A Queer Phase Of Hysnotism,

The technique of phreno-mag netism
is this: When the subject is in the hyp-
motto sleep the operator, standing be-
hind him. places the tips of his fingers
upon the subjects head and waits.
Soon the subject will begin to act or
sing or speak Any one acquainted
with the chronological systern,of local
ization will recognize at once that the
actions or words of the subject CORE
spond to the "organ" on the head
which has been touched by the opera
tor Thus if you touch combativeness
the subject is very apt to square off
and strike some one or speak Of war
or a drum. If you touch veneratiOn
he is is very apt to lift his eyes and
pray. ! have heard a very eloquent
sermon thus inspired in subject who
was gifted with ready tongue. Touch
the organ of color and he will speak of
beautiful colors. Touch tune and he
will sing or whistle. Touch caution
and his face will express vivid fear.
remember that one subject startled me
by shouting Look outv' and making
leap that he could scarcely have
eoualed In his waking state. When
touched the faculty of caution he
thought he saw Il snake.-Dr. George
Il. Laidlaw in Metropolitan Magazine.

BLOTTING PAPER.
Its Discovery Was the Result Of a
Workman's Carelessness.

Its Discovery Was the Result Of a
Workman's Carelessness.
Blotting paper was discovered pure
ly by accident Some ordinary paper
was being made one day at mill in
Berkshire when a careless workman
forgot to put In the sizing material.
1t may be imagined what angry scenes
would take place in that mill, as the
whole of the paper made was regarded
as being quite useless. The proprie-
tor Of the mill desired to write a
note shortly afterward, and he took a
piece Of waste paper, thinking it was
good enough for the purpose. To his
intense annoyance the ink spread all
over the paper. All of sudden there
flashed over his mind the thought that
this paper would do instead of sand
for drying ink, and he at once adver-
tised his waste paper as plotting"
The reason the paper is Of use in
drying ink is that really it is mass
of hairlike tubes which suck up liquid
by capillary attraction. If very fine
glass tube is put into water the liquid
will rise in it owing to capillary at
traction. The art Of manufacturing
blotting paper has been carried to such
a degree that the product has wonder
full absorbent qualities.
The original plotting paper was of a
pink color, due to the fact that red
rags were used, rags which could not
be used for making the ordinary pa
per, as the color could not be remov-
ed. Here was a method for using the
apparently useless matter, and so for
a long time pink was the predominant
color.-London M. A. 2.

The Arch.

The consensus of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was invented by the Romans. Some
claim that Archimedes Of Sicily was
the inventor, while there are others
who would make it to be Of Etrurian
origin, but there can be no doubt about
the fact that the Romans were the
first to apply the principle to archi-
lecture. The earliest instance of its
use is in the case of the Cloaca Max
ina, or Great sewer, of Rome, built
about 5SS B. g. by the first of the Tar
quin line of kings. work which is re-
garded by the historians as being one
of the most stupendous monuments of
antiquity. Built entirely without &C.
ment, it is still doing duty after a
service Of almost twenty-five centuries.

A Clash With Caqed Pythons.

Carl Hagenbeck thus described an
adventure with Gagged pythons: "My
son Heinrich had no sooner opened the
door of the cage than the four reptiles
as though by prearranged plan, flew at
him with wide open jaws. One OF
them very nearly succeeded in coiling
itself round him. but he defended him
self vigorously. and and keeper
ran to his aid. but it was some min
utes before we succeeded in freeing
him. Then the largest of the foul
fixed himself firmly with his tail Oh o
rafter at the top of the cage and made
savage bites at us. When we had
thrown sack over his head we had tC
secure further assistance to unlOOser
his TAIL No sooner had we with great
effort got 1t loose than the monster
twisted itself around Heinrich's right
leg and began to Irvine itself higher
up his body. 1t was life and death
struggle that then ensued, but by ex
erting all our might we at last sue
ceeded in tearing away the reptile and
forcing it into a sack"

Literary "Ghosts."

According to a writer in La Revue
of Paris, the rank and file Of novelists
in France draw on an average 500 for
each book, and many of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand, those at the top of the
tree earn large incomes, and some Of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse is
then had to literary GHOSTS" of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing tc
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ghost
with a grievance against his employer
interpolated in the book ordered from
him two chapters Of Mime. Bovary."

