31 OUST POPOCATAPETL.

The Thrllllnjr Story of a Wonderful Ascent. An American's Eprlenc With th Orea Mfxlcan Volcano A Climb to the Summit and a Descent Into the Crater. Philadelphia Eoeor.l. Itinarl two year tacugh it seems bat jfctterJay since I stood on the summit of Mount Popocatepetl. It was while ascending the Plains of Mexico that the party of which I was a number first caught sight of the cone of Popocatapetl, with it diadem of snow, piercing the tky. A trip t j the summit was often d'ncueed by us, but we were discouraged by the stories told us by the natives of the craggy precipice, deep gullies, snow, ice and intense co!4 which we should encounter, and that none but an Indian could reach the top. So when we reached Tuebla, whence we had 1 intended to start on the a?cent, the party had become quite disheartoned. Cut on arriving at the City of Mexico, Mr. George Skilton, brother of the American Consul, who has made the ascent, gave us so much encouragement that we decided to try iL He introduced us to General Caspar Sanchos Cvha, owner of the volcano, who kindly gave us permission to make the- ascent, and promised ü . every facility. About daybreak of February 1879. Mr. H&ines, of Camden. N. J., and myself started on a Mexican stage coach, at full gallop the only gait it seems to know out of the grand square and through the southern gate of the city, with Lake Tezeocu reflecting the light ot the risingsun, and the white dome of Popocatapet ahead, 1ÜO miles distant. We reached ChaU-j, forty miles distant, about 11 o'clock, and four-hours later we reached Miraflores, r where we left the stage, accepting an invition from a Mr. Robertson, to whom we had letters.antl who was exceedingly hospitable, 'to remain over night. He is the proprietor of the large factories here and the owner of the town. Starting next morning wo reached tho old city of TalmaLaleo, now mostly in ruin?, and soon after arrived in Ameca, at the foot of the mountain. Here our guide conducted us to the house of the Superintendent of the sulphur works at the volcano, who had beer, advised of our coming through letters from General Ocha, and instructed to provido guides and the necessary oufit, for u3. He could speak a little Eagliih and took great interest in us. He soon had our guide ready four Indians on foot and one with horses to go as far as possible to ride. Our outfit, bes.des provisions, consisted of tiannels to wrap around u?, sandals for our feet, eL "We were told that the trip might take a week, and that few had succteJed in making the accent, and those, under the most favorable circumstances. The afternoon was spent about the beautiful town of Ameca, which is famous as the annual gathering place for worship of tha natives. . This being the seasoD. by a happy chance, wc had a very interesting view of the sacred mount, several hundred feet high; and I thought, n lEtood on its summit and looked over the mass of worshipers, with tho beautiful city below, while seemingly a little wSy off was the towering mountains, that this scene alone was wrih the trip to Mexico, and felt amply repaid wer? we to go no further. The mornot tho otn dawned beautiiul, as all ninir do in Mexico, and we were ud v and anxious for the trip. "We could ly seo the crater, apparently about the )t' a barrel, although we wre told it three miles in circumference. Volumes iokn and steam wer a rnnttantlv ecpnrlj 1 Tho summit appeirtd in the shape of 'Ty-stack with a w trite sheet drawn over J All being ready, we started for the , iset.it about S o'clock. For about three (miles our route was through a lovely valley. ")t:r 'path was overhung with climbing vines, tropical trees and shrubs which fluni? their gay blossoms in the morning breeze. Soon we began a rapid ascent and began to enjoy views beyond description. Next we wt-ra in the region of pines, and the tropical plant? were seen no more. Northern plants had taken their place the familiar spruce, the Balm of Giletd and white pine trees, unknown in the lower country while the hevy undergrowth had disappeared and we could almost imagine ourselves in our .uative land. At 1 o'clock, at an elevation f 10,000 feet, we reached what appeared to be a level plain between the "White Lady and Popocatapetl, with no vegetation but the rich pampns grass, and for about two miles we rode through the waviDg pampas tassel, which were to tall that we could scarcely see each other's he ids. Here we had been told the robber bands would be waiting for us, but we passed in safety. We next reached a regio" of pine3 entirely, und the ascent became very steep. Unfortur.eaely for us our guide .cou'd not

