The teacher who introduced into the girls
school at Auburndale, in Massachusetts, the
system OF education which she calls nerve
training" undertook to make use OF an
agency which Is possibly destined, though
by no means certainly, to become OF service
to mankind. The trouble is that she substi-
tutes her mere theoretical notions OF what
hypnotism is capable Of doing for the actual
proofs of experience for which men Of sci
ence are waiting
There is no more interesting field for in
vcstigation. The fact that the hypnotic
trance can be produced in large number Of
persons by simple means Is beyond ques-
tion; but To what salutary uses the power
Of the operator can be put has not yet been
determined. 1t seems to be similar in kind to
the influence exerted by strong and impas-
stoned revivalist preachers. The subjects
give themselves up to be played upon by
the more masterfu mind of the orator
Their free agency is gone, and the will Of
the operator, not their own wills, control
them.
1t is possible that hypnotism may become
n valuable agency In the hands Of physl-
clans. 1t may be used in cases Of insanity
by the hypnotic trance, and surgical opera
tions may be performed painlessly during
its continuance. 1t Is not impossible that
the moral malady Of vice may be
alleviated by hypnotic suggestions OF
sclf-rcstraint which will continue effective
after the patient wakes; and such a use
of hypnotism is suggested by n scientific
writer in the Nineteenth Century. He gives
instances to show the persistent efficacy OF
suggestions of abstinence from pernicious
indulgences. The Pedagogical Section Of
the French Association for the Advance
mcnt of Science has gone so far as to pass
resolution recommending that expert
ments in such hypnotic suggestions
should be made on some of the most
notoriously bad and incorrigible pu-
pills of primary schools, with a view
to determining their moral value and their
use in education. The Nineteenth Century
writer also queries whether we may not con-
ccivably learn to carry on our intellectual
life in state OF insusceptibility to pain. He
asks us to consider whether IN sufferers
from neuralgia and other forms Of malady,
who are readily hypnotizable, there may
not be induced "a third condition OF life,
which shall be as waking but without its
uncasness. and as sleep without the blank
ness Of its reposc state in which tho
mind may so screnely onward and the
body have no power to distract her energy
or to dispute her sway" To show that this
may DO possible, he refers to case where q
patient even when awakened from the hyp-
motto trance remained insensible to pain.
His suggestion Is no less than that hypnO-
tism may bring to man the relief from thu
oppression OF the flesh which he has vainly
sought In stimulants. IAN integral part of
us may drop away, and yet leave us
with a consciousness OF our own being which
Is more vivid and purcr than before. This
web OF habits and appetcnces, OF lusts and
fears, Is not, perhaps the ultimate manifes-
tation OF what in truth we are"
But whimsical teacher OF girls school
Is not fitted to enter upon this exploration.
She ought to be suppressed.

teen millions. Let QUAY and WANAMAKER
show their genius. They know how.
Why should other cities help ChicagoP
Why should New York holp? For patriotic

New York not for reasons OF patriotism, but
for reasons OF party solely Now York had
the brains, it Ind the enthusiasm, 1t had the

While Commander DAvoUsr and his COM
rades wero stcaning down tho upper Niger
toward Timbuctoo while ago they made q
strange discovery ut one OF the river towns
They found n piece OF European pottery that
was evidently quito old. 1t was fixed upon the
summit OF q mosque and tho Mohammedun
natives told tho travellers that it had been
given to them near the beginning Of this CEN
tury by white man who was going down the
river. From all the information the travellers
collected they could reach 10 other conclusion
than that tho donor OF this little vase was
MUNGo PAEk, the pioneer Of African explora-
tion in the past hundred years. 1t will be re-
membered that he mentioned this town of
Sama Markhaa. where the vase has been
found. aud lie passed through the place in 1905

The Ice Gauntlet and How to Run 1t

Awcek agowep printed certain opinions con-
corning tho Ice which now obstructs the path
OF the transatlantic steamers. We held that
the ultra-southerly course might as we'll be
abandoned, for the reason that there were
iceberRs to tho southward Of any low lati-
tude that could reasonably be followed by
an east or west bound liner, and that they
were more scattered and likclyto be cncoun-
tered in wider area. On the other hand 1t
seemed to us, for proper nd adequate hydro
graphic considerations, that the northerly
passage was the safer because the actual ice
region could be defined within comparatively
narrow limits. and could thereby bo tho
reader met and crossed.
These observations met with the dlsap-
proval of the photographic Olice and In its
mid-week official utterance we were politely
rebuked, and tho exceeding danger of fol-
lowing such course as we had pointed out
was duly impressed upon all soaGoing COM

Ono of the most interesting discoveries re-
ported by STANLEY during his recent eXpedi-
tion was the extension Of tho Victoria Nyanza
to tho southwest The fact that In all his let
ters and reports he has hardly more than hint
ell AT tho existence Of this extension has been
disappointing TO gcoGraphers and whcttod
thoir curiosity. 1t now appears that on his
homcward journey ho touched the shore OF tho
lako wEere it extends further southwest than
has beon represented on tho maps ut only one
point. This is apparent from the map of his
Journey, which has Just been printed in the
Proceedings" Of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, though for about forty miles his route
lay so near the lake that the coast line is indi-
Gated. with what degree OF accuracy we are rs
yet unable to say This map represents the
extension as n broad arm about forty miles
wide, extending nearly fifty miles southwest OF
the rounding outline hitherto given to this por-
tion OF the lake. 1t was IL strange discovery to
make about this enormous inland sea, whose
entire outline, it was supposed. had been de-
termined with approximate accuracy.

