celebration
with a service at the cathedral, which
has been described as the "most chaste
and one of the most 'perfect in the
world."
