8 THE SUNDAY ORECKIAX. PORTLAND; DECEMBER 26, 190D "This earth, compared with many a star That gleams through boundless space afar, Is but a speck among them all, A tiny globe, an ocean small. But on this little earth of ours The soul exists with all its powers, And that is greater in the sight Of God, than all the stars of light!" Rev. Charles M Sheldon. 1 fill Kueapta I-alladino and Her Fbenoraena, by Hfretvard Carrlns'ton. Illustrated. XI. ' W. Dodge & Co., Xw Yorjc Oity. To those unacquainted with spiritistic phenomena, it is necessary to explain that this severely critical book of 353 PHges describes Btranjte experiences of Mrs. Eusapia Palladino, a famous Nea politan medium who has been the subject of scientific experiment made by such eminent savants a Professor I-ombroso, Morselll, Richet. Surie. Bottazzl, Flam marlon, da'Arsonval. Sir Oliver Lodge and others. Those who scoff at spiritual ism may pans by the book, but to other thinkers It will be eagerly accepted as a lamp unto their paths. As to whether It is profitable or not to accept spirit ualism as a concrete fact, the present reviewer has nothing to do. The main point at issue Is to give a resume of what the book says and try to interpret a message which Is now widely discussed, pro and con. Mr. Carrington writes in a polished, in teresting style, with discreet caution pre dominating, and what he says must be accepted a coming from one qualified by study and scientific skill to speak on wuoh a subject. Mr. Carrington seems to be accepted as an expert prestidigltateur. m confirmed skeptic and an authority on the detection of psychic frauds yet lie has Joined the believers who manifest a cautious acceptance of Euaapia, the medium. X parallel is presented be tween Eusapia Falladino and Mrs. Piper, two famous mediums, and it Is shown that while Mrs. Piper has been examined by very few scientific men, she is accept ed as a medium whose actions occur in the light, a.nd during the time she re mains in a trance "her hand writes out certain messages automatically which aro read at the time by tne sitter. The whole point of Interest, In her case. Is the con tent of the written message." On the other hand, KuMtpla. Falladino is & "physical medium" that is. to t-jy, physical phenomena occur in her pres ence, and mental phenomena such as are usually seen In the presence of trance mediums, are missing. "Tables and chairs move about the room of their own accord, untouched by visible hands; the tables around which the sitters are seat ed rook violently and finally go com pletely in the sir. contrary to the law of gravitation. A stream of cold air seems 10 come from one place in her head. IJshta are seen in various parts of the room: musical Instruments are played, no hand touching them; hands and faces appear not belonging to any member of the circle or to the medium, and va rious other phenomena of a kindred na ture occur, quite inexplicable by any of the Known laws of physical science." It 1s seen. then, at a glance, that this Eusa pia Is a remarkable person, one of the most remarkable of our day. Flatnmarton is quoted as saying: "Eu sapia Palladino, Is a woman of verv or dinarr appearance, a brunette, her figure little under medium height. She was not all neurotic, rather stout. She was born January II, 1S54, in a village of La Pouille; her mother died while giving birth to a child: her father was assassi nated eight years afterwards. In 1S62. by brigands in Southern Italy. Eusapia Pal ladino is her matden name. She was married to a merchunt of modest means, named Raphael Delgais. a citiaen of Na ple She manages tr.e petty business of the shop. Is illiterate, does not know how to either read or write, understands only a little French. I conversed with her and soon perceived that she has no the ories and does not burden herself by trying to explain the phenomena pro duced by he.r." Mr. Carrington, for 151 pages, explains the various experiments madu by various savants on Eusapia to test her worth as a medium. On page 152 our author be slns to tell his personal experiments with the medium in November and December of llWS. in Naples, Italy, when he had the assistance of two scientific colleagues. Hon. Everard Fielding and "vv. AV. Bag gaily. The trio watched eagerly for trick work, but did not find visible evidence of K. Eusapia's work was such that the three examiners accepted her as a genuine me. dlum. Mr. Carrington's love of caution may be inferred from this extract: "Why does Eusapia cheat? I believe that she does this sometimes, simply and solely because of her love of mischief. She de lights in t-eeing onlookers at the phe nomena produced through her medium ship, and when she is in a trance state she remembers very little of what takes place, and. as It were, misses all the fun. But whan she Is In a normal state and ran observe what is going on. she will My fraudulently to produce phenomena simply and solely for the love of the thing. . . But I am convinced that ".he majority of her fraudulent phenomena re produced in a seml-tranoe condition and that she is unaware of her move ments. . . ,. There is a stror.g impulse to produce phenomena, and. if she is not restrained, she will endeavou to produce them in a perfectly normal manner. But If she is restrained, genuine phenomena will result as we repeatedly ascertained." Sometimes Eusapia commenced her I seances by being; seized with a fit of I hysterics, as if In pain. On other oeca I sions she was afflicted with nausea. "She appeared shrunken together, weak, nau seated, with loss of memory of much that nas transpired, her face deeply lined and sallow giddiness and general uncertain ty an to her surroundings these ere all symptoms which are observed at the conclusion of the seance, when even graver symptoms, such as hysteria, par tial saralysis. etc., do not supervene." At the seances the usual table-raps, ta-ble-tumblingB, spirit messages, spirit ap pearances manifested themselves, condi tions attendant on the usual high-class spiritistic seance presided over by an am bitious medium. Eueapla's "star-guide" or control is one John King, who is said to have been her father In a previous life. One Is surprised that this ances tor of hers is not given as one of the Caesars. When she is In a trance, Eusapia"s pulss gradually raises from 88 to 120 pul sations a minute. Mr. Carrington is sure that she Is not hypnotized and that he herself enters into the trance state when she becomes a link In the chain of hands. Naturally. Eusapia Insists on near-dark-ne.s for the operation of her psychic phe nomena, on the ground that light must be excluded because it destroys the sub tle forces produced and disintegrates the forms that would otherwise materialize. For example, a "dark room" is neces sary for the reproduction of a successful photograrh. Eusapia thinks that the force which causes the psychic phenom ena la a magnetic fluid which emanates from her body, when she is in a trance. What is the ultimate conclusion of it all? Mr. Carrington thinks that the most satisfactory hypothesis is the spiritistic, and makes these assumptions: Conscious ness persists after the dissolution of the organism: this consciousness maintains it personal Identity including, of course, memory; this consciousness ("soul") la or inhabits a body of the same shape as our physical body at least at first: It Is constantly about us in our surroundings capable of exercising certain functions t. ua cecmed supernormal, such as tele pathy, clairvoyance, etc.; It is normally 1'ivlstble to Uk, but may become visible under-certain conditions, as yet unknown, to one or more Individuals, and can then more cr Kre directly communicate with then'-, and, such an intelligence can only net on tho material lrunj through some Intermediary and not d ret tly either up t. a nei-voxa, mechanini (yiobably ir.di tectiy) or upon inert mat'.or (almost cer tainly ir.cl.iectly) through some eemi fiuidic lr.ee'. mediary.

