METHODS,
Tie Influenced Patients by SugEes-
ton. but Hid Real Power.

Mesmer published in 1913 his ac-
rount of the marvellous cures effected
by what he was pleased TO term an
imal magnetism. When in 11TS he
came to Paris he came with a well de-
veloped sense of the value of advertis-
ing. The campaign he inaugurated was
of a character to disgust the conserva-
tive and thoughtful, but to take a SEN
sation loving populace by storm. Most
ex%travagant tales of ures he had ac-
complished in Berlin. Vienna and else
where were noised abroad. Through
a convert he challenged the physicians
of Paris to enter into a contest with
him, they to treat twelve patients by
the orthodox methods, he to treat
twelve by his. OF curse this challenge
was rejected, and equally Of curse
its rejection was interpreted Ivy the
thoughtless as an acknowledgment of
the superiority of Mesmer's treatment.
His rooms were thronged. His purse
waXed constantly heavier.
The treatment he ave vas such as
to appeal wildly to the Imagination of
the patient-in a word, to increase his
suggestibility. Suggestion. indeed, was
its root element, although Mesmer fail
ed or pretended to fail to recognize this
and taught that its efficacy depended
upon the effluence of a mysterious
fluid. In a room dimly lighted and
hung with mirrors the patients were
seated about a circular vat of con
siderable size covered with a lid and
containing various chemicals. A long
cord connected the patients with one
another, while in the lid of the tub
were several holes, through each Of
which passed IN iron rod bent in such
a way that its point could be applied
to any part of a patients body. The
patients were requested not to speak.
the only sound in the room being
strains of soft music. When eXpectan-
cy was at its flood Mesmer would en-
ter clad in the robe of a magician and
carrying IN iron wand. At one patient
he would gaze i%ntently, and another be
would stroke gently with his wand.
Soon some would burst into laughter,
others into tears, while still others
would fall into commissions, finally
passing into a lethargic state, out of
which, it is claimed, they emerged
cured or on the highroad to a cure.
Occasionally the treatment was given
outdoors, a tree being 'magnetized'
and the patient collapsing in ii swoon
so soon as he approached it.-Apple-
tons Magazine.

One Book Authors.

Robert Burton, the author of "The
Anatomy Of Melancholy" may claim
this honor: His book has stood the test
of time as few books have, Professor
Saintsbury writes that "all fit readers
of English literature have loved him"
Lamb praises the fantastic great old
man" and, indeed, borrowed from him
many a choice phrase. Among other
remarkable lone book authors may
be mentioned Sir Thomas Mallory,
whose famous collection of Arthurian
romances is one of the imperishable
treasures of the English tongue; Rich
ard Hooker, whose Laws of Ecclesi-
astical Polity" is still a standard book
on the constitution of the Church of
England, and Gilbert White, whose i'm
mortal Natural History of ~Selbourne"
is still read with pleasure and profit.

The Successful Ad. Writer.

Advertising requires versatility Of a
high order. To win success in this field
a man must not only be able to com
accuracy of fact, but unless lie is a
specialist in a certain line, taking up
advertising commissions at intervals,
he must he ready to cope with subjects
of the most diverse character. Today
he studies the methods of making ci-
CARS and the many different kinds of
tobacco that enter therein; tomorrow
he writes Il monograph IN enameled
tin cans, investigating the processes of
making them in the factory, and the
day after that his topic may be break
fast foods, taking him into inVestiga-
tons of starch, gluten, digestive func-
tons, diet and health and setting him
upon a weary hunt for synonyms to
describe the rich nutty flavor" that all
breakfast foods are said to have. All
the illustrative work of an advertising
artist must be so true to detail that it
will pass the eyes of men who spend
their lives making the things he pic
lures. 1t was the manufacturer of a
widely advertised speciality who, diff
ficult to please in circulars, looked over
the manuscript submitted by an ad-
vertising free lance with more approval
than was his custom. This is not
bad" he commented; mot bad at all
and yeti have seen all these words
used before."-J. II. Collins in Atlantic.

