Nr. Chanler Talks of Agt aud .Sczemce

The man who had escaped laughed boy ishly and pushed his hat back from his forehead.
 Every one must have read how I es- capped, so there is nothing more to be said about that he said. My attorneys made statement that covered it all and gave it to the papers,
 MT. Chanler laughed again, unaccounta- bly, as 1t seemed at first, but he explain ed:
 "I was thinking how I scooped the pa- pers-three times. First, with my en- gagement, then with my divorce, and last with my escape. Each time I waited un- til was quite ready to have the matter announced, and then I gave it to them myself. Miss Rives and I had been en- gagged long time before 1t suited us to announce it, and then I sent the an- nouncement to the papers myself and surprised them.
 Speaks of His Divorce.
 '1t was the same about our divorce. A long time before we had found ourselves incompatible and decided to disagree. We parted with mutual respect. I waited until divorce proceedings were about to

chology with occultism. He thinks the discoveries in experimental psychology and the manifestations in spiritualism and theosophy are the same. Now that is absurd. I don't accept occultism deny everything taught under Its name The manifestations as writing, for in stance, which they attribute to spirit powers, are all scientific, and can be ex- plained on scientific grounds
 For instance, I can write and have written such things as Mrs. riper, of Bos- ton, has done, and as are claimed by some-I don't know that she makes the claim, mind you, but some make it for her-is done by spirit power. I do exact ly the same thing and call 1t graphic automatism. What corresponds to their hearing what they say in the voices of the departed I call vocal autima tism' have nothing but contempt for the occult as sucn. The teachings are all poppycock Mme Blavatsky was a very clever wom- an, but the greatest fraud of the century But am straying from the subject and it isn't safe for man like me to wander when he Is under observation"
 his eyes twinkled misohievously. n am quite used to being studied, he said.
 The point I meant to make was that l had to seclude myself in order to make these psychological experiments. A man cannot make them if he is in the midst of noise and distractions. I left New York and came down here where I might be free from Interruptions. I stayed at Merry Mills, my place at Keswick four or five weeks. When people became in- quisitive I told them as we'll as I could about my experiments.
 Events proved that my explanations had been too technical. When returned to New York I didn't stay long, I was sent to Bloomingdale for my mental health.
 Tt cost me four years, six months and eight days of my life, the time I spent in Bloomingdale, this talking technically to laymen. I shall avoid technicalities ex- cept with psychologists.

 'The last was the best, because their suspense lasted so long, and they had be- gun to think I was dead"
 Again MT. Chanler laughed with boyish heartiness

 And. it isn't true"-here he laughed once more-"that regret about differences with my former wife sent me to Bloom- ingdale. It was something quite differ ent."
 "What?"
