The existence of a practical agree

ordinary Powers-The Liquor, Tobacco
and Morphine Habits Cured - some
Amazing Pretensions.
Special Chicago Letter
Chicago Is not only a city of original
ideas, but 1t also tries to keep in touch
with the ideas that may be developed
elsewhere. Hypnotism is essentially
q French discovery, and its greatest re-
suits have been developed in Paris. The
extent to which its achievements can
be applied to useful purposes has been
a much-debated subject. According to
the Times-Herald, young hypnotist
has appeared in this city who is said
to possess mesmerlc powers of most
wonderful character. Prof. Charles d.
Brouyette is his name.
The professor Is a young man-hard-
ly more than mere boy in his teens,
as far as personal appearance goes
and YET Sa claims to have accomplished
hypnotic feats that have startled some
of the Oldest and most experienced stu
dents of This strange art, occult science,
or whatever one chooses to call it. His
pale, smooth, almost girlish face is
framed in a shock of jet-black hair,
which Is wavy but not absolutely curly.
So much for the personal appearance
and attributes of this latest prodigy
who has come to notice in the much
exploited field of mesmerism. He is
Chicago man, but of French extraction.
He received his education in the public
schools of this city, but never had any
particular consciousness of gifts In
hypnotism until one day, when about
16 years old he came in contact with
an experienced teacher of mesmerism,
who recognized his latent strength in
this direction and induced him to be-
come student of the psychic phenom-
ena, develop his innate powers, and use
them for the good of mankind.
According to young Brouyette, hyp-
notism Is destined to be one of the
great reform instrumentalitics. His
professions are so remarkable that
they are at least worthy Of attention.
According to this disciple of Mesmer,
II a man is a slave of drink, let him
consult hypnotist and finda, panacea.
He claims that he Is not only able to
remove all troublesome ideas, but who
says he is specially endowed with the
powers that will set a man free from
whisky, morphine, cigarettes or plug
tobacco. In France this science of hyp-
notlsm Is much better understood than
it Is here; but this boy not only studied
here but accomplished some of his
most wonderful results among the
friends who knew him best.

Another desirable nublic enterprise is
about completed. This Is the aquarium
at Castle Garden IN Battery Park. The
work has been a long time in progress.
Politics intervened, and changes were
made in management, but at last the
result OF three years OF effort is ap-
parent. The cost has been about $780,
600. In spite OF delays, the work has
been well done, and the old stone fort
which has had such an eVentful his-
tory, has been turned into one Of the
interesting public Institutions of the
city.
The ball cranks OF this city are made
happy by the annouI cement that Amos
Rusle, the crack pitcher, is next year

The quarrel between Rusie and Mana
ger Freeman, which resulted in the
retirement of the org pitcher from the
diamond, was an unfortunate thing for
the game in this city. 1t all came from
a fine inflicted on the pitcher. 1t is'
stated that, in the settlement, Rusie
gets full pay for all the time he was
ddle. He is considered by many the
best pitcher in the business. Unlike
some OF the present players on the
New York team, he is physically a real
giant. He now weighs 234 pounds, but
will have to reduce TO 200 to pitch
his best game.

white, but some fine effects in subdued
tones and of appropriate designs have
been added to the capitals and frieze.
In the center of the main floor, directly
under the dome Is the great pool, 8S feet
In diameter and feet deep, which Is to be
the home of white whale that has not
yet been captured. Surrounding this, but
outside the central colonnade are six small
or pools, each of which is 2S feet long by
IA feet wide and 8 feet in depth. Around
the interior run the galleries. Under them
Is row of wall tanks.
The large pools on the ground floor will
be best viewed from the galleries, although
the visitor may walk to their very edge.
They will be filled with the larger marine
animals, such as seals, porpoises and tur-
ties, and with such smaller inha habitants of
the deep as can live in harmony with
them. The pools are lined with white
porcelain tiles, over which marine plants
trail gracefully.
Much attention has been given to the
proper lighting of the building This Is
one OF the most serious problems that had
to be solved. Too much light, as was
found after expensive experimenting, kill
ed the fish and promoted plant life In the
tanks to too great an extent, while too lit
tie light would make the aquarium useless
for the purpose for which 1t was meant.
The floor tanks are now lighted by hooded
windows in the dome, and from the gal
leries above every inch of the bottom can
be plainly seen. The wall tanks are ar
ranged even better for observing the move
ments of the flnny captives, for the light
reaches the spectator from the other side of
the tanks through the glass sides.
The lower wall tanks are from 8 to s
feet wide and feet deep, while those of
the upper tier are from to feet wide and
of the same depth. On one side of the
building the tanks are filed with fresh wa
ter, and on the other side with salt water,
thus dividing the two great species of fish.
Beside each tank Is tablet on which are
printed the names, scientific and common,
of the fishes 1t contains, few remarks as
to their habits and colored plate of each
specimen, 80 that the exhibition will be
most instructive as well as entertaining.
The fresh water used In the tanks is
taken from the city aqueducts, while the
salt water is pumped up from tide we'll
which was sunk under the foundations of
the building. There are now In the tanks
about 70 varieties of fishes, and others arc
constantly being added. An attempt has
been made first to show a complete oollec-
tion Of varieties native to American wa
ters, and after this Is done foreign speci-
mems and strange varieties will be acquired
from time to time. MARX NORRIS

