BORDER LAND OF SCIENCE
Bomo Further Explanation Upon the
Subject of Hypnotism.
MANY THINGS ARE CLOTHED IN MYSTERY
Scientific DlNuiiNHloii of 1'hciioiiioiiii of
KplrltmillHiii Iiy Hev. COIUIUIIN of
the Uri-lulitou Uiilvurxity
, of Thin City.
Last Sunday a portion of the address o !
Hov. Father Coppens , M. D. , delivered be
fore the medical class of the Crclghtom uni
versity was published In The Dee. Today the
balance Is published , the subject being the
"Ilordcr Land of Science. "
"After considering the objections to the
use or rather abuse of hypnotism , I may adi
eoiiio further explanation of hypnotism Itself
V
self , of Its nature so far as It Is known to
science. Science has ascertained the reality
of the phenomena and facts not slnglo facto
only , scattered hero and there , but groups ol
facts uniformly obedient to certain laws of
nature. It has not yet discovered the exact
causu or causes of all these phenomena , but
It gives plausible explanations of them , both
in the physical theory of the Paris school and
in the psychical theory of the Nancy Schodl
of Physicians. Science has discarded the
original theory of a mesmeric fluid as the
cause of these phenomena , Just as It has dis
carded the formerly supposed fluids of elec
tricity and magnetism. Of electricity the
Century dictionary says , 'A name denoting
the eauso of an Important class of phe
nomena of attraction and repulsion , chemical
decomposition and so on , or , collectively ,
these phenomena themselves. ' Tha true nature
turo of electricity Is as yet not all under
stood , but it la not , as It was formerly under
stood to be , of the nature of a fluid. Simi
larly wo may define hypnotism as tbo col
lection of peculiar phenomena of a trance or
Hlccp artlflctally Induced , or the Induced
trAlico or elccp Itself.
"Tho true cause of these phenomena Is
not yet understood , but thcro Is no apparent
reason for attributing them to a special
lluld ; they seem to bo peculiar ways of act-
lug , belonging to man's physical powers
when his nerves are In an abnormal condi
tion. IIy laying down these definite state
ments wo gain the advantage that wo Iso
late hypnotism from the frauds and empty
shades , from the ghosts and hobgoblins
with which It used to bo associated In the
border region which wo have undertaken
to explain. Science deals with well-ascer
tained facts. Now of mesmerism , animal
anu us Kindred idealism. Wo
have seen that wo have no reliable facts.
Wo have done with these unsubstantial
shades. Hut of hypnotism wo have well
known facts and wo have shown It to bo
placed on a scientific basis ,
SCIENCE DHEADS IGNORANCE.
"Of clairvoyance , mind reading , palmistry ,
feplrltual science cures wo have no certain
facts , but wo have many Impostures
connected with them. If over wo get real
and undoubted facts proved to bo connected
vlth them wo ought to examine them with
caro. Science Is not afraid of any portion
of nature ; all It dreads Is Ignorance , and
what laorso , error. Error with regard
to facia may bo committed In two ways
by admitting as facts what are not facts
and by denying facts which uro. Now , there
uro facts certain and well ascertained , nu
merous and widely known , connected with
Bomo other portions of the border land of
Bclciico that wo have not yet looked Into ,
though I have mentioned their names. Who
would assort that spiritism , table turning ,
spirit rapping and so on are moro Idle talks
Bhecr Impostures , 1 * not well road In the
literature of the present day , Iiy denying
all reality to these phenomena ho strays
as far from the truth as If ho allowed hlm-
Bolf to believe niero fabrications. They arp
not Impositions , but they nro worao ; they
are superstitions. ' Iy superstitions I mean
Jiero the practice of producing results which
cannot possibly proceed from the powers
ol nature , auj which could not without
absurdity bo attributed to the Interfcrcnc
of the Creator or Hla good angcla.
