RELIGIOUS EcsrAcy.

Instanccs and Causes-Fasting and Io..
 of Sleep.
 The sect known in the 1Ith century as Hesychasts. and later the Ompba- lopsychies of Mount Athos, claimed to have, and doubtless did have. tba. same experience. Prof. Preyer, in a note to his "Bynotismus," has given an interesting account of them. Their method was to drop the chin upon the breast, fix the eyes upon the navel and wait for the light to burst upon them
 A great ecclesiastical controversy arose over these practices. The lan. guage which George Fox and the early quakers use of the ''inner light" seems to point to the same thing. One of my graduate students, while under ether, had similar experience, which makes an excellent commentary upon Polonius' statement that the soul is ''pure light" II took form, I was a body of light in an abyss of ethereal gray; in form 1 was as memory repro duces size, Is inches by eight, a round-. ed disk; l was not looking at myself" Such experiences would seem from nv inquiries to be far from uncommon and would be grateful to any of my readers who can give me more cases.
 Among the monks and nuns of the medieval church ecstatic states were common. The constant fasting and loss of sleep to which many of these saints condemned themselves are known upon independent evidence tc be fruitful sources of hallucinations. and prolonged meditation upon given topic determined the general form of the vision. The enforced celibacy of the monastic life and the practice of self-torture were further conditions of the greatest importance. Popular Science Monthly. |

Used Bottled Breath,

Mountain climbers will be interested to learn of the successful experiments of Dr. Berson. of Stassfurt, who by means of bottled breath" has been en- abled to ascend to great heights, botb on land and in a balloon. The doctor when endeavoring to get further above the level of the sea than anyone else has ever climbed or flown, carries along cylinder of compressed oxygen, fitted with tube for breathing. Whenever he experiences discomfort on account oi the rarity of the atmosphere a few whiffs from the cylinder suffices to re store him.
 Dr. Berson, by means of this device recently ascended to an altitude of 31,. 300 feet, which is 2,O00 feet higher thar the summit of Mount Everett.
