Maid Astounds Men of Science

Rumanian Peasant Girl Is Said to Be Possessed of the Devil. London.—" The devil has come with tne to London. The devil is very pleased to come to London, for he hopes to find plenty to do here. ’ Ardent reformers and religious propagandists have before now expressed the idea that the devil is a regular resident In London (and most other big cities), .but the one referred to above by thirteen-year-old Eleonore Z.’icnn would seem to t>e a Rumanian devil, and. so far. London s m< rals d«» not seem to have suffered greatly from the Invasion. lint this Rumanian devil Is greatly exercising students of psychical research and a special committee of doctors and scientists will keep Eleonore under dose observation for the next month or so. in order to study lt< manifestations, classify the phenomenon and. If possible, banish the devil to the underworld. For Fie'bote who Is an Ignorant peasant girt, looking much younger than her thirteen years and having the mentality of a child of eight, has proved a puzzle to the scientists and psychic experts of Europe for over a year. The girl believes she is devilpossessed. nnd the “possession” takes two distinct forms—that of "poltergeist" (or noisy devils}. In which articles fly about the room in which she happens to l»e and disappear and reappear in bewildering fashion, and that of “stlgwatlc” origin. In which great weals. bites, bruises and scratches appear on her skin without apparent cause. Studied by Scientist*. It was Countess Zoe WassllkoSerecki. well-known psychic enthusiast. who brought Eleonore to London after studying her In Rumania and in Vienna, and the scene of the proposed month’s survey is the National Laboratory of Psychical Research, r South Kensington. It should be said at once that the National Laboratory of Psvchical Research Is under the direction of Harry Price, an amateur conjuring expert, who Is not at all likely to he deceived by any ordinary "magical” effects, for he knows how they are done. “I think I know most of the Tricks of the trade.*" Sahl Price, referring, of course, solely to the conjuring art, '“but here at the National Mltoratory of psychical Research we have no bias one way or the other. Our object Is to study these phenomena and discover. If ixtssible. their cause. We are not spiritualists, neither have we anv prejudice against spiritualism. Like other scientists we want to find out the laws that govern these things. “As regards Eleonore Zugun. while she is here she will be kept under strict observation nnd we shall merely report what we see and learn. I have already kept the girl under observation for three days at Vienna, and the most extraordinary thing which happened was this: A stiletto flew across the room and stuck Itself with a thud Into the door. I was in the room and Conn teas WasstllkoSereckl and Eleonore were standing together trying to fit the tiro halvesof a broken ball together. The stiletto came from a table on the other side of the room, but although I searched the room thoroughly I could find no canse for the phenomenon.” Since her arrival at the South Kensington laboratory. Eleonore has been freely visited by newspaper reporters. but very little has happened. Some of the phenomena put down

SERVANTS WAGES OF $3 A WEEK RUN UP TO SBO,OOO

Aged Woman Seeks to Recover Salary Which Was Placed at Compound Interest. Jefferson City, Mo.—From court to court, from contracts to wills and to contracts attain, goes the Unusual “life wages” case of Sarah Duncan. Now an application for a writ prohibiting Judge Park of the De Kalb county bench from continuing jurisdiction In the case pends before the Supreme court. Sarah Duncan Is an aged negro. For 60 years she was a servant In the family of H. Clay Duncan, farmer of Osborne. Mo., who died 18 months ago. In his will was a cash bequest of 81.500 to Sarah, and provision for a trust fund of $2,500 for her old age. Several months after her master's death. Sarah's lawyers filed suit to recover 880.000 life wages from the Dun can estate. There had been contracts

A toneless breathy voice gives a preliminary sigh, folloafed by a few words in the Rumanian language. The girl has felt herself touched by a large cold hand, and seems to have a premonition of these “visits.” Lump sugar from nowhere falls upon her. All kinds of articles fly suddenly about the room, ami Eleonore has never been detected in having any part in their movement. Her necklace broke suddenly at two points one day, and the coral beads were scattered over the room. While the girl was gathering these in one corner of the room, more beads fell in another corner. * A skein of blue yarn disappeared

