Berlin, September 10.--ln conse-
uuence of the stubborn nature of the
Czarina's illness, which is combina-
ton of various complaints. IT mas been
decided to endeavor to cure her with
the help of hypnotism. IL Will be re-
membered it was announced that the
Czarina in her distress had recourse to
cocaine. and now she is known to be
suffering from heart trouble, brought
on by nervous prostration.
The primary cause of all her
troubles is constant fear in which she
has lived for years, and which de-
veloped melanchoNa. a series or cures
has been attempted, but they have
proved unsuccessful. because they DID
not descend to the root OF 500 SICK

in the mind. The present cure at

and her doctors realize 1T cannot pos
siply achieve a complete cure.
Consequently two eminent German
specialists were summoned by the
Gar to examine the Empress. They
advised him in view of the unusual
nature of the case to depart from or
binary methods of healing and allow
an experienced hypnotist to bring
about an improvement In the Czarina's
condition. A hypnotist has been So

Treatment Is Dangerous.
It would be his duty to mesmerlze
the Czarina. and then suggest TO her
that she is the happiest mortal under
the sun. The latest researches on the
subject of hypnotic influence on human
beings lead the doctors to believe that
this thought planted in the Czarinas
brain when hypnotized may react on
her when she is reawakened into nor
NAL consciousness. Tho treatment Is
attended with some danger, owing to
the comparatively elementary char
acter of knowledge on the subject OF
hypnotism, but the Czarina's condition
is so bad that it has been judged right
to take the risk IN the hope OF az
fecting a cure.
The method of treatment to be ap-
piled opens up hope for all kinds OF
mental diseases. German medical ex-
perts. although unwilling to append
their names publicly to such a state
ment, incline to the theory of a pos
sibility Of curing insanity by hypnotic
methods.
An Aerial Train Invented.
The newest aerial wonder, the air.
ship Zorn, Is really an aerial train, the
three constituent parts of which can
be uncoupled from one another during
flight so that the vessel can be d.
vided at will into three separate air.
ships.
In Its complete condition the Zorn
airship bears some resemblance to the
Zeppelin vessels. and belongs to the
rigid type. The airship or train Is
800 feet in length, and has diameter
of forty-two feet. The capacity is
1860 cubic metres. The popularity
Of the airship is that the motion OF
the three sections can vary without
being separated. The central section
always remains In horizontal posi-
ton. but the fore and aft section can
be inclined upward or downward or
else to the right or left.
The movements of the airship in Its
complete condition, therefore, resemble
those Of fish or of wriggling worm
For this reason the vessel has been
nicknamed the worm airship.
Sections Can he Separated.
The different sections can be sep.
arated from one another in the al,
within two minutes. Both fore and at,
sections can be separated stimuli
taneously or singly. The fore section
has length of 81 feet the centra
section a length of 1875 feet and thu
aft section length Of % feet.
Each section supports three cars
two of which carry motors, while tn,
third is reserved for the crew. In It
complete condition the nirship hal
nine cars, six of which carry motors
and three the crew.
Surprising the airship when in us
for military purposes has made i'm
portant observations, the fore section
might be detached and sent back t,
headquarters, carrying the Information
and photographs to the commander-in
| chief, while the remaining two sec
| tions continue their aerial reconnois
tring. If more valuable information i
then subsequently procured the at
section could be similarly detache!
and sent to headquarters with tn
supplementary information and photo
graphs. If one of the sections sus
tains serious damage It's crew coul
| board the other sections and the dam
aged part could be cut loose an
simply abandoned.
The total cost Of the airshtp is an
proXimately s150,00o. 1t is fitted viii
