Professor Lombroso, the I.alian phys icist. contributed to the Annules des Sciences Psychiques an account of two psychic phenomena which lie Investi gated purely iu the interests of mate rial sciejce. The article is eutitled “Huuuted Houses Which 1 Have Stud ied," aud the professor confessed that he set about his investigations with nothing to be desired iu the complete ness of bis skepticism. The phenomena iu question, how ever. proved to be beyond solution by any known laws of physical science. Frankly, the great criminologist ad mitted that for the first time in his life lie was in the presence of the in tangible aud that be was worsted in I his attempt to grapple with the unsub- ' stantial. “1 was asked in November, 1900, to investigate some strange occurrences which bad taken place at the house of [ Signor P.ivarino by way of Pescatorf. i Turin. One phenomenon I was asked I to explain was the mysterious over turning of cups and jugs, which were précipitaied to the ground by some unseen agency. "These occurrences were accompa nied by loud knockings on the walls and the pulling of bells in various parts of the house. The youngest daughter was awakened on several oc casions by blows aimed at her by some unseen hand, and her body on exami nation was found to lie covered with bruises, the result of severe pinchings. Her sister, who slept in the same bed, felt nothing aud was not disturbed in any way. “The clash of rapiers was heard iu the house at another time, accompa nied by cries of anger and groans of anguish. Lights were also seen pass ing to and fro in unlighted rooms. Au Alpine hat was continually moving about tlie room, and even when it was deliberately nailed to a chair an invia- ible hand precipitated it to the ground. All these mysterious happenings went on for eight months, and in regard to them I took the evidence of reliable persons, who testified that they bad been eyewitnesses of the phenomena. Even when the bell ropes were removed from the lielle the tinkling continued at all hours of the day and night.
