He was taken to St. Nincent's hospital and
placed under the care of DR.. J. O. Cobb Of
the United States Marine Hospital service.
He gradually recovered from his shock, but
his life previous to September, 1898, was a
total blank to him and at times his memory
was so shadowy that events Of a week past
faded out Of his recollection, Numerous at
tempts were made to diagnose his case, but
with the little history he could give no
definite results could be reached. At the

Man Who Recalls Himself Only When HypnOtized

Cf the events Of his early life and talked
freely, He said that in September, 1898,
his stcpfather had attempted to kill a
member of his family. He had seized the
gun which his stepfather held and called
to the other members of the family to
run for their lives. When asked to tell
the rest of the story he would only com
plain Of his head. When in a state Of
hypnosis he has an EXTREMITY sensitive place
On the right side Of his head and the least
touch there causes him intense pain. From
this it is concluded thai during his trouble
he received an injury from which he has
never recovered and which has blOtted out
Of his mind all memory Of his life previous
to that time. The trouble he says, hap
pened in Wisconsin, and inquiries have
been sent there to find whether or not the
story he relates is true, II 1t is true per-

sons may be found who were witnesses
to his accident, the nature Of his injury
may be learned and an operation performed
hat will restore his memory.
A second attempt was made to hypnotic
him, but with little success. At the least
interruption he would suddenly awaken
and demand to be taken back to the hos
pital. When hypnotized he thinks he is
back in the scenes Of his early life. When
in a normal condition he is perfectly con
scious and recognizes those around him
and can even relate fairly well his history
back to the time of his supposed injury.
This is a case OF peculiar interest, 1t
cannot be termed metempsychosis, for he
has never made an effort to in any way
change his identity. Whether hypnOtized
or not he gives his name as L. w. Hood.

sity Of Oregon in clinical medicine his case
was brought up. He was carefully cross
questioned by the class and a searching eX-
animation made. Their unanimous decision
was that he might have a slight conclusion
Of the brain, but that there were absolutely
no symptoms of any pressure and that his
lack of memory was due to general mental
failure.
The doctors in charge, however, believed
that if some means could be adopted to
learn his past history his case might be
diagnosed and perhaps his cure effected.
To this end Dr. Allen Gilbert, a well known
young physician, who has made a special
investigation of suggestive therapeutics,
was called in. At the first attempt Dr.. Gill
bert succeeded in getting the man under
control. While in the hypnotic condition

MECHANICAL VOWELS

A remarkable triumph in mechani
cal invention has just been achieved
by DR.. Marage, who has succeeded
in constructing a machine that can
utter plainly and distinctly the five
vowels-a, g, /, O, u.
Although many attempts have been

long we may expect to have ma.
chine that can really talk. .H
or course the monograph is not
talking machine. because it merely
gives off a record that has already
been made upon cylinder by an &C
tual human voice. Dr. Manages ma.
chine, however, creates the vowel
sounds at first hand.
This machine has been constructed
so as to reproduce the interior Jf
persons mouth while prOrOmcing the
different vowels, using the plastic sub
stance employed by dentists.
These false mouths, as it Were are
made of plaster of paris, and are fitted
to sirens giving the appropriate com
binations of sounds. DR.. Marage then
sets his machine operation and the
vowels are produced alphabetically.
Dr. Manage proposes to modify the
steam sirens used on shipboard so
that they will initiate the vowel
sounds. Thus different phonetic sylla-
bles may be obtained, which may be
used to form an international alpha
bet.
Another important application of
this synthetic process can pc made in
the construction OF ear trumpets that
