M. PLANTATION AND THE SPIR-
ITUALISTS.
1t having been reprted that M. Camille
Flammarion, the astronomer, had sew
cred his connection with the Spiritual
lists, M Bourges of the Figaro, who has
long been one of his intimate friends,
went to Juvisy to question the astrono-
mer. NJ Flammarion not only denied
that there was any truth in the report
that he had repudiated Spiritualism,
but said
'Within the last two or three days
have received a considerable number of
letters from Spiritualists in France,
England, Germany, and Italy, and If
some refuse to believe the news which
was published, others reproached me
bitterly for my detection. There is only
one reflection which | published after
an article which / contributed to the
Annales Politiques Litteraire which
could have given rise to the supposition
of change in my convictions. That
article treated the various communica-
lions obtained byVictor Hugo at Jersey.
To questions put in verse by the great
poet the spirit replied, also in verse of
beauty and force worthy of the master
himself published and commented on
them. The conclusion I drew was
either that an independent spirit mani
Tested itself, or that the medium found
himself influenced by the thoughts of
Victor Hugo and it was in favor of
this later supposition that l pronounced.
However, 7 indicated that it was posi-
BILE to support both hypothesis. The
best proof that I have not abandoned
the study of these phenomena is that
recently I sent for the famous medium,
Eusapia, from Naples, with the object
of studying at my own house the re-
narkable manifestations, like those of
Home produced by that woman.
myself took instantaneous photographs
of a table of which the four legs were
raised some fifteen or twenty centime-
tres from the floor, AS these phenom-
ena took place at my house, you may
be sure / lent myself to no sort of
trickery and that it is not on the NOR
row of the day when I witnessed such
experiments that l should abandon
spiritualistic researches. There are
many credulous eople whose illusions
I do not share.
Before leaving M. Flansmarion, M.
Bourges asked the astronomer what he
thought of the predictions of the end of
the world for the 18th of November
next. The astronomer declared that
on the night Of the 18th or 18th of Mo-
vember there would be nothing but
very abundant rain of falling stars
