Tho influence that ono brain hoi direotly upon another," said Majoi Dennett grandiloquently at the club one night, "is immense and undeni able. when ho saw that Dr. Maopherson had quietly entered the room as he spoke ; for tho great brain specialist generally manages to take oonsidorable discount off the worth of tho superstitions Major's scientific assertions, occasion, however, Maopherson hap pened to agree with him to tent < * Ho was a little taken aback On this Bomo ex Tho direct powor of the brain is a subject which needs investigating," he said » * The pity is that the science ie at presont almost in tho hands of char « * latans.

Dennett was more anxious than of us to hoar a case which seemed to illustrate what ho had been saying, aud a very remarkable story the doc tor told us. any "I met Trofessor Lyas'—as he call ed himself—on board an American liner," ho began. "My brother had become engaged to a New York lady traveling in Europe, and as her people were anxious that the wedding should take place at her home, we were all going across to the States. I had beon wanting a holiday, and Bobin, my brother, was anxious that I should officiate as best man, so I managed to join tho party going across. It on tho second day out that this Lyas begau talking at dinner of his derful power of will, and ho offered to convince any sceptical persons by operating upon them. He would not kill them outright, he said, kindly, but if tho proper conditions wore ob served he would, by simply looking into tho subject's eyes, suspend for a moment the action of the heart, and take them as near death as was expedi ent for an experiment I volunteered instantly, and the Professor was mak ing arrangements for the publie dis play of his power when, to body's surprise, a lady also expressed her willingness to undergo the experi ment She was a quiet-looking little woman of thirty or so, who was trav eling alone, I was told afterwards, to join her husband in the States, and hor offer surprised mo all the when I observed from her face that ■ho was evidently of was won cvery moro highly excitable and hysterical nature. The gors generally seemed in favor of the lady undergoing the test instead of me. Finally the Profossor decidod to try his will-power upon us both in turn, and wo adjourned to tho deck for the experiment Unfortunately it was decided to take Mrs. Maple, the quiet little lady, first, sat iu a deck-chair facing her, at tho . distance of a few feet, and fixed his remarkably piercing little blaok on her face. We gathered round in quite a state of excitement, which be came indescribable when in less than five minutes the lady turned white and fainted. I hnrried up at onco -to at tend her, and applied tho usual storatives, but it was quite a long time before she regained consciousness. She seemed to bo in a state of catal epsy, and the passengors were in a fearful state, thinking that they had , helped to kill her. They were relieved when I came up from her cabin, to which the Profossor had helped me to carry her, with the announcement that she was well on the way to recovery ; but when I expressed my willingness to subject myself to the experiment they rosé in a body to protest against it, and the captain put an end to the matter by absolutely refusing to let another trial of the kind tako place his vessel. I was aransed to see how thoroughly tho Professor's feat had impressed everybody on board, and I noticed a general inclination among the passengers to give him a wide berth and avoid his eye. part, I should have been more satis* fled with his performance if I had been the subject, and, since there no chance of another public trial of his power, I determined to ask Lyas to give me a private one in my cabin. Before I had an opportunity of asking him, however, my views with regard to the Professor underwent a change. I Lad been considering him simply a charlatan. My brother informed that he was a blackguard. It seemod that he had been persecuting Miss Gaviu, my Sister-in-law-elect, with pleasant attentions. They had passt' n The Professor eyes re on For my own was me un met \ casually a year before in Now York, and the fellow was presuming now upon their slight acquaintance to make violent love to the lady, in spito of her unconcealed dislike for him and the fact that sho was about to marry my brother. Bobin was furious, of course, and askod me to be present at the interview he was intending to havo with his fianoee's persecutor. "I was quite willing. 'I will run np on deck and fetch him down now, if you will wait here,' I said, 'and wo can have him all to ourselves whilo wo give him a kit oi our minds.' I strolled up on deck to look for tko Professor, but os it was pretty dark I bad somo difficulty iu finding him. At last, however, I caught sight of him leaning over the taffrail, talking to a lady. When I found that the lady was Misa Oavin, I felt no hesitation in interrupting tho conversation, which I know must be distasteful to her. As I was about to do so, however, my at tention was urrestod by something tho villain was saying, and I am not in tho least ashamed to confess that I waited without disturbing him to hear a little more of it Tho Professor's chief at traction was a singularly clear voice, and, although ho was speaking almost in a whisper, I could catch everything lie said. Ho was threatening to kill her lovor by this will powor of his un less sho promised him to break off the engagement My blood boiled when poor Kate Gavin answered, and her voice told mo how frightened aud im pressed she was. Of course, it sounds strange to you, gentlemen, that a sen* sible young lady could bo alarmed by such a threat, but you must remember that tho experiment of the morning had created a tremendous impression, and that thoro was scarcely a person on board but bjlievod that Professor Lyas had tho powor to kill a man by willing it That Miss Gavin bolieved it thoroughly was proved by her tone, and by tho fact that she allowed the fellow to speak to her at all. Sho tried to argue with him. You dare not,' she said so fierce ly that I could hear her plainly; 'you dare not commit murder.' Pardon me,' replied tho villain iu his clear, distinct voice, 'I dare do anything that is not punishable. Ana my way of killing renders it impos sible for tho death to be brought homo to me.' "I found it hard to koep still in my hiding-place under tho deep shadow of tho deck-house, whilo my brother's fiancee seemed to argue and plead in turn with him. Her voioo was not clear enough for me to hear many of her sentences, but I was pleased to gather from his replies that sho abso lutely refused the rupture lie proposed with her husband-elect. At last he turned • I • < hoi had ; this ex a he ie to H « I« i turned away. 