Few really good Ideas, or inventions or discoveries, are ever lost; they may com too soon, before the world is ready for them, and when this is the case efforts to force them on the human race will almost infallibly fail. But by and by the world will move alone, in iw prodding fashion, until it comes to the point where the great Idea is understood and needed, and when it does it will take up the invention or discovery or reform and make use of It. Too often it happens that some other man takes the foundation of his predecessor and builds on it a magnificent structure to his own fame; too often the originator Is quite lost sight of in the work of his successor, but it Is interesting to know that, by one hand or aiithoa the work goes on, and nothng good is ever really lost It may be long neglected, it may be long forgotten, but if there is money or reputation in an idea, it is only a question of time when some one wll discern the fact, will take it up at a favorable moment and will prove to the world that the new thing is worthy of consideration and adoption. This fact does not generally benefit the orig inator, whose grave may have been for gotten before the world saw the value of his Idea, but it does prove that ills life was not in vain. The names which are most honored in the history of the world's speculation are those of men who died disappointed at their apparent lack of success. The writings of Aristotle were scarcely known in his own day, and by the merest accident escaped destruction after his death, being packed away in a moldy chest, where they remained for nearly 100 years before the discov ery. The famous philosopher himself could have had not he faintest idea of the grand future before his speculative system, nor how it would dominate the thought of the world for 1.600 years. Plato's doctrines attracted little atten tion during 111 own lifetime, not being . known outsldo a limited circle of ex cluslves, but after he had been dead a few hundred years some one happened to read his dialogues, admired their Btyle, began to study their matter, and I'latonlsm commenced to spread. Dur ing his lifetime Kant was better known as a professor of mathematics than as a philosopher, and not one copy of his "Critique of Pure Reason" was sold during the first year it was before the public. Hegel was more fortunate, but it Is a curious fact that his lectures on the "Philosophy of History" were very sllmly attended, these Immortal utter ances, at the time of their delivery being listened to by forty to sixty young men some of them dropped the course ere It was half over because the lectures were so dull. Leibnitz and Spinoza made only a slight Impression on their own age, while nobody seems to have thought of Swedenborg aa a phllos opher or religionist at all, his fame resting on his ablltly as a statesman and diplomat. Kven Bacon, who revo lutionized the world's thought, had scant success In this direction during his lifetime, being far better known as a Judge and lawyer than a philosopher. . UNAPPRECIATED SCIENTISTS The history of science is the history of achievements for which the author received little or no credit during his lifetime, and probably died under the impression that his labors had been all in vain. Newton was looked upon by many of his contemporaries as an Impracticable dreamer. Audubon, the greatest ornithologist the world ever produced, was laughed at by some of those who new him for going about shooting little birds. "Why don't you go west and shoot game for killing? waa the question was once put to him nv a. man who Rhonld have known bet ter. Wilson, whose collection of Amer ican birds rivals that of Audubon was equally the subject of ridicule from his neighbors. "He goes about shooting humming birds," said one fellow, ut terly blind to the fact that he was speaking to one of the greatest na turalists who ever lived. Both Audu hon and Wilson died without apparently realizing that they had made a name, The same fortune has attendednearly all naturalists. Pliny's "Natural His tory" was unknown until after his death, when it was found among his papers. Darwin was a notable excep tion, for in his own lifetime the theory of evolution was generally received by thinking men. The early workers in electricity did not In the least, forsee the results of their labors, and although Morse received honor as the Inventor of the electric telegraph, he was only a forerunner, a sort of herald, of the great things to come. TRUE, ALSO OP MUSICIANS. It Is a singular fact that while Bach waa known in his own time and to his contemporaries as a supjerb organist and composer, his greatness as a mu sician did not appear until many years after his death. To his acquaintances In Leipslc he was simply "Old Bach, the musical director of the St. Thomas' school." Everybody knew that he wrote music, but few either knew or cared anything about its character. During his life he published very little, and the works which are now revered by musicians as the foundation stones Of the art lay aa manuscripts in Bach's own handwriting in the St. Thomas school library. A chance fire, the dep redatlons