"The work has been carefully done and is correct, and I am perpared to stand by the conclusions drawn from the results.''' Mr. Lyon explaiied that lie had sent to Dr. MeCandless a number of bot ties bought from the South Carolina dispensary and these were numbered by a third party. There were also bottles of identical appenrance bought in bar-rooms in Atlanta. There were lettered A, 13. C. etc. Dr. MeCand less did n1-oit know which was which. There were only four exhibits from tihe bar-rooms in Georgia. Georgia Gets Better Liquor. As to the relative ''proof'' or per centa-e of alohol Dr. McCandless' inve-tinatiins shiwled Disp.

Therefore the Georgia whiskey is a better whiskey tian the dispensary whiskey by.from 2 to 10 per cent. Last winter Mr. Lyon showed where retail dealers in Georgia had received lower prices on better whiskey than the State of Souti Carolina had paid for whiskey in large orders. Another comparison which Dr. Me Canidless' letter shows is that ''there is nothing- in common between'' the 'Congress Hall'' 1sold in this state and the ''Congress IIall'' sold in Geor-ia; that there was enough ani line in 'nie bottle of gin cocktail to dye a piece of cloth. and aniline dye is poisonus 11as it is an indigo product generally and that the ''Old Joe" wiiskey sold by Bluthenthal & Bick-: ert is regarded b)y Dr. McCandless ''as being wholly artificial.'' The conclusion was derived, there fore that Dr. Bu1irneY has perhaps noted anl improvement in dispensary whiskey since the days of tle pu* chases from the Mill Creek distillerv.

Amerlean Institute to In*ent1gate Vifferent Phenomena CarWeully. Dr. Jamep 11. Hyslop, hea4 .of the Amerlean Institute For Scigntifle Re search, announced receOtly that Dr. Tames Putnam, neurologist of Harvard uiversity; the Rev. Dr. Minot J. Sav ige and the Rev. Dr. R. Ieber Newton tad been elected members of the board )f trustees of the institute, which here after will make greater strides in psychical research In America, says the New York Tribune. The American institute will Investi late two types of psychology, those ,alled abnormal psychology and super aormal psychology. The objects of study in the first division will include aeurasthenia and mental troubles. rhe second line of research will include iallucinations of a healthy mind. The ibnormal psychology, it is expected, will need the greater amount of funds, is it ii intended eventually to have a iospital where patients will be treated. there has never been any investiga tion of cases coming under that cate ,ory in the United. States, Dr. Hyslop iaid. It is also the object of the Institute to investigate the cases of the blind in asylums and to study certain types of visual sensations and see what can be made of the nachinery of hallucina tions. The loss of one sense, it is held, xccentuates the others, and this will also be studied. The deaf and dumb will also be studied for auditor hallu ,inations and the insane for vhrlous mental vagaries. The institute intends to bold clinics in certain hospitals wbih have promis Dd to allow them room to treat these .ases. Ultimately a hospital will be Drected for the Institute's own work. Several professional men are said to be back of the movement who at pres ant desire their names to remain secret. Dr. Hyslop in speaking of what a mental suggestion may do told of a re cent experience of his in the New York subway with an intoxicated man. The man, he said, was angry and unruly, but Dr. Hyslop said he beckoned to Mtm and sat beside him and by patting im and mental suggestion quieted him go that he left the train in good humor. This, he said, was merely suggestion ind not hypnotism. Speaking about iypnotism, Dr. Ilyslop said that the in 3titute could defluitely settle the ques tion whether a man under hypnotic in guence could be made to perform a 2riminal action or even to kill. He said je doubted if a subject could be made to do such acts. le told of his own son, who, he said, when under hypnotic in fluence, hesitated to do anything ab surd or ridiculous. FREAKS IN HENS.
