investigation of "Psychic Phenomena"
fn New England, Where Witches
Were Burned Bequest of
$10,000 for Research.
Cambridge. Harvard university has
seriously contracted to enter upon an
Investigation of what Is technically de
scribed as "psychic phenomena." but
which our parents (ever since the
days of the Fox sisters) called "spir
itualism," writes Julian Chambers.
ThlB, to my way of thinking Is one of
the most startling Innovations In peda
gogy that several centuries havo fur
nished. Indeed, it is an event that
could only havo followed tho coming
of the wonderful era of telephono, air
ships, rndlum wireless messages and
phonographs. It will" not do to treat
this Incident lightly or to cover It with
ridicule
Such is far from my thought when
I frankly declare that tho acceptance
Df a $10,000 endowment fund for psy
chic research by that time-honored
university at Cambrldgo encourages
tho hopo that Francis L. Wellmnn's
fond wish to found a school of draw
poker at Harvard may be ultimately
realized.
Seriously, however, comparatively
few as are believers In spiritualism,
tho acceptance of this bequest by so
conservative a body as tho trustees of
Harvard brings the study of psychic
phenomena to a stage never previous
ly attained in this country.
The language employed by the bene
factor Is quito explicit. He gives the
money which can only bo regarded

as the nucleus of a much largor fund
for "investigation and study of men
tal or psychological phenomena, the
origin or expression of which appears
to be independent of the ordinary sen
sory channels."
While- this leaves the range as wide
open tfs spookland, it also confines it
within scientific scope.
Plenty of persons have seen ghosts
or believe they have, which, for
practical purposes of "research," is
the same thing. For example, although
a complete disbeliever In so-called
spirit phenomena, I have seen with
my own eyes ghostly shapes not re
sultant from Welsh rabbits and disor
dered liver, but tho fabric of an ap
parently sound mentality.
Thcro are houses known to me that
havo supernatural occupants, as well
as human beings! Again, there are
bouses that harbor quaint, queer, in
explicable nolBes, by night and by day.
Personally, I doubt not, rational
and natural explanations can be
found for all such noises. I am not
sufficiently Interested curious were a
better wordto seek tho solution of
such problems of the natural world.
Tbero are phases of mental science
that are accepted. There Is probably
something in telepathy as every ono

person seated in church or theater to

CAKE MAKING.
Tho ovolutlon of cako making has
changed tho old, tedious procosB of
creaming butter, adding tho Bugar
gradually or creaming both together.
Now, a good cako may bo mado In
half tho tlmo It took to crenm tho
butter nnd bugar. Putting all tho In
gredients together as follows: Break
In tho eggs, add tho sugar, warmed
butter, a llttlo flour, then all of tho
milk, nnd Hour with tho bnklug pow
dor, tho beating coming nftor all tho
mixing Is done. Bent woll for fivo
minutes with n largo Dover egg beat
er, and turn into tho pan. Water may
bo used instond of milk, with scarcely
any difference- In tho quality of tho
cako. The butter must not bo molted
to destroy tho grain, but simply soft-
fencd enough so that it will bo readily
mixed.
Tho old-faBhloncd ono, two, threo,
four cako Is tho mother of all tho
butter cakes. Spongo cako Is tho
foundation for Jolly rolls, lndy fingers,
angel and sunshlno cakeu.
An even teaspoonful of baking pow
der to a cup of flour Is sufficient for
all cakes with eggs. An excess of
baking powder not only makes a
coarse-grained enko but ono which
drys out very quickly.
Tho shape in which the cake Is to
bo baked should decide tho amount
of flour to bo used. Layer cakes or
Bmnll cakes baked In gem pans re
quire lesa flour than loaf cakes.
Sunrise Cake. Tako a half cup of
butter, add a cup of sugar to tho
softoned butter, tho yolks of six eggs,
n llttlo of half n cup of milk, two cups
of flour, two teaspoonfulB of baking
powder. Mix nnd then stir in tho reBt
