HYPNOTIZING ANIMALS.
Even the Deadly Cobra May Be Made
Perfectly Passive.

Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old ex-
pertinent, first described by the Jesuit
father, Athanasius Kircher, who laid
q hen on the table, held it firmly for
a little while and drew a chalk line
In front of its eyes, with the result
that 1t remained as if IN a catalepsy.
In India it is known that cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and turned
suddenly upside down goes into a
trance. Other animals are susceptible
to this treatment, some more quickly
than others.
If you pick up a crab and wave it in
the air it becomes immobile, female
bending her legs over her abdomen, a
male sticking them out almost straight.
The same is true of the fresh water
crayfish, only this resists for a much
longer time than a crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-com-
monty known as death feigning"-is
common, and, according to Professor
Ernst Mangold, the learned German
naturalist, is often means of saving
the life Of the insect.
According to Mangold, the hypnotic
condition is induced in man by sug-
gestion or physical inhibition, in ami
mails by mechanical inhibition, but
In both cases sensory stimuli may as
sist. These stimuli may be optic (ix-
ing the gaze on some objecD, or tactile
(stroking the skim, or otherwise Some
times an absence of wonted stimuli
may induce the state, as in the case

MINIATURE TREES.
Simple Plan by Which Plants May Be
Dwarfed In the Growing.


For many centuries the Japanese
have closely guarded the secret of
growing miniature trees. Indeed, un-
til recently they did not allow the
trees to be taken out of the country;
wealthy people keep them as art
treasurers. Now. in America, dwarf
trees bring a good price and are used
as house plants and table decorations,
By following the plan here described
almost any one can raise diminutive
trees with little trouble
Get a few large, thick skinned
oranges and halve them. Remove the
pulp and cover the outside Of the
skins with thick shellac That will
keep the skins from shriveling. Fill
the skins with fine, rich soil, and plant
therein a seed of whatever tree you
wish to raise-or rather two or three
seeds, to insure at least one good spect.
men.
Make a stand of some kind SO that
the growing tree can be kept in an
upright position and set the plants
where they will get plenty of sun, but
do not keep them in a room that is
likely to become overheated. Water
them regularly, but not too profusely.
After time the roots will begin to
come through the orange peel. When
that happens cut the roots off flush
with the outer surface of the orange
peel, but be careful not to injufe the
film of shellac.
1t is the cutting of the roots that
stunts the plants When the tree has
reached maturity you can transfer 1t
to more attractive holder. Conifers
such as cedars, pines and cryptomerias
can be readily stunted; so also can
other evergreens, as lex and Citrus
trifoliata Some dwarf cedars have
been known to live more than 500
years Fruit trees, such as the orange
and plum, blossom and bear perfect
fruit-Youths Companion

ANCIENT WRITING.
Tfe history of Man Began When an
Alphabet Was Devised.


Perhaps the most valuable inven-
ton after the making of languages
was that of writing, says a writer in
Students Investigations" Picture
writing was the first used by primi-
tive men, such as was and still is used
by the Indian tribes of the new world
The characters in this system of writ
Ing were pictures of objects very crude
in art, as for instance the picture OF
the eye, to indicate the organ of sight,
and then again symbols for ideas were
drawn, such as picture of an arc,
representing the sky and wayy lines
beneath, thus indicating rain. This
system of representing ideas and OBJ
jects, which is the most natural to
man, is known as ideographic, and the
signs are called kilograms.
When the picture writer used sym
bols to represent the sounds of the
human voice-that Is, words and not
objects or ideas--he took a great step
In perfecting the system of writing
When symbols are used to represent
words the ideogram becomes a phono-
gram, and the writing is called pho
netic or sound writing. The Babyloni
ans and Assyrians used characters to
represent syllables instead of words,
thus reducing the number of signs
used in their writing to a few hun
dred When characters or symbols
are used to represent syllables they
are called syllable phonograms, and s.
collection of such signs is called a syl-
labary.
But still this system was clumsy,
and final step was taken in the max
Ing of an alphabet, the symbols being
used to represent elementary sounds
of the human voice instead Of sylla-
bles. The symbols then became true
letters, a collection of which is called
the alphabet, the writing alphabet
When and where the first alphabet
was made is not known, but several
Semitic tribes were in possession of
an alphabet as early as the ninth cen
tury B. G. 1t may truthfully be said
that the history of man begins here,
for without an alphabet records, dates,
names and events could not have been
recorded and preserved for us.
