WHAT IS MARTINISM?An Answer by MarKaret B. Peeke. Inspectress-

General of the Order In the United States.Lem than a decade ago the name of St. Martin wan

not known in America except to a few who hatl studied along linen of mysticism and illuminism. and tile!) it wan known an one known the name of any special and ifreat writer. Since that time it has been introduced and promulgated by a few pro|>agandists until now we are continually met by the quentionn, "What ia Martin- ism?” and, *• How does it differ from other secret and symbolic orders?" It in to answer th e s e quentionn, in an few words an |nmnible, that the prenent article in written.

In the S t a k o f t h k M a u i (the official organ of Mar- tininml. beginning with March, 1WH, and continuing till the nrxt November, wan published a translation from the French of Papun, (•rand Master of the Order, giving the history of itn organization in the eighteenth century. For the benefit of thone who were not inter­ested in the subject at that time or who did not see the articles mentioned, there will be allusions to facts therein given, before proceeding to answer questions as to the nature and motive of the society, or |siints of difference between it and similar orders.

Secret societies are divided into those merely sym­bolic, ritualistic and ceremonial, and those of the Illu­minati, whose origin belongs to a higher and invisible plane. Of the latter, the <me best known before the time of Swedenborg is the fraternity of the Kosy Cross, whose fraters have gathered and preserved through the ages the teachings of arcane wisdom of all nations and times. While it is to them that more modern secret ortlers owe their origin, there can never be any conflict between the different centers. Free Masonry, belonging to the human world, seeks to kimir and >/<>.- the liosicrucians. belonging to the divine world, seek to hr. Moth have the honor of being conserva tors of the ancient wisdom religion. but to the one be­longs theory only, and to the other practical know I edge that can produce results. When a Free Mason desires to use his knowledge he must join a fraternity of the Illuminati.

In the latter part of the seventeeth century Kina mu-1 Swedenborg was born. That he was one of the most remarkable seers and savants of tin* ages is seen by his work of tndiutt'mm. through which the divine world

became a living truth, and from this was established a lay brotherlnssl as devoted to the Christ, as were the Chevaliers of the Holy (trail. Swedenborg's work was in direct touch with the divine world and was di vided by him into three sections: 1st. That of inxtruction. 2d. The ritual application of these instruc tions. ikl. S y m b o lic and practical tradition.

The latter was again divided into three sections: 1st. Masonic and elementary. 2d. Illuminism. ikl. Active.

It was among the initiates of Swedenlsirg that we find the name of Martines de Pasqually, who was made Master in lamdon and entrusted with the honor of spreading the truth throughout France and estah- lishing the order since known aw Martinism He was a man of rare gifts of realisation on all piunes, and In- taught that through earnest and severe training tin- latent |s>wers of the soul might be evoked by which a man could enter into direct relation with the invisible world and |>erform works impossible to ordinary mor­tals. He selected his disciples with the greatest care and spared no labor in aiding tln-ir development. Once having attained this realization ulmir they be- came members of the Kosy Cross. To the careless reader of the life of this man it might seem that llis long training and initiations resulted in experiences similar to the materializations of the Spiritualistic seances of to-day, while, in fact, nothing could be farther from the truth. On the one hand, absolute de­votion to Christ and the divine world, constant prayer, the olnH-rvance of astronomical times anil seasons, re­sulting in appearances in broad daylight, giving utter­ance. as in the case of the Cnknown Philosopher, to teachings of eternal truth; and, on the other hand, darkness, closed cabinets, an unconscious medium and utterances ridiculous and puerile where is the resent blance?

Pasqually never changed names or rites given by Hwedenborg, He selected his disciples largely from men entitled to higher Masonic degrees, but sometimes also, aw in the case of his famous pupil, laiuis Claude de St. Martin, by di redaction. He admitted women to initiation on the same basis as men if they possessed the same spirit of desire and consecration. All those initiated at one time joined together for work and their reunions were held at astronomical e|NN'hs suita hie for their pur|Nme. To him there was no aristoc­racy but that of intelligence and higher development, and all degrees were conferred according to this ftlie. He was a man s|iecially raised up for the great WwH

Initiation at that time bsiketl f«»rwaril to man * be coming a king ami |irie*t unto ton). but instead of Tte- ((Hiring three degree*. as at tin- present time. it wa» necessary to take m-vp-n before reaching tin- priest hood.

