having alighted undetected, she began to run toward the protecting rail did the guards suspect her design.They rushed to hold her back from the gulf, into which she stared, for one brief instant, with\u2019 the rapture of the hypnotized when they render the obedience thelr master has rcquired.Without & word she flung herself headforemost into the surge and passed over the dread precipice to

flowing in a perpetual cataract of splendors through a ierarchy of rainbows down to the deafening abyss below, onward, ever onward, downward, ever downward, calling and drawing with a lure greater than the deeply rooted love of life.This is Niagara today-\u2014Niagara, the Moloch which, within the last three months, has achieved the terrible distinction of drawing, with the hypnotic power of its sights and sounds, nearly a dozen men and women down to appalling death.Is the time at hand when this pride of a continent, vaunted across the world as the unapproachable grandeur of a hemisphere, endeared to generations as the scene of love's crowning bliss, must be barred and imprisoned within the majestic solitude of its greatness lest the demon of destruction, to whom it has given such swift and fearful birth, become utterly uncontrollable in its demands?wrought by Niagars during the three months preceding this, to compare Its horrors with tha crimes of the ancient Moloch and the ravages of the oriental Juggernaut.Between July and Octob®r, of this yaar, two men and three women complied with Niagara's terrible aummons wnd plunged into the raging chasm; three Men were found

most overmastering of hypnotic suggestion, and such an is commensurate with the magnitude and might of Niagara, The most ambitious efforts of the most advanced hypnotists In France have not gone beyond the endeavor to compel post-hypnotic compliance with trance suggestion.lompared with the hypnotic power repeatedly exerted by Niagara, their achievements are puny.On October 4.Mrs.L.1),

science, in the discoveries to come, will recognize in the terrible com pulsion of a word some occult force which, if not hypnotism itself.is in some manner akin to it.Scores of people whn never saw Niagara have responded to its unheard, unseen spell and have gone stralght from thelr homes in far citles to deliver themselves.eager victims.into its murderous embrace.The same lure that icads to suicide, in the proper sense of self-murder fully premeditated.has made Niagara conspicuously tha scene of deeds of daring which are to he distinguished from suicide ofily tn the nature of their

Rev.Dr.Jackson.The morning text was from I.Sam, 7 chap.and 12th verse, and the subject, \u201cOur Fbenezer.\u201d In opening his dis- rourse the Rev.Mr.Cobbledick stated that what distinguished the Hebrew race from the Philistines with whom they wared for centuries, was the spirit which stirred an ideal in them, which enabled them to render a service _unioue in history.\u201cThe Stone of
