The keenest interest continues 20 be
manifested throughout Europe In the
strange fate Of Eta von Salomon. who
died in hypnotic or clairvoyant trance
near Vienna three weeks ago Franz
Neukomm, who conducted the expert
ments which ended 80 trngically, Is
well known engineer Of Werschetz,
Hungary. Els special calling is boring
artesian wells, and he has won the
gratitude Of the population Of many
districts in which, before his time,
there was not drop of pure water TO be
mad. He has never failed to fiud water.
Herr Won Solomon, tho father Of the
dead girl, is one Of the great landed
proprietors of Hungary. A few months
ago Herr Won Salomon wrote an account
of some of NeukomIn's experiments
with his daughter and others He said
in. that article:
Having plunged them into hyp-
motto sleep, be caused them to forget
their mother tongue. At his command
they were unable to count more than
three or raiss up teaspoon from the
table He put them back into the fifth
year of their lives, from the fifth to the
eighth year, the twelfth year, and so
on He spelled, wrote and read with
them as with children, and they con-
Quoted themselves after the manner of
children of the ages suggested. Neu-
komm pressed a cold hairpin on my
daughters left hand and produced a
large burn. II is remarkable that these
hypnotic experiments were productive
IF the best effects ON the health of tht
ladies.
''The most exciting episode of all
was the following: My daughter, while
in a hypnotic trance, suddenly uttered

himself in the garden, returned and

! cited ON hearing this narrative. We
we're not then in the castle, but at Man
lok, and without delay we set out along
with Neukomm for the castle at Tuszir.

''On a subsequent occasion we wert
lesirous Of learning the name Of tn,

nothing must be done to render the MAJ
miserable. We promised not to lodgt

our assurances she made reply that iht