To two of hi* moot remarkable «li»*c-i|»l«*» wascom miffed tin- work of tin <frdt-r after Hi* death. Jean Habtlste Wilh-rmoj! and lami* I'laude de Ml. Martin. While In- wa» doing hi* early work a* Initiator, tin- former wa» at the head of the lodge of Perfect Amity at Lyon*, a |si«t which lie filled for eleven year*, lie wa* afterwird placed at the head of the lodge of Klect I'rieat*. formed by *pecial *election.• There are document* »till existing in the hand* of the tirand Master to prove that tln-»e Klect l*rie»t* were worthy of the title of Illuminati. The meeting* were con»ecrated by prayer, the highest spirituality prevailed, and the result* were *ucha*could not In- mistaken for mere phenomena! hut, accustomed to Masonic ceremonial*. Wlllermnx always sought toes- tahlish Masonry U|s>n the solid and high hasi* of hi* Muster, and sought to have the lodge* center* of sp­ied Ion for future Illuininee*.

Louis t Maude de Nt. Martin gave himself almost en­tirely to the work of |ier*onal initiation and instruc­tion, as Wlllermox did to the formation of lodges. For tills he was specially fitted by the thorough course of instruction he had received from that invisible tieing whom lie always designated a* the I’nknown Philoso­pher, and whose instructions were contained in one hundred and sixty-six books or manuals. Nearly half of these had been destroyed by the agent himself. In I7U0, to prevent their falling into the hand* of tin- servants of Koliespierre. The Iniok known as “ Truth and Krror " Is almost entirely (rum this source.

When Ht. Martin was directed to make certain cliauge* in the Order, certain writer* concluded that he gave hi* name to it. This is a great error, and all members should understand the fact* of the case. As far back as the reign of Catherine the Great. Martin- ism was widely known in Kussia.

Coming down to the twentieth century, when it seems destined to gain a strong following in the United States, we are asked it> "niism if efer" and how it differs from other secret societies.

First. There are neither dues, fees, nor |>ayment for teachings. This keeps its membership of the true aristocracy, designated by the Unknown Philosopher as “ Men of Desire." Mercenary motives cannot enter iuto the- minds of the Initiator* and iiwiiiiti is sought for in initiates rather than numbers.

Second. There are no election of onicer* ami ap­pointments are made by the Grand Master, who is guided by the Invisibles.

Third. The truths taught do not conflict with any previoos belief, or enforce- any new creed. The phi­losophy taught is that Ancient Wisdom on which all relignn,* and creeds rest.

Fourth. Women have the same rights a* men.Fifth. The teachings are those given by the Un- [

n i K M A O I .known Philosopher, and lead to Illumination ami Adeptship. Every member has an e«|ual opportunity to develop spiritual powers and latent possibilities

Tlnme who belong to Masonic fraternities need not violate a single obligation to their Order, and. in lodges of their own brethren, may study the higher spiritual signification and application of their sym Isd*. a* given by Martinism.

The work is largely carried on in Group* of a few. as in tin- time* of Martine* de Pas«|ually. It ha* l*-en thoroughly proven that better results have been reached in this way, and to those devoted to spiritual development time is a valuable factor.

The crowning glory of Martinism is the absolute freedom it insure* to each member. There are no old creeds to he laid aside, no new creeds to be taken up Tliere i* no money to be (taitl for degrees or teaching* There is no necessity that any one should know who are member*. The truth* and symbols it holds are those which have been held by highest teachers of the ages. ami. resting a* it does on man s need of regain ing hi* |»ri*tine |*.wer* by discipline and training, it offer* to its Initiate* the greatest good that can be at tainrd by the earnest soul.

LINCOLN'S FAVORITE POEM.The |*iem. “ O. Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be

Proud?" by William Knox, was a particular favorite with Abraham Lincoln. It was first shown to him when a young man by a friend, and afterwards he cut it from a new*pa|ier and learned it by heart. He said to a friend. -*I would give a great deal to know who wrote it. but have never been able to ascertain. ” He did afterwards learn the name of the author.

William Knox was a Scottish poet w ho was born in 17*)' at Firth, and died in IKS a t Edinburg. Hi* •* Lonely Hearth and Other Poems ” wa* published in l-l-v and - The Songs of Israel " in 1*24. It is from this last volume that the following favorite poem of Abraham Lincoln is taken.

