In fact, in Mr. Wallace’s reckoning, six thousand years are but as a day. He begins by complaining of the timidity of scientific men when treating of this subject, and points out the fallacy of always preferring the lowest estimate in order to be “on the safe side.” He declares that all the evidence tends to show that the safe side is probably with the large figures. He reviews the various attempts to determine the antiquity of human remains or works of art, and finds the bronze age in Europe to have been pretty accurately fixed at three to four thousand years ago; the stone age of the Swiss Lake dwellings at five to seven thousand years; “and an indefinite anterior period.” The burnt brick found sixty feet deep in the Nile alluvium indicates an antiquity of twenty thousand years; another fragment at seventy-two feet gives twenty thousand years. “A human skeleton found at a depth of sixteen feet below four buried forests, supposed upon each other, has been calculated by Dr. Dowler to nave an antiquity of fifty thousand years.” But all these estimates pale before those''' '''which Kent’s''' '''Cavern, at''' '''Torquay, legitimates.

Below this, however, we have a thick, much older, and more crystalline (''i.e''., more slowly formed) stalagmite, beneath which, again, “in a solid breccia, very different from the cave-earth, undoubted works of art have been found.” Mr. Wallace assumes only one hundred thousand years for the upper floor, and about two hundred and fifty thousand for the lower, and adds one hundred and fifty thousand for the intermediate cave-earth, by which he arrives at the “sum of half a million as representing the years that have probably elapsed since flints of human workmanship were buried la the lowest deposits of Kent’s Cavern.”<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-footer-footnotes}}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-footer-sources}}<br /> &lt;gallery widths=300px heights=300px&gt;<br /> spiritual_scientist_v.01_n.03_1874-09-24.pdf|page=3|Spiritual Scientist, v. 1, No. 3, September 24, 1874, p. 27<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px heights=200px&gt;<br /> SB-03-021-source-1.png|''Fig. 27—Youth'' — ''The Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated'', July 1874, p. 23.

M. Puiseux has communicated to the Academy of Sciences in France the conclusions based upon late observations of the transit at the Island of St. Paul and at Pekin. The solar parallax was given at 8&quot;.879, the remarkable feature of which is its exact correspondence with certain dimensions found in the great pyramid in Egypt, and which for a long time has been thought by astronomers and antiquaries to have been founded upon an extensive knowledge of astronomy possessed by the people who built that pyramid. Heretofore, among moderns, the solar distance has been estimated at two and three per cent. more than the recent investigations show it to be, and, of consequence, the dimensions in the pyramid did not closely accord. Now, the correction of the error in our calculation of the sun’s distance shows an almost perfect agreement. The conclusion from this goes to prove the height to which astronomical science had been carried at the period when the pyramids were constructed, whether four thousand years ago—which the Usher chronology asserts,—or from ten to twelve thousand years ago, as is believed to be more nearly in accordance with historical fact. Old readers of the {{Style S-Small capitals|Phrenological}} may recall an article on the “Pyramids of Egypt,” in which allusion was made to the learning of ancient Egyptians in the departments of engineering and astronomy; but it is not out of place to append the following interesting statements, which we find in the ''Scientific American'':<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Quote|“Several features in the Egyptian pyramids, especially the large one (that of Cheops), have long been a matter of surprise to scientific visitors; for instance, of having the sides of the square base exactly in the direction of the cardinal points of the compass — north, south, east, and west; of having the long tunnel leading from the side at the mouth obliquely down to the center of the pyramid, inclined under an angle exactly corresponding with the latitude under which the pyramid is placed, so that when looking from this center outward through this long hallway or tunnel, the polar star is always seen. This induced investigators to find more peculiarities having relation to astronomical data, and it was found that the pyramid abounded in these; for instance, the distance and size of the interior chambers, gangways, etc. At every step most curious relations were found, which certainly could not have been the result of accident.<br /> <br /> “The solar parallax means the angle under which the earth’s radius is seen from the sun. As we know the correct dimensions of our earth, it becomes a simple geometrical, or, rather, trigonometrical, question to find the distance: it is simply the problem to find the height of a very long triangle, of which the small base and opposite angle at the top are given. This angle at the top is the parallax-is, and if it be 8 seconds and 879 thousands, we have only to find the Sine of this angle, which will be to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to the distance of the sun. For very small angles the Sine is equal to the arc, and we have only to divide 8&quot;.879 (or, for simplicity sake, 8&quot;.88) into 360 × 60 × 60 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 380 × 3,600=&lt;/nowiki&gt;36&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; × 1,000 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 1,296 × 1,000 =&lt;/nowiki&gt; 1,296,000, the number of seconds contained in the whole circumference, and the quotient 145,946 shows the fraction of the circumference corresponding to the Sine of the arc of 8&quot;.88, and this is equal to &lt;nowiki&gt;2 × 3,1415926 ÷ 145946 = 0,00004305145;&lt;/nowiki&gt; accepting now the radius of the earth in round numbers as 8.950 miles, we have the proportion that the Sine of the earth's parallax is to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to its distance from the sun, or Sine &lt;nowiki&gt;8&quot;.88 : R = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; : solar distance, or &lt;nowiki&gt;0.00004305145 : 1 = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; to solar distance, we have therefore only to divide 3,95 by the decimal fraction 0.00004305145, which is equivalent to 3,950,000,000.000 ÷ 4305145 which gives 92,000,000 miles very nearly.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 2<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-2.png<br /> | image size = 400px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = Robbeti &amp; Edmonds SC<br /> | title = The Pyramids of Egypt<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 3<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-3.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 20–Malignant<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 4<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-4.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 21–Timidity and Terror<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 5<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-5.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 31–Dissipated–Sottish<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 6<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-6.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 22–Mirth<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 7<br /> | type = article<br /> | status = proofread<br /> | continues = <br /> | author = <br /> | title = Sayings of the Press<br /> | subtitle = <br /> | untitled = <br /> | source title = <br /> | source details = <br /> | publication date = <br /> | original date = <br /> | notes = In section &quot;Variety&quot;<br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Style S-Small capitals|The diakka}}. — In an editorial, “The Chicago Tribune” says, “The Diakka are bad spirits. Andrew Jackson Davis has found out all about them. According to his ponderous effusion on the subject, they are the beings who break dishes and tumble around furniture and tell outrageous lies and bring the shades of prominent dead men into disrepute by maliciously personation them. When George Washington sings ‘Hey-diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle,’ to a circle of awestruck geese, it is not George Washington, but a Diak (if that is the proper singuar of Jhe tribal name). When Benjamiti Franklin dances a jig and Charles Dickens writes an idiotic story and Keats raps out this wonderous couplet:<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Style P-Poem|poem=You are my queen,<br /> Loveliest I ever seen,—}}<br /> <br /> {{Style P-No indent|the Diakka are playing their pranks. These things might be suffered to pass without protest, since such glaring shams are readily delected ; but when the Diakkai carry a pail of dirty water into the yard and tip it over on the week’s wash, as they lately did in Milwaukee, or when they give the furniture in a house the St. Vitus dance at midnight, as they have just done in Sin Francisco, or when they pitched the whole contents of a china closed into one heap of debris, as they did near New Haven, Connecticut, a few years ago, — then it is time to complain. Yet even these evils are not the worst. If a New Orleans burglar is to be believed, he has a spirit in his employ, whom he described as ‘A very devil of a ghost! that will climb up any balcony in the city, crawl through any key-hole, and throw me down all the valuables, without so much as wakening a canary-bird.’ It is sufficiently appalling to think of a ‘devil of a ghost’ crawling through your key-hole without the added necessity of regarding him or it as a burglar. Of what avail are pistols against forms of thin air. You behold the elongate ghost half-way through the key-hole. You spring to clutch him. He vanishes with a blood curdling chuckle. The next moment, while you are absorbed in keeping the bed and bedding from going through the ceiling against which they are pounding, four pantaldons, containing pocket-book, safe-keys, etc., are dexterously whisked through the transom and the spirit, first dropping the water-pitcher on your head, disappears permanently, ‘The Religio-Philosophical Journal’ endorses the New Orlean burglar’story, and adds that the Diakka help the bandits of Itally and Mexico, and, in fact, the rogues of the world.

