Dr. RoLLIN B. GRAY of Saratoga gives.
Without fee, this prescription for escaping the
hypnotizer: First remove and remain out of
the physical presence of the person who ex-
erts the power to control. Then submit to the
hypnotic influence of another hypnotizer. who
should gain as complete sugg estive control as
possible, and tn an dismiss the subiect-by his
power restoring TO the hypnotzed his own per-
sonality and will function. Thus the victim is
slipped from under the control of one snDerior
Will (which it is assumed is understood) TO that
OF another, who in turn restores to him his own
personal sovereignty and holsters nim I'D in it,
But the subject must ever thereafter avoid the
presence OF the first hypnotizer." One might
also hypnotize a too familiar hypnotizer with a
small club or something.

VERY FEW have a lust conception of orr
earthquake liabilities, says the arena. The
crust of the earth, floating upon a fiery sea of
molten matter. might be compared to a micro
scopic pellice on the surface of an egg without
shell. \ comparatively trivial disturbance In
this would wreck continent, as Atlantis was
wrecked. wave agitation, the hundredth
part OF per cent of its depth, would shatter
the entire surface of the globe, even if it did

quakes Illustrate this. They resemble the agita-
ton of floating crust producing a shock and
wave which are transmitted with sudden
rapidity hundreds of miles. All EARTHQUAKES

impossible II the earth were solid body The
continent lies floating bed of fire. and exists
only because there are no storms to disturb the
fire. The continent is not like ship floating on

drop to pieces like a floa ing island in storm
The CONFUSION may be produced by astronomic
irregularities, or by the explosion arising from
the access of water to the subterraneau fire as
