Maeterlinck Essays
B c | gi a n Philosopher
Accepts Occult Science

MOUNTAIN PATHS. BY Maurice Mae
tcrlincis. Translated b. Alexander NeiN
era de Alattos. Published hs bold
"Mountain Faths,' Macterlinck's lat
est volume. prompts the coarse retlec-
ton that he is stiil doing business at
the old stand. These essays, written
Maeterlinck curiously unaffected by
the world he has MVcd in There Is
something disturbing in the mechan-
zeal way in which the characteristic
attitudes Of the Maeterllnck mind re
produce themselves in these ESSAYS.
He is symbohcal about the good and
the beautiful, he is again the charm
ingly obserVant philosopher Of the in
sect and animal world, and he looks
mYSticallY over the RIM of the world
into eternity.
1t was perhaps to have been ex-
pcctcd IN The natural settling process
of things, that his mysticism should
deepen into a belief in occult science.
At any rae. he no longer founders in
the halfway region OF mystiyism he
has found in Hindu transcendentalism
a shelter for the philosophic spccula-
tlons on eternity and death, chance and
destiny, the spiritual searchings of
man that ne has been building up since
the days of "Thc Blue Bird" His own
theory, presented in "The Betrothal,"
that our descendants as Wei as our an
ccStors are potent and active III us,
finds a wide niche in the Hindu doc
trlnc OF reincarnations. There is al
ready about him the aura Of revelation,
the fixed attitude Of an initiate Of an
csOteric cult.
1t is extraordinary that the three
essays in the book which reflect the
war directly are very commonplace in
deed One is a literal and unimpas-
stoned transcription of German bar
barltles, another is a vague reflection
on the mass soul Of nations, and the
third, on the grief Of mothers, is
scarcely more than an echo of one OF
his best flashes of insight.
1t has always been Inherent in the
attitude that the vast pri-
mordial fables Of the past or dizzying
fights into intinity held the secrets of
reality never the moving and urgent
present. 1t is not extraordinary that
four years of such strange events have
turned no new furrows in his mind.
The feeling grows more and more
pressing that this fixed. bland seronity
S not so much steadfastncss to an
nner light as an insensltiVeness to the
stress of living.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE large
coal mining properties Of Crawford and
Cherokee counties tonight passed into
the control of the state of Kansas,
when the State Supreme Court issued
orders and named receivers for the
properties.
The action followed the filing Of quo

The court order affects approximately
15O mines in the Pittsburgh district,
state officials said, which comprise
about 50 per cent of the coal produc-

age daily production of the mines af-
fected is said to be $4,000 tons. Gov