As we know the correct dimensions of our earth, it becomes a simple geometrical, or, rather, trigonometrical, question to find the distance: it is simply the problem to find the height of a very long triangle, of which the small base and opposite angle at the top are given. This angle at the top is the parallax-is, and if it be 8 seconds and 879 thousands, we have only to find the Sine of this angle, which will be to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to the distance of the sun. For very small angles the Sine is equal to the arc, and we have only to divide 8&quot;.879 (or, for simplicity sake, 8&quot;.88) into 360 × 60 × 60 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 380 × 3,600=&lt;/nowiki&gt;36&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; × 1,000 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 1,296 × 1,000 =&lt;/nowiki&gt; 1,296,000, the number of seconds contained in the whole circumference, and the quotient 145,946 shows the fraction of the circumference corresponding to the Sine of the arc of 8&quot;.88, and this is equal to &lt;nowiki&gt;2 × 3,1415926 ÷ 145946 = 0,00004305145;&lt;/nowiki&gt; accepting now the radius of the earth in round numbers as 8.950 miles, we have the proportion that the Sine of the earth's parallax is to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to its distance from the sun, or Sine &lt;nowiki&gt;8&quot;.88 : R = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; : solar distance, or &lt;nowiki&gt;0.00004305145 : 1 = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; to solar distance, we have therefore only to divide 3,95 by the decimal fraction 0.00004305145, which is equivalent to 3,950,000,000.000 ÷ 4305145 which gives 92,000,000 miles very nearly.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 2<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-2.png<br /> | image size = 400px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = Robbeti &amp; Edmonds SC<br /> | title = The Pyramids of Egypt<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 3<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-3.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 20–Malignant<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 4<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-4.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 21–Timidity and Terror<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 5<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-5.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 31–Dissipated–Sottish<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 6<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-6.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 22–Mirth<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 7<br /> | type = article<br /> | status = proofread<br /> | continues = <br /> | author = <br /> | title = Sayings of the Press<br /> | subtitle = <br /> | untitled = <br /> | source title = <br /> | source details = <br /> | publication date = <br /> | original date = <br /> | notes = In section &quot;Variety&quot;<br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Style S-Small capitals|The diakka}}. — In an editorial, “The Chicago Tribune” says, “The Diakka are bad spirits.

M. Puiseux has communicated to the Academy of Sciences in France the conclusions based upon late observations of the transit at the Island of St. Paul and at Pekin. The solar parallax was given at 8&quot;.879, the remarkable feature of which is its exact correspondence with certain dimensions found in the great pyramid in Egypt, and which for a long time has been thought by astronomers and antiquaries to have been founded upon an extensive knowledge of astronomy possessed by the people who built that pyramid. Heretofore, among moderns, the solar distance has been estimated at two and three per cent. more than the recent investigations show it to be, and, of consequence, the dimensions in the pyramid did not closely accord. Now, the correction of the error in our calculation of the sun’s distance shows an almost perfect agreement. The conclusion from this goes to prove the height to which astronomical science had been carried at the period when the pyramids were constructed, whether four thousand years ago—which the Usher chronology asserts,—or from ten to twelve thousand years ago, as is believed to be more nearly in accordance with historical fact.

