SPIRIT SECRETS. How the Gostly Hands are Made to Slow. “Its me honest belare that the mon has a bargain wutli the Divil ” A short, redheaded Irishman stood on the corner .of Eighth and Walnut streets on yesterday afternoon, talking very earnestly to a nervous-look-ing voutli with thin legs and a white necktie. The Irishman was seemingly endeavoring to convince his companion that the infernal regions, or at least an agent for them, were in the immediate vicinity. He said with some emphasis that he had just passed through a frightful experience in the second story of No. 140 South Eighth street, and declared with the gravest manner possible, that he had, barely escaped being seized by the fiery hand of the Evil One himself. He wanted theyoung man to investigate. “Go you up there,” said he. “til the front room on the second flure: an’ see 'ar it’s not right I am.” The youth appeared disinclined at first to make the venture, but finally mustered up sufficient courage, and blundered up the dark stairway. He found the room easily enough, and rapped smartly on the door. Receiving no lesponse he rapped again, and then made bold to turn the knob and enter. As he took a step forward, a draught of air blew the door to and latchedit. Although it was broad daylight outside, the room was in a state of semi-darkness. The first thing the young Man saw nearly took his breath away. A huge human aand with the index finger outstretched, was floating about in midhir. It glowed with a strange weird light, and to the frightened senses of the youth, seemed to give of! a sulphurous odor. He turned to retreat and as he did so, his eyes met another obiect above the door, which nearly made hta tongue cling to the roof of his mouth. A grinning skull sat there. It, too, had the same luminous glow as the hand. The hollow eyes seemed to pierce his very soul, and made him start back in affright. Then he saw that he was smrounded by hundreds of objects, all giving forth the same ghostly light. Crucifixes and images of the saints, and busts of men and women acre in every nook and corner of the room. The young man felt his knees growing weak and his hands tiembliug. He made one desperate effort to reach the door, and as lie did so it ofiened and a pleasant-faced man of about forty years came in. He appealed very much astonished st finding a stranger in the room, and afterthrowing open the shutterasked thefriglitened visitor what was the matter. As a flood of sunlight streamed into the room the young man looked up and began to long about him. The violet colored flame had disappeared completely. There were the crucifixes and images still in their plac • s ' and the skull above the do r, but eV erything was white. “I see now,” said the gentleman, as he brought forward a eb air. “Your imagination must have gotten the better of you. Sit down and let me explain.”

The young man took the chair timidly, half expecting to see horns, hoof and tail oud forth from the speaker, who produced a card which read” ——A , compounding ehemirts; office Ny. 140 South Eightli street.” “That,” said he, “will show you that this is not the Devil’s workshop, but simply a chemical lai-oratory. Everything you see in this room is eoated with what is known as Humin ous paint,’ a preparation that causes any object with which it is covered to become luminous in the dark. It is not a new invention by any means but has been known for centuries. The statue of the Virgin in the Strasbourg Cathedral was painted with it in 1681, by M. Von Stoltz, of Munich, and it frightened the people so much that the painter and his compound were both anaihmatized. Professor Cerqui, ail eminent French chemist, brought the paint to its greatest perfection in later days, and it is known now as ‘C'erqui’s Luminous Paint.” “I could tell you some amusing experiences about it,” continued the gentleman, “something similar to your own experience. I have painted numerous plaster of Paris hands with it for spiritualistic mediums to produce the wonderful materializations. Magicians have long sought the secret of its manufacture to produce wonderful effects, but practically it is intended for painting buoys, liouse-numbers and other things necessary to be seen at night as well as in the daylight. “I thought once it would be a good idea to paint crosses with the stuff and sell them. I advertised for Catholic canvassers, and received an-wers from half a dozen applicants. One of them asked to see what I hud. and I took him into adark room, and showed him a luminous image of the Virgin Mary. He gave a yell, and went down stairs in three leaps. I never saw him again. Another came, and I showed him the same thing. He recused me of being in league with the devil and refused to have anything to do with me. A friend suggested making plaster-of-Paris hand, like that one hanging from a thread, and having it painted. I did so, and he took it home. The result was that his wife was frightened into convulsions. An acquaintance of the same man came to me slightly intoxicated one day and insisted on hav ing his nose painted. I gave him enough of the compound for the purpose, and the next day he applied it. All the female servants in the hotel where he boarded left In a body ; they were so much frightened. There are numerous other uses to which it has been and can be put, but you can see that a little explanation takes away a good deal of the supernatural.” and the young man, with his confidence tully restored, went away satisfied. — Philadelphia Times.

An Exciting (’lrens Scene. An a'armlng occurrence took place at Runcorn on Monday afternoon by which several persons were seriously injured and many more narrowly escaped injury. Messrs. Sanger & Ton, who were exhibitingin the (own, had announced a procession in connection with their great hippodrome, and from 12 to 1 o’clock, although rain was falling very heavily, large crowds of people began to assemble iu the Market square, Bridge street and the wide space in front of the town hail and the public offices. To one very large car forty horses had been harnessed, to be driven through the town by one man. This was drawn up wailing for the start almost opposite the Guardi in office, while higher up Bridge street stood twelve ponies F irnessed to a smaller ear. Near the town hall stood two other cars, and as 1 o’clock approached and the rain showed signs of abating, the procession was expected very shortly to form and make the circuit of the town. Suddenly ~ among the horses standing near to the shop of Messrs. Handley A Co , there was » great commotion, and loua shouts were heard to “Clear the road.” The twelve ponies had taken fright and were rushing down Bridge street towards the fountain. There was no one in charge, and it was evident that some very serious accident would result from the panic which seemed to I ave seized the horses. To make matters worse, the forty horses became frightened and, with the ponderous car behind them, joined the ponies in their gaUop. Many persons sought refuge in the shops and doorways. Those who were not fortunate enough Io reach this shelter were trampled upon and rushed, and the scene was one of the wildest excitement. At one moment ieeemed as though the great colos-

sal car would be overturned among the struggling crowd, while the next the plate glass windows in the shops on the south side of the street were within an inch of being smashed. The scene was not of long duration, hut it lasted long enough to injure at least ten people and imperil the safety of hundreds more. When nearing the Commissioners’ offices several constables who were in the courtroom, hearing the noise outside, rushed in’o the street and were just in time to seize the ponies by the heads and turn them down Mersey street before they reached the Royal Hotel. The hoises, through the courageous exertions of the police and some of Messrs Sanger & Son’s drivers, were brought to a standstill opposite the Roval Hotel. It is hard to obtain precise information regarding the cau.e of the accident. That it arose through the ponies taking fright there is no doubt, hut it is difficult to ascertain by what they were at first started. It is stated that the drivers had sought shelter from the rain, and that one of the ponies knocked down s ladder that was reared against Messrs. Handley A B ek’s shop, and, being startled, shied, and the rest of the animals began to run. Others say that a.number of boys were anno. ing the ponies by pulling their tails, which caused them to bolt. — London Era.