They bring the sulphur from the crater on sledge to this point, and from here carry i on mules to the city. We were at an elevation of about 13,000 feet, and after a good dinner we proceeded to view the scenery. It was truly sublime. The elevation w&3 more than twice ai great as Mount Washington, while the summit still raised its snow-white head above us to a height nearly equal to the highest peak cf the White Mountains. Night came on, and as wo spread our blankets for the niglit around the fire at tho line of perpetual winter our feelings were strange, indeed. It was a bright moonlight night long to be remem bered, and the sky Beemed one vastma;s of stars. We intended to make an early start, but our guides devoted their time to our preparation, and in spite of our efforts it was not until day was dawning that we wero in. the saddle on the morning of the Gth. ,We intended to go as far as possible on horseback, but had not proceeded far when we farao to a tearful ravine.

before daylight. "We passed it tafely, and I r- though the snow here became quite deep, 1 up we went until at length the guides in- . formed us by signs that the horses could go pi no farther. The guide in charge of the I beasts turned back and we struck out on

" foot, the other iruiJes tkin?r the lead. The , C7 O ascent by this time bad become very steep, and only by 'zg movements could we get along The wind, too, was blowing a gale directly in our faces, and occasionally the sulphur and smoke from the crater woujd be so strong that we could scarcely get our breath. At length we reached a high rock upon which there wa a cross, but who placed it there, why, or for what, we could not learn. "We were now within 2,000 feet of the summit. My friend Haines said he could go no further, and de clared it impossible to reach the summit Ope guide returned with him, while the other three remained with me; and never hall I forget those faithful Indians. With the aid of a rope, with two Indians ahead and one behind, I toiled on. The ascent bo-

ctme very difficult, the least exertion putting

me out of breath, while a sup oi tue loot would completely exhaust me. I could see, however, that every Tort brought me nearer the crater, and alhot-.-h nearly exhausted I was encouraged wit) the prospect of triumph. At length the summit was reached about 12 o'clock, and I fell exhausted on tho brink of the crater. I proceeded to enter tho crater where it was much worn, and after I becamo somewhat rested Idescended the first xone several hundred feet into the volcano, and as far as I could go unless I were let down by a rope. From my position in the f rst zone" with the aid of my glass I was enabled to get a good view of the crater. Around hung huge masses of sulphur, interspersed with icicles the size of hogsheads and hundreds of feet long, while before me was the huge abyss, whose bottom I could not see, sending up volumes of smoke and steam from the center. Wo could remain perfectly safe and comfortable around the sides but after an hour's stay we ascended to the top, and the grand view I theie obtained I can not describe. The erater is abouf one mile across, and has the appearance of a large funnel whose bides are but little inclined, and tho bottom not visible. There seems to be three distinct rings, which divido it into four zones, tho largest being that near the mouth. From the summit the (Jity of Mexico, although over 100 miles away, was plainly visible, and, surrounded by lakes, as it is, seemed like a maniScent gem set around with pearls. The whole great Valley of Mexico can be teen at a glance. At our feet lay Ameca, over thirty miles distant, with its luxurious growth A tropical plants and orange groves and banana plantations, and on the right Puebla and the old cities ofChilulo and Tascalla, with their CCj churches and spires. The distant mountain of Grizaba, nearly 200 milts away, the snowy peaks of Melenena, the White Lady, and several others in the distance, stood arraved before me. I felt fully repaid for mv toil in bavins climbed the highest mountain in North America, whose summit is about 18,000 feet above the sea level, and prepared for tho descent, a matter that had net given me much thought. AN ith an Indian on each side of me I started down at a fearful gait. It took but a few moments to slido down a spaco that took many weary steps to ascend, and at 2 o'clock w e arrived at the cabin, where we started in the morning, feeling much overcome. After a lunch aüd another horseback ride of thirty-seven miles we reached Ameca about J o'clock in the evening. Not until the guides reported it one of the most difficult ascents they had ever made, did I realizo that I had accomplished so much. We left Ameca next morning at 6 o'clock, and alter another of those Mexican stage rides, that 1 was not in the same mood to enjoy, we reached the City of Mexico after five- days experience long to De remembered.

