e slate in which every letter was written
in double marks, as if written with two different colored pencils,
although _no pencil was furnished_ or seen.

"Three small pieces of writing-pencil--green, red, and
white--were put upon the perfectly clean school slate, and
placed under the table as before, with this difference: that
G.'s left hand held the slate with Mr. Eglinton, his left
being above the table. The slate was now thoroughly rolled
about so as to completely displace the pieces of pencil from
their previous relations. G. asked aloud that 200 might be put
down in _red_; I called for 69 in _green_; and Mr. Eglinton
requested that they be added up in _white_. Upon examining the
slate, this was found correctly executed. I then took a book
at random from a case containing perhaps 300 or 400 volumes.
G. wrote down upon the school slate the number of a page, a
line, and of a word, which she desired to be transcribed. The
slate was turned over, and I placed the book, which had not
been opened, across it, resting upon the frame. Under the book
I placed a morsel of pencil. The slate, with the book upon it,
was then passed under and pressed against the table-top as
before. No one but G. was cognizant of what she had written,
and, of course, as the book was never out of my possession
from the time I took it from its fellows in the case until it
was placed with the slate under the table-top, there was no
possibility of its pages being scanned. The sound of writing
soon occurred, and upon its ceasing we examined the slate,
when we found 'P. 7, L. 18, W. 6, Llanwrst.' The other side of
the slate contained 'P. 7, L. 18, W. 6,' as written by G. I
now and for the first time opened the book, which was 'The
Irish Educational Guide and Scholastic Directory,' for 1883
and 1884, published by John Mara, 17 Crow Street, Dublin; and
upon turning to page 7, line 18, and word 6, the word there
printed was 'Llanwrst.'"

SPIRIT WRITING.--The world is full of spiritual phenomena which are
suppressed or concealed in consequence of the prejudices instilled
into all minds by education and perpetuated by the dogmatism of the
college, the pulpit, the press, and the votaries of Mammon. The _St.
Louis Globe_ gives a recent example, as follows:

"I have known of a great many astonishing things that I can
account for
