ABOUT HALLUClNATiOkS.
How We Are Cheated Into Believing II
What Does Not Exist.

How We Are Cheated Into Believing IN
What Does Not Exist.
Prof. Scripture has been making, in
the Yale psychological laboratory, a.
series of experiments to determine the
sensitiveness of the senses to sugges-
tions, and to show the ease with which
they may be cheated into thinking that
what is not, really exists. The expert
ments, which show not only the power
of suggestion, but the intensity of hall
lucnations, were made on all the
senses.
A person was placed in quiet room
and was told that, when a telegraph
sounder clicked, a very faint tone would
be turned on, and that this tone would
be slowly increased. AS soon as he
heard it, he was to press telegraph
key.
In the first few experiments tone
was produced every time the sounder
clicked, but after that it was sufficient
to click the sounder in order to pro-
duce hallucination. The persons en-
perimented on did not know they were
deceived, and said that all tones were Of
the same intensity.
A light pith ball was dropped regu-
larly Oh the back of the hand to the
sound of the metronome. After few
times it was not necessary to drop
the ball. The persons would feel the,
touch by hallucination.
OF six bottles two contained pure
water and the other four series Of
solutions of cane sugar the first one
half per cent, the second one per cent.
the third two per cent. and the fourth
four per cent sugar. A block was
placed in front of them, so that the
observer could not see them, although
he was aware that they stood near
him.
1t was required or him to tell how
Teak a solution of sugar he could posi-
lively detect. Prof. Scripture took a
glass dropper and deposited a few
drops on the Observers tongue, draw
ing first from the two water-bottles
md then from the sugar solutions, in
the order of their. increasing strength.
The sugar in the solutions was detect
ed in the first trial
The professor then proceeded as be-
fore, but drew from the first water.
bottle every time. The result was that
when the pure water had been "tasted'
from two to ten times, the observer
almost without exception thought he
detected sugar.
In test of olfactory hallucinations,
about three-fourths of the persons ex-
perimented upon perceived the smell
of oil of cloves from pure water
bottle
Another hallucination was that Of a
person who clasped wire between his
thumb and finger, and was shown that
when The battery was connected thG
wire became slightly warm. After
this was done couple Of times, the bat

FEMININE SUICIDES.
Women Take Poison Where Men Shoot
Themselves.


Themselves.
Statistical tables yield curious in
formation to the careful student, says
the Philadelphia Times. For instance,
they show that over one-third of the
women who kill themselves are not yet
rs years of age. They show that women
take poison. where men shoot them
selves. and they show that the poor,
sick and the infrn are not by any kind
of reckoning in the majority. A ply
sician who makes a study of attempted
suicide said this:
"Get "A girl past 25 and she'll go
through poverty, sickness and desertion
Ind misery enough to kill ten men. The
more people suffer the more they cling
10 life. I've seen it in the hospitals. IT
is not the patients with the incurable'
diseases or the hopeless cripples who.
beg to die, but the Young, strong. vital
woman, who hates pain and doesn't
want to suffer it. even for the chance
of getting well. Ii is a strange thing,
this getting of girl past 25. but not
uncommon. Any physician with large
family practice will tell yowof a dozen
cases in his own circle of knowledge.
Sometimes it is called pyromania, some-
times kleptomania, sometimes catalep-
sy. sometimes hysteria, sometimes
feigning and sometimes tantrums-it's
all the same thing-nothng else do
Another physician told of girl who
committed suicide and who left note
stating that her reason was that she
was tired Of doing the same things over
and over every day. The monotony Of
life had become unbearable TO her.