It was on his departure to Mexico 4,to revel" as he said in the Halls of the Montezumas," that he again met with Major llector, a generous and genial man known as the original of ' The Fine Arkansas Gentleman." In company with Major Arnold Harris, also well-known in New Orleans, who was then perhaps a Deputy Marshal, they journeyed to Southeastern Arkansas, to which point their route was the same. General Sra Houston rode an Indian pony very disproportionate to his own tall stature. This was a source of considerable annoyance to him. He had become thoroughly disgusted with Indian life, was intemperate and ill-tempered. His constant theme of discussion was the unworthy appearance in a foreign country, mounted on an animal so ignoble, with a frequent appeal to Arnold Harris to swap his large bay mare for his Indian pony. These propositions were discussed for several days with all tho energy and eloquence of the General, one of whose favorite exclamations waä: "This d d bobtailed pony is a disgrace. He is continually fighting the flies and has no means of protecting himself, and bis kicks and contortions render his rider ridiculous. I shall be the laughter of all Mexico. I wish a steed appropriate to my own stature. I require a steed with his natural weapon, a flowing tail, that he may defend himself against his enemies -as-, his master has done. Harris, you must swap!" As the result of persistent expostulation. aided bv a liberal arrangement of boot." effected and guaranteed by Major Rector, the General acquired the broom tailed mare, and recovered his dignity and good humor. When they came to part, Major Hector said he was sorry for-him. He knew his worth and felt for his misfortunes. He had got so low, said the Major, that he couldn't stay with the Indians He was desperate and intemperate, and was going among the Mexicans, so that would be the last he would ever 6ee ot poor Tom Houston. They dismourtod to take a lat drink of whisky together. ,4General," said Elias, 'you said you liked that razor of mine when you shaved. Yor are going where it may not be convenient to buy one, and I can get another when I get back; suppose you take it along?' So he took the razor out of his saddlebags and pr3eented it. General Houston opened the razor, strapped it on his hand, looked at its edge, and as he shut it carefully up, and replacing it in tho case, said: ''Major Ucctor, this is apparently a gift of little value, but it is an inestimable testimonial of the friendship that has lasted many years and proved steady under the blasts of calumny and in justice. Gdd-bye. God bless you. When next you see this razor it rhkll bo shaving the President if a Republic, bv Godl" These last words Major Hector remembered distinctly. They were impressed upon his memory bv the battle of S.tn Tacinto. the recognition of Texan inde pendence and the election of General Sam Houston to the Executive Chair. Frugal and Simple. New York Sund "I am,' said Thomas Jefferson, "for a Government rigorously frugal and simple." The followers of Jefferson will find their account in being honestly and consistently for the .same thing. The phrase quoted em braces alt the government that is, necessary to the well being of the country. Frugality is the parent of oflicial honestv and ac countability, while extravagance in expend itures is the parent of corruption and centralization. A frugal and simple Government collects only such taxes as are necessary for the performance of its own functions, such as the administration of justice ami the common defense. It raises no fund for commercial or industrial enterprises; it takes nothing from the ieople to give away in tho form, of subsidies. A 'frugal and simple Government cuts down its civil list to the number absolutely required f ?r the public business. It maintain-no army, for which k has no other employment than that of overawing the people or their representatives. It is never the victim of ring jobbery and plunder because its revenues are too slender or too well guarded by law to tempt the thief. The Democrats of the Forty-fourth Congress entered upon a policy calculated to secure this aort of Government. When they cut down the expenditures they struck at all the most alarming tendencies, from centralization of power to petty official larceny. That policy won the approval of the people, and ought to be faithfully pursued.

