The sleeper stopped short; the blood rosa
to her face and her lips quivered. Suddenly
she started singing softly:
Madame Veto await promis. 80"
The Carmagnolei
To- face of the medium now assumed
such wild expression, in contrast to her
soft monotonous voice, that some of the
guests became alarmed. She suddenly
stopped again.
One or two of the doctors present felt
the pulse of the medium, and tested the
nerve-sensitiveness by holding light 10
the eyes and pricking the arm with
needles.
Prof. Flournoy said that he had only
once succeeded in transmitting the infiu-
ence from Miss F. to another person by
contact of hands and that it might be pos
Sble for a hypnotic medium to follow The
working of her mind in this fashion. A
young specialist in nervous diseases volun-
teered TO make the experiment DR.. Flour
noy placed him exactly opposite Miss F.,
Joined the palms of their hands and gent
ly stroked the point of juncture. The blood
disappeared from the young doctors face
and his heart began TO heave. Then for
five minutes all was silence.
The following is a shorthand report
made by one of the reporters of what the
doctor said when commanded to speak.
His voice was hoarse and without express
sion as he said

The young Doctors voice suddenly be-
came a Shrek and the host sprang for
ward, demanding that the experiment
should stop. Prof. Flournoy obeyed, and
awoke the doctor and Miss f. simultane-
OuSly.

bewildered air.
A declaration was then written and
signed by all the guests, saying that no
scientific explanation could be furnished
of what they had seen and heard, but
that II could not be denied that 1t was
possible TO become in a certain manner
cognizant, through Blanche F., of certain
not extinct stages of human development
and of as yet unknown phases Of exist
ence.
Miss F. declines to appear in public, but
1t is possible that she may lend herself
to renewed experiments in the presence
of large number of scholars.
Meanwhile Mr.. H. G.. Wells must look
to his laurels.

Car died before the contract was sfgnel.
In 1887 Mr.. Barker obtained valuable con
cessions from China which were revoked
before they could be utilized.
Mr.. Barker became active in the discus
sion of social and public policy, and to aid
him in these discussions he estab lished the
Penn Monthly in 1870, and continued 1t
until 1881 In 1880 he established The
American, an enterprising weekly Journal
of literature and science, and continued
its publication until 1891. As a membe-
OF the Industrial League he has been in
huential in shaping the tariff legislation o;
Congress. In 1884 and 1888 he supported
Gen. Harrison for President He was
largely instrumental in the election of
Robert f. Pattison TO the governorship Of
Pennsylvania.
He was first to suggest commercial union
between the United States and Canada
and as early at 1881 suggested commercial
intercourse between the countries of the
American continent, since known as the
reciprocity treaties. He was the foundsr
OF the Investment Company of Philadel-
phia, capital 100000 and of the Finance
Company of Philadelphia, capital S, O00. 600
He holds quite a number of positions Of
honor and trust in his native city, and is
a man, as will be inferred from the fore
going, OF ability and influence.

18TH DISTRICT ENu,zERAToRs. "
Changes Made in Census Takers by
Supt. -4cI1erInan.


Dublin, Ca. May 1o-Yesterday Census
Supervisor Alex Alderman forwarded COM
missions as enumerators co the following
persons:
Daniel Lott Waycross, Ware county.
D. w. Carter. Screveu, Wayne county.
c. NJ Williams, Valdosta. Lowndes
county.
Alexander Larg, owens Ferry, Camden
county.
James NJ. Williams, Adlai, Brooks
county.
David C. Fender, Stockton, clnch
county.
r. A. Hendricks. Willaeoochee. Coffee
county.
E. H. Highsmith, Waynesville, Wayne
county.
Frank Scarlet, Henry c. Peerson and
Henry Canon, Brunswick, Glynn county.
Two of these men, Alexander Larg of
Owens Ferry and David c. Fender of
Stockton, were to fill original vacancies.
but the other nine were TO take the
place of persons removed by Director of
the Census Merriam.
Just why the men were removed, Su-
pervisor Alderman refused to state. He
also declined to give the names of the
persons removed. but by referring 10 enc
list of appointments furnished the press
by him some weeks ago and checking the
districts, the identity of the persons re-
moved were discovered. They are as fol-
lows: 3. w. Daniel, Wayne county; c..
B. Tyson, Clinch county; d. w. Afford,
Glynn county; Alexander Atkinson,
Glynn county; George B. Mabry, Wayne
county; o. d. Newton, Ware county;
IangdOn Howell, Lowndes county; George
W. Bennett, Brooks county; James G..
Carter, Glynn county.
All of the parties dismissed were ne
groes, except Mabry. This last named
person is a well known attorney and was
once solicitor general of the Brun swicqx
circuit. Four years ago he was again
candidate for solicitor general. but was
badly beaten by the present solicitor of
the Brunswick circuit Hon. John w. Ben
nett
Among the LOG enumerators for the
Eleventh district there are still five ne
groes left, as follows: John o. Daniel,
Glynn county; George f. Holzendorff.
Camden county; w. L. Lott, Coffee coun-
~; ]. r. Panlk, Irwin county; F. P.
johnson, Appling county.
1t is believed that Congressman w. G..
Brantley was instrumental in having the
negroes removed and white men appoint
ed in their places, though why he did
not make a clean sweep Of the entire
thirteen cannot be figured out, unless he
considered it good politics not to ask for
the removal of all the negroes for fear
of securing the dismissal of none.