'All light, as you will, Miss Gavin, he 6aid impressively, 'remem ber that his death will be upon your own head.' "Sho did not reply, Wit from the way her hands clasped aud unclasped over tho taffrail I could tell how deep ly tho threat affected her. I was iu doubt whether to go to her, and set her mind ut rest as far os I could, to stop Lyus, and carry him off to bo interviewed by her lover. As it was I wassavod the trouble ol deciding by being obliged to take a l hird course. Although I had no idea of the fact, Mrs. Maple, who had re covered sufficiently to come on deck, hul been standing almost close to sido in tho deep shadow. She attract ed my attention now by fainting again as she had dono during tho experiment in the morning. For the next ten min utes all my thoughts were taken up by attending to her. The stewardess had luckily passed at the moment I found the lady swooning, and we got her be low without nny body on deck being the wiser. I left her in tho steward ess's charge ns soon as consciousness returned, and hurried off to the cabin where I had left Bobin. Ho was still there, wondering what had happened, and we remained for a little whilo con sidering what course we ought to pur sue, whether to put tho matter in the hands of the captain or to oontent ourselves by warning the Profossor what would happen if he continued to annoy Miss Gavin. When we had de cided on the formor course, we opeuod the cabin door to carry it into tion at once. But at tho very door way we met Katie herself coming to ns, her eyes starting with terror, her beautiful faco blanched. 'I have killed him ! I have killed him, to save your life,' she cried hys terically as sho threw herself into Uubin's arms, and without waiting to hear more I hurried on deck, oppress ed by a terrible fear. I could under stand so plainly how the poor girl could have been driven into what scarocly a crime by the panic for which her victim was himself respon sible. If she had indeed killed Pro fessor Lyas it was clearly a case of justifiable homicide, bat what jnry oould understand the case sufficiently to view it as such? I was sick with fear, and when I reached the deck only to find that the Professor had really been killed, I foresaw nothing bnt tragedy and horror in store for the oouple who seemed the happiest in the world.

Colonel Franois Vinton Greono has recently delivered an address on tho subject of good roads in the Butter field Practical Conrso at Union Col lege. In the coureo of hia remarks he showed that while Maaiaobusett* annu ally expends $66 a mile on roads out side of citios, New Jersoy 913 aud New York $33, the averago expendi ture in the other states is much loss. If it is only $19 a mile, this means a total annual expenditure throughout tho country of $20,000,003, and much tho larger part of ihia vast sum is lit erally thrown away on roads thst are not only the causo of vexation and dis oomfort to those who drive over them, but that entail actual loss npon those who aro oompellod to carry tlnir gooda over them to the market or to the railway stations. Tbo enormous drain made by bad roads on our resources was estimât«- 1 by Colonel Greene, and bis figuns will not be doubted by any ouo who ban paid an£ attention to tho subject. Ho said : "It has been proved, not only by mechanical experiment bnt by actual tost, that tho somo force which draws one ton on a muddy earth rond will draw four tons on a hard Macadam road. On tho improved foods of Now Jorsey loads of four to flvo tons an? habitually drawn by a two-horse team. This effects a saving of fully three* fourths of tho cost of hauling to the station, and reduoes tho cost of road transportation from 30 cents to 7j cents per ton per mile. What this saving amounts to may bo imagined when it is known that the New York If this is hauled only two milea by road, to or from the station, and a saving of 22 j cents per ton per mile could bo effected, it would mean a total saving en a of a the a "as a Central Bailrod carries nosrly 23,000, 000 tons of way freight in a year. of $9,000,000." In other words, tho question of roods in many of our agricultural oommnuitics is a question of farming at a loss or at a profit And there is not a community or town in tho thickly sottled parts of tho country that cannot provide itself with thor oughly good highways by anticipat ing its road taxes for fifteen or twenty years. Money borrowed on fifteen or twenty year bonds, to be paid off from the annual road taxes, would be sufficient for the work in each local ity, while the expenditure wou'd in volve little, if any, increased taxation. Tho plan that is here suggested has been tried in towns near New York, and it is noticeable that every good piece of road that has boen con structed in these commonitios in creases tho sentiment in favor of spending money in this way.—Har per's Weekly. ! in Strange Power of a Meteor. A very curions observation of the effects producod by a moteor seen at sea is made public through tho Hydro graphic bureau in Washington Cap tain Bedman of the British steamship Nerauo, when a little more than two hundred milew southeast of Cape Clear daring a recent voyage from Balti more to Havre saw a meteor which appeared to'pass close to his ship. An observation of tho North star taken soon after the appearance of the meteor showed a surprising result. The direction of the ship's compass needle had changed no less than eleven degreos! Bjforo the meteor passed, the needle had pointed about 5 de grees, 30 minutes west of true north, bnt now it pointed 6 degrees, 30 min* utes cast of north. Thst the meteor had caused the change was indicated by the faot that within 24 hours the ueedlo returned to its former position moving slowly back about eleven degrees toward the west. Equally great effects hare been duoed upon ship's oompasses by light ning but in such esses tho bolts have actually struck the ship; The motoor seen by Captain Bedman did not touch his ship, and whilo ho makes estimate of its aotnsl distance it probably considerable, since there is report of its having been observed to fall into the pn. no VM no so a.
