According to it's alleged author, of whom little
nothing is known the word yoga means fixing or
concentrating the mind in abstract meditation, and
the means of mental concentration eight in
number the last most exalted state being that of
profound meditation religious trance But yoga
is also continuance for getting rid of all thought,
and for the complete suppression of the passions.
This latter-vairagya it is styled-is obtained by
contemplation of the Supreme Being called ON, the
repetition of which nonosyllable is believed to pro-
duce astonishing results.)
Long before dawn the whole country for miles
around was in a state of confusion and uproar.
Pilgrims in thousands entering the city by
every road Within the city the beat of drums, the
clash of cymba1s as religious bodies passed onward
to the temple, inCessant. The city was densely
packed in every and the vendors of all sorts of
eatables-coffee, bread, meat, cakes, boiled rice
and fruts-fed the air with babel of noise as they
shouted their wares. A copper blazed down
from cloudless arch of blue
After a simple breakfast of wheat-cakes, fruit and
sugar went out and made way to the temple
We went early SO as to obtain point of vantage
We met at the gate by small group of priests,
friends of my friend who conducted us to a large
inclosed rectangular space, Sacred Square, it
really was which to be the scene of the
ceremony. Thousands of priests in streaming

white robes were already present,
and we had scarcely reached our
places when excitement among them
indicated an announcement of some
sort.
The Panama Hansa has reached
the foot of the mountain and is on his
way here" said my friend. Among
the yogis," he explained, there are,
as you know, eight orders or degrees
through which they have to pass The
great man who is coming has COM
pleted the eighth degree. To-day is his
final appearance before men. The rest
of his life will be sec1usion.
During the twenty minutes that
followed the noise and confusion con-

~ things | saw during
a residence of thirty
years in India, that land
of the mysterious and the
occult, the death. burial
and resurrection of a yogi
was the most remarkable.
The scene of the incident
was Hardwar, one of the
three principal sacred
cities of India, which lies
at the foot of the Hi
malayas where the sacred
river Ganges issues from the
mountains to the plains.
The holy festival of
Hardwar is held once in
twelve years and is of
such high Importance in
the minds of the devout
that it attracts an uncount-
able multitude of pilgrims
from all parts of India.
How many European eyes
have seen such a cere-
mony as the one described
/ do not know, but they
are certainly few. In order
to be present it was neces-
sary for me to be COM
pletely disguised as a Brah-
man gentleman, which
required the active aid of
an intimate friend, himself
a Brahman and a yogi of
high degree.
(By way of explanation,
let me say that yoga IS
the fourth of the six sys-
TENS of Hindu philosophy.
1t aims to teach the means
by which the human soul
may attain complete union
with the supreme soul,
even in the living body.

the apparent time-he was
as inert, as life1ess to all ap-
pearance, as a plaster cast.
A religious chant then
began, a chant to the word
"Om" which ended every
musical phrase short or
long. While the figure
stood silent and undis-
turbed the yogis marched
slowly three times round
the square, to this chant.
Then the three old men
approached the still figure
and gently loosed the
hand from the staff. Two
of them held it erect
while the third spread on
the ground a large white
cloth. Upon this, with
great tenderness, the body
was laid. The body had all
the appearance of death,
but was, of course, in
the state which we call
cataleptic, a state of hyp-
notism self-induced.

highest order then adj

narrow earthen trough

This was filled with melted

the body for burial They
wrapped it in many folds
of white muslin, and the
two ends were closely
fastened and wound with
white cord.

Energy Of Rauium.

Says Prof. G. Fl. Darwin: "Radiun
is a substance which is perhaps mill
ions of times more powerful than dyn.
amite. Thus IL Is estimated that an
ounce of radium would contain
enough power to raise 10000 tons a
mile above the earth's surface. An
other way OF stating the same esti'
mate is this The energy needed to
tow ship OF 10000 tons a distance
of 5000 sea miles at fifteen knots Is
