Sloepwallsers Who Had More Power in
 Trance Than in Normal State.
 Professor Pierre Janet, of the Paris sorbonne in Mccoy Hall of the Johns Hopkins University, recently delivered a lecture on Mind and Medicine" says the Baltimore News, and dealt with hysterla, particularly that form of somnambulism.
 q will ask you to consider one of hysteria which evidences itself m the most typical and characteristic symptoms of hysteria, and that is somnambulism, he said ITO under stand it well is, I believe, to under stand all hysterical phases that are more or less constructed on the same nfodel.
 eWhat is somnambulism? Popular a sonlnambulist is an individual who thinks and acts while he is asleep. That answers is not very clear, for we do not know very well what sleep is, You will find nowhere a more beauti- ful description of the popular idea or SOlnndlllUullSHl .lIliIl III olldhO- speare's tragedy of Macbeth Modern examples are much less dramatic, but you will let me cite a few which have come under my observation;
 There is a young woman, 29 years old whom I will call Gib She heard one day that her niece, who lived next door, had thrown herself out of the window, in a fit of delirium. She rush ed downstairs and was confronted with the sight of the body in the street, After the first shock she seemed to be but little moved, prepared the body for the funeral and was quiet and calm. But from that tins. on she grew more and more gloomy. Nearly every day now she enters into strange trance. She seems as if asleep and she speaks softly to her nice, calling her by name Pauline. She tells her that she admires her courage, that her death was a beautiful one. She rises, goes to the window, opens it and, if her friends did not stop her, she would undoubtedly throw herself into the tsreet.
 Another case, woman 35 years old, who was frightened by a lioness at the zoo. She was thrown in a de- lirium, which lasted eight days, and

THE PRESIDENTS ARTLEss HU
 xrnr

President Rooseyelt's ghotgun mes sage of thirty thousand words which was given to the press on December 5, is unintentionally enlivened by a sen tence or two of such extreme naivete as to make us wonder whether his sense of humor has altogether left him. In speaking of the decision of the su- preme court, rendered in 1884, to the effect that an income tax is unconstitu- tionaI, his excellency observes with much gravity and with a sapient air that would do credit to Dogberry him self:
 "The decision of the court was only reached by one majority. It is the law of the land, and of course is accepted as such and obeyed by all good clti- zens.'
 Here, as MT. Squeers remarked, is richness! The President is obviously surprised that wealthy citizens are not growing ominously because the court exemptel them from paying any in come tax. Doubtless he would think it natural that the anxiety of Mir Morgan and Mir. Rockefeller and MT Hartman to force their money upon an unwilling treasury might lead them to rebel. It is strange, indeed, that thousands of millionaires are not clamoring for the privilege of paying an income tax which the supreme court has decided that they need not pay. But it only goes t1 show that they are good citi- zens." However trv'n9 it is to their susceptibilities to Eeep their money in their own pockets, they are willing 10 do so since such is the law of the land. No doubt if a mob bf millionaires should descend upon Washington, la den with huge wads of money, and de- manding with all the earRestness of Coxey that the government accept their contributions, the President would be as firm as ever. To use the phrase of which he is so fond he would employ "the naval and military forces of the United States" to prevent them from carrying out their lawless pur- pose. It is reassuring to learn that our

means the Ardennes that is beside

means the Ardennes that is beside France
 And it is curious that, while Shakes peare was writing plays, Henry of Ma varre found it necessary to march a force to the capture of Sedan, within what was at that time the forest boun- diary.
 I was in Ardennes in the idyllic glory of early spring. A tender warmth was in the air, and the forest, after the long unresponsiveness Of winter, was with shy generosity giving promise of loving opulence to come The fields were piel with the earliest daisies, but tercups and vlolets painted the mead ows with delight, the first birds were singing and the trees were gently un- folding their first buds. It was the sweet and happy Arden of the sweet and happy comedy.
 Guidebooks and atlases use the term "Ardennes' with somewhat of una voidable vagueness. Originally this forest extended not only over a great part of Belgium, but stretched also into France and toward the eastward. Clumps of it's woodland still break the levels of Champagne, and there are re- mains of it in Luxembourg, and there are still great forest masses in central Belgium, dotted with cities and inter- sected by railways. But the present center of Ardennes is in the southern part pf Belgium, along the line of the Semois, and comprises wide area of hill, of river valley, of undulating pla- teau, of uplond heath. And it is this very part, isolated as it is, with which most of the great names that are con nected with the forest have had their association. Robert Shaeldeton in Scrib- ner's Magazine. .,-

