Do Spirits Exist ?
By Camille Flamraarion.
HAT souls survive thg destruction of thw body I have not tire
i I slightest doubt, but that they manifest themselves' by the pro-
j cesses employed in seances the -experimental method has not
yet given us aDsoiute prooi. jaaa, tms nypotnesis is not at
all likely. - '
If the souls of the dead are about us, upon our planet, the
invisible population would Increase at the rate of 100,000 a day,
about 36,000,000 a year, 3,020,000,000 a century, 80,000,000,000 in ten cen
turies etc. unless we admit reincarnation upon the earth itself .
How many times do apparitions, or manifestations, occur? When Illu
sions, auto-suggestions, hallucinations are illuminated,, what remains?
Scarcely anything. Such an exceptional rarity as this pleads against the
reality of apparitions. ' . . 4
We may suppose, It Is true, that all human beings do not survive' their
death, and that, in general, their physical entity is so Insignificant, so wave?
lag, so ineffectual,' that it almost disappears in the ether, in the common
reservoir, In the environment, like the souls of animals But thinking -beings
-who Live the consciousness of their physical existence do not close their per
sonality, but continue the cycle of their evolution.
'. It would seem natural, therefore, to see them manifest themselves under
certain circumstances.
Persons condemned to death in consequence of Judicial errorB, and exe
cuted, should they not return to protest their innocence?" . ' .
Would it not be reasonable to suppose that persons put to death in such
a way that violence was not suspected would return to accuse-the assassins?
Knowing the characters of Robespierre, of Saint Just, of Fouguier Tur
Ille, I should like to have seen them revenge themselves a little on those
rho triumphed over them. The victims of '93, should they not have returned
to disturb the sleep of the conquerors?
Out of tire 20,000 citizens shot by fusillades during the time of the
Commune of Paris I should like to have seen a dozen unceasingly harrassing
.M. Thiers, who was really too puffed up and vainglorious over his having
flrst permitted the organization and then punished It.
Why do not children, whose death Is lamented by their parents, ever
romn to conso!e them?. Why do our dearest attachments seem to disappear
forever? And bow about last wills ftnd testaments stolen away, and the last
will of the dead Ignored and their Intentions purposely misinterpreted?
"It Is only the dead that do not return," says an old proverb. This
ephrrlsm Is rot of absolute application, perhaps, but apparitions are rare,
very rare, and we do not understand their exact natumAre they actual
arpTftirns of the dead? It is not yet demonstrated.
Up to this dsy I have sought in vain for certain proof of personal iden
IKy thmizh medlumlstlc ecmmunicatl?ns. And then, one does nnt sc whr
plrlts. If they exist around us, should have need of mediums at all in order
o manifest themselves. They snrely must form a part of n&turn, of tho
universal nature which includes all thin?Sv ' f
It mny lie. it is true, that spirits exist around us and that it is normally
irrprwible for them to make themselves visible; audible or tangible, not be

Relates Instances of Persecution, by . Foster . v v
Parents and Public Institutions. .
Cliicago, 111. How the wards of
the State have been abused and tor
tured was the subject of a sensational
recital: by the Rev.. Charles Virden.
agent of the State Board of Chari
ties, to the State Conference of Char
ities, held at Rock Island. His paper
was entitled "The StateC Visitation of
Children," and said.Jn part:
During the last two years I have
personally handled approximately 550
special cases: Most of the children
are - well, cared for when- placed in
family homes, i Tha. bad cases are
exceptions. For example, I have
found them tortured with hot irons,
stabbed with toasting forks and scis
sors, limbs broken, hair torn out by i
the roots, lashed until black and blue i
from head to foot, faces cut and j
scarred and eyes blinded. ,
Numerous other: cases of . crime
against children in the form of as
sault have been prosecuted, and in
the three years of my incumbency ten
of these offenders have been sent to
the penitentiary and numerous jail
commitments and fines have been imposed.
Many Children Sold.
"There has been a wholesale traffic.
in children in Illinois I have a re
ceipt in my possession for a child
who had- been sold: for a stipulated
price.
One of the most distressing cases
occurred in Quincy, 111., where a child
was taken from its mother, a young
girl, when less than an hour old,
placed in a market basket, absolutely
nude except for a covering of an old
piece of quilt, carried about the
streets and offered to any one who
wo'uld accept It. The infant finally
was given to a woman who had. been
a pensioner on the county for a num
ber of years.
"The evidence showed,, that this
was at least: the second cnua tnat
had been sold from this institution.
The saddest part of it all Is that there,
is no law- in the State of Illinois pro
hibiting the sale of a child.'" , '
Iu speaking of other specific cases
the Rev. Mr. Virden said:
"A girl of. thirteen years, commit
ted by the Juvenile Court, was made
a household drudae. Our State agent ;
found that sho was being beaten with
a horsewhip;. . The girl was removed
and placed in a good home, where she- -.
was given a chance for education and
religious training. , , :
: Burned With Hot Knife. a
1 "A girl, having only " one parent
living,, seven years old,, was in. the
home of a family at Alton, 111. The
evidence showed that this child was-
i covered with bruises. Her face was
burned, her hand3 were-hacked with
a Ted hot knife and the sight of one
eye was destroyed. The foster moth
er, charged with having inflicted.these :
wounds, was fined for- assault and
battery and will be tried under the
cruelty act.
"A girl was the victim of her step- !
father's attacks for ten1 years, after
she was seven years old. Her step
father was sent, to the penitentiary
and the girl sent to a good home. , ?
"Two girls, aged five and ten, were
forced to beg on the streets for their
mother, who kept a disreputable re
sort. They are now in good homes.
"A girl thirteen; years old did the ;
washing and ironing for. a family ot
seven. She had no school advan
tages. An investigation showed that
she wore her foster mother's old
clothes and shoes; was overworked
and received no salary ;' that her life
was insured in t&e benefit of the ;
mother-in-law in the home. The
child was returned to the home on
trial upon the cancellation of the life
insurance policy, and promised, that .
she was to receive new clothes and
$2 a week. I protest against the in
surance of thelivesof these children.

-London. Henry E. Armstrong,
professor of chemistry at the City aTirt

addressing the annual meeting of the
Iron and SteeL Institute at Middles-
borough, said it was difficult to keep
calm when he reflected upon the ruth
less way the world's stores of timber,
iron, coal and oil were being used up.
It made the scientist shudder to see
the indifference -displayed in all civil
ized lands to the inevitable conse
quences of such waste in the nowise
distant future.
No-comment was provoked by the
fact that the steamers Lusitania and
Mauretania devour daily a thousand

The public comforted itself with
the belief that science would, dis
cover a substitute for coal, and there
fore felt- no compunction in recklessly,
destroying the capital won from the
sun in past ages, but science: could
not at present support the illusion. .
