HYPNOTISM.
Interesting Scientific Experiments b.
Prof. Dienis.

Prof. Dieuis mYstified a large number
of people last evening at Keefe hall by
his experiments in hypnotism. The pro-
lessor explained that hypnotic subjects
could be placed under influences which
are divided into three classes or grades.
The first is the electrical, in which only
the muscles are controlled and not the
mind. In the second or physiological
state the mind of the subject is under con-
troll of another and mental Authorizations
result. The third state is that of COM
plete hypnotism. The subject is put into
natural sleep from which he can be
aroused to perform any OF the mandates
of the operators will.
Volunteer subjects for experiments were
called for. Three young men and an
equal number of ladies vent forward.
They were seated in a row near the stage
and told to look intently at their thumbs.
While doing this the professor made
three downward passes with his hands
over their faces and the party were evil
IDENTIFY sound asleep. OF the volunteers
young Mr.. Richardson was the most plas-
tic subject on the professors hands. A
few passes over his face and he found it
impossible to open his eyes. He could
not unclasp his hands until permission
was given by the professor. Orders to
twirl his thumbs, rotate his hands, whirl
around rapidly and similar movements
were executed with passive obedience. Al.
though a bright student the subject in
sisted that at spelled Sam. The profess
sor attempted to control the optIce nerve
and after closing Richardson's eyes asked
him to open them and he would find the
audience had disappeared. This expert
ment was not successful.
Richardson was persuaded that he was
on the banks of a trout stream. A cane
was placed in his hands which he believed
was a fishing pole. He pulled out imag-
mary fish and cooked them on an imagin-
airy fire. When cooled he ate them and
was brought to consciousness lust as he
was vigorously chewing a wad of paper he
had Just pronounced a delicious morsel of
trout.
A wonderful feat was that of causing
the subjects body to become rigid plac-
ing him so that his head rested upon one
chair his feet upon another. The pro-
fessor her stood upon the extended form
OF the unconscious subject Other equally
interesting experiments are performed. A
large number of the audience remained
alter the lecture to take lessons in the
science of hypnotism.

I'VE do not claim" said Capt. Stacey
of the s. A, the other evening, that
our way is the only way of getting saved"
In addition to being an evidence of san
ity, this utterance is comforting and re-
markable in that it differs from the asser-
lions OF some more pr%etentious followers
of the meek and lowly who maintain hat
they have a proprietary interest in the
only proper salvation.

Electricity Instead of Sand.

A series of experiments with new cleo
trical appliance for increasing the tractive
power of locomotive engines has Just been
successfully concluded by Elias E. Ries, of
Baltimore, on the Philadelphia g. Reading
railroad The trials were made on the
F'rackvile grade, one of the steepest on
the Reading system, and were pronounced
eminently satisfactory in every respect.
The apparatus consists of small dynamo
and engine mounted upon the locomotive
and furnishing an electric current, which
is passed forward to the rear driving
wheels, through that portion of the track
rails living between them. The passage of
the current into the wheels and back causes
an increased friction between the wheels
and the rails, which is claimed to be far
superior to that obtained by sanding the
tracks, and enables the locomotive TO draw
a much heavier train, without regard to the
condition of the track, than is at present
possible The Frackville grade averages
IS5 feet to the mile, and with the dynamo
running and a train of forty five cars at
tached 10 the locomotive the ascent was
made in twenty eight minutes while with
out the current trip over the same ground
with the same train behind requires fifty
five minutes. The current used is what is
termed low tension current, and the in
creased traction obtained is under complete
control by the engineer.

Perils of the Road.

Engineers at rest, sitting in the narrow
cabs of their engines, lying at the depot
waiting for the signal to start often look
to be sleepy set of fellows said the man
the other night who runs the limited to
Alliance. 'Do you know" he continued.
addressing a reporter, that engineers are
always wide awake when they seem to be
Indifferent to events happening about them?
There are few things that escape their
vigilant eyes. Many people have an idea
that engineers go it blind and trust en-
tlreiy to the block system and the acute
ness of good telegraph operators. but if
they did this there would be wrecks and
lives lost every day. A good engineer is
always on the lookout. We see plenty of
things ahead of US that harrow our nerves
and make the hair stand up straight. bnt
IS long as the passengers behind US don't
know 1t, and we all escape uniniured. we,
heave sigh of relief and say nothing.
tell you 1t is 40 easy matter to hold a throt
tie, shoot around sharp curves and watch
for distractions. An engineer looks down
for moment at the connecting rods of the
locomotive moving backward and forward
with lightning like rapidity He doesn't
know at what minute pin may break, and
one of the rods knock his brains out as he
leans out of the cab. We have tomake sched-
ule time; the road is full of curves, and we
are likely to bang into these trains as we
pass them. Little do people know how
rasping 1t is on the nerves to be continually
making narrow escapes, ard yet one invar
iably feels that some day he is bound to
get it in the neck 1t is the uncertainty
of the business that is so trying. Pitts

The Rio Grande,s Now.

