MIRACLES OF THE YOGI.

New York Press.


Thomas Stevens, the great explorer, is in
won fame from his trip around the world
on a bicycle. Now he is investigating the
Indian miracle workers. Several months
ago he sent a letter from Deccan to a
friend in Brooklyn, saying:
Il had some time ago determined on the
solution of a mystery that seems so far
to have eluded the pursuit of SUCH con-
vincing evidence as is naturally demanded
by people of ordinary common sense. Ever
since the first European travellers pioneered
the wa to India and the East we nave
been hearing stories of Indian yogiS and
fakirs, venerable men whose lives are spent
in one continuous effort to develop phenom-
email faculties. That some few of these re-
markable a~SceticS eventually acquire the
power of producing startling phenomena
Of working miracles in fact, is as inex-
of the miracles of the Bible.
Growing a mango tree, bearing fruit in
side a quarter of an hour; apparently dy-
ing, coming TO life again: causing ponder
Gus objects to move without visible sup
port; making themselves invisible; multi
plying food, etc These are samples of the
miracles performed by the Indian Yogi.
according TO the testimony Of many trav-
elers, British officers and others.
THE vast majority of practical Amer
leans, finding the phenomena called mira
cleS ineXplicabie, seek refuge in skepti-
cism; or, as Christians, accept on faith
those OF the Bible, and those only. Genuine
miracle-working Yog1s seem TO be as hard
to get at and as elusive as the north pole,
but they are realities, none the less. and /
have every reason TO believe that before
quest will have been rewarded with some
degree of success"

Briggs is a learned man with wheels in his
head. The compromising consequence of
his resemblance TO a chestnut burr IS sup
piled by the inference that the best part
Is on the inside. He has the ~unenviable
gift of obscuring a case by stating IL, OF
reducing its adherents by his unequaled
capacity to make a new enemy every ff-
teen minutes. The effects of his own irri-
liability are regarded by him as heroism
and martyrdom, and those whom he wounds
and stings are his enemies, and, of course,
criticism and even of the Almighty. a de-
PENDANT such as he makes a prosecution of
necessity hard.
Smith Is said TO be a horse of another
color, an ambulatory epitcme of amiability
and velvet facilities. AS q defendant Smith
is one over whom the assembly will cry.
Beside, Patton is a very sick man. He is
president OF Princeton College. He has an
intellect as keen as a razor and as PEN
etrating as an auger. He holds a brief
from the ghosts of the fnQuisition and from
the shades of the witch burners TO head all
the heresy hunts in Presbyterianism. Saul
was the same sort of man on his way to
