Remarkable somnambulism.

Two remarkable cases of somnain.
bulism are reported from Berlin. A
boy and girl, aged about IL, sudden
~ developed somnolency. While
playing in school they suddenly fall
asleep; also while walking, standing
or speaking, so that they do NOT
finish their sentences. If they are pus
to bed and afterwards awake, they
try to continue the conversation
which was broken off by sleep, and
answer questions which were then
asked them. Montreal Star.

How She Fooled the Thief.

Some years ago one of the present
congressman from New York State
and his brother were examining the
stock of pawnshop in London with
the hope of picking up some curiosi-
ties. They came across a necklace of
green glass beads, which the New
York man purchased for $3.50 in
tending to bring it home to his little
daughter. The brother was sur
prised to find in the shop n counter
part of this necklace which he
brought home to his little girl. Two
months later the latter showed her
gift TO the ieweler, who pronounced
the glass beads to be emeralds. and
who sold them afterward for several
thousand dollars. The member of
Congress, upon hearing this, took
his necklace to the same dealer. who
pronounced it to be composed OF
glass bends. The London pawn
dealer had purchased them of thief.
who had stolen them from wealthy
woman. The latter kept the emer-
aids in a safe, and wore their glass
counterparts. OF course no one
could tell the difference when the
necklace encircled her throat.

THE RAUM INVESTIGATION.
Deputy Commissioner Lincoln DOesn',
Think the Files System Works Well

Deputy Commissioner Charles T.Lincoln was
the first witness today before the special House
committee investigating the charges against
Commissioner Raum.
In answer to Mr.. Cooper he said that his at
tontion had been called by the commissioner
to Lemons letter recommending the completed
files system about November 20 last
The letter inclosed 80 test cases alleged
to be complete, and ON examination
and reported that half were incomplete. Since
then he had been told by chiefs of divisions
that the percentage Of cases really complete as
now selected upon request OF attorneys was
really less than In tho case OF the thirty tcst
oases, the estimates Of completed cases ranging
from 10 to so per cent
DIDN'T WORK WELL UNDER TANNER.
The witness read letter from Assistant
Chief Bryan, dated November 20, saying that the
system Of completed slips had been tried by
Commissioner Tanner, and, in the opinion OF
those competent to judge, had no. resulted
favorably. Not more than per cent of the
cases were really complete.
Even II the attorneys acted in
good faith, only q small proportion Of their
selected cases would be found perfect, and
what would be the condition Of the "a per cent
system had not been fully tried under Com
missioner Tanner. yet one attorney had nearly
swamped the Office with his cases, and 1t was
not possible to consider others.

MEN

their cases to settlement. The witness said
that his assistants were unanimous

all cases. The effect Of the order had not been
to stop work on all bit completed cases. but