After having learned the object of the machine the observer seeks to learn its functions and the details of its construction. We shall seek to follow in this de­scription tin* way indicated by the atsive questions.

We can see at a glance that the true man, the Man of Will, rises above the organism and, for that matter, above the external world also, by means of certain forces placed at his disposition by means of tbi* or­ganism.

The human machine uses these forces in a certain order. Hut it differs from all of the otln-r machines such as are invented by man as it follows out uncon­sciously its own constitution on account of the fact that it is a machine or a series of machines composed of living elements. It is also composed of two gen­eral parts. One is to furnish the forces and means of action for the Man of Will. The other is to repair and build up without ceasing the machinery used, in proportion to its measure of action.

Is order to conceive a projier idea of the human or- ganntm one must divide it into three different kinds of machinery: The inferior machinery called the stom-

n

ach; the intermediate machinery of the chest, and the sti|ierior machinery of the head.

The entrance for the material used by each of these machines is found to Ik* through the nu|iorior one, which is called the face.

At the lower |>art of the face one finds the entranci to the stomach called the mouth, where the aliments (primitive matter to Ik* transformed by the stomach I undergo the first modification. It is here ground up by a series of Irnltrea (the teeth) after having been torn apart by the canines anil afterwards crushed by the molars. A liquid secretion known as saliva aids in this work and produce* the first fermentation. This primitive matter then descends by way of the oesoph­agus to the stomach.

In the middle of the face one Hmls tile entrance to the chest, which la called the nose. Through two pas­sages the air is inspired and expired by the lungs. This is the primitive matter acted upon by the lungs. After having ls*en warmed in a series of chamber* es­pecially constructed in the form of cones, the air reaches the chest directly by means of the trachea, so arranged as to reach both lung*.

In the top of the face one sees the entrance to the head called eyes. These two organs receive impres­sions of light which are at first transformed by passing through diverse chambers (chambers of the eyes). From these they are acted upon by delicate and com­plicated organ* which are analugous to the electrical mechanism of other machine* before It finally reaches the central machinery.

Two other organs, placed by the side of the head (the ears), also ai<l the eyes in establishing a relation for use of the central organism.

Now, to tlx these ideas, one should consider the mechanism of the stomach as hydraulic machinery, in­asmuch as it is, comparatively speaking, gross. The chest mechanism may he compared to pumps, with reservoirs, motors and a great nunilier of pi|H*s.

And. finally, the mechanism of the head is an elec­trical contrivance, with its dynamos, accumulators, commutators and its great number of wire conductors

Further downward the organs of excretion are found, from whence all effete material is eliminated.

These foregoing divisions will give to the reader a fair idea of the tinman machine and its parts.

To consider them further we find the stomach changes the organic matter into chyle. In fact, it may be said, by way of comparison, to create the wheels and other organic material to siqqiort the rest of the body. The depots are called lymphatic gan­glions.

The intermediate machinery, the chest, takes charge of the materials sent from below and dynamize** it by the action of the inspired air. On the other hand, the chest restores to the element* which it scatters throughout the organism the globules, the force which these elements have lost. This force carried by the globule is tlie origin of nervous force. Thus with the magician, if lie should know the pi iuriple* <rf physiol ogy without knowing the above, it will he impossible to apply the spreial rules to the ailments, ami others

August. 1902.fi UTAH OF TH K MAOI-to the respiration, with a view of modifying the glob­ule of the bhaid and the nervous force.

To 'return to the function of the chest The two lungs*respire'the air and se|arate the dynamic ele­ments, above all the oaygen, so as to hold together the vital force which animates the whole organism.

The sufierior mechanism, the head, utilises the force borne -by the}blood, and a s|iecial organ, the cerebel­lum, after the'theories 01 D. Luys, gives birth to a neW'force, called the nervous force.

This force is spread out through all the nervous ganglionsandps especially condensed in the ganglion* of the grand sym|Mithetic. where it acts as a true elec­trical accumulator; and It is from the grand sympa­thetic that all^the movements of the human machine originate.

The stomach Is charged to transform the aliments, but without the'diest. which sends to it the necessary umount of blond, and the head, which sends to it the necessary amount of nervous force, it could in reality accomplish nothing.

The chest is charged to dynamise all the organic el­ements. but If the stomach failed to sup|s>rt it by fresh chyle the former would be powerless to act.