"Some persona strenuously object to In
troduclng any reference to God into scion
tlflc works. Science consists of tracln
known effects to their true causes. If thcr
wcro no God , Ho could not bo a true caus
and It would bo unscientific to Introduc
His agency , nut if thcro Is a God an
Ho acts In the world which Ho has mad
wo must take His actions Into accoun
when wo study His works. Some say , '
do not bellevo In a God. ' That may be , bu
that docs not prove that there Is no Goi
Uellef Is a man wilful and free accepl
anco of what Is proposed to him on tbo au
thorlty of someone else. Students hav
most of their knowledge on the authorlt
of their professors and other men of learn
Ing. If a medical student would say , '
do not bellovo In microbes nor in contagion
by disease germs , ' that would not kill th
germs nor protect him against contagion
Nor would It show his superior wisdom
but rather his extravagant conceit and Ig
norance. So with these who bellovo not In
God.
"There are others who bellovo not In th
existence of devils or fallen angels. That
Is not so bad. but yet they must remembo
that their refusal to bellovo In devils docs
not prove that there are none. The greates
enemies of science are these who blindly
maintain false statements and false prln
clples of knowledge. Let us look for the
truth In every Investigation. Even Huxley
In the midst of his attacks on dogmatic re
llglon , protested also against dogmatic In
fidelity. Science , ho says , Is as llttlo
atheistic ns It Is materialistic. All this
must bo remembered chiefly when wo under
take to explore , as we are now doing , the
unknown region - whichwo have called the
border land of sclenco. There wo find man >
strange phenomena , and wo are trying to
discover their true nature and true causes
If wo can. explain some of them by natural
causes , as by the powers of the Imagination
when it Is in nn abnormal or hypnotic state
very well , let us explain them. But let us
not rashly conclude that all other phenomena
can bo thus explained. Do not reason this
way , aa some writers have done. Some ef
fects they say wcro formerly attributed to
witchcraft or deviltry and can now bo ex
plained by hypnotism. Therefore all other
mysterious effects can also bo thus ex
plained. Therefore there Is , not and never
was such a thing as witchcraft or deviltry.
So , too , some events often reputed mirac
ulous , can bo explained by natural causes ,
therefore no miracles have ever happened.
That Is the reasoning of rash and Ignorant
men , and not of scientific minds. It docs
not follow from the fact that God usually
works by natural causes , that ho cannot on
special occasions and for very Important
reasons show His hand , as it were , and net so
manifestly against the cause of nature as
o show us that It Is Ho who la at work and
[ lo wants us to mind Him. History fur
nishes many Instances of this kind.
CREDENTIALS OF CHRIST.
"Least of all have Christians a right to
leny this , and wo must remember that the
the civilized world ! a Christian , almost en
tirely Christians bellevo , In the reliability of
the bible , and In It wo are constantly In
armed of the countless miracles In various
ages. If all three accounts are false , then
Chrlsthnlty Is a vast Impcature. Christ
appealed to them aa to III.i credentials In His
illusion to the world. "If you do not hellovo
ne. " ho said , "bollevo my works , for they
; lvo testimony of .mo. The blind see ; tlio
a me walk ; the dead are raised to llfo , and
so on. " If ho spoke falsely , ho was a do-
colver , If ho worked these marvels by hyp
notism , or any other natural cause , ho wan
an Impoater. There Is no middle way.
Either by worklm ? true miracles Ho proved
himself to bo what Ho claimed to be , the
Son of God , or Ho WAS the moit bold and
detestable Imposture that has ever appeared
on earth. ThLi no Christian can suppose ,
thin no historian would admit ; therefore , we
must grant that Ho worked miracles , and
miracles are realities to bo taken Into account
by the writers of hUtory. and ( identifies work
ers must not sneer at them.
"Scientific men In tholr Investigations , need
not expect to como Into contact with mira
cles , but they may and , do find In the bor
der land of science , facts which reveal the
agency of Intellectual bclngo distinct from
men , and too vulgar In tholr manifestation
to bo confounded with God or Hla blcisucd
angclB. Such agents In the book of tbo ncrlp-
turea are called dovlla , r.nd Intercourse with
them la atylod uperatltloa , eeklng their
assistance Is magic or witchcraft , and con
sulting them Is divination or fortune tell
ing. All these practices are directly and
strictly forbidden In the scriptures , and yet
they nro commonly enough In use In our
own day , to procure effects that gratify the
curiosity of such especially as have no set
tled belief In supernatural religion.
