Max Carnaveaux, who gives exhibit
lions of his power in hypnotism, has
decided that in future he will be more
careful in the selection Of his SUBJ
jects for experiment. One of his fav-
orite tricks was to persuade the man
who submitted to him for test that he
was a mule, and great merriment al
ways followed the mulish antics of the
victim while he was under the hyp-
motto influence. But one day. down in
Lyndon. Kansas. Mr.. Carnaveaux. feel
ing unusually sprightly and jovial. pre-
sumed a little too far on the good ma
ture and geniality of the mule pro tenn,
and carried away by the strength of
hypnotic suggestion, the man under the
spell suddenly kicked out with great
violence II struck the hypnotist in
the hand, fracturing one of the bones.
For a few weeks, therefore, there have
been no hypnotic experiments of any
sort, and Mr.. CarnaveauX has made up
his mind to give up the mule trick and
rely on animals of more peaceable and
reliable dispositions. Youths Com

THE GEARY EXCLUSION ACT.

The a Francisco papers are pro-
nounced in favor of the renewal of the
Geary act, excluding the Chinese from
immigration into this country. On the
other hand, there is said to be a pow
erful lobby forming among Cinnamon
in this country and their friends, 10
prevent it's re-enactment. There can
not be much doubt that WI Ting-fang.
the Chinese minister at Washington,
is quietly backing the movement
against exclusion; and it is likely that
the friendship shown by the United
States to China in her deep distress
and Chinese gratitude therefor, togeth-
er with the enlarged trade relations
that may reasonably be expected to
grow out Of these new relations will be
pleaded as an argument against re-
newing the old barriers. or rearing any
new ones. But it is open to grave
doubt whether any of these things will
be accepted by the country as an off
set to the evil of a Chinese influx on
our west coast. If the Chinese abor-
Celestials as are needed in the in
creased commerce were allowed to
come, hat incoming would not be of
any particular Importance: but the
free Eruption of the heather Fan no
more be borne now than formerly. 1t
is tru that during President Cleve-
lands last term. but little attention
was paid to the exclusion laws; a mere
local and %perfunctory enforcement was
all that the country enjoyed. and many
Chinese were admitted at that time.
II Is also true that then as always the
Cinnamon exhibited a supernatural
guile in their ingenious inventions and
evasions to dodge the exclusion laws.
and this has been so effective that even
with h best energy directed to their
enforcement, a few Cinnamon were
bound to get in. We not. however, If
the matter of Chinaman. LII. recently
detained at the port of San Francisco,
can De taken as a falr sample. that the
present enforcement of the exclusion
law is rigid. The San Francisco point
specially pressed is hat with the lapse
Of the Geary law, the machinery and
oficialdom necessary for the enforce
ment Of the exclusion law that would
still be left, would be dropped. and the
law would become as useless and as
much Of a failure as the alien contract
law is on the Atlantic coast So we can
see that the friends of exclusion are
alert: that the reasons for exclusion
remain as fully as ever, and that no
mitigation of these reasons is found in
recent occurrences or friendly feeling.
Thus the Geary act will undoubtedly
be re-enacted, as it ought to be; it will
expire by its own limitations in May
next, and the fight on it's removal will
come in the next session of congress.

HOMEMADE BICYCLE LAMP.
How . ssa-Going Lad Compiled with
the Police Law.

the Police LAW.
In St. Nicholas George A. Williams
tells Of the achievement of "A Young
Inventor" who invented a bicycle
lamp. The subject of this sketch was
known around the docks of Shelter
island as Gable" He had just turned
fourteen. and a better sailor or fisher
man could not be found so young in
years. The training received under
his father, the captain of a thirty-foot
sloop, had made him an able m
Cabl had a fairly good wheel, pur-
chased with his own scanty savings
OF several years, and it is needless to
say that he was always ready for a
ride whenever the sloop lay at anchor
in the harbor. AS his work aboard
the vessel kept him busy during the
day, 1t was only in the evening that
he could go ashore. The law required
that all wheelmen should carry a lamp,
and Gable, being too poor to buy one,
was barred for a time from enjoying
his wheel. Instead, however, Of sit
ting down in despair. he went to work
and made a lamp that, in spite Of its
crudeness, answered every need. 1t
became known throughout the fishing
fleet as the Gable Perfect" warranted
never to go out. For the body Of the
lamp he used a baking-powder can.
Through the bottom Of the can he cut
a hole, into which he slipped the OIL
cup. made by fitting ar old lozenge-
bottle into a wedge-shaped piece Of
wood. The hole being smaller than
the plug prevented it from falling
through. The wick, made of several
pieces of string held together by bend
ing a small strip Of tin around them,
is wedsed in the neck of the bottle.
When it charred off. it became neces-
a to turn up the wick with a pin.
In the top Of the can he cut a hole for
ventilation, and one in the front to
answer the purpose of a lens, also a
small one in each side for s~ide-lights.
Over the opening used for the lens he
glued with flour paste a piece of red
muslin. This done, the lamp was COM
pleted and 500 wired to the front Of
the wheel. Then, mounting his wheel.
Cable rode swiftly through the dark
ness, safe from all interference Of the
law.
