vent to my feelings by loud 'huzzar l
again woke TO darkness ard solitude In
this worse than prison. The revulsion
was so great that | burst into tears and
wept like Child, and it was long time
before could command myself. l wish
there was some living thing with me, ii it
were only fly or spider; but, alas am
not so fortunate. / pray aloud, repeat

"ELEvaNTH DAY-Suff,r red horribly
from hunger yesterday, but could not
touch the cheese. To-day, in my agony,
made desperate attempt, land worried
down a considerable quantity. It does
not satisfy my hunger; it is not digested,
but lies in my stomach like stone. My
headache is so severe that / can only
write little at time. Am too weak to
work any more.
THIRTEEETH DAY.-Remember but
little of yesterday. Think 1 must have
been delirious. My head feels very light,
and | write with difficulty. Do not sleep,
but frequently faint away.
FOURTEENTH DAY. cannot live

fragmentary.) Last will-test- Pet

Here the writing stopped. The lister.
ers drew long breath, and for q few mo-
ments nota word was spoken as we sat
wondering over the strange fate of him
whose earthly remains were lying in the
next room. Tom, who had been taking
notes during the reading, was the first to
break the silence.
"This account" said he, "would be OF
great interes: TO Psychologist. l have
come to the conclusion that healthy
man, under good hygienic surroundings
might maintain his existence for twenty
days or more upon cheese alone, since
this man, in close confnement,andi in want
Of light aud fresh air, has by his record
lived nearly fourteen days. How in the
world he could have lived so long under
the circumstances is wonder"
"Ah," said my host, medita!iyely, while
filing his pipe, but he was a Scotch
mani
On the following day the funeral took
place, and We deposited the remains in
the public tomb until notice could be
given to the attorney whose name was
mentioned in the diary. After we had
each taken copy of the manuscript, We
placed it among the archives Of the vii
lage, where it still is preserved as Gu
riosity, and where any inquisitive traveller
may obtain access to it to this day

A WRITER from Brazil saws that you
will see no potatoes, no corn, 30 fields oi
grain or grass about Rio. The butter
used neatly all comes from England, as
well as cheese, the -four from the United
States, the potatoes mostly from En- gland.
Meats, rather than vegetables, are the
table staples. Rice is used in the place OF
potatoes.

CuriOsities or Figures.

MUCH has been said of late about the
remarkable repetition Of certain numbers
i'll nature and history; and the following
may serve as an interesting supplement.
The figure 8, says German writer, plays
az especially striking role in history, and
1t is remarkable that great number OF
the birth years of the celebrated men Of
the eighteenth century end with the
figure .. He brings the following exam
pies In proof Of his assertion, placing the
year OF birth after The name:
Glenn was born in 1719; Lessing, 1929;
Schubert, 1899; Goethe, 17i9; Schiller,
1859; Arndt, 1863; Oehlenschlager, 1779
Ruckert, 1889; Heine, 1889. These ex-
amples can be considerably increased, by
including non Germans also Jerusalem
and Johnson were born in 1909; Lichtwsr
17l0; Lebrun and Goldsmith, 1923
George SchlOsser, 1889; Lafontaine, 1859
Chateaubria2d, Robert Burns and Caro-
line Pichler. 1863; Van der Velde, Streck
fuss and Fanny TurnOw, 1779; Cooper
and Deinhardstein, 1889; Kepiscb, Balzao
and Puschkin, 1899. Then looking among
the authors and men of science, we have
Gmclin, 1909; Kestner, 1719; Moses
MendclssOhn and Reinhold Forster, 1929
Ritter, 1889; Laplace and Jenner, 1743
Islander, 1853; Alexander Won Humboldt
and Cuvier, 1863; Oxen and Berzelius
1873; Neander and Daguerrc 17SG
Schlick and Ifland were born in 1859
| Rombcrg, 1863; Rossini, 1873; Overlook
Schadow. Horace Vernet and Pierre J cal
David, 1889; and Mendelssohn Bartholly
| 1909.
Some remarkable connection is alst
supposed to exist between figures and tn,
four most important years of German his
tory, 1912, 1880, 1913 and 1866 They al
have an interval of eighteen years, o
2x9, from each other. Add now the figure
1, s, /, 2, and then I, s, 3, O; in both case
we get IL; that is, 1, 2, the sym of whicl
is 8; COW add the figures 1, 8, 4, 8, and 1
8. g. 6; we get in each case by addition
2l, that IS 3, |, the sum of which is ais
"3," also one of those numbers whose re
markabe repetition is inexprcable.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 4.

EXTENSIVE Sw1NrLING The New York
Times of Wednesday says: Colonel Whitley,
hief Of the Secret Service, and Deputy Mar
sha! Winslow visited the United States District
Attorneys Office yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of laying before Judge Pierrepont the facts
concerning somewhat novel criminal case
which the first named officer had worked up. -
They had in their custody prisoner named
Alexander j. Whitman, who was charged with
being the chief offender in conspiracy for de-
lrauiiug the unwary and ignorant, by means
Of paper made to resemble five dollar Treasu-
~ note. The accused was alleged TO belong
to an organization whose obiect was to exchange
their spurious notes for good greenbasks. The
organization was said to have carried on lis OF
cratons principally among the poor ignorant
black and white population in the South, the
sufferers exchanging their good money tor
lot OF worthless green tinted paper. Quite a
fortune ia represented to have been made In this
way The worthless notes bore likeness tG the
Treasury bills ir the figure OF the Goddess OF
Liberty, the portrait of Washington, and the
figure IS" which appeared at the ends, and
also in the color which was given to them, and
were calculated TO deceive an illitcrate person.
In ali respects but those mentioned, however,
they were dissimilar to the Government notes.
The faces contained the following inscription:
The United States Cotton MlllS-good for
five dollars on purchase of one hundred dollars
in goods. Richmond, Va I. Davis, President !;
w. Williams, Cashier. y
On the reverse side appeared the following ::
"Uuicd States of Amcrica-prlce per bale
sixty dollars" They looked very much like
the advertising cards which are made IN m
itatlon OF grccnoackS
Whitman confessed yesterday that the plate
from which the notes were engraved were IN
Philadelphia. He gave the officers the names
of the persons in whose possession they could
be found, and subsequently detectives started
for Philadelphia for the purpose OF making
more arrests. The accused was rcmanded to
Ludlow Street Jail, where he will remain until
further facts are ascertalncd IN regard 10 hiS
past operations. He will probably be proSccut
I'd on the ground Of executing the notes IN I'M
itation Of United States money-a statute
offence.
