OAHSPE'S SCIENCE

Sirs:

I disagree with your statement in the April '47 issue of A. S. in which you say, in your article on "Oahspe," that Oahspe's "science is in variance with accepted concepts." I think that the present scientific concept of heat, light, magnetism, etc., are fairly similar. According to "Oahspe," light is nothing more than the moisture and gases of the air becoming polarized needles arranged in parallel lines. Darkness is the needles in a state of confusion. Magnetism, as explained by present day concepts, is that molecules in an iron bar assume a parallel arrangement. In a demagnetized bar the molecules are in a haphazard arrangement.

In the February 22nd issue of Science News Letter is an article dealing with Prof. G. N. Lewis' experiments with phosphorescing molecules in regards to photosynthesis. It was proved that phosphorescing molecules are in a magnetic state by exposing a fluorescein-containing glass to a strong light and suspending the glass between the poles of an electro-magnet. The glass swung toward one of the poles showing that the fluorescein molecules were magnetized.

If you have any ideas by your readers in your files in regards to regeneration (that is, regeneration of starfish's arms, earthworm's tails, etc.) I shall be glad to hear of them.

I have been following the Shaver mystery since "I Remember Lemuria!" and, along with thousands of others, I think it is great.

I especially like the homey, down-to-earth manner in which Harold M. Sherman presents his stories I think he is a swell writer and hope to see a great many of his stories in coming A. S. magazines.

REPORT ON DORR CAVE

Sirs:

I have just returned from a trip to investigate the Dorr brothers cave reported by Charles H. Gesner in the last issue of Amazing Stories. There is a cave. I was unable to enter the cave myself, but I shall report my findings.

Harmer's story, through Gesner, is based on a series of legends started by a man named Plummer. All Harmer's stuff, plus a lot more, has been traced to Plummer. A local archaeologist