of rats, tho carelessness of servants or attendants might at any time have caused the world the loss of the greatest masterpieces that ever came from musical pen. For nearly a hundred years they remained neglect ed and forgotten, until some Interest having been aroused in the muster by the performance of one or two of his pedal fugues, the rest of his works were found, carefully copied and their publication begun. The work is still going on .although over thirty volumes have already appeared, and the world Is now only beginning to appreciate wnal a genius it lost in Jean Mebastinn. As a rule, however, the popularity of the musician and composer is immediate. Mozart was the idol of his time; so wan Handel: but the popularity of both has increased rather than diminished, and Handel could certainly never have dreamed that the oratorio he composed in less than a month for presentation to a Dublin audience would be per formed every season In scores of cities In Europe and America and become the one musical work sacred to Christmas and charity. . : , Shakespeare's fame Is entirely posth umous. He was almost unknown In his own day, and although Some people ap pear to have been aware that he wrote or was said to have written the plays that were brought out at the Globe the ater, nobody during his lifetime of the greatest of all dramatists seems to have had the faintest Idea of the Immense fund of human wisdom, the. Infinite knowledge of human nature displayed in these productions. They were not put In type, so far as known, until seven years after his death. It might have been supposed that a man who knew he was uttering the profoundest wisdom to which the world had ever listened would have preserved copies of his plays at his home, and would not have risked his literary fame and reputation on one manuscript of each play, kept In the 11 brsry of the Globe. But fame, eagerly sought by most men, 'seems to have been for Shakespeare only an empty name; Its took no pains to preserve his , plays, apparently regarding them as valueless, and while In his will he care fully disposes of the'sevond-best bed. not the smallest allusion is made- to the. dramas. His whole life was a- mystery. Every other great poet or thinker left on the- political, religious or social life of his time some trace of ills influence Milton. Dante, Goethe, were known to all their contemporaries; .Shakespeare was known to none. At the time when he was living, either in London or Stratford.: Raleigh, Sydney. Spencer, Bacon, Coke, Camden. Hooker, Drake, Inigo Jones and a hundred, lesser lights of literature, art poetry were also alive, but there is not the slightest evidence that he knew any of them, or that any of them- knew him. Such facts as these and the striking circumstance that his will, while mentioning as bequests many articles of trilling value, does not allude to the plays causes many doubts as to real share, if any, he had In their au thorship. The allusion to Milton and Dante re calls the fact that the refutation of each was, in large measure, attained after he had ceased to take an interest in his masterpiece. Milton's re put a tlon, during his lifetime, depended not upon hid poetical abilities, but on his prose works and skill as a controversial 1st. In the controversy of those day argument and vituperation were mixed In about the proportion of one to three, and In controversial inudsllnglng Mil ton was a stupendous genius. This gave him a great name long before he had done any serious work on the "Paradise Lost." Whatever he may have expected from his poem, it Is very plain that the publishers did not antlcl pute much, nor does it appear that they were disappointed in this particular, for few copies were sold of the early eul tlons, nor. Indeed, did the work make Its way to public favor until many years after Milton had been buried. Dante's great poem was finished only four or live years before Ills death In 1321. and as the multiplication of manuscript copies was slow, he must have died in Ignorance of the reception destined for the poem. No doubt re dreamed. of its Immortality, but such dreams are com mon amAng poets and are generally doomed to disappointment. The works of Homer, If there ever was such a man, were not collected until ages after his death, while, when Virgil was on his deathbed, he' felt so keenly his disap pointment In not being able to correct and revise the lAeneid that he com manded the only copy in existence to be burned and only by the disobedience of his friends has the world retained tills monument of Roman genius. The fame of both Shelley and Keats Is large ly posthumous, and not until after poor young Chatteron bad committed sul clde did the world find out that he was really a great poet. FAMOUS HISTORIANS. The reputation of historians is gener ally posthumous, for the world general ly needs a century or so to find out that a historical work is really worth read ing. When the reputation of the his torian begins to grow, however, there Is pructlcally no limit to its extension, for It appears to Increase with the lapse of time. and. although his books may not be read, everybody