He stayed Hypnst,.ed.

That hypnotisin is dangerous SCI
ence, even in skilled hands, was once
more demonstrated at LIE Bourget, near
Paris. A professor of legerdemain, who
was giving an entertainment in cafe,
and enjoyed some considerable reputa-
ton as hypnotist, proposed concluding
the evenings amusement by an exhibi-
ton of his skill. A young man named
Raylant volunteered to act as the sub
ject, and after some difficulty was rem
dered completely unconscious. The pro-
fessor then performed the usual tricks
with him, but when it came to awaken
ing found, to his astonishment, that it
was quite impossible to effect it.
Raylant was sent home and medical
help was summoned, but the doctor
could only recall him to conciousness for
a few seconds, after which the young
man relapsed into an agitated sleep, in
terrupted at intervals by violent nerv-
GUS crises. Up to to-day Raylant has
only had few waking moments, during
which he complains of excessive weak
ness and pains in the head. An inquiry
has been opened by the police authorj-
'ties.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
