Seeing The Human Soul.
A most remarkable discovery ha
recently developed in this city, says
the Lincoln (Neb.) correspondent of
the Chicago "Tribune." It is of such .
an astounding nature that thp corres
pondent hesitates to give the circum
stances to the public on account of
being barred at present from giving
names, although there is not good
reason why it should cot be done
However, the qcntlenian jrho made
the. discoveryrequests. U, This di
closura consists in proving beyond the
possibility of a doubt by scientific
means the existence of the human
soul, laying bare the greatest secrets
of na'ure, and proving the doctrine of
eternal faiih, "that the soul of man
doth live," the disclosures and proofs
of which will shortly startle and as
tonish the entire world.
For the sake of convenience the gen
tlernanalluded to will be called Mr.
Holland, a man of small statue, mild
eye and thoughtful countenancp, a de
vout Christian, possessing a peculiar
belief that the soul of man is a coun
terpart of the body itself; and in this
theory of the dual man he sought the
key of life and death. He reasoned
that within this body of bone and sin
ew was yet another body existing in
vapory form, which death alone can
free, and that by a simple microscopic
dsvico the dull sight of a human eye
might penetrate the minutest parti
cles of the air we breathe, and see the
soul take form and flight to the boun
ilaries of another worltJ. His atten
tion was first attracted to this, he
says, by a man lying upon a sofa suf
fering with a pain in hit. foot, and yet
there was no foot there to suffer the
leg having been amputated nearly to
the hip. "For years, says Mr. Hol
land, "this incident ran through my
mind, until at last I resolved upon an
pxnenment.. -I, procured rther most
''-...r. . :.".

,"t"T-I",N-M.! M"- ac.i. .-h'-r
ly;,soUicoala'exaaiiue-lhe microbes of
the air, I called upon a friend who had
lost his arm, and explained that I
wanted him to put his imaginary hand
where I directed. He laughingly ac
companied me to my room and did as
I debired. The moment I adjusted
the glass, a world of revelation broke
upon me. The dual hand lay beneath
my glass; I asked him to make letters
with his imaginary finger. He did so,
and to his wonder and astonishment
I spelled out the sentences he wrote.
That was conclusive evidence to dp,"
continued Mr. Holland, "and you
know the rest."
The second experiment was one of
the greatest difficulty that of watch
ing the soul itself .take flight. The
friends of dying men would not allow
experiments, and, indeed, it would
have been a delicate matter to have
a&Led it. Hospitals afforded oppor
tunities, but physicians and attend
ants had no faith in the experiments
of the quiet gentleman, whom they no
doubt alluded to as a "crank," so for
nearly a year he was waiting for some
man who was ready to die.
The opportunity came at last; a con
sumptive wanderer from the East
sought relief in the Western air. He
fell peniless, and about to be taken by
the authorities to the county poor-
boue, when Mr. Holland interposed
and bad him removed to his own
home to nurse and watth him die.
Through many long hours of the night
Mr. Holland sat by the bedside of his
charge fanning the spark of life lest it
should go out in the night, when aU
efforts at the experiment would be lost,
and leaving orders by day with his
wife to call him the moment the pa
tient seemed to be sinking.
The fatal moment came al out 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Stretched
upon a low bed stead, with the death
rattle sounding in his throat, lay the
young man of perhaps 23 years of age.
Mr. Holland quietly motioned the
correspondent to a seat, and continued
watching the features of the dyinc
man with silent interest. Presently
he arose and adjusted the curtains of
the window so that a flood of light fell
aslant the dying man. He wheeled
from the corner of the room what
looked like a photographer's camera,
arranged the lenses to a focus, and
then produced a large lens of some
twelve inches in diameter, and placed
it in grooves made to fit behind the
apparatus. The back part was then
covered with, a black cloth so as to ob
scure the light, and from time to time,
as the breathing of the man became
hravier, Mr. Holland made inspec
tions of the instrument.
At precisely 11:30 o'clock, a sudden
tremor passed through the bedy and he
had ceased to breathe. Mr. Holland
arose from the bedside and said in a
whisper: ,"
"Now is the timet'' ', o
Together, Mr. Holland and the cor
respondent passed their htads under
iho'Uock cltiandJleut"tlieir eyes" in'
tently upon the glass. Particles of
dust in the air were magnified thou
sands of tin.c-, ind for a time their
motion kept up a perfect dazzle upon
the glass.
Then, as the vapor gathers into
c'ouds, so an object appeared to be
forming a foot above the body upon
the bed. Particle seemed to seek par
tie'e, as by some mo'ecular attraction,
until an object was clearly distinguish
able. It seemed the vapory fcrm of a
man rapidly assuming a mo'e perfect
oil ape, as pure and colorless as the
delicate crystal. There was a moment
of awful stillness, and a feeling came
over me which 1 can never describe.
We bent our eves intently upon the
glass until, particle by partitle, the
shapely form of a man had formed,
and lay floating a foot above, moored
to the body by a slender cord of its
own formation. The face took the
shape of the dead man's, but was beau
tiful in expression; 'he eyes were
closed, and the new formed being
seemed, as it were, asleep.
Presently the cord that held it to
the clay parted, and a gentle tremor
passed through the beautiful form
beautiful, indeed, foreery limb was
of the most perfect mold, such as eartli
never beheld. The eyes of the spirit
opened and a ray of intelligence and
unspeakable joy passed over its face.

