him. He was unable to explain what
had happened, said he had no recol-
lection Of using the revolver, and the
only thing he could recall was that
he had been dreaming about burglars.
Mrs. Hollis died In few minutes.
The bullet had struck her near the
right collarbone and had passed down
ward through the right lung and into
the spine.
1T is evident" said DR.. Wilfred M.
Barton, the eminent Washington spe-
cialist in mental and nervous affec-
tions, that Hollis belongs to type
suffering from hystero-neurasthenia.
In such cases the features of dream
will persist much longer time than
in the case Of a normal individual and
may give rise to variety of acct
dents. For instance, persons in this
state may have a convulsive crisis
and may commit acts which represent
the projection of subconsciousness
without the higher faculties of the
brain partaking in any way of its de-
velopment. In SONG of these cases
they suffer from sleep drunkenness Of
somnolentia, in which acts of violence
may be committed. During this fren-
zied state almost any act Of violence
may be committed in condition Of
complete inconsistencies.
Dreams Leading to Violence.
"The influence of terrifying
dream. on hysterical person has
been known to lead up to acts Of VIC
lence. Cases of this kind have been
reported in medical literature. The
condition is somewhat related to what
is known In children as night ter
rors,' from which the patient awakes
in vague and VIVID alarm from agitated
sleep. In cases reported there has
been complete absence of memory
concerning all Of the acts committed
during this state"
Five years ago Frank Manoley shot
and killed his wife under almost sim
liar conditions, at Baltimore. He as
serted that he had been dreaming
that he was attacked by a burglar

Crawl under the bed and let you

reply. Prof. Doyle laughed and both
dropped off to sleep.
Suddenly there was a commotion.
Doyle leaped up in bed, planted his
knees on Appleby's chest, got wise
like grip on both arms and, with his
extraordinary strength, was on the
verge Of breaking the newspaper
mans arm.
Thought Bear Had Broken In.
John, John, wake up!" screamed
Appleby. Doyle leaped from the bed
to take firmer grip. Appleby olsen
gagged one arm and struck Doyle.
This awakened the latter. He said he
had gone to sleep with the idea OF
bear coming through the open win
dow. He fancied he had remained
awake to catch the bear II 1t came.
Suddenly he saw the bear quite plain
ly, as he afterward insisted and at
tackled it.
The particulars Of an extraordinary
case OF somnambulism have recently
been communicated to the British
Medical Journal by DR.. James Russell,
assistant physician at the Birmingham
hospital. It relates to a young woman
of 81 years who Is teacher of the
typewriter and a student Of music.
She entered the hospital to be cured
of sleep-walking. While under obser-
walton there she habitually left her
bed after three or four hours sleep
and busted herself in various ways,
including descending into the music
room and playing the piano, tuning
violin and fitting new strings to It and
crocheting.
Her most remarkable feats, how
ever. were reading and writing In the
dark. II there was even faint arti-
fetal light in the room she would
avoid It and go to the darkest corner,
where she would read various books,
study the theory OF harmony and write
letters. One of her letters was adj
dressed to her music teacher. II con-
tanned a short essay on "The Sonata
Form" which was accurate In sense
and construction. Another letter she
wrote was in German.
When she was awake she did not In
the least remember writing or read
ing. An examination Of her eyes did
not reveal the reason for her being
able to see In the dark. She has now
left the hospital, her condition having
improved, but she still occasionally
walks in her sleep.
Wrots Sermons During sleep
The archbishop Of Bordeaux attests
the case Of . young priest who was in
the habit of getting up during the
night In Q state Of somnambulism,
taking pen, ink and paper and writing
original sermons. When he had nm
ished q page he would read aloud
what he had written and correct It.
In order to ascertain whether the SOM
nambulist made uss Of his eyes, the
archbishop held Z piece Of cardboard
under his chin to prevent his seeing
the paper. He continued to write
without being in the slightest degrees
incommoded.

is printed in book. Well, the cap
tain of this particular company had
a horse assigned to him that turned
out to be 'goat'-slow at getting
away from his stall when the bell
rang and his halter was untripped,"
he added for the benefit Of novice
who was in the group. Now, this
captain had greater regard for the
efficiency Of his company than he had
for anything else-he cared little for
his family. by way OF comparison. So
he studied for long time and finally
sends over to house furnishing store
for half dozen of these big tin pie
plates. Then he spent the best part
of the forenoon rigging up his ma
chine over the stall of the slow horse.
He hung the pie plates by means of
a cord run through the center of each.
about four feet above the horses hind
quarters; then he ran line through
a pulley down to the trip. AS soon
as the alarm hits the trip breaks and
releases the horse. He fixed 1T so
that the pans would come down on the
horse at the same time and send him
out Of his stall on the jump. We
waited around all afternoon for an
alarm to hit In. never saw such q
dull day. Finally 1t came-about six
o'clock. The pie plates worked to
perfection. The horse gave one jump
out of the stall. almost ran down the
man on watch, and was out in the
center of the street before they caught
him. One lesson was enough for that
horse, and always after that he would
run out of his stall with one eye
cooked over his shoulder on the look
out for those pie tins"
