That this is so is shown by the experience

in the fighting at the Shipka Pass,
wounded in several places. He was car

TNHERE is a strange force existing
in the world called animal mag
netism." There can be no doubt
of that The we'll based views of ancient
sages and the modern reports of re-
searches conducted by discriminating
scientific authorities both vouch for it.
All animals, it has been proved, are
more or less possessed by a mysterious
fluid Of ethereal essence which although
ordinarily invisible, is as real as cleo
tricity itself Nay, at times it is even
more miraculous a fluid than electricity
for it can successfully be transmitted for
tremendous distances through all sorts of
obstacles regardless Of their properties.
Magnetism is a substance too subtle to
be noticed by the ordinary physical eye.
Still we are informed that certain indi-
Viduals, namely mediums and "somnam-
bulists' under favorable conditions, can
distinctly see it as emanating constantly
