Flanmarion on the Soul

Camille F1ammarion has begun the
publication of a series of books intended
to prove the existence Of the soul and
Its survival after the death. The first
to appear Is Death and Its Mystery"
CThe Century Co... In which he devotes
himself to an exposition Of the proofs
OF the existence Of the soul. He finds
them. among others. in telepathy anu
clairaudience and clairvoyance. He
cites numerous instances of communica-
tion between individuals without the
Intervention of any known material me :
dunn and other instances of knowl-
edge Of things happening at a distance
at the time they were happening. lie
insists that these phenomena establish
the fact that man Is something more
than a mere material organism that
there is in his body a something, call
1t what you will, that is superior to It's
physical limitations. He announces at
the conclusion Of the volume that 'it
proves the existence Of the human soul
independently of the bodily organism :"
and he says that 'in this, it seems TO
me, we have acquired fact of the very
highest importance for the whole doc.
trine Of philosophy" Many persons
who have faith In the existence of the
soul and its immortality will not be
satisfied with the proofs adduced by
this French astronomer. and 1t Is not,
likely that those who deny the souls
existence will be satisfied either. The
most that he has done Is to summarize
a lot OF incidents which cannot be ex-
planned in the ordinary manner.

NOTABLE BOOKS

Ne,o Names for Old Things

DR.. David Orr Edison is a psyche
as,nmaiyst who has written a book called
eettng What We Want" (Harpers)
IN which he tells how by applying the
principles OF the new science he has
shown many, persons the way out of
their perplexities. The mind, he says, is
q machine that acts in accordance with
the laws OF its being. This is another
way OK saying what the old theologians
meant when they wrote OF predestinn-
tion and foreordination. They believed
that the course Of every man had been
hfed In advance OF his birth and that
ne was doomed to heaven or hell. DR..
Edison says substantially the same thing,
but In terms Of psychology rather than
OF theology. The hell which he says
people find. although he does not call It
by that name, envelops them when
they are trying to do those things for
which the machine he calls their mind
is not lifted; or when they find some
thing lacking In their life which some
part of the machine Graves. The queru-
lous, fault finding wife Is suffering from

fed by frequent compliments from her
husband she will be cured and become
amiable. There are some husbands who
viii not agree that it is so simple as nil

there are exceptions. His book Is an

What Interests Bennett

a lot of things besides writing fiction
seemingly interest Arnold Bennett on
the evidence of the varied contents of
his newest book, Things That Have
Interested Me" (Doran). Most of them,
quite in line with the principle that
interests spread extensively lose in in
tensiveness and tend to the superficial
rather than the mastered, apparently
interest him in much casual or tan
genital way. Mostly. the subjects in
this book interest Mr.. Bennett as just
that-subjects for it is obviously a
journalistic compilation of pieces pre-
pared In the routine of a busy man of
letters and the press. Sometimes his
observations are acute and shrewdly
projected; but often they are simply the
making of so much copy as part of a
routine. At any rate the couple Of score
of papers collected In this form make
readable reading, with an occasional
thought chucked in to boot. Among the
topics are opera. the theatre (including
what Is wrong with it,. tailoring, pro-
hibition pro and con; fistiana, Russia,
housekeeping and sex equality.

High Romance

Canardin, the daring. droll and deli
cious hero Of Burton Kline's romance
of hazards, humors and sentiments,
THE Gallant Rogue out today from
the presses Of Little Brown, is an en-
gaging complex of Robin Hood and
Raffes. Not that this adventurous and
chivalrous philanthropist- -brigand is i'm
itated by either or even suggested by
them; but he Is of their comradcship Of
bravado, fearlessness, astuteness and
capacity for altruism.
One feels that, all things being con-
sidered, there is no taint Of criminality
in Canardin. He is Just robustious and
romantic-an adjuster Of difficulties and
misfits in an easily romantic age, after
his own fashion and code. The first
thief of France" he Is called. but there
is nothing reprehensible about him as
Mr.. Kline has conceived him and pro-
jected him. No wonder. then, he Is the
idol of half the land, which is filled with
laughter and admiration, for he does
what he does so neatly and 30 fently,
and his motive Is SO laudabIe and his
way so valiant. that either in adventure
or in love the reader will follow Canar-
din with zestful interest and many a
thrill with still others ahead on the
horizon of suspense.
Mr.. Kline has written deftly and
convincingly high romance that is ro-
nance with an air and many graces.
However. "The Gallant Rogue with its
picturesque and picturesque hero. its in
triguing heroine. its novel and exciting
situations, Is not historical novel.
But there Is authenticity in it's ham
ding Of atmosphere and description
without decorative or affected period
historicity. 1t is a story of plot and
action with incessant movement and the
movement Is always forward. Written
to entertain, it completely achieves en- =
tertainment.

hooks AND AUTHORS
r. a.. Readers Of the Ledger,


So strange and priceless a
commodity is a book that for
Years the shrewdest of adver-
tising men who have waged
huge publicity campaigns on
"sboes and Ships" or Sealing
wax" even on "Kings," have
been at a loss to discover a way
TO promote the habit OF read
ing. We, too, are bewildered,
but of one thing we are sure
the readers of the Philadelphia
Ledger cannot care greatly for
The usual book notices, which
are often as monotonous and
informing as those cards in
country newspapers which give
the name and address and
hours of the local doctor and
dentist and lawyer. At least,
they have little more of allure.
Our humble endeavor there
fore will be to give you each
week little intimate glimpses
or close-ups of our new books
in a chatty and not too serious
way, through the informal
channel of this column. We are
hoping that you will take to it,
that you will like this simplest
of methods, and also that you
will tell us whenever you think
we fail in our purpose. We will
welcome complaints as quickly
and eagerly as concentrations.
It is fortunate that we are able
to launch this column with a new
and remarkable book,
