An Extraordinary Story.

The police Of Budapest, Hungary,
are investigating truly marvellous
case. A boy at the public grammar
school has confessed to his father that
he has for some time past taken money
from the till in his shop. being ordered
to do so by man who had made him
a subject of experiments OF hypnotism.
The father went TO the school authori-
ties, and il was discovered that a whole
class of boys was in similar plight.
They acted as mediums" and by a
process known as suggestion" were
made TO steal money from their
parents and bring it to the ardent
scientist in question. The affair is
still wrapped in mystery and is the one
topic of conversation.
