Surgeon's Experiment Raises Interesting Question fr. Jraong Scientist^ . Btltavn HE Hm Provided Pssf* for Far-Reaetiing BMogieil Research--Etheric Double off ' Amputated Member Pictured. San Francisco.--The teapot announcement by Dr. P. 8. Haley, local aorgeon, that he bus photographed the etheric ddubte of a man's thumb, which had been cut off at the Joint, has aroused an Interesting scientific discussion. Scientists say Doctor Haley's aperSmeut raises the question of whether man posseeaea within himself dormant energy to reproduce parts of himself, such as ah arm or let, whan lM loses them. Doctor Haley does not profess that his experiment proves such a theory, but declares that he believes he has provided the basis for far-reaching biological research. likewise he Insists his experiment in no wise is of a "spiritualistic" nature. "My own contribution Is simply to show by photography that cryBtallsation of energy exists. "Scientists may go much further and possibly In time demonstrate that such crystallization of energy may be made permanent In-, stead of momentary, such as my I^iotographs show," Doctor Haley said. "Likewise It may prove that 'ghosts' are not supernatural, but simply a natural and material compound of externalised energy. It Is certain that some animals see things not visible to human eyeii. Likewise certain persons are psychically sensitive to things which others are not. There is a great field for investigation opened by my experiment." Thumb Off; Felt Pain. Doctor Haley's subject in his Interesting test was a woodworker who had lost his thumb. The woodworker believed himself« conscious to pain when a pin was Inserted where the thumb once was. For the experiment the stump was placed on highly sensitised paper in a photographic solution. Four Impressions wpre taken ranging in time from ooe-half to a minute and a half. , "My theory is that the etheric double remains attached to the member, and, under Influence of will power and with the aid of other factors possibly not understood, the body energy radiates from the point where the stump Is, filling in the etheric doable," said Doctor Haley, Illustrating with one of the photographs. "In such an event as the photographs show the etheric double acts as a "blue print,"* continued the doetor. "Exteraallsatlon of energy la a fact that has been known for years and which fact I took Into consideration in my work. Ifcfredlty exactly •zkLsbpaft aloor'jpy Intention what facts I have over to the University of California or the California Academy of Science for further consideration, if they care for them. "The value of my dlfecovery will be a possible diagnostic factor In neurology and a contribution to biological knowledge, I believe," said Doctor Haley, when asked what bis findings might be used for. "The 'etheric double' is not spiritualistic, but, as I say, biological and, aided by the power of the human body and psychic mecfeanlsm effects on the body, It may b« applied to medicine*, It Is my firm belief that a system of medical diagnosis may eventually be founded on the theory,*^ tha docfcoi concluded. Doctor Haley said he had working on bis latest experiment but one month.

Mr. Naulty said the plans call for the use of only one airplane and a party of four, which would Include himself and three experienced pilots, all ex-service flyers, and that his son, Leslie Fairfax Naulty, is going to Europe to take care of plans for continuation of the flight from North Cape via the Scandinavian papltals, to London.

The distance from Poipt Barrow to the pole Is 1,200 nautical miles, and it is the plan th$t the first stop will be made half way. The second stop is to be made at the north pole or as near as there Is a landing. The route will then be to Spitsbergen, landing west of Andrae Point. From Spitsbergen, the fourth leg of the flight calls for a landing at Bear J ^ i Cape, Norway. Ogtf-tfi* Plane to Go. Mr. Najulty said that only one plana would be used. The complete roots will be from Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska*; Ketchikan to Anchorage, Anchorage to Nome, Nome to Point Barrow, and thence across the polar regions to North Cape, Norway, and thence by taxi flights via Chrlstiania and Stockholm to Londou. From Point Barrow across the pola to Spltzbergen, a distance of 1,800 nautical miles, will be regarded as the transpolar flight From Point Barrow to North Cape, a distance of 2.40M miles, will be regarded as the trans- Arctic flight Mr. Naulty said he had been convinced by years of study of data of ocean.

