 By CAMILLE FLAMMARION Founder of the Astronomical Society of France and Author of Many Popular

 PARIS, March 27.-The ancients, generally considered the narrative of Pliny, as serious truth. !, To deny it would be difficult. It is story that was widely current and believed in its time in Athens and in Rome, where Athenodorus himself was known. The Christians of that time believed but looked upon it as an intervention of the devil. The eighteenth century mocked at it, too, but today we Know that there is something at the bottom of such a story.
 For the moment, let us say, admitting that Athenodorus saw the phantom, as many other Athenians said they saw it, that even the philosophers seeing it would not prove the spectre real-of flesh and bones, or rather of bones only, with chains-nevert theless it would prove that the dead man acted upon the spirit