printing. The presses which produce
these resplendant colors with which it
seems necessary now to invest current
humor, are one of the latest triumphs
of that wonderful firm of web press
builders, r. Hoe & Co. The city daily
which has not now one or more of these
three or four color web presses is de-
cidedly behind the age. The result has
been to give to the papers issuing col
ored supplements predominance they
never possessed before.
From decidedly tentative beginning
color printing in our big dalies has be-
come a strong and decidedly pictur-
esque feature. Artists and pre5smen
have gradually mastered the difficulties
of the problem, and, except for rather
riotous preference for strong colors
and effects, the color supplements are
a decided success. There is constant
improvement, and no doubt there will
be gradual mastery OF the best artistic
possibilities OF rapid color printing.
1t is definitely settled that the con-
struction of the North River bridge is
to 60 forward. It is ten years now
since the idea was broaChed. The
original plan was for cantilerer
bridge, with a river span Of 1000 feet,
and a tower 1000 feet high in mid
stream. This plan was overruled by
the Secretary of War, who held that no
bridge that required a pier in the chan
mel could be thrown across the Hud-
son. So the suspension plan was adopt
ed. The engineering problem to be
solved in drawing up the plans for the
bridge have been very difficult.
1t may be said to be in many respects
the greatest engineering feat ever at
tempted. The bridge is to have CEN
tral span Of 3,254 feet. The floor is
to be $50 feet above high tide. The
original estimated cost Of the structure
was $60,000,000. A contract has been
signed by the New York and New Jer-
sey Bridge Company and the Union
Bridge Company to erect the bridge at
a cost not to exceed $25, 100000 This

Special New York Letter.
The citizens OF this benighted town
can take hope. Mr.. Moody says we
are becoming good. To be sure, DR..
Parkhurst still indulges in omnibus
speculations as town moral status, and
Senator Ralnes and his Committee are
inuuiring into the alleged wholesale
violation of the liquor law. But Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Chief Conlin, Of the
Police Department, are willing to tesu-
fy that our condition is better now
than It was year ago, and Mr.. Moody
Is convinced that we are in very nope
full condition for conversion to right
eousness.
1t is a curious fact that after Ma
tional election the American people are
disposed to be religiously inclined.
There is doubtless a two-fold reason.
The victors are so grateful that they
are read to shout "HOsannah to God
In the Highest" and the defeated are
so grumpy that nothing short of the
consultations Of the Gospel seems capa-
bic of doing them any good. Serious
ly, the clergy are shrewdly convinced
that after-election serial efforts are
apt to be more successful than at other
times.
1t Is certainly encouraging that our
town is no longer to be clased as the
worst of its size in the world. 1t never
really was, but our business men took
q notion to reform it, and in the clamor
of the contest some pretty hard things
were said. But now the business men
are making atonement by leading in
practical efforts to spread the inhu-
ences Of religion rather than Of par
dsan rancor.
Theology is not perhaps the strong
est card of a newspaper writer, but the
spirit of religious effort is in the air,
and the daily press exploits 1t abund-
antly. One of the marked features Of
the daily press during the past year or
so has been the development of color

bow They Gather and Preserve Their Food
During the summer.

during the summer
The number of birds that go to the
Arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They go, not by thou
sands, but by millions, to rear their
young on the tundra. The cause which
attracts them is because nowhere in
the world does nature provide at the
same time and in the same place such
a lavish prodigality of food" That the
barren swamp of the tundra should
yield a food supply so great as to tempt
birds to make journeys Of thousands Of
miles to rear their young in a land of
plenty only to be found beyond the
Arctic circle, seems incredible. The
vegetation largely consists of cram
berry, cloudberry, and crowberry
bushes. Forced by the perpetual sun
shine of the Arctic summer, these bear
enormous crops of fruit. But the crop
is not ripe until the middle and end Of
the Arctic summer, and if the fruit
eating birds had to wait until it was
ripe they would starve, for they ar
rive the very day of the melting of the
snow. But each year the snow de-
scends on this immense crop of ripe
food before the birds have time to

the snow, perfectly fresh and pure and
the melting snow discloses the bushes
with the unconsumed last years crop
hanging on them, or lying, ready 10 be
eaten, on the ground.
The frozen meal stretches across the
breadth Of Asia. 1t never decays, and
Is accessible the moment the snow
melts. Ages have taught the birds that
they have only to fly to the Arctic cir
Gle to find such store of "crystallized
foods" as will last them till the bushes
are once more forced into bearing by
the perpetual suIB. Int. The same heats
which free the fruits bring into being
the most prolific insect life in the
world; the mosquito swarnls on the un-
dra. No European can live there with
out veil after the snow melts; the
gun barrels are black with them, and
the cloud often obscures the sight.
Thus the insect-eaing birds have only
to open their mouths to fill them with
mosquitoes, and the presence OF swarns
of tender little warhlcrs, Of cliff chaffs,
pipis, and wagtails in this Arctic region
Is accounted for.
