The same metals act differently upon different somnambulists. Many cannot bear iron, others gold or silver, bur generally gold acts beneficially upon them, but in many cases its action is exciting. Bochard, in Heilbronn, could not put a girl, eight years old, affected with chorea, into the magnetic sleep, when he forgot to remove the two gold rings he wore from his fingers. Silver placed on the region of the beset of Dr. Haddock’s somnambulist Emma demagnetized her; Dr. Haddock could not mesmerize her as long as she had a piece of silver on her head. A looking-glass held before the somnambulist Petersen gave rise to muscular contractions, which terminated in spasmodic actions; spasms were alto induced by her holding zinc or iron in her hand. Silver bad a calming effect; copper produced no result The somnambulist Koehler magnetized by passes a piece of steel, which attracted large needles, whereas before it only attracted iron filings This subject was so sensitive to the influence of mineral magnetism, that she felt the presence of a magnetic needle from afar, and could act upon it with the finger, and even by her mere look and will, according to the statement of Bahr and Kohlschulter. From a distance of half a yard, she made by her look the magnetic needle decline 4° to the want, and a like result recurred three times by the influence of her mere will—on one occasion the needle turned to 7°, always westward. A similar fact is confirmed by the Countess R., who, by approximating her breast to the needle, set it in a trembling motion. Prudence Bernard, in Paris, by moving her head to and fro, made the needle follow these movements. (Galignani's Messenger, October 31, 1851.) Count Szapary records a similar phenomenon as occurring in a somnambulist.

{{Style S-Small capitals|A correspondent}} of the London Medium, "Cosmos," says: Two books, “Art Magic” and “Hafed," which have recently issued from the spiritual press, are causing some little controversy. I have read them both with interest, and must say I do not go to the length of the disputants The one party declares “Art Magic” to be a mere hash up of ancient superstition, and “Hafed” to be untruthful and contradictory; the other tide glorifies the works as almost divine. At a Spiritualist of tome years' standing, I have learnt to check my enthusiasm, and judge of mediums and books just as I would of any other matter, never allowing preconceived opinions to warp the judgment. It must be patent to all that “Hafed,” it a singular work. If it were free from error, it would be the only spiritual production that ever was. I fancy I can see in the writing of Duguid very much that has been transplanted from the brains of himself and the circle. As to " Art Magic," it must be admitted that there was too ranch mystery in its annunciation to the spiritual public: but why should Mrs. Hardinge Britten be blamed? It is no fault of hers that the author is so eccentric Had it not been for her services the book would not have been published. The mean fellow who grumbles that he gave £1 for what was worth only 4s. deserves no sympathy. He joined “the noble six hundred,” clearly aware that it would take the sum stated to produce the book, and he has sot the slightest rigid now, because he can't become a magician—that is to say, he will not follow the hard path indicated in the work— he begrudges his money. Sometimes I indulge in a ticket for an Art Union raffle, but because I don't win the first prize, or, indeed anything at all, you don’t hear of me blowing-up the bookseller who sold the ticket. When you do, class me alongside the dissatisfied one I allude to.