Another Railroad for Vermont

1t is gratifying to note the zeal and
earnestness which are characterizing the
moving spirits in the project to connect
Montpelier and Rutland by rail. The
men behind this proposition are going
about their work in a practical and bust
ness-like way which will do more to en-
sure its success than any amount of ear
storming that could be perpetrated on a
patient and longsuffering public. They
are making it possible for every person
interested to give evidence of the faith
in the project that is in him, at the very
outset and to do something that will
hasten the contamination of the under
taking. The opening of subscription
books in Rutland and at the State capital
affords every public-spirited citizen an
opportunity to take hold and push, and
push is the one thing that will insure a
cross-state railroad.
AS we have frequently asserted, there
is no danger that Vermont viii! have too
many railroads. Transportation facilities
have been the making of many a city,
and so many railroad towns in the west
have so emphatically demonstrated and,
while the object lesson is not so conspi-
cuous in farming regions, the benefits en-
joyed are proportionate to the density of
population.
There are good grounds for belief that
a railroad constituting a link in a direct
route from the granite center of Yer
mont to the American metropolis with
its innumerable arteries of trade and
commerce, would be profitable, and that
the construction of such a railway line
would be a good investment for all con-
cerned, particularly for its terminal
towns and tributary territory Free

HQU
Their Causes, Their Frequency and
Their Two Great Belts.

The1r Causes, Their Frequency and
Their Two Great Belts.
There is never a day on which some
part of the earth is not shaken, and it
is probable that not even an hour ever
passes without some kind of an earth
quake in some part of the earth. The
truth of this statement may be in
ferred from the fact that in Japan
alone 1881 earthquakes were recorded
between the years 1885 and 1899. The
great majerity of these shocks are ire
mors detected only by instruments or.
If noticed by man, of such slight in
tensity as to cause no alarm. Many.
however, are sufficiently strong to en-
danger life and property. and there is
every gradacon between the tremors
which only delicate instruments detect
and the earthquake which de~vastates
a great city
Causes for jars in the earth are many
and of different kinds. The falling in
of the roofs of caverns has beer known
to cause earthquakes. and landslides
have caused others. These, however,
are minor causes, and the resulting
shocks are of slight Importance. A far
more potent cause for earthquakes is
volcanic action.
There are two great belts on the
earth in which either volcanoes are ac-
tive or mountains are growing or in
which the two phenomena are asso-
ciated. These two belts follow great
circles. One of these passes through
the West Indies, the Mediterranean
sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya mou
tains and is called by De Montessus
the Mediterranean or Alpine-Caucasus-
! Himalayan belt. In this belt 90 per
cent of all recorded earthquakes have
occurred. The second belt nearly en-
circles the Pacific, following the Andes,
the mountains of western North Amer
lea. the Aleutian islands, Japan and the
Philippines. This De MOntessus calls
the circum-Pacifc or Andes-Japanese-
Malayan belt. In this belt have occur
erd Al per cent of all recorded earth
quakes. In all the rest of the world
the recorded earthquakes equal only Z
per cent of the total number.
Those whose homes are outside the
two belts of frequent earthquakes are
not absolutely immune from disturb
ance, rs is proved by the earthquake
at Charleston in 1886 and at New Mad
rid in 1872. But in those parts of the
globe earthquakes are not common
They occur in widely scattered local.
! ties at rare intervals and are not con
monty of great destructiveness. In the
belts of frequent earthquakes, on the
other hand, shocks may occur in many
places at frequent intervals and occa.
s~ionally with great violence. San
Francisco and Santiago, for example
are situated on danger lines in the
earth's crust, as are many other places
in the two great earthquake belts

The birth of Il huge iceberg, a phe-
that has been seen only once
or twice by a European and to a GER
tain extent has remained a matter of
theory, was observed by the Danish
explorers on the east coast of Green
land some time since. The bergs are
formed by breaking off from the end
of glaciers extending from the perpet-
ual ice of the unexplored interior to
the coast and into the sea. The water
buoys up the sea end of the glacier
until it breaks by its own weight with
a terrific crash. The commotion of the
water as the iceberg turns over and
over in the effort to attain its balance
Is felt to Il great distance along the
coast. The natives regard it as. the
work of evil spirits and believe that to
look upon the glacier in its throes is