knows them by name, and that is as much as any one could expect. There are probably not a thousand men In America who have read the writings of Herodotus, but every body knows that he was the "Father of History." The fame of Llvy and" Tacitus haB been growing ever since they died, and their works will probably be even more highly regarded aa time moves on, while the world is only now beginning1 to appreciate what a stu pendous labor of genius was the "De cline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Many histories of England have been written since that of 11 u me appeared. but his work Is more highly appreciated today than it was when he laid down his pen for the last time, while Uuizot's "France," which appears to have made little sensation at the time of Its ap pearance. lias steadily grown In popu lar favor. Even less pretentious works. worthily done.have sometimes achieved far more sobriety than theirs could pos slbly have anticipated. When old Pepys sat down in the evening, to re cord. In the crabbed shorthand of his own Invention, the doings of the day. he little thought what a flood of light would be poured on the times In which he lived by his fourteen big volumes. He died without telling any one the se cret of his shorthand, and for over a hundred years his diary remained unde- ciphered, and, as everybody supposed, undecipherable. Finally the key to his crooked characters was discovered, his diary was. translated, and, as a hand book of the times In which he lived, it has proved invaluable. Kept for his own aniuscment.it has since been found of enormous worth to the historian. NEGLECTED ARTISTS. Among the artists whose names are household words there are several whose paintings were not appreciated until the list had been completed by the death of the painter. Among the many pitiable cases of this kind, that of Mist let was probably the most conspicuous. His whole life was a struggle with bit ter poverty. He would not paint save under Inspiration, and steadily refused to do work which the dealers wanted, because it did not come up to his stand ard of what art ought to be. During his lifetime he was known to compara tnvely few persons, and some of them regarded him as an impractical crank, With a few like himself, he sought the seclusion of the forest of Frontalne bleau. and there labored In quiet, paint ing pictures that the dealers would not buy. or ir they aid. paid tor tnem sucn prices as would be given for the works of unknown and little appreciated ar tists. But the art dreamer never com plained, or if he did, his complaints were ignored, and are now forgotten. How he managed to live at all is a mys tery, for the sums he received for his art works were not sufficient to support life, but somehow or other he managed to dreg out a weary existence until old age came and he died. Then, all at once, the world discovered that he was a great artist, worthy of its highest praises and prices. Art critics could not utter sufficiently flattering encomi ums on his style: collectors could not pay too high prices for his pictures. The "Angcius." it is said, sold for liuu.uuu. Only $600 were paid to him for this masterpiece, and he probably consid ered himself as well rewarded. One tenth of the sum which afterwards changed hands when it was last sold would have supported him for lyears, but during- his life public appreciation was slow, and so he labored for mere bread. Such is the way of the world. Its greatest men, neglected, often belittled during life, are almost deified after death. The statesman Pitt thought he saw all his plans frustrated by the de feat of the allies at Austerlltz, and died of mortification at his failure, but the plans he had laid were carried out by others, and after years of persistent ef fort In the face of all discouragements. Napoleon was finally overthrown and France humbled. The work went on, almost exactly as he had Intended it should, only under the direction or an other hand. Even In his own country he was vilified by his political oppon ents, but after his death It was gener ally agreed that Knglnnd had produced no greater man lor iw years. COST OF THE KIEL CANAL. Stupendous Work of Engineering Kucclnctlr Described. A definite official statement of the cost of that great engineering work, the Kiel canal, shows the reaching point to have been some s:)9.000.O0O. It is about 61 miles long, 20 feet deep at dead low water, and 229 feet wide, in numerous places the width Increasing to some 428 feet, to allow tne largest vessels to pass each other, and work will be continued until vessels of any depth can pass at low water. t- The embankment is stone nnea to a depth of six feet below the water; and the locks at the. North sea end of the canal are said to be the largest In the world, with the exception of- that at Bremerhaven. Two bridges span It at a height-of 137 feet above the water. and there are also six opening bridges and sixteen ferries. DID HANSEN FIND TBEPOLE? A Claim That John M. Ycrhocff Is the Discoverer. ' ' WHAT LIEUTENANT PEAKY SAYS artllog Story About l ho Young Seles Kit's Wonderful Purpose la Joining Peanr-Llved Like