STORM HYPNOTIsM.
A London Writer Tells of His
Strange Experience in Paris.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.

rum lHe IltlSDuIB DlSpaLC0.
The recent disastrous cyclone in Paris.
which was one of the first of the kind
ever experienced in that city, has opened
up a discussion on a subject hitherto
but little investigated. the mesmeric or
hypnotic influence of storms.
1t Is well known that birds and other
animals are often very restless and dis
quoted before an earthquake, or a Sc
we're storm, and there is every reason to
suppose that they perceive the Fremont
tory tremors and air vibrations before
they are felt by men.
A correspondent of a London daily de-
scribes the experience of himself and his
wife in Paris as illustrative of the inn
pressions to which highly strained and
nervous organizations are subject under
certain conditions of atmospheric or cleo
trical disturbance. The night before the
storm they went to the theater. The at
mosphere was sitting; 1t was almost i'm
possible to breathe. They both expert
enced dead, dun depression on the brain,
that can only be described as the symp-
toms of semi-inebriety.
They went dinnerless and supperless 20

scious of everything. In the morning the

pupils of her eyes were dilated, the whites
were veined, and almost Jet black She
had every symptom of narcotic poisou-
ing.
BY dint OF great courage she recovered
somewhat, and they sat in the court yard
of their hotel while the cyclone ragged,
feeling It, but seeing nothing of its ter
rors. They started for their English
home on the night boat. The writer states
that he went dazed into the car, and fell
asleep Instantly. He has no recollection
Of the trip across the channel, being in a
stupor all the way.
He left London soon after to 90 down
into the country. He says: u slept In the
train, and 1 have gone on sleeping every
few minutes ever since. The cyclone was

still as sleepy as an owl; burt gradually
the mesmeric influence Of the storm is

''The hypnotism Of the cyclone is de-
creasing. The intoierable pressure Of the

Mediterranean navigators were also with

their instructions for navigation, by the
roses, or rhombi, on the charts, by the

1.-THE ISOLATION OF ENGLAND"

The wind is hushed; the darkness grows;
The fainting moon is lost in flight;
Death lifts somber h>ed and throws
His clouds across the face of night.
With parted lips and haggard stare,
That strives and strains to pierce the
gloom,
Each nation crouches in its lair
And, breathless, waits the coming doom.
Dim, shapeless shadows pass like ghosts:
Along the trembling earth they feel
The distant tramp of marching hosts
And hear the smothered clash of steel,
Till reaching out for friendly hands
To guide them through the gloom, they
press
To where one silent figurd stands
Serene in lofty loneliness.
They hurl their taunts, their oaths, theif
prayers,
The snarl of greed, the srowl of hate;
They spit upon the cloak she wears
Or grasp its hem to supplicate.
But still, as though she heard them not,
Her anxious eyes are fixed afar
Among the clouds, on one pale spot,
Where family CLEANS single star.
By that same star she chose her path
For every night in vanished years:
Though screened by mists of doubt ane
wrath,
She sees it still, US if through tears;
Then, CHANGING at the fretful horde
Who call her now to bend the knee,
She lays her hand upon her sword
And turns her eyes toward the sea.

"And you will help.' said the man

''If Doris doesn't mind" said the lady.
So they all went into the quarry and
sought vigorously for the treasure. 1t was
rather a big quarry and much overgrown.
Once or twice Doris lost them for awhile,
but they were always close together and
answered when she called. After II long
time, during which no trace of what they
sought had been discovered, Doris suggest
