NEW YORK, May BAT his own re
quest Dir Paul H. Collins, of 40s Central
Park West is now undergoing treatment
at Bellevue hospital for the strangest
malady, or whatever it might be called,
that the physicians at that institution
have ever had to deal with.
He believes that he can hypnotize him
self.
For long he has delved into the mysteries
of hypnotism. and it is believed that his
mind has become so imbued with the sub
ject as to result in most singular i'm
palrment. ...... .'-..-
On other subjects the unfortunate phys-
clan is perfectly rational. Physically his
condition is good He seems to realize
that his self-hypnosis is a weird delusion
a nightmare of disordered mind, but try
as he will, SO far he has been utterly un
able to rid himself of it,
For year it has haunted him night aud
day. 'The end can only be death he

dread thought is with him ever.
DIR. Parker head of the psychopathic
ward, is unable to state what will be the
ultimate result of this strange case The
alienist does not believe self-hypnosis pos

To your correspondent he said: "There
is no authenticated record of such thing.
II is a remarkable delusion, more remark
able in the fact that on other subjects
Dr. Collins can converse sanely. even bril-
liantly. As for his intense fear of death
any one would have that who carried con

that his certain fate was to be buried

When DIR. Collins went to the hospital
he astonished DIR. Parker by exclaiming
Il am a doctor. like yourself. and | want
you to thoroughly examine me and tell me
whether | am going crazy.
What seems to be the troube?" asked
DR. Parker.
And then came the story that reminds
one some of Jellyl and Hyde DR.. Collins
told how he had studied deeply into the
art of hypnotism and had attained remark
able success in its practice. He went on:

Government Control of Wireless TeIee
raphy.

The United States government is about
to assume control, through the navy de-
partment, of all the wireless telegraph
stations on the coasts, as well as on
the coasts of all territory belonging to
this country. The navy department it
self has already established % stations,
lG on the Atlantic coast, three on the
Pacific coast and two each in our pos
sessions in the West Indies and the Pa
chc ocean. OF these, the most import
ant at least to home people. is that at
the South Shoal lightship, off the Mas
sachusetts coast, as it is the one which
should receive the first fash from in
coming European steamers and the last
word to and from outgoing vessels from
New York.
Besides these % stations the govern
ment will take over the private sta
tons now in operation. All will be placed
at the disposal of the general public in
time of peace, newspapers, shipping
agencies telegraph companies, etc, the
matter received by them without charge,
but without any responsibility on the
part of the government.
The value of this arrangement in case
| of war Is obvious. Every station would
| be in our hands and all delays possible
under private ownership would be avoid
ed. The public in peace times will derive
great advantage from the system.
