But precise accounts of two such phantom embraces are the most startling of the “Proofs of the Spirit World” offered by a Frenchman, L. Chevreail, in his’ new bock about who gre spirits and why, which every trusting owner of a oulja board will want to read, “Wé do not die!” announées M. Chevreutl—in fact, that ts pretty close toa literal translation’of his book’a French title, “On Ne Meurt Pass.” “This is the certainty that we may acquire solely by observation applied to facts which are accessible to us. Knowledge may replace faith, There exists to-day @ certain class of facts acquired by observation which prove defi- mitely that the soul exists in Meelf, that_it exists before the creation of the body and survives the destruction of its mortal abode.” < Among thé “scientific tacts” listed by the author are table-tinping, au- fomatic writing, clairvoyant finding of lost objects, spirit knocking, spirit painting, various messages given by mediums. But his most interesting chapter is on “complete materializa- tons,” and it ts here that he tells the stories of the ghosts that were bugged. - ' One of these wirls “was Katie ‘, King, the phan- tom whe appeared . when Florence Cook was the me- dium, and who ‘was studied and f mccepted by no , less an authority than the English investigator, Prof. William Crookes, after experiments conducted in his @wn library for ( aix months. Th» is the gallant Prof. Crookes's own description, as quoted by. M. Chevreuil,of a par- ticularly interest- ing evening with the spiritual Katie: C “Several times \ She took my arm. ‘and the impres- ~» Blon I received that it was a liv- ing woman at my side and not 4 visitor from the other world) was So strong that the y temptation to re- Peat a recent and curious —experi- ment became al- Most irresistible. “Realizing then that if it were not @ spirit beside me it wad in any, case 4 @ lady, I asked j her permission to take her in my arms in order to verify the interesting observation that @ { bold experimenter had recently made known. This permission was gra- + tously, givep, and I took advantage { of it respectfully, as any genticman ‘would have done in the ne cireum~ -stances, The ‘ghost,’ which made no resistance, was a being as material fas Miss Cook herself. “ “Katie then declared that on this @ccasion she felt able to show herself fat the same time as Miss Cook. I low~ ered the gas and with’my phosphorus Yamp entered the room which served asacabinct. It was dark and I groped for “Miss ‘Cook, finding her crouched - upon the floor,.

Raiging my lamp, I lpoked @round me and saw Katle, who was \ P etanding close behind Miss Cook, Bhe was clad in floating white drapery, a as we had already seen her during fhe seance. Holding one of Miss “\ Cook's hands in mine, and still kne: ing, I raised and lowered the lamp, As much to, illumine the whole fig- ure ,of Katie as to convince myself . fully that I really saw the true Katie, whom I had held in my arms a few moments ago, and not the phantom of a disordered brain. “She did not speak’ Dut nodded her head in recognition. Three dif- ferent times 1 carefully examined Miss Cook, crouching before me, to Conception of Prof. Crookes Hugging the “Ghost.” assure myself that the hand I held was, indeed that of a living woman, nd thrice turned my lamp towards Katie to scrutinize her with sustained Attention, until I had not the slight- ee! doubt that she was really there before me.” ‘The other ghost who stood the test of an embrace was one Who appeared in a seance conducted by a French lady, Mme. d@’Esperance. She herself Lie the story and her’ own sensa- ons: “They saw another figure advance, smaller, slenderer, and holding out her arms. Some one rose fram the clrele, hurried toward her and fell into her arms. I heard inarticulate it ‘Anna, Oh, Apna! My child, my Another person also approached and took the spirit in her arms; tears, sobs and thanksgivings were mingted, ‘I felt the arms of some one about me, and yet I was alone, seated ‘upon miy chair, I felt the heart of some one, beat against my breast, I felt all this was happening to me, and yet there was no person near me. No ane remembered my presence; all thoughts and all eyes seemed con- centrated upon the white and delicate figure qurrounded by the arms of the two women in mourning.” To those who are still sceptical about such happenings, I am sure M. Chevreuil would reply in the, words of Prof. Crookes: “I never said it was. possible, I only said it was true.” “Proofs of the Spirit World” ts translated by Agnes Kendrick Gray and published by E.
