future it is intended to impress on the
management of the mosque that each pro-
fessor should keep to one subject; that the
students should be obliged to take notes
and pass periodical examinations.
Outside lectures on scientific subjects
and on matters of present-day interest
have also been established. and about 100
students from the mosque attend these,

conclusion on the part of the crew

which had marked the voyage from
Rosario. A few of the bugs had stow
ed themselves away with the cargo,
and, being very prolific insects. they
started in at once to obey the Biblical
injunction, which says: Increase and
multiply" They reared large fami-
lies in an incredibly short space of
time, and soon owned the ship. They
not only ate everything in sight. but
they bored their way through the ce-

most of the water. They occupied the
bunks and even took possession of the
captains cabin. In fact, they ran

MENTAL SUGGESTION THE CURE.
instances In Which Its Use Has Been
Successful.

SuCCessluls
From the Medical Record
If an individual has faith in a medi-
cine or in treatment he will assuredly
derive more benefit from that medicine
or treatment than if he We're skeptical
as to its merits. There can be little
doubt that the sympathetic physician
is the one best calculated to lead his
patient to recovery. Again, in many
diseases the good that may be wrought
to- the sufferer by the agency Of men
tai suggestion is undeniable. Professor
j. M. Baldwin, referring to this fact in
connection with insomnia, says:
In experimenting upon the posi-
plllty OF suggesting sleep to another
nave found certain strong reactive in
1luences upon my own mental condi-
ton. Such an effort which involves the
picturing of another as asleep is a
strong auto-suggestion of sleep, taking
effect in my own case in about five
minutes if the conditions be kept con-
slant The more clearly the patients
sleep is pictured the stronger become
the subjective feeling of drowsiness.
An unfailing cure for insomnia, speak
ing for myself is the persistent effort
to put someone else to sleep by hard
thinking of the end in view, with a
continued gentle movement, such as
stroking the other with the hand
DR.. E. c. Spitzka of New York has
recently given some really remarkable
instances Of the power of mental sug-
gestion. He cites the well known fact
that the mortality from wounds and
diseases in a defeated army, compared
with victorious army is as four to
three, and even three to two He also
refers to the incontrovertible fact that
persons in robust health have been
known to die apparently of starvation
after being without food from three to
five days. DR.. Spitzka is of the opinion
that these individuals did not die of
actual starvation, but from the physi-
cal effects of hunger The proof of this
contention lies in the fact that persons
have been known to fast of their free
will for more than 40 days without in
juring their constitution to any appre-
ciable extent. Many examples estab-
fishing the truth of this statement
might be given, but it will be sufficient
to quote one from DR.. Spitzka's paper.
He says: TN the graver forms of hys-
terra, when loss of sensation occurs in
exactly one-half of the body you can
lay piece Of tinted paper on the sem
sitive side; then, suggesting it to
be mustard plaster, red area will
appear on the corresponding unsensi-
tive side. Blisters of such character
that scars have permanently remained
from them have been produced in SINH
lar cases by the same method" The
medical profession, it appears more
than likely, has not as yet wholly APP
preciated the advantages to be derived
from the employment of mental sug-
gestion.

WAS FATALLY INJURED
Thomas Bresnahan Died at the
Hospital.
STRUCK BY FALLING ROCK
He Was a Carman Employed in the
Never Sweat Mine-His Head
Was Crushed In-Possessed
Remarkable Vitality,

Thomas Bresnahan, carnran en-
ployed at the Never Sweat mine, was
fatally injured by being struck on the
head by falling rock while at work
in the mine yesterday morning about
2:3O o'clock. He lived till last evening
and died at the Sisters hospital, where
he was taken for surgical attention.
Bresnahan was at work on the 700
level running ore from an ore chute
to the station. He had about finished
cleaning up when he had occasion to
pass the manway. While in the act of
doing SO a rock came down the man.
way and struck him on the left side of
the head. The rock was heavy one
and struck the unfortunate miner with
such force that a large spot on the
left side of the head was completely
crushed in. He fell unconscious to the
floor and was picked up and carried to
the station by the other miners. He
reached the hospital shortly after 8
o'clock. He was even then becoming
paralyzed and the attending surgeon
knew there was no hope for him. The
skull was crushed in SO far that the
brain was squeezed out and the blood
vessels were so badly ruptured that
the amount of blood he lost would
in itself have been sufficient to have
caused death. The surgeons did not
expect the man to live till they flushed
dressing the wound, but he was pcs
sessed of remarkable vitality and lin
gered till nearly 5 o'clock last evening.
Where the rock came from which
caused the death of Bresnahan is not
known definitely, but it is said work
men were shoveling ore into the chute
above and that the rock fell over the
side and went down the manWay.
The deceased had been resident of
Butte a number Of years. He was As
years of age and single and lived with
sister, Mrs. Alex Mcmahon, at 443
East Broadway. He also has brother
living here Coroner Julien was mott
fed Of Bresnahan's death and the body
was removed from the hospital to
Sherman's undertaking rooms, where
an inquest will be held, probably on
Monday.
