the practical results which the students
Of the Columbia Scientific Academy OBTAIN
from the various courses OF inst ruction the
advertising matter OF the institution nils
the void. BY way Of showing what the
course in personal magnetism will do Tor
one the academy has issued pamphlet
in which there is picture Of young woman
surrounded by q whole bevy Of young men,
A short distance away is another young
woman with not a man near her.
The first young woman is pictured in the
act OF throwing on electric sparks. the art
Of which she presumably learned in taking
the academy's course en- personal mag
netism. The other maid can't throw
spark. Moral; II YOU'RE a young woman
and want q train Of admirers become a
student OF the academy and learn to emit
sparks.
To show how nicely the KMagi end OF
the Columbia Scientific Academy dove
tails with the banking end and how har-
moniously finance and the occult may be
blended the litterateur Of the institution
has Just let himself loose in one OF the
pamphlets. Here's what he says:
IF you have not tho money. II viii pay you

TO borrow as long as you live. The very fnct
that your means =, are at 5ses sSa, wow need
knowledge OF the sciences which We teach,
And IL you can't get what you need out
OF any Of the other courses, there II the
course In hypnotism to fall back on Hardly
anything Is impossible when you have
chinery. A man named Mcintyre runs
this end OF the game. Mr.. Neal was unkind
enough TO say yesterday that Mr. Mcintyre
sis only an incident OF the academy All
the same. he . the inventor OF the 'suggesti-
phone and the hypnotic bali and the
SECULAR fatigue producer. A man who
can invent such devices ought surely to be
more than an incident Of any institution.
For ms snce, with the sugg,s Up lone'
you can have sll your teeth yanked out
and feel no pain, either during the operation
or afterward All you have to do is take
a seat in the dentists chair, place the re.
c-ivers OF the machine to your ears and
let somebody tell you through the trans
mitter that il doesn't hurt and you'll think
you're drinking Scotch highballs: When
the lob is over. let the chap on the other
end tell you that you don't feel any pain
and you can get up and eat chuck steak
with toothless gums.
And with the hypnotic BALI taccordihg

sweetheart follow him TO the end OF the
world. The Earl Of Yarmouth might have
found the hypnotic ball useful. IL
might even be tried on an obdurate mother
in-law.
