EVERYBODY CAN HYPNOTIC.

Psychology Is one of the catchwords
of h hour, and psychological litera-
ture is piling up, both fact and fiction.
OF course, whoever wants to hypno-
tize-in fact, no one but a physician
ought to do Unjust learn the tech
nique and apply it patiently and skill
fully. And, certainly, writes Professor
Munsterberg in McClure's. there are
Individual differences. Not everyone
can be deeply hypnotized; with not a
few the inhibition goes no further than
the inability to open the eyes, while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic Authorizations. Further, not
everyone is we'll prepared to awaken
that confidence which is essential and
that feeling of repose which guides
one over to the dreamy state; the look,
the voice, the gestures, the phrases,
the behavior, of certain persons make
them poor hypnotizers, however we'll
they may understand the tricks. But
in principle everybody ear hypnotic
and can be %hypnotized, just as in
principle everybody can love inc can
be loved, and no special mysterious
power is needed to fall in love or to
awaken owe.
Yet while thus everyone can exert
hypnotic influence, no one can do it by
a mere glance. All the stories of a
secret influence by which one mans
will gets hold of another mans mind
are remains of the mesmeric theories
of the past. Today we know that
everything depends upon the attention

Expressman Norton Offers Novel
Excuse When Arraigned
for Theft.
BOX LOST SINCE APRIL
FILLED WITH VALUABLES
Given Wrong Address to Deliver
1t to, Pawns Contents,
He COnfeSses.

Because he was given the wrong adj
dress was the excuse given by Hiram
Norton, a truck driver of 81 Christie
pher street. Manhattan, for stealing a
trunk containing $4,000 worth of valu-
ables when he was arraigned in the
First Criminal Court today. Norton
was held in $1.0O bail for the Grand
Jury.
In April last Mrs. A. b. Chew, of
Baltimore, .cameNto this city, n en-
gagged a truclxman at the Pennsylvania
Railroad to carry the trunk to "45'
Park place. She never saw it again.
Detective Sergeant Frank Tuite. of this
city, and Lieutenant James O'Neill, of
Manhattan. worked on the case until a
week ago, when Norton was arrested.
The officers found hat the major por-
ton of the valuables a been pawned,
and this led to Norton's arrest. He
waived 5extradition yesterday in the
Centre Street Court, Manhattan, and
came to Newark with Detective Tuite.
This morning he confessed, but said
he had tried to find the address given
him, and when he could not went to
New York, where he broke the trunk
open and found he had a small fortune.
"A year ago | $was worth $4,000. To-
day I haven't three cents" the pris-
oner said as he stood before Judge
Howell.

BOSTON EDITOR SAYS
PUBLIC RULES THE PRESS.


Our papers are what the people make
them, declares General Charles H. Tay-
lor, editor of the. Boston Globe. in an
article in the March Appleton's. The
public decides what it wishes to read;
the editors and publishers, trained in
their business, gather their raw mate
rial and work it into the finished pro-
duct, news. to meet the demand.
Controllers of newspapers are often
criticised for what they print. Journal-
lists have a much heavier and more
direct responsibility than any other
business men.
The idle, the self-seeking, the In
truthful. the vicious, beguile them at
every hand, to use the powerful engine
of the press to carry themselves a little
way along their chosen Dad The

unwelcome passengers, n eject them

and imagination of the h%ypnotized, and
that no mysterious fluid Ear flow over
from the mind of the hypnotist to the

view of the unscientihc superstition
reached it's climax in the prevalent be-
lief that a man could exert secret in
fuence from a distance, without the
victims knowledge of the source of the
uncanny distortion of his mind. Ac-
cording to this belief every heinous
crime might be committed under that
cover; the distant h%ypnotizer could i'll
flict pain and suffering on his enemy
and could misuse the innocent as in.
struments of his criminal schemes.

Following was the statement of cost

schools;
| Elementary, $29.62; high schools,

cation playground cost Newark 70 cents

to. keep them at. their books. Summer
schools figure at $2.4S and the evening
schools $16.92.
These estimates are made on the
average enrolment. DIR. Poland says
that the necessity for ungraded schools

taught and weaned from their bad
ways is very great.

The league in the State is in favor
of this addition to the other six planks
in the platform, but here in Essex
the idea seems to be that there are
more than enough without it. When
the league first began operations three
years ago, the platform consisted of
but three planks, declaring for the
equalization of taxes, limiting of fran
chises and election of United States
Senators by the people.
The whole fight was made on these
three points, and those who pulled the
organization through are not in favor
of making the issues next fall any.
more complies thar is absolutely neces-

is not in favor of adopting it. even
though asked to do so by the State.

from its present quarters was brought
up yesterday, but no decision was
reached. Senator Colby expects to be-
gin practising law within a few weeks.

ELEcTRIcITY,s STRUCTURE

The familiar idea of the atomic
structure of matter which underlines
chemical theory seems to Madame
Curie, the world famed authority on
radiuIn, to have it's counterpart in
what she terms the atomic structure Of
electricity, in the opening lecture of
her course in general physics delivered
at the ~Sorbonne, where she holds a
chair, says Current Literature. Madame
Curie urges this view of the subject
with more confidence than any other
student of modern theories of electricity
and matter has ventured to display.
The existence of electric atoms, indi-
visible by our present methods of re-
search, appears to be established, she
thinks, with certainty. The important
properties of these atoms seem to her
likewise evident. For instance, the
atoms of negative electricity which we
call e~lectronS are found to exist in a
free state.
These atoms of negative electricity
are independent of all material atoms.
They have no properties in common
with them. In this state the atoms of
negative electricity possess certain
dimensions in space and are endowed
with a certain inertia which has sug-
gested the idea of attributing to them
a corresponding mass" Experiments
AVE shown that their dimensions are
very small compared with those of
material molecules and that their mas
is only a small fraction not exceeding
one one-thousandth of the mass of an
atom of hydrogen.
Experiments also seem to Madame
Curie to show that If these atoms can
exist isolated they may also exist in all
ordinary matter. They may even in
certain cases be emitted by a sub
stance such as a metal without it's
properties being changed in a man
ner appreciable by us.
