Efforts OF a rather well-known scien-
tist TO show an affinity between SOM
nambulism and hypnotism are not meet
ing with much encouragement. He holds
that somnam mbulism Is a modified hyp-
nosis and urges that sieep-walkers. so
called, have no more memory OF their
somnambulistic deeds than subjects un-
der the influence OF hypnotism.
But in opposition 10 his arguments
cases have been adduced where the
slcc7-walkers were able TO give after
waking fairly accurate accounts OF their
experiences and sensations. so this. II
is contended, shows conclusively that
somnambulism and hvpnotism are two en-
tirely distinct conditions.
The discussion reminds the writer OF
an experience which an Edinburgh

"The Mormon Prophet"


''The Mormon Prophet Lily DougaM
12mo. AT PIP. D. Appleton & Co., New
York.
Miss Dougall has written voluminously,
yet not without a certain romantic inter-
est, of an as yet more or less PROB
lematio element in American life and
an epoch In American history that is
yet unfinished. and to say that her mar
rative of the sad days Of Susannah is
insidious In it's teachings would be
rash Characterization It Is true that
she holds up Joseph Smith In a much
better light than more prosaic histor-
ians do, yet he Is far from a saint, in
Miss Dougall's later pages.
The young Susannah starts with the
Mormon church in its early days at
Manchester. N. Y. She deserts under
quite thrilling circumstances during the
palmy days of the new city of Nauvoo.
The picture of her escape, and the mar
ratiVe of the massacre at Gallatin are
the most fanciful perhaps, yet the most
stirring pages of her book They are
exciting, not alone of interest, but of
passion. The sufferings of Susannah are
kept we'll in front throughout. The love
story Of Ephraim Groom only serves to
give q pleasant remembrance to the
closing pages of a narrative written
largely in gloomier colors, although it
helps perhaps. at times TO keep the
reader interest through SOME OL lilo
more tedious pages of dogmatic afgu-
ment.
Miss DougaI has stuck closely to well
authenticated historical facts for her
main purpose, although she puts into the
mouth of Smith denial of the charge
that he got the book Of Mormon from
Rigdon, and makes him say that he never
met Rigdon till after his removal to Kirt-
land. Miss Dougal strongly defends the
organization of the Danites during the
troublous times in Missouri, but she may
be suspected of less interest in giving a
true picture of Mormon life than of Civ
ing. Joseph Smith the center of her ro-
mantle stage. when she withholds the
presence of Brigham Young to her last
chapter and then only on his usurpation
of Smiths prophetic place That a pic
ture of Mormon life in Kirkland, and
Nauvoo especially. should have been
drawn with Smith in such high light
and Young so discreetly held in the back
ground is at variance with supposedly re-
liable biographers and historians. The
gradual way by which Smith came up to
his revelation of polygamy also smacks
ofthe license of the novelist rather than
of one whose aim is TO correct misconcep-
tons of fact