Pay-Roll Raids Net Four Million

Twenty Persons Killed and Forty Wounded in Defending Cash. New York.—So far this year, payroll b;in<l!ts in the United States took a total of $4,000,000. according to an estimate announced by the forgery prevention bureau. The number of pay-roll robberies reported for that period, it was estimated, would total more than 400, based on available newspaper reports of crimes of this kind, and It Is believed these reports include less than 75 per cent of tire robberies actually committed. The estimate of a year’s total of pay-roll robberies was made by a manufacturing corporation in this state, that, in October, 1925, began to keep a record of pay-roll holdups reported in newspapers throughout the country. Although special efforts were made to obtain clippings on all crimes of this character, the corporation oflh’ers do not believe their records are more than 75 per cent complete. 205 Robberies In Six Months. For the first six months the number of pay-roll robberies reported in newspaper clippings totaled 205, and the amount of cash taken by the highwaymen in these holdups was $1,856,874. Twenty persons were killed and forty wounded In defending the money in their charge. Analysis of the reports showed that pay-roll haldups have been notably frequent, daring and heavy In their toll of cash In New York city. California. St. Louis and East St. Louts. Chicago. Detroit and Newark. N. J. In the last named state the deaths In par-roll holdups have amounted to nt least a doxen. the operations of the bandits culminating in rhe desperate attack of October 14 on a mail truck In Elisabeth, in which the driver of the truck was killed, a police guard hadly wounded, and $300,000 taken by the robbers.

The wages were to be kept by her master, and Invested by him for her. at 6 per cent Interest, compounded annually. When she was eighteen, continued the petition, a new agreement increasing the wages to S3JO weekly was made, that money also to be invested. For 52 years this arrangement continued; it la alleged.

Meanwhile Eleonore’s most noticeable trait is her enormous appetite She eats three times as much as the ordinary girl of her age, or physique. She thinks nothing of eating half a loaf of bread with a substantial breakfast. She.’ herself, puts down the phe nomena to her “dracu” (or devil), as she calls him in Rumanian.

master General Harry S. New to appeal to large business houses to pay employees by check instead of cash, to eliminate the huge shipments of currency which offer the principal bait to mail robbers. Steer Clear of Cash In Transit. Further analysis of the reports showed that 51 per cent of the robberies were committed after the cash was delivered to employers for pay-roll purposes, while 49 per cent were committed on the streets, while the cash was in transit. The deduction made from this was that the armored car and heavily armed guards have caused a drift fron. the open attack on pay-roll cash In the streets in favor of the attack in the office after the cash has been delivered. Postmaster General New’s appeal for pay-roll payments by check has been anticipated by many of the greatest corporations In the country that long ago adopted the system. The American Management association recently Investigated the operations of the system and reported that, aside from its unquestioned advantage of protecting both the cash and its guardians. other prime considerations In its favor were the numerous economies effected tn office administration and insurance costs and its value as a promoter of thrift. 200 Cannibals Attack Party Led by Americans Batavia.

While the Dyaks were obliged to return to the base, it appears from the meager advices received here that there were no casualties. Later the party made another start without molestation. The American-Dutch expedition is headed by Prof. Matthew W. Stirling, anthropologist of the University <jf California, and Dr. Van Leeuweu. Dutch scientist.

fhg Engineering Feat Performed Long Ago Big structures such as belfry towers were moved about in Crescentino. Italy, 150 yeais ago. The city is now celebrating the sesquicentennial of Crescentino Serra, an illiterate workman, who moved the huge cathedral bell-tower ten feet In 1776. Serra, knowing nothing about mathematics or engineering, performed the feat in less than two hours. So sure was he as to the success of his undertaking that he placed his son on the steeple ringing the bells as it was being moved, while the crowd of excited and cheering onlookers feared ’that the structure would full any moment. In principle, there was no difference in Serra’s method and the method used today A bridge of beams was built under the structure, while eight ropes ar.J windlasses were used to drag the belfry along the bridge tolls new site. Serra did all his figuring mentally and intuitively. Sixty lire in gold, or sl2, was all he demanded as compensation. POTATO PUFFS 1 C. left-over 1 egg white. mashr% potatoes. % level tsp.