And, lastly, the head (or. better, the |H*terior infe rlor nerve centers, together with their de|iendenciea) would be |Niwerless were It not for the bhsid furnished by the chest, which is the primal material of nervous force.

With these considerations we must not lose sight of the fact that we are considering the human machine for which we might employ the expression, the man machine.

It Is that |Hirtion of the human being which pursues Its function during sleep, or at such times when all of the rest ia In repose. That is why we must consider It as a machine, the living machine which is the most delicate of all.

The quality of the blood depends in a great meas­ure upon the quality of the chyle, and the quality of the nervous force depend* immediately upon the qual­ity of the blood.

Therefore we see that the alimentary regime modi tie* for better or worse the nervous force which de­termines the state of the human machine.

How to Tell Hidden Spots on Three Dice.Turn around, and, with your hack to the table, ask

somebody to throw the dice. Then tell the person who threw them to double the number of spots on the dice on the left and keep the number to himself. Tell him to add live, then multiply by live. To this figure have him add the number of spots on the dice ia tin- middle, and multiply the product by ten. Then ask him to add the number of spots on the third dice, and give you the aggregate sum. From the amount sub­tract. mentally, 250. ami the remainder will show in the three figures the number of spots thrown on the three dice. Kor instance, take five, three and two as the various spots thrown Double the first, supposed to be on the left in this case, 5x2=10. Add 5=15. Multiply by 5=?f. Add the number of spots on the

next dice, 3 - 7**. Multiply by 1«=7H0. Add number of spot* on last dice. 2-7*2. Subtract 250, and 532 remains, which are the numbers on the dice.

THE OCCULT PENDULUM.Camille Flamrrarion to Repeat Foucault's Test

Provinfi that the Earth Moves.Camille Flammarion, the noted astronomer, in pre

paring to entertain the scientific people of Paris with another practical demonstration of the fact that the earth is a revolving body. On the fiftieth anniversary of a similar test made by Jean Iternard Leon Foucault. Flammarion will re|>eat the experiment to show by- means of the oscillation of the pendulum that the earth maintains a rotary motion. Flammarion ha* sent out invitations to his friends inviting them to be iwrsent at the Pantheon and “ see the earth turn, and he will carry out to the letter the unique demon stration made by Foucault in 1H51.

What I* more. Foucault's pendulum, which has been redwing for fifty year* in the Museum of Arts ami Crafts, will be brought once more into play. This will be attached to a wire more than seventy-five yards in length, and will swing from a point just beneath the top of the dome of the Pantheon, marking its various |>a**age* across a small circular ring of white sand on tl»e floor iieneath the dome. After a quarter of an hour, if the demonstration meets with the same suc­cess that characteriaed the efforts of Foucault, the four-inch ring will be wiped out.

Foucault's experiment created much comment among astronomers and scientific men when it was performed fifty year* ago. He clearly demonstrated the rotation of the earth by means of a graduated disk which wa> seen to turn while the pendulum weighing sixty pound*, freely suspended above it. maintained its plane of oscillation. The gyroscope was Foucault's own in vention and has always been regarded as a wonderful contrivance Commenting some time before bis death ujion the outcome of his experiment, the celebrated physicist said:

“ The numerous and important observations which hitherto have been made upon the pendulum are espe­cially relative to the time of its oscillations, while those u|ion which I have touched have reference prin­cipally to the direction of the plane of oscillation |it* occult movement], which, being gradually displaced from east to west, gives a sensible proof of the diurnal motion of the terrestrial globe.

“ I will suppose the observer to have established at the |s>le a pendulum of the greatest simplicity, com- ixised of a heavy homogeneous and spherical mass. sus|iended by a flexible thread from a point absolutely- fixed. I will moreover suppose at first that this point of suspension is exactly in the prolongation of the axis of rotation of the globe and the solid masse* which support it do not participate in the diurnal movement. If under these circumstances the mass of tne pendulm is drawn aside from its position of equi­librium and abandoned to the action of gravity with­

STAR OF T H E MAO I 7out having any lateral impulse given to it, its center of gravity will pass again through the vertical and, by its acquired velocity, will rise upon the other side of the vertical to a height nearly equal to that whence it came. Arrived at this point its velocity dies out. changes its sign and brings it back, causing it to |«ss- again through the vertical to a jwint a little below its starting place.