The Protestant Episcopal Church is asked to contribute $158,000 to foreign missions this year. The youthful evangelist, Harrison, ha3 been gathering a harvest of about 105 converted sinners at Meriden, Conn. Great excitement attends his efforts. One of the Methodist journals remarks that even if it be true that General Scholield permitted priests and women to mi ddle with boy cadets, General Howard 'ought to mind his own business churthwise. The religious necrology of the past year includes the names of IJishop Gilbert Haven, George Ripley, Dr. Samuel Osgood, Dr. Henry A. Boardman, Dr. William Adams, Lucretia Mott, Dr. E. H. Chapin. There arc three clergymen in the Protestant Episcopal Church who have remained for half a century in tho same parish: Kev. Dr. Morton, of St. James Church, Philadelphia; llev. Dr. "N illiam Shelton, of Buffalo; and liev. Dr. Edson. In his last Eacylical, Leo XIII, exhorts the patriarchs, Archbishop?, and Bishops of the Catholic world to stimulate their flocks to give theirj prayers, work, and contributions in aid of the apostolic foreign missions as represented by the work of tho Societies for the Propagation of tho Faith, of the Holy Infancy of Jesus Christ, and for tho Schools in the East. A clergyman who served a long term as chaplain to a jail in a Southern city declares that none of tho prisoners, either white or black, ever showed any penitence for their misdeeds, or acknowledged that they had done wrong. In murder case3 few who were sentenced to be hanged would express ßorrow lor sin in a general way, but not for the particular sin for which they were to hang. His experience leads him to think that imprisoned criminals are a hard lot, yet not utterly beyond hope. The fanaticism of some of the Sanctificatiotists in Texas has far outstripped the doings of. any of thel'erfecticniste in this part of the country. Among some of the Texans it has taken the wildest forms, such as the personation of Christ, and imagination on tho part of the fanatics that they have been in Heaven. A Sanctificationist is now wandering in Trinity Uottunis, believing, or pretending to believe, that he is Christ, lie wears a loose cotton gown and has wooden sandals on his feet. On his head he wears a crown of thorns. A clergyman of Troy, Tiev. Mr. Hamlin, came near finding out, on Christmas night, exactly how disagreeable it is to be hanged. This gentleman was not a malefactor, but, On the contrary, was the victim of five tipsy ruffians who asked him for money, and then prepared to take vengeance on him because he refused to grant their demands. Happily tho attack was before his own door. The ruffians were adjusting a rope around Mr. Hamlin's neck in order to hang him to a convenient lamp post. Iiis screams brought his wife and a neighbor, through whoso efforts Mr. Hamlin was released and his assailants put to flight. In the controversy the neighbor was stabbed, anl Mrs. Hamlin's eye was blackened. SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP. An inventor thinks he has solved the problem of propelling lioats in canals and rivers by means of ejecting water from the boat. Unlike his predecessors, ne makes use not of a large pipe, but of a great number ot tubes with very small outlet. Although he had examined over 100 hearts of children and grown-up people. Dr. Langier discovered blood vessels in the heart values in only one case, that of a woman sixty, in whom they were evidently the result of a pathological process. It seems that the application of a tuningfork to the web of 'the garden Epider will not only entice the insect toward it, but even cause tho spider to act toward a fly di owned in a repulsive substance as though the fly were alive and without so disagreeable a sauce. Dr. Comes, of the Naples Academy, finds in hi3 later researches that light favors the transpiration of plants which attains its maximum shortly after midday; that, other things being equal, the organ transpires most which is the most highly colored, and that it emits most water when exposed to that part of the solar spectrum where it absorbs most light; and that only those luminous rays which are absorbed favor the transpiration of an organ. A new method of obtaining grain in photo-engraving has been introduced by Major Waterhouse. He pressos sand or gla.js paper into gelatine reliefs, and as the shadows contain a thicker layer of the gela tine, and as, therefore, the sand or glass is more strongly forced in, a very perceptible grain is produced. A farmer living at Jochenstein, Bavaria, frequently noticed a stone plate about two and a-half metres squ ire in a wood belonging to him. Curiosity at length prompted him to see what might be undtr the stone, and A short time ago he had it raised. He was rewarded by the discovery, in excellent preservation, of the following bronze articles: JSix head rings, four spiral bracelets haviHg each nine twists, and two battleaxes. Professor K. Falb, in ono of his late lectures, attributes earthquakes to subterranean volcanic outbreaks, produced by the cooling action of the hot liquid interior of the earth in conjunction with tho attraction of the moon. The Nature sas that in sup port of his opinion, ho cites the fact "that most carthquakos occur when the sun is nearest us, viz., in January; fewest in June; also, that tha number of earthquakes increases in the months of April and October because of the strong attraction of the sun on March '21 and September 23 " . A new theory of earthquakes has been ad vanced by Dr. Novak. " He consideres that besides tho rotation of the earth on its axis and its revolution round the sun, & multipli city of motions of the earth appear in spacg in virtue of which the earth's axis and the .-Kift fhoi Biti TVita - variation of the forcea influencing the earth's

