nypnotlsm and scIe1cc.

Dr.. j. NJ. Charcot, If France. is at the
head of the scientific Investigators Of
animal magnetism. mesmerism. or hyp-
notism. as il is To- called. Dr. Charcot
prefers the name hypnotism because it
does not commit 10 any theory.
Charcot defines hypnotism to be sleep
artiicially produced by mechanical
means. sHe writes in The Forum Of his
experiments OF human beings with a
cold bloodedn,ss that only the scientific
man is able to attain. His experiments
are always conducted with hysterical
subjects, for one reason. because the
practice Of hypnotization is by no means
free from danger, though what especial
grudge he has at hysterical subjects, and
on that account selects them for his
operations, he does not explain.
In producing the hypnotic state, the
usual method is for the patient to sit
quietly while the professor holds some
small, shining object like a silver coin
in front of and slightly above his eyes
and four to six inches away from them.
The patient gazes steadily on the object.
The eyes are thus subjected TO a strain.
In a few minutes they begin to wink,
then more and more rapidly, then the
lids droop and finally fall. as in sleep.
The patient becomes quite unconscious,
as in a sound sleep. Charcot calls this
the state of lethargy. Pull open his eye
lids with the fingers. they will remain
open and staring. The subject is now in
what Charcot calls the second state. that
Of catalepsy. In this state. if his fists be
clinched. they will remain in that con-
dition. and his face will assume an ex.
preston OF the most violent anger. If
his arm be raised in the air. it will re-
main thus rigid till brought down by the
operator. His muscles remain fixed
where they are placed.
The patient is now ready for the third
stage, that of somnambulism. By rub
bling the cataleptic person briskly upon
the top of his head, Charcot says he
makes him pass into somnambulism. In
somnambulism the patient has the ap.
pearance Of being awake. He hears and
sees what is going on about him, and
can open and shut his eyes at will, which
in the other states he could not do. But
it is an abnormal consciousness. lie
hears and sees just what the operator
tells him 10, nothing more. he is APP
parently merely a vehicle for the mind
and will of the operator. If the hypno-
tier gave him water and told him it
was wine aud he was intoxicated. he
would Immediately act like a drunken
person. Ills five senses seem also 70 be
quickened in some abnormal way. This
much science has learned Of the mys.
terry Of hypnotism.

New Years day, 1890, saw the compile
ton Of an important work on Staten
Island. The first train was run over the
the railway drawbridge that crosses
Arthur Kill from New Jersey to Staten
Island. This completes what is for
freight practically a new through route
from the west. Grain and cattle cars
will come to the bridge, cross the Kill
and he run upon a great pier at st.
George, on the north end of Staten Is
land. There they will be unloaded by
direct transfer of their freight to steam
ships that await them at the pier. Soon
the north end of Staten Island will be
transformed from a charming place of
residence to vast freight depot. The
Arthur Kill bridge is 500 feet long. The
draw span is 500 feet in length, making
it one of the longest draws in the world.

Happy is the lot Of an American pro-
fessor in Japan. Professor Meriwether,
of Johns Hopkins university, accepted
the chair of English literature in the
university Of Toxic, and left some time
since for his new post. On his arrival
a special palace was given him to live in,
with fifty servants. Connected with the
palace was a stable containing some Of
the best horses in Japan, and these were
placed at the disposal of the professor,
who in consequence is living in clover.

RUM FOR AFRICA.

The Treasury reports show that u
very large proportion of the rum ex-
ported from the United States is ex-
ported from Boston. For many decades
Boston has had this reputation. She
has adopted new fads Of culture, of
liberalism and of theosophy, but she
has stuck to her trade in rum.
Boston used to be the meeting place
of the American Board of Foreign
Missions. In days far back the pro-
fame were wont to allege that the B)s-
ton ship which carried the missionary
TO Africa carried also cargo of Med
ford rum, and the covert suggestion was
that the missionary would have to be
OF extra fibre and quality, and skilled
in the methods both of moral attack
and defense before he could be relied
on TO counterbalance the demoralizing
influences of the fiery and subtle fluid
which accompanied him.
The matter has recently attracted
attention in new form. 1t has been
ascertained from the Treasury record
that most of the ram exported from
Boston still goes to Africa, and il is
supposed that it is used with depraving
and degrading effect in carrying on the
slave trade there A Washington
clergyman was unwilling to believe
that Boston sold rum in aid of the slave
trade, and, to satisfy himself, applied
for information to the Bureau of Sta.
tistics. The result is thus told by the
ST. Louis GioJe- Dem0crdL
Major Brock is a Temperance man him
self. He told DR.. Hamlin that our ship
ments of liquor to Africa amounted to only
small part of what was required there for
medical purposes, and that there was no re-
prOach of the kind conveyed in the para
graph that could be attached to this couu-
try.
1t is thus discovered that the immense
shipments of rum to Africa are really
for medicinal purposes. 1t further ap-
pears that Africa is suffering for the
want of medicine, Boston being able to
supply only small part of what the
benighted continent needs.
But clearly this lack should not con
tinue to exist. The crisis must be met,
and met adequately, Boston must risc
TO the eXigency Of the occasion. In
the past she has never failed Ia
acknowledge tine various missions tC
which she felt herself called. 1t is now
incumbent upon her to recognize hel
duty and accept its responsibility
Africa must not be allowed to languish
for lack of medicine. Decidedly Bos
ton must enlarge her facilities for me
dicinaI production and for its uanspor
tation 10 the needy regions of the Darl

THE BEHRlNG SEA QUESTION.

1t is now well understood that the
settlement of the Behring Sea question
will be upon the basis of an interna-
tional regulation of the seal fisheries of
that sea, The United States will not ut
This time assert its claim to exclusive
jurisdiction
The ground taken in 1922 by Mr.
Adams, the then Secretary of State, in
his correspondence with the Russian
Minister makes it difficult for our Gov
ernment TO maintain this exclusive
claim. The Russians held that the
BehriDg sea was a mare citUSlDl, but
the Government of the United States at
all times strenuously contested that
view, and now finds itself precludcd
from maintenance of pretended rights
TO which all its traditions are opposed
1t is for this reason that present negotia-
tions are intended to arrive at an inter
national understanding and manage
ment which shall guarantee the secur-
ity of seals in the waters referred to.
After ALL this is the only matter that
is of any possible interest. Alaska is,
as yet, valuable chiefly for its seal
islands and fisheries The protection
which, over so great a sea, the United
States could only exercise feebly, may
he made energetic and successful
through an agreement between the
maritime nations-especially the United
States and Great Britain 1t is a neces-
sity Of very valuable enterprise aud
product that the seal industry should
receive full protection. For some years
past the security attempted to be Gu
forced by our revenue cutters has failed
TO afford such protection. \ system ol
policing the sea by whatever may b
requisite of the fleets of both nations
would at all points guard the interests
of the lease-holding company to which
the United States has, for term of
years, transferred its sealing rights.
At all events the seals must be pre-
served. This is not alone the interes
of The United States, but of the worlC
as well. Deep sea destruction of seal
must be prevented, and the easiest way
in which that can be effected is through
an international arrangement.