-"Somo of thcao effects are connected with
bodily cures and thus are of Interest to
physicians. For Instance , spiritualistic
mediums , whether connecting their practices
with magnetism or notr though entirely Ig
norant of medicine , arc nt times , able to state
the exact bodily Indisposition of sick persons
living nt a great distance put Into communi
cation with them by holding some object be
longing to them. They will Indicate the seat
of the disorder , its nature and progress , itn
complications. They propose simple and
eillcaclous remedies , using not infrequently
technical terms , which wore certainly un
known to them before. They manifest the
thoughts of others , reveal family secretn ,
nnswer questions put In languages of which
they know nothing' . To deny facts attested
by thousands of witnesses of various nations
belonging to varlou- ; religious denominations
or professing no religion whatever , Is not the
spirit of science. It Is estimated that 100-
000 spiritist books and pamphlets are sold
yearly In the United States alone. It is
certain that much , very much Imposture I
mixed up with many undeniable facts , bu
that does not dispose of the real facts jnlxci
up with the Impostures. Tyndall had one
caught an Ill-starred spiritualistic Imposto
nt his Juggling. Ho concluded that all othe
spiritists were Impostors. The world no\
laughs at him for his foolish reasonfng.
"Of course , I do not suppose that spirit-
Ism Is mainly employed In such matters
as would directly Interest the physlcjan
It has grown Into n system of religion am
morals , very peculiar and nt varlauco with
the Christian religion , a system rather ic
sombllng the religion of Buddha , with Its
reincarnations and transmigrations of souls
whllo struggling after eternal after-progress
This is fully and clearly explained In an
article on 'Spiritism In Ita True Charac
ter' In the English publication called 'Tho
Mont' of September , 1892. Hut with this
[ ) lmso of It wo are not now concerned , As
to the facts , it Is enough to remark that
spiritists claim n following of 20,000.000.
Suppose there are only one-half that num
ber , 10,000,000 people are not readily do-
: olved about matters of tholr dally observa
tion , for tholr meetings or sconces consist
or-ioily of these manifestations which others
call impostures.
"Tholr ndhercnts nro i-hlefly among the
educated classes , I bellovo. Certainly they
ncludc multitudes of doctors , lawyers , pro-
o&sors , scientists , magistrates , clergymen ,
close students of keen Intellects , oven sucli
men ns Alfred Russell , Wallace , Profs , Mor
gan , Mnrloy , Challls , William Carpenter
ind Edward Cox. If ono has still lingering
loubts on this matter let him read the four
earned articles written by my predecessor
n this chnlr nf mpfltn.it liirlunmrlnnmi T > mr
amcs F. Hotter , the former president of
Jrclghton university. They are found In
ho American Catholic Quarterly Review for
SS2 ana 18S2.
"What must wo think of the nature of
iplritism , with its spirit rapplngs , table
urnlng , spirit apparitions and so on. Con
ho facts , which are not Imposture , but realt
ies , bo explained by the Jaws of nature ,
ho powers of material agents and of men ?
\11 that could possibly bo done by the most
killed scientists , by the most determined
latcrlallsts who bellovo neither In God nor
omen , ns well as by the most conscientious
Christians , has only served to demonstrate
o perfect evidence that effects are produced
vhlch can no moro bo attributed to natural
goney than speech and design can bo nt-
rlbutod to a piece of wood. Ono principle
f science throws much light on the nnture
f nil these performances , namely , that
very effect must have a proportionate cause ,
'hen the effect shows knowledge and de
ign the cnuso must bo Intelligent. Now
nany of these marvels evidently show
inowledgo and drslgn , therefore the cause
s certainly intelligent.
"A table cannot understand ami answer
iicstlons ; It cannot move at n person's bid-
Ing. A medium cannot speak In a lan-
uago ho linn never learned , nor know the
ocret ailment of n patient far away , nor
rescrlba the proper remedies without know ) .
Igo of modlclno. Therefore these effects
lion they really exist , are duo to Intclll-
cnt agents , agents distinct from the per
sons visibly present , invisible agents there
fore , spirits of another world.
