Buried Alive.

This being the time of year when ia
kris are busy "burying people alive at
country fairs and city resorts, the fol-
lowing comments by DR.. Woods Hutch
inson in the October American Maya
zine are of unusual interest.
Some of the trance-like conditions
into which individuals fall and lie for
dayc or weeks have been studied and
have been found to fbe frauds. The
Subjects are surreptitiously supplied
with food and drink by their attend
ants or family. The same is true of the
alleged power possessed by Hindu ia
kris and escetics of all ages, of going
into states of trance lin which they will
allow themselves to be buried alive
and dug up again and revived after
several months have elapsed. In one
instance ON record an individual of
this class allowed himself ito be buried
alive and his grave watched by
guard of English soldiers, and was dug
up at the end of the time, exceedingly
dead In another, the English officer
in charge became alarmed on the third
day, and had the fakir tresurrected,'
when he was found still alive. A
reed or bamboo at one corner of the
grave to supply air would explain all
these cases. The whole subject is in
voived in such an atmosphere of mys-
| terry and .fakery' that it is impossible
| to attach serious weight to THE claims
made
Most of the claims, both Occidental
and Oriental, to the power of existing
| for indefinite periods i'm this trance
| like sleep seem to rest simply upon
the well-knoWn power possessed by
many weak-minded individuals, of
| throwing themselves by auto-sugges-
ton into a hypnotic sleep. In this con-
dition, or awake, life can, of course, be
easily supported for many days, or
even weeks, without food, as has been
often illustrated by the feats of pro-
fessional fasters who easily reach forty
and even sixty days. 1t is, however, a
significant fact that none of these
sleeps can be carried on in a hospital
where the patient is under observation
of competent and unSympathetic
| nurses. For, altho food can be done
without, water cannot, and these sleep
ers will invariably be found resorting
to the water bottle and responding to
the calls of nature within twenty four
hours. In their own homes, where
they can help themselves surreptitious-
ly to the water on the washstand, they
may keep up the farce for weeks with
out detection. All tsleepers' investigated.
by physicians are found to take wa
ter regularly. and often food, and are
usually cases of hysteria or mild in

LEAD IN WATER TURBINE WORK.
Swiss the First to Develop Long Dis

however, are for the most part, made
in America.
The country has an enormous
amount Of water power, however, and
in its development the Swiss have
gained prominence in the water tur-
bine work throughout the world, one
firm being called upon to design the
original water turbine which was in
stalled at Niagara falls. Hand-in-
hand with this turbine development,
practically the superlative in electrical
engineering has been attained, and to-
day Swiss machinery is being sent to
all parts of the world.
The Swiss are able to maintain their
position only through their superior
technical knowledge, for which they
are indebted to their engineering in
stitutions. In their vast experience
they lay claim to being the first to de-
velop the transmission of electrical
power over long distances, and it is
believed that before long all the Swiss
state railways will be working under
electrical power.

Samos as a Birthplace.

Samos, the autonomous Greek
island under Turkish suzerainty,
which has once more been the scene
of trouble, is one of the few lucky re-
gions on earth that have no national
debt. 1t is also one of the few places
in that part Of the world at which
Homer was not born. But as birth
place Samos nevertheless ranks high.
AS the home of the first triremes it
was the originator Of sea power.
Thence came the first bold Greek mar
iner who sailed out through the
Straits Of Gibraltar into the Atlantic
Above all, it was the birthplace of
Pythagoras, of whom Samos is very
proud to this day. It's great college,
the Pythagoreum, is attended by pu-
pills from Crete and other islands, and
has been called by a Samian writer
"a lighthouse, spreading its light far
and wide in the Levant."

IN FOOTSTEPS OF THE GREAT.
Kindly Encouragement for Young Men
Working Their Way.

Two young college men were indus
triously spending their summer vaca-
tion in the testing room of large
electric manufacturing works, where
they were able to supplement their
studies at the technical school by prac-
tical application and experience. The
July afternoons were long, and the
work at times very slack, so in >one
of these intervals of half-idleness the
young men determined to turn to and
give the laboratory in which they
worked a thorough cleaning. 1t was
at this juncture that the janitor hap
pened along-an old retainer whose
years of usefulness had long since
passed, but who still made a feeble,
shiftless pretense of keeping busy, and
was indulgently carried along ON the
payroll of the company. Catching
sight of the young men industriously
securing the grimy wlndows--work
which the old fellow himself system
atically avoided doing whenever he
could-he stopped to watch them ap-
provingly.
That's right, boys" he exclaimed,
nodding his head encouragir -ly.
That's the way l got my start."-Har-
pePs Weekly.

The mistress remembered hearing a
voice, singularly like her own, that
had lifted itself up, and proclaimed:
"If the employers of domestic help
would remember that their maids are
human beings and not machines, the
servant problem would solve itself"
So she felt constrained to ask: And
did she have 1t all that while?'
mo, she didn't; lady gave her a
cure; she says, Get up every morning
for three days just at dawn. Then pull
a hair from the very middle of the
baby's head; after that split open a
piece Of meat and put in the hair.
Then tie the meat to piece Of bread
an feed it all to big black dog. In
three days the dog will have the
whooping cough an the baby will be
better

owner of the silver.
"Sure she was," returned the teller

Awkward Language.

Japanese typos" have their
troubles. X. Suqimura, library editor
of the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, says that
he especially admires the linotype
machines. Unfortunately we are un-
able to use them in Japan, for our
language has AZ letters, as well as
over 5000 Chinese characters, and
such number of types is, of course,
beyond the capabilities of any ma
chine yet invented. In the printing
office of our newspaper in Tokyo the
compositor must often walk the
whole length of the room to fetch one
character, instead of standing in one
place before single case, as the Eng
lish or American compositors can do"

Rewards of Authorship.

An addition to the list of phraseolog-

speaker at the religious congress in
the Oxford schools. For competent
student of any great subject there

way of clarifying and increasing
knowledge than writing book about
it. Something like the same senti-
ment was expressed a little more
cynically by the late Bishop Creighton

Minor Poesy.

A thought once stole, by mistake.
into the mind of minor poet. 1t was
very little thought and it was
frightened at the vast empty spaces,
and covered timidly into dark
corner, where it hoped to escape
observation.
But in a moment the poet had dis
covered 1t and straightway he pounced
upon it avidly, and mauled, jamnied,
cut, squeezed and otherwise tor
tured it.
The thought suffered greatly, but
the poet did not desist until he had
achieved his purpose, which was to
grind out another sonnet and keep
himself before the public.-Puck.