Aristocracy and gambling combine to makethls novel a series of dashing, lively pictures, with scarcely a mo ment's let up there's always some thing doing. Needless to remark, the environment is English, and most of the people belong to that class of ele gant Idlers who have nothing very par ticular to do but fritter away money they never earned, yawn and show that they lack common sense. Take, for instance, scenes laid- at the country house of the De la Bocnes. There are two brothers, Andrew and Cecil De la Borne, and Cecil is "laying for" the Princess of Strurm and her friend, Forrest, to arrive from London to help him relieve Lord Ronald Engle ton of all hia spare cash In a "fixed" card game. The house party is at last settled, and the Prtnoess and Forrest consult about their plan of operations In the approaching game, in which they hope to ruin the noble lord, financially: "I am bothered about Engleton. Forrest said. "1 didn't like his insisting upon out tint; last night. What do you think, he meant by it?" The princess shrugged, her shoulders. "Nothing- at all," ehe answered. "He may have thought that - were lucky together, and of course he knows that you are th beet player. There la no reason why he Hhould be willing to play with Cecil de la Borne when by cutting with you he would b more likely to win." "You think that that la all?" Forrest asked. "I think so." the princess-answered. "What had you in your mind?" "I wondered." Forrest said thoughtful! v. "whether he had heard any of the gossip at the club." The princess frowned Impatiently. "For Heaven's sake, dou't b imagina tive, Nlgeh" she declared. "If you give way Ilka this you will lose your nerve In ao time." "Very well." Forreat maid. "Let ua take It for granted, then, that he did tt only because he preferred to play with me to playing against me. What is to become of our litt;e cheme if wa cut as we did last night all the time?" The princess smiled. "You ought to be able to manage that " h cald erell.v. "You are so good at card tricks that you ahould able te get an ace when you want It. I always cut third from the end. you know." -There la only one way. Ena." Forreat aald. "In which we conld Improve matters." "And what w that?" she aaked quickly lnV?on t you ,hlnk we could get our host ne princess was silent for several mo ments. "It is a little dangerous. I am afraid," she said. "I don't see why." Forrest 'answered. "It he were once In he'd have to hold his tongue, and you can do Juct what you like with him. He seems to be Just one of those pulpy sort of persona whom ydu could .per suade Into a thing before he had hod time to think, about it." Cecil falls In with the plans of his fellow conspirators. .The big scene comes after a long night's play, when Engleton says he does not wish to play any more. "Another rubber" is the cry of the genteel robbers. And then: The others came toward the table, and the princess throw down the cards. They all three cut. Engleton, however, did not move. "I think." he said, "that you did not quite understand me. I said that I did not care to play any niore." "Three against one." the princess re marked lightly. "Why not play cutthroat, then?" Engle ton remarked. "It would be an excellent arrangement." "Why ao?" Forrest asked. "Because you could rob one another." En gleton said. "It would be interesting to wateh." A few seconds'- intense silence followed Engleton's wordF. It waa tha princess who first spoke. Her tone was composed, but ehllly. She looked toward Engleton with teady eyes. "My dear Lord Ronald," she said, ''Is this a Joke? I am afraid my sense of humor grows a little dull at this hour of the morning." "It was not meant for a Joke," Engleton said. "My words were spoken in earnest " The princess, without any absolute move ment, seemed suddenly to become more erect. One forgot her rouge, her- blackened eyebrows, her powdered cheeks. It was tha great lady who looked at Engleton "Are we to take this. Lord Ronald," she asked, "aa a serious accusation ?" "You can take it for what it Is, madam." Engleton answered -"the truth." -Caoll de la Borne rose to his feet and leaned across the table. His cheeks were as pale as death. His voice was shaking. "I am your host, Engeton," he said, "and I demand an explanation of what you have said. Tour accusation is absurd. You must be drunk or out of your senses" . "I am neither drunk nor out of my senses." Engleton answered, "nor am I such an utter fool as to be so easily deceived. The fact that you, as my partner, played like an idiot, made rotten declarations, and revoked when one rubber waa nearly won, I pass over. That may or may not have been your miserable Idea of the game. Apart from that, I regret to have discovered that you, Forrest, and you. madam." he added, addressing the princess, "have made use throughout the last seven rubbers oc a code wUh your Angers, both for the declarations and for the leads. My suspicions were aroused. I must confess, by accident. It was remarkably easy, however, to verify them. Look here!" Engleton touched his forehead. "Hearts!" he said. He touched his lip. "Diamonds!" he added. He passed his fingers across his eyebrows "Spades!" Major Forrest rose to his feet. Whew! The scene suggests red-hot iron emitting sparks when struck with a blacksmith's hammer.

