DIR. S. C. MCCARRY, the new superin-
tendent of the Kansas state insane
asylum, has instituted a series OF
hypnotic experiments on the patients
Assisted by DIR. Flint, who is skilled in
hypnotism, he made experiments on
twenty patients, taken at random, OF
whom only two showed any symptoms
of susceptibility, and these were only
slight. Dr. Flint claims that insane
people cannot be hypnotized, and that
the hypnotic power can in no way
affect incurables. Only those whose
minds are slightly affected can be
brought under its influence.

HOSPITAL surgeons in New York say
that ninety-nine per cent. of the oper-
atoms for cataract are. now successful
The other one per cent would not be
unsuccessful but for the fact that
some patients come handicapped with
impurities of the blood that increase
the difficulties following the operation
The removal of cataract has ceased to
be esteemed very serious matter for
either patient or surgeon, and there
are many persons going about their
daily work with the crystalline lens
of one or both eyes replaced By
spectacle lenses

IT is easy to buy a gun Of any de-
scription, and the most reputable citi-
zens would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked looking
knife ever made; bat who would know
where to get a slungshOt, or a Jimmie,
OF a device for drilling into a safe, or
any Of the many tools used by the pro-
fcasional burglar in the pursuit of his
calling? There probably are places in
many large cities where these things
are made and sold to the users, but
such places are scarce. Once in awhile
the police find such factory, and then
things go hard for the prOprictors 1t
may seem a little strange to learn that
most Of the tools used in burglaries
are made by mechanics who are looked
upon as respectable men in the com
muDity. When a burglar wants any
particular tool made he goes to a me-
chanic who can do the job, and pays
him perhaps five times what it is actu-
ally worth for making the tool and
keeping still about It.

A GIRL nine years Of age, residing in

in peculiar manner. She had been
i'll for some time, the exact cause of
her malady being unknown. She be-
gan coughing, and finally coughed up
an animal about five inches in length,
resembling lizard in some respects,
and with thick membrane running
around it's middle. The membrane
caught in the chi!d's throat. and it re-
quired great effort to pull out the ami
NAL. The child died from exhaustion.
The animal had clearly formed head,
eyes, tongue and body and is believed
by the physicians in charge to have
been alive until killed in removing it
from the child's throat.

points sustained were that the debtor

to receive the actual grain, and that if
in contract for future delivery the
only purpose is to speculate on the diff
ference between buying and selling
