Uncanny Result of an Experiment In Hyp-
notism Made by Paris Doctor.
A series Of very wonderful expert
ments which have just been concluded
by DR.. Luys Of Paris. whose observa-
tions and discoveries in connection with
magnetism and electricity in relation
to hypnotism made profound impress
sion upon the scientific world some time
ago. has led to a remarkable result. The
latest discovery establishes the fact that
cerebral activity can be transferred to a
crown of magnetized iron, in which the
activity can be retained and subsequent
~ passed on to a second person. lncred
ible as this may seem. DR.. Luys has
proved its possibility by the expert
ments just referred to.
Ha placed the crown, which in real
ity is only a circular band of magnet
ized iron, on the head Of female pa
tent suffering from melancholia, with
a mania for self destruction, and with
such success was the experiment at
tended that within fortnight the pa
tient could be allowed to go free with
out danger, the crown having absorbed
all her marked tendencies
About two weeks afterward he put
the same crown, which meanwhile had
been carefully kept free from contact
with anything else, on the head Of a
male patient suffering from hysteria,
complicated by frequent recurrent pc
RODS of lethargy. The patient was then
hypnotized and Immediately conducted
himself after the manner of the woman
who had previously worn the crown.
Indeed he practically assumed her per-
sonality and uttered exactly the same
complaints as she had done Similar
phenomena have, it is reported, been
observed in the case Of every patient ex-
perimented upon Another experiment
showed that the crown retained the i'm
preston acquired until it was made red
hot. London Telegraph.

There is clever statistician who could

This statistician has attempted to CLASH

and as result has presented tabulated
figures extremely interesting to psychol-

take lady in arms, 81 gentlemen kiss
lady on lips, four gentlemen kiss lady
on cheek, three gentlemen show very
good taste BY kissing lady on eyes, and
two gentlemen kiss lady on hand. 1t
is to be presumed these two out of 100
are the tiniid, diffident kind, though it
is possible that they might be Of the
quietly sentimental nature One gem

added that the statistician is careful to
insert the saving clause Of by mistake I"
There is even record of man kiss

goodness. there is only one In 100, and
the chances are that this man is peculiar.
Seventy two hold lady's hand, II

declare themselves to be deliriously hap

Three out Of 100 stand on one foot when
they make proposal, and two go down
on one knee, while nine make formal
prelude-soinething like the slow music

consuming fame Of his affection for the
heart he plots to ruin, etc
The behavior Of the lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining

their heads on gentleman's breast, and
only one sinks into the arms of chair.
Eleven clasp their arms around the gen

ever that means. Seventy two have eyes
full Of love, and nine out of 100 rush
from the room to tell somebody. Only
four are greatly surprised. and 81 of
100 knew that something was coming.
Five giggle hysterically. and one even
sneezes. Only one Of 100 struggles not

reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an

Indications of Big Corn Crop.

The area planted in corn last year
was 76,ooo,ooo acres, although the
acreage from which the harvest was
finally computed was only 6a, $50, a6o
acres. The difference represented
the area abandoned or diverted to
other crops. The average yield per
acre last season was only 1874 BUSH
els but in the big crop years 1850
and 1891 it was ~ bushels per acre.
There is little doubt that the acreage
this year will be fully as large as in
1891, when it was over 10000, 900
acres, and produced crop of s,o6o,-
$4,000 bushels and in view of the
increased corn planting in the South,
and the probable additions to the
acreage by the utilization of area
abandoned by other crops, it may
equal or surpass that of 1850, when
from an area of 7S,3I9,657 acres a
harvest of a,II2,So2, 900 bushels, the
largest on record, was secured.
The country would have cause to
rejoice in the event of duplication
of that banner year yield. Plentiful
ness of corn would be an experience
that the consumers of the United
States have not enjoyed since 1891.
1t would mean cheaper beef and hog
products, and consequent expansion
of the export trade in meats and lard !;
and it would afford an opportunity
which has been lacking during the
last year to make practical test of
the effect of the missionary work that
has been done in educating European
consumers in the use of corn for
human food, as it is extensively used
nowhere else than in the United
States. Fortunately, all the conditions
are now favorable for the realization
of the hope of big yield of corn,
although the critical period in the de-
velopment and maturing of the plant
has yet to come.-Record.
