In lhehe spirit forms with the long
black queue of the Mongolians of to
day. Now the queue Is a compara
tively modern Institution. It came in
with the present Tartar dynasty, a
little over two hundred years ago, while
Confucius lived more than twenty-four
bundled years ago, or in the middle of
tne tlftli century H. ('., and Chine at a
far earlier period. The adoption of this
style of wearing the hair was the badge
of submission to the semi-barbaric Tar

It is tho opinion of some Japanese

to whom were attributed many mys
terious powers. He Is said to have
driven out his enemies In a chariot
equipped with a compass needle.
In the bookcase la an album contain
ing llfty or more spirit photographs
taken a scoro or more years ago. The
llgures are astonishingly clear, tho
bright eyes of women and the dark
beards of men looking out boldly from
their nebulous Investment of white.
Evidently good looks must be an In
variable gift lu the spirit world, for in
all there photographs every woman was
fair, every man handsome, ami every
child a cherub. Considering that so
many homely people die it Is rather
strange that their friend are able to
recognize some of them under the nat
tering conditions of their reappearance.
Among the photographs wao Dr.
Cliffy, holdliiu the band of "Katie," a
spirit; Miss Houghton In a dozen or
more vivid materializations. When
both she and Mrs. Cutty were present
they v. ere strong enough to bring a
spirit before the camera entirely alone.
Another striking picture Is that of Mr.
Homer and the spirit face of his "dou
ble." the features lu each being almost
Identical. The rplrlt of Mrs. Sherwood
came nut so clearly that It could be lec
ogaized, as did also that of Mr. Suth

Smith and Mr. Arbuthnnt, bring out

To the writer Mr. Ayer said In an In
