Long Freight Trains Likely to Crumple Up at Any Time. We wish to draw attention to the fact that this catastrophe at Harrisburg shows in a dramatic way wbat a great peril the passenger trains on four -track railroads are exposed to in having to E sweep past the whole length of the I many forty and fifty car freight trains which they meet so frequently in tra- veling through busy manufacturing dis- tricts such as those traversed by the Pennsylvania railroad. It is a fact well understood by rail- road men that the enormous length to which freight trains have grown of ate years exposes them to exactly the kind 1 of accident which caused the recent die- aster—namely, the crumpling up of the . train when the brakes are suddenly op- plied if the action of the brakes is not uniform throughout the whole length of e' t tri f it freight ht train f for. the train. Io or fifty cars, and weighing over 2,000 tons is travelling say, twenty miles an hour and the air brakes are applied and act simultaneously and with equal effi- • ciency on every car the whole train would be brought to rest without Any danger of crushing- ter displacing the ears. But if the action of the brakes should be set hard on say, only the first half or third of the train, the en- ormous momentum of the last half or two-thirds, expanding itself on the per• tion upon which the brakes are in full action, brings a crushing strain and they are forced into one another sidewise up- on the adjoining tracks. It is well known among railroad then that accidents of this kind are extreme- ly frequent and that they constitute a standing menace to fast trains on the ad- joining passenger tracks—a menace that cannot be safeguarded by signals, not, at least, if the wreck should take place when the express is within a short dis- tance of or passing fhe freight train, This is one of the perils to which the re- cent rapid growth of freight traffic soul. the endeavor to cheapen its transporta- tion by using enormous engines and trains of exaggerated lengtih have brought us.

Much has been written and said lately by .men of high mental and moral duality about the excellences of hypno- • tlsan, By its use people could be healed of certaia diseases. Under its influences powers the possession of which the own- ers were hardly conscious of found ex- ' pression. Evil habits and tendencies were overcome. Dr. Mary E. Sellen, of New York, who has been studying the effects of hypnotism for a number of . years in different parts of the country, recently declared at a meeting of the Medico -Legal Society that site was con- vinced that hypnotism has a dangerous side. "My experiences 'with hypnotism for the last fifteen years," she said the other day, "has discouraged me as to its value. It tends to lessen the individuality of the person hypnotized and renders the subject more or less receptive to outside influences. This is illustrated in the re- cent Wood or Wolff trial. In this in- stance there was a belief in another per- sonality. "It is no doubt equally true that many physical, and sometimes mental, troubles are helped through hpynotism, when tete aperator—for so much depeuds upon that —15 conscientious in his suggestions and in sound health both mentally and Phys- } ically.

The dangers of hypnotism are ! dally well illustrated two young men I know in Cincinnati. They were very bright young fellows, wh.o had come from ! the west of the Missouri River to studty. They became members of a class of 111- ( teen or sixteen persons formed to invite- : tigat'e hpynotism. The two were used as subjects for the purposes of the investi- gation, and were always hypnotized by the same person. The hypnotic state was induced two or three times in the course of the evening. After about three months of experimenting I notieed that their opinion was always that of the hpyno- tist. They seemed to have opinions of their own, but they usually appealed to him for support. I was convinced that they had lost their own individuality, and had become, mentally, part of the hypnotist. Six months later I left the city. Returning, after an absence of three years, I learned that one of the young men had been placed in an insane asylum. The other was able to follow usual vocation, but was queer in his actions and not firm in 'his opinions. Pre- viously they were perfectly nonmal: "Another illustration is the case of a fifteen -year-old girl, the bright and prom- ising daughter of an Ohio farmer. Her father had given up the study of ]tpyno- ism a tand had. A investigated ated s irittlalisin. %Ie conceived the notion that by putting his daughter in a hypnotic state he could oemmunicate through her with the deiad. He hypnotized her two or three times a week. At the end of two weeks he began to question lier when hypnotized. 'Do you see anything?' be would ask. She would describe persons whom he believed to have died. "Up to this time the girl bad always been at the head of her clan in school. Her father continued to hypnotize her at intervals for a year. Little by little the girl grew morose and stupid. At times she would refuse to eat. She lost inter- est in her school work and no longer cared to mingle with her , former com- panions. Many of her father's friends warned liim against persisting further with .the experiments. When I last heard from the family he was still carry- ing on his experiments through his daughter, refusing to believe that she was in any way nffected by them. "The case of Mr. Washburn, a wheat dealer of Buffalo, who killed his wife and daughter and then committed suicide, is surely food for thought to .the seeker after truth. It appears he was President Roosevelt's double, even to glasses. IIe was a ltardlleatlod business .man, but somehow be got the idea that he could help the disembodied spirits of the dead. He thought it was a mission imposed upon him. He finally found a medium, who agreed to bring him into communi- cation with the spirits.

I am not a 'believer in spiritualism, but I certainly Beard twenty-five or thirty voices around me. Mr. Washburn continued these se- ances for two or three years.

Amazing wonders are being wrough William Waldorf Astor, the Amer can milionaire and naturalized British subject upon the historic Hever estat in Kent, which he recently purchase The artistic owner is spending mon with lavish hand in beautifying the ex panse of 2,000 acres that spread arou the old moated castle. Though th cost of the undertaking is probably no definately known to Mr. Astor himsel the popular 'estimate is that a millio and a quarter pounds will be expende upon the improvements during the sex two years. There is no busier area in Industria England to -day. .About a thousand me of all trades have taken up their rest donee in the neighborhood, Recently the Daily Mirror paid a visit to the place, which nestles at the foot of a hill The road which hitherto led close t thio castle has been diverted, and no passes some hundred yards furthe away. To make this new road it has been necessary to build two bridges eve the river Eden, which winds through the estate. Round the castle masons and car- penters are building a picturesque model vilage toned to harmonize with the gray old walls of the castle. A bridge build across the moat joins the new buildings with the old. But the most gigantic part of the work is the making of a lake where formerly green meadows stretched. This lake will cover an area of nearly fifty acres and will be sixteen feet in depth. In its present topsy-turvy state the estate suggests Clapham Junction, for everywhere run railway lines, and fussy little engines sport up and down. Each day seven hundred and fifty truckloads of soilarec tri catried awayto oke m a bed for the great lake. Round the outer edge of the estate runs a fine deer fence• and a and is being dug. High up on the hill a model farm has been built, with every modern and most per- fect appliance. Close behind the castle Italian garden is being laid out, sur- rounded by high walls with manw rich- es and stone brackets for statues. The utmost rigor is observed to keep the public from entering the estate and from taking photographs of the build- ing as it rises. Workmen have been dis- charged at a'nioment's notice who have tried to snapshot the operations. Only a few days ago a well known member of the peerage motored over for the purpose of taking a snapshot or two of the place. No allowance was made for the distinguished visitor; he had to depart empty handed. Mr. Astor himself tabes the keenest interest in his great project, and is con- stantly down at Mester Castle watch- ing the working of the miracle.