the Eskimos. Ue Mjsteriously lUsapposrs. , New York, March 3. lias the north pole been discovered by an American? There is some ground for this seeming ly scnselessquestlon. Lieutenant Peary, the arctic explorer, has been Inter viewed at his home in Brooklyn con cerning the remarkable claim that It Im voi m ir John M. Verhoeff. and not Dr. Nansen, who has discovered the north pole. Peary says that on Aug. L, 1J-', while on his first expedition, young Verhoeff left the camp to look for mln eraloglcal specimens in the valley and never returned. This was on the very day Peary's ship, the Kite, was to sail for home. A thorough search waa made for the young scientist, but It was unavailing. Not a trace of him could be found, and the Peary party believed he had fallen into a crevasse in the gla cier and was killed. VeihoelT'a rela tives in Philadelphia claim they have every reason to believe the young man remained behind with the deliberate Intention of associating himself with the Eskimos, living as one of them, and, If he found It necessary, exiling him self in the north until he had accom plished the dream of his life to wit. the discovery of the nortn pole. There is every reason to believe that young Verhoeff is the real discoverer of the pole, if it has been round. Tne cir cumstantlal evidence In the case points that way.- It is known that for many years he had waited for the opportunity afforded him by tne reary ex peon ion and had trained himself especially for the solitary work before him. Some- thing of his history and the events which led up to his engagement with Lieutenant Peary will be of interest. WAS ANXIOUS TO -SAIL. John M. Verhoeff was a Yale gradu ate from the Sheffield Scientific School, who had for several years been anx ious to make an arctic exploration be fore he joined the Peary party. Ver hoeff paid 12,000 toward the expenses of the expedition, and Joined the Kite, which sailed from Brooklyn on June 6, 1892. The plan of Lieutenant Peary was to make permanent winter quar ters aa far north In Greenland as pos sible, and from this base of supplies to strike northward over the Inland lco cap at a favorable season, with sledges and dogs, to explore the northern coast of Greenland, and to get as near as possible to the pole. Verhoeff was a remarkably odd and eccentric man, while be was one of the most faithful and hard-working mem bers of the party. But all his peculiar actions bore toward one thing: The desire to make a far northerly explora tion over the Ice, and to prepare him self for so doing in every possible way. He lived and ate with the Eskimos when possible, he could support life on blubber and raw flesh; he inured his body to extremes of cold, and all these things he did with this end In view that if he could so adapt himself to the Eskimo life that he could BURtaln life under exactly the same conditions as the natives there was no reason why he could not remain independent of any expedition In the arctic regions for an Indefinite period and conduct explora tions as no man had ever done before him. He would be a naturalized Es kimoable to live with Ice, to build an "Igloo or house; furs to wear, and raw meat and blubber to eat. This was the dream that filled the soul of Verhoeff. While the Kite was anchored in the port of Godhaven Verhoeff declared that the .water looked so pleasant that he would swim from the ship to the shore and back again. These who heard the assertion trlgd to dissuade him, pointing to the numerous icebergs looming In every direction. Even when he stripped, all thought that a single plunge would serve to make him change his mind. But he accomplished his purpose, much to the admiration of the natives, for whose sole benefit he did it. MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS. The story of his mysterious disap pearance Is striking and interesting. On Aug. 9 Lieutenant Peary and Mrs. Peary started with some Eskimos for the head of Inglefleld Oulf, at which place Mr. Verhoeff left them and went on the private excursion to Robertson Bay, which, in the opinion at that time of nearly every member of the party, terminated In his death. The day fol lowing Peary's and Verhoeff'a depart ure all of the members of the relief ex pedition save one proceeded to the en trance of inglefleld Gulf, where they camped for three days, hunting, gather ing botanical specimens and studying the movements of glaciers. The camping party returned to Mc- Cormlck Bay shortly after midnight of Aug. 12. Early on the following day Mr. Gibson came back from a hunt In the Fire Glacier Valley. For the first time it was now learned by the mem bers of the relief expedition that Ver hoeff had separated from the party of Lieutenant Peary In Inglefleld Gulf. It was ascertained that three days be fore Mr. Verhoeff had appeared on the shores of McCormlck Bay and informed Mr. Gibson that he was going up the valley to collect minerals and would be gone two days. He then went his way, but six hours later returned unexpect edly and told Mr. Gibson that as his absence would probably be four days instead of two, not to wait for him, but to return to the Red Cliff