M. Puiseux has communicated to the Academy of Sciences in France the conclusions based upon late observations of the transit at the Island of St. Paul and at Pekin. The solar parallax was given at 8&quot;.879, the remarkable feature of which is its exact correspondence with certain dimensions found in the great pyramid in Egypt, and which for a long time has been thought by astronomers and antiquaries to have been founded upon an extensive knowledge of astronomy possessed by the people who built that pyramid. Heretofore, among moderns, the solar distance has been estimated at two and three per cent. more than the recent investigations show it to be, and, of consequence, the dimensions in the pyramid did not closely accord. Now, the correction of the error in our calculation of the sun’s distance shows an almost perfect agreement. The conclusion from this goes to prove the height to which astronomical science had been carried at the period when the pyramids were constructed, whether four thousand years ago—which the Usher chronology asserts,—or from ten to twelve thousand years ago, as is believed to be more nearly in accordance with historical fact. Old readers of the {{Style S-Small capitals|Phrenological}} may recall an article on the “Pyramids of Egypt,” in which allusion was made to the learning of ancient Egyptians in the departments of engineering and astronomy; but it is not out of place to append the following interesting statements, which we find in the ''Scientific American'':<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Quote|“Several features in the Egyptian pyramids, especially the large one (that of Cheops), have long been a matter of surprise to scientific visitors; for instance, of having the sides of the square base exactly in the direction of the cardinal points of the compass — north, south, east, and west; of having the long tunnel leading from the side at the mouth obliquely down to the center of the pyramid, inclined under an angle exactly corresponding with the latitude under which the pyramid is placed, so that when looking from this center outward through this long hallway or tunnel, the polar star is always seen. This induced investigators to find more peculiarities having relation to astronomical data, and it was found that the pyramid abounded in these; for instance, the distance and size of the interior chambers, gangways, etc. At every step most curious relations were found, which certainly could not have been the result of accident.<br /> <br /> “The solar parallax means the angle under which the earth’s radius is seen from the sun. As we know the correct dimensions of our earth, it becomes a simple geometrical, or, rather, trigonometrical, question to find the distance: it is simply the problem to find the height of a very long triangle, of which the small base and opposite angle at the top are given. This angle at the top is the parallax-is, and if it be 8 seconds and 879 thousands, we have only to find the Sine of this angle, which will be to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to the distance of the sun. For very small angles the Sine is equal to the arc, and we have only to divide 8&quot;.879 (or, for simplicity sake, 8&quot;.88) into 360 × 60 × 60 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 380 × 3,600=&lt;/nowiki&gt;36&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; × 1,000 &lt;nowiki&gt;= 1,296 × 1,000 =&lt;/nowiki&gt; 1,296,000, the number of seconds contained in the whole circumference, and the quotient 145,946 shows the fraction of the circumference corresponding to the Sine of the arc of 8&quot;.88, and this is equal to &lt;nowiki&gt;2 × 3,1415926 ÷ 145946 = 0,00004305145;&lt;/nowiki&gt; accepting now the radius of the earth in round numbers as 8.950 miles, we have the proportion that the Sine of the earth's parallax is to the Radius as the radius of the earth is to its distance from the sun, or Sine &lt;nowiki&gt;8&quot;.88 : R = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; : solar distance, or &lt;nowiki&gt;0.00004305145 : 1 = 3,950&lt;/nowiki&gt; to solar distance, we have therefore only to divide 3,95 by the decimal fraction 0.00004305145, which is equivalent to 3,950,000,000.000 ÷ 4305145 which gives 92,000,000 miles very nearly.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 2<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-2.png<br /> | image size = 400px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = Robbeti &amp; Edmonds SC<br /> | title = The Pyramids of Egypt<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 3<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-3.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 20–Malignant<br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 4<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-4.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 21–Timidity and Terror<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 5<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-5.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 31–Dissipated–Sottish<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 6<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-03-019-6.jpg<br /> | image size = 150px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | title = Fig. 22–Mirth<br /> | untitled = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 3<br /> | page = 19<br /> | item = 7<br /> | type = article<br /> | status = proofread<br /> | continues = <br /> | author = <br /> | title = Sayings of the Press<br /> | subtitle = <br /> | untitled = <br /> | source title = <br /> | source details = <br /> | publication date = <br /> | original date = <br /> | notes = In section &quot;Variety&quot;<br /> | categories = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Style S-Small capitals|The diakka}}. — In an editorial, “The Chicago Tribune” says, “The Diakka are bad spirits. Andrew Jackson Davis has found out all about them. According to his ponderous effusion on the subject, they are the beings who break dishes and tumble around furniture and tell outrageous lies and bring the shades of prominent dead men into disrepute by maliciously personation them. When George Washington sings ‘Hey-diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle,’ to a circle of awestruck geese, it is not George Washington, but a Diak (if that is the proper singuar of Jhe tribal name). When Benjamiti Franklin dances a jig and Charles Dickens writes an idiotic story and Keats raps out this wonderous couplet:<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Style P-Poem|poem=You are my queen,<br /> Loveliest I ever seen,—}}<br /> <br /> {{Style P-No indent|the Diakka are playing their pranks. These things might be suffered to pass without protest, since such glaring shams are readily delected ; but when the Diakkai carry a pail of dirty water into the yard and tip it over on the week’s wash, as they lately did in Milwaukee, or when they give the furniture in a house the St. Vitus dance at midnight, as they have just done in Sin Francisco, or when they pitched the whole contents of a china closed into one heap of debris, as they did near New Haven, Connecticut, a few years ago, — then it is time to complain. Yet even these evils are not the worst. If a New Orleans burglar is to be believed, he has a spirit in his employ, whom he described as ‘A very devil of a ghost! that will climb up any balcony in the city, crawl through any key-hole, and throw me down all the valuables, without so much as wakening a canary-bird.’ It is sufficiently appalling to think of a ‘devil of a ghost’ crawling through your key-hole without the added necessity of regarding him or it as a burglar. Of what avail are pistols against forms of thin air. You behold the elongate ghost half-way through the key-hole. You spring to clutch him. He vanishes with a blood curdling chuckle. The next moment, while you are absorbed in keeping the bed and bedding from going through the ceiling against which they are pounding, four pantaldons, containing pocket-book, safe-keys, etc., are dexterously whisked through the transom and the spirit, first dropping the water-pitcher on your head, disappears permanently, ‘The Religio-Philosophical Journal’ endorses the New Orlean burglar’story, and adds that the Diakka help the bandits of Itally and Mexico, and, in fact, the rogues of the world. This is too much. If we are to be preyed upon by all the scamps now alive, and by the spirits of all who have died, we might as well give up the contest. It is painful to think how the ranks of the Diakka will be swelled when the present generation of Aldermen and County Commissioners dies.

