influence has long been dominant in
the group, the island OF Mayotta hav-

forty years ago, under an agreement
reatiirmed in 1916. Johanna, on the
island of the same name, where the
new treaty has just been signed, has
long been port of call, at which ships
obtain provisions; and to some extent
the other two islands-Angaziya or
Great Comore and Mohilla-have also
furnished supplies. The soil is fertile,
though the islands are mountainous,
and no doubt they will do quite as well

A DEPLORABLE FATE.
A Sane Mans Long Confinement In q
French Lunatic Asylum.

Sane Mans Long Confinement In q
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 a hearing
in his case by the Tarascon tribunal.
His fortune, with the accumulated in-
tercst, now amounts to 65,00O,000
francs. His story is a peculiarly sad
one. He is now searching for his wife,
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 q cousin of
Frederick NJ stral, the poet, and is now
an old man, much bent and with
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-
nal after so many years of disappoint-
ment and neglect until he was actual
ly taken there. Then he burst into
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
lucid!y, 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 a young man without the con-
sent of his parents an opera-s!nger
named Dombrowska. The marriage
took place in Posen. The refusal of
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 she
had earned by it. Mistral's parents
declined to allow any income, and he
and his wife lived for some time on the
proceeds of her operate engagements.
After a while Dombrowska's voice
failed, and then they became itinerant
musicians and managed to exc out a
scanty sustenancs. The wife at last
consented 70 a temporary separation in
The hope that her husband would be-
come reconciled with his parents, and
be relieved from the hardships which
he was obliged to endure.
AS soon as Mistral placed himself
within reach of his relations they had
him arrested on q charge of lunacy.
From that time to. this he has net seen
his wife or heard any thing about her.
Now that he has come into the family
fortune he will probably spend the rest
Of his life in trying to find her if she
has not died in the meantime.
Tie Paris newspaper Voltqire took
up cases Of this sort three years ago and
began vigorous agitation in behalf Of
sane persons confined as lunatics. This
instance excited wide interest and SO
fiagrant case of wrong will probably
lead to the repeal of the lunacy law as
itsnow exists In France and remedial
legislation on the subject.-Paris Cor.

0estFaetioa Wrought By various Erap-
tiens OF This Treachereus volesno.
The celebrated volcano of Mount
Etna is once moro in q state of eruption.
Ever since record has been made and
kept of 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 scorie
are discharged, cinders are thrown out
and accumulate around in a conical
form, and at last lava rises through
the 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
aratc periods, but their effects will not
be forgotten while man inhabits the
earth. In the year 1869 an eruption
took place which overwhelmed Ca.
tania, when $4,000 inhabitants per.
ishcd in the burning ruins. just 500
years later-that is, in 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 adj,
jacent villages were destroyed, and
showers of lava reached near 10 the

1892, the town of Bronte was destroyed,
and in August and September. 1852.
violent eruptions occurred. Violent
eruptions also took place November %,
1868. and May 26 and June z, 1879.
The Joss 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 on
Mount Etna. Indeed, it is much more
thickly populated than any other part OF
Sicily or Italy. No fewer than 800, 0O0
persons live on the mountain. The
area of the region described as the
mountain is approximately 48O square
miles. The height of the mountain is
1O,868 feet. The radius Of vision from
the summit has been variously stated,
but the mean distance is probably not
far from $50 miles. The reason for
the large population is found in the
fact that the surface soil is extremely
fertile. and the vine fourishes, as well
as grains, olives, oranges. lemons,
figs and others fruits. The forests
are extensive and valuable. The des-
ert region, which is nearest the OPEN
ings of the cones, is embraced between
the limit of $500 feet and the summit.
1t occupies an area of about ten square
miles, and consists of dreary waste
of black sand, scorie, ashes and mass
es of elected lava. 1t remains in au-
tumn, winter and spring permanently
covered with snow, and even in the
height of summer snow may be found
in sheltered places in the neighbor-
hood of tue summit. Chicago Inter