His Chef Declares That Marshal Devoured Enough for Three Men as He Won Victory. Paris, France.--The latest war iniscences to be printed are those of the chef who presided over the destinies of the French general staff during the battle of the Marne and who prepared the simple but abundant menu that Marshal, then General, Joffre sat down to at very irregular hours. If the chefs culinary accomplishments were not superior to his literary talent, one pities poor General Joffre, and it must have been a relief to the commander in chief to leave the mess table and return to the batt l e u s e e • - , £ 4 i. " r / .:v, • - " i i i, "During the battle of the Marne," says the chef, "the general put away enough food to feed three ordinary men." ^ •. " •; ., Then he adds naively: * "I hope monsieur le marefflal wonf mind what I say about the general." One of the most amusing incidents related by the chef Is that on Sep* tember 12, when it became clear that the enemy was in full flight northward and that the battle was won, congratulations were in order, and he received Instructions that the mena for the dinner should be as much of a banquet as his raw material would permit ' , Just as the meal was about to be completed a British automobile came up to headquarters with a basket of champagne as a token of congrati* lation to the French staff. It came from a British unit "in liaison." The chef was just getting ready to serve It when he noted that the bottles bort • a German mark, and he informed the ' ' : officer of the fact. That woMiy^fiprbade him to serve the champagne to the staff, and ordered him to throw the bottles away. "We did," says the chef, "but oniy the next morning they were empty.* ' Took Honey From Hives; ' Bees Put It Back Again Some months ago. Wallace Lanning, a beekeeper of Milford, N. J., took over 100 pounds of honey from his apiaries and Stored the honey In the garret of his home. When he went to the garret, a few days ago, to get some of the honey, all he found was the empty comb and frames, all the honey being gone. ...investigation revealed that the bees had entered the garret through a knot hole and had carried the honey back into their hives. All of the Paris dressmakers are now very busy on automobile and sport coats, writes a fashion correspondent The Parisienne is going in for sports as never before. Goif clubs near Paris are the center of great social activity. 1a Boulie, which is Gear Versailles, and St Cloud, so nearParis, are dally rendezvous for the smart set Chantflly and Fontalnebleau, both of which have Interesting golf courses, §re .favorite resorts Tor week-ends, owa thus the sport coat has come to be an essential part of the Frenchwoman's wardrobe. Consequently designers have given it. much attention. Dressmakers who had the forethought to anticipate this demand are now reaping a harvest. Madeleine et .Madeleine are going especially well with their models, "Dans le Train" and "Sport" Both of these are eminently suitable for the Motor Coat of Novelty Fabric in Vivid Green Wool With Strides and Tiny Pin Dots In Black. naes which their names imjply. Both are developed in very smart looking tissues from Rodler, who has the best novelties woven In the loudest of patterns and yet conforming to good taste and refinement. They are most characteristic of this great French manufacturer. ' Vivid Colorings In Sport Coats. V The features of these new coats which impress one most forcibly are the colors and bold designs of the fabrics^ The materials themselves make such a strong appeal and are so suggestive of out-of-doors that few women can resist them. The colors are wery gay. There Is a strong tendency toward black and red combinations-- the dull* rusty reds enlivened here and there with a brighter shade of the same color, sometimes running into scarlet. One can Imagine nothing more enchanting than the warm yellows, vivid greens and the lovely cool grays of these fabrics broken with stripes and borders in black woven at Just the right Intervals to produce a striking effect The clever manner in which dressmakers and tailors are handling these bold-patterned novelties plays no small part in the successful vogue of coats made from them. In outline the coats show little Jftat is new. They are all very slender, f >. unusually so for this type of wrap., There are many capes but even theae are of the straight variety and not a all ample. The Russian blouse style' is In evidence, although a bit unusual for a motor or traveling coat New Neckline Treatment in Coats. Since the outside is so gay, linings, by way of contrast, ars somewhat somber. Blsck crepe de chine frequently is used for this purpose, or the dullest shade of the plaid Is selected. In most instances sleeves are long and flowing, dell sleeves may In turn have hell cuffs, perhaps double cuffs of this sort. Madeleine et Madeleine cannot resist introducing their very low waistline even in coats. In the model, "Dans le Train" Inverted box plaits are the method by which this, pronouncedly low waistline Is defined. Collars are high, although the shawl collar also Is used. The high collars all spring from a low base. That Is, the neckline Is considerably cut out so that the collar starts far out on the shoulders and comes up In a muffling sort of way about th< ears. With materials shbwlng so much action In the way of <}ejrt£T)h little* trimming Is needed, but still setj> fringes used, although they are ap* plied In new ways, being In llttlQ patches or clusters rather than irf? rows.