The Record of Raindrops,

It is by carefully noting small and
apparently Insignificant things and
facts that men Of science are enabled
to reach some Of their most surprising
and Interesting conclusions. In many
places the surface Of rocks. which mil
lions of years ago must have formed
sandy or muddy seabeaches, is found
to be pitted with the impressions of
raindrops. In England it has been
noticed that in many cases the eastern
sides of these depressions are the more
deeply pitted, indicating that the rain
drops which formed them were driven
before a west wind. From this the
conclusion is drawn that in the remote
epoch when the pits were formed the
majority Of the storms in England
came from the west, just as they do
today.-Harper's Weekly.

RAIN FORMATION.
Cold Air Squeezes the Moisture Out OF
Warm Air.

Gold Air Squeezes the Moisture Out Of
Warm Air.
Warm air is capable of holding more
moisture in suspension than is cold air.
When by any means layer or current
of warm air which is saturated with
moisture is suddenly cooled a portion
OF the vapor must fall as rain. Cold
shrinks the heated air as pressure does
a wet sponge and with precisely the
same results. In mountainous coun-
tries this cooling down Of the warm
and damp air is most commonly pro-
duced by the air being brought into
the neighborhood Of mountain tops,
which are cold.
It is for this reason that in such
countries the showers mostly originate
among the mountains and come
through the valleys out upon the
plains.
1t will be easily understood that the
higher the mountain the more striking
will be the effects produced. If it be
a snow capped peak in tropical re-
gion cloud will be formed such as
to conceal the summit all the time.
This cloud will be constantly growing
on the side Of the mountain toward
which the currents Of warm and moist
air are set, for on that side the air is
being cooled down, but after it has
been driven over the peak it will waste
away as rapidly, for it is then coming
in contact with warmer air again.
From such high peaks the cloud rare
ly breaks away as a shower. All the
surplus moisture Of the air is depos-
tied in the form of rain or snow upon
the peaks over which the air passes.

CIVIC WORK TO GO FORWARD

The Civic Club met in the Y. N. G.
A. parlor at 5 o'clock Monday after
noon.
The first business before the club
was The selection of a corresponding
secretary. Mrs. Chas. Bodley was
unanimously elected to fill this ollie.
Mrs. A. Hume Sprinkle, Mrs. Charles
Curry and Mrs. J. F. Cassell were
chosen as additional board members.
A resolution expressing appreciation
of the cooperation and support of
the Dispatch-News was offered and
voted for unanimously. In addition
to the prizes already offered the Civic
Club will give silver deposit water
pitcher to Glass B; a half dozen ster-
ling silver tea spoons to Glass E.
Mrs. P. III. Heydenreich offers a
lawn mower to the special class
namely the prettiest yard occupied by
a white person irrespective of cost. No
prizes are offered to housholders keep
ing a gardener or yard man. Mr.. H. l..
Lang offers prize to be announce
later.
The Civic Club desires to announce
that it will be glad to have other pub
lie spirited citizens come forward and
offer prizes. The work is expensive
and its possibilities are unli mited if
the interest is awakened.
The lecture Thursday night at
o'clock in the Y. M. G. A. hall is free,
and for the credit of the city the Civic
Club asks for representative audience.
The Councilmen are expected to make
a point of being present. The police
men can't afford to miss the opportu-
nifty to hear how they can further the
cause of cleaning up a town, say the
club members, since they have already
made wonderful showing of what
can be done by persistence in that di.
rection.
The women of Staunton are urged tc
consider this work as their own prob
lem and are invited to come and learn
how to solve it.
The Cha mber of Commerce will bt
present in body.

VESTAL VIRGINS.
They Kept the Sacred Fires Alisht In
Ancient Rome.

They Kept the Sacred Fires Alisht In
Ancient Rome.
Ovid tells US that the first temple
Of Vesta at Rome was constructed OF
waited walls and rooted with thatch,
like the primitive huts Of the inhablt-
ants. 1t was little other than a cir
cular covered fireplace and was tend
ed by the unmarried girls Of the COM
munity. It served as the public hearth
of Rome, and on it glowed, unext1n-
guished throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes Of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
skirt was, which means "to dwell, to
lnhabit," and shows that she was the
goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as its focus. A town, state,
is but a large family, and what the
domestic hearth was to the house
the temple Of the perpetual fire be-
came to the city. Every town had its
vesta, or common hearth, and the col
onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth.
Should a vestal maiden allow the sa-
cred fire to become eXtinguished she
was beaten till her blood flowed, and
the new fire was solemnly rekindled
by rubbing together Of dry wood or
by focusing Of suns rays. The circu-
lar form and domed roof Of the tenn
pie Of Vesta were surv1vals Of the pre-
historic huts Of the aborigines, which
were invariably round.-Cornhill Mag