One of the mott singular events that.ever arose in the experience of railroad men came across the engineer, fireman and brakeman on the Chicago, Kock Island and Pacilic ex press which left Daveniort for Council Bluffs the evening of Thursdav. The train pulled out of this city, James Bay nor conductor, at 4-.10 o clock, lhc weather was bitter cold that night, it will be remembered, the mercurv falling to fifteen decrees below zero. Nothing unusual har pened until after the train had gone from Marengo at 11 o'clock ; and about t hree miles west of that town, the engineer, J. 11. Wil kinson, saw in the distance ahead a locomo tive headlight, and he faid to his fireman, David Myers, "Dave, what on earth is that train on the track on our time for?" Dave looked ahead and there was the headlight sure enough, and Wilkinson immediately closed his throttle, applied the air-brake: and stopped. The brakeman jumped off to ascertain the cause of the halt, and they, too, saw the headlight coming. The engineer and fireman watched the distant glare a moment, and it quivered exactly as u headlight docs when viewed at a distance, from a fast approaching engine and the track for a long distance in front of its glistened like silver in its light. The conductor dil not get ofT to see the U :ht, and so mis-sed the sight. - -But as there was a train ahead, with an apparent right to the track, tbe express backed to Marengo in short order. There a dispatch was sent to the Train Dispatcher at Des Moines, informing him of the unexpected train, and a-king for instructions. Iiis answer was: "No train between Marengo and Brooklyn go ahead." "But the engineer rejorts seeing a train!' ''Iuijossible there is no wild train on that sei tion, and regulars arc all right. Ho ahead, I tell you." And again the train pulled out of Marengo; but the, strange headlight was seen no more. To those who beheld it when the train stopped it was real as any light they ever saw, and all were as certain that there was a locomotive with a train coining toward them as thev lived. It is now bei ievei that a sort of mirage or reflection of Wilkinson's headlight was produced nt the place by some freak of the elements in that clearJeold, frosty air, and that this was what Mr. Wilkinson, Dave Myers and the brakeman saw. It was real enough to send the train speeding back to Marengo for instructions. . Mayhap it was a specter train, of which there are several in railroad lore. Senator Ilrnce. Senator liruce, who goes out to give way for (ieorgc, is the last of his race, doubtless, for years to come, in the Senate, He is now the only colored man ineitherbranchof Congress, and the youngest of the Senators. He told me a story the other day about himself which I bad heard before, but 1 think is has never been in print. The late Senator Bogy, of Missouri, was anxious to have a jension bill passed one day for a constituent, and came over to the Jlepublican Ride to ask supjort for it. He approached the colored Senator from Mississippi, and said: Now look here, Uruce, vote for this, won't you; 1 only want another vote or two, and you can carry it through for me. It is a meritorious case." ''Certainly." said Senator Bruce. "You know, Senator, that I have always been willing to do you any favor you asked." D n it, sir, replied the .Mis.soun.Sonator, "I never asked you a favor in my life till this moment." "Oh, yes you have," replied Bruce. "You may remember once, manj years ago, that you were going from Su Louis down the fiver on a steamboat, and you were hurrying along to catch the boat, with a big valise. You passed a little barefooted mulatto, and said: j 'Here, you little black rascal, take this vilise and come on with me. The boy took the liand-bag, and when you came near tha boat, you said it w as about to pusii off, and you run on ahead and just crossed the gang-plunk as it was drawn in. The boy, however, had not been able to keep up with you, and arrived too late. You stood on the lower deck and yelled, 'Throw. that valise aboard. you d d black rascal; I can't go without my valise." But the boat had moved out till th boy was afraid it would fall into the river J if he tried "to throw it, and, besides he expected to receive a quarter for carrying it, and you had, apparently, forgotten all abott that The valise was not thrown and you made the Captain of the boat come ba.ee to the dock again to get it, and the boy collected the quarter. Now. do you remember that circumstance, Sen"I do," admitted Senator Bogy. "Well," said Bruce, "I was the little mulatto boy that carried your valise, and I am Iust as ready to accommodate you to-day as was then. I'll vote for your bilh" -

