rhines That Aaect the hypnotic Ste.

Things That Affect the Hypnotic State.
The differences in the climates appear
to have great influence on hypnotic sus-
ceptibility. Southerners and altogether
those who have been exposed to the
tropical heat are much more easily in
fiuenced than those who live in the tenn
perate or frigid zones. Hypnosis not
only appears sooner in the tropical eli
mates, but it is usually deeper, and the
more complicated conditions of the
states invariably appear Immediately.
The hypnotic susceptibility does not de-
pend on these circumstances alone.
There are many other conditions which
we must find partly outside Of the indi-
vidual and partly within. 1t is neces-
sary to especially notice the different
tempers Of mind, such as delight, sor-
row. etc.
What also works against coming into
the hypnotic state is overexertion, either
mentally or bodily, an empty or over
loaded stomach, excessive use of certain
nourishing substances, liquors, ssrong
spices, coffee or tea. All these condi-
tiOns more or less prevent or disturb the
coming hypnosis. Furthermore. out
ward influences, such as temperature.
dress, place of residence and surround
ings, should all be considered. The
room in which experiments are to be
performed must neither be too warm nor
too cold.-Chicago Herald.

Action on the Death of james I. Furber


At meeting of the directors of the
Portland 6 Rochester railroad held Feb.
6, 1892, the president called their atten-
ton to the decease, since the last meet
ing, of James T. Furber, one of the
directors of the corporation, and the fol
lowing expression of the feelings of the
directors was unanimously adopted
February Sth:
The lamented decease of James T. Fur
Der, late one of the directors of this cor
poration, calls upon his surviving asso-
ciates to ayow their personal loss at be-
ing deprived of his counsel, and of the
help of his large experience in all ques-
tions concerning the interests of the
company, and to declare their grief at
the bereavement of cordial, faithful
and generous friend and companion in
their work. They wish to declare their
high appreciation of the sound judg-
ment, clear comprehension, and broad
views of Mr.. Furber in all matters of
railroad policy and management, as well
as their recognition of the value of his
advice and of his work to the entire rail
road system of New England. They
feel that his death, in the maturity of
his powers, is a great public loss.
His great experience and his enlighten-
ed study of the connection and unity of
interests between the public and the
great agents of personal and commercial
intercourse among states and people,
could not have failed to contribute valu-
able aid in the solution of numerous de-
licate and difficult problems in railroad
matters constantly arising. AS an ex-
ecutive officer, he was Of the highest
rank, tireless, vigilant, intelligent,
methodical, quick to comprehend,
prompt in decision, resoiute in action If
in the stress of innumerable and urgent
affairs, he sometimes seemed peremptory
abrupt and harsh, fuller acquaintance
with him, and larger knowledge of the
constant and perplexing strain upon
him, were sure to correct all unfavorable
judgments, and to bring to light the
genuine kindness, the liberality, and the
business and candor of his nature. In
token of their sorrow at his decease, and
of their sense of his worth, they order
this expression of their feelings in re-
spect to him to be entered on their
records, and that a copy be sent to the
family.
