BERLIN. March 5.--A large con-
cert hall in Berlin is filled with a
chosen public-some 200 physicians.

the platform is a small. normal-ap-
nearing man, an Austrian from Gratz.
who calls himself To Rhama. The
little man is carefully examined by
three physicians, who pronounce him
normally sensitive. and any physician
who wishes is allowed to remain on

approaches the Austrian, takes a
number of long, thick and rusty hat
pins. and. one by one, jabs them 8
inches into his body against the thigh
bone. There is no trick. One needle
strikes against the bone with rasp
which causes the public to shudder.
The Austrian is quiet. Only his
face demonstrates the effort of his
extreme concentration. Obviously the
test is successful. To Rhama, through
the power of auto-suggestion, is i'm
mune to what otherwise would be in
tense pain.
Public Finds No Trick.
The needles are withdrawn from
his legS and he walks normally.
Then the needles are driYen through
his arms and wrists.

whose members feel of him and the
needles. There is no trick. The
wounds from the pins or needles arc
not disinfected except in one place
where a tiny red drop appears. There
is no flow of blood The test is COM
plete.
Other tests OF clairvoyance follow.
To Rhama is blindfolded and gives
amazing tests of telepathy.
Then comes the supreme moment
a chalk mark is drawn diagonally and
at random across the stage by a
casual member of the public. To
Rhama. while blindfolded, gives
careful instructions to the attendant
physicians. He intends to hypnotize
himself into a kind OF estate or
cataIeptic state. He may fail and IL
he fails he must be Immediately
interrupted by the physicians.
Then Works Himself Up.
The preparations over, he begins to
work himself up somewhat as the
writer has seen dervishes work them
selves up before beginning a dance
only To Rhama stands quiet while his
face writhes with the effort. Then
two doctors approach him and hold
his hands. To Rhama, with hesita
ton, and with horrible effort feels"
the chalking on the boards through
the soles of his perfectly normal
shoes and follows it from end to
end with his feet.
He stops. The bandages are re-
moved and the doctors feel his pulse

minute. Ten minutes later 1t has
sunk to 214.

Fillmore Tall, Cold President.

From "our Presidents by James Morgan.
Millard Fillmore, the second Vice
President to be promoted by death
(the first having been Tyler), was
the most commonplace President, even
in 20-year period when the presi-
dency remained at low water mark.
Tall and with magisterial front,
but cold and hollow. he looked the
part which he pIayed-the dummy of
Northern trfmmers in politics and OF
Southern traffickers in slaves. A
fable of the day hit off the truth.
The new President must have a car
