these ideas or most 01 tnem at least are sent gliramerins by the expose of the methods of the supposed thaumaturgists of the Orient most of whoe achievements are how proved to be merely the trickery of adept charlatans Mr Carrington until recently was assistant to Prof James Hyslop of the Society of Psychical Research of this city and has had a wide experience as an investigator of psychic phenomena of all kinds He recently returned from Italy where he examined intoHhe claims of the noted medium Eusapia Paladino and he has also made first hand studies of the work of SDlritualists This last volume Hindu Magic is gathered from his own experience and also from that of his father an Anglo Indian who made extensive studies of the methods of the fakirs of the far East The reply of the fakir to a question as to why he will not try the experiment with a tea plant or a palm ora banana tree is No sahib cannot do Mango tree the only one can make The reason for this choice lies in the fact that the leaves of the mango are quite easily manipulated and when rolled up they will gradually return to their original shape The mango seed to quote Mr Carrington that is placed in the piound of earth is especially prepared before the performance by the fakir He slits the seed open scoops out its contents dries it somewhat and then presses within a shoot folded and compressed so as to fit into the seed It must be remembered that the mango seed is no small thing but is two inches long or more by an inch to an inch and a half broad It resembles slightly the missel shell fuund on the seashore It would be obvious that a seed of this kind would contain a good deal of material and if the mango leaves were folded into small compass would hold a eood sized tree The leaves are loideci

spectators a seed which after solemn incantations the fakir buries in earth and waves a cloth over it In the twinkling of an eye he causes it to sprout to grow a plant and finally to evolve a tree which before the eyes of the assemblage is seen in rapid growth Inch by inch the plant is seen rising out of tho earth and unfolding its leaves in the light of clay The observer is certain that he has seen the laws of nature set at naught and many is the tale told In all slncerclty and wonderment of this remarkable sign of the power of the human will The traditional method of performing this trick

catchers could command were they in thei field to dayi One of the moat striking proofs of the superiority of the older catchers is ihe fact that some of them surviving years after their great contemporaries had given up the game were nevertheless able to shine superior to the youngsters and rank as first catchers of their teams through as many seasons as they Chose to play the game In some of these cases these monoliths of the game were catcher ivho had been counted only second class in the day of the great nuukmen when they were young and strong and yet in old age these see the shoot is worked out of the seed The faker permits the examination of only such seeds as he has not treated and he cleverly substitutes one of the prepared seeds for the one which has been handed to him by any of the spectators when the fakir has a comparatively large tree to grow out of the seed he must have an assistant to help him in the management of the cloth or shawl When he has worked out all his surplus stock of vitalizing influence or whatever it may be he makes a secret sign to hts aid who deftly substitutes a new shiwl in which is concealed a larger shoot The shawls are constantly shaken
