    Describes Jagadischandra Bose's 'marvellous discovery' of 'invisible lights [that] penetrate earth, wood, pitch, brick, granite, and still retain their active properties. These electric waves have different angles of refraction for different bodies; and by discerning their reflective angle, we have a test of the genuineness of the substance through which they pass'. Comments that 'Such a discovery seems to come fitly from the East and the land of the Mahatmas'.