The ''water ''is represented by the number ''three'': in it he engraved darkness, emptiness sad slime (void earth and water, the source ''oi ''matter). The ''fire ''is represented by number ''four. ''“In it he engraved the throne of His glory, the Ophanim, the Seraphim, the sacred animals and the ministering angels, and from these three he formed his habitation; as it is written, ‘He maketh the wind his messengers, taming fire his servants.’” Cod is not immediately connected with universe of matter and form, but his creative fiat is the active energy giving motion, life and vitality to matter of both the celestial and mundane worlds. In the celestial it is manifested in the form of light, which in the mundane is not seen. It is the light that shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not. It is also called intelligent light, and by Ibn Giberol, an Arabian philosopher who flourished in the second half of the eleventh century, as “the substance of the intellect&quot; or more properly speaking the receptacle or soul of the intellect. It is therefore the soul of the celestial world.}}<br /> <br /> Then comes the hexade, which represents space in six directions: east, west, north and south, as well as height and depth; in the center of which is the holy temple supporting the whole. This symbolic division of the universe is more clearly shown by the following diagram representing the tetrade and hexade, united from the decade, which correspond to the ten sephiroths, representing a spiritual outline of the universe. The astral light bears the same relation to the hexade as the celestial light does to the tetrade. The two combined form the soul of the astral and mundane worlds. They Also constitute the soul of man. The soul of the hexade is therefore dual, consisting of celestial and astral light. The former is the life and dynamic principle of the hexagonal division of the universe, but is not visible to the physical senses on account of man’s degradation. It is this light that gives to man supreme wisdom, for it opens to him the divine and omni-present causal world. It is alleged that this light was lost by the fall of Adam, and the re-finding of it constitutes illumination and initiation into the great mysteries. Every individual soul possesses it in a dormant state, and the searching for it constitutes the basis of Cabalistic teach- ng. It is represented in the hexade as the Holy Temple.<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 1<br /> | page = 162<br /> | item = 1<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-01-162-1.jpg<br /> | image size = 400px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | author signed = <br /> | title = <br /> | untitled = yes<br /> | source title = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> | hide = yes<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Then follows the twenty-two letters, of which God having drawn, hewed, and weighed them, (corresponding to weight, measure, and number,) and variously changed and put them together, formed the souls of everything that has been made or shall be nude. These letters are divided into three groups, as follows: —<br /> <br /> 1st. The three mothers, or fundamental letters.<br /> <br /> 2d. The seven double letters.<br /> <br /> 3d. The twelve single letters, or simple consonants.<br /> <br /> The three mothers—Aleph, Mem, and Shin—represent the three primordeal elements, air, water, and fire or light, which are yet partially ideal and etherial, become more palpable in their course of emanations. The celestial fire develops itself into astral light; the element water concretes into moisture and the element air becomes the universal ether of the hear enly spheres, thns forming the three fundamental types of the universe. These elements thicken still more, and give birth to another order of things; fire developing itself into heat, from water emanates cold, and from the air winds and storms.<br /> <br /> They extend in another direction. Celestial fire or light represents the human head, which is the seat of intelligence; the air represents the chest, which is called the hermetic bellows, and the water represents the abdomen and genital organs, water being regarded as the womb of nature, from which all forms proceed.<br /> <br /> The three letters Aleph, Mem, and Shin, also represent the elements phonetically. Aleph is a gentle aspirate, symbolizing air, and is expressed with a soft, full breath. Mem, as a labial or mute, symbolizes water, and is expressed with a continued wavering sound. Shin, as a sibillent, symbolizing fire, and is expressed with a hissing sound. This triad may be arranged as follows: —<br /> <br /> Macrocosm—Fire, Water, Air.<br /> <br /> Microcosm—Head, Genitals, Breast.<br /> <br /> Revolution of time, Heat, Cold, Moisture.<br /> <br /> The three primordial elements develop themselves still further in the seven double letters, viz.: Beth, Gemel, Daleth, Caph, Pe, Rath, and Tau. These seven consonants symbolize in the Macrocosm the seven planets. In the Microcosm, the seven sensuous faculties, and in the evolution of time the seven days. As these seven letters have a double pronunciation, hard and soft, they also symbolize the opposites in the movements of human life, viz: —Wisdom, Riches, Fruitfulness Life, Liberty, Peace, and Beauty. The opposites are Ignorance, Poverty, Barrenness, Death, Bondage, War, and Deformity.<br /> <br /> They also correspond to the seven ends, vis: Above, below, cist, west, north, south, and the Holy Palace in the centre, which supports them.<br /> <br /> The primal triad is developed still further into twelve parts, which are symbolized by the ''twelve simple consonants. ''The ''macrocosm ''into the twelve signs of the zodiac; the ''macrocosm ''into twelve active organs; and ''the revolution of time ''into twelve months of the year. This triad continues to evolve gradually into an infinite variety of forms, which proceed from the combination of a few. Thus the Hebrew alphabet by combination and transformation yields an endless variety of words, form, and figures, which are made to represent all the varied phenomena of nature. The book Jetzera, as well as the Sohar, contemplates God, the infinite and inscrutable being, as reigning over but not apart from organic existences. They teach that each element flows from a higher one, and all have in them the word, or Holy Spirit, which is the fountain of Living Water. The number ''One ''contains the All, and from it comes the first emanation of the divine substance. Therefore the ''one ''is over the three, the ''three ''is over the seven, and the ''seven ''over the twelve, and the whole inseparably connected, representing the unity and synthesis of God as manifested in nature. Creation, as delineated by the Sepher Jetzera, may be compared to a pyramid pointed at the top, which represents the beginning, and its base the manifold component parts. The book also teaches that throughout the universe there are two perceptible opposites, with a reconciling or harmonizing medium, which is represented by the three primordial elements. These opposites can be traced in the cosmic, telluric, and organic spheres, as well as in the moral world. The opposites are the two pillars of the temple, united by the arch, which is the symbol of harmony. The latter is the unique law, and results from the analogy of contraries. Separate the pillars by the destruction of the arch, and the temple falls, which is symbolized in the allegory of Sampson in the destruction of the temple. Hence we find that God has placed in all things one to oppose the other—good to oppose evil; good proceeding from good, and evil from evil, the former resulting from harmony, and the latter from disharmony.<br /> <br /> The book Jetzera is regarded as the basis or key of the doctrines of the Sohar, but the arrangements of the works differ somewhat. In the latter, the ten ''sephiroths ''are unfolded with a greater amplitude than in the former. In the Sohar, they are no longer symbolized by numbers, but are {{Style S-HPB SB.