more disagreeable than almost any other
spot on earth. The heat which is radiated
from the Rock Mountains here is unbear-
able, and in midsummer the vast sunken
pit is the home of the sand storm and
given over TO the elemental terrors.
Millions of years ago this region, in ala
probability, was covered with a forest
growth and was frequented by large and
powerful mastodons The valley offers
few inducements to any but the owners OF
boraX mines and gold, silver and copper
prospectors. 1t so happened that one Of
the latter entered the valley late during
the present season and wandered through
the mountains looking for treasures or
Signs, when he stumbled upon some curious
bones. Investigation showed that they
were merely the indications of others be-
meath the surface, which had not been
washed away, and a little work resulted in
uncover1ng some enormous tusks, which
could belong only to an animal of the ,ele-
phant family. Further Investigations show
ed that in some way three gigantic eie-
plants had died and been covered up here.
1t was Impossible 10 take them out with
out appliances. and as the prospector did
not wish to remain there. he adopted the
ingenious expedient of taking out a min
er's claim and having 1t filed with all duo
ceremony, bringing one of the tusks to Los
Angeles to exhibit.
The excavations made showed that tha
remains of three nIastodons were lying to-
gether undisturbed where they had fallen
ages ago. From the nature of the sur
roundings IL was evident that at one TINA
there had been a swamp there, and the as
sumption was that a herd of mastodona
had wandered into the slough and had be-
come mired. The fact that three skeletons
were lying side by side showed habit
well known among elephants to-day-whe1
in fear they rush together and stand Ia
groups.
These American old-time elephants may
have been driven into the swamp by hui
man enemies, or they may have strolled
into the swamp TO drink, sinking into the
quicksand or mud, which in all countries
has proved the graveyard of so many an
imals. Thus the great elk is found bog
ged in the Irish swamps The Big Bona
Lick Is famous for The remains of animals
caught in the treacherous mud; and when
ever a mastodon SHELTON is discovered it
generally turns out that ii was trapped
either in the quicksand of a stream or in
a bog The three mastadons thus staked
out will soon be taken out, bone by bone,
and mounted; and if they prove to be per-
feet will be as valuable as good big mug
get.

EARTHWORM LORE.
The Habits of an Humble Friend of
Man.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
For good many years have been on
friendly terms with the red-blooded gar
den worms, the Lumbricus terrestric of
biologists, and l assure you that they are
worthy of better acquaintance on the
part of your readers. Here, in the bor-
ough of the Bronx, they have possession
of the lands in numbers vastly exceeding
its human inhabitants. Two hundred
millions would be a moderate estimate of
the number of these friends OF man in my
entitled 10 more than passing mention.
Earthworms belong to the order of Oil
gochaeta, the name meaning that they
have only a few hairs or spines; for al
though the earthworm to the eve seems
to be nothing more than a naked intesti-
nal canal II really has the rudiments of
feet which, when resracted, give II a
powerful grip on the walls of Its home
At this season OF the year the lumbri-
cidae, like the bears, are alternating
foot or more underground; but when the
warmth of the high mounting April and
May sun reaches them they will wake
up and bore their way to the surface to
enable them TO breathe freely. For al
though the earthworm has no lungs lis
red blood is oxygenated through the pores
OF It's skin. When the sun beats down
with a TOO great fervor on the tagged
sidewalks they are compelled to come out
and migrate in great numbers at which
time millions perish before they reach a
congenial spot at which again to set up
their lares and penates
The earthworm has no marine or aduat-
&c qualities; 1t Is absolutely terrecolous,
