On the last Friday in May the Mus.

sembled and demanded that the Gov.
ernor arm them to avenge themselves
on the Cretans. The Governor refused,
and the mob took possession of the
city. Many Christians we're killed
and mutilated, and the Turks slew
Christians wherever found, sometimes
entering the houses Of the Cretans for
their victims. The Sultan has done
all in his power to bring about peace.
Long ago he deposed Abdullah, the
cruel Governor. and appointed Georgi
Berovitch, the Prince of Samos and q
Christian, in his stead. This action
has done much to quiet the disorder,
but the solution is far from having
been reached as yet.

HypnOtism Produces Disease.

Professor Elmer Gates, the brain
student and director of the laboratory
of Psychology aud Psychurgy at
Washington, has just written an elab-
crate article for the New York Jour-
nal in which he describes his recent
study of the brain of a woman who
before her death had been frequent
ly hypnotized. He found the
tissue congested, the arteries di.
lated, and the veins heightened
and tortuous and lying within
surrounding bed of coaguIated fluid
which had oozed from them. He con-
cludes from this, and from the fact
that only one area is trained under
hypnotic influence. leaving the areas
of normal faculties quiescent, that
'the practice of hypnotism produces
disease of the cerebral cortex-the
most important part OF the brain"

Turks. The proximate cause OF the
present revolution was the cruelty OF
Abdullah Pasha, the Turkish Gov.
ernor, who prosecuted the Christians
and killed them without the shadow of
justification. In 1889 q treaty was
signed by the Cretans and the Sultan
of Turkey after one year of revolu.
tion. This treaty has been violated
time and again by the Porte. Finding
that peaceable means we're of no avail
with the throne at Constantinople,
the Cretans decided that in revolution
alone lay any hope'of not only freedom
but OF even security in their lives and
homes. They determined to throw
Off the Turkish yoke and to place no
more faith in any treaty with the
the Turks, unless 1t were guaranteed
by the Powers of Europe.
This revo luton was organized by
Johannis Petropoulaki, the Spartan
representative at the Athens Parlia-
ment. His father was General in
the Cretsn revolution of 1869. To
his aid came Johannis Koundouraki, q

scion of one of the best families in
Asphykos, a city in Crete. Koundour-
aki was educated at the University of
Athens, where he was given the degree
o Ill. d. in 1892. The Turkish Gov.
en- inent had made him Judge in his
ovid city, and he had served in that
capacity for years. The opposition
of his countrymen induced him to
resign his post and begin the work of
liberating his people from the oppres.
sion of the Mussulman.
The first duty of the patriot was to
collect funds with which to carry on
the war. Committees were appointed
in all the cities of the world in which
lived Greeks in any large numbers.
In Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt, SlO,-
900 was raised in one day, and it is
said that the committees in Egypt
have succeeded in collecting as much
as $4,000 day ever since. Contri-
buttons poured in from all quarters of
the world. In the United States cities
like New York, Boston, Chicago and
San Francisco gave literally, and the
sinews of war we're furnished for the
patriots. Greeks from all parts OF
the world are focking to the standard
Of the revolution, and soon the num-
bers of patriots in the island will be
SO great and the revolutionists will be
so powerful as to force the Sublime
Porte into making such concessions as
will satisfy the people or into relin-
gushing its hold upon the island and
giving the people their liberty.
The first fighting came about in this
way: In the city OF Asphykos a
Greek policeman, Dimitri Theodos-
ius offended two Turks. They lay in
wait for him that night and murdered
him. The assassination was so wan.
ion that the people of the city arose
and marched against Turkish garri-
son of 1900 in the vicinity of the town.
Surprising the Turks, the Cretans
killed 200 of them, drove out the 9TH
ers and captured the fortification, its
supplies and ammunition. Rapidly
did the revolution spread, and soon
two Cretan States, Sphakia and Apo.
korona, were in the hands OF the in
surgents. At the present time the
Cretan army numbers about 35, 900.
