BAVARIA's MAD KING.
The Poor Fellow Has Been Crazy Kfore
Than Half His Life.

The Poor Fellow Has Been Crazy Kfore
Than Half His Life.
Should the Bavarian deputies indorBe
the action just taken by the upper house
in deciding to place the insane King
Otto under guardianship and transfer
the crown to the madman's uncle,
Prince Lr,itpold, regent and heir pre-
sumptiye, this royal maniac will lose
entirely the fictitious bauble of kingly
authority which he has never been per-
mitted to exercise The story of the mad
monarch's life reads like some strange
tale of the middle ages
Otto is now 46 years old and has been
insane more than half of his life. He
nominally succeeded to the throne June
13, 1885, when his brother, King Ltd
wig II-who had been deposed three
days before because his insanity had
become ndurable-committed sui
eide by drowning himself in the lake q
Starnberg, in the park of Berg castle,
to which he had been removed for saff
keeping. Ludwig had been crazy for
years upon music and palaces. King
Otto never actually reigned. Prince
Luitpold, his uncle, was appointed re
gent when King Ludwig was dethroned
and has been the real ruler ever since
then.
Otto has long been confined in this
castle of Fuerstenried, in the midst a.
dense forest, not far from Munich
The most disag1eeable task Bavarian
soldier has to perform is to do garrison
duty there, the gloom of the surround
ings being intensified by the dreadful
appearance of the mad monarch HIS
hair is long and unkempt, and his bushy
brown beard reaches below his waist
His eyes are usually fixed on emp&=
space. He is always dressed in black
broadcloth. At one time he fancied that
his carpets were made of the finest glass,
and that it was dangerous to tread on
them. He would not be content until
they were all taken up Another hallu-
cination was that the walls of his apart.
ments were hung with newspapers He
would sit for hours facing wall, read
ing aloud what he imagined he found
in those newspapers. He smoked SONS,
thing like a hundred cigarettes day a,
last accounts, using up box Of matches
to light each one, taking childish enjoy
ment in the flash and crackle of the lit
tie bits of wood. Once it occurred to
him that it would be amusing to shoot
peasants, and he sat at window all
day long with gun, watching like !.
hunter for his game. His attendants
would load the gun with peas instead
of buckshot, and man in PEASANTS
dress would pass within range occa-
sionally. The king would shoot, tbs
man would drop, and the apparently life
less body wruld be removed by guards

themselves with cigars and without

"Ah, have it," remarked Yung.
"Come over to the Manufactures build

They walked to the booth, and as tse
proprietor wasn't there Jim took the
liberty of helping himself to the great
pile of wax matches.

marked. "He's got wagonload here
and don't want them"
Happersberg commenced filing hk

ed Jim as he commenced loading his
clothes. "a few wouldn't come amiss

Then they walked out locking like

matches ON his trousers the
whole length of the building, but the

slick streak on his pantaloons.

"What matches?"
"Why, yours We helped ourselves
to box or two, as you weren't there. :"
"Oh, there is no phosphorus on

HUMAN COMEDY in STONE.
The Busts Which VIII Adorn the New ]
brary Buildings at Washington.

The Busts Which VIII Adorn the New L.
brary Buildings at Washington.
Nine busts in granite have been fin
ished for the exterior decoration of the
new library of congress in Washington.
The worthless who first come to the front
are Walter Scott, Dante, Demosthenes,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emerson, Irving,
Goethe, Benjamin Franklin and Ma
caulay.
Judging by Newspaper cuts, great
variety of expression has been obtained
by the respective artists who have made
these nine busts.
Walter Scott has the intent, forward
gaze Of a college sprinter waiting fe'
the word ''ge." Dante looks as if DR..
Chauncey NJ. Depew had just refused to
accommodate him with pass to Buffa-
10. The model who sat for Demosthenea
was Puck's Weary Waggles Benjamin
Franklin is slyly chuckling over his sue,
cess in lodging big charge of electrici.
ty in Nathaniel Hawthorne's back hair.
Macaulay has put on beautifully and
symmetrically curled wig. Ralph Wal
do Emerson has got the railroad pass
which Dante missed Washington Irv.
ing is listening to the Hon. Amos j.
Cummings latest and best anecdote, and
Goethe has just caught through his
alert left ear az invitation to drink
from a man whom his soul loathes.
For picturesque animation the work
of the seven sculptors seems meritorious.
IF this is only beginning, the front OF
the new library buildings bids fair to
be human comedy in stone. The ap,
pearance of the second nine will be
waited with great interest Washing

THE DOOR OF PLANTS.
1t Comes From the Heart of the Flower
Usually, Sometimes From the Leaves.

