Why the Trains Wait. I

It has pro badly puzzled many q
traveller, who, fitting impatiently in
a train, has waited for the draw Of q
bridge to oclose which had been opened
to allow some snaillike boat to Green
up the current, why the rapidly NOV.
ing train was not given the preced-
ence, as it could swiftly hurry away.
It is not due to the excuse that the
boat cannot hold itself against the
stream, for it can and does this fre--
quently 1t is simply the applicat tion
ct the old common law principle of
easement. The boats had the use 81
snavigable streams long before rail
roads were invented, and when the
latter bridged rivers they did go sub
ject to the formers interest therein.
and tor this reason railroad trains
are to-day obliged to stand back
while the boats pass ahead. All
modern conditions would indicate
that the loco comotive should have pre.
cedence Of the steamer, and the fact
that It does not shows the tenacious
grip Of custom. st. Paul Pioneer

THE rapidity with which flies pass
through the air is not likely to be ap-
preciated by those who see only with
apparent ease they do it. Flies will
keep up with fast horse, and that,
too, without lighting on him. In an
open express car, through which the
wind blows, they hold their places,
flying this way and that without hit
ting against the sides. They must,
therefore, go faster than horse or car.

Unconscious Hypnotism.
London (Ont. Corr. Toronto Mail.

London (ont.) Corr. Toronto Mail.
A strange case of hypnotism is re,
ported in this city. The medium is a
woman 40 years of age who has lost
her reason, and it is therefore believ.
ed that she is acting unconsciously
upon her victim, a young lady ol
about 20 summers. The two are
neighbors, living on opposite sides o
the same street, and it appears that
some two months ago; when the
medium was taken i'll, the young
woman waited upon her, until atlast
she could not stay away, and was
constantly running across the road
to the house. She became so bad in
this particular that one night,
unknown to the people OF the
house, she stayed all night, and when
an attempt was made to arouse her
in the morning it was found impossi.
BILE. Her body was pinched, and
even a needle had no effect Walk.
ing her on the floor was also tried
without success. She was in state
of lethargy from which all the efforts
Of the neighbors could not awaken
her, and a doctor was summoned.
His skill was at last successful, after
she had slept about twenty-four
hours. It is said that if the medium
was not a crazy person she could
either have aroused the young lady
from the stupor or else have followed
up the work with suggestions to her
victims mind; but she was uncon-
scious of anything wrong, apparent
ly. The neighbors, however, have no
doubt as to her being the individual
who is causing all the trouble. The
girl says she knows nothing OF what
goes on while under this wonderful
influence. She experienced no pain OF
any description when being pinched.
She had been several times put to
sleep, but not for such long periods
as the one mentioned. The subject
of this power is in fair health other
wise, and also very intelligent. At
present she is under the care offriends
constantly, and is kept perfectly
quiet. 1t is expected she will be able
to throw off the influence this time,
but as severe shock to her nervous
system is almost sure to cause a re-
lapse she will always in future be
more susceptible to mesmeric influ-
ences. g.~.
