When a somnambulist is put into tho
hypnotic condition and then talks Il is
found that the speaker Is that same
personality which spoke and acted dur
ing the time of ordinary somnambui-
ism, showing that the personality which
acts during ordinary somnambulism
and the personality brought into ac-
tion by hypnotism arc the same. This
new personality has OF late become a
subject OF great interest and persistent
study. Not only does IL come into ac-
tivity in ordinary somnambulism and in
the hypnotic condition, but also in
dreams, in rcverie, in abstraction, and
sometimes apparently in normal pas
sive condition. This second PERSONAL
ity has been named the subconscious or
subliminal self, and IL possesses many
curious faculties which we have no
time to consider here; but, whatever
this subliminal self may be, we have In
hypnotism the means OF experimental
~ reaching and influencing IL, and this
is where the great power OF suggestion
appears and is utilized.
Suppose, then, the physician has the
patient in the deep hypnotic sleep; the
patient hears nothing, perhaps feels
nothing. The physician then says to
him; when you awake you will take
the book which lies ON the table, open
it at the forty-third page and read four
lines at the top of the page" He is
then awakened. He has heard nothing,
but his subliminal self, which has been
made accessible by hypnotism, has
heard, and influences him TO carry out
the suggestion. He goes to the table
and takes up the book, finds the forty
third page, and he reads the four lines
at the top Of the page. lie has no
thought but that he Is doing it all of
his own accord, and so he is-he is obey
ing the impulse of his own subliminal
self
Suppose the patient 20 be n boy with
the cigarette habit. and the physician
had suggested as follows: when you
awake you will no longer desire TO
smoke. On the contrary, the very
thought OF IL will be disagrccable to
you, and you viii avoid il altogether"
He wakes, he knows nothing of whas
has transpircd. but he finds he has no
longer the desire 20 smoke, and conse-
quently he ceases the practice.-North

Brant had listened impatiently, for

of the party, and was the one man In
the party in whom he could partly
confide and obtain a disguise. He at
once made his way 10 the commissary
wagons. one of which he knew Hooker
used as tent. Hastily telling him that
he wished TO visit the pickets without
recognition, he induced him TO lend
him his slouched hat and froclS coat,

reports a fact which upsets some old
ideas about the Polar sea. He found
that the sea north of Slbcrin is shallow
in It's southern portion. averaging only
90 fathoms deep, but that above lati-

profound, the bottom falling to depth
OF from 1000 TO 1000 fathoms. IL this
applies to the entire polar basin, then

The Marvellous New Electric Light Signal
Used by the Navy.

The Marvellous New Electric Light Signal
Used by the Navy.
The danger OF making n ship visible
60 the enemy by exhibiting light sig
nails no night has always been serious
consideration i'm naval maneuvers. A
lamp, called the "rat trap" has just
been tried successfully by the French
Mediterranean squadron, in which this
drawback is obviated. The "rat trap" is
n small light, which Is placed In the
stern OF the ship before the wheel. No
othervisible light is permitted on board.
IL throws out an electric light which
cannot be seen on the right or left OF
the ship, and can only be discovered
dead ahead under certain conditions
known TO the seeker. by means of this
invention night signals can be made
when rockets or fash light might be
useless, or liable TO betray the position
OF the fleet 90 the enemy. IL can also
guide q squadron I'm line with all their
lights out, even In dangerous ATTITUDES.
The French navy alone possesses this
light, and from the great precaution
taken to guard its secret IL Is evidently
regarded as OF great importance. Tho
commander Of the ship and one sword
officer alone handle IL, and IL Is kept on
board in n special apartmcnt,of which
the commander holds the key. In one of
the recent tests the squadron left
Marseilles at five o'clock in the evening.
Three hours afterwards the torpedo de-
stroyer Faucon started TO hunt 10 up.
At eight o'clock she weighed anchor
and steamed out OF the harbor in pur-
suit with all lights extinguished cx-
ccpt the "rat trap" Nobody on board
knew the direction the squadron had
taken. but at one o'clock In the morn

ence, he had no friend to turn to- In
his few years of campaigning he had
lost his instinct of diplomacy without
acquiring soldiers bluntness.
The nearly level rays OF the sun forced
him at last to turn aside into one of
the openings of large building-a fa-
nous caravansary OF that hotel-haunted
cnpital-and he presently found himself
in the luxurious barroom, fragrant with
mint and cool with ice slabs, piled SYM
metrically on its marble counters. A
few groups of men were seeking cool
ness at the small tables, with glasses be-
fore them and palm-leaf fans in their
hands, but larger and noisier assem-
blage was collected before the bar.
where a man, collarless and in his shirt
sleeves, with his back to the counter,
was pretentiously addressing them.
Brant, who had modify dropped into
chair in the corner, after ordering a
cooling drink as an excuse for his tenn
porary refuge from the sitting street,
half regretted his enforced participa-
ton in their conviviality. But a sudden
lowering of the speakers voice into a
note OF gloomy significance, seemed IA
miliar to him. He glanced at him quick

was not mistaken-.it was Jim Hooker.

An aching under the bandage around
his head, where the spent bullet had
grazcd his scalp, and the sound of inn
possible voices in his ears were all he
knew rs he struggled slowly back to

seemed delusion, for he was lying in
the hospital OF the headquarters, with
officers of the division staff around him,
and the division commander himself
standing by his cot, and regarding him
with an air of grave, but not unkindly
concern. But the wounded man felt in

NEW YORK, N. Y, July Am argu-
ment as to whether dancing music or
drill music should be played at the picnic
of the Independent Order of the Late Sol
diers of Russia, held in Sewell's Park, in
Maspeth, L. l., to-day, caused a fight
which resulted in the arrest of fifty mine of
the members and the probable fatal injury
of two Constables.
1t is estimated that 100 persons were
more or less hurt. The organization is di-
vided into two factions, the regulars and
the Independents. Both factions were
marching TO the picnic attended by their
families and they began to fight just as
they reached the grounds.
The men took sides with their leaders
and wild conflict ensued. They cut and
slashed each other until Mr.. Sewell, pro-
prietor of the park, called upon Sheriff
Dohl. The Sheriff summoned fifty dep u
ties and hastily sent them to the park.
BY the time the officers arrived the ma
iority OF the men had gone outside the en-
closure. Others were still fighting inside
the gates. The fight waxed hot for nearly
an hour after the deputies arrived. They
arrested number of men.
Constable Sherry had very bad stab
wound in the abdomen, which, it Is
thought, will kill him. Officer Bowman
was found to have sustained stab wounds,
but hopes are entertained for his recovery.