1t Comes From the Heart of the Flower
Usually, Sometimes From the Leaves.
The various delightful or disagreeable
odors of the plant family usually reside
in the flower itself, though in some
species the seas is in the leaves and stem
or even in the root. In either case the
odor il due to the presence of volatile
essential oils, usually of resinous ma
ture. The number of these oils is IN
known, and their nature is so complex
that even a slight variation in the tenn
perature or in the quantity of light
falling upon them is sufficient to cause
q Encouragement of their component ell
ements resulting, SO far as the smell is
concerned at least, in an entirely differ
ont compound.
Prophylic ether, which is an exam
pie of these unstable compounds, can,
by slightly different Arrangement of
its elements, be made to yield either the
odor of pineapples or that of decaying
fish. The reason. therefore, why each
species and kind of plant has a differ
ent odor is the ease with which one per-
fume may be transformed into another.
Sufficient cause for such transition is
often found in the mode of life of each
variety Of plant and the difference in
their chemical constitution.
Whatever in any way affects the life
Or growth of plant rapidly shows its
effect upon the flower and its perfume
The nature of the soil and its humidi-
ty. the variation of temperature or the
intensity of the sunlight will sooner or
later transform the entire nature of
plant, for, as has been fully shown
above, one plant. in order to produce
exactly the same perfume as another,
must not only be of the same species,
but live in the same elements, earth,
air, etc. 1t must also absorb a similar
amount of light and breathe the same,
which would, of course, necessitate
lea yes similar in size, color and shape

ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR.
l Curious Process Which Has Met With
Soma Succass Tn Franco

A Curious Process Which Has Met With
Some Success In France.
A very novel method of making sug.
ar has been patented in France by M.
Pellegrini. Sugar is chemically com
pound of carbon. oxygen and hydrogen
In such proportions that if carbonio
acid, water and certain kinds of illumi.
mating gas could be persuaded to unite
in the proper quantities the composition
of sugar would be exactly initiated
Hitherto no one has been able to make
sugar by mixing water with two kinds
of gas, but NJ. Pellegrini claims to have
succeeded. The apparatus he uses con.
sists of large block of pumice stone,
cleansed by soaking first in sulphurio
acid and then in water, which is set in
an iron box plated with nickel inside.
The length of the box is three times
that of the pumice stone block, which
is tightly fitted in the middle, and pipes
are arranged to convey the ingredients
to the empty ends of the box, as requir-
ed. Two of them enter from the sides
and serve to bring carbonic acid and
hydrocarbon gas, while another pipe
from above branches so as to reach both
empty portions of the box and conveys
steam. All the pipes are fitted with
valve and pressure gauges.
Another pipe at the bottom Of the
boz serves as an outlet. At first this
pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe
from above, and carbonic acid is forced
into one end Of the box, while ethylene
gas is forced into the other under equal
pressure and in equal volumes. 4 few
minutes later the steam valve above is
opened and the steam forced in under
the same pressure. As the gases unite
the pressure falls, so that the supply OF
each must be kept constant. AT the end
of half an hour the supply of gas is shut
of, the outlet pipe is opened, and one Of
the chambers is found to be filled with
strip containing % per cent of sugar
The strip is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool it
is ready for fresh charge. The ethy.
lene gas can be obtained by roasting
rosin or grease, but N. Pellegrini's pat.
ent covers other hydrocarbons, such as
petroleum products The explanation is
that the three gases are condensed in
the pores of the pumice stone and there
