CALI. origin anl lastly We come
upon the curious aai quite original
writings 0: that richlv fanriful
French scientist. Camille flanl
marion. This remarkable work,
translated bv Mr. Croker OF Bos.on
ami inst issued from the press Of
Roberts Bros, in that city. is the
latest efIsion OF the nature indi-
ca.ed-if. indeed. il be not entitled
to rank ns quite al unprecedented
performance as to its ideas and
purposes. To make brief. and. G.
course, meagre, reference to. and
outline description Ct. this strange
and fascinating book from such i'm
perfect statements regarding the
same as are at hand. flor We have
not vet seen the volume itself,] We
offer the following detached hints Of
its character and origin: Mons.
Flammarion has given his boob the
somewhat fantastic title Of "StOriss
Of Infnity," and the idealistic rsve-
latious which constitute the charm
of the work come to US through the
voice Of "Lumen" whose soul holds
converse With Inquirer one OF his
terrestrial students in the science ct
astronomy. These conversations are
supposed to be held in the exrly
morn while the stars are ye: shining.
and the moment of the writer's in
SEPARATION is simultaneous with the
first CLEANS of the light Of dawn.
'.Lumen," as has been already init
mated, is the Soul of q deceased as
tronomer whose spirit and mortal
part were but recently separated, and
who since his entrance into the
realms of Infinitude has been per
mitted to investigate space and eter-
nifty, and return to earth to relate
his strange experiencies.' OF the
parting Of the soul from the body
and the sensations caused By death.
'.Lumen" is made to advance some
new and peculiar Observation-Disclosures,
indeed, which claim kinship with
science itself :-although one must
confess that it is 4 marvellous and
almost incomprehensible compro-
mise which finds the devo.ee OF an
exact science admitting the baseless i
intasibilities Of Spir;tland but IS {
this is meant for . description and ,
not q criticism we had better hurry
On. Lumen says Of the severance Of
soul and body. that there is quite as I
little consciousness on the part of I
the soul in being born into its new ,
existence in the Infinite world as
there is Of earthly existence on the !,
par. Of q new born child-the prin- :
eipal difference being that the soul Q
not being hindered by earthly integ- 4
aments expands and develops more G
.apidly than the mortal body. 1t
