Marvelous Psychic Fewer Shows by a
Massachusetts Mechanic.
The marvelous psychic power of
Fred E. Foskett, a young machin-
ist of Orange, Mass., has attracted
the attention of Professor of Harv-
ard and other leading members of
the Boston branch of the American
Society of Psychical Research, who
gave him tests recently.
The first of the tests were held
at the home of Prescott F. Hall.
Professor William James and. sev-
eral] well known physicians were
■ there, and test conditions as near-
ly perfect as possible were made.
Foskett was seated in the center of
a room before a table.
On the table was an ordinary
kerosene lamp, with a chimney
and a flat wick, a j>an and severa
quarts of alcohol. According^ to
the reports of those present, Fos-
kett succeeded in every test. The
first! test was made with ordinary
sulphur matches. Foskett lighted
half a dozen, one after the other,
holding them with one hand so
close to the fingers of the other
that the flames curled around
thetn. He then lighted the lamp
and] held his hands above the
wic)c, while the flames curled over
them and the soot completely
blackened them.
From one of these tests to an
other Foskett went, while the
scientists held their breath ant
watched every motion until he
canke to the climax. In this he
poured a quart of alcohol into the
basin, lighted it, and then washed
his hands, bathing them for near-
ly ten minutes in the burning
fluid, washing it up his arms, ant
to his face—literally bathing him
self in blazing alcohol.
That completed the test,
soon as finished tlie physicians
prepent examined Foskett, and
they could not find the slightest
trace of a burn or blister. Foskett
told them that the flames did not
give him the slightest sensation of
burning, that he felt comfortably
warm and pleasant and nothing
mop.
^he second tests were made at
the; home of . Prof. James in Cam-
bridge, and under the same condi-
tions as before. Considerable
mystery is thrown about them.

Waterproof Coats of Grwss.
In the tropics of Mexico, where tor-
rential rains fall a part of each year,
raincoats are a very necessary part
of man’s apparel. Owing to the In
tense heat which prevails in the sum-
mer season, the ordinary rubber rain-
coat cannot be worn. A rainproof
coat Is made from native grasses, and
Is worn by the men of the middle and
upper classes. The grasses are woven
close together and It is Impossible
for the rain to beat through them, no
matter how hard the storm may be
Some of these coats are made with a
hood which protects the head as well
as the body.