“ Thus a movement of oscillation is excited in the arc of a circle whose plane is clearly determined, to which the inertia of the mass gives an invariable jsisi- tion in space. If. then, these oscillations continue for a certain time, the motion of the earth, which does not cease turning from west to east, will become sensible by contrast with the immobility of the plane of oscil­lation. whose trace u|s>n the ground will ap|iear to have a motion conformable to the ap|>arent motion of the heavenly sphere: and if the oscillations could he continued for twenty-four hours the trace of their plane would have executed in that time a complete revolution around the vertical projection of the |s>int of suspension. Much are the ideal conditions under which the motion of rotation of the globe would be­come evidently accessible to observation.

“ Hut in fact we are obliged to take our fixed point upon a moving base. The |» r t to which the upper end n* the |>enduluni thread is attached cannot he with­drawn from the diurnal movement, and it might be feared at first sight that this would alter the direction of the plane of oscillation. However, theory shows us here no serious difficulty, and. on the other hand, experiment has shown me that, provided the thread be round and homogeneous, it may be turned with con­siderable rapidity around its axis in either direction without influencing sensibly the |»osition of the plane of oscillation. This isa description of such an ex|teri- ment performed at the pole.

•• When we descend to different latitudes, however, the phenomenon becomes complicated by an element of considerable difficulty of appreciation. In pro)sir tion as we approach the equator the plane of the hori­zon assumes a position more and more oblique to the axis of the earth, and the vertical, in place of turning on itself, as at the |iole, describes a cone of greater and greater angle, whence results a retardation in the apparent motion of the plane of oscillation, a motion which becomes nothing at the equator and changes its sign in the other hemisphere.”

Foucault's first experiment along this line is de­scribed by him as in the following way:

« At the crown of a vault of a cellar a strong piece of cast iron was secured to give sup|s»rt to the suspen sion wire which hung freely from a small piece of tem­pered steel, whose free surface was perfectly horizon Ul. The wire was of steel, strongly compressed by the action of the drawing-plate. It was about seventy- nine inches long and carried at its lower end a ground and polished sphere of brass, whose center of gravity had been made to coincide with its center of figure. This sphere weighed ten fiounds and carried a sharp projection which appeared to be a continuation of the suspension wire. When it was desired to try an ex­

periment we began by destroying the torsion of the wire and stopping the turning of the sphere. Then, to draw it aside from its position of equilibrium, it was included in a loop of organic thread whose free extremity was attached to a fixed jioint in the wall at a small height above the ground. Before proceeding it was necessary to destroy, by an obstacle gradually withdrawn, the oscillating motion which the |>endnlum had in its restraint i>y the two threads.

Then, when we had succeeded in bringing it to rest, the organic thread was burned at some |«)int of its length. Its tenacity then ceasing, it broke, the loop fell to the ground, and the pendulum, obeying gravity alone, liegan to move and gave a long series of oscillations whose plane quickly experienced a sensi­ble displacement. At the end of half an hour this displacement was such that It was evident to the eye."

Flammarion's revival of Foucault's novel test is to be made under the auspices of the French astronom­ical society in connection with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the original demonstration.

THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.n v c o t ’i r r Toucr< n,

An Kmir of the Fast, while strolling about the ba­zaars of his capital one day, heard the merchants there extolling the wisdom of a certain judge in a town some distance off. who understood how to detect the true from the false in a wonderful way. Of all rogues brought before him. notone had lieen clever enough to escape detection and punishment.

The Kmir on that determined to discover If these re- (sirts were true. Disguising himself as a merchant, he mounted his horse and set out for the town where the judge sat in judgment. As lie was riding through the gates of the town a beggar approached and begged alms of him. The Kmir gave him a coin and was about to ride on when the beggar seized U |h i i i the Item of his garment.

*• Art thou not satisfied with the gift thou hast re­ceived, that thou preventest my going on my way?"

“ Thou hast, indeed, ministered richly to my neces­sity," returned the beggar, “ but 1 have yet another boon to beg of thee, Grant, I pray thee, that I may mount behind thee on thy steed and ride to the great square within the city, for 1 am lame and fear that the horses and camels may tread me underfoot in the press thither."

“ Good,'' answered the Kmir, and hel|s-d the beggar to mount behind him.

When they reached the great square of the city the Kmir drew rein. ex|iecting his companion to dismount and go on his way. but the beggar sat still.

“ Why dost thou not dismount, now that w are at our journey's end?” asked the Kmir, astonished.

