To Hypnotize Animals. fowls, crayfish and numerous other ]IT is a well-known fact that frogs, animals can be influenced by man, and that this influence comes under the TURN HER AsouT 50 SHE CANT GET A HOLD laws of hypnotism. Although this is hyp- notic influence, the animals are, of course, not in a hypnotic sleep, vet for all that it is an outgrowth of hypnotism. A Jesuit priest named Kirchner startled the scientific world by stating he could hypnotize hens. His method was as fol- lows: The first thing he did was to firmly tie the hen's legs together in order to pre- vent it escaping; he then laid it on a table, and after waiting a short time to let its struggles cease drew a chalk line across the table parallel to a line passing through the hen's ey The legs were then untied and usually the hen would remain quite indifferent, lying in a state of complete passivity for five minutes or longer, sometimes even as long as half an hour. At the end of the above time the influence seemed to be suddenly arrested, the hen returning to normal activity with a sudden jump, as it startled in sleep. The same symptoms are observed in all ani- mais thus influenced, and it is to this state of passivity that the name “hyp- nosis” has been applied, although it is not hypnotism in the strict sense of the word. It has been practically demonstrated that the chalk line used by Kircher in hypno- tizing his hens is not entirely necessary. Merely holding a hen firmly in one posi- tion for a short time is sometimes suf- ficient to bring on the This extraordinary horse, about guinea pig, mouse, rabbit, turk CATCH' HER. g B BEFORE HER.GRIP TIGHTENS [ 2SS robin, parrot, pigeon, dove, snake, sh and a few also be mes- cra; me animals can hat is, the quiescen means of passes.