W selling very successfully at the pres-, ent time his model Vailed "Tlppera£ y," English as to Its name, although made of a French fabric interwoven with all the soul-stirring bars of the Scottish clans. The model hangs straight front and back, with what little fullness there is massed on the hips just at the point Where the sleeves Join the body of the coat The collar Is straight and muffling. The sleeves are bell shaped. Agnes has a successful model called Paillasse, also developed ih a plaid wool tissue. It is In Russian blouse style and also has the high collar and large bell sleeves. A fancy Rodler material woven and embroidered In green and yellow plaid was chosen for It. The same maker has brought out a coat of a slightly more dressy type made of blue repp and trimmed with elaborate embroideries, facings of white broadcloth and a black silk fringe, which latter falls from the sleeve motifs and edges the ends of the girdle. Plaids and Profuse Patterns. Black and black and whlti co&frblnaticns are still very popular, al* though no longer exclusive. Heavjf crepe Marocaln continues to be muclt In evidence for the wrap and the craze for the cape coat or mantle^ usually In black, made on the simplest possible lines, often with emif bfoldery in self-tone, still continues* There is also a continued use of black monkey fur as a trimming. These silk and lightweight cloth coats, although simple enough for the daytime, are sufficiently dressy for Informal ev»- ntnc wear. / *: 1 AFTER MEAL Many Smart Styles Are Imported UNEARTH GIANT WITH HORNS SPORTING MAN OF JAPAN Peinft*4 Body Found by Tllineifs l« Six Pest fair Inches Long. Knoxville, Teun.--Workmen of the Keene-Strank Coal company at Helenwood, Scott county, have found buried In the earth and petrified, a giant ft feet 4 inches tall.

On •fther side of its head are two horns;, each about four inches in length. Its weight is about 450 pounds. It is cm exhibition in Helenwood, where it is hging visited by thousands.

An unusually smart One by Premet Is of gray, brick and bright red plaid wool. Bride color and bright red are an unusual combination. Onevftiight Judge from reading about it that the/doth has an extremely bizarre appearance. But not so. The brlel4and gray are merely brightened fiere and there with touches of bright red blended In a well-thought out way to make a fabric very much out of the ordinary. The cape is straight with slit armholes and a long, straight collar which crosses to one side and fastens with a larfee composition button showing the same artistic blending of gray, red and brick col oh There is a fad of the moment for a tiny automobile parasol to accompany the motor. coat The silk top of these sunshades is net over twelve inches deep. The handles show lifelike heads of the Normandy peasant* hand carved in wood and painted in colors. White-faced Pierrot with big back ruff, too, is here. A new silk known as Truhu,, now being fashioned into undergarments, Is heavier than crepe de chine and lends Itself admirably to the tailored type of garment which Is fast taking hold In feminine wear. --y ^ t^ Cars of Finger Nalla, ' V*:' «• .»?•'?>'.* If your finger tips are rounded yon should file your nails so that they are Just a trifle more curved than your finger tips. This will tend to make them look graceful. The claw-like nail, although fashionable vrlth many women who prefer following general fashion tendencies without regard to the Individual shape of their fingers, is far from beautiful. Very oft«n when this style is affected the nail Is filed so closely down the sides of the finger tip that the underneath cuticle is Quite apparent. This type of nail cutting should be reserved exclusively for the won»an who has a triangularly-pointed finger. THE NEWEST THINGS IN HOSIERY English Authorities on Dress Give It a Mew Lease on Life--Approved for Most Occasions. London.--A report that the dinner Jacket wad doomed has for some dale worried men in London who conform to the decrees of the styles makers. IjJut the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian comes along with the good news that It is the correct thing and that It Is here to stay, the best authorities on dress asserting that, except when ladies are in the party, the dinner Jacket with a( black tie will continue to be worn at the smartest theaters, and also will continue to be generally worn In the best clubs. While there has been a strong revival In "dressiness" In London recently, the fact is obvious that It was a long time ago and in another sort of a world when King Edward remarked to a young man who appeared In the Marlborough club one night In evenjng wear besides a dinner Jacket: "Are yon going to* ^ match Hie thara !• sjthysts are popular, fancv dress ball bnUbti* Stocking of Chiffon Trimmed With Open Work Design, One of the Favored Fashions. % ---- One ot the newest* things -la the hosiery world is the stocking of chiffon trimmed with an open work design. The drop stitch stocking, it is said. Is not in sucii demand as it was a few months ago. For sport wear a heavy ribbed hose in wool is excellent. For the woman who cannot wear this ticklish weave, a silk and wool mixture is shown. Another way In which this difficulty may be overcome is to wear two pairs of hose, the inner pair beiiig of thin silk, while the outer one is of the wool. The favorite shades for sport wear are brown, dark blue and black. Speaking of colors, a very dark brown called African is now considered as staple a color as black. For the stockings strong demand for gold and sliver, partly because these colors are used so macb for the. slippers themselves. Pretty and Practical. Durable and' inexpensive porch cushions can be made of carpet rags. Prepare the rags as for rugs. Take a rug that is about 22 Inches wide and 90 Inches long (without the fringe), fold double and tie the fringe, making a cushion 22 by 18 Inches. Insert pillow and sew up with carpet warp.

Jtrtfgttrg from reports from flrugglsti Who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that baa been xpry successful in overcoming these conditiona. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is toon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in sn interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why »o many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is .so common to the American people, and the large majority of thoee whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