"Who are these agents ? God and His gooc
angda cannot work upon these wrctchei
marvels , the food of a morbid curiosity , no
could they put themselves at the disposal o
pious men to bo trotted out as monkc > s
on the stage. The spirits which are made to
appear at the seances nro degraded spirits
Spiritualists themselves tell us they are
lying spirits. These lying spirits say they
are the souls of the departed , but who cai
bellovo their testimony , If they are lylnj ,
spirits as they are acknowledged to bs
This whole combination of Imposture and
suporsl'ltlon Is simply the revival In a mod
ern dress of a very ancient deception o
mankind by playing on men's craving for
the marvelous. Many Imagine these nro re
cent discoveries , peclllar to this ago of prog
ress. AVhy ? This spirit writing Is nnd has
been for centuries extensively practiced m
benighted pagan China , whllo oven Africans
and Hindoos are great adepts nt table
turning. It Is simply the revival of nnclenl
witchcraft , which Simon Magus practiced In
St. Peter's tlmo ; which flourished in Ephe-
sus whllo St. Paul was preaching the gospel
there. It Is moro ancient still. These were
tho' abominations for which God commis
sioned the Jews In Moses' time to exter
minate the Canaanltes and the other 'Inhabl-
tents of the promised land. In the book
of Mcses called Deuteronomy or Second Law.
admitted as divine by Catholics , Prolestamta
and Jews alike , wo have this fact very
emphatically proclaimed by the Lord. Ho
says : 'When thou are come Into the land
which the Lord , thy God shall give thee ,
bswaro lest thou hast a mind to Imitate
the abominations of these nations. Neither
shall thcro bo found among you any one that
oansultcth soothsayers or observes dreams
and omens , neither let there be any wizard
or charmer , nor any one that consul tcth
pythonlo spirits or fortune tellers , or that
scekoth the tjuth from the dead. '
"Is not this Just what spiritualists pre
tend to < lo ? Many may call it only trifling
and play. The Lord does not. The Scrip
tures continue , 'For the Lord abhorreth all
these things , and for thi'.io abominations
Ho will destroy them at thy coming. " I
certainly do not mean to say that all that
passes for spiritualism Is thus downright
deviltry today , nor was It o In pagan times.
Much Imposture wcs mixed with it , The
oracles of the pagan gods and goddesses
were not nil tlio work of the pythonle spir
its. Much was craft of the priests of Idols ,
and yet all were abominations before the
Lord , on account of the share that satan
took In the deceptions ,
"Whet must be the attitude of the scientific
man toward all such matters ? It should be
an attitude of hostility and opposition.
Science should frown down all Imposture and
superstition. Medlolno in particular. In
tended to bo one of the choicest blessings
of God to man , should npt degrade its noble
profession by pandcriinj to n vulgar greed
for morbid excitement/ Not only will you
personally keep a loo/ from all that I * allied
to quarkcry and Imposture , but In after llfo
your powerful inftuericb for good will bo
most efficient In guarding others against such
cvlla , and even pcrhitpa'Pn withdrawing from
cuch associations thbso who .liave already
got entangled In dangerous wwres. At all
events the enlightened Views you shall have
formed to yourselves oif'all such Impostures
and Impieties will be a ; power for good In
the social circle /which your mental su
periority and your moral' Integrity will make
you safe guides for joni' fellow men. "

Tlio nanio of General Grant as a candidate
for the presidency was not presented before
the republican national convention , of 1SS4
though every reference on that occasion to
the old soldier was received with prolongei
applause. At that period ho was undergo
Ing deep afllictlon. Among the shadows sur
rounding him as the result of the failure o
the Wall street firm of Grant & Ward , with
which his sons were Identified , appeared the
constant light of confidence- the part o
the people In the Integrity of the late pres
ident , ns well as of the members of his
family.
The real contestants for the first place
ou the ticket wcro Mr. Ulnlno and President
Arthur , though ono clement in the party lei
by the late Governor William Curtis
brought forward the name of Senator Gcorgo
F. Edwards of Vermont.
Many representatives of the Grant clenlent
were among the Arthur faction , but when
the convention adTburred after selecting
Senator John A. Logan as Mr. Dlalno'a run
ning mate , tlio adherents of all contestants
appeared satisfied.
