THE BRIGHT MESSENGER By Aigerno

THE BRIGHT MESSENGER ~ Algernou
Bisckwood E- r. Daston 6 Co 81.
II VEN the present orgy of solemn
M% spirituaiism chaperoned by Sir
h Oliver Lodge and Sir Conan
Doyle can hardly restore
witches and presumptuous ghosts to
the estate OF honor these visitants once
owned among the credolous Eliza
bethans. Superstitioas peasants and
no less superstitious scientists may
continue to call spirits from the vasty
deep into the darkened searces of IL
literate mediums; but the world, for
all the legacy of belief imposed by the
angels OF Mons and other supernai
portents, will scarcely renew it's tim
orous obeisances before ghosts that
walk, gypsies that stammer oracular
prophecies, and houses that clank with
the energetic bones of the uneasy dead
None the less, not all this conspfr-
acy of scientists and mediums. working
in obscure collusion, can force the
modern man or woman into chat seal
of horror which the witches in Mac
beth" or the Gothic School OF Terror
was once able to set upon a shuddery
populace. More than fifty years Of
scientific determination have showed
the outlands of belief over the very
edge of the world into the voodoo par
lors of Hayti and Los Angeles. 1t may
even be doubted If Poe is read with
thrills and gloom by any one except
adolescent schoolboys and college pro-
fessors. With time his green light Of
stage horror has paIed to garish
melodrama. For all the determined
effort of critics to stamp Poe as a def
mite genius anyone who rereads sin
cerely "The Fall OF the House Of
Usher" can not escape the pedantry of
the style and the hollow length of the
plot. If they are to invoke even the
suspension of disbelief modern stories
Of the eccentric must plumb the sub
liminal and the subconscious. The
ghosts wither in their malodorous dun
geons, their bones rot in the revealing
sunlight of common sense, and sinister
sable cats. once the familiars IF
witches and demons, faunt blue rib
bons and purr on the cushions of the
aristocracy.
Of course, any reference TO the lit
erature of the supernatural at once
summons up the names of Poe and
Hoffman, in open defiance of the really
great ghost stories written in the last
fifty years. Even if we admit the high
capacity of these two literary witch
doctors, we must also admit that their
peculiar and special powers no longer
belong to the world of our own CON
sciousness. Antique dungeons and
yammering devils no longer quicken
the soul to terror Is any word in the
language of less strength than "fiend-
ish"? Hoffman, and Poe stand in dan
ger of literary fetichism. How many
of the critics who refer so blandly to
Hoffmann's genius have read the whole
dull sentimental length of Die Sera-
pionsbruder" How many of the re-
viewers who drag in LeFanu have at
tempted the fashioned dullness of
Uncle Silas"? No one expects a col
lege textbook to get beyond Poe and
perhaps Kipling; but from responsible
critics one may demand more than q
casual acquaintance with the best work
in the supernatural of Henry James,