"Dismount!” screamed the other, "dismount from my own steed? It is rather thou who shouldst dis­mount. Away with thee or I will drag thee to the judgment seat.”

A crowd gathered about them, attracted thither by the screams of the beggar.

M August, n*ch t a h OF TIIK MAGI.“ (to ye to the judge." fried one in a loud voict.

“ and he will decide between you.”On that the two went together to wliere the judge

•at In judgment, In the midst of the *quare. Two |>er son* already »t«id before the judgment seat. and the Kmir, drawing aside. listened to what wan going on between tliem and the judge.

Two men. a scholar and a |iea*ant, claimed the Mmr woman for wife. When each had made an end of K|M‘aking, the judge kept alienee a few moment*. then ■aid: "la-t the woman come with you before me hereto-morrow morning at thin hour.''

The neat to apiiear before the judgment neat were a butcher and an oil merchant. The butcher'* garment* were atained with blood, the merchant'* were greasy with oil. The butcher carried a pur»e in one of hi* hand*, while the oil merchant gra*jied In both of hi* the hand of the butcher.

••1 bought oil of till* merchant," cried the butcher, *• and when I drew out my purne to |iay for it. he caught hold of my hand, crying that the pur*e wa* hi* and accu*ing me of robbing him. The pur*e. howerer. i* mv owni It i* he who *eek* to rob me of it.”

The oil merchant *|N>ke In hi* turn:“ Till* man came to me to purcha*e oil, asking me at

the name time to change a gold piece for him. I drew out my purse to give him silver for hi* gold when he snutched it from my hand and wa* about to flee away with It. Then 1 caught him by the hand and dragged him here to thee.” .

When tile oil merchant had made an end of *|>eaking the judge kept silent fora few moment* and then »aid: " Leave the pur*e here, and come ye at thi* hour to­morrow again to me."

It wa* now the Kmir'* ami beggar'* turn to ap|>ear before the judgment seat. The Kmir spoke first, and then the beggar was called upon:

‘‘This man has lied,” said the beggar. •• It was he who I legged to ride with me to tlie city square. I gave him ]H‘rmis*ion to do *o, but when we had entered the M|uare he refused to dismount, insisting that my steed was hi* own.” •

The judge kept *ilence for a few moments a* before, then said: “ la-ave the steed here, and come ye atthi* hour to morrow to me.”

The next day, a* liefore, a great crowd wa* gathered around the judgment neat to listen to the judgment.

The scholar and the |ieaNant were the first to be called. “ The woman i* thy wife," said the judge to the scholar, " take her away with thee. And thou," to tlie |M>anant, “ for thy knavery, shalt now receive tiftv strokes with a stick uisin the soles of thy feet.*'

The scholar dc|iarted. followed by hi* wife.'but theIwasant was given his judgment in tlie presence of the udge and the people.

The next to ap|iear before the judge were the oil merchant and the butcher. “ The purse in thine.” said the iudge to the butcher. “ And to thee, for thy roguery, he said to the oil merchant, “ will now be given fifty strokes with a stick on the soles of thy feet.” The butcher therefore received his purse anil the oil merchant his punishment.

And now it was the Emir's and the beggar's turn to ap|K-ar before the judgment seat.

“ This is harder to decide," said the judge. Turn­ing towards the Kmir he inquired: “ Wouldst thouknow thy horse among twenty others?”

“ Certainly." replied the Kinir.“ And thou, likewise?" he asked tlie beggar.“ Of course."“ Come thou with me." commanded the iudge of the

Kmir. The two went together to a stable near by where, among twenty others, the Kmir at once pointed out his steed The judge thereupon sent for the beg­

gar who. in hi* turn. |*iinted out the steed from an<,n- the twenty other*.

Tlie judge, followed by the Emir and the beggar, again returned to the judgment seat.

•• The steed is thine," said the judge to the Emir, “ and shall straightway be given to thee. And thou." ■he continued, turning to the beggar, "sha lt receive f,,r thy knavery fifty stroke* with a stick on the sole* o fth y fee t."

