True Stories of Apparitions.
The question of apparitions is closely
connected with that of telepathy Most
Of the best recorded instances of appar-
iuons are those which take place at the
moment of death when what appears to
be the actual person of the dying appears
to a friend or lover a some distance. Such
appaTtions have always occurred ana
continually occur. 1t is one point upon
which the testimony of the human race
Is absolutely uniform, and the carefully
recorded instances noted in the portly vel
| umes of the proceedings of the Physical
Research Society sufficiently attest the
reality of the phenomena, which the ig-
norant and supersutious regard as a rea-
son for idle derision or foolish fear

absolutely no doubt as TO the reality of

of the laws of this strange phenomenon
than l can profess to do, that mind is
capable of fashioning for itself a thought

l will conclude this paper by quoting
narrative which reached me from a cor
respondent in India, in whose good faith
I have every reason to believe The story
is as follows:
IAN engine-driver on our line died sud
denly the other day through a sudden
stoppage of the hearts action presum-
ably heart disease and, as the doctor
stated. brought on through extensive use
of alcohol This driver died at Bulsar, a
distance of 12ila miles from the Bombay,
Raroda and Central India Railways ter
minus, and from Parel where he resided,
1882 miles. AS a general rule drivers adopt
a system of having double set of bed
ding and pillows, etc. so that at the end
of their run they retire to the running
room and get their meals or rest until
they have TO return with another engine
or train to Bombay. This driver, therefore,
like the remainder had a bed here cat
PareD and one at Bulsar, so that every
thing would be clean and comfortable on
his arrival on the morning of his sudden
demise he arrived at the running room at
BuIsar. and ordering something to be pre-
pared for a meal, went to lie down. lie

The dead mans brother, who works
in the running she'd at Parel, received
telegram informing him of his broth

noon he went off home to the house
where both brothers lodged. The broth
