THE HYPNOTIC EYE.
And the Man Who Likes to Test 1t sR

And the Man Who Likes to Test 1t on
 the Circus Animals.
 The man who wants to test the pow CT of the human eye on savage beasts is legion, and he affords no end of amusement for the attendants at the circus, who are always on the lookout for him. Often he may be detected standing before the cage of a lion, gazing intently straight into the eyes of the dignifed old beast, who gazes back with indifference and finally shifts his eyes. not because he feels any mystic influence, but because something else has attracted his at- tention.
 A story is told of a man who tried the hypnotic trick on an ostrich. At first the bird crouched down and hut tered his wings nervously, but made no other manifestation for some time. A few hours later the body of the man was found, with the huge bird ala tsrnately stamping and sitting on it. Another Is told of a man who tried to outgaze a leopard. with the result that the animal made a fierce charge against the bars of his cage and at the man, and the two created disturb ance that brought the attendants hur- rying to investigate the trouble.-Har- riet Quimby in Leslle's Weekly.