The Denver Short Line Railway com
pany has been Incorporated by Sylvester
T. Smith, Samuel N. Wood. Edward O
Wolcott, Roswell E. Briggs and Andrew
S. Hughes. The company is organized
with capital stock of s., 900, 900, and is un-
der the supervision of a board of five direc-
tors, namely: David H. Moffat Walter s.
Cheesman, Samuel n. Wood, Edward O.
Wolcott and Roswell E. Briggs. The road
will be constructed along the line running
from point on the line separating Arapa
hoe and Douglas counties between Little
ton and Acequia, thence southwesterly I'D
the valley of the South Platte river
through ArapahOe, Douglas, jefferson M
Paso and Park counties to Lidderdale on
the line of the Colorado Midland in Perl-
county, thence southwesterly to Buena
Vista on the Rio Grande railway, thence to
Grand junction, the terminus or objective
polnt being Elko on the Central Pacific
railway passing through Salt Lake,
The @rucIes Of incorporation embrace the
right OF the company to construct, operate
and maintain single or double tracks. s;;iie
tracks, switches, stations, as they NAV
deem advisable, and also the construction
and operation of telephone and telegraph
service along the line Of road above men
toned, besides the purchase and operation
OF coal lands and mines.
d. H. Moffat, one OF the prime movers in
this new enterprise, is now in New York
for the express purpose of arranging mat
tiers in connection with this movement
The principal offices of the company will
be located in this city, as the prominence of
the management of the Rio Grande in this
new line would indicate.
The principal object of this road is to
strike the rich mineral regions in Colorado
as well as that further west. It is under
stood that the line as surveyed will reach
some of the richest coal fields yet undevel-
oped in the state and also in Utah
The event has not been unexpected in
railway circles, for ever since the move
ment of the Burlington westward it has
been a foregone conclusion that the Rio
Grande would push its traffic in that direc-
ton over another line. In fact, the strug-
gle in railway matters has been to secure
the available routes through the mountains
and the movement of the minerals alone in
the future is safe guarantee of each one
proving a safe investment.-DenverN elrs

THE Test of Experiment.

Let those, if any such there be, who
question the efficacy of "Glenn's Sulphur
Soap as a means of preventing and oblit-
Grating complexional blemishes, give this
harmless cosmetic fair and honest trial,
There is no test like experiment to convince
the Judgment, and to that test Glenn fear
lessly appeals. Remember that "Glenn's
Sulphur Soap" differs entirely from the
dangerous cosmetics, and contains no dele
terious substance. Beware of counter
feits. Sold by druggists Coupled with
this appointment of the toilet, 'Hill's In
Simultaneous Hair Dye" finds its place in
the dressing rooms of fashion. Time is in
exorable, and damages must be repaired 4;

man and has expressed determination to
become practical railroad man. He has
just returned from Europe, whittier he
went to accompany his two sisters, who
are students at a Berlin college.
1t is said that Jay Gould and his party
will visit Salt Lake before he returns to
the east. He is now making tour of the
Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western, and as he intends to show the
young ladies of his party all the wonders
of the west, he can do no less than take in
this city and surroundings. The special
car, Atlanta, in which the railroad magnate
travels, also contains his daughter, Miss
Gould, Edwin Gould, Miss Fisher, Willard
Fisher and DR.. John P. Mum. The latter
is Mr.. Gould's medical attendant.
Rumor has it that Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe directors contemplate issuing a
blanket mortgage for the enormous sum OF
5000, 000, 600, sum which will discount the
remarkable financial performances of the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. St. Paul and North
ern Pacific companies, hitherto unequaled.
AS the new mortgage, according to the pro
posed plan, will bear only ( per cent in
terest, it will if issued and disposed of, ma
terially reduce the present fixed charges.
The October interest on Atchison securities
was promptly paid, although it was not
furnished by the earnings, but by the
DduhluR
directors.
The Boston News Bureau says: What
ever Mr.. Wizards eXtravagances of
finance may lead to, there is no question of
the growth of the Northern Pacific terri
tory or of the rapid increase in the earn
ings of the road. We have seen private
letter from most trustworthy observer
now travelling in the northwest, in which
he says: The increase here is phenome-
nal. l have never seen anything like 1t in
the whole history of the western roads,
Pacific and others, and l do not hesitate to
say that the Northern Pacific will earn at
least s, 000, 900 month for the entire year
Of 1890. You can not get any idea of what
is going on here unless you come and look
for yourself"
Captain w F. Tibbitts, travelling pas
senger agent Of the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, with headquarters in Denver, has
been enjoying his annual vacation of ten
days, which he put in at Beck's Hot
Springs, north of this city. He is very
enthusiastic over the medicinal properties
of the waters, and while he does not say
that he discovered the Fountain of
YOUTH or the elixir of Life" he does
insist that he feels considerably younger
as a result of his experience there. The
captain has been connected with the rail-
way passenger service since 1888, and mas
in his possession passes dated away back
in 1854, and these he values very highly
indeed Among the curiosities he exhibits
is the buckszin pass issued by Otto MeaTs
in 1888 and the silver pass over the Silver
ton road for the year 1889. The captain is
a general favorite with the railway and
newspaper bows, and he will have some
stories for the latter when he reaches
Denver.

said that some of those who were first op-
posed to the road have undergone de-

or ten days, and it is thought there is good
ground for believing that the right of way
will be granted
