Talks Several Laaguages3
The patient not only made the pre-
dietions quoted, going into details,
but talked huentIy in Georman, Ital-
fan, and Latin. He never studied CT
read any OF these languages, being
compelled to leave school when IN the
eighth grade. He has been known

Catholic church without missIrg q

on one occasion he described Mars
in detail, telling OF its geography and
Inhabitants.
In his war predictions yesterday
he gave the number OF billions Of
dollars this country will owe when
peace is signed; what the other cUUn-
tries will owe, aad how mUca will be
due from some OF them 70 tho Cnited
States for loans.
Facts and figures fell from his lips
IN startling manner. leaving a weird
impression upon the minds OF his
hearers.
When again in normal mind young
Dean remembered nothing Of what he

be far from his thoughts.
In the unconscious or subconscious
state Of mind the talks are always
upon subjects that would seldom be