''“In it he engraved the throne of His glory, the Ophanim, the Seraphim, the sacred animals and the ministering angels, and from these three he formed his habitation; as it is written, ‘He maketh the wind his messengers, taming fire his servants.’” Cod is not immediately connected with universe of matter and form, but his creative fiat is the active energy giving motion, life and vitality to matter of both the celestial and mundane worlds. In the celestial it is manifested in the form of light, which in the mundane is not seen. It is the light that shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not. It is also called intelligent light, and by Ibn Giberol, an Arabian philosopher who flourished in the second half of the eleventh century, as “the substance of the intellect&quot; or more properly speaking the receptacle or soul of the intellect. It is therefore the soul of the celestial world.}}<br /> <br /> Then comes the hexade, which represents space in six directions: east, west, north and south, as well as height and depth; in the center of which is the holy temple supporting the whole. This symbolic division of the universe is more clearly shown by the following diagram representing the tetrade and hexade, united from the decade, which correspond to the ten sephiroths, representing a spiritual outline of the universe. The astral light bears the same relation to the hexade as the celestial light does to the tetrade. The two combined form the soul of the astral and mundane worlds. They Also constitute the soul of man. The soul of the hexade is therefore dual, consisting of celestial and astral light. The former is the life and dynamic principle of the hexagonal division of the universe, but is not visible to the physical senses on account of man’s degradation. It is this light that gives to man supreme wisdom, for it opens to him the divine and omni-present causal world. It is alleged that this light was lost by the fall of Adam, and the re-finding of it constitutes illumination and initiation into the great mysteries. Every individual soul possesses it in a dormant state, and the searching for it constitutes the basis of Cabalistic teach- ng. It is represented in the hexade as the Holy Temple.<br /> <br /> {{HPB-SB-item<br /> | volume = 1<br /> | page = 162<br /> | item = 1<br /> | type = image<br /> | file = SB-01-162-1.jpg<br /> | image size = 400px<br /> | status = ok<br /> | author = <br /> | author signed = <br /> | title = <br /> | untitled = yes<br /> | source title = <br /> | notes = <br /> | categories = <br /> | hide = yes<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Then follows the twenty-two letters, of which God having drawn, hewed, and weighed them, (corresponding to weight, measure, and number,) and variously changed and put them together, formed the souls of everything that has been made or shall be nude. These letters are divided into three groups, as follows: —<br /> <br /> 1st. The three mothers, or fundamental letters.<br /> <br /> 2d. The seven double letters.<br /> <br /> 3d. The twelve single letters, or simple consonants.<br /> <br /> The three mothers—Aleph, Mem, and Shin—represent the three primordeal elements, air, water, and fire or light, which are yet partially ideal and etherial, become more palpable in their course of emanations. The celestial fire develops itself into astral light; the element water concretes into moisture and the element air becomes the universal ether of the hear enly spheres, thns forming the three fundamental types of the universe. These elements thicken still more, and give birth to another order of things; fire developing itself into heat, from water emanates cold, and from the air winds and storms.<br /> <br /> They extend in another direction. Celestial fire or light represents the human head, which is the seat of intelligence; the air represents the chest, which is called the hermetic bellows, and the water represents the abdomen and genital organs, water being regarded as the womb of nature, from which all forms proceed.<br /> <br /> The three letters Aleph, Mem, and Shin, also represent the elements phonetically. Aleph is a gentle aspirate, symbolizing air, and is expressed with a soft, full breath. Mem, as a labial or mute, symbolizes water, and is expressed with a continued wavering sound. Shin, as a sibillent, symbolizing fire, and is expressed with a hissing sound. This triad may be arranged as follows: —<br /> <br /> Macrocosm—Fire, Water, Air.<br /> <br /> Microcosm—Head, Genitals, Breast.<br /> <br /> Revolution of time, Heat, Cold, Moisture.<br /> <br /> The three primordial elements develop themselves still further in the seven double letters, viz.: Beth, Gemel, Daleth, Caph, Pe, Rath, and Tau. These seven consonants symbolize in the Macrocosm the seven planets. In the Microcosm, the seven sensuous faculties, and in the evolution of time the seven days. As these seven letters have a double pronunciation, hard and soft, they also symbolize the opposites in the movements of human life, viz: —Wisdom, Riches, Fruitfulness Life, Liberty, Peace, and Beauty. The opposites are Ignorance, Poverty, Barrenness, Death, Bondage, War, and Deformity.<br /> <br /> They also correspond to the seven ends, vis: Above, below, cist, west, north, south, and the Holy Palace in the centre, which supports them.<br /> <br /> The primal triad is developed still further into twelve parts, which are symbolized by the ''twelve simple consonants. ''The ''macrocosm ''into the twelve signs of the zodiac; the ''macrocosm ''into twelve active organs; and ''the revolution of time ''into twelve months of the year. This triad continues to evolve gradually into an infinite variety of forms, which proceed from the combination of a few. Thus the Hebrew alphabet by combination and transformation yields an endless variety of words, form, and figures, which are made to represent all the varied phenomena of nature. The book Jetzera, as well as the Sohar, contemplates God, the infinite and inscrutable being, as reigning over but not apart from organic existences. They teach that each element flows from a higher one, and all have in them the word, or Holy Spirit, which is the fountain of Living Water. The number ''One ''contains the All, and from it comes the first emanation of the divine substance. Therefore the ''one ''is over the three, the ''three ''is over the seven, and the ''seven ''over the twelve, and the whole inseparably connected, representing the unity and synthesis of God as manifested in nature. Creation, as delineated by the Sepher Jetzera, may be compared to a pyramid pointed at the top, which represents the beginning, and its base the manifold component parts. The book also teaches that throughout the universe there are two perceptible opposites, with a reconciling or harmonizing medium, which is represented by the three primordial elements. These opposites can be traced in the cosmic, telluric, and organic spheres, as well as in the moral world. The opposites are the two pillars of the temple, united by the arch, which is the symbol of harmony. The latter is the unique law, and results from the analogy of contraries. Separate the pillars by the destruction of the arch, and the temple falls, which is symbolized in the allegory of Sampson in the destruction of the temple. Hence we find that God has placed in all things one to oppose the other—good to oppose evil; good proceeding from good, and evil from evil, the former resulting from harmony, and the latter from disharmony.<br /> <br /> The book Jetzera is regarded as the basis or key of the doctrines of the Sohar, but the arrangements of the works differ somewhat. In the latter, the ten ''sephiroths ''are unfolded with a greater amplitude than in the former. In the Sohar, they are no longer symbolized by numbers, but are {{Style S-HPB SB.

PETERSBURG UNIVERSITY, FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF MEDU7MISTIC MANIFESTATIONS.&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> According to my promise to the Commission to help them in extending their invitations to mediums, I have neglected no effort to the accomplishment of the said purpose. Nevertheless but few mediums have shown any desire to come to Russia, and those who did were unsuitable for a preliminary examination, as their mediumistical powers were not of a nature to afford any chance to investigate physical phenomena. Finally, and for reasons previously detailed to the commission, I concluded to bring with me from England the two Petty boys. The mediumistic powers of these boys proved too weak, not only for them to be tested by a committee but even at private seances in my own house. Having obtained no manifestations worthy of any attention at all—as already published by me—at the committee’s investigation, after four seances I declined to waste any more of its time in investigating the Petty boys.<br /> <br /> Immediately after that, on the 15th of December last. Professor Mendеleyeff delivered his lecture on Spiritism. The haste exhibited by him on this occasion, the precipitancy with which the failures of the four seances were reviewed, when the Scientific Commission had just adopted a resolution to make not less than ''forty ''experimental examinations, did not agree, in my opinion, with the impartial and serious character which we have the right to expect in a truly scientific investigation. This lecture did not appear in print, and it was therefore impossible to either reply to its ''errors ''or to point out its one-sidedness. But in what was declared by M. Men-deleyeff the attitude of the commission toward the object of their examination was very clearly defined. Prof. Mendeleyeff— at whose suggestion the commission was organized, and under whose direction it acted—openly avowed himself aft enemy of Spiritualism. The commission, acting in unity with M. Mendeleyeff, was evidently anxious that the results of its further investigations should prove as fruitless as the results of the first tour seances with the Petty boys. The difficulties in the way of obtaining an impartial examination multiplied ten-fold: and for my part I felt fully that it would be useless for me to attempt any further assistance to the commission. But as I had already taken steps to invite here other mediums, and had succeeded in inducing a lady to come—who is possessed of remarkable mediumistic powers, and perfectly answers the requirements of the commission’s investigation—I decided upon proceeding further. I hoped that I might be mistaken as to the predispositions of the commission. Furthermore, I desired to ascertain how it would conduct its investigations when it had to do with a true medium in the full acceptation of this word, and one moreover who was not professional. This lady was totally independent as to her social and financial position, and had consented to take part in such an unpopular position merely for the sake of promoting the scientific object ostensibly in view.<br /> <br /> I had the honor of introducing this medium to the commission in the person of Mrs. C. From the very beginning of the seances, the physical manifestations which characterize this lady’s mediumship,—namely, loud raps, movements and levitations of the table,—occurred with great strength. Of the experimental seances, we had in this second series four—on the 11th, 25th, 27th and 29th of January. The seance at which the medium, by reason of sickness, could not attend was, although the commission had been notified twenty-four hours beforehand, counted by its members as one of the forty which it had bound itself to hold.<br /> <br /> During the experiments of this second member series, we learned the following: —<br /> <br /> 1. The commission failed to act up to its resolution of May the 9th, 1875, that immediately after each seance a report should be written out and signed by the witnesses on both sides. Instead of that, the reports were filed several days later, and not in the presence of witnesses, but were presented to them for signature when already prepared b) the commission, and when they could not be altered in any particular.<br /> <br /> 2. The plan itself of these reports underwent a thorough change. The commission saw fit to accept the private testimony of persons not belonging to the commission, but who may be said to have been present at the seances, since they had been eve-dropping and peeping through the key-holes. Such uncalled-for and personal testimony, based on subjective impressions, either amounts to nothing at a scientific investigation and therefore is inadmissible, or if the contrary then the commission itself was useless, for it was organized, we must suppose, tor the very reason of replacing such personal and subjective evidence with unanimous and impersonal experiment.<br /> <br /> 3. Having found room for personal evidence of its own choosing, the commission nevertheless rejected my offer to select a lady of their acquaintance for the purpose of examin-<br /> <br /> {{Style S-HPB SB.

