  • Spiritualists all over the country are deeply interested in a Muskegon man who is going to find out all there is worth finding out, or he will know the reason why. He proposes to die in a hermetically sealed jar so that his spirit cannot get away before his friends have an opportunity to interview it. He is dying fast of consumption and the big jar is standing at his bedside waiting for him to be popped in just as the death rattle begins to sound. A system of wires passing through the cylinder will enable the living folks to interview the detained spirit provided all the calculations are correct. Of course, a great deal will be settled by the experiment. If no message comes over those wires it will be proved that there is no hereafter and no such thing as a spirit. It is very kind of the Muskegon man to take all that trouble.
