HypnOtisnn.

The facts connected with mesmerism,
or animal magnetism, electro biology,
odylic or odic force, Or hypnotism, as it
has been variously termed, appears to be
of very similar if not identical nature
The only difference seems to be that in
sleep walking the peculiar condition
comes on spontaneously and during
sleep, while in mcsmcrsm this is brought
about purposely and through the agency
of an operator or Of some sort Of mechan.
ical contriyance calculated to impress
the imagination of the subject Tho
different terms used to indicate the con-
dition signify the theories that have
been, from time to time, advanced to
account for the facts observed. Hypnot-
ism simply means sleep, and indicates
nothing in the way of accounting for it.
All the others imply that something
emanates from the magnetizer or mes
merizer which produces the effect in the
subject of the experiment.
The sleep purposely induced by vari-
Gus methods, now known under these
names, is nothing new. In all ages, and
in every country that possesses traditions
or records, such events have been known.
Thus, it is known that among the As
syrians, Babylonians, Persians, Chal-
deans, Egyptians, Romans and the
Greeks, certain of their priests threw
people into deep sleep in the shades of
the temples, and produced other effects
now referred to animal magnetism. In
the middle of the seventeenth century
many people in England claimed to have
the power Of curing diseases by stroking
with the hand. The most notable of
these was Valentine Greatrakes Of Affane,
county Waterford, Ireland. He was
subjected to scientific and theological
investigation, and many Of his cures Of
scrofula, etc, are attested by the best of
witnesses = sceptical investigators. -

But the dial could be used only in the

when the sun was covered with clouds.
In order to measure the hours of tbs
NIGHT as well as the hours of the day, the
Greeks and Romans used the clepsydra,
which means: "The water steals away. )"
4 LARGE Jar was filed with water, and a
Mole was made in the bottom through
which the water could run. The glass,
IN those days, was not transparent No
one could see from the outside hsw much
water had escaped So there was made
on the inside. certain marks that told the
hours as the water ran out; or else stick
with notchcs in the edge was dipped into
the water. and the depth of what was left
showed the hour. Sometimes the water
droppcd into another jar in which block
of wood was floating, the block rising as

some very rich man had a ciepsydra that

There are two kinds of weasels in the
Eastern States. The smaller kind feeds
chiefly on mice and insects and is not
known to kill poultry. The larger preys
also mainly on mice and rats, but in adj

Of the hawks and owls which inhabit
Pennsylvania. Our hawks and owls
must be ranked among the best friends
