' ": SSte; L' ill I ls - MIS I f 'i New Tork. Pec. 12 Dr. James H. Hysiop of 619 West One Hundred and Firty-nlnth street, secretary of the American Society for Psychical Re search, was asked, last evening for hla opinion of the value of the theory of J. ?,a"er death propounded by Fournler d Albe, secretary of the Dublin Society for Psychical Research, which was de scribed in the Times yesterday In a special cable from London. D Aloe's theory, In brief, is that the soul is composed of "psychromeres." or soul particles, and that It has weight: that means may be devised by which it can be seen; that the "soul body" Is engaged in cultivating the higher virtues of Justice, kindness and sympathy, and that the souls of those who have died in the last 30.000 ;-ers Inhabit the atmos Pe.re; e al" expressed the opinion that in time there m-h. be a further transformation of souls, so that, united in a cosmic whole, they would occupy the interplanetary space.

T. B. ; Walker, the largest timber land bolder In Min nesota and the holder of hundreds of thousands of acres of white pine lands In northern California, Is In Washington taking the initial steps In what looks to be an amalgamation into a cooperative association of all the timbered lauds in this country, Canada and Mexico. Mr, Walker denies that' his scheme has any thing to do with a reported merger with the Weyerhaeuser Interests of St. Paul, though that merger, would form, he ad mits, a logical beginning for the more general scheme of combination. Within the last few days there has been a meeting here of Mr. Walker and Mr. McCormlck, who . represents .til Weyerhaeuser Interests on the Pacific, and General Manager Hines. who looks after the more eastern properties of the Weyerhaeusers. For a number of years, said Mr. Walker, there has been talk on the. part oflnslde interests of pro motlng'ihe merger of the two concerns already owning more than a million aores.of timbered lunds In Minnesota, juanu, Wisconsin, vregon ana Cali fornia. Under the present tariff protection, however, Mr. Walker declares he al ways has refused to become a party to any merger. But the possibility of a lowering of the duty on lumber makes him feel the necessity for a general combination to which the government shall be at least an interested spec tator, If not -a real partner. Mr. Walker says his aim Is to avoid the necessity of cutting down the for ests he holds and that are held by other persons in this country. But if the tariff walls are to be lowered there must be some check put on cutting- In Canada and Mexico. That check i; best guaranteed by acquiring the Canada and Mexican forests. Then the tariff walls can be thrown dowrv and the Am the category of matter when our scien tific knowledge shall have been devel present mr8 exten8lvely than at h.l!0,e i th!ns; ls certain: If the soul TW- lt wlu always be a diffi cult problem to weigh It on account of deahSa8e" body escaPin t D.u Hy'oP was asked if the spirits or those who had communicated with him through mediums or phychics after death had Informed him of their habit ual abiding places.1' His Only Words. "Yes," he replied, "they tell us thit they are all abnnt m. t win they can go elsewhere with great rapid ity, i. asked one his means of locomo tion, and he replied by 'thought trans ference, which I do not believe at all. 1 ,bL'!?ve tnat those were the only word within the grasp or meaning of the psychio by which the spirit soul could approx mately express his meaning." Continuing, Dr. Hysiop said that, in the opinion of some investigators, the soul is of a substance of the consist ency of the ether of Interplanetary pace. "Ether," he said, "has no gravity. It Is continuous and is not capable of ex isting in separate masses. It is now be lieved by some scientists that ether waves are responsible -for the rapid movements of heat, light, and elec tricity. If souls are composed of a material of the consistency of ether, the wave motion theory might account for the rapidity of their movements." Dr; Hysiop referred the reporter to the experiments of Dr. Duncan Mac Dougall. a physician, in his endeavor to determine whether or not the soul is ponderable.-' There--were Tenons American Medicine .and In the. Journal ii me American society ror Psychical Research,,. Dr. MacDougall proceeded on the hypothesis that "lt Is unthinkable that personality and consciousness con tinuing, personal identity should exist, and have being, and yet not occupy space." Here is Dr. MacDougall's account of his first experiment: "My first subject was a man dying of tuberculosis. It seemed to me best to select a patient dying with a disease that produces great exhaustion, the death occurring with little or no mus cular movement, because in such a esse me Deani could te Kept more per fectly at balance, and any loss occur ring reaauy noieu. "The patient was under observation for three hours and 40 minutes be fore death, lying on a bed arranged on a light framework built upon very deli cately balanced platform beam scales. The patient's comfort was looked after In every way. although he was practi cally moribund when placed upon the lied. He lost weight slowly at the rate of one ounce per hour, due to evapora tion of moisture In respiration and evaporation of sweat. During -all three hours and- forty minutes I kept the beam end sllghy above balance near the upper limiting i oar in oraer to mane uie lest mors de cisive if it should come "At the end of three hours and forty minutes epirja,, ana suaaeniy, aoin cldent with death, the beam end drODDed with an audible stroke, hitting against the lower limiting bar and remaining mere wun no reoouna. i ne loss was ascertained to be three fourths of an ounce. Subsequent experiments gave similar results, the weights varying from three eighths or an ounce to a little more than an ounce and a half. capacity, will be masters of the situa tion. Mr. Walker's affair with the govern ment just now Is to And some way for towering tne taxation levied by local governments on forests left standing. That taxation, he said, forced him against nis will to strip absolutely all his lands In Wisconsin in order to avoid having his property eaten up- by taxes. To prevent the deforestation of the land, he says, lt is necessary to have a sup ply of timber that would last through ao years Deiore Beginning to t;ut it. In that way,, with Intelligent reforestation, the cutting could continue In a wide circle and find the beginning heavily reforested when the circuit is com pleted, Such a system requires absolutely mat tne timoer ne under one manage ment. This solidarity of management, according to Mr. Walker's tentative rlan, would be achieved by taking on lmbered lands held In smaller tracts and paying for thorn with bonds, com mon or preferred stock, and letting the profits go to dividends and interests. Already, he said, his holdings, particu larly on the Paetftcr coast, are large enough for him to begin this 80 year system with three large mills at a. time, and if lt were not for local taxation on standing timber he would be able to run his mills at a profit that would make a fair return on the whole estate of tome. think like a third of a million acres.
