The great secret OF the popularity of
Columbia bicycles is the thoroughress
with which they are made This
thoroughness depends first and last
upon the rigid system of inspection that
Is maintained throughout the Columbia
factories. 1t Is an actual fact that
every part of every Columbia is in
spected after every operation by men
who do nothing else, and so great b
the output that 1nsteador having unernan

THE HYPNOTIzED REPORTER.

The hypnotic craze seems to have sur
vived the departure o: the Sages from
Scranton, for the city now boasts of sew
eral operators who have discovered
that they possess the unseen force that
has puzzled scientists since the palmy
days of Mesmer. These Operators are
not at loss for material to practice on, and
find plenty Of subjects who profess to
yield to influence of the evil eye. In most
cases the sport is probably harmless, as
the real subjects are very rare. In case
of genuine hypnotism. however. the ex-
periments are dangerous and in all prob
ability serious results may come from
some of the back garret seances in winch
amateur clairvoyants are made to do
ridiculous things at the command of the
local Mahatmas, who transfix one by the
magnetism of their eye balls. 1t is said
that persons of strong will and character
can often be easily hypnotized and be-
come the best subjects. This may be true
but I am of the opinion that there Is
something lacking in the upper story of
the individual who will ai;ow an amateur
hypnotist to look wall-eyed at him or
perform the other incantations necessary
to produce the required state of imbecil-
ity. If reports of the success of amateur
mesmerism in Scranton are true. 1t is evil
dent that the services of the fool killer
are in demand in this vicinity.