WONDERS OF THE TR.IXCE.

Some w and Curton Experiment In the Office of Dr. Heard. IKew York Sun, January 1. Dr. George M. Beard, who has given much attention to the subject of nervous disorders, and has written an exhaustive work on the trance state, made experiments yesterday in his office, at 18 East Twentyninth street, with three subjects, in the presence of several other physiceans. The first subject was Charles A. Bogers, a machinist, twenty years old. He is of medium height, solidly built, and in perfect health, as he has been from childhood. His ability to go into the trance state was discovered in the course of some recent ex- j liibitions in mesmerism given in Masonic j Temple. Dr. Beard first seated the young man and Imde him close bis eyef, and then pressed the thumb of the right hand against the forehead, midway between the eyes. Thh was followed by a few strokes upon the arms and txmv, and the voting man was in a trance. Many of the experiments usually made by mesmerists were tried with success, and then Dr. Beard said that he would make the young man entirely rigid. After a few strokes on the arms and limbs and the announcement that he was now terfectly rigid, the voting man became as stiff as though dead for hours. His color remained natural, and the action of the heart and the oreathing were acceler ated. The young man while in this state was lifted by the head and heels, and his IhxIv was indexible. It was held by the doctors that in this condition any surgical operation might have been performed on the young man more satisfactorily that with the use of annthetics. But as the susceptibility to the trance condition is limited to one out of every ten human beings, it can not be generally employed instead of ana sthttics. The voting man was next tested, while Cartially in a trance, as to the loss of sensiility. He was informed that his left hand was numb and towerless. A pin was pushed into a finger of that hand and no sign of pain accompanied the act. When the other hand was pricked the young man started with an exclamation of pain. Kven to the contact of an electric brush, charged with a l aruilaie c urrent, the left haud was insensible, though in the normal condition tiiepain therefrom is greater than that caused by contact with a red-hot iron. The slighted touch of tho brush to the right hand or face of the subject caused unmistakable evidence of severe pain. On being awakened be had no recollection of any paintul leeiing in tiie lett hand, though in a moment he complained of the wound the pin had made. Ana-sthesia of the lett side of the face was produced, so that the pulling of the hair r mustache was not felt. The same treatment on the other side caused pain ana shrinking, it was found on ex amination that the temperature was !X) on the side of the forehead which the patient imagined was ami'sthied. On the other side it was only !t. A bottle of bisulphide of carbon, which Dr. Beard said had "the worst smell under Heaven." was produced and uncorked under the young man's nose. When asked if it did not smell sweet to one nostril under which it was held, he exclaimed: "Yes.it is cologne. hen held to the other. without being asked as to its erfume, he discovered its true smell and recoiled. To one side of his tongue citric acid was made to seem sweet, and to theotherithadits iKitural disagrel-able sour taste. In the test for colorblindness, after being informed that if he closed one eve he could not tell the right color of anything he saw, he called a ball of pink cord white; a white card, he said, was nine: a piece of cloth of several shades, he aSd, was pink. The valient was brousht out of the trance, and Dr. Beard was conversing with the other physician, when the young man cried out: "Doctor, you did not nx tins eve. 1 can t see right vet. The Doctor waved his hand before the eve and said, "It's all right now." llie young man smiled and said. "So it is." Prom these and other experiment, Dr. Beard holds that the trance condition is subjective. It depend upon the condition of the ono who experiences it. Any one who can inspire theierson capable of trance with the belief that he can enforce the condition upon the subject of trances, can succeed In bringing It about. It Is not a mat ter of will iHiwer in the manipulator, but o susceptibility in the one who goes into mes meric trances. . Similar experiments to those describe above were made with James Wilson, twen-ty-one years old, a clerk in a