SCIENCE ANi- HE MEDIUMS Facts Ones Held to.Be Miracles, But -'iafl Conceded by Modern Thought,' Spiritualism Is the successor of1 the mediaeval occultism nnd of the older magic. To-day science, without accept-'.ng accept-'.ng Its manifestations, studies them; and in these troubled waters almost all the facts upon which tho new meta-physics meta-physics Is founded have been fished up. Like mngnctUm, says Vnnco Thomp-son Thomp-son In Everybody's, it has drawn the attention of physicians to the phenom-na phenom-na of induced sleep nnd has given many of tho date for the study ol hypnosis nnd suggestion. Tho mediums, who bellovo, llko tho unclont pytho-nosscs, pytho-nosscs, that they aro posaossod by foreign spirits, hnvo served for tho study of tho change of personality nnd ,JH tolopathy. And It has Bhown thnt tho prodigies, diabolic and divine, record-od record-od In nil early religions woro not so' fabuloua as tho critical fancied. At nil oventB science admits that there is a force call It psychic aa Crookes docs, ncurlc with Baretz, vital with Baraduc, or tho odlc forco of Rclchonbrnch a force which can bo measured nnd described, which leaves Its mark on tho photographic plats, fl which emanates from every living be-Ing, be-Ing, which acts at a dlstnnco, which saves or destroys. Pinto knew It. sH Great wizards llko Cardan made uao of It. The charltnns like Cngllostro blundered upon it. Tho scientists havo tho last word. What definite facts has science nc-quired? nc-quired? Tho change of personality; that Is classic now. The ovldonce for telepathy Is Indubitable. That may seem a bold statement; It Is n com-monplaco com-monplaco for those who aro In touch with tho latest experiments of tho metaphyslc clinics. Only a few years ago beforo Pasteur camo it would have been deemed sheer Idiocy to talk of studying typhoid fever or cholera or erysipelas In a laboratory. Telepathy is an acquired certainty as much aa Harvey's theory of tho circulation of the blood, which threo ncodemlos of physicians declared impossible. And tho explanation of the strango phenomenn: Are they hints and In-stlgatlons In-stlgatlons from another world tho in-terventlon in-terventlon of spirits of the dead., of nngelB or demons? This Is the opln-ion opln-ion held by almost all tho sects of the occult, those who worship In the hun-dred hun-dred and one little religions of mystl-1 clsm. Science does not go quite so far. It declares: 1. There exist in nature certain un known forces cnpable of acting of matter. (This covors all the objective phe-nomena phe-nomena of metaphysics, such as the transport of bodies from one place to another, luminosity, etc.) 2. Wo possess other means of know tng than those of reason or the senses. (This appltes to the subjective phe-nomena phe-nomena of metaphysics, Including tele-pathy, tele-pathy, second sight, clairvoyance.)
