! great eagerness by pros and antis and
there even has been some rather acri-
mOnious discussion among those who
believe and those who affirm and those
who deny.
But the most astonishing incident
which has been brought to public at
tention during the whole course Of the
long-drawn-out argument is furnished
by the tragic ending Of one Alfred
Manning, aged sixty-six.
He had been unable to get work for
a considerable time and had been
much discouraged. although he had
not actually suffered in a dangerous
way from lack of food.
But he was old. tired and unsuccess-
ful-of sort and in a case which
often furnishes suicides.
Thrust Head Through Moose.
And he was found dead in his room
with his death declared to be suicide
by the coroner, although 1t could be
held to be that only by a person &C.
cepting very fully the theories of those
believing that great power lies in auto
suggestion.
When found he had been dead for
some time. kneeling at the foot of his
bed.
He had tied two corners Of a very
large handkerchief together, making a
loop which he had caught over one Of
the bed-posts.
Through the pendant cloth circlet
thus formed Manning had thrust his
head and, when he was found, his
neck rested Imply in 1t.
But the loop was large and loose:
the handkerchief would not have
pressed tightly on his throat IL his
head had not borne it's weight down
upon 1t and that scarcely could have
been achieved to the point of strangu.

In 1923 an Englishman by the name
OF Bruce was travelling in Assam, the
northeast province Of India. At that
time Assam had no commerce. 1t was