House, and at the expiration of that time to send him SHELBY t CULLOItf, (From the Chlcaio Timei Herald; SSti the native boat, and as It was not con- sidered safe to traverse McCormlck Bay In that kind of a boat. Instead of com plying with bis wish, Mr. Gibson, on Tuesday. August IS, with Mr. Bryant and three Eskimos, took the whale- boat Faith and went after him. MADE A FRUITLESS SEARCH. A furious storm raged for two day and fears were entertained for the safety both of the Peary anil Gibson exploring parties Both returned how ever Messrs. Gibson and Bryant thor oughly exhausted after a fruitless search for Verehoeff. It had been ex netted that on August IT the belong Inga of Lientenant Peary and the mem bers of the North Greenland expedi tion would be on board the Kite, ready for departure from McCormick Bay homeward, but Verhoeff's continued and mysterious absence compelled the abandonment of the intention. The party was now seriously alarmed for his safety, since Messrs. Bryant and Gibson, with the aid of three Eskimos. had not been able to find any traces of him in the place where he was sup posed to be. A systematic search waa begun at once and continued almost without Intermission for seven iluys and nights. In this hunt the Foury party, the relief expedition, such of the crew of the Kite as could bo spared, and nine ttsKimos participated. For 8ix days not the slightest trace of the missing man was found. The explorers were divided into three parties on the first day, under Lieutenant Peary, Dr. Cook and Professor Heil prin. The Kile went to Robinson Bay and then steamed slowly down the coast, her steam' Whistle blowing at short intervals. The little parties cov ered a tract of territory fully five miles wide and ten miles long, without learn ing anything of the young mineralogist. From Lieutenant Peary were learned the circumstances under which Ver hoeff started on his supposedly fatal Journey In Inglefleld Gulf. He asked permission to go to the Fire Glacier Valley on a two day's hunt for miner als. Knowing that he trip proposed was a safe and short one, Lieutenant Peary consented, provided he would promise to return at the time stated. Verhoeff then started, taking with him three pounds of pemmlcan, a revolver with ilfty cartridges, his geological hatchet and a bag. He returned to Gibson later, as has been related, and then started off again, ANOTHER SEARCH MADE . The anxiety of his safety now became greater than ever, and plans were per fected for another systematic search. Taking twelve Eskimos Lieutenant Peary again entered the Fire Glacier Valley, and -extended the entire party and Eskimos In a straight line clear across the valley from side to side, and advanced with them, step by step, along its entire length and over the ice cap and table land to Robinson Bay. The searching party found marks of Verhoeff's footsteps In the sand and snow, but they were lost near a gorge. He waa then given up for dead, but only after the most conscientious search, had been made for him. Verhoeff's family have never believed htm dead. Rev. Dr. Kelgwln, pastor of the West Presbyterian church, at Wilmington, Del., insists that It Is his nephew that has discovered the pole, and, after crossing it, returned by way of Siberia. Living with the Eskimos In polar fashion, feeding on blubber and raw meat, building for himself houses of ice, it la easy to conceive of him making his way In four years' time across the arctic wastes and returning; on the other side of the world. If it really be that it is Verhoeff, and not Nansen, who Is the discoverer of the north pole, the news may not be a mat ter of surprise to the world. ANENT HOUSEWIFERY. To remove a refractory screw from wood, heat a piece of iron red hot and hold it on top of the screw for a. minute or two, then the screwdriver will easily take out the screw if used while the screw is warm. The cleanest way to drive bugs or roach es from bureau drawers or closet shelves is to sprinkle powdered borax over and around the shelevs, and cover with clean paper.

When the tirst surprise Is past, ask your "sensitive" man to detail exactly what he has seen. He will tell you thut the colors of the lights are not the same on all parts of your body; that your ngnt nana snows a blue light, and your left hand a yellow-reddish light, lie will Insist thut there is the same difference in color between the "luiniii ous eliiuvla" of your feet. Ho will state that the light side of your body and face Is bluish and darker than th left side, which Im yellow-reddish and much tighter. MAGNETS ARE LUMINOUS. It has been known for some time thut under similar conditions In u dark room a magnet emits a blue light at Us north pole, and a yellow-reddish light ut It south pole. The strength of the light varies uccordlng to the power of the magnet und the sensitiveness of th eyes of the subject. It may be one o three eet in diameter, and appears Ilk a fiery flood Intermingled with sparks. Hypnotized subjects frequently siean of this etntiviu from the poles of magnet. Thut their very sensitive ret luae do see these phenomena bus been demonstrated beyond u shadow doubt by