The News at the Navy Yard.

New YORK, April 49, 1S94.-At the
"Club" in the Brooklyn Navy Yard today,
the sole topic was the sinking of the
big Brazilian battle ship Aquidaban by the
little torpedo boat Gustavo Sampaio, form
erly the Aurora. 1t will prove big boom
for torpedo boats, was the universal opinion
Everybody was at loss to explain how the
small vessel could have sunk her big rival SO
handily.
There were any number of suggestions,
but the general belief is that the Aquidaban
was deserted by her best officers and men be-
cause of Mello's fight, and that the Gustavo
Sampaio had comparatively easy time
striking the battleship in a vital spot with
her three whitehead torpedoes.
The Aquidaban, when she was here dur
ing the Columbian celebration last April,
was much admired by naval men. They
visited her by the thousands while she was
at Norfolk and in the North River The
Republica was with her, too, as was also
the steel gunboat Tiredentes. All were inn
pressed with the apparently fine fighting
qualities of the Aquidaban, and her unex-
pected loss is one of the greatest naval sur
priSeS in years.

Facts About HrpnotIsm.


NEW YORK, Jan. 15-According to all the
modern authorities. hypnotism is the sci
ence Of the sleeplike state which is pro
duced by some special influence upon the
nervous system. This state may be in

vast number Of animals, high aud low.

Besides these similareyperimen have been
successfully performed upon monkeys,