When the judge wa* about to leave the judgment hall, he jierceived that the Kmir kept close to him

satisfied with my judgment?Fully satisfied." returned the Emir, “ but I would

fain know how thou didst discover that the woman was tne scholar's wife and not the |>easant's; that the purse belonged to the butcher and not to the oil mer chant: and, lastly, that the steed wa* mine and notthe beggar's. ” ,

“ Listen, and I will tell thee," replied the Judge. •• 1 commanded the woman to be brought to me this morning before the judgment hour. Giving her an ink pot, I requested her to clean and All it with fre*h ink She did it at once quickly and deftly, showing that the task was one she was accustomed to. Had *he been tlie iwasant's wife, never having done it before, she would have bungled at the work. Thi* proved to me that the scholar had spoken true when he claimed her for hi* wife.

*• A* regard* the money. I did thus: When I reached home last night I poured the coin* from the purse into a cup of clear water and left them there. Thi* morn ing, when I looked into the cup 1 saw no grease float ing about on the surface of the water. Had the seller of oil had the purse about him it would have been greasy ami the grease would have clung to the coins. The clearness of the water proved to me that the hutcher had spoken the truth when he asserted that the purse was hi*.

"A* regards thv matter, the truth was not so easy to be detected. The beggar needed no more time to (stint out the steed among twenty others than thou didst. For that reason I took you both to the stables, not to see which of you could recognise the steed, but which the steed would recognise. When thou drew nigh the horse turned his head in thy direction, but he paid no such attention to the beggar's presence Thi* showed me that the steed was thine and not hi*. *’

“ 1 am no merchant," now explained the other. “ but the Emir Kanakas. I came hither to see for myself if the re|*>rt* which I heard in the bazaars of my city of thy wisdom were true. Now that I see how wise "andC st in truth thou art. a*k what thou wilt and it shall

thine!"“ I ask for nothing more," returned the judge, “ than

the praise from thy lips; nor could 1 receive greater reward. " —Jrtrimh Spn-imtmr.

August, INC. ST AH OK '•BORN ON THE EARTH" ASTROLOGY.

In the July Stak I saitl that the stock-in-trade say­ing, “ l was horn on the Karth anil not on the Sun.” ** means, plainly (by inference), two things: That the geocentric system applies entirely to the Karth ami to the entire Karth. for if it does not apply to the whole Karth it is but a jiart of true Astrology. Second, that a Sun-centered system of Astrology cannot apply to the Earth or any part of it.”

If the foregoing is not what this oft reiterated ex­pression means let some astrologer detine it on behalf of the so-called geocentric system of Astrology. So far I have failed to discover any such definition. If it can be shown that my rendering of its meaning is ‘‘a stack of straw,” I will cheerfully lake it down, a|Hilo- gi*e to my geocentric brethren, and proceed to titlark their "authoritative" rendering of its meaning.

But it they choose to treat with "silent contempt " my rendition, as above, of this unthinking phrase they must not complain as to the judgment that the general reader may form in the matter.

Heretofore I have only smiled when some one has put forth this stock spying as an “ annihllator " of Heliocentric Astrology for the reason that it is per­fectly harmless of execution when analysed. It is only considered now for the reason that it has been pre­sented to me in such a way that it can Ik- represented that I have no reply to make to it, though brought di­rect to my attention by Mr. Hugh, if I keep silent.

Let us examine the meanings of this stock phrase:Does the geocentric system apply entirely to the

Earth* It does not appear so to me. This view is a narrow and unjust conclusion to entertain id the I’ra- nian Art of the great Kepler and the illustrious Lilly. Should any other planet of our solar system lie inhab­ited (which I agree may the case with tndh Venus and Mars) it is reasonable to hold that they know some­thing about Astrology, as well as we, for these rea­sons: The laws of planetary indications or influence,or both, must o|>erate on the |«ople of Venus or Mars. W frit)/ i rtf tit i t Itf ml i’ mtlttf nynletu, as well as on us who are "born on the Earth." just as all other natural laws must operate; to deny which would make astro­logical science a dealing with forces it would In- an ab­surdity to declare the existence of! Hecond. as As­trology is man's earliest intellectual |Mmsession. from evolutionary analogy (granting that some other planet or planets may be inhabited), they also must have as­trologers among them. The laws of Astrology o|K-r- ating on other inhabited planets, these laws formu­lated and used by astrologers, and the same placed on a planetary instead of a Hun basis land analogy shows that this result would also follow ip the natural evo­lution of the science)—the solar system has just so many—mit i/em-e nt r ie 1the Karth only) M llanrtary sys­tems of Astrology as inhabited planets, trhieh nyntemn atjrrr, / betirre, in their nut in /mint«, and until differ by reetmm o f the /nirtirular fdanet inhabited. It follows from this broad view of o-called (Jeocentric as Planetary Astrology that it does nut apply entirely to the Karth. and the stock saying so kindly handed down to me by

