The society's experiment fund is
constantly growing, but it needs good
deal of money in order to be able to
properly carry on it's work. It Is the
hope of the society to be able TO estab-

necessary for n good start.
Otto Lilienthal contributes to the
Annual most interesting article, in
which he describes his experiments
with double soaring machine, which
gave surprisingly favorable results.
In his previous experiments he found
that while larger surface would be
desirable for more extended flights
than he was able to make, any great
increase made the machine unmanage-
able in high winds.
He therefore constructed double APP
pnratus, In which each surface con-
tanned about OF square feet while the
whole had span of only about IS feet.
The lower surface was similar to the
ones with which he had already made
such notable successes, while the upper
one was without any disturbing infu-
enccs whatever, creating only vertical
lifting force. With this apparatus the
management was exactly the same as
with the single surface.
The experiments he made were most
interesting. An ordinary wind would
carry him almost horizontally from the
top of the hill at which he made his

An inventor proposes To utilize the
compass OF ship TO warn the navIga-
tors of the approach of danger. He
has constructed n compass which In
regulated by chemical which will not
be affected by the magnetic force on
board the ship, but will be keenly
sensitive TO minute symptoms from
any other magnetic influence excrted
at distance from the vessel up to
possibly two miles. This compass
when affected by the magnetism os-
cillates about an eighth of an inch, so
the inventor asserts. When IL Is so

Exectrtcity and Hypnotism ConslGogo1
from Medical vievpoins.
That the mind can 80 influence the
body as to produce organic changes
is we'll illustrated by case detailed by
luke. where woman saw heavy
weight falling and crushing child's
hand. She tainted, and when restored
to consciousness was found TO have an
injury TO her own hand similarly To-
Gated to that sustained by the child.
Not only was there = wound. but ~
went through the various atages OF
suppuration and healed by grAnula-
ton. Other well-attested proofs Of
this power of the mind over tho body
are afforded In the fact that blister
can be rcised by mental suggestion
and that stigmata undoubtedly occa-
sionally appear on the hands and feet
and in the side of certain religious co.
states who wildly see the crucihxion.
DIR. j. w. Robertson says that more
patients are cured by the firm and
tactful influence and suggestiveness Of
the physicians than by the drugs which
they prescribe, in the majority Of
cases, TO stimulate the imagination OF
the patient. He has found that elec-
tricity more than anything else appeals
TO the imagination, and very often the
effects obtained by an electrical appli-
cation are purely psychological. II
has frequently happened to him that
through failure TO properly connect
his circuits, or some other slight mis-
chance, the supply current was cut of.
and yet the patient would exhibit all
the symptoms heretofore experienced
when really receiving large quantities.
DIR. Robertson has frequently, at a
word of suggestion, caused the sensa-
ton of burning at the electrode TO DO
felt, the limb to contract or relax. and
many other phenomena TO assert them
selves which were usually associated
with the application of the electric cur
rent. Another surgical procedure
which has suggestion as basis Is tho
so-called painless extraction Of teeth
by using an electric shock at the mo-
ment OF pulling and thus diverting the
patients attention.

The 1895 figures are for the calendar
year, this being the only complete IL
months under free trade In wool. We
leave our readers TO imagine in what
direction "the industry of lying" has
been encouraged. Again we quote:
But very large part OF the imports
classed as carpets Is composed OF eastern
handmade rugs. The value OF real ma
chine-made carpets brought into this coun-
~ In small"
We suppose that the eastern "hand-
made rugs" made possibly by labor that
Is even cheaper than the miserably paid
British help, do not take the place OF
American carpets. that people buy both
when they need only one, placing the
rugs on top of the carpets, or, perhaps,
feed them TO moths in the attic. No
matter where the rugs or carpets come
from, each one of them takes the place
OF an American product
Now let us see how "small" Is the
proportion of machine-made carpets.
Last year the United Kingdom sent us
556,267 square yards out OF total of
s73.55s square yards OF carpet import
ed, over 60 per cent. of the whole. Other
European countries sent us 245,696
square yards, leaving :i,5oo square
yards sent here from japan and other
countries In the orient and elsewhere.
AS for our exports of carpets. they were
$4,000 square yards less under free wool
In 1898 than in 1894.
There used to be some display of skill
and artifice in the mendacious methods
OF the New York Times, but we are sorry
tonote that IL has now degenerated into
nothing better than a laundering.
dontcare-a-hang, everyday sort of
liar, so that a ready reference TO the
official democratic statistics promptly
exposes the fraud. But we suppose II
must lie for living.
