As a circumstantial ghost story and
one that stood the cold scrutiny of a
court of law Bootys case is without a
parallel The date given is KISS when
Mrs Booty brought an action for slan
der against one Captain Barnaby for
what he had said of her late husband
According to an extract from a jour
nal produced in court dated Friday
May ir 1US7 the captain on that day
went ashore with a large party of
friends to shoot rabbits upon j
II the idand off Italy which from its
ever burning crater is called the
lighthouse of the Mediterranean At
about orJO in the afternoon two men
were seen running toward the volcano
which was emitting tlames Captain
Barnaby then exclaimed Lord bless
me the foremost is old Booty my
next door neighbor They then van
ished in the tlames a fact of which
every one present took note
Upon Captain Barnaby s return to
England he learned that old Booty

THE LUMINOUS HALO
Psychic Explanation of an Oft Wit
tesseo Phenomenon
1 was summoned one day to the Salt
petnere in Paris to see a woman who
lay m a bed in tne dark She was u
woman whose body nerves brain had
beer teamed and tortured for years in
psychic and ocuit experiment What
mental perturbation na racking that
brain I did not know and the physi
cians at her bedside did not Know
With clinched hands aid teeth and
eyes open wide the woman iay there
Her breathing wa irregular and not
deep What we nw was this A lumi
nous ha to ot a vague orange hue that
circled her head even as in the old
pictures of martyred saints you see
the heads mooned with faded gold This
halo was tluctuant It came and went
It was a light that flickered grew
faded formed itself anew
A miracle tills aureoled head
If you want to call it that Words
are not of great importance It was n
miracle when it glowed around the
head of a martyr tortured in the arena
so tortured by pain and fear that his
dissociated psychic centers pndu ed
the phenomenon of the exteriorization
of luminous energy
Perhaps it were better to call it at
once a miracle and a presciontific fact
a fact that is which is occult but is
In the way of becoming known
1 asked Dr Frere what he thought
of this miracle
j I have often seen it he said The
1 field of his experiments was the uvil
house at Bicetre There many neuro
pathic patients abide and often in
cases of severe headache or of

A Peg Too Low
A tankard was made of precious
metals of pewter or of wood Among
the most ancient spe imens are the
peg tankards These are said to have
been introduced by St Dunstan as a
uee iuli u au cheek on tne intemperance of his day
Pegs marked the tankard at intervals
beyond which the drinker was not to
go else he had more than his com
rades But curiously enough this de
vice proved the means of aggravating
the evil it was intended to remedy for
as a refinement on St Dunstans sim
ple plan the most abstemious drinkers
were required when the tankard went
round to drink precisely to a per
i cated whether their heads could stand
the amount of sivh distempering
i draft or not Thence comes the
phrase lie is a peg too low London
