THE VISIONS OF SWEDEN

BORG.
BY H. Addington Bruce.

through busy London thoroughfare,
paused for moment to follow with
their eyes third, whom they had
greeted, but who had passed without
so much as glance In their direc-
ton. The face of one betrayed cha
grin; but the other smiled amusedly.
"You must not mind, dear fellow"
said he; "that is only Swedenborg 5
way, as you will discover when you
know him better. His feet are on
the earth; but for the moment his
mind is in the clouds, pondering some
solution to the wonderful problems
he has set himself, marvellous man
that he is"
"Yet," objected the other, Che
seems such a thorough man Of the
world, so finely dressed, so courtly as
a rule in speech and manner"
''He is man of the world, a true
cosmopolitan" was the quick re-
sponse. 81 warrant few are so wide
ly and so favorably known. He is as
much at home in London, Paris, Ber-
lin, Dresden, Amsterdam, or Copen-
hagen as in his native city of Stock
holm. Kings and queens, grand danes
and gallant wits, statesmen and SOL
diers, scientists and philosophers, find
pleasure in his society. He can meet
all on their own ground, and to all
he has something fresh and interest
ing to say. But he is nevertheless,
and above everything else, dream
er."
ga dreamer?"
"Aye. They tell me that he viii
not rest content until he has found
the seat of the soul in man. Up
through mathematics, mechanics, min
eralogy, astronomy, chemistry, even
physiology, has he gone, mastering
every science III turn, until he is now
perhaps the most learned man in
Europe. But his learning satisfies
him not whit, since the soul still
eludes him-and eludes him, mark
you, despite month upon month of
toll in the dissecting room. If the
study of anatomy fails him, I know
not where he will next turn. For
my part, fancy he need not looG
beyond the stomach. The wonder Is
that his own stomach has not given
him the clue ere this; for, metaphy-
sician though he be, he enjoys the
good things of earth"
The Riddle of the Universe.
He was, as the gossip had put in,
In the clouds, intent on the riddles his
learning had rendered only the more
complex, riddles having to do with
the nature of the universe and with
mans place in the universe. Nor did
he rouse himself from his meditations
until the door Of the inn had closed
behind him and he found himself in
its common room. Then he became
the Emanuel Swedenborg of benig-
nifty, geniality, and courtesy, the Swe-
denborg whom all men loved.
81 am going to my room," said he
to the inn-keeper, in charming,
broken English, "and 1 want to be

lence. Again the envelOping dark
ness-frogs, toads, snakes, faded in
It's depths-and with returning light
Swedenborg was once more alone in
the room.
Small wonder that the remaining
hours of the day were spent in fruit
less cogitation Of this weird and dis
agreeable experience which far trans
cended metaphysician's s normal ken.
Nor is it surprising to find him naive
ly admitting that "tbis unexpected
event hastened my return home. :"
Imagination can easily round out the
picture-the rising in terror, the
overturning of the chair, the seizing
OF cooked hat and gold-headed cane,
the few explanatory words to the as
tonished innkeeper, the hurried de-
parture, and the progress, perchance
at a more rapid gait than usual, to
the sleeping quarters in another Sec
ton of the town. Arrived there, safe
in the refuge Of his commodious bed
room,. sage argument would follow
In the effort to attain persuasion that
the terrifying vision had been but
"the effect of accidental causes" Be
sure, though, that our philosopher,
dreading return Of the specter if he
permitted food to pass his lips, would
go hungry to bed that night.
That night-more visions. To the
wakeful, restless, perturbed Sweden
borg, the same figure appeared, this
time without snakes or frogs or toads,
and not in darkness, but in the midst
of great white light that filed the
bed chamber with a wonderful radi-
ance. Then voice spoke:
am God the Lord, the Creator
and Redeemer Of the world. / have
chosen thee to lay before men the
spiritual sense Of the Molly Word.
| will teach thee what thou art to
write"
An Astounded Investigator.
Slowly the light faded, the figure
disappeared. And now the astounded
philosopher, his amazement growing
with each passing moment, found HIM
self transported, as it seemed, to an
other wOrld-the world of the dead.
Men and women of his acquaintance
greeted him as they had been wont to
do when on earth, pressed about him,
eagerly questioned him. Their faces
still wore the familiar expressions of
kindliness, anxiety, sincerity, i'll will,
as the case might be. In every way
they appeared to be still numbered
among the living. They were clad in
the clothes they had been accustomed
to wear, they ate and drank, they
lived in houses and towns. The
philosophers among them continued
to dispute, the clergy to admonish,
the authors to write.
But, his perception charging, Swe-
denborg presently discovered that
this was in reality only an interme-
date state Of existence; that beyond
it at the one end was heaven and at
the other hell, to one or the other of
which the dead ultimately gravitated
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28

