SHE HAD TWO PERSONALITIES
London Physician Describes Two Con-

OF Hypnotlsm.

An hysteria case similar to that Of
Miss Beauchamp of Boston, who had
three distinct personalities, two more
or less well behaved and one always
naughty, was described recently by
Doctor William Brown In lecture at
Kings College.
Doctor Browns case was also pa
tient of DR.. Morton Prince of Boston,
the discoverer of the three Miss Beau
champs. The patient, a woman OF %,
for months had two personalities, A
and B.
B was gay, pleasure loving girl, a
constant thorn in the flesh of her staid
and sober minded second conscious
ness, A. AS gloomy outlook, which
kept her in a general state of low
health, was being constantly further
depressed by her receipt in waking up
in the morning of frivolous notes writ
ten In the night by the irrepressible B..
By the use of hypnotism Doctor
Prince was able, at first temporarily
and finally permanently, to merge the
two diverse personalities A and B into
a healthy, normal personality.-Lon-

settled on Washington 1t ceased to be
a source of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn. An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the scalp.

THE LURE OF THE WEST

Writing on the Canadian West, an

"The West still calls with impera

young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The

This Is true. While the immigra.

INTERESTS WIN;
REOPENS FIGHT
COURT OF CLAIMS AWARDS AL
TON ROAD oVERcHARoE FOR
HAULING MAIL.
AGAIN ESTABLISHES THE OLD SYSTEM
Congressman Victor Murdoch, Six
Years Ago, Fought Old system of
Weighing Mall Hauled by Railroads
and Won-case May Now Go to
Congress.

Washington, June 7.-Representa-
tive Victor Murdoch is up in arms
over the decision or the court OF
claims on the so-called divisor case.
Granting a claim of the Chicago &
Alton railway for $S2,604.86, the court
this week sustained the contention
that the governments system of COM
putting the average weekly weight OF
mail transported by railroads allows
compensation for only 81 of the mat
ter actually handled. This decision, II
it stands, will undo the work that
Murdoch accomplished six years ago
after long, hard fight.
Murdoch discovered that the rail.
road companies we're being overpaid
for the carriage of mail through
method of computing the average
daily weight Of the mail by which
seven days mail was divided by six
instead of by seven, to get the daily
average. Murdoch exposed the prac-
tice and fought 1t in congress.
He finally, on March 3, 1907, Sc
cured an executive order by President
Roosevelt which abolished the prac-
tice. Ever since then the railroad
companies have been fighting the new
system and the case decided in their
favor in the court of claims this week
was the first test of the proposition
in court Murdoch expresses satisfac-
ton over the fact that the govern
ment is to appeal from the diverse
decision of the court OF claims to
the United States supreme court and
he hopes the decision of the lower
court will there be set aside.
If it does not, the Kansas con-
gresham, who is very much aroused
over the matter, declares that the
fight will be taken up in congress and
continued until it is settled and set
tied right.

superstItIon and JurIes.

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strong
ly tarred with the brush of supersti-
ton.
81 am confirmed In that belief by the
amount of damages invariably voted to
plaintiffs whose injuries smack of su-
perstitious origin" he said. IF load
of bricks should fall from fifth story
window onto the head of a man who
happened to be walking under ladder
he would get twice as much damages
as If the ladder were not there. The
element of bad luck that attaches to a
ladder would insensibly influence every
juror, and the sum awarded would re-
fleet their prejudlces and sympathies."

Cannon Of Solid Rock.

When the island Of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one Of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel of powder. and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon 30 were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms Of de-
tense became known to the world the
idea was taken up Of transporting
rocks to submits to serve the same
purpose, but 1t was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon of
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea-
pons OF the kind ever known.-Har-

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use In
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, 80 that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But It is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is, in certain parts Of the field OF
vision. The most normal Individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. II looked at
from an angle OF about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
OF yellow or blue. This region OF the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
II the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone OF
complete color blindness. An inter
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
Of complete color blindness Is the low
est stage, and appears in such anil
mails as the frog, whose vision Is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
of in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases Of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory, lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage Of indi-
vidual life.-Strand Magazine.

Father browns -aving BOYS.

lola, Kan, June Henry Steck, 60
years old, wealthy farmer who lived
near Piqua, Kan, was drowned in the
Neosho river here tonight while res
cuing two small sons, who, while
swimming, got beyond their depth.
Just as Steck landed the boys safely
on the bank he was seized with
cramps and fell back into the water.
The river was rising and running
rapidly, following heavy rain. Two
of Steck's children were drowned a
year ago.
