pocrisy was sufficient to disgust him. and
his peculiar investigative methods and his
intolerance of sham made him dreaded
by all the so-called mediums whom he
chose to honor with his personal atten-
ton.
Much interested at first by the "won-
derfuI Buguet," whose Photographic neg
atives bore Impressions of the spirits of
the dead, he soon declared publicly: Il
have with my own eyes caught sight of
his Buguets) previously prepared
plates"
The famous medium, Slade, came very
near making him q convert, but he pur-
sued his Investigations so unremittingly
that one day he announced that he not
only had detected him writing beneath
the table on a concealed slate, but had
also given him a very simple task which
he had been unable to perform Admiral
Mouchez, director of the Paris Observa-
tory. had. together with Flammarion,
sealed together two states with observa-
tory paper in such a way that if tam
pered with the fraud could not have been
disguised. and Slade had been obliged,
after having them ten hours in his pos
session, TO return them unwritten on.
Such experiences. while they did not
lessen Monsieur Flammarion's eageraess
to know more of the mystic side of life
and death, naturally increased his skep-
ticism as to humanityS power in the
premises. He declared himself not only
open to conviction, but more than desir-

BANK DEFUNCT FOR TWENTY
YEARS PAYS DEBTS AND
LARGE DIVIDENDS.

Wheat fell cents, pork 10 cents, and
the markets in the Board of Trade closed
weak.
The earliest report on the condition OF
the bank made by Colonel Huntington W.
public money should be withdrawn sud
denly and the New York bank hesitated
and hedged.
On President Pearce's return to Chicago
he found that some of the directors Of the
bank were losing confidence in it's ability
to meet the demands which might be
made upon 1t.
In spite of the loss of confidence, there
was no regular run on the bank, and yet
1t was suffering from wasting disease
known to financiers as vest pocket
run" Depositors drew out their money
and 1t was not replaced. A ST. Louis paper
printed a brief telegram limiting at the
condition of the bank and every mail
brought drafts that helped to drain its
reserve.
One day the County Treasurer gave
notice that he would want half million
but he must have the money. He, too.
had heard the rumors and he must protect
himself.
A half-million dollars is a very large
banks reserve cash. The officers of the
Third National Bank ran here and there
for help, thereby spreading the odium Of
their distress. The First National Bank,
agreed to lend a helping hand if the
Union National Bank would do the same.
The Union National Bank, after question:
ing and delaying. agreed by its president,
w. F. Coolbaugh. to advance 100000 in
case of emergency. With this money and
other promised assistance, President
Pearce was sure that he could make his
bank stand any strain. The First Ma
tional Bank was ready to do anything in
It's power-it only awaited a formal re-
quest. Other banks also expressed their
friendliness.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars
of the borrowed money was to be deliv-
cred on November IA. That morning Pres
ident Coolbaugh was found dead at the
foot of the Douglas monument with bull
let hole in his temple. His bank, fearing
for it's own safety, refused to advance the
promised money. The First National
Bank followed its example. New York long
since had refused q friendly hand-and
the Third National Bank found itself
deeper than ever in the meshes of mis-
fortune.
About this time the Park Commission
ers discovered suddenly that there was a
large block of bonds not yet due which
they could pay. OF course they wished to
save the interest-and they withdrew
more than 100000 all in one day.
On October l the bank had cash re-
sources amounting to s966,530 with total

the severest criticism by the world at
large for his change of opinion and was
indeed ridiculed by many, he persisted in
declaring that he had at last found the
truth and was content with it. He be-
came member of the English Society
for Psychical Research and organized a
circle, or investigation society, of seven
teen members. all men of his own nation
ality and of high social or scientific
standing.
He carried his spiritual beliefs and
theories into the practicalities of his life
also. for after his conversion he wrote
several books which he stated were really
the dictated works of disembodied spirits,
All CT them, however, were of such a ma
ture as to add to Flammarion's own repu-
tation as scholar and a thinker in the
estimation even of those who regarded
with disfavor his spiritualistic views and
declarations
And now. after years spent in the quiet
harbor of satisfying and happy belief;
after years spent in endeavoring to induce
other storm-tossed mariners on the raging
ocean of Doubt to come and anchor be-
side him, Camille F1ammarion has put
up sails and gone straight out to sea
again.
He has discovered, he says, that the
harbor was full Of shoals and hidden
rocks, and that he was utterly deceived
by the pilots who towed his bark there
to. There is no safety there, he atf1rms,
but instead are dangers worse than those
of the open main, however stormy, be-
cause they are secret and hidden under
the deceitful smoothness of treacherously
quiet waters.
He had found flaws in the ostensible
communications from the other world,
and while he does not dispute the axist-
ence of all occult phenomena he gives no
further credence to the assertion that

by vague yearning after the seemingly
unknowable in life here and hereafter.
Strangely enough, though, he never al
lowed his temperamentaI desires to inf1u-
ence or cloud his judgment. His self
recognition of his mystical tendencies
made him, indeed, particularly discrimi
mating and critical under all circum-
stances that appealed to the other side
of his dual nature.
Earnestly desirous always of journey
ing beyond the limit of ordinary human
knowledge, he yet insisted upon going
every step Of the way upon solid ground
and with his very bright and observing
eyes wide open. He was always seeking
information and looking for new light,
but the slightest shadow of fraud or hy-

make a complete convert of the eminent
and previously invincible Camille FIam-
marion.
In company with NJ. and Nine Blecl1
and the two daughters of NJ. de Fontenay
and NJ. Koechlin, Flammarion attended Il
seance given in the Bleck parlors by
Eusepia, who was their guest at the time.
The Blecks were earnest searchers after
truth and very anxious to observe the
mediums manifestations in surroundings
and under circumstances which would
preclude any possibility of the woman
receiving the slightest assistance in her
work from any material outside source.
During this meeting the medium sat at
the end of a common kitchen table be-
tween NJ. Flammarion and NJ. de Fonte-
nay, NJ. Bleck and his two daughters oc-
cupying the other seats, while Nine. Rleck
and Nine. Koechlin sat on a sofa facing
the table. about six feet away.
At the end of three minutes the table
moved. A minute later it rose entirely
off the floor and remained for two seconds
suspended six inches above it. Two flash
light photographs taken on the instant
show that this was an actual fact and not
