WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Carmen is to marry.
Not the real Carmen, of course. for she
never existed, except in a novel and in an
opera; but Calve, the cantatrice, who has
made herself the Incarnation of that crea-
ton.
The party Of the second part is Jules Bots
a gentleman of France, and incidentally q
eorcerer.
Yes. indeed, NJ. Bots is a professor of
Satanism, and that, as you may or may no
know, is to the imaginative, a sacrilege, to
the unimaginative. a stupidity, to alenists
a form of dementia, but which, however re-
garded, is a practice that had many ad.
herents in the past and possesses more to-
day.
Succinctly defined. or as succinctly as we
know how to define, Satanism is the art
the black art-of propitiating the Very Low
and obtaining whatever you wish.
How adept the gentleman of France must
be is manifest in these nuptials. For. as
obviously as two and two make four, it is
clear that only sorcery could have enabled
him to win the elusive hand of the singer.
A practice so propitious must have its
merits.
If We may believe everything we read.
and, writing az we do, that Is not at all
easy, these merits have appealed to minds
more credulous perhaps than our own, but
certainly better furnished. Among others,
they appealed 10 Roger Bacon.
There you have a scholar who knew
pretty much all that was going and a good
deal that was not.
He knew. for instance. that the world In
which he lived-and occasionally lied-was
passing poor.
What is more to the point, he knew that
there had been ar epoch when the world
was Just the reverse.
He knew the monarchs that were built
at will. cities fairer than the uplands
of dream. palaces more luminous than the
twelve signs Of the Zodiac. and, with them,
gardens that were ~shimmering retrospects
of paradise.
Roger Bacon's knowledge was surprising
but not universal.
He did not know that the value Of the
treasure heaped on the pile of one Of these
monarchs amounted to eighty-four thou
! sand millions of our money, which, to be
less precise and more graphic. Is a sum but
slightly inferior to the total wealth Of this
country.
Roger Bacon did not know that, for the
excellent reason that no one else did until
It was recently demonstrated. But he sus-
pected It, and, suspecting, wondered what
magic created the wealth that had been.

evolved the familiar nursery story.
Yet. though efforts of this kind culmi-
mated in that reptile. new devices were
shortly elaborated. Since Satan would not
be beguiled 1t was argued that the public
might be gulled.

promoter emerged and presently a syndicate

dangers. pains and penalties incident to
diabolism.
Over a promise so modest the world went
crazy. When the bubble burst there stood
John Law offering shares in the Mississippi
swindle.
Again the world went crazy.
The stock that Law offered, and of which
he had enough and to spare. was inflated to
a value ninety and nine times greater than
that of all the money in France. Then the
puncturing process came and the stock was
SO much waste paper.
Coincidentally. there was the South Sea
scheme. In the antique, Praise of Folly,
and even in modern praise OF A~malgamated
Copper. there is nothing equal to the alacri-
ty with which the lambs offered them
selves up to that slaughter.
These devices were certainly devilish.
Clearly they could not have been effected
without Internal assistance. but they had
the merit of knocking the laundering ar.i-
fees of Bluebeard silly. They had a
further merit.
Their success showed that to become an
adept in the art of extracting something
out of nothing, Satan was not necessary.
The one thing requisite was brains. Given
but that and you could get rich in a jify.
Such is progress.
Before the advantages OF this method
were as apparent as they are now Bunyan
described a resort that he called Vanity
Fair, where, as he put 1t, at all times are
to be seen cheats. fools. apes, knaves and ]
rogues of every kind.
In one of the booths at that Fair was a |

draws the car to the train.
The incline for the elevated railroad has
a double track. one track being wider than
the other. The one leading to the top OF
the platform is the widest. The car accom-
ilishes this ascent through a double pair
of set wheels.

WRITTEN FOE THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
Alexander F. Goodefroy Of st. Louis. a
Frenchman and ind~efatigable student Of
railroading. is the inventor of a Switches
car dispatching method. for which extensive
patents have been granted to him.
The basis of his new device is none other
than the common principle of gravity. the
same as that by which trains are switched
in the new East St Louis Terminal yards.
Only MIR. Goofroy's invention is on an al
most limitless scale.
Only Mr.. Goodefroy claims the following for
his invention:
/. To change cars without switching.
2. To change track without automatic
switching.
3. To couple and uncouple at full speed.
