Does rapid transit from the lowlands
and heavy atmosphere of the east, to the
light air and high attitudes of the CONT
mental divide induce insanity? The
above question is suggested by the many
cases of mental alteration occurring on
the westbound trains with Cheyenne as
their eliminating point. Within the last
few years crazy men and women from the
East have made Cheyenne a western des-
t~lnafion ad mfaitum, and in all cases these
people were in the usual mental health
OF eastern folk when they left home. Is
this due to climatic influences, or are we
an asylum?
