criminally inclined and possessed of hyp
notic power, commit murdnr by employing
tht power? Can mere hypnotic sugges
tion he substituted for poison, the knlf or
tho revolver?
These questions, which open up an In
finity uf horrible possibility. Albert Jounet
( elaborated today to tho World correspond
nt.. Jounet la a scientist, a close and ar
dent student of hypnotism and a leading
Writer fnr Ls Sotr His answer to these
Interesting questions la beat expressed In
the warnlna which ha uttered almost sol-
1 antnly:
"My advice la that no human being ever
f Buffer himself to bo hypnotised except
i by a person abeolutely beyond gtnral sus-
I Virion."
Jounet began ry re fen Ing to tha case of
Widow Chapplua This woman, who fell
Into the hands of spiritualists, who were
also hypnotists, suddenly died under cir
cumstances that aroused strong nusplrlon
that aha had been pplsoned. Not a In
of any poison was (bund In her body.
Nevertheless the woman. Mnrtln. a hyp
notist, who had great Influence, over Mine,
t'hspplits. was held responsible for the
widow's death.
"But leave this case out of considera
tion." Jounet continued. "Science readily
r.clmlts that suggestion has a forceful no
tion on tha heart's function; Its Influence
on the subject's pulse waa proved long ago.
Tha proof remains to be adduced, that a
hypnotist can atop human subject's heart
from beating, for good and all. At Mar-
sallies I personally Increased and dimin
ished the number of a man's pulse beats
at will, and aa far aa t could go In either
direction within tha limits of safety.
"So 11 la known that human circulation
can be seriously Affected by hypnotism,
even If It la uncertain that the heart can
be stopped. - ,
"To descend in the- scale. It la a matter
,of scientific rerord that La Fontaine, rhe-

viper, hissing angrily, struggled furiously
against LaFontnlne'a influence for nine
teen minutee before it died. And an this
vtper the mesmerist exercised hie every
power, so that be waa bathed in perspira
tion and suffered' a violent headache-.
"Undoubtedly hypnotism can kill some of
the lower creatures," Jounet concluded.
"There la also danger to man In sugges

well tor everyone to bear in mind Da
Rochaa advice- He recommends a man

is to be sold at auction. All reilginua arti
cles, such aa vestments, church ornaments
and sacred vessels, have been distributed
among the poor churches ef the word,
prtncipslly In Italy, and such was Ihe rush
to ohtaln them that Cardinal del Val waa
obliged to announce In the official Osserva
tore that even thing had been disposed of
In a Tew day a after the decision was taken.
The remaining articles form a heterogene
ous mass, of statues and paintings, whose
artistic value Is not high enough for the
Vatican museums and galleries; embalmed
animals, stuffed birds from all climates,
furs snd clothing of all descriptions, type
writers, canned goods from America, fond
st lifts, much Jewelry In gold and silver
snd many unset diamonds and precious
stones. All these articles are now to be
sold at public auction In one nf the lirge
halls of the Vatican, and It Is expected
that many thousands of dollars will be ob
tained from the sale, the money thus ob
tained to be invested with the general fund
of the Holy See. Many of the donors, how
ever, object and have sent proteets and de

Illustrates the reluctance of the old Catho

As esrl marshal and premier jeer of the
