To THE EDIroR OF THE SuN SIR: In my
former epsile to q 'or.,e Francis Train in THE
SuS ofthe 10th instHnt.I didnot ,ntcriipi realm of
psychology which lind Mr.Train dwehs upon in
THE SUN to-day. but simply took the liberty to
state that IL matters very little which theory Mr..
Train follows. whether optimistic or pcssims-
tie. because they both result from the inVarmhle
law of evolution. or. in plain English. "unroll-
ing out from Within" as the bird from an egg
or the oak from an acorn. Psychology. ON the
other hand. is not existence per 81 or 10y itsrlf.
but an effect produ red by tion Of matter upon
matter. suhjoI to the universal law Of rcpulsiOn
and attraction.
In speak ing Of psychology 1t reminds me OF a
work by an unknown hand. In Greek. written
during the second century OF the present era.
entitled. THE Divine Pimandcr of Hermcs
Mcrcurius Trismcgistus" 1t purports to be
the work of the Egyptian God Mercury or Thaut.
the inventor of letters. 1t speaks of eychology.
hut ignores Herbert Spencer. SO. while 1t is
true that there is nothing new under the sun. "
it il equally true that there is always something
new ia THE sun.
WHO II this critic, Brama?" asks Mr.. Train.

Scmclo for my mother.
