TALE OF TWO CITIES
Great Contrast Between Belfast and
Dublin.

Dublin.
The majority of the city Of Belfast
are Protestant-thougIln nearly n third
are Catholics. How have the Protest.
ant majority acted - Use matter Of
religious toleration? The records tell,
and here are some Of them. says The
Montreal Tribune
No Catholic has ever been elected
Mayor or Lord Mayor of Belfast. And
until few years ago, when Parlia
ment compelled redistribution OF
the city wards, no Catholic was ever
elected a member of the City Council
or Of the Harbor Board, or the Poor
Law Board, or the Water Board. The
City Council pays over 100000 a year
in Salaries to officials, but until the
recent action OF Parliament there
were no Catholic officials in Belfast.
and even at present the salaries paid
to Catholic officials amount to less
than $4,000 out ol the 100000.
Such is the religious toleration in
Protestant Belfast.
Facts from Dublin.
The population Of Dublin are Cath
olics by an overwhelming majority.
How have that Catholic majority act
cd in the matter of religious tolcra-
ton? Let the records tell. Here are
few of them:
Since 1843 there have been twenty
three Protestant Lord Mayors of Dub
lin. During the same period the Office
of Sheriff has been held by Protest
ants thirty eight times; so that in
Catholic Dublin Protestants have
been chosen to the high office of Shcr-
iff much oftcncr than Catholics. There
has always been a considerable num-
Der of Protestant members in the
Dublin City Council. AS to city off,
cials the following held by Protest.
ants in Catholic Dublin at the present
time:
Protestant Office Holders.
City marshal, city engineer ana bat
ough surveyor, assistant engineer, in
spector of buildings, clerks of works,
superintendent electrical engineer,
three assistant electrical engineers,
resident drainage engineers, clerk Of
drainage, superintendent medical OFF,
Ger of health, veterinary inspector.
superintendent of disinfection, SUPER
intendent Of sanitation, collector OF
market dues, first and second legal
assistants, and dozens of subsidiary
positions.
Such is religious federation in Cath
olic Dublin Hardly necessary to COM
ment on the contrast presented by the

HfPNOTISM LEADS TO
PRISON FOR TEACHER.
German Instructor Tries to Cure
Disobedience and Deceit by
Mental Suggestion.

Berlin, June IA teacher named
ed Boennecker has been sentenced
to ten days Imprisonment at Elber-
field for making experiments in
hypnotism with the pupils in his
charge.
Boennecker, VINO was greatly in,
terested in hypnotism, decided thai
he might use it for the purpose o.,
improving the manners of his pu-
pills who were rather an unruly
band drawn from the lower work
ing classes He wished to cure
them of bad habits of disobedience
and deceit, and, for this purpose
he hypontized them one after the
other, before he attempted to teach
them.
Then, while they were in
trance, he impressed upon them
first of all, the necessity of say
ing nothing of what had occurred,
and then the Importance of telling
the truth and of being very polite
to him when they awoke.
Some of the children yielded to
hypnotic suggestion almost imme-
diately, while others were not such
good subjects. The latter told their
parents Of what had occurred, and
Investigations We're made 1t was
found that the hypnotized children
were doing exactly as they were
told. and that their manners hat
improved to a very great extent.
The court, however, took tn
view that the experiments wer
dangerous to the health of til
children, and Boennecker was con
victed.

They Act.


New York, June DIR. l. Seth
the X-ray expert of Belle

study during the summer months
in X-ray laboratories at Berlin and
Vienna, announced that he has APP
piled for a patent for moving
picture apparatus which win take
100 X-ray pictures Of the heart
or other human organs in mo-
ton.
A specially prepared screen Il
placed against a mans breast. Or
this plate is a tiny window the
screen being arranged so that tht

Back of the screen is a wheel hold

revolved by the operator the sensi-
tfzed section of the film rapidly
are brought in turn directly back of
the window. and the outline of the
heart expanding and contracting Is
recorded every one-hundredth of a
minute, DR.. Hirsch says. Then
these pictures may be shown after
the manner Of moving pictures.
There has been patented abroad,
said Dr. Hirsch, an X-ray machine