You will kill her or she will kill you!”<br /> <br /> But the Frenchman had unwittingly raised subtle potencies of nature, over which he had no control. Furiously turning round, the girl struck at him a blow which would have killed him, had he not avoided it by jumping aside, receiving but a severe scratch on the right arm. The poor man was panic-stricken. Climbing with an extraordinary agility for a man of his bulky form on the wall over her, he fixed himself on it astride, and gathering the remnants of his will power, sent in her direction a series of passes. At the second, the girl dropped the weapon and remained motionless.<br /> <br /> “What are you about?” hoarsely shouted the mesmerizer in French, seated like some monstrous night goblin on the wall. “Answer me: I command you!”<br /> <br /> “I did—but what she—whom you ordered me to obey— commanded me do,” answered the girl in French, to my amazement.<br /> <br /> “What did the old witch command you?” irreverently asked he.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Style P-Subtitle|VENGEANCE SATISFIED}}<br /> <br /> “To find them—who murdered—kill them—I did so—and they are no more!—avenged—avenged!

She is a dangerous as well as a very wonderful subject!” said the Frenchman.<br /> <br /> We parted.

Their bodies exhibited no appearance of apoplexy, nor any external marks of wounds; but wonderful to relate, there were numerous dark spots and long marks upon the skin, as though they were stabs and slashes made without puncturing the cuticle.

HPB note|2d story – (appears in the &lt;u&gt;Sun&lt;/u&gt; Jan 2, 1876)|center}}<br /> <br /> We were a small party of merry travellers. We had arrived at Constantinople a week before from Greece, and had devoted fourteen hours a day to running up and down the steep hills of Pera, visiting bazaars, climbing to the tops of minarets, and fighting our way through armies of hungry dogs, traditional masters of the streets of Stamboul. Nomadic life is infectious, they say, and no civilization is strong enough to destroy the charm of unrestrained freedom when it has once been tasted. For the first three days my spaniel, Ralph, had kept at my heels, and behaved like a tolerably well-educated quadruped. He was a fine fellow, my travelling companion and most cherished friend; I was afraid to lose him, and so kept a good watch over his incomings and outgoings. At every impudent attack by his Mohammedan fellow creatures, whether demonstrations of friendship or hostility, he would merely draw in his tail between his legs, and seek in a dignified and modest manner protection under one or the other wing of our little party. He had shown from the first a decided aversion to bad company, and so, having become assured of his discretion, by the end of the third day I relinquished my vigilance. This neglect was speedily followed by punishment. In an unguarded moment he listened to the voice of some canine siren, and the last I saw of him was his bushy tail vanishing around the corner of a dirty, crooked street.<br /> <br /> Greatly annoyed, and determined to recover him at all hazards, I passed the remainder of the day in a vain search. I offered twenty, thirty, forty francs reward for him. About as many vagabond Maltese began a regular chase, and toward night we were assailed in our hotel by the whole troop, every man of them with a mangy cur in his arms, which he tried his best to convince me was the dog I had lost. The more I denied, the more solemnly they insisted, one of them actually going down upon his knees, snatching from his bosom an old corroded image of the Virgin, and swearing with a solemn oath that the Queen of Heaven herself had appeared to him and kindly shown him which dog was mine. The tumult had increased so as to threaten a riot, when finally our landlord had to send for a couple of kavasches from the nearest police station, who expelled the army of bipeds and quadrupeds by main force. I was the more in despair, as the headwaiter, a semi-respectable old brigand, who, judging by appearances, had not passed more than a half-dozen years in the galleys, gravely assured me that my pains were all useless, as my spaniel was undoubtedly devoured and half digested by this time, the Turkish dogs being very fond of their toothsome Christian brothers.<br /> <br /> The discussion was held in the street, at the door of the hotel, and I was about to give up the search for that night, when an old Greek lady, a Phanariote, who had listened attentively to the fracas from the steps of a neighboring house, approached our disconsolate group and suggested to Miss H., one of our party, that we should inquire of the Dervishes concerning the fate of Ralph.<br /> <br /> “And what can the Dervishes know about my dog?” inquired I, in no mood to joke.<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Subtitle|THE “HOLY MEN”}}<br /> <br /> “The holy men know all, Kyrea (madam)!” answered she, somewhat mysteriously. “Last week I was robbed of my new satin pelisse, which my son had brought me from Brusa, and, as you all see, there I have it on my back again.”<br /> <br /> “Indeed? Then the holy men have also metamorphosed your new pelisse into an old one, I should say,” remarked a gentleman of our company, pointing to a large rent in the back, which had been clumsily mended with pins.<br /> <br /> “And it is precisely that which is most wonderful,” quietly answered the Phanariote, not in the least disconcerted. “They showed me in the luminous circle the quarter of the town, the house, and even the room in which the Jew who stole it was preparing to rip and cut my garment into pieces. My son and I had barely the time to run over to the Kalindjikoulosek quarter and save my property. We caught the thief in the very act, and both instantly recognized him as the man shown us by the Dervishes in the magic moon. He confessed, and is in prison now.”<br /> <br /> Not understanding what she meant by the luminous circle and magic moon, but not a little mystified by her account of the divining powers of the “holy men,” we felt so satisfied that the story was not wholly a fabrication that we decided to go and see for ourselves on the following morning.<br /> <br /> The monotonous cry of the Muezzin from the top of a minaret had just proclaimed the noon of the day as we, descending from the heights of Pera to the port of Galata, with difficulty elbowed our way through the unsavory crowds of the commercial quarter of the town. Before we reached the docks we had been half deafened by the shouts and incessant, ear-piercing noises, and the Babel-like confusion of tongues. In this part of the city it is useless to expect to be guided by either house numbers or names of streets. The location of any desired place is indicated by its relative proximity to some other conspicuous building, such as a Mosque, bath or European storehouse; for the rest one has to put his faith in Allah and his prophet.<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Subtitle|DERVISHES AT HOME}}<br /> <br /> It was with the greatest difficulty, therefore, that we finally found the British shipchandler’s store in the rear of which we were to look for the place of our destination.<br /> <br /> Our hotel guide knew about the Dervishes as little as ourselves; but at last a Greek urchin, in all the simplicity of primitive undress, consented for a modest copper bakshish, to lead us to the dancers.<br /> <br /> We arrived at last, and were shown into a gloomy and vast hall, which appeared to me like a vacated stable. It was long and narrow, the floor was thickly strewn with sand, as in a manège, and it was lighted only through small windows under the cornices of the ceiling. The Dervishes had finished their morning performances, and were evidently resting from their exhausting labors. They looked completely prostrated, some lying about in corners, others sitting on their heels, staring vacantly, in mute contemplation of the Invisible Divinity, as we were informed. They appeared to have lost all power of speech and hearing, for none of them responded to our questions until a gaunt giant-limbed fellow, in a tall pointed cap, which made him appear over seven feet high, emerged from an obscure nook.<br /> <br /> Informing us that he was the chief, he remarked that the holy brethren, being in the act of receiving orders for further ceremonies of the day from Allah himself, must not be disturbed. But when the interpreter had explained to him the object of our visit, which concerned himself alone, he being the sole proprietor of the “divining rod,” his objections vanished, and he extended his hand for the alms. Upon being gratified, he beckoned two of our party, signifying that he could not accommodate more at once, and led the way.<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Subtitle|THE SIBYL’S RETREAT}}<br /> <br /> Plunging after him into the darkness of what seemed a half-subterranean passage, we were led to the foot of a tall ladder reaching to a chamber under the roof. We scrambled up after our guide and found ourselves in a wretched garret, of moderate size, destitute of all furniture. The floor, however, was carpeted with a thick layer of dust, and cobwebs festooned the walls in profusion. In one corner we perceived something which I mistook, at first, for a bundle of old rags; but the heap presently moved, got on its legs, advanced to the middle of the room, and stood before us, the most extraordinary-looking creature that I ever beheld. Its sex was female, but it was impossible to decide whether she was a woman or a child. She was a hideous-looking dwarf, with a head so monstrously developed that it would have been too big for a giant; the shoulders of a grenadier; the bosom of a Normandy wet nurse; and the whole supported on two short, lean, spider-looking legs, which trembled under the disproportionate size of the trunk as she advanced. She had a grinning countenance, like the face of a satyr, and it was ornamented with letters and signs from the Koran, painted in bright yellow. On her forehead was a blood-red crescent; her head was crowned with a dusty tarboosh; the lower extremities covered with large Turkish trousers; the upper portion of the body wrapped in dirty white muslin, barely sufficient to conceal one-half of its deformities. This creature rather let herself drop than sat down, in the middle of the floor, and as her weight came upon the rickety boards it sent up a thick cloud of dust, which invaded our throats and set us to coughing and sneezing. This was the famous Tatmos, known as the Damascus Oracle!<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Subtitle|THE MAGICIAN AT WORK}}<br /> <br /> Without losing time in idle talk, the Dervish produced a piece of chalk, and traced round the girl a circle about six feet in diameter. Fetching from behind the door twelve small copper lamps, and filling them with a dark liquid contained in a vial which he drew from his bosom, he placed them symmetrically around the magic circle. He then broke a chip of wood from the half-ruined panel of the door, which bore evident marks of many a similar depredation, and, holding the chip between his thumb and finger, began blowing on it at regular intervals, alternating with mutterings of weird incantation; suddenly, and to all appearance without any apparent cause for its ignition, there appeared a spark on the chip, and it blazed up like a dry match. He lit the twelve lamps at this self-generated flame. During this process, Tatmos, who until then had sat altogether unconcerned and motionless, removed her yellow babouches off from her naked feet, and throwing them into a corner, disclosed, as an additional beauty, a sixth toe on each deformed foot. The Dervish then reached over into the circle, and, seizing the dwarf’s ankles, gave a jerk as if he had been lifting a bag of corn, raised her clear off the ground, and stepping back, held her head downward. He shook her as one might a sack to pack its contents, the motion being regular and easy. He then swung her to and fro like a pendulum until the necessary momentum was acquired, when, letting go one foot and seizing the other with both hands, he made a {{Style S-HPB SB.

