An hour after midnight an immense
step ladder, mounted on wheels, is
pulled into the waiting room and a long

meet with the reservoir of compressed

does the rest.

mental traits increase. They are never
able to hold any business position any
length. of time, being incapable Of
working continuously or giving satis-
faction to the most kind-hearted en-
ployer. After being discharged by
every employer, and being very deserv-
edly despised by society, they naturally
drift into the ranks of the feeble-mind-
ed anarchists and are easily worked
upon to do the bidding or follow the
suggestions of the stronger intellects.
TO kill ruler to avenge the sup
posed injuries of society is the SIM
plest sort of a mental conception. Sane
as individuals, mankind in large num-
bers is more or less hysterical,
and always markedly suggestible when
the individuality is swallowed up in
the mass. Mental epidemics have al
ways been common, and the only diff
ference between them mas been in the
subject of the mental delusion that
has shown itself as a mental epidem-
ic. In the time of the Crusades, for
two centuries people were drawn by

the 18th and 10th centuries men went
wild over their belief in witchcraft
In 1884 the Dutch developed a craze
for buying and specializing in tulips.
In 1920 the famous South Sea bubble
became a popular financial craze
These and many others are types OF
hysteria of man as a mass, not as an
individual.

can anarchist, therefore, resembles
and yet differs from the criminal and
the lunatic. Undoubtedly, he belongs
to the borderland of cases of mental
abnormality, where the 'neuropath'
and psychopath,' which are the scien-
tific words for nervous and mental
wrecks, take their positions.
What to do with him is a different
proposition, and one of the most diff
cult questions of the day. To prevent
the mental contagion, the passing Of
the dangerous suggestion segregation
and breaking up their headquarters
form the only remedy. AS an individ-
ual, the anarchist is comparatively
harmless; as a class, he is the most

The psychology of animals is sub
ject which seems to be progressing
rapidly, says The London Graphic. Not
long since society in Paris for the
investigation of the soul of animals"
made the great discovery that lions
were greedy and monkeys vain. Moro
recently a savant, after many expert
ments at the geological gardens, elic-
tied proof of the high aesthetic ca
pacities of the feline tribe. A tiger
purred and smiled over piece of wool
dipped in lavender water, and a lion
hit his consort on the side of the head
when she approached his bottle of eau
de cologne. Another professor has now
shown that animals are at least as
subject to hypnotic influence as men.
Lobsters for instance when stood ON
their head for five or ten minutes, be-
come so thoroughly hypnotized that
jogging did not awaken them"
Guinea pigs are equally susceptible,
If care is taken to avoid making a
sqeaky noise. 1t is curious that in
this investigation into animal psy-
chology scientific appliances are not
more used. The phonograph would
be of inestimable value in the hands
of an experimenter in finding out the
language and might be almost as use
full as gazing hypnotically at croco-
diles" or spinning guinea pigs like
a top"