and to hell likewise. What he saw
he has set down in many bulky vol
umes, than which philosopher has
written none more strange.
With the return of daylight it
might seem that he would be prompt
to dismiss all memory Of these pecu-
liar experiences as fantasies Of sleep.
But he was satisfied that he had not
slept; that on the contrary he
had been preternaturally conscious
throughout the long, eventful night.
In solemn retrospect he retraced his
past career. He remembered that for
some years he had had symbolic
dreams and symbolic Authorizations
as of golden key, tongue Of fame,
and voices-which had at the time
bafled his understanding, but which
he now interpreted as premonitory
warnings that God had set him apart
for great mission. He remembered,
too, that when still a child his mind
had been engrossed by thoughts of
God, and that in talking with his
parents he had uttered words which
caused them to declare that the an
gels spoke through his mouth. Re-
membering all these things, he could
no longer doubt that divinity had
actually visited him in his humble
London boarding house, and he made
up his mind that he must bestir him
self to carry out the divine command
of expounding to his fellow men the
hidden meaning of Holy Writ.
Forthwith, being still fired with the
true scientists passion for original
research, he set himself to the task
Of learning Hebrew. He was, it will
be remembered, approaching sixty, an
age when the acquisition Of a new
language is exceedingly difficult and
rare. Yet such progress did he make
that within a very few months he
was writing notes in explanation of
the book Of Genesis. And thus he
continued not for months, but
years, patiently traversing the entire
Bible, and at the same lime carefully
committing to paper everything "seen
and heard" in the spiritual world;
for his London excursion beyond the
borderland which separates the here
from the hereafter had been only the
first of similar journeys taken not
merely by night, but in broad day
light. To use his own phraseology;
"The Lord opened daily, very often,
my bodily eyes; so that in the middle
Of the day could see into the other
world, and in state of perfect wake
fulness converse with angels and
spirits"
His increasing absorption-absent-
mindedness, his friends. would call
this habit of falling into frances,
and his claim to interworld commu.
nication, could not fail to excite the
surprise of all who had known him
as scientist and philosopher. But
these vagaries, as people deemed
them, met the greater liberation be-
cause of the evident fact that they
did not dim his intellectual powers
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28

omy. Returning to Sweden to as
sumo the duties of assessor of mines.
he speedily proved that he was no
mere theorizer, his inventive genius
enabling the warlike Charles XII. to
transport overland galleys and sloops
for the siege of Frederikshald, sea
passage being barred by hostile fleets.
EnnObled for this feat, he plunged
with ardor into the complicated prob
lens OF statecraft, problems rendered
the more difficult by the economic
distress In which Charles's wars had
involved his kingdom. Here again he
attained distinction.
But always the problems Of science
and philosophy claimed his chief de-
Votlon. From the study of stars and
minerals he passed to the contempla-
ton of other marvels of nature as re-
vealed in man himself. And now be-
hold him turned chemist, anatomist,
Psychologist, and psychologist, and re-
peating in these fields of research his
former triumphs. Still, indomitable
man, he refused to stop. He would
press on, far beyond the confines Of
what his generation held to be the
movable. "The end of the Senses"
to quote his own words, sis that God
may be seen." He would peer into
the mnermost recesses Of mans be-
ing, to discern the soul Of man, may
hap to discern God himself.
His Humanity Bulked Large.
But, if he was scientist and meta
physician, he was also human, and
that pleasant April afternoon the hu-
manity in him bulked large when he
finally turned from the window and
took his seat at the bountifully heap
ed table. He was, as he had told the
innkeeper, very hungry, and he ate
with zest that abundantly confirmed
his statement, How pleasant the
odors from this dish or that--how
agreeable the flavor Of everything!
Surely he had never enjoyed meal
more, and surely he was no longer Sin
the clouds -; but was instead recall
ing lively "reminiscences of his doings
In one and another of the gay capt.
tails Of Europe! There would be not
a little to bring a twinkle of de-
light to his beaming eyes, not little
to soften his scholastic lips into
gentle smile. And so, in solitary
state, he ate and drank, with nothing
to warn him Of the impending ard
momentous change that was to shape
anew his career and his viewpoint.
Conceive his astoniShment, there
fore, when his dinner still unfinished,
he felt a strange languor creeping
over him, and mysterious obscurity
dimming his eyes. Conceive, further,
his horror at sight of the floor about
him covered with frogs and toads
and snakes and creeping things. And
picture, finally, his amazement wher,
the darkness that enveloped him sud
denly clearing, he beheld a man sit
ting in the far corner of the room
and eying him, as it seemed, reproach-
fullV even disdainfullv

THREATENS EXISTENCE
OF NY. CURB MARKET

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-The existence
Of the New York curb market. in Broad
street. Is threatened IN a writ Of man
damus issued by Supreme Court Justice
Brady. The writ is directed against
Police Commissioner Bingham. He is
directed 10 appear before the supreme
court on August 30 and explain why the
nuisance" is not abated. James A. AL
len. a lawyer, of 80 Wall street, Is tae
petitioner.
Mr.. Allen in his petition denounces the
curb market as a public nuisance, claim
ing it is little better than a gambling
house.
The disposition of the matter viii be
watched with keen interest IN the fnan-
cial district owing to the fact that the
market owes its existence to the bust
ness it received from the members of tae
New York stock exchange.
The removal Of the curb market from
the street will take away from the
financial district an institution that has
been an object of no little interest to the
sightseer, and which has associations
with almost every other Institution in
the district The market was first start
ed n. front of the Mills building. over
TWENTY-FIVE years ago, when It's trading
was limited to a few hundred shares OF
bank stock daily. Later the market
was conducted in a room Of the Mills
building, but the members preferred the
open street, and the location was then
changed TO the present site, which Is
TOped in during market hours, and Tor
which the brokers pay no rent TO the