Delessert, inspector of the Police de Sûreté, seems to have made such an impression upon the Parisian authorities that they were recorded in unusual detail. Omitting all particulars except what are necessary to explain matters, we reproduce here the undoubtedly strange history.<br /> <br /> In the fall of 1861 there came to Paris a man who called himself Vic de Lassa, and was so inscribed upon his passport. He came from Vienna, and said he was a Hungarian, who owned estates on the borders of the Banat, not far from Zenta. He was a small man, aged thirty-five, with pale and mysterious face, long blonde hair, a vague, wandering blue eye, and a mouth of singular firmness. He dressed carelessly and ineffectively, and spoke and talked without much empressement. His companion, presumably his wife, on the other hand, ten years younger than himself, was a strikingly beautiful woman, of that dark, rich, velvety, luscious, pure Hungarian type which is so nigh akin to the gipsy blood. At the theatres, on the Bois, at the cafés, on the boulevards, and everywhere that idle Paris disports itself, Madame Aimée de Lassa attracted great attention and made a sensation.<br /> <br /> They lodged in luxurious apartments on the Rue Richelieu, frequented the best places, received good company, entertained handsomely, and acted in every way as if possessed of considerable wealth. Lassa had always a good balance chez Schneider, Reuter et Cie., the Austrian Bankers in Rue de Rivoli, and wore diamonds of conspicuous lustre.<br /> <br /> How did it happen then, that the Prefect of Police saw fit to suspect Monsieur and Madame de Lassa, and detailed Paul Delessert, one of the most rusé inspectors of the force, to “pipe” him? The fact is, the insignificant man with the splendid wife was a very mysterious personage, and it is the habit of the police to imagine that mystery always hides either the conspirator, the adventurer, or the charlatan. The conclusion to which the Prefect had come in regard to M. de Lassa was that he was an adventurer and charlatan too. Certainly a successful one, then, for he was singularly unobtrusive and had in no way trumpeted the wonders which it was his mission to perform, yet in a few weeks after he had established himself in Paris the salon of M. de Lassa was the rage, and the number of persons who paid the fee of 100 francs for a single peep into his magic crystal, and a single message by his spiritual telegraph, was really astonishing. The secret of this was that M. de Lassa was a conjurer and diviner, whose pretensions were omniscient and whose predictions always came true.<br /> <br /> Delessert did not find it very difficult to get an introduction and admission to de Lassa’s salon. The receptions occurred every other day—two hours in the forenoon, three hours in the evening. It was evening when Inspector Delessert called in his assumed character of M. Flabry, virtuoso in jewels and a convert to Spiritualism. He found the handsome parlors brilliantly lighted, and a charming assemblage gathered of well-pleased guests, who did not at all seem to have come to learn their fortunes or fates, while contributing to the income of their host, but rather to be there out of complaisance to his virtues and gifts.<br /> <br /> Mme. de Lassa performed upon the piano or conversed from group to group in a way that seemed to be delightful, while M. de Lassa walked about or sat in his insignificant, unconcerned way, saying a word now and then, but seeming to shun everything that was conspicuous. Servants handed about refreshments, ices, cordials, wines, etc., and Delessert could have fancied himself [to have] dropped in upon a quite modest evening entertainment, altogether en règle, but for one or two noticeable circumstances which his observant eyes quickly took in.<br /> <br /> Except when their host or hostess was within hearing, the guests conversed together in low tones, rather mysteriously, and with not quite so much laughter as is usual on such occasions. At intervals a very tall and dignified footman would come to a guest, and, with a profound bow, present him a card on a silver salver. The guest would then go out, preceded by the solemn servant, but when he or she returned to the salon—some did not return at all—they invariably wore a dazed or puzzled look, were confused, astonished, frightened, or amused. All this was so unmistakably genuine, and de Lassa and his wife seemed so unconcerned amidst it all, not to say distinct from it all, that Delessert could not avoid being forcibly struck and considerably puzzled.<br /> <br /> Two or three little incidents, which came under Delessert’s own immediate observation, will suffice to make plain the character of the impressions made upon those present. A couple of gentlemen, both young, both of good social condition, and evidently very intimate friends, were conversing {{Style S-HPB SB.

