drawn to alternate hides of the car to

in its turn. The level at forty feet
contains the stones from Nashville,

bodily removed and the tablet othor

these tho highest is that from Wales,

The car has long ago passed through
tho old portio i of the shaft, and ii run

through the n at, exact masonry of tho

granite Is checkered with white
tipiares, the faces of marble blocks
that extend entirely through the walls

corners of the shaft In this portion are
n' atly rounded instead of being square,
us below. At every lifty feet from tho
floor to the if of there Is an elevator
landing, thu fl airs of levels being ex-1
tended to meet tho car, and guarded by
a high latticed gate. These occur on

windows in the roof. The great wheels
that have been devouring tho cables
seem to bo falling upon tho car, and
suddenly the comluctoi ivcs a long
upward pull on the hand-rope nnd the
car cuiues to a stop In the midst of a
sheet-iron cage. The air is chilly, and
as the passengers step timorously over
the threshold they button their over
coats and turn up their collars.
This upper lauding is a cold, lonely
pilot the abutting ribstones cutting it
up iutu angular spaces, und the bare
floors and shining white walls tending
to give it a lonesome air. Ou each sidu
two oblong windows give views into
thu atmosphere mid down upon thu
flattened earth. The world looks big
ger limn one thought it to no; n
stretches away on every band to a melt
ing blue horizon, faintly outlined, with
here and I hero a hill-top intruding its
sharp point as If in claim of recogni
tion its a part of the scene. On the
south side the Potomac ruaches down
toward the sea; silent uud steadfast,

crawling down stream at a slow puce,
anil the shipping thinly scattered along
the wharves is silent, as if ashamed of
Its scarcity.
From the west windows a mngnill-1
cent view is obtained of the Virginia
shore, with Arlington shnwinp; like a
yellow spot to mark tho resting place
of the soldier dead. The I'otomuc
drifts nut of sight around a bend, and
then appears again for a moment with
a flash. The ba.o that softens tho

sengers emerge from tho shaft Into the
outside atmosphera and mentally con
gratulate themsolva upon their good
luck in safely returning to the earth.
Than, glancing upward along the face
of the shaft, which soems to be falling
over upon them, they shudder slightly
and go away to boast that they have
been to the top of the highest urtill
clul structure In tho world.
Is the elevator safe? has been nsked
hundreds if times. ThU question is
hard to answer, for almost all ele
vators are a matter of some slight
rlk. even tinder the most favorable
circumstances. Vet It can bo said
with truth that the element of danger
lias been eliminated from the trip to
and from the top of the groat shaft
as far as bumun skill can go.
Tho muchinery has stood the
hardest tistts for years without
break. Thu cables have been test-
, cd to n capacity of over ton Wins, and
the car ami machinery fitted with the
best Of safety appliances. Under these
conditions it Is safe to say that the
elevator Is as safe as any other, and
much safer than the grout majority ol
hoisting machines, the immense length
of thu shaft notwithstanding. The
Irum of the elevator is locuted under
ihe floor of tho monument,-and it is
reached by means of traps in tho iron
flooring. It is a great nil iron cylin
i tier. Ii foot In diameter, and contains,
when the car has been hoisted to the

For my pnrt, I could almost wish
that wu In Kngland would give up
making any comments on American
literature, manners or social habits.
Wo can mako -nono that will give
pleasure; wo can hardly speak w ithout
making what is recognized as a mis
take. If wo prune, we pruisu thu
wrong thing; if wo blitnio, our hlumo is
mere ignorant jealousy. This I know,
for I have tried, in an ineffective but
icarty manner, to praise Mark Twain
:ts one of the greatest of living genuises
(perhaps it is not saying much) who
now uses tho English language. Yet
this humble appreciation has not
seemed to be welcome to all literary
Americans. They are not as proud of
Murk us nnu could wish. On tho
other hand, if I chance to describe
tho stylo of an esoteric Ameri
can novelty, a queer medley of bail
Ktiskiu ami indifferent llret Hurte, I
urn once more looked down upon from
the frozen heights of literary disap
probation. The fact is that over here
we do not know what is the correct
thing either in current American liter
ature or society. We admire. Amor
loan authors whom American critics
Jespise; wo have never heard of
authors whom the more serious Amer
ican reviews, which ought to know,
distinguish by their applause. It Is
the same thing, uf course, iu America.

Almut a century ago, Mesmer, a nv
live of Switzerland, was able to induce
a peculiar sleep by means of the now
well-known "passes." Ho professed to
have discovered u new force, to which
he gave tho name of animal magnet
Um Imt which most neonlu call mes
merism. In 113. Hrald, of Kngland.

lay beneath tho delusions und decep
tions of thu ransmerisls, and wus soon
Independently followed in the same di
rection by tvid'iillo. in India, and
Mitchell, in the United States.
Tho patient, being mode to fix his
oyes steadily on a bright object, about
a foot from his forehead und a short
distance above it. a sleep was Induced
in which all sensation was lost Nu
merous surgicil operations were psr
formed with absence of all pain. Tho
celebrated Charcot performed many
experiments of the kind on his
hvstorlcnl patients ut his fiimous
hospital in Paris. Tho late Dr. Heard,
of this country, devoted much time,
with signal success, to a scientific in
vestigation of tho subject of the
hypnotic state, and of hypnotism gen
erally. The word hypnotism, now
usually employed, is from a Grook
word signifying sleep. Moro lately
there have been many contributions to
tho subject by (iermun und French ex
perts, und sorao new conclusions huve
been reached. According to tho now
views tho hypnotic condition is not
one of lethargy, catulepsv nor som
nambulism, but it is u normal nervous
state, closely allied to natural sloop.
Tho use of bright objects before tho
eyes is rejected and condemned us in
jurious. The operator sitting before
the patient, assures him confidently
und pleasantly that ho will soon be
asleep, tells him to mako no resist
ance, and that he is already
fwdlng drowsy. Tho patient falls
asluop in from flvo to fifteen min
utes. From eighty to ninoty per cent,
of tho penOM experimented upon can
he thus hypnotized. The best subjects
aro persons of sound nervous constitu
tion. Tho most susceptible aro chil
dren under fourteen years of uge.
Signal curative rosults huvo been ob
tained In rheumatism, neuralgia, alco
holism, morphine habit, various forms
of nervous diseases und nmenorrhu'ti.
It is not always necessary that the
pntlent bo put fully to sleep. It is
now thought by somo investigators
that Baindcuringjand the new hypnotism
are essentially the same thing. These
results and the sleep Itself uro de
termined by tho suggestions of the
operator acting through the mind of
tho patient on his physical system.
