LilienttaI. the Filler.

One Ct the best known and most skill
full fiers is a German named Lilienthal,
who, after years of study and trials,
made in the summer of 1891 pair of
wings curved like great birds As the
result Of his studies and experiments
he believes curved surfaces better than
fiat planes, in which he agrees with LIE
Bris, Goupil and Phillips, other students
of the subject. All these men believe
that the curved shape of birds wings
has much to do with their flying, help
ing them to go against the wind-a
strange effect which the Eyench have
named aspiration.
Provided, then, with wings and tail,
Lilienthal began to practice, at first
upon a spring board. and afterward in
a billy region near Berlin. Even after
he was able to sail as far as 90 feet, he
found that it was best to arrange the
wings SO that they could be easily
thrown off. Otherwise, he coolly says,
81 might have had broken neck in
stead of sprains which always healed in
a few weeks. y
In 1892 he made larger wings, and
learned to sail farther than before, ris
ing 20 or 80 feet from the ground upon
favoring wind. Since then Lilienthal
has attached to his wings a powerful
little engine, and he is now making at
tempts to learn its management Just
what he has done is not known yet, but
he has fewer accidents and improves as

Enoch Arden UP to Date.

Some few days back lady who be-
ieved herself to be widow suddenly
received, under peculiar circumstances,
visit from her husband, who, one
night during the commune, in 1871, dis
appeared completely, as indeed did
many others at that time. AT the meet
ing between husband and wife the for
mer was muffled up and consequently not
recognized by his spouse, who sent him
about his business. He eventually OBJ
tanned hearing, at which he explained
that relative had died, leaving small
property to her and the husband, whom
she supposed dead. After conveying this
piece of news the strange visitor received
more attention, and the woman readily
consented to go next morning i'll his
company to a notary's office, where the
title deeds would be given over to her.
All went well until the pair were safe
~ inside the lawyers room, when the
mysterious stranger threw aside the
wrappings with which he had previous
ly enveloped himself, and the astonished
wife then beheld her husband SO over
come was she by the apparition that she
mechanically signed various papers set
before her without inquiring into their
contents. Once outside the office the
man turned to his wife and said, 'tYou
have just put your signature to certain
documents without which / could not
enter into possession of the property left

HAS TWO ExISTENCES.
An English Girl las Acquired What Sci
entists Call Double Consciousness.

At recent meeting of the Clinical

distinguished suburabn practitioner
whose name is withheld, in order not to
afford any clew to the identity of the
patient, showed girl, IL years of age
who exhibited in the most complete and
indubitable form the condition known
as dual existence, or double con-
sciousness. F."
Last year. after a severe illness, which
was diagnosed to be meningitis, she be-
came subject to temporary attacks of
Inconsistencies, ON awakening from
which she appeared in an entirely differ
ent character. In her normal condition,
she could read and write and speak flu
emily and with comparative correctness.
In the altered mental condition follow
ing the attack she Loses all memory Of
ordinary events, though she can recall
things that have taken place during pre-
vious attacks. So complete is this alter
alton of memory that at first she was
unable to remember even her own name,
or to identify herself or her parents. By
patient training IN the abnormal condi-
ton she has been enabled to give things
their names, though she still preserves
a baby fashion of pronouncing.
She sometimes remains in the abnor-
NAL condition for days together, and the
change to her real self takes place sud-
denly, without exciting surprise or dis
may, and she forthwith resumes posses
sion Of her memory for events of her or
binary life to the exclusion of those
which have transpired during the ab-
normal state. During the last month or
so she appears to have entered en- a new
phase. for, after a mental blank Of q
fortnight's duration, she awakened COM
pletely oblivious Of all that had happened
since June, 1895. and she alludes to
events that took place just anterior to
that date as though they were Of quite
recent occurrence. In fact, she is living
mentally III July, 1895.
These cases, though rare, are Of course
not infrequently met with, and they
have been carefully studied, especially in
France, where women appear moro prone
to neurotic manifestations. The ny
pothesis that finds most favor is that the
two halves Of the brain do not work in
unison-in other words, that there has
been some interference with the connec-
lions which, in the ordinary normal be-
ing, make of wonderfully composite
organ like the brain one organic whole.

sometimes the other, takes possession of

mere has Just died at Paris. I'm the
suburb or Passy, an old man who for
the last 80 or 40 years has been draw
ing steadily an annuity of some 1000
francs year from the estate Of Lord
hosebery. The story of the manner in
Whlch ne came to receive this annuity
Is rather an odd one. 1t appears that
the late Lord Rosebery, father of the
present earl used to spend a good deal
or mis- time in Paris during the reign
OF King Louis Philippe. One day he
called upon member of the cabinet
with whom he was acquainted and
asked to be received at once. The at
tendant, who did not know who Lord
Roseoery was, declared that this would
De impossible unless he had taken the
trouble to write in advance for an au-
dience
Lord Rosebery, however, insisted and
named the man his card. The latter
took II somewhat reluctantly and
stopped to read the name, when the old
peer. who is of a very choleric tenper-
ament, Immediately broke forth in a
torrent of abuse, assailing the attend
ant with all kinds of opprobrious emf
thets, to which the man replied in an
angry manner So loud did the noise
OF the dispute become that the minis
ter opened the door, and. on hearing
Lord Rosebery's complaint immedi-
ately dismissed the usher.
Two days later the earl received a
call from the man, who addressed him
as follows: THE other day when YOU
assailed me with all kinds of insulting
epithets 1 was acting as a servant and
therefore unable to resent them as 1
should have wished. To-day / am a
free man, no longer in service, and I
come as a former cavalry officer to ask
you to give me satisfaction for the in
dignity which you put upon me-"
After some hesitation Lord Rosebery
accepted the challenge and the duel
took place at Lonchamps, several shots |
being exchanged without either party |
being injured. On returning to Paris |
and thinking over the whole matter |
Lord Rosebery came to the conclusion |
that 1t would be disagreeable IL IL were
to become known that he, one of the
most aristocratic men of his day, had
been guilty of fighting with a lackey.
And II was a view of averting this and
n placing his adversary above the ne
,essity of ever being obliged to revert
% domestic service for a living that he
settled upon him the annuity above
