"SNAkES" REAL.

The national lecturer for the Theo-
sophical society declared at Chicago
that the victim of delrium tremens
actually sees snakes. ''The drunken
person who sees snakes,' he said
actually sees them on the astral
plane Now there is no doubt about
it and very worthy authority can be
given to convince the doubling ones.
ard to steer clear of that astral
plane.
If he does not take this precaution
he Will be III the position Of the man
who looked upon the shelf knowing
what he would see there aud was then
grieved by what he SAW. Surely there
is no sense to proposition like this
and the man who thinks it is a case
merel y of physical appetite and crav-
ing ought to wake up. All he will
have to do to avoid seeing the menag-
erie is to keep off that plane.
On the other hand the assertions of
the noted lecturer will not be devoid
Of comfort to the victim of delirim
tremens. While the victim has al
ways been very positive as to the
reality Of the animals and insects
which nobody else could see, he will
welcome this erudite statement that
his observation is absolutely correct,
while the sieptic is himself a victim
OF his own mlScOnceptiOn.
This development of the science of
hopeless intoXication is hailed with
satisfaction. If the snakes are really
real it won't be such a terrible thing
to see them. 1t is the horrible sus-
picion that one is seeing things that
are not that upsets the hu man mech
anism which evolves thought and
takes Impressions.
