ton will supersede the old. cumbrous,

died of physical exhaustion. This boy has a
rather good-looking face, but his powers of
reason have wholly departed. In his
waking hours he has not been known
voluntarily to be still half-minute at
time in more than four years. He runs OF
hops from end to end of the Poorhouse
grounds, picking up pieces of sticks and
weeds as he goes, and nibbling at everything
he can find. His speech has entirely failed,
and he merely utters a harsh cultural sound.

smile on his face, as long as the patting
continues. When bedtime comes he has to
be caught and strapped in bed. and as soon
as released next morning he resumes his
walking and keeps it up all day. He looks
strong and physically well, but he has even
forgotten his own name and pays no attan-
ton to any remark addressed to him. He
even eats his food while standing on his feet
and keeping up his incessant motion. Efforts
have been made to confine him on a chair to
eat. but his keepers are satisfied that he
would starve to death before he would eat if
he were not permitted to move round
