The metallic reserve OF the Bank OF
France amounts to 100000 900 francs,
only enough TO pay interest on govern

be dangerous to begin the depletion of
this greatest single guaranty Of

tinue building up this gold backing; as
last year, when 25,000,00 francs were
added to reduce the fduciary circula-

Student Believes Ancient Al

By the Associated Press,

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 14.-It
seems quito possible that the great
secret of the ancient alchemist-the
nature Of "flrst matter"-is the ecto-
plasm of the modern spiritist, said 8.
Foster Damon, graduate student at
Harvard University, in an interview.
Mr. Damon was named by Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle in q lecture in New
York as the man who had established
the fact that the a1chemists were IA
miliar with ectoplasm, described by
spirttualists as combination OF mat
ter and ether emanating from the
bodies Of mediums, which makes pos
sible spirit manifestation.
Explaining that he was speaking
only of the results of literary re-
search, Mr.. Damon said he had never
personally seen the material and had
never attended a seance, but that
study Of the writings Of the alehe-
mists had convinced him that the an
clients were familiar with ectoplasm.
There Is striking parallel be-
tween the experiments OF the modern
spiritists and the aishemists: MI; Mr;
the alchemists were really attempting

That alchemy was concerned with
physical things Is obvious since
modern chemistry developed from 1t.
On the other hand. the alchemists
were certainly concerned with meta
physics.
"The great secret Of the alchemists
centered about substance which
they commonly called the .flrst mat
ter or mercury To hnd this sub
stance. which they distinguished from
common mercury, was the first and
most important step In their art"

us to believe that 1t was anything in

children and the evidence showed
that Mrs. Moran had secured q d.
