IMAGINATION.
Instances showing How II Has Made
Well Men Sick.

~ vi lANA DA'H~s
The domination Of Imagination over
the normal exercise Of the faculties Is
no new idea. Samuel Rogers suffered
from a violent cold from the effects Of
what he believed to be an open win
dow at his back, which IN reality was
closed. An instance OF this known to
the medical faculty is more strange
stu. Two men stayed at n house In
which an inmate had died OF cholera.
One man placed in the room In which
the patient had died was In ignorance
Of what had occurred. He slept we'll
and was no worse. The other, wrong
ly told that the room In which he slept
was that in which the cholera patient
had died, spent a night Of mental
agony and In the morning was actual
ly found TO be suffering from this COM
plant. fIe died Of cholera.
A similar instance was mentioned
the other day by a fiSnd Of the writ
er. Two London men stayed in the
country at n house where scarlet fever
was reported. One, an unimaginative,
healthy minded fellow, awolJe all right
in the morning. The other, a nervous,
sensitive man, was very ill-had not
slept and had broken out into a terri
bic rash which both declared to be
scarlet fever. A wire to a London
medical man was dispatched, and by
the first train he hurried down. The
supposed fever patient proved to have
no fever at all beyond an imaginary
one. AS fact, there was no scarlet
fever in the house, the case had been
wrongly diagnosed, and the frightened
visitor had tortured himself into vio-
lent rash, all without cause.-St. James

One of the most interesting portions of

means Of preserving and transporting
them from the field to the laboratory. He
showed photographs of the bones and
restored skeletons OF some of the dino,

the largest one known to science, a bron

must have weighed in life about sixty
tons; he had neck thirty feet in length
and a tail perhaps feet. His ribs are
about 9 feet and the cavity of his body
with the lungs and entrails out would
make a hall thirty-four by sixteen,
and aTGheU over rrobably twelve feet IN