I have seen atmospheric phenomena produced, of a most incredible description. I have had a gold ring caused to leap out of a moss-rose, held in my own hand, in full light. I have known of a sentence being instantly engraved in the inside of a gold ring, while held in the closed hand of a certain editor. I have had letters to myself, in answer to letters written by me, made to come into the closed envelopes, laid upon the mantle- piece of the room where I was sitting, and never out of my sight nor touched by any one in the room; these answers being upon separate sheets of paper, and of a different kind from those upon which I had written. I have had writings instantly appear and disappear from paper, note-books and other books, when I was either holding the same or had them in view; and in broad daylight.<br /> <br /> I have had all these, and more, which I shall not recite, for I have already spent too much time in answering an editor who is such an ignoramus as to say that there is no proof that there ever was or will be a Science of Magic. I have (neither the time nor disposition to save editors of Spiritualist journals the trouble of learning the rudiments of their profession. It is a sufficient commentary upon the gross ignorance which prevails among American Spiritualists about the. origin and nature of the phenomena which they have been watching for twenty-seven years, that their self-styled leading organ should be guilty of making such statements and propounding such silly questions as are to be found in this article on “The New Departure.” I remain.

In other words, he possesses the knowledge that will enable him to raise the Veil of Isis, and penetrate into the “unknowable,” as Herbert Spencer terms it, and grasp the hidden secrets of Nature. But few, very few of the ancient sages, were able to accomplish so much. A knowledge of the Hermetic secrets will not only enable the recipient to make the Universal Medicine and the ''Lopis Philosophorum'', but give him also a knowledge of universal nature General Hitchcock claimed to have found the Key of the Hermetic philosophy, and wrote a work entitled, “Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists,” in which he attempts to explain the great mystery; but every Occultist student knows that he was far from the truth. ''He who knows it will not reveal it''. Therefore, until the writer of genius gives it to the world as be promises, I will not believe he possesses it. The secret is hidden to them who would reveal it; for the Divine Mind will not permit his secret laws to be known to any until they have so advanced in purity as to be enabled to secure them, and when once revealed silence is enjoined upon the recipient; and if the injunction should be violated, tbc consequences would be most severe to the faithless one. A true initiate never boasts of his knowledge publicly. He is a man of silence, for one of the fundamental laws of Occultism is SILENCE.<br /> <br /> The world at present is as unprepared to receive the secrets possessed by the Magi of the ancients, as it was thousands of years ago; and until it advances to that degree of harmony which is essential to the reception of Divine truths, so that they will not be abused, those truths, depend upon it, will ''not be revealed''.<br /> <br /> I cannot imagine a greater misfortune to humanity than to give them possession of the Divine Hermetic secrets. A great blessing would, in a short time, be converted into an abominable curse, and the spirit of Satan would soon take possession of society. Such knowledge cannot and will not be made public by the recipient. God would not, in the present condition of society, permit it. “From one who knows.”<br /> <br /> {{Style P-Signature in capitals|Lux}}<br /> <br /> {{Style S-HPB SB. HPB note|S.

I was particularly strick[?] by the fact that the sleeve of the dress on the arm was entirely different from that worn by Mrs. Holmes, the latter being a closely fitting black silk fabric and extending to the wrist, the former a gauze-like short white sleeve.}}<br /> <br /> After appearing many times, as stated, she asked that the light be lowered, and she would try to appear to us in full form. After a few moments, the members of the circle continuing to sing, the cloud-like appearance in front of the curtain was seen as on the previous evening, which seemed to concentrate until the dim but visible form of “Katie” was discernible to all who were present. The form was not as distinct as on the previous evening, and this was spoken of as it faded away. After a few moments the distinct form of “Katie” stepped out from behind the curtain, and, addressing the circle, asked in a clearly audible voice, “Can you see me now?” She was dressed in a robe of thin white texture, and her features were plainly recognizable by those who had seen her frequently before. She did not again appear after fading away before our eyes, and tlie séance closed. We at once entered and critically examined the parlor, and found everything precisely as it was immediately before the light séance commenced. Mrs. Holmes was in the bag, which was just as it was when secured by Mr. Dennis and myself before the circle began. The hands of Mrs. Holmes could not possibly have been out of the bag during the time when the arm and hand were being extended frequently through the aperture into the sitting-room and it was equally impossible for any accomplice of the medium to have done it.<br /> <br /> It must be borne in mind, also, that these séances were held at the private residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and that there were no traps, contrivances, masks or other devices available for trickery or deception. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are most estimable and reliable persons, and would not for a moment tolerate the practice of the least deception in their home, and they both assured me that it was impossible, from their knowledge of what Mrs. Holmes brought with her, that she could have practiced any deception thoughtlessly charged against herself and husband.<br /> <br /> Not only has Mrs. Holmes proven herself a genuine medium, but one of the most remarkable that has appeared since Modern Spiritualism ...wned upon the world. Single handed and ...one she has faced a storm of aspersion and denunciation such as few persons were ever called upon to endure. She has triumphantly rindicated[?], through the aid of her wonderful spirit guides, her claims of veritable mediumship, and has fulfilled wonderfully her part as a true woman and a noble wife.

Olcott authorises the announcement that he will contribute to the Scientist some of the results of his winter’s reading, in the form of a series of articles entitled “What the Ancients knew, and what the Moderns think they know.” This popular author in addition to what he gleaned in his researches among the splendid collections of the “Watkinson Library of Reference,” in Hartford, has recently had access to some ancient manuscripts, furnished him by “one who knows ''when'' and ''how'',” as the phrase goes; and our readers may count upon both entertainment and instruction in the papers which will appear in this Journal.<br /> <br /> {{Style S-HPB SB.
