In Vienna there has recently been
widespread interest In public demon
strations Of telepathy and hypnotism.
But the effects upon spectators and
mediums were so bad that several
times they got into the courts. In one
case the hypnotist could not arouse
his medium from the trance: In others
actual crimes were attempted through
hypnotic influence, and many nervous
persons we're seriously deranged.
In view of these facts the board Of
health has forbidden all such demon

IMAGINATION WON WEALTH
Joseph OlIer Invented the Pari-Mutue!
System of Betting and Founded
Many Resorts.

Oller, the inventor Of the pari-mutuel
system Of betting, is dead. \ little old
man, hard Of hearing ana bowed, the
name of Joseph Oller was n to con-
lure with 60 years ago in France. He
made a fortune by his imagination,
which enabled him TO transform the
whole system of betting, according TO
an exchange. And this is how he did
II. When he appeared on the scene
betting was nothing more than Il lot
terry. Bulletins were put into a hat,
stakes were deposited, ana the mar
who drew the winning number took
the sweep. This system often led to
disagreeable results, for the cashier
did not always pay up; he disappeared
with the stakes. In order to Go away
with qqarrels and frauds Joseph i'm
agined Il pooling agency, which he
ran by means of Il special carriage
painted yellow, ana containing several
compartments in which were clerks,
who were receiving bets Of > up to
100 francs. A numbered wheel was
turned, and before each race the
hackers drew horses which CORE
sponded TO their tickets. After the
race the amount of the pool, less the
sums going to the holders Of tickets
bearing the numbers of the horses
which had been placed, and commits
sion, was handed over to the winner.
Oilers system was an instantaneous
success. His betting carriage was be-
sieged by crowds, and not infrequently
there were fights. Soon he had to in
crease his rolling stock, and his bet
ting vans were 10 be seen on all the
Paris race courses.
BY ana by he had rivals, but again
his imagination came to his rescue,
and he invented Il new system, which
was nothing less than the pari-mutuel
at present in Use, with the difference.
that Ollcr deducted ten per cent, which
was reduced to five per cent when
the business began TO flourish.
Oller had other activities, other
claims to fame. lie founded that IA
nous Paris Pleasure resort, the Moulin
Rouge, also the NOuveau Cirque, and
installed q Switchback railway which
had a run Of success lasting several
years. 1t subsequently became Olym-
pia. He also created the Jardin de
Paris and Luna park. On account OF
his Austrian origin, Oller saw his en-
terprises placed under sequestration
when war broke out, but he resumed
the direction of them after the armis-
tlce. He was immensely clever, an in
cellent character.

Mules Are Fed Raw Eggs.

Al TRANSFORMATION in Rhutan IS on
the backs of animals, and Il queer
array of.tWo and four-footcd creatures
il is. ranging from coolies at one end
of the scale to pack-Sheep at the other
end including elephants, mules, don
keys, ponies, yaks and oxen. Mules
are the standby for use OH the noun
tain sails. and the BhutaneSe manage
To keen them in good condition despite
their strenuous employment. Whether
their odd custom of feeding the mules
q concentrated emergency ration of
raw eggs has anything to do with the
rood condition Of the pack animals is
not clear; certainly there are few
sights uueerer than that of Bhutanese
mule tenders. just before a strenuous
climb. breaking eggs like an American
soda-water vender, dumping them into
a horn. and pouring them down the
threats Of the animals.
one Of the most distinctive things
about Bhutan is its architecture. Re
ligiCn and wal have been the chief
factors in mOlding it. Most OF the
villages or towns are citadels or forts
and mOnasterics combined. And they
are truly castles i'm the air"-huge
piles usually perched on some dom
mating ridge or cliff brink or against
the side of q seemingly unattainable
precipice. One striking architectural
feature is that all the walls have a
distinct slope inward as they rise.
The observer wonders where this form
of architecture came from; whether
il came from this remote and mac
cesSable region in the ~IIimalayaS
through the Akkadians, B~abylOnians,
AsSyrians and Persians from Egypt or
whether the center from which the art
spread was founded by a race which
had it's habitat somewhere in AsIS.
Not many years ago Bhutan was the
scene Of seemingly unending wars and
raids between factions of its turbulent
hillmen. 1t was ruled jointly by n
religious and lay ruler. Since 1907 Ii
has become a kingdom and peace scenes