REGARDING DIVES.
City Attorney Hart Says the Present Or

City Attorney Hart Says the Present Or
dinance is Not Effective.
G. G. Davis, attorney for Peter Iossi,
who is to be tried on Friday for refusing to
close his saloon-the Trustees having re-
voked the license-addressed Judge Buck
ley yesterday in the Police Court in regard
to the case.
He said that Rossi had again been ar
rested Tuesday night because he opened his
saloon, and the police were aware of the
fact that his case was pending trial. He
considered ii persecution, and thought it
only proper that the authorities wait until
the case is decided. He noticed, too, that
the case was not on the calendar, and he
didn't understand il. Neither was there a
complaint on file, and he asked Tor a dis.
missal.
City Attorney Hart said dismissal
wasn't necessary, as no charge had vet
been preferred on the second arrest. He
read the ordinance with which Rossi was
charged with violating, and stated that, in
his Judgment, there were grave doubts as
to whether or not the defendant could be
convicted. 1t was loosely drafted and did
not state how Chief OF Police should pro-
coed to close a place where the law was
being violated-whetber he should nail up
the door, coniscate the property or arrest
the defendant. Furthermore, there was no
penalty attached for the violation of the
ordinance.
Mr.. Hart suggested that the Chief of
Police make no more arrests until the case
was tried on Friday. He believed that the
Trustees would pass an ordinance on Mon
day which he had drawn up, and thought
1t would be strong enough to stand the test
of the law

ANOTHER MoDoc COUNTY CASE.
The Supreme Courts Opinion in Matter
Involving Water RipIts

The Supreme Courts Opinion in Matter
Involving Water Rights.
A Supreme Court opinion in the case OF
Van Bibber respondent vs. Hilton ct al ;,
was filed yesterday in the office of the Clerk
of the Sacramento District.
This is an action to restrain the defend.
ants from diverting the waters of stream
in Modoc county. The stream flows
through the lands of both the plaintiff and
the defendants, and they are all riparian
proprietors, the defendants land living ON
the stream above that of the plaintiff. The
Court found that the defendants had by
means of dams constructed in the stream
diverted all the water SO that none of il
reached by its natural flow the lower ripa-
rian proprietors. Finding that one of the
parties were riparian proprietors and that
the defendants were also appropriations to
the amour. of twenty-five inches of the
water running in the stream, the Court be-
low epjoined the defendants from diyertine
any OF the water except that to which thew
were entitled as such appropriations.
From the judgment rendered the defend
ants appeal.
The supreme Court reverses the iudg-
ment and remands the cause for a new
trial. with directions to the Court below to
override the demurrers to the cross-com-
plants, with leave to the plaintiff to an
swer if so advised.
In concurring in the opinion Judge
Works says:
Il concur in the judgment on the last
ground stated in the foregoing opinion.
The whole controversy between these par.
ties could have been fully determined un-
der the issues raised by the complaint and
answer, and the cross complaints were en-
urely unnecessary. The prevailing custom
of incumbering the records and compli-
eating the issues by unnecessary pleadings
should be discouraged, and the Judgment.
II right, should not be reversed for the
reason that the demurrers were sustained
to these useless pleadines.n

SACRAMENTO, June Is, 1890.
TO HIS E1cellency Governor r. W. Waterman
SGcrdmento-DEAR SIR: On my return from at.
tending to some legal business in San Fran
cisco l found your communication in refer
ence to premeditated fights, contrary to Section
4l2 of the Penal Code. which prevail in some of
the clubs at San Francisco. / agree with you
entirely as to the disgraceful character of these
exhioitlons, and as to their being in violation of
law. 1t is strange that people indulge in such
pastlme, when the penalty may be incurred of
imprisonment in the State Prison for two wears
for simply encouraging or promoting these con-
lost his life in one of them. II does not matter
that deadly weapons are not used nor that
there may be municipal license granted for
the exhibitions; the State has made it a felony
and the license is no protection, and in the
event OF the death of one of the participants
from the effect of the contest IL may be muir
der. against which no statute of limitations
runs, whether person actually commits it or
only aids and abets in its commission
think that the law officers of the city of San
francisco are showing commendable spirit in
taking steps TO see that Section 40 of the Penal
Code is not violated with impunity, and as.
sure you that will write to those under me on
this subject, with the assurance that any action
on their part to suppress the grievance you re-
fer to will receive the sanction and cooperation
of this office TO the end that the laws may be
maintained and enforced in the spirit in which
they were enacted.
beg to subscribe myself as ever very truly
yours, G.. A. JOHNSON, Attorney General
The Governor proposes to have copies of
his letter and the Attorney G Generals
printed, and sent to each Sheriff and Dis
trict Attorney throughout the State.