In addition to his financial prostration
General Grant almost simultaneously re
ceived a physical disability by falling on the
sidewalk while alighting from a cab. An
obstinate injury to ono leg caused him much
lain , but as soon as ho could do so ho
) luckily took up a pair of crutches , and his
familiar figure was often seen In the pleas
ant summer weather hobbling along upper
' 'Ifth avcuue , or In Central park near his
ionic.
Ill the fnll of 1884 , when tlio campaign was
at its height , Mr. Dlaliio visited Now York
n connection with his memorable political
our. Ho stopped at the Fifth Avonua hotel ,
and during his stay ills rooms on the third
leer were dally thronged with visitors. Ono
iright morning Just before his departure
hero was an extraordinarily largo crowd
present , consisting of nome of the best known
politicians of the Eastern and Middle states.
Among these was Hon. Stephen H. Elklns ,
low United Stairs senator from West Vlr-
tlnla , and .then , as at present , a member of
ho republican national committee.
AN UNEXPECTED CALL.
It was known that many of the former ad-
hereuts of General Grant , as well as of the
followers of Mr. Conkllnc , were not friendly
to Mr. Illalno personally or cordial In sup
port of his candidacy. Even the real qual
ity of General Grant's Individual predilec
tions cs between President Arthur and Mr.
Dlalno was a question of doubt , as well aa
a subject of considerable concern. Every
ono recalled the service ho rendered the
party in the Garflcld campaign of 1880. The
Inquiry as to how ho stood in relation to
Mr. Illalno was constantly heard.
On the morning referred to this very ques
tion was being discussed in private convcraa-
tlon among the gentlemen assembled In Mr.
Ulalno's room. Ono of the callers was an
old member of the Grand Army of the Ho-
public from Philadelphia , Ho retired from
the gathering about noon in order to take
a train for hla homo , shaking hands with
several persons near the door aa ho passed
out.

The place on a sofa near the door , inado
vacant by the departure * of the Phlladcl-
phlan , was promptly taken by a newspaper
man who enjoyed the privileges of the. room
and who had been delegated by Mr. Elklns
to act as doorkeeper an that occasion.Vlillo
ho sat conversing with his neighbor on the
sofa ho heard a gentle knock. Quickly ris
ing and opening the door ho was startled
on beholding tlio grim face of General
Grant , who stood In the hall leaning upon
his crutches by the sldo of the Philadel
phlan.
"Why , General Grant , " ho quietly exclaimed
claimed , as the old chieftain kindly extcndct
his hand in recognition.
Then the Phlladelphlan said softly : "

Just as I was passing out of the hotel , am
when I told him Mr. Illalno was hero ho
said ho would like to call upon him. Wll
you please tell Mr. Ulalno that the general
la hero ? "
The young man gently pushed the door
far enough toward the latch to conceal Gen
eral Grant from the view of the group within
the apartment , and hastily making his way
through the crowd to the front window , at
which Mr. Illalno and Mr. Elltlus were en
gaged In conversation , ho leaned over the
shoulder of Mr. Ulalno and whispered :
"Excuse me , Mr. LJIalnc. General Grant
la at the door and wishes to see you. "
A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
In a second Mr. Dlaino wan on his feet ,
olbotflng his way through the crowd , while
Mr. Elklns , who had not understood clearly
the nature of the announcement , also arose
and remained standing In a mystified way.
Mr. Illalno himself opened the door and
extending both bands exclaimed :
"Good morning , General Grant. I am dc-
llchted to sco you. "
As the old hero hobbled In , escorted by
Mr. Dlalno , who walked backwards , and the
familiar face , saddened somewhat by the
shadows of hla misfortunes , was recognized ,
a great shout arose from the assembled
group. The scene by reason of Its simplicity
together with the sentiment underlying the
Incident , was both thrilling and pathetic.
General Grant had declined to go up on the
elevator , preferring to ascend the stalra
quietly and unobserved , Ho seemed tired ,
and dropping Into an arm chair near the
door ho remained seated there , meanwhile
shaking hands cordially with those presented
to him by Mr. Illalno and Mr. Elklns. After
a lapse of about half an hour ho arose , bade
every ono goodbye and placing his crutches
under his arms , hobbled out Into the hall
and downi the stairs to tire street. Of course
the fact of this visit was widely heralded
because of the friendly spirit thus evinced
by cx-prcsldent toward Mr. Dlalno.
