that she could tell many things II she only
wanted to do so.'" Yet Nine. CoULoMB, II
seems. was intrusted with the composition OF
magic mirrors" and conjured "Elementals
by incantations, prayers, and ceremonies,
accompanied with tho burning Of Incense.
for which purposes she shut herself up for
hours In Col. OLoorr's or Nine BLAvATsKY's
rooms. which no ono was permitted to enter
except herself and her husband"
1t will DO seen, therefore, that NJ. and Nine.
CoULoMB were very important members Of
tho Theosophictl household But DR.. HART
MANN says that no didn't like their looks;
that shc was "a weird, witchlike creature"
and ho "a ghostly-looklng Frcnchman."
And this brings w to tho exposure In tho
Times of Indid, which gets It's facts from the
Christian College MuOa.ine published at
Madras. Having fallen out with the seeress
for some reason, Nine CoULoMD proceeded
to publicly denounce her rs charatan, and
to print letters Of Nine. BLAvATsKY which
indicated tho methods sho used In playing
her tricks.
NJ. and Nine CoULoMB. we are
told, joined Nine. BLAvATsKY and
Col. OLCOTr soon after their arrival
In India, and tho Frcnchwoman alone knew
of Nine. BLAvATsKY's real antocedents."
NJ. CoULoMB was useful about tho shrine
as skilful carpenter and his wife was
necessary assistant Of the scercss. The let
tiers of Nine. BLAvATsKY. as given by her
quondam confederate, arc very amusing,
though Dr. HARTMANN, 1t is fair to say, re-
CARDS their vulgar style and expression as
sufficient proof that they could not have
been composed by tho author of 81 Isis I'm
yelled" But as Nine BLAvATsKY, accord
ing to him, sometimes acted under the inilu-
once Of her earthly nature, for instance,
when :" she flew into stew because the coffee
was too hot" may it not DO that she wrote
tho letters Nine. CoULoMB publishes when
she was in that lower state
Hero are some extracts Of these letters.

she therefore instructa Nine. CoUroMD to
send the following telegram, supposittiously
from koor IIooMI, tho great Thcosopbist
god, so as to reach Poona about or in tho
afternoon, when she would be conversng
with Mr.. SAssooN:

But she Is troubled for fear of exposure. "Ob.

Giles" thus showing, perhaps, that she
agreed with Nine, CoULoMB in her opinion
that Sol OLCorT was q fool" "Ict SRINA-
VAS RAo PROSTATE himself before the shrine,

Mmo. BLAvATsKY frequently displays
her contempt for her devoted disciples. She
calls them tour own familiar Inurfs," and
says that "thcy cannot even perfume the
shrine properly" "Tcll DAMoDAR, please"
sho writes. "the Holy Whistle brooches,
and st. PoULrIcE that they do not perfume

In fact, vein of humorous contempt runs
through her letters, though she also often
expresses her anxiety lest she may como to
grief. As to Col. OLcorr, it is Just to say
that he seems to have been all along one of
"the domestic imbecies" she speaks of.
