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.

Hysiop, and I am not familiar with his

is that in framing his story he has pro

Washington, Dec. 12. 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

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

"Yes," he replied, "they tell us thit

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

"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

the lower limiting bar and remaining

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.

At about 8:10 o'clock last evening 24
women and 18 babies made a hurried
exit from the Florence Crittenton Home,
East Thirty-first and Ollsan streets, on
account of a fire scare given them by
the presence of the firemen aW the
warning of Matron Rix.
The alarm was caused by an Immense
amount of smoke Issuing- from the base
ment. On investigation by the firemen
a part of the wood stored there, amount
ing to some 25 cords, was found to be
on fire. Prompt measures prevented a
more serious fire and the flames were
extinguished without any more serious
damaga than a couple of holes burnt
through the pantry floor. All of the as
bestos covering burned off the furnace
pipes and a couple of lace curtains In
the dining room were torn down.
The excitement happened while the
young women were assembled In the
chapel for evening devotions. The
matron, after she had telephoned for the
fire department, notified the inmates to
move quietly and quickly from the
building, as she feared some danger for
their sarety. meiae or lb minutes an