REPENTED THE SLIGHT.
Mr. nialne remained in the city three days
after this occurrence. On the evening after
his departure , a member of the executive
committee of the republican national com
mittee , accompanied by hla wlfo. both of
whom wcro on cordial terms of friendship
with General and Mrs. Grant , as well as with
Mr. and Mrs. Illalno , made an evening call
upon the former at their homo. Their re
ception was pleasant , but not demonstrative ,
ind when the four wcro seated In the draw
ing room , conversation seemed to lag. The
ladles sat sldo by sldo on a sofa ; the men
In arm chalra eklo by sldo In the center of
the room. Occasionally a few words would
como from the sofa , and then a few mur
murs wcro heard from the place occupied
jy the men ; but thcro was more talk on the
jofa than In the arm chain ; . After the
apse of half a in hour or more , the vlsltorn
iroso to go and wore not pressed to remain
anger. Reaching the street , the committeeman -
man Bald to his wlfo :
"What In the world is the- matter with
General and Mrs. Grant. Ho would not
allow himself to.get Into conversation with
no , and you seemed to bo having about as
iard n tlmo of It on the sofa. "
"I will tell you , " replied his wife. "Gen-
cral Grant feels very much hurt because
after hobbling up two flight ! of tnlr.i at the
"If Hi Avenue hotel to pay his refpccta to
Mr. Illalno , the other day , Mr. Illalno had

IBS driven twlco through the park within a
cw hundred yarda of the homo , once with

The commlttecman saw through the cause
of the coolnmi of the reception accorded ,
lo was not responsible for the oversight on
he part of Mr. Illalno , but ho quickly recog
nized ItH political Importance. Ho know It

related to him the remark of n farmer who ,
after hearing n flro-and-brlmstono sermon
from nn old-stylo preacher , condoled his wlfo
by saying : "Never mind , Sally ; that must
bo wrong. No coustltooshun couldn't stand

slipped and fell flat on his back. The min

assured that ho was not hurt , said to htm :
"Friend , sinners stand on slippery places. "
The old gentleman looked up as If to assura
himself of the fact , and said : "I sco they
do ; but I can't. "
Wiggles Have you heard the news ? They
say old man Wcathcrspoon has Joined tha

Waggles You don't say so ! ( thoughtfully ) .
Well , I suppose that's a good thing for old
Wcathcrspoon , but I confess I am a llttlo
anxious about the members of the church.
A correspondent relates this Incident of a
recent dinner In Philadelphia , at which
Archbishop Ityan ( Roman Catholic ) and Dr.
Watson were present : "It would bo a great
mistake to suppose that the archbishop
dwells in an atmosphere of ghosts or Is
saturated with gloom. It was quite delight
ful to sco him and Dr. Watsnn fraternlzo and
exchange felicities. The archbishop Bald the
Inquiry had been made why all the nlno
Muses are represented as unmarried. It was
suggested in reply that It was thought moro
In accordance with delicacy and sentiment
.hat they should bo pure , unmarried virgins.
Hut the archbishop's response was : 'No ,
.hat Is not the reason ; it Is because all these
who woo the Muses are so poor that they are
novcr able to propose marriage to them. ' "
At ono of the recent revival services held
at noon In Old Epiphany church In Phil
adelphia , a ragged , unkempt tramp walked
n , apparently supposing It to bo a charltablo
soup establishment. When ho saw his mla-
ako ho started to go out , but was stayed by
ono of the evangelical workers.
"Stop with us , " ho said.
Dut the tramp persisted In going out , sayIng -
Ing , "I'm In do wrong place. "
"No , you'ro not , " responded the evangel
ist ; "wo are glad to sco you. "
'Hut , " said the tramp , "youso are all
strangers ter me. "
"That may be , " replied the other , "but wo
ire servants of the Lord , and the Lord , you
enow , wont among strangers. "
"Yaas , " sentcntlously added the tramp ,
'and they didn't do a thing tor him. "
Dumfounded by the display of biblical
earning , the gentlman allowed the tramp to
pass , and when outMdo the door ho was ob-
orvcd to sigh deeply and walk rapidly away
vlth the air of a man who had Just escaped
vlth his llfo.
