VICTIMS OF HELIOCY.
Lunacy Said to Be a Misnomer in
Many Gases.

Lunacy Said to Be a Misnomer In
Many Cases.
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
In an article yesterday the Democrat and
Chronicle expressed the opinion thot il
careful observation were made it would
probably be found that insanity and nerv-
Gus affections prevail most during periods OF
great magnetic disturbance. This opiaion
was the result of observing reports OF cases
of sudden insanity during the suu-spot max
imum Of 1885, .'65, and Of the present very
marked disturbance of the sun aud the mag
netic force.
The Post Cypress yesterday took occas-
ion to make inquiry of the superintendent
of the poor ia regard to the comparative
number OF the insane. The results of the
INQUIRIES were stated as follows in its local
columns:
Last wear there was q remarkable IN
crease in the number of ineaue persons over
the number of the year previous, but the
preseat season bids fair to beat the record.
Superintendent Of the Poor McGonegal said
this morning that he thought the number OF
insane cases reported TO him recently would
average one day for the last two months.
Yesterday he took testimony in three new
cases, aud this morning two more were
brought efore him"
These statements are an unexpected veri-
fication Of the views expressed by the Demo-
crdt and Chronicle. We had no idea that
the increase of insanity had been 50 marked
during the present period Of great electrical
disturbance. The facts thus set forth may
throw much light upon periodic insanity.
The proper method Of treating such cases
Is apparent In a majority OF cases the
mental alteration Is merely temporary,
and ceases when the exciting cause ceases
20 act. That cause is undue electrical ex-
element OF our atmosphere from the dis
turbanoes on the sun, For long time the
moon was considered the cause OF insanity,
and insane persons we're called lunauc, but
the proper name would be helioue, as the
sun Is the real cause Of the nervous atocs
ton.

PRAIRIE FIREMEN.

Cow Dragged Over the Line.
From the Chicago Herald.
Whoever heard of killing horse or an
ting out prairie fret What dweller in the
Dskotas has not heard of iti For it is fire.
quently done by the settlers of the new
northwest, where prairie fires are greatly
dreaded menace to life and property.
Every dweiler of the great northwest is
more or less familiar with prairie fires.
They have often at nightfall seen their lurid
lights in the distant horizon, or by day their
huge volumes OF smoke rising and bending
with the clouds, and many are even familiar
with the consuming march OF the flames
themselves. Probably the first intimation
the settler receives OF an approaching fire
comes from the falling of burned particles
of grass that have been carried long dis
tances by strong air currents.
Later on smoke may be seen on the dis
tant horizon, which increases in volume apd
blackness until the whole sky may be dark
ened, or IL the night be coming on the
flames will light up the whole landscape
and their glow will be reflected above. The
wlse DaKotau has bis farm or ranch pro-
tected by flrebreaks. These are usually
made by blowing two strips few burrows
wide and several rods apart and burning
the grass between.
There is but little likelihood of putting
cut a Dakota prairie fire during the day, as
wind, which Is almost invariably blowing,
and which the fire seems TO greatly Increase
in force, never lulls until the coming of
night Then, though there IL no dewfall in
that region, the fire burns less hercely and
may be at times entirely extinguished. The
most successful method Of putting out a
fire, and one frequently employed, is 60 kill
horse or COW and, splitting the carcass,
drag it along the fire line and over the
flames, which are thus extingushed.
This is done by attaching long wire ropes
10 two limbs OF the carcass, to each Of
which is hitched horse on which is an ex-
perienced rider. One of these horsemen
rides on either side of the line Of fire, and
by skillful refining they draw the body of
the dead animal directly over the flame.
Sometimes fresh hide, weighted down
with pieces of iron fastened to it, is used in
stead OF the carcass of an animal By this
method line of fire twenty miles in length
may DE eXtinguished in one night. Men on
foot usually follow after the horsemen and
put out any fire that may remain after they
have passed.
The scene presented by such a company
OF IRE fighters Is extremely weird and one
Which beholder is not likely to forget.
Fortunate it is if those interested complete
tneSr work before the coming of dawn, for
II they do not the rising Of the wind may
