Hunger and Ideas.

If you wish to increase your imagi- native powers, says n scientist, go with out food. Abstinence from food till tho bangs of hunger make themselves dis tinctly felt will quicken your mental powers and stimulate the flow of ideas. such Ideas being of n kind that agree with the regular bent of your mind.
 This seems to offer good prospects not only to literary men, but also to ma chine makers and all those who are on the watch for some Improvement or in- ventlon that will revolutionizc some in- dustry. But you must be careful or you will overio it. Prolonged fasting. according 10 the same authority, ere ntes desire to commit some horrible crime, makes you wild and cruel. The prolonged faster becomes prey to hai- lucinatlons. Is unable to sleep and likely to go mad. In short. abstinence from food for long periods-and Hong peril ods" Is n term that varies with the inc dividual-lnduces the same effects as drunkenness.