such eminent and reliable ail tliorltles as Alfred Russell Wallace Iteichenbach, Deleiize, Desplne, Char pignon, Luys and finally by the greu Charcot himself. M. JV. do Uochas, the director of the "Ecole Poly technique," In .Paris, hus quite recently published the results of his own personal experiments, show ing that these "luminous eliiuvla' ure real and objective, and not Imaginary. Col. de Rochus hus hypnotized, at dif ferent stages, two different subjects ut the same time ami In the same room Let us call tliein A and B. A reported that he could see u luminous or phos Phorescent coating on B's body. Ho could see besides that B's mouth, eyes, ears, nostrils and linger ends were emitting a flame-like light, blue on one side of the body, ana yeuow-reuaisn on the other. Those openings seemed to act like "escapes for these flames, which were distinct from the coating of the skin. A glass of water was put within the radius of B's " urn nous emuvia" as ne scribed by A, who could see how far thev reached. After a few minutes A ronnrted that the water Itself had be come luminous, and that it remained so for a long while, even If removed to the other end of the room out of the reach of B's eliiuvla. B's sensitiveness or the skin was made to disappear by the hypnotic nrocess: but any touch or puncture of a pin or needle on the outside edge of the nhosnhorescent or luminous coat ing perceived by A's eyes was Imme diately perceived by B. His body did not feel the prick of a needle, but the outer edare of his "luminous effluvia several feet away from the skin, had acquired this sensitiveness lost by the body. And here appears a wonderful fact, The water In the tumbler removed to the end of the room had acquired that same sensitiveness. If you pinch the water with your finger or touch It with a pin B will scream that you pinch or prick him. But is will not reel tne ac tlon If performed by a person who has no magnetic relation witn nun. we must conclude that the nervous sensi tiveness of B's flesh has been carried further than the surface of his body and communicated to objects saturated and Impregnated by his "luminous ef fluvia;" also that the sensitiveness of those objects remained in tnem tor awhile, even when removed to a cer tin distance from B's effluvia, loads It self with sensitiveness as calcium does with light; and the energy received adiates from It till it has returned all it has received: In other words, till it is spent or emptied The extent of tne luminous atmos phere around H and the force of the luminous llnmes winch flow from nts nose and eyes and mouth and ears ap pear different to A at different stages, depending upon the deptn of tne hyp notic Bleep Into which H has plunged. When the sleep Is light his sorround ing luminous atmosphere is very faint and shallow; but when he Is thoroughly hypnotized his luminous atmosphere Is intense, and extends far away from him. The Colonel Immersed a small wax statute of a man In this "life" of B that was surrounding his body, and found, that when lie pricked the statue with a pin. concealed from B's eyes, It could exactly locate the pin pricks on his own body, and would exclaim, "You are pricking my arm." or "You are prick ing my face with a pin." The Colonel could not find thut this sensitiveness of B extended more than 1.1 or 'M feet from his body except In extraordinary cases. This so-called "exteriorization" and transfer of a man's senses of fi-eling inanimate, objects lias a wonderful licoring on the suliject of contusion in disease. HUH another bearing of the paint' discovery was illustrated by Col lk Hoihas ni mi experiment with u magnetized metallic crown. This mug nt-tized crown had been originally used for the treatment of a patient In one of the hospitals. When subsequently placed upon the head of u healthy sub ject In the stale of hypnotic lethargy, this subject showed every symptom of the dlKeuse from which the patient who ottginally wore t lie crown suffered. In other wurdM, the "luminous eflluvla" of the sick patient had so permeated the crown thut when it wuh placed on the head of u well man, and the hypnotized, lie caught t lie l incuse from the crown. These Investigations appear to be proof positive of a theory of my own, which 1 have been led to form from re sults attained In various directions. This theory Is that a well man with a strong will Is "positive." I meun to say that this life principle, will, mentality, or whatever you choose to cull It. ex udes from his person, and Hows from liia eyes and ears und other organs, like th long tongues of Hume that we see mounting up from high chimneys at night. Hut In the case of a man with weak will, or of n hypnotized subject, those Humes, or outward visible signs of the Inner lire, are so weak as to bare ly leave the surface of the body. Bo, too, I muy contend that the will of the hypnotlzer and the will of the subject to bo hypnotized struggle tog-ether. The stronger name beats back the weaker; what was at first defeat becomes finally a complete surrender, and the flames of the hypnotlzer's will find their Way to the very brain centers of the hypnotized subject.
