A Sane Mans Long Confinement In !
French LunatiC Asylum.

French Lunatic Asylum.
Jean Mistral, the supposed lunatic,
who has been confined for years in the
Montpelier Asylum for the Insane, has
finally been liberated after hearing
in his case by the Tarascon tribunal.
His fortune, with the accumulated in
terest, now amounts to 65,000,000
francs. His story is peculiarly sal

whom his relatives expelled from
France in 1887 because she refused in
return for an annuity of 500 francs to
acknowledge herself woman of bad
character. Jean Mistral is a cousin Of
Frederick NJ stral, the poet, and is now
an old man, much bent and with a
frightened manner. He is completely
broken down and his nerves are shat
tered. His experiences in the mad
house were dreadful and totally
wrecked him physically, although his
mind is sound. He refused to believe
that he was to be heard by the tribu-

tears, and it was some time before he
was sufficiently composed to talk.
The president of the tribunal reas-
sured him and then he told his story
lucidly, and in straightforward, logi-
cal way answered all the tests of sanity
and satisfactorily demonstrated that
there was no legitimate ground for his
incarceration. He said he had married
when young man without the con-
sent of his parents an Opera-slngcl
named Dombrowska- The marriage
took place in Posen. The refusal o.
the parents to recognize the marriage
was based on the absence of dot, as the
bride brought nothing with her but vo
cal talent and the money which sh'
had earned by it. Mistral's parent.

OLD MOUNT ETNA


OostructiOn wrought by various Erup-
lions OF This Treacherous Volcano.
The celebrated volcano of Mount
Etna is once more in state of eruption.
Ever since record has been made and
kept CT Etna its great disturbances
have been preceded by earthquakes,
loud explosions are heard, riffs finally
open in the sides of the famous mount
ain. then smoke, sand, ashes and scori@
are discharged, cinders are thrown out
and accumulate around in u conical
form. and at last lava rises through
tie cone, often breaking down one side
of it.where there is the least resistance,
and flowing over the surrounding
country.
| There have been some seventy-nine
recorded eruptions. the most of these
of harmless character. A few only
have been violent. The most noted Of
these eruptions occurred at widely sep
arate periods, but their effects will not
be forgotten while man inhabits the
earth. In the year 1859 an eruption
took place which overwhelmed Ca
tsnia when $4,000 inhabitants per-
ished in the burning ruins. just 500
years later-that is, in 1669-thousands
and tens of thousands persisted in the
streams of lava which rolled over the
adjoining country for forty days. In
the month of May, 1880, several ad.
jacent villages were destroyed, and
showers of lava reached near TO the
Eternal City itself. On November 12,
1882, the town of BrOnte was destroyed,
and in August and September, 1852,
violent eruptons occurred. Violent
eruptions also took place November 28
1868. and May 26 and June Z, 1879.
| The loss of life during the Christian
era has been very great, while the de-
struction of property is uncounted
The condition of the region around
the volcano proper may be readily
guessed when it is explained that there
are two cities, Catania and Aci Reale
and sixty-three towns or villages or

10, 1868 feet. The radius of vision from
the summit has been variously stated
but the mean distance is probably no
far from $50 miles. The reason TO
the large population is found in tn
fact that the surface soil is extremel.

as grains, olives, oranges. lemons
