till the Census Bureau makes the totals
known, at some indefinite future date, be-
fore we can even know whether the census
of any particular city or State does it justice
or injustice.
These faults can hardly be corrected on
this census; but if our public men can re-
member the lessons of one census long
enough to apply it to another, their instruc-
tion may be of use in the future In the
meantime, Pittsburg should be prepared to
insist on whatever may be necessary to in

tion in the corrected census reports.

AFTER FORTY.

Linger longer o'er our dinner,
Shirk the matutinal tubl

Sad to tell, an easy prey;
Leaving Iightsomeness behind us,

THE result of the investigation into rail-
road tariffs in England is stated by the London
Industries to be: mo common basis of railway
rates and charges at present exists after nearly
seventy years experience of railway transport
that has any claim to be regarded as exact and
scientific" Thesam fact has been abundantly
demonstrated on this side of the ocean. But
its elucidation in England is rather crushing to
the theories of those gentlemen who have in
dustriously argued that the English policy of
federation among the railways furnishes the
model for American regulation.

THERE is good deal of pathos in the re

port that the old naval vessel, the Iroquois
which underwent last year the experience of
being driven for 1000 miles at the sport of the

breakdown of the machinery. underwent
another break last week only six hours after
leaving San Francisco. As this old vessel had
a part of that baptism of fire and glory to
which Farragut led his fleets in the gulf 2S
years ago, she has earned the right to an hon.
orable retirement, and should not be exposed in
her old age to the mishaps of decrepitude.

REV. LYMAN ABBOTT answers the criti-
cism that no negroes were invited to take part
in the Lake Mohonk Conference on the negro
question by saying that "the patient is not
invited to the conference of his doctors on his
case" True enough; but it has generally been
regarded as imperative that the patient shall
be near enough to be examined. and that the
doctors shall personally investigate his condi-
ton. If the doctors should hold "a conference
some thousands of miles distant from the
patient, they might be subjected to intimations
that their principal desire was to have nice
social time.

A Serious Set of Questions.

THE remarkable studies in som nambulism and
in the unlimited power of suggestion which
have been carried out at Nancy open up an
other and more serious set of questions
touching the relations between hypnotism and
crime. These questions may be considered
under three heads:
The observed phenomena of somnambulism
(Which is an hypnotic condition) show that
somnambulists may unconsciously but spontan-
eously commit unlawful acts of which they have
no knowledge and recollection when awake.
In 1888 a French servant girl was arrested for
theft. It turned out that she had frequently
been hypnotized by doctor. He was allowed
to hypnotic her in prison. While in this state
she recollected having removed the valuables
to a safer place. which she described to the
judge, who found them in the spot she
designated. She was released. 1t is easy to see
of this nature. Several similar instances have
occurred in the French law courts.

Some Remarkable Gases.

CRIMEs may be committed on persons in
condition of hyDnotism. The 'Afaire
Castelar," 1866. is an actual case. Josephine
Hughes, a respectable young woman living
with her father. was hypnotized by CASTELAR,,
vagabond mesmerizer to whom they gave
shelter. He compelled her to leave her home,
follow him and live with him. She was res
cued, all the facts fully established. and Cas-
tellan sentenced to II years. hard labor. In
court he offered to give proof of his powers.
All she remem bered was being compelled to
submit to him by an irresistible power.
DIR. Esdaile, Scotch surgeon in India, and
an expert mesnerizer (he established under the
Government in 1S45 a hospital at Hooghly in
which he performed several hundred opera
tions under hypnotic an4sthesa), had reason
TO suspect a native barber of kidnapping boy
under hypnotic influence. His suspicious were
aroused by the boys appearance. He tried ex-
periments, which were repeated in court, and
found he could make natives follow him invol-
UNFAIRLY. The man was condemned to nine
years labor in irons. A similar case is related
in Malacca journal of 1920. These cases are
particularly interesting, as children are ex-
tremely sensitive to hypnotism. At Nancy
there has not been a single failure with chill
dren under IA years Of age.

An Agent of Crime.


voluntary agents of crime. With regard to
this point, which is the most interesting of all,
it is only right to say that the brilliant and sci
entific body of Paris physicians who practice
hypnotism 10 not greatly believe in the danger.
They maintain that hyDnotism is a morbid con-
dition allied to hysteria, which can only affect
in its higher manifestations small numb Der Of
people; and they deny the all-important part
ascribed by the Nancy doctors to the power of
suggestion. In this they labor under the disad-
vantage of having to maintain negative posi-
ton. which may easily be overthrown by a
more extended experience, and are probably
we may say undoubtedly-wrong. The suscep-
tibilty to suggestion may not De SO universal as
it Is thought to be at Nancy; but its danger.
when 1t does exist can hardly be exaggerated.
AS Prof Beaunis says, alt is of no use to try and
minimize the gravity of this fact, and it is far
better to recognize it as it really is that is to
say, the absolute power IN certain cases OF the
hypnotizer over his subject" The history OF
mesmerism is full of instances of persons in the
higher mesmeric. hypnotic, or somnamDullstlc
states-the word does not signtfy-performlng
acts in obedience to the will of another, with
complete abolition of CONSCIOUSNESS, OF volitlon,
and of subsequent recollection. There Is MOTH
ing new in this. As early as 17S4 DE Puysegur,
Mesmer's pupil, pointed out the danger OF the
magnetic condition, as it was then called, being
turned to criminal purposes in unscrup ulous
hands; and Teste, writing about 1S4O, declared
that a subject belongs body and soul TO the
magnetizer if he is base and dastardly enough
to use the power" The Nancy doctors have
discovered nothing new; but they nave de-
veloped the phenomena with greater tulness
and exactness than their predecessors, and
have lent the cachet of scientific observation to
suspicion or openly secuted as ridiculous or i'm
possible.
