dominant in the history of the world can scarcely be overrated. Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Soc- rates, Luther, Ignatius Loyola, are but a few of the great men whose lives were intimately entwined with ruling delu- sions. In these cases the illusions seem to have been persistent and not to have been produced by any voluntary effort ou the part of the seer. On the other band, Talma could walk on to the stage and after staring at the brilliant and |

would see nothing but rows of grinning skeletous. In this he seems to have fore- stalled Herr Reentgen, were in the exact positions of the mem- bers of the audience and changed their postures with every vuriation of their positions. It was to this grisly ‘‘house’’ that the great actor delivered some of his grandest histrionic efforts.

Geethe, as might be expected, called ap pleasanter and more peaceful visions. At will he conld see a flower in the cen- ter of his visual field. He thus described it: ‘*This flower decs not for a moment preserve its form; it is generally decom- posed, and from its interior are bor other flowers with colored, or sometimes green, petals. These are not natural flowers, but fantastic, nevertheless regu- lar, figures, such as the roses of sculp- tors.’’

The capacity for thus producing at will a lovely object had, however, the disadvantage described by Abercrombie in his famous *‘ Inquiry Concerning the Intellectual Powers,’’ that they were not 28 a rule “‘dismissible at pleasure. Blake, after studying a model seated in achair, could continue seeing her clearly when the chair was empty. This must have been an eccnomical way of hiring asubject ty the hcur and would be an acceptablo talent in these days of highly feed medels. The ghastly case described by Sir Walter Scott of the man who knew that he was dying, and knew equally well that there was nothing whatever the maticr with him, is per- haps tco familiar to uecd more than Passizy; mention. The black cat that this luckless man saw was, to use his Own words, ‘‘no household cat, bat a babble cf the clements which has no €xistexce.’’ This animal was as ccm- Flex in feraa as the scer’s metaphor, for it would tarm suddenly into a court usher, and the rsherin his turn would become a skeicton. Thisman showed no sympitems of imsanity and was fully aware cf the unreality of what he saw, Which must greatly have added to the persistent misery of his condition.

An cld gentleman described by the late Dr. Elam had a power of conjuring up, often without voluntary effcrt, two or more cjparming dancing girls, and the antics of these nymphs continued urtil sleep came tothe rescue.

This trouble snpervened suddenly after a violent quarrel in which Nicolai had been engaged. Ultimately the corpse snd all the poor man’s other de- lusions were Criven back to their own sphere by the presaic attacks of leeches cn the temples. also most effective in dispelling the vi- sions cf acertain clergyman in Hamp- shire lato in the last centary. He habit- uslly engaged in persenal encounters with the devil, until the leeches drove the foul fiend out ef his visual field. Dr. Bostock, the psychologist, saw the heads cf his friends ‘‘in relief, like medallions.’’ Curiously enough, he could wever conjure up their bodies.

The great Napolcon was, as is gen- erally known, invariably attended by a star. This story was implicitly believed at the time, and it is said to have been first related by General Rapp, who, on visiting the monarch’s tent at night, found Bonaparte excitedly pointing to a corner of the tent, crying: “Do you see that—my star? It is shining there before you!’’ At the period of the ref- ormaticn wrestling with the evil one in propria persona was by no means an uncommon exercise. Luther several times indulged in these combats. Mr. Lecky tells us ef the young mork who rushed up to Sts. Pachonius and Palemon in the desert and told them excitedly of the beautiful woman who had tempted him in his cell and, ‘‘hav- ing worked her purpose,’’ had vanished miraculonsly in the air, leaving him half dead upon the ground. The story goes on to say that the young monk, “sith a wild shriek, broke away from his saintly listeners * * * and rushed across the desert till he arrived at the next village and there leaped into the open furnace of the public baths and perished in the flames. ’”’

Cazotte was reported to have habit- nally dreamed with his eyes open, so that at the dinner party when he'sud- denly said that he saw Condorcet, who was one of the guests, in prison and taking peison to avoid the headsman’s ax nobody paid much attention.

An Island Colony of Foxes, Some of Thera With Skins Worth 8400,

There is an ‘d off the coast of Maine,’ six miles Vutside of Boothb-yr harbor, where the rarest of one specics of fur bearing animals are found in numbers. They are black and silver foxes, and it may be said in beginnin: that they did not get onthe island by themselves.

Aiew years ago Thomas F. Morgan of Groton, Conn., who was summering at Boothbay harbor, conceived the idea of stocking one of the numerous islands in that vicinity with black and‘ silver foxes, that are now almost extinct in

- the wild state. He looked around for a

suitable island and finally hit upon Outer Heron as possessing all the condi- tions necessary to the success of such a colony as he desired to plant. Outer Heron is a wooded island of 100 acres o7 so, with considerablo elevation and bold, rocky shores. lt has plenty of fresh wa- ter, and its dense growth of spruces, pines and firs breaks the force of winter gales. There is a good dwelling house on the island, and in winter a dozen or more lobster fishermen live in shanties around the little cove that serves as a harbor. The island was owned by Rich- ard H. Emerson, a veteran, who resided at East Boothbay. From him Mr. Mor- gan obtained permission, in considera- tion of a yearly rental, to stock the is- land with foxes.

An order was sent by Mr. Morgan to a fur company, engaged in breeding black foxes on an island in Alaska, for a consignment of the animals, and 30 good specimens were started east. The journey took many months, being made by vessel and steamer to San Francisco and thence overland, and when the con- signment arrived at Boothbay harbor only seven of the foxes were alive.

These were put on Outer Heron about a year ago, and they have thrived and multiplied from all indications. A few months ago a company was formed un- der the laws of Maine to foster the in- dustry Mr. Morgan thinks he will make out of the fox raising business on Outer Heron. Mr. Knight has the reputaticn of being one of the best fox hunters in his county. He is familiar with the ways of the red fox, and has shot as many of that variety as would stock two or three islands like Outer Heron. He is ebliged to confess, however, that he knows very little about the black fox. He has set about the task of studying those on the island, but with slight suc- cess as yet, for the valuable denizens of Outer Heron are very shy, unless hun- gry, and as this has been an open win- ter they have not suffered for food. Mr. Knight talked entertainingly about the prospects of raising black foxes for mar- ket.

**We don’t expect to get any return right away,’’ said he, ‘‘but when we get the island well stocked we oughs to do well. Last year there were only 1,700 black and silver fox skins sold in Lon- don, the fur market of the world. They nearly all came from Alaska, and they were 14 months on the way. If we can raise skins herg we can get them to London 13 months earlier than they could be sent from Alaska.

‘*We intend to breed out all the light strain, or silver foxes, from our stock. A silver fox is by no means acheap ani- mal—the pelt of a good one is worth

75 to $100—but the black fox is much more valuable, the pelts being worth as high as $400 each.’’

Mr. Knight is now arranging a feed- ing pen for the animals in the barn on the island. Recently a horse was taken to the island and killed in the woods. The animals have fed on the carcazs and have kept out of sight of the settlement at the shore. If driven out of the woods by snow to seek food, it is expected they will come to the barn and feed, and thus get the way of feeding there. After the animals haye become tame enough to feed at the barn Mr. Knight intends to rig traps to catch them. All “‘silvers’’ will be sorted out and taken away, leav- ing only those with very dark coats. It is expected that by this system of breed- ing animals with entirely black coats can be obtained.—Boston Globe,
