OF their combustion by saying that 1.-THE wood

Thu Real Question Involved.

To THE EDITOR OF The suN-ST: IL seems
N mo that most Of your correspondents who
are writing upon the subject OF immortality
fail to touch the real point OF the discussion.
The question Is not whether the soul or the
vital force survives tho body. but whether 1t
survives as q conscious personality. Can there
be a conscious personality without an organ
ism3 While tho material body exists 1t serves
AZ an organ for the soul. but after 1t has been
resolved into it's chemical constituents and
been dissipated. what becomes OF the souls
conscious personal existence2 II 1t ceases to
have a form Its identity also must cease. l

The Question Is, Does tho Person al Life Last?
To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: Most OF
your correspondents who endeavor 10 prove
the imm ortality OF the human soul seem to
overlook the fact that In order to establish this
question they must dem strate the indestruc-
tibility OF tho personal identity. or form. OF
the life energy.
No one conversant with the teachings OF
modern science will dispute the fact that the
life force which animates our corporal exis-
tence is one Of the great invisible forces OF
Internationally the greatest OF all-and
that. like all matter and force. 1t cannot DO de-
stroyed; but. is there any basis for the assor-
ton that once having manifested itself in a
certain form. that form is indestructibe and
will ever remain intact?
The analogy OF electricity. left unfinished In
several letters upon this question. and so
logically followed through by Physics" in his
letter OF Sept 20. would show that the life
force. upon the destruction OF any OF its forms
Of manifestation. loses the personal identity
established by that form and reyerts to the
general body Of force 10 the universe. There
are no grounds upon which one can reasonably
assume that therein 1t differs from other
forces and maintains it's personal individuality
after the material manifestation OF that indi-
viduality has disappeared. A. SEARIoHr

RENOVATION or THE ACADEMY.
The Work of the Contractor Almost
FiniShed-OId Chairs to Remain.

The transformation Of the Academy Of
Music into a bona-hde theatre is being
rapidly accomplished. The building is
now in the hands of the decorators. and
the effect Of their work promises to be
bright and artistic. The owners OF the
property and Mr.. Thomas G. Leath. the
lessee. are more than delighted with the
changes, which they think will be a
revelation to the public as well as to the
actors, who have found a fruitful source
Tor complaint In the miserable lack Of
accommodation afforded by the Old house.
Mr.. Leath is spending considerably
over $1,000 in carpets curtains, and dra-
Deries.
The only familiar thing about the
Academy, when il will be opened next
month. will be the old seats. They might
well have been dispensed with for they
we're ever unsightly and noisy, and never
very comfortable, but The appropriation
made by the company for the renovation
of the house has not run TO new chairs,
so the old ones win be kept at all
events. for the present disguised be-
meath a coat of paint.
Mr. Leath said yesterday that the me-
chanigm of the chairs win be ovorhauled
so as to DO away with the Gathering
noise when has always attended their
opening and shutting. The plain chair
ne thinks, is less fatiguing than the up
holstercd, and more suitable for this
climate.