What |wirtlcu- lar |wrt, ".treeI or portion of thin planet has the honor of is-ing your birthplace* Was it at the North Pole* No; for you possess a geocentric horoscope of your latest incarnation, and my geocentric friends tell me (three first-class geocentric astrologers among them) that a geocentric horoscope cannot be cast for the North Pole. A "Table of Houses," made necessary by the “ telescoping " or some such closing in of the heavenly machinery as one departs northward from the temperate none cannot Ik- erected for the North Pole, where all the geocentric " houses " -merge and melt into one common point, "pool their issues," and eradicate "rising signs"—from which whine so-called geocentric Astrology finds the --ruling planet " of the •* native," however snugly such " ruling planet " may Ik- hidden away at the time in some Inferior angle of the "geocentric" heavens, and however powerfully some other planet may Ik- aspected, geocentrically or heliocentrically, at the time.

It is no off set to this to say that no one is born at the North Pole. Many are Isirn at Matocli- kin Sliar, within sixteen degrees of the Pole. (Hee "Town Nearest to North Pole," April Ht a u .) Where is the " Table of Houses" that can be used for this town? Mr. Hugh will not hold, I suppose, but that the astral forces of Astrology will operate ami tin op­erate even at the " ntinnii " of tile Pole itself, and that no man can escape death by |ierching himself u|sni it. where, in logical accord with the tables of so-called (Jencentric Astrology, his “ killing ” planet could not “ geocentrically " get at him. If the Harden of Eden was located at the North Pole, as |K-r an account in the March Ht a k . will Mr. Hugh kindly tell us under what particular evil -‘ geocentric" transit it was that Adam bit into the fatal pippin If Astrology is a true science its laws, self evidence .mist In- operative at the Pole as well as at the Equator.

In this more logical form the geocentric stink s a y ing sounds rather like an apology than a boast. Yet. as Mr. Hugh does not. like a priest, confine himself to candles in the daytime, he may have c a u s e to further a m e n d this silly phrase. W i u ,m V. W i i it k h k a Ii .

As is th e cane w ith all free ly ro ta tin g spherical bodies, th e axis of th e e a r th is wot rig id ly paralle l to itse lf ami. in conse­quence, th e e a r th 's poles change slightly from tim e to tim e. This varia tio n is, how­ever, too insignificant to hr of consequence and is, indeed, scarcely no tices We.

For a ll p rac tica l purposes th e te r re s tr ia l pole may be regarded as fixed. Not so is th e ce les tia l pole.

T he trav e lin g s of th e Pole S ta r through space have, however, noth ing to do with th e trav e lin g s o f th e pole itse lf.

WHY WE WAR ON THE WOLF.W e have been asked how long we are

going to " wage war " on w hat we "c a n n o t ag ree w ith !"’ W e answ er, th a t where the m a tte r Is one of opinion m erely, we p re ­sent our reasons for holding otherw ise, as In th e question of " f a ta l is m ."

A gainst th is class of false p re tenders the St a k has waged “ w ar," If an outs|siken presen ta t ion o f th e tru th can lie so term ed, ami so long as " g r a f te r s " infest th e realm of th e O ccult the realm whose science, a r t and philissiphy the STAH alm s to re p re ­sent just so long, as a m a tte r of duty and devotion to < teeultlxni and O ccultists, will we thus uncom prom isingly “ wage w a r" f« Ihi limit. W e cannot consent, through a policy of " d is c re e t silence ,” to Is- classed with any fak ir, fraud or fan a tic who uses th e Oci ult as a cloak " f o r w hat th e re is in It " o r for purely selfish ends.

H ear in miml, however, th a t th e Occult is not ami cannot tie made a commodity.

To these wise teach e rs we owe a lasting debt o f reverence, ap p rec ia tio n and g r a t i ­tude. W ithout th e ir unselfish devotion and distinguished serv ices th e cause of t V r u lt ism would lie seriously impeded.

Hut while we honor and esteem these tru e laborers in th e occult vineyard whatshall we say of those pretended w earers o f its holy m antle? rih.il! th e ed ito rs of th e occult press who a re n a tu ra lly th e w atchm en on our tow ers keep silen t and