Yale Uni versity Press, New York City. This eloquent preacher is canon of Westminster and rector of Westminster. England, and the book now presented contains the Lyman Beecher. lectures Dr. Henson delivered during this present, but now swiftly passing, year, before the Yale Divinity School, and three sermons. Dr. Hendson writes and preaches for the religious laymen of the churches, and he gives a general appeal to the man in the pew to believe in all that is best. He is frank enough to say that with the growth of new issues In the church, such as the sudden emergence of Socialism as It diverts men's minds from spiritual is sues, from every point of view the out look for an honest English preacher is not very encouraging. Two of the best, most helpful sermons are: "Functions and Clatms of the Preacher" and "The interpretation of Scripture in Sermons."

Charles H. Kerr & Co.. Chicago. III. Mr. Myers thinks that the great family fortunes of the United States, such as those of the Astors. Vanderbllts. etc., are the natural, logical outcome of a system based upon factors, the Inevitable result of which is the utter despoilment of the many for the' benefit of a few. In short, Mr. Myers Is a Socialistic sympathizer, and writes with brilliant cleverness from that point of view. Plutocrats are demolished, in these pages, again and again; and a contrast is presented of "accelerated concentra tion of Immense wealth running side by sirle with a property-less, expropriated and exploited multitude." - Argument is generHlly directed against a system which subsists upon the institutions of private property and wage labor.

Bullet ina Publishing Company, Portland. Or. A little book of verse, breathing beauty of thought, the conviction of our common brotherhood, and sensing the teachings of reincarnation and what is known as a "new thought" idea. -Mrs. Armstrong is a Portland woman, and her poetry Is very creditable to her and the city that is her home. Her book consists of 46 printed pages,, and her poems are 37 in number. The most beautiful in poetic finish and purity of imagery are. "If I Were the Earth and You Were the Sun," "The Second Birth," "The Spiritual Rock," "Life After Death" and "The Crown of Motherhood." One humorous poem. "The Bitter With the Sweet." has a smiling vein in it, one that a woman will be sure to appreciate. The book Is dedicated to the author's family and friends "and the evergreen hills of Ore gon."

Etven the hardened, cynical reader would look his astonishment, i asked to reed a history of our country, a history from an absolutely new point of view, witty, sarcastic, searching.

Well, Judge Moore's' history now issued, is such a rare Jewel, although he cheerfully ad mits that his is the only history on the market which admits its literary inac curacy. The recording of grave histor ical events is not attempted with serious import, but very little of our history es capes our author's eagle eye. as he looks around for something on which to hang a Joke and bring the laugh. The history is so up-to-date that it in cludes reviews of the Taft administra tion and the Peary-Cook controversy. Tbe Children's Book, edited by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Illustrated. ?l.3u.