". .1 stepped from behind; the.darkened
- .j- . - tmjii-'
apparatus ana loosed toward the Ot
where I knew the form was standing;
but I beheld DOthing. Tho earth
reeled beneath me, I cried aloud and
fell fainting to the floor. When I
again became conscious, Mr. Holland
was bending over me; his face was of
an ashen paleness.
"I mistook your strength," he said;
"perhaps I should not have called you
here. We have seen natural causes
and effects. Death is but the beginn
ing of life. Be careful, though, to
whom you tell the story of this day;
the world is incredulous, and to that
is mainly due its Ignorance."
The "Pacific Printer" of the Bay
city says there are three printing
offices in San Francisco which are
owned by Chinese Only white men
are for the present emp'oyed in these
establishments, there being no China
men here who yet understand the
trade. That want will, no doubt,
soon be supplied. In China, native
printers, wholly ignorant of the Eng
lish language, frequently master the
ait of putting manuscript into type,
and do it almost as rapidly as white
compositors who know the meaning
of the words before them. Similarly,
American printers in this city occa
sionally set type for the Chinese
newspapers. The characters in the
manuscript and the answering types
are numbered to correspond. The
"Pacific Printer" states that the Chi
nese establishments are competing
job work with other offices. Printers
naturally fear that John will in time
capture their business. The moment
a white man finds a Chinese rval in
any branch of industry he is srized
with discouragement, for he knows
that he is engaged in a contest that
must inevitably end in his defeat.

5Iy Boy, Bo You. Smoke?
The United States Nauy annually
takes into its service a largu number
of apprentice boys, who are sent all
over the world and Uught to bo
thorough sailors. It has been the
policy of the government since the war
to educate the "blue jacket," upon the
principle that the more intelligent a
man is, the better sailor he is likely to
become. There is no lack of candi
dates forMhesa (ositions. Hundreds
of toys apply.but" many are rejected
because they cannot pass the physical
examination. Major Houston, one of
the marine corps who is in charge of
the Washington navy yard barrackx,
is the authority for the statement that
one-fifth of all the boys examined are
rejected on account of heart disease.
His first question to a boy who de
sires to enlist is: "Do you smoke?'
The invariable response is, "No, sir'
but the tell-tale discoloration of the
fingers at once shows the truth. The
surgeons say that cigarette smoking by
boys produces heart disease, and that
ninety nino cases out of a hundred the
rejection of would-be apprentices on
account of this defect comes from ex
cessive ute of the milder foim of this
weed. This is a remarkable state
ment, coming as it does from so high
an authority and based upon the re
sults of actual examinations going on
day after day, and month after month.
It should be s warning to parents that
the deadly cigarette is sure to bring
about incalculable injury to the young.
A law passed restricting its use to the
dudes would not, perhaps, bring pop
ular disfavor, because it mignt reduce
the number of these objects about our
streets, but boys indulging in the cig
J arette ought to be treated to liheral
doses ot "rod in pickle until the nablt
is thoroughly eradicated. "Scientific

gon, affectedwithariuostipeeuliar ail
ment, now lies at the house of a friend
on Valencia street. About two wteki
since the Oregonian, who is a wealthy
farmer, started for this city over
land. Arriving at Redding after
a rough ride in the boiling sun ha
stretched himself on a broad bench to
take a nap. In a half hour he awoko
to find himself terribly sick and wretch
ed. But the strangest thing, was that
he had lost all power of bis neck, po
that his head rolled from side to side,
and seemed to him to weigh a "hun
dred pounds. His tongue was so
thick when he attempted to speak only
an inarticulate sound was heard.
Thoroughly alarmed he thought, as ha
freely admits, that bis last hour had
come. People at th rude hotel sent
for a doctor. But while he restored
hid tongue and stomach to their nor
mal conditions, he could not unstiffcn
bis neck. Mr. Hanover lingered there
a day or two, and finding that he must
be doing something as his business
was urgent, came on here, being bol
stered in the car. He speedily con
sulted the best phsicians, butall are,
dazed at the disease and state that it
is some new freak of nature that med
ical skill till now has Dot had to con
tend with. Meantime Mr. Hanover's
head "rolls like a great round ball,"
as he expresses it, upon his shoulders.
What to do he does not know. Wheu
his wife arrived yesterday tearful an
to his condition, he smiled, assuring:
her he felt as well ai anybody, I lis
