Why Some Persons Can Stare With out Results, From the London Free Lance. The new craze which is rearing its head in society—that of “crystal gaz ing’’—promises some interesting ex periments with regard to the finding out of coming events, but people must be sure that Providence has gifted them with the power of reading the occult secrets of the crystal, or they will find themselves staring for hours at a singularly profitless little glass ball, and coming away disgusted. The only way to discover whether one has this gift is to study the color of the eyes. In Oriental and Southern Eu ropean nations dark-eyed people can read crystals, but in England and among the northern nations the seer of all such occult secrets has light eyes, and even those of only two col ors—hazel and sea-green, or greenish gray, which ever one chooses to call it. No blue-eyed people need apply. Blue-eyed people are essentially ma terialists. They cannot see visions or anything occult. Neither can the dark eyed people of the northern nations— the dark-brown, dark-gray or black eyed people—and it is useless their at tempting to do so. The power is given in all the force to people with hazel eyes, those in which there is a slight tinge of green especially, or to people with greeny gray eyes particularly those eyes which change color quickly, and sometimes look pure gray, sometimes pure green, and sometimes even blue. These peo ple have what the Scotch call, “sec ond sight,” if they choose to cultivate it, and are subject to the planet Luna. So anyone who wants his or her fu ture foretold should go to a hazel eyed or greeny-gray eyed friend to do it for them. People are now busily studying eyes, and running off lists of their friends with the ory col ored orbs, in order to go and them to foretell their future. Crystals are being sold by the thousand, the lowest price for them being about 4 or 5 shillings. According to Mr. Lang: “It is best to go alone into a r , sit down with the back to the light, place the ball at a just focus in the lap on a dark dress, or a dark piece of cloth, try to exclude reflections, think of anything you please, and stare for, say, five minutes at the ball. That is all.” Then, if you are in luck, “you see things.” ‘There is, however, more ancient and much more reliable form of crystal gazing. You take a glass, just an ordinary glass; then, evoking the spirits in general use, you place the glass to your lips, tilt it to a just focus—no hell-tops—and gaze stead fastly through the bottom. With practice, you are bound to see things. You can do this in any room, either alone or in company, but the faithful prefer a bar-parlor. it is quite a mat ter of taste in every name of the word. Many people in a smart society pre fer it to ping-pong,
