The prize of 5000 francs offered
every two years for the best work
"in the field of hypnotism, suggestion,

vided by the French Academy OF

of the bequest of Mile. Juliette de

Jastrow queries in Science of May 20
whether a research proving the abb
sence of any such action "at dis

French Academy makes the awards
for 1913 as encouragement for mer-
ftorious work, but declares that
neither of the prize winning essays
goes far in proving the thesis. DR..
Jastrow thinks the academy is doing
wrong to give the bequest even an
implied Endorsement.

SYMBOLISM OF VEIL
Survival of Ancient Custom
YaShmak of the East.
Whatever May be Said of Its Origin
All Women Know That II Is Uni
versally and Incurabiy
Becoming.

Inc veil as a portion of feminine
attire Is almost symbolic in it's char
acter. The bridal veil is an interest
ing survival of the ancient custom OF
holding a canopy over the bride at her
wedding, a ceremony still observed at
jewish marriages. Many families hold
the bridal veil as one of the most pre-
cious OF heirlooms, to be handed down
from generation to generation and to
be guarded with the utmost care and
reverence.
Simpler in character, but no less
beautiful in effect, is the veil of the
young girl worn at her confirmation.
symbollzlng as 1t does the modesty
and simplicity of the maiden about
to enter on the responsibilities of ma
turity. These charming wells gen
orally of fine French net, hand made,
but devoid of ornamentation save for
the broad hemstitched border, are
often kept by the wearers to be used,
when later on they become wives and
mothers, as the christening veil for
1nSAA DoNJ' AlIHOuSu hlOOOAh SS~
ence is averse to the constant use
of a veil by young children, the Gus
tom still survives at christenings, and
we should be loath, indeed, to see 1t
disappear.
In the veil of the novice we find
survival of the wimple of the Norman
ladies, while certain orders of nuns.
such as the Kilburn Sisters, follow
faithfully the fashion of the early
Plantagenet court in the way they pin
the veil to the sides of their linen
caps. In just such a fashion was the
Plantagenet wimple fastened to the
chin band.
Although the veil has to some ex-
tent lost its significance in England
as symbol of mourning, says the
London Chronicle it is still used on
the continent in this connection with
great circumstance and ceremony.
Not only does a widow envelop herself
for lengthy period in a veil of amaz-
ing length and opaqueness, but every
relative of the deceased assumes a
similar dreary symbol of regret, its
size and thickness varying with nice
discrimination according to the ex-
act degree of relationship. In fact,
a Briton visiting France or Italy for
the first time is often astonished at
the number of apparent widows he is
apt to encounter in days walk. 1t
is not until his curiosity leads him to
prosecute inquiries that he learns the
true reason for the prevalence Of the
deep mourning veil reaching from
head to foot.
In the east the yashmak signifies all
that is subservient and dependent in
the lives of the women. For a woman
to appear unveiled before man is
to put herself forever beyond the pale.
On the day that the woman OF the
East shall appear with impunity and
unveiled in a public place she Will
have set her foot on the first rung
of the ladder of independence.
So. East or West, the veil holds its
own, from the yashmak to the motor
veil from the christening veil to the
wimple. Whatever antiquity may
have to say as to its origin, most OF
the women know that it owes It's
adoption in the first instance to the
fact that it is universally and In
curably becoming.

CALLS HUNGER A SENSATION
Scientist Has Analysed Cause and Ef-
feet of "Gnawing" When Ston,.
ach Is Empty.

The most commonplace and familiar
see things happening constantly about
us and yet never stop to consider
whether we understand them or not.
Hunger is an example.
Every one knows that il you go
without food for six or eight hours
you will feel "gnawing" sensation in
the pit of the stomach persistently de-
handing food. The cause of this has
been often explained, but not salts
factorily, and as often contradicted.
Dr. William B. Cannon of the Har-
ward Medical school has just com
pleted series of experiments which.
have demonstrated the direct cause
of the "gnawing'' sensation. First of
all he showed the distinction between
appetite and hunger. Appetite is
evoked by the odor of savory food or
by partaking of bitters. 1t may con-
tinue long after actual hunger is en-
tirely satiated.
Hunger is distinctly a sensation. 1t
frequently is felt when the system is
really over-supplied with food and
conversely it may be appeased by a
very small amount of food even
though the system is emaciated.
If food is altogether withheld for
an indefinite period the sensation OF
hunger disappears after the third day,
and does not return again even
though the patient dies by starvation.
This is relief to many persons, to
feel that starvation, though dreadful
and CHASTITY in its consequences. is not
necessarily painful.
DR.. Cannon's X-ray experiments
showed that under normal conditions
when the stomach has been empty
for few hours it has a tendency to
spasmodic contractions lasting for a
minute or more with intervening pc
RODS of relaxation. And these peri
DDS of muscular action were shown
to correspond exactly with the feel
ing of the sensation of hunger The
results of the experiment show plain
iy that mere emptiness of the stom-
ach is not the direct cause of hun
ger, but that this muscular action Is.

pav of the Gentleman Farmer.

AS a result partly of the widening
influence of our agricultural colleges
and partly of numerous cooperating
agencies, a new set of ideals is being
created with regard to country life.
The nation as a whole, In fact, is
making a re-estimation of rural life.
With the coming of dear lands, city
people have awakened to a new in
terest in country affairs and new
respect for country inhabitants.
There is before us in the United
States the opportunity to develop per-
haps the finest type of rural civiliza-
ton that the world has ever known.
The ownership of land in past ages
has always been most honorable, but
the working of it has been regarded
generally as degrading. The actual
farmers, equipped with their poor,
pitiable instruments, and condemned
to unceasing and disheartening toll,
have been slaves, serfs, heather,
pagans, boors peasants. But today the
use of machinery and new facilities
for communication make it possible
for the same individual to be tlller
of the soil and gentleman.-Willlam
