nOsis differs from mans in the absence
of the suggestion, the rapport, and the
deeper stages. 1t may be induced in an
tmals without a cerebrum, which indi-
Gates that the psychological factor is
unimportant. Physiologically considered,
however, the more typical forms of ami
NAL hypnosis must be ranked beside hu-
man hypnosis, and studied in this light.
The resemblances are many. The
sleeplike state is induced in man by sug-
gestion or physical inhibition, in animals
by mechanical inhibition, but in both
cases sensory stimuli may assist These
stimuli may be optic fixing the gaze on
some object), or tactile (stroking the
skim, or otherwise. Sometimes an alb
sence of wonted stimuli may induce the
state, as in the case OF absolute silence.
The awakening may be brought about
by sounds shaking, currents of air, or
electric shocks; or it may occur spon-
taneously. There is a great specific and
individual diversity in susceptibility; the
easier the inducing Of the hypnosis, the
deeper and more lasting it is. The mus
cular tonus changes Enthusiastically;
resistance to fatigue IL increased. Re
fexes are affected by the altered tonus
Sensitiveness to touch and to pain may
be greatly lessened, and operations may
be performed during hypnosis. But the
senses remain awake, and, except in the
deeper phases In man, memory partly
persists.

Any Animal Is Subject to Hypnotic Influence;
Rod in Biblical Legend Really "Charmed" Snake

A RE animals subject to hypnotic in
"a fuence? Yes, almost any animal
may be hypnotized, although, like
mankind, some are more susceptible than
others. The rod that the Egyptian mu-
sicians turned into a serpent before the
eyes of Pharaoh really was a hypnotized
snake, say some biblical authorities.
Anyone can perform the same feat with
a snake simply by catching the serpent
behind the head and pressing it gently
with the fingers. The snake will stiffen
itself and remain rigid for some time.

hours. 1t has been shown that the transit
tion from one state to the other can in
this creature be effected almost In a
moment.
Fabre notes that one Of the large
ground-beetles, which a shake sends into
a lasting catalepsy, is voracious, well
armored, nocturnal, and unpalatable.
What has IL to do with death-feigning?
Cases of this sort suggest that the cata-
leptic tendency may be simply q con-
comitant of certain type of nervous
constitution, and that il 1t only occa-
sionally turned to advantage.
According to Mangold, the character
istics Of human hypnosis are: that it is
a sleeplike state, induced by suggestion:
that 1t implies rapport between the
kypnotizer and the patient, and an in
creased amenability to suggestion; that
it involves an inhibited power Of Iocomo-
ton and of righttng the body, a change
in muscular tonus-from the initial in
crease to somewhat sudden decrease
and a change in sensitiveness.
Suggestion is a psychically conditioned
effect, for which the physiological slim
illus seems TO be inadequate.
Little is known in regard to the hyp-
nosis in the highest animals. like dogs
and cats, the amenability of which to
human influence is well known, but in
ordinary cases it may, be concluded, &C
cording TO Mangold, that animal hyD-

is usually effected experimentally by
fastening them to a board and turning
this suddenly upside down. Frogs are
readily susceptible, and nevis also will
submit
In back-boped animals the state Of
immobility is scarcely known except in
artificial conditions, and scarcely can be
of much Importance in life. 1t Is other
wise, however, when we pass to the
analogous "death-feigning" or catalepsy
in certain beetles, water-bugs, stick-tn-
sects, and spiders. The immobility occurs
in natural conditions, and it seems often
to save the life.
When we lift a shore-crab, holding
the shield between finger and thumb,
and wave it in the air, II becomes i'm
mobile, but the two sexes dispose their
limbs in different ways, the female bend
ing them in over the abdomen, as IL pro-
tecting the eggs.
The familiar case of the fresh-water
.crawfish is interesting, because the crea-
ture does not pass suddenly into hyp-
nosis, but usually resists for a consider
able time: 1t may be fixed in any posi-
ton OF equillbrium--on its head, on its
back, or even in its normal pose.

the ideal medium of instruction. Now

II is now annoying to the duke that

tivity would Indicate" that I had in my

The duke is surprised at all those
mercenary individuals who are Fostering
him with unpaid bills, service warrants,
rumors Of divorce and other unpleas-
antries.
He refuses to be worried about these
trifles. He is not bankrupt, he is not
running away from his creditors; the
duchess and he are on the best of terms;
his debts will be paid as soon as his
financial affairs adjust themselves"
The sudden mobilization Of creditors
of the duke recently, the duke explained,
was simply due to a delay he had suf-
fered in getting a personal check which
he expected before he went to Philadel-
phia and Canada. The check was in

after II was moved into the office. Many
people attended the sale just to get an
idea of how a real duke would furnish
his Office when he entered into business.
Their idea of the luxurious in Office fur
niture was completely satisfied.
One of the first articles to be sold was
a massive mahogany roll top desk of
beautiful design. 1t was at this that His
Grace sat when he was a moving picture
manager and when he gave lengthy in
terviews to the reporters. A revolving
desk chair of mahogany of eXpensiveness
to match also went with it. Felt top
desks. typewriter desks, office rugs,
chairs and pictures all of an elaborate
sort and suitable for the furnishings Of

dent to say the least. He never gave me
an engagement ring. The only presents
he ever made me were books magazines
and flowers. The fact that he gave me
no wedding ring was not so peculiar as
it seems because he had the reputation
OF being a tightwad.
He did his love making every place
at my home. in Broadway hotels and res
taurants. He even told my maid how
much he loved me so she could tell me-"

In August Of last year the duchess

To dance II one had first patiently
to practice walking up stairs instead of
using the elevator. When you were quite
familiar with the movement required to
walk from one step to another all you
had to do was to repeat this movement
in the ballroom. The dance went-eight
steps forward, eight steps backward,
raising the knees as much as possible;
glide sideways as fast as possible and
repeat the first eight steps each way.
Without intending to hurt the feelings
said the dance was silly and that the
reason it had any popularity at all was
because it was excellent to take off su-
perfluous flesh

Lifeboats were lowered into the water
in hurry and after minutes Of wild ex-
element the crew of the yacht managed
to get the duke and the duchess and the
rest of the party into the boats and row
them to shore. The rest OF the night
they were cared for by Indians and the
next day set out on horseback for a
Colombian port. whence they chartered
a steamer for home.
Shortly after they we're motoring to-
gether near Poughkeepsie with Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt when a party Of Joy
riders overlook them and threw stones
and other missiles into the Vanderbilt
car as they passed.
The duchess was hit without being
much hurt and the hooligans escaped.
Who they were it was never found out
and whether the bombarding OF the mo-
tor car was simply an accident or an
attack planned out by persons feeling
they had grievances against the pair is
still a mystery. .