bookstore, and David . right, about thirty years old, who Dr. Board said was rerhaps the best subject known to psvchologist.s anywhere. Both Rogers end Wilson were 'able in some small degree to resist the enforcement of the trance condition, but Wright had no power whatever in that direction. if.son, when in the trance, was informed that lie was before a large audience, and it was desired that he should declaim for their pleasure something from Shakesjeare. Arising and stepping out into the middle of the room, he began Hamlet's soliloquy. While lie was in the midst of his speaking he dashed his hand across his forehead and started forward, but his power of speech was gone. His lips continued moving. Dr. Beard had touched the back of the speaker's neck. After a short interval, when the trance subject's face had gown red and the veins of his neck stood out like whipcords with his vain effort to speak aloud, another slight blow from the Doctor restored the power of audible speech, and the soliloquy was taken up at the exact point where the speaker had reached in bis pantomimic efforts. Wright, who has weak eyes, was cx-eri-mcntei with in the trance state by Dr. Mittendorf, an oculist. The subject, when in a trance, sat motionless for ten minutes, with wide-open eyes, as Dr. Mittcndorf peered steadily into the pupil with an optical instrument, which threw a bright ray Of light upon the retina. The Doctor said that such steady, unflinching gaze was barely possible to the strongest-willed man in 1ns normal condition. A POOU FAMILY'S LUCK. Suddenly Falling Heirs to a Million and Half. l'hiladelphia Record. On a truck patch at Sixteenth and Dickin son streets lives a family named Glen. They are in rattier -poor circumstances. The husband works the truck farm and sustains a family consisting of a wife and four children. Recently the wife was notified that her father had died in Melbourne, Australia, leaving $1,500,000 to her. The story told by the Glen family is this: Somewhere about thirty years ago James Boyle, his wife and two children, were living upon a farm in Laghtuagallagh, County Donegal. Ireland. Years of -hard toil and struggling with theimpoverished soil had failed to place the farmer in a comfortable jiosition, a id finally, when Ids lease expired, he deterhiined to seek bis fortune elsewhere. A home was found for the children the girl Mary, who was then but a babe, lieing placed with her grandparents and Boyle and his wife tooc passage for Victoria, Australia. On arriving at the colony he obtained employment, and by care and industry saved enough in a few years to buy a farm. Prosperity continued to attend him, and eventually be became one of the most extensive farmers in the District Meanwhile, the baby daughter whom he had left behind was growing to years of womanhood. From time to time the mails brought words of good cheer from her parente, but the welcome missives ceased after 1870, the last one stating that her ' mother, and a sister who was born in the colony, had died, and that her father had given up farming, and was investing heavily in gold mines near Ballarat In 1871 Miss Mary married Glen, and immediately afterward Ith couple embarked for this country. They are now living with their children on a truck farm,

in a three-story brick house at Sixteenth and Dickinson streets. For nine long years Mrs. Glen had mourned her father as dead. Often, almost hoping againgt hope, she wrote to his fardistant home, but none of the letters elicited a response. A few months ago, however, a letter with the Irish postmark reached the house. This proved to be from nn uncle, and contained the information that her father had died, leaving an estate of about 2n000, nearly $1,500, WX); that her only brother had also died in 1S71, and that therefore she (Mrs. Glen) was the sole surviving legatee to her father's wealth. This information seemed almost incredible to the tJ lens, who could not realize the possibility of being raised from their pres

ent humble position to one of luxury and affluence. Letters were sent to the Austra lian lawyers, the good news was confirmed. and, within this week, Mrs. Glen has received a letter from solicitors in Melbourne, asking for a certificate of birth. This must be obtained from Ireland, and the whole charge of the matter has been placed in the bands of lawyer John Austin iTircell. who will take the necessary seeps by which the family can lonie into possession of the enor mous fortune.
