DECLARES THE SOUL LIVES

New York, July 2s.-The Journal prints
the following special cable from It's Paris
correspondent:
1 have just paid a second visit to Ca
mile Flammarion, the distinguished
scientist who has dine so much TO popu-
larize astronomy. The OBJECT of this visit
about to give to humanity in his forth
coming book, which will sum up his stud
ies OF the invisible world for the past thir-
ty-eight years. 1 found Flammarion in
his library, which contains 5000 volumes,
most OF them treating of the stars. Before
him was the enormous roll of manuscript
which. when published two months hence,
may revolutionize metaphysics. Taking
my notebook he began by writing the IT,
tie OF his chef-d' oeuvre. thus: "L'Incon-
nu e. les Problems Psychiques." Then. in
reply to my questions which he asked me
10 put At once. he poured forth the fol-
lowing tide OF philosophy:
My studies have led me to a discovery
of new proof Of immortality. This proof
IS based upon my experience. For con-
veniecnce sake let us call ii an expert
mental demonstration Of the Immortality
OF the soul. Man dies. Years pass. I
then talk 10 his spirit under circum-
stances that admit OF no deception. Am 1
not right in Including there is a spirit
world and that the spirit lives after It's
separation from the body? / have had d.
rect communication with hundreds OF de-
parted spirits, and the same rs true Of
many OF my trustworthy correspondents
II We were deceived, then the deception
would be still more wonderful than the
discovery. Hitherto all proofs OF a future
lie have been based upon logic. Justice
and the spirit Of humanity. but there was
no positive demonstration. The arguments
OF the school men are losing their hold
uTOn the more scientific mind Of today
Now I have something positive in the
way Of proof. which even the severest
science cannot reject.
Il also prove positively the existence
OF a God Men like the deceased Inge-soil
cannot scon at my positive demonstra-
lions in argument. Founded on my ex-
Perience OF the invisible world am ab-
solutely certain an invisible world exists
and that II has MANI unknown forces.
The opening chapter OF my book &c d.
rect against unbellevers. Some people be-
heve TOO little; others too much; hence I
devote chapter against the latter. Cred

his bearings on account Of The fog which
was almost impsnstrabls AZ the time Of
the accident. To maks his task Of pilot

the tide was low. There was consider
able excitement among the passenger,
but Capt. Simmons and his crew easily
assured them that there was no danger.
A boat was lowered and several Of the
srsw under the first mate ryst on TO Port
Morris, whsrs the report OF the accident
WAS sent by telephone % the compAny's
offices at Pier l. North river.
The steamers Maine, City of Worcester

chartered by the Fall River line officials
and despatched with several tugs to the
