Hypnotic Maryei..

Paris continues to marvel at hypnotic mysteries. In the course of his experi- ments at the Charity hospital, Dr. Luys the other day effected so complete an
 "exteriorization" of the human body as to transfer woman's sensibility into a tumbler of water. The tumbler was then taken out of the subjects sight, when she started as if in pain if the water was touched, and swooned if it was drank. The water is said to have retained its sensibility for considera- ble time. A wonderful discovery made by Col. Roche was also confirmed. the sensibility of hypnotized subject be- ing transferred to photographic nega- tive of the same person, a pin-scratch across the hand of the plate causing the subject to shriek with pain and to be- come marked in few moments with similar scratch on the hand.

lowed to shrink tightly as it cools, just as q wagon tire is shrunk on wheel. The breech IS closed by block--shown open in Fig. (which is provided with a series of ridges, fitting into grooves in the breech. When the gun is to be closed the heavy handle is turned, re- volving the block into an upright po- sition, and then lifting it in nearly vertical direction until the ridges and grooves are so thoroughly intcrlocbed that there is no probability that the ex- plosion of the powder can loosen the parts. The operation is very quickly performed, and the whole mechanism is a marvel of simplicity as compared with the older Maxim and Hotchlxiss movements.
 At present France is apparently the only country besides the United States which is actively engaged in examining the rapid-fre type of ordnance, and there NJ. Canet is conducting experi- ments With remarkably long guns, hav- ing length equal to eighty times the caliber-that is to say, a gun firing projectile 3.94 inches in diameter and weighing 2s.6 pounds, which was tested a few weeks ago, was 315.2 inches, or 26 feet 3.2 inches long. With this gun and the new smokeless powders adopted in the French navy, muzzle velocities of S,290 to 3,S70 feet per second were ob- tained. The practical result is that with such weapon and powder it is possible to fire almost point-blank at a target with range equal to that rec ognized as the ordinary firing distance for modern artillery of this class. he great length of such gun prac- tically prohibits it's use on ships, and M. Canet is therefore avowedly work ing to produce long-distance rapid fire gun for land service
