The idea is by no means a new one, but the proof of it has never been given until within a few weeks. That the subconscious mind is a storehouse in which all the information an individual acquires in the course of his life is held, ha* been considered heretofore and ha* been accepted a* a pie.Uo theory, but without any foundation in fact. The theory is now shown to be a correct one and the existence of this second mind, which is kept in it* passive oonditiou by th* great activity of th* other mind, is an established truth. In some pvople the snboonMiiou* mind is more susceptible to the conscious mind than in other*, and in oaaes where this greater susceptibility ex- ist* more brilliancy is tound and the person possessing it is more alert to the affair* of the world. Incidentally, in these experiments the |> r "' mind reading abd the so-called marvels of spiritualism have been more or leas proved, but not established In the manner the practitionist of these arts would care to have. The clairvoyant state, according to the Charanton authorities, ennblea an active mind to read the subcon- scious mind of another person and gather from it fragments of the information it contains, which are repeated as insight* into i he past, to th no small amazement ot the person whom they concern. IIIWKK Or HVI'NUTIHM The met bod of proving this was a very simple one after the scientist* had discov- ered that the subconscious mind oould also be reached through hypnotism. With that At last it was decided to place the woman in a reclining chair in the centre of a nmall room or "least lined with heavy black cloth and kept in utter darkness during the uouri* of th* experiment. A small creacent- napeil mirror was hunt; upon a pivot opposite her and wa> mi.de to revolve rap- idly by a electrical apparatus. The only ray of light permitted t < enter was through lall aperture not much more than a pinhole in the opposite wall by which luminous pencil was projected upon the surface of the mirror as it mad* it* swift revolutions. For some time the patient took no notice of this contrivance, but gradually her attention was attracted by the dazzling disk. At flint she glanced al it apethe'ioally, hat every moment it fas- cinated her more and more, till at last her eye* were drawn to it in a fixed stare, and very soon the usual hypnotic effect wa* pioduced and the patient reclined In a oomato** state. RATIONAL STATEMENT FROM A LONATIC; The consciousness being thus lulled to rest the by puovist began bis operations upon the subconscious mind, leading it gradually by well -considered questions to respo-id to his suggestions. By this means liu obtained a rational statement from the unfortunate woman of the oauee that hail thrown her into the terrible hallucination from which she auilvre.d, a statement that no couise or questioning had beru able to elicit from her while her conscious mind wa* awake.

A* she waa walking along a sudden wild cry rang out from the top window of one .1. lhe high houses immediately above her, and a woman sprang o t of the casement, whirling in the air, and wa* dashed upon the pavement at her ieet, spattering her dree* with blood aud brains.

She wa* taken, still under the hypnotic influence, into the courtyard of the hospital, and out of one of the upper windows of the bnildmg the figure of a woman, cunningly constructed of a broom, furnished with a bonnet and cloak, w is dashed to the gronud before her. She started violeully, gave a wild scream and exclaimed : " There, see there ! There i* a womaii dashed to piece*. Oh, me blood! the blood! the blood !" and su.ldonly awoke from her hypnotic state aud began to weep hysteric- ally. HOW< II IK THk Ot'MMY. The hypnotist seized the opportunity and picking up the clothed broomstick flourished it before the patient's eyes, tak- ing off the bonnet ami cloak and discover- ing lhe naked truth in tue shape ol a simple nroomhauiile. The patient stared at it in amazement. "There," laid the hypnotist, "see what a fowl you've been making of yourself, then's your woman, but where's the biood? You can't g*l blood from a atone, nor a broumkliok, so you see you have been simply dreaming." The patient accepted t.hi* explanation with loi-i.iiy and immediately cried out attar the received fashion of one awaking from a trance : "Whore am I?" " W here ore you ?" said the hypnotist "Why, don't you remember you were taken uddeuly ill while out walking aud we brought you into the first place that came handy? Your stomach'* out of order, that's all, come a.ong home and we'll give you something to put you right." The woman was taken home and kept quiet for some day*, and from that Urn* showed no sign ot an aberration ol muni nor couid the recall any of her sulTering!. HIM BRAIN WAS ON P1BI.

In those instances the person under hypnotic influence shoved an acquaintance with subjects that were entirely unknown to the conscious minds of the subject.