But some have claimed that Shakespeare meant the Arden of England. Shakespeare seems to write, however, with the con- stant impatience that the forest is on the French border; he even portrays Rosalind and Celia as wearily walking to the forest, from their French home and his description of Duke Frederick leading his army to the skirts of the wood seems clearly to point out that he

officials. it was affirmed that confessed
bribe-takers, members of the board of

the United Railroads a franchise for an
overhead trolley franchise without the
use of the money which is alleged to have
been so lavishly distributed. James I,
Gallagher, former chairman of the board
Of supervisors, explicitly declared his be-
lief that the franchise could have been
secured without any attempt to Influence
the opinions of the members. Supervisor
Samuel Davis, the only other witness of
the day, reiterated this assurance on his
own account.
Gallagher occupied the stand during
four hours of tOday's session and every

Unusual Situation Developed by the
Death of the MacCOrmacs-
Both Left Wills.

New York, Sept. 25.-The will of Paul
MacCOrmac, the clubman and AUTOMOBILE
ist who died from injuries received in an
automibile accident recently near South
NorWalk, Conn, in which his wife was
killed, has been found in the safe Of A.
G. Starita, the former attorney for the
dead man. By the terms of the instru-
ment Mrs. MacCormac was made the sole
beneficiary. but her death brought about
an unusual situation.
Mrs. MacCormac in her will left the bulk
of her estate to her husband. She be-
queathed $4,000 to be invested in an an
nuity for Joseph Adler Converse, her IL
year-old son, by her first husband, from
whom she was divorced. Mrs. MacCOrmac
was killed on Aug. %. Her will was dated
Feb. 10 and in it she left her home In
Connecticut to her second husband and
made him trustee for her son, who is with
his father Charles Converse.
Mr.. MacCormac died soon after his wife.
His viii left all of his estate to his wife
without any stipulation as to its disposal
in case of her death. His estate is estE
mated at about 100000 most of it invested
in securities which are believed to be in
a safety deposit vault in this city. The

WI TING FANG
COMING BACK
Administration Making Wry
Faces Over Official An
n0unCement.

Washington, Sept 25.-Secretary Root to-
day received a cableSram from Minister
ROckhill at Picking notifying him of the
appointment of WI Ting Fang as minister
to Washington. While most nations take
some steps to ascertain the acceptability
of a minister, there is no actual require
ment on the subject and China's custom
has been to name it's representatives and
allow a nation to object if it cared to.
There is reason to believe that unof-
ficially some representations have been
made at the state department within the
last twenty-four hours, impeachng the
character of the proposed new minister,
not only on the ground of his conduct
stated Mr.. Wa Ting Fang took advan-
tage of an abnormal state of affairs in
Picking to secure his reappOintment to
this post. According to this account,
Prince Ching, who is really the titular
premier of the FIOwery Kingdom. is aging
rapidly and has lost interest in public
affairs. He does not even attend the cab
Quence his influence with the throne has
greatly diminished. Yuan Shin Kai. who
promises to succeed Ii Hung Chang as
the directing force in China, is practically
dominating the Kingdoms foreign rela-
tons. Sir Chentung Lang Cheng, the re-
firing minister to Washington, upon re-
turning to China, went first to visit his
relatives in Canton, in the south, instead
of to the Chinese capital. 1t is asserted
that had he been in Picking he would have
cast his powerful influence with Yuan
Shin kai, against WI Ting Fangs ap-
pOintment, having always expressed him
self as opposed to his methods.

The great majority of these larvae soon
died, but Professor de Lage, by constant
and minute care, has brought four Of the
urchins and two of the star fish through
the larvae stage, and they are now
healthy growing specimens.
