call them, because Of the powder that
is sprinkled on their broad backs to

We may accept as quite we'll sstab-
lished the fact that Authorizations, to
people who have then, are real
things. and that loss of memory is
real thing, and that double personality
il real thing.
OF the loss of memory many cases
are familiar. One Of the most curious
WAS that Of Z man who had been q
cork cutter in England, says tho Lon.
don Daily Graphic, and went out to
America leaving family behind him.
He was wrecked and lost all memory
Of his former life. He became we'll
to do and prosperous and it was only
by the accident of going over q cork
cutting factory that hs recovered the
clue to his former personality. His
thinking brain was unstirred, but that
part Of the brain which directs mus
cular action enabled him by An act
OF unconscious memory to cut q cork
an act which no Impractical person
could do. 1t was clear then that he
had once been = cork cutter, and the
institution Of further inquiries finally
identified him.
To return, however. to the cases Of
duplex personality. The frst one Of
recorded historically 10 that Of .
youth named Sorgsl. in Bavaria. who
was IN sptlsptie. and in one Of the r.
lapsss into criminal frame Of mind
which followed on his spilspdc ssis-
urss killed . woodeutter. He made
no attempt b defend or hide his act,
but childishly explained It. He con.
tinusd thus for week after TIE
crime, whom his flrst personality was
restored to him. He then complstsly
forgot all the occurrences that had
preceded or followed the murder. A.
though this case took place nearly 100
Year, ago his Judges were convinced
of his innocence. Sorgel afterward

son just closed stands out above all
others in the position, on the offense

teresting. Two years ago quite a SEN

learned that Hart was playing with a
supposedly broken neck. To set the
minds Of the people at ease he under
went an elaborate physical exami-
nation by specialists and was declar-
ed as sound as any of the giants of
the American gridiron. Hart began
his football career at Exeter high
school, Exeter, Mass, when he was a
youngster thirteen years old. For
four years he distinguished himself on
the football field. In 1908 he entered
Phillips Exeter academy. 1t was while
there he injured his neck. AS a mem
Der of the eleven he made a great
name for himself in the back field.
From there he went to Princeton. AL

MAYHEM the present revolution
&SHf broke out in China, Ameri-
cans in general We're inclin-
ed to believe that wide
spread de%capitation would cause this
anti-Manchu outbreak to go the unsuc-
cessful way of the numerous rebellious
that have troubled the empire for the
past three centuries. But a RETROSPECT
tive view of what has been accom-
plished by the Chinese rebels proves
that this revolution is unique. Never
before has the control Of so many
provinces been gained by a rebellion,
and by the end of a few weeks the
Manchu dynasty was compelled to
make concessions that former years Of
internal war had failed to procure.
1t was on Oct. 10 that occidental
nations were somewhat surprised to
learn hat rebels who had taken up
arms as a protest against the Manchu
scheme for the naturalization of the
railroads had captured Wuchang and,
strengthened considerably by govern
ment troops that had mutinied after
three Of their leaders had been put to
death. came into possession Of the
provincial treasury Of Hupeh, with
100000 silver taels. The capture of
Wuchang meant the overthrow Of gov
eminent authority in a provincial cap
ital for the first time since the Tai
ping rebellion. and in Il short time the
rebels were in Hankow. Both the
seizure of money at Wuchang and the
notable success of the rebels enabled
their leaders to secure more followers,
with the result that the arsenal Of
Hanyang was captured several days
later. Thus two of the requisites for
carrying on a rebellion-money and
arms-were secured at the outset.
The rebels met with further success
when their army. numbering about 49,
600, routed 10000 imperial soldiers who
were attempting to retake Hankow.
The same day. Oct. %. Kwangshui.
fifty miles south of Hankow. was cap
tured by the rebels, and the following
day came the fall of Ichang and
Changsha. By this time four impor-
tant provinces were under revolution
airy inluence-Szechuan, where the
movement originally started; Hupeh,
of which Wuchang is the capital; HUI
nan and Kiangsi.
Meanwhile the fighting had continued
in the vicinity of Hankow. and on Oct.
% it was recaptured by the imperial
forces. About the same time the vet
eran statesman, Yuan Shin Kai, whom
many consider the only person who
a save the Manchu dynasty from de-
struction, was put in supreme CON-
mand of the imperial army and navy

considered one of the greatest dates
in Chinese history, for the fve-year-old
