Which Justified Or. BouTi0n,s dsclara-
tions, what do you expect that any one
else could make of those researches? Do
not talk any more ~ even think any
more about it..
81 beg yous pardon. M. Ginory. One
can and Ought to think about it, In any
case. am thinking about it. -
4 smile of doubt crossed M. Ginory's
lips Bernardet quickly added: pho
Biography of the invisible has been prov
ed. Are not the Roentgen rays, the ia
nous X rays, as incredible as that pho
Biography can find the image Of MUIR
derer ON the retina of a dead PERSONS
eye? They invent some foolish things,
those Americans, but they often presage
the truth. Do they not catch by photog-
raphy the last signs of the dying? Do
they not fix upon the film or ON plates
that mysterious thing which haunts us,
the occult? They throw bridges across
unknown abysses as over great bodies Of
water or from one precipioe to another
and they reach the other side. l beg
your pardon, monsieur. And the police
officer stopped short in his enthusiastic
defense as he caught sight of M. Gil
nory's astonished face. 81 seem to have
been making speech, thing detest. -
why do you say that to me? Be-
cause looked astonished at what you
have told me? l am not only surprised,
am charmed. Go ON, go onp'
"Oh, well, what seemed folly yester-
do xri11 ha g..
row. A fact is fact. DIR. Vernois had
better have tested again and again his
contradictory experiments DIR. Bou-
rion's experiments had preceded his
own. If DR.. Vernois saw nothing in the
picture taken of the retina of the eye of
the woman assassinated June ia, 1868,
/ have seen something-yes, have seen
with magnifying glass, while study
ing thoroughly the proof given to the
society and reproduced in the bulletin
of volume 1, No. 2, Of 1870, have seen
deciphered the image which DR.. Bouri-
ON saw and which DR.. Vernois did not
see. All, it was confused the proof was
hazy. 1t was scarcely recognizable, I
confess, but there are mirrors which are

vision; nevertheless the image is there.
And l have seen, or what one calls seen,
the phantom Of the murderer which DIR.
Bourbon saw and which escaped the eyes
Of the member of the Academy of Medi- |
cine and of the hygiene council honor

please
M. Ginory, who had listened to the
'fficer with curiosity, began to laugh |
md remarked to Bernardet that, accord |
ng to this reasoning, illustrated med |
cal science would find itself sacrificed |
20 the instinct, the divination of pro-
'incial physician, and that it was only |
90 easy to put the academicians in the |
wrong and the independents in the
light.
"Oh, monsieur, pardon. / put no one
n the right OF wrong. DIR. Bourbon be-
ieved that he had made discovery.
)r. Vernois was persuaded that DR..
Bourbon had discovered nothing at all.
Zach had the courage of his conviction.
What I contest is that for 26 years no
ne has experimental, no one has made
ny researches, since the first expert
1ent and that DIR. Bourion's communl-
alton has been simply dropped and for
often.
Il ask your pardon in my turn, Ber-
