The September runs of Pennsyl'
vania oil were the heaviest of the
year a d only few the usand bar
rels be ow e shipm ents so that
the de cline In stocks was not large.
The Lima oil stocks made heav-
der decrease, but the decline was
not nearly so great as during the
previous mouth. The net decrease
was at the rate OF about seven thou
sand barrels day. The new dis
coveties In the southwest that have
been interesting features of the
field developments are responsible
for a gain of nearly S 600 barrels
day In the output of Pennsylvania
oil.
There was a heavy decrease In
the pipe line stocks during August
consequent upon large increase In
the demand for both Pennsylvania
and Trenton Rock oils. At the
same time there was good sized
drop In the production of .Pennsyl.
vania and a small decline In the
output of Lima oil. AS foreshad
owed by the field report of new op'
erations the wells completed dur
Ing August were insufficient to
check the declining yield of the
older sections of the new oil fields.
The yield of Pennsylvania oil de
,clined over 5000 barrels day In
August, while the shipments In
creased at the rate of 5000 barrels
a day.

PATHOLOGICAL DREAMERS.
Peculiar Alterations of Conduct and
Tendencies 10 Fantastic
Exaggerations.

Students Of psychological medicine
will be particularly interested in some
recent cases OF pathological dreaming
which Prof. A, Dick, OF Prague, has
been studying. Psychologists have
long recognized a similarity between
dreams and the delusions OF the insane
or the waking delirium of the opium
eater, says a New York exchange.
One case occupying the attention of
Prof. Dick is that of a man, aged 43,
goldsmith, During the ten years of
his married life his wife has noticed
that he often, during the day and
night, spoke to himself. sometimes
softly and sometimes loudly. as though
he imagined himself TO be among his
fellow workmen. II spoken to he
ceased at once, but gave no explana-
tion except upon one occasion, when
he said that various thoughts came to
him against his will, which he had to
speak out, although he knew that it
was untrue.
Another case deals with clerk. aged
1s. who manifested peculiar aberra-
tions OF conduct in the form OF petty
embezzling and theft, and a tendency

ing reverles or dreams were some times

MEANING OF MANUSCRIPT.
Derivation OF the Term used to In
dicate Matter Written by
Hand

The singular and plural forms OF
the abbreviated word manuscript"
(MS. and MSS.) are the initials Of the
two Latin words manu- scriptum,
whence our word is derived. OF
course, says St. Nicholas, it means,
literally. written by hand. After the
introduction of printing. certain
books were spoken OF as codices Tor
libri impressi), printed books, to dis
tinguish them from codices manu-
script. Most Of the old and impor-
tant records found in manuscript and
preserved in libraries have been
copied and reproduced in print. so
that we need not trouble ourselves
to decipher crooked characters or
half-fnded writing. II Is, however,
interesting as well as very curious
to hold in ones hands the parchment
or half-decayed paper on which the
hand Of some great scholar. long
since dead, traced the story OF his
day, or wrote a poem which lives
even now. Would you not like to
own, for instance. the manuscript of
virgil's Aeneid, or OF Dante's "Divine
Comedy" written by their own
hands? You would be very rich
young person u you did; but, Of
course, the real originals Of the long
ago writer's are very difficult. in fact
impossible. to find. Probably they
do not exist, and certainly II they ex-
ist, no one knows where they are.
