The left eye was then carefully ban daged with soft black cloths, the mask was adjusted with its single tube and so worn during the waking hours of the eight days experiment. The pro- lessor has made two tests, the first be- ing one of two days, being half of the first day, the whole of the second and a part of the third day. the results of which were presented in a paper read last year before the Psychological Con gress at Munich: the second and pro tracted, or eight-day test. was made at Berkeley. In both tests the mask was worn all day and removed at night, the eyes being closed while the re- moval was taking place, wher upon a bandage was adjusted. During the first test the professor remained en- tirely within doors, but while the sec ond was in progress he spent much of the time in the open air. accompanied by guide who directed him when he became confused or was inclined to go away.
 The round. clear field of vision which the tube allowed him was a compass of 45 degrees. or less than half the range of sight of one unobstructed eye, which is no degrees. This limit of his field of observation precluded the professor from seeing any part of his body ex- cept the lower portion of the trunk and limbs, and the lower halves of his arms. These members. as soon as the mask was adjusted, became strangely inverted. The left hand seemed the right hand and vice versa; the feet were reversed and the legs, instead of leading upward and toward him, were directed downward and out of the field of his vision. His chest seemed to be a cavity. his throat and head a void. He lowered his head to reflect where woe "ot;" the fire heated his scalp and caused him to instinctively place his hand on the top of it; as he did so he became happily conscious that it was still there.
 The room was upside down All ob- jects and utensils upon the floor seemed to stick against the ceiling and to defy the laws of gravitation. The flames of the wood fire in the fireplace, in stead of leaping upward, seemed to be an inverted cone of yellow blaze, fall ing from the ceiling to the floor. Things did not seem real; the results of sight appeared illusory. as though they were the distorted representations of real things which were in some way con cealed by them. Wherever he looked the arrangement was the same Con fusion seized the professor Cautious ly he approached a rocking chair.

BABY'SAWFUL HUMOR
Eighteen Months Baby's Intense Suffering. Could Only Sleep
 Under Opiates.
Thought Ear Would Slough Of Every Known Remedy Tried.
 Physicians Skill Baff1ed.
Mother Distracted Tried the Cuticura Remedies. Noticed
 Relief in One Week.
PERFECT CURE IN TWO MONTHS
A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my little daughter, May, was eigh- teen months old her head and face broke out in one solid mass of bleeding sores, and one of her ears was so affected, that the doc tor thought at one time that it would slough off. Her suffering was intense, getting no rest at all, unless under the influence of opl- ates. The physician tried every known rem edy, but seemed to be baffled, and instead of getting better her head, face, and ear seemed to get worse all the time. Distracted with her condition, did not. know what to do, until one day was advised to try CUTICURA REMEDIES. I purchased the CUTICURA RE- SOLVENT, SOAP, and OINTMENT, and persist ently used the remedies.
 Before the Jfrst tCeek I noticed that the little sUferer scGS beginning to get relief. I admin istered the RESoLvENT inwardly, when I bathed her with the SOAP, and used the ONT MENT freely, and in less than taCo months my little darling was entirely cured and acell, and she got as fat as a little pig. It is now over two years since that happy event took place, and not symptom of the dreadful disease has ever returned. She is bright, and no marks whatever are to be seen from the effects. You are at liberty to use this as you see fit, and l will gladly answer any and ali inquiries made to me with reference to the above stated facts. MRS. JAMES MELTON, Oct. 20, 1897.

TO o live for over a week with one
 eye entirely excluded from light
 and with the other looking
 through a tube set to lenses
 1 which turn upside down every
 object upon which you gaze, which turn upon the wrong end the whole world about you and cause it to appear that everyone with whom you talk is standing upon his head, to con- tinue this for such a period that the mind becomes lost to the old arrange ment of thi-gs and accepts the new as the normal, such an experience, during the transition, would set many men crazy, but it has not had that effect upon George M. Stratton, professor of psychology of the uriN ersity at Berke- ley, who has lately subjected himself to such an experience
 The professor engaged in this novel experiment for the purpose of testing theory of the science of optics which holds that in order for the mind to grasp the position of an object as an upright it is necessary for the retfna to inyert the image of 1t: when the image is projected from the eye the mind gets the idea of it being in the position in which it actually is, but in order to get that idea, a part of the process Of the eyes operations Is to turn the object upside down, so that the Image in the retina is inverted
 The purpose of Professor Stratton's investigation was to combat this the ory of science and to show that the minds acceptance of the positions of things depends upon relations of space, touch and the locations of other objects. That it is entirely possible to perceive upright positions and accord our movements to their locations in space by going through the world with all objects appearing in exactly the position that their images stand in the retina of the eye It was to prove this, to show that one could come to accom- modate himself to an upside down world, could live in it, work through it and not suffer inconvenience from the topsy turVy aspect of things, that Pro- 1essor Stratton endured his curious or deal.
 Throughout he carefully noted his sensations, analysed his own conduct. the tendency of his will, the sugges- tions of his mind and wrote a copious diary of his experiences. which he transmitted to an Eastern specialist magazine devoted to psychological sci ence. Advance sheets of the contribu- tion showing 1t to be fOrty-five pages long have reached the professor at his home in Berkeley.
 The professor arranged a mask to wear over his face, with a set of lenses fitting both eyes It was found. however, that this contrivance could not be used. At a short distance from the unobstructed eyes their lines of sight converge and both eyes receive the same impression of the one object. But the professors tubes were about four inches long, and their projection interfered with this coalescence of the retinal lines, so that there were set up distinct images of the objects seen. Headache supervened after these dual tubes had been worn but few min utes, and this increased in severity as the hours wore on until it ultimately became unedurable and the left tube with its lens was taken out of the mask, leaving only the right one re- maining.

