Colossal Monument.

The most colossal monument on tha continent of Europe and second alone in dimensions to the Liberty statue in New York, is that of the fabulous Tl- rull bird recently erected on the sum. nit of the Banhida mountain in Coun- ty Komorn, Hungary, in commemora- tion of the Hungarian millennium. which was celebrated with 8 stupen- dous amount of patriotic influence in 1S96 in all portions of the kingdom. The site is well chosen, seeing that the monument occupies the spot where Ar pad slew Swatopluk. the Slavic chief tain. on his invasion of the Hungary of today. It was mainly due to the exer- tions of tie famous Magyar romancer, Jokal Nor, that the collection fer the monument was started. This bird, fa- ble has it, has played an extraordinary part in the destinies of the nation. so that the poorest moved to enthusiasm by the eloquence of the popular poet, contributed the copper he could i'll af- fordsto spare to the general fund. The conception of the monument is that of the Magyar sculptor. Donath Gyula, the metals used being copper and iron. The height from the claw to the tip of the wing is sixty-eight feet, the out spread wings are forty-six feet long. and the sword of Arpad. which the monster bird holds ia its claws, meas- ures forty feet

Five months after about an inch and half of the sciatie nerve of q young bloodhound was attached to the end of the medien nerve and q similar operation performed upon the ulnar nerve. In three months sensj- bllity was almost complete throughout the hand. In the American Journal of Medical Science twenty.cases of nerve transplantation are reported.

PROF. BLANDFORD
Made Demonstrations to Psychic Socie-
ty Last Night.

The Psychic society of this city was en-
tertadned last night with lecture by Pro-
fessor Henri C. Blandford, the renowned
! psychologist and hypnotist.
Professor Blandford is a native-born Eng
lishman, and is prominently con-
nected with all the leading psy-
Geological societies in Europe and
America. He came here on an invitation
from the Birmingham society of scientists,
and his discourse last night was intensely
| interesting from a scientific standpoint,
showing him to be a man of great study
and thought.
In the outset he stated that he would not
attempt any extraordinary phenomena for
the mere amusement of those present, as
is usual with the stage hypnotist, but would
deal with this subject on purely scientific
principles. He spent most of the time in
showing the power of concentration over
the analytical mind, and explained to those
servient to the will before a perfect hyp-
motto state could be gained
About twenty members of the society
were present, and they became so highly
interested in Professor Blandfords lecture
that he has been requested to remain in
Birmingham a week, which he will likely
do,
1t will be remembered that a year or so
ago when Flanagan, the noted Atlanta
murderer became so wild that he could not
be controlled, Professor Blandford was the
man who finally succeeded in quieting him
after all other efforts towards this end had
proven to be Intellectual.
Flanagan had become insane on the idea
that he was going to be mobbed and his
pitiable rawlings could not be stopped Fear
ing he would die in his cell, everything was
done to quiet his unstrung nerves. Professor
Blandford, who at that time was conduct
ing the School of Psychology and Suggest
i've Therapeutics in Atlanta, at the solicit
tation Of his friends, decided to go to see
the noted criminal, and as a result of his
visit Flanagan was quieted down and put
into an hypnotic sleep. On awakening his
mind had become balanced so that the jailer
could control him.
