CAN ANIMALS BE HYPNOTIzEDs

An article in the news columns Of the
Journal a day or two ago stated that the
city bacteriologist OF Milwaukee possessed
hypnotic power over animals to an extent
that enabled him to perform vivisection
without the use Of anesthetics. 1t was
stated that by gazing steadily into the
eyes Of rabbit or other small animal and
making few rapid passes he could throw
1t into kind of trance in which it would
lose consciousness and sensation, and that
by few passes he could restore it again
TO a normal condition. One may be per-
mitted to doubt the truth of the statement.
We all know that human beings can be
hypnotized. and 1t is natural to ask If
human beings can be brought under the

sess a peculiar power over animals. some
being able to handle snakes with impunity,
others bees. etc. The power which famous
horse tanners have exercised over the Wild
est and most vicious animals is at least as
remarkable as hypnotism. There is one
thing, however, that makes against ami
NAL hypnotism. and that is the theory that
hypnotic influence comes less from the
operator than from the person operated on.
or In other words. that II is mainly due TO
intense concentration Of thought by the
person operated on. This would argue un-
usual power OF mental abstraction. One
writer says: THE strong-minded person

vigorous resistance. makes a iudicrous mis-
statement. It Is not So-and-so who is to

The treasure seekers searched twenty
islands, and then the originator OF the
scheme confessed that he was ignorant OF
the locality OF the treasure island"
Previous attempts TO find the buried
millions have been numerous. In November.

expedition In III M. S. Imperieuse. The
admiral was introduced at Victoria. b. c.,

The first was deposited about the year 1871
by British ship which had become a pirate
vessel. History gathered from official
sources records the capture and trial OF the
pirates, the execution Of the leaders. and
was very carefully hidden. but no data ex-
listed to show its locality. and endeavors

NOVELS AND cryrLIzArroN.

The declaration of John Cotton Dana be-
fore the Indiana Library Association that
he believed novels were good for the people
will hardly cause revival of the old con-
troversy on this subject. Whether they are
good for the people or not II Is quite evident
that the people like them, buy them and
read them in ever-increasing numbers. The
as on the book itself On one man or woman
a good novel has a remarkable educational
effect. while on another the same novel will
make no more impression than the passing
entertainment of an idle hour. To one a
problem" novel will bring notions and de-
sires that had better never been born, while
to another it will bring only the disgust
that denies 1t a hearing after the first few
pages have been read. To a very large num-
Der Of people the novel stands in about the
does to the oil painting. Their limitations
prevent them from having the real thing,
and the substitute, whether 1t be the chrome
or the historical novel. poor imitation
though 1t be, is, after all, step in the d.
rection Of civilization and knowledge.
1t is impossible to compute the civilizing
effect novels have had and are having on
the American people. OF course, there is an
immense amount Of poor and mediocre flc-
ton published. but, taken by and large, the
bulk Of the sales and of the circulation Of
fiction from libraries ranges from a me-
dunn quality to the very best Women are
the great readers Of fiction. and. as q general
thing, they are prone to study the manners
and to some extent to absorb the ideals OF
the heroes and heroines portrayed. Uncon-
sciously they get and retain something of
the historical and literary illusions Of the
authors. In turn these little touches of
civilization enter almost imperceptibly into
the training of children and the cultivation
of their manners and ideals.
