LEVITATION
Sir,-Your correspondent "Argosy says that the’ levitation. of Daniel Douglas Home was a fraud. How does he know when he wasn’t there to see the demonstration? The levitation of articles-tables and so forth--has been going on for years and witnessed by reputable people of intelligence. A. recent photograph depicts a medium suspended several feet from the floor with no visible means of support. Of course, your sceptic will always find some ingenious explanation of such a phenom-« enon, which is usually more extraordinary than the phenomenon itself. However, in the case of Home, I believe that his type of phenomenon was witnessed by an eminent scientist, who .was not likely to be fooled by some obvious
trickery.
