Edward II. Elwell, Jr., writing OF
the experiences Of a party Of Ameri-

The Mont st. Michel is nearly two
miles from the mouth OF the river. 1t
is but fifteen minutes walk around
the rocky beach at its base. Its
height is over $50 feet. Its sides are
nearly as steep as the sides of a

And what is II Mahatma? Prof
Baldwin explains it etymologically as
meaning "a great soul" In its tech
meal sense in India and Thibet il
designatcs Il person who can do won
derful things that border upon the
supernatural. and who is looked upon
as an expert or adept in the occult
sciences. Ii is not an official title. but
is bestowed by general acclaim. In
this u Mahatma differs from Il Yogi,

cants, who impose on the public by
mere sleight Of hand.
How did the Professor become a
Mnhatma? Starting in life as pub
lie exposer of the frauds of spiritual
ism and the tricks of conjurers. he
gradually became interested in mes
mcrism, hypnotism, telepathy and
all kindred subjects. While he EN-.
phaficaily repudiates any belief in
the supernatural, he yet holds that
there are. unseen forces in nature
which can be utilized in q manner
that seems supernatural to the vul-
gar, and are not within the mental
powers Of the race to explain on any
known scientific basis. That that

fled into places of safety before the
attacks OF the NOrsemcn, over one
thousand years ago. They are all
fishermen, except the proprietors OF
the three hotels. 1t is but recently
that this quaint little village, so
queerly located, has been made ac-
cessib!e to visitors unless under the
guidance Of those who had learned
by experience how to cross the sand
and escape its dangers. For in nu-
merous and everchanging places the
surface is as yielding as that Of the
ocean itself and strong indeed would
be the swimmer who could support
himself ina quicksand!

in his wife clairvoyant OF eXtraor-

into the hypnotic state, can and does
perform marvcls Of mind reading and

his mind yearned toward the dim and

their highest development. He wished

At last the opportunity came.
With his wife he went into the very
home OF mystery and magic. lie met
tho YoSis and the Mahatmns face to
face, and beat them on their own
ground. He drew large audiences,
and the rajahs and maharajahs who
were familiar with the feats OF the

halls, with rows OF carved pillars, OF
endless passages, broad flights of
steps and spiral stairways, OF hor-
rlble dungeons and gloomy vaults.
The stone OF which it is built was
brought from the mainland, nearly
two miles, and, of course, hauled
over the sand. Block by block, the
stone was brought across the sands,
hoisted up the steep cliffs by means
Of windlasses, and then shaped and
carved with infinite patience and rare
skill. The building went on mt diff
fcrent times between the ninth and
fourteenth centuries; and since then
separate parts have been many times
destroyed and restored. The archi-
tectural beauty and wonderful cary
ing OF these buildings would alone
make them famous. But because Of
their unique location, and also be-
cause they were built by the monks,
who possessed here II little kingdom

exploits were undoubtedly marvellous.

of their garments, thrust them away
and fled from the scene.
This exploit earned him u great
reputation. Ever after when any

they would flee from the presence Of