The house sat there flat on the ground and would not turn bottom upward for naught. The trees grew stubbornly in the unmoving earth. despite the profess sor's feeling that it was all wrong, that they should be growing downward: and there was that fire cracking away in that fireplace which had come down from the ceiling and now lay provCk- ingly below his field of vision while it ought to be above.

 Quickly he removed the mask, took the cloths from his imprisoned left eye. when, ah! the light entering it pierced it like hot needles; copiOus tears inn mediately suffused it. The light was too painful to be endured. The profes- sOr repaired to a darkened room, ad- justed black netting in front of the eye, and gradually cOaxed it into usefulness by subjecting it for periods to low de- grees of light, varying higher as the day wore on.

Face and Neck One Inflammation. Not Able to See, Unable To Sleep for Weeks
 From Severe Pain.
Friends Could Not Recognize Face So Swollen and Hideous. Three Doctors Could
 Not Relieve.
CURED IN TWO WEEKS
 BY CUTlCURA REMEDIES.

I have suffered with a case of Eczema of the worst kind, my face and neck down to my shoulders were one inflammation, was not able to see out of my eyes for quite while. and was unable to sleep for weeks on account of the severe pain, which nearly drove me in- sane. My face and neck were swollen and made me look hideous. I hardly recognized myself in mirror, and my friends would not have known me, only on account of my clothes and carrying myself. The torture and intense pain l endured all that time, no wonder that there are so many suicides.
 Three doctors, of good practice, at different times were attending me, and not one of them could relieve me of my pain, swelling, and blotches. gave all up. A friend advised me to try CUTIcURA REMEDIES. I did and was made new man.
 My first bottle of CUTICuRA REsoLvEST was taken on Feb. 1S 1897, also CUTIoURA (ointment and CUTICURA SOAP. There was immediately q great change, my shoulders and neck turning to their natural color.
 I used total of three bottles of CUrrCURA REsoLvEST, four boxes CUTIcURA (ointment) three cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and my friends and one of the doctors are surprised, and asked who cured me, and tell them quickly CUTICURA REMEDIES. J. V. KAFKA

Circus Day.

Sig. Sautelle will visit Skowhegan on
Friday, July -, with one of the largest
one ring circus in America. This is
what the Glens Falls Times says:
Sautelle has good as well as big
show. In all, Sautelle has twelve tents,
including the big auditorium with seat
ing capacity of $500, the side show tent,
dining hall, stables. blacksmith shop and
dressing rooms. These, which are ar
ranged Systematically around the grounds,
are models of neatness and order. In
the stables were tied about $50 horses,
ponies and donkeys. The animals are a
fine lot The other belongings of the
big show are fifty wagons, instruments
for two bands and an orchestra, small
animals and dogs, and thousand and
one pieces of rope. tackle, etc.
Sig, Sautelle is ruler OF all, In his
work he is assisted by a general manag-
er, press managers, superintendent and
assistants in every department. In all
over 200 men are employed in the manage
ment and running of the show.
The street parade at noon showed two
special features. The humanitarian
could not have been i'll pleased with the
condition of the horses, which are round
ed. fat and full of life The other thing
was the cleanliness and bright appearance
of the wagons-in all parade more
bright, attractive and more worthy OF
remembering than any such that has Wis
tied Glens Falls in years. Considerable
enthusiasm was aroused by the chariot
on which very good painting of the i'll
fated Maine appeared.
Briefly Sig. Sautelle has very good
show, which is ably managed.
