New Form of Temporary Insanity.

New Form of Temporary Insanity.
Actor Ludwig of Berlin played in a
Cologne theater the part of prosecut-
ing attorney who, in q state Of aberra-
ton Of mind, carries out burglary.
This was in play by Lindau, entitled
1.-THE Other" The actor, after the cur
tain had fallen, went home, and on the
way broke into jewelry store and car
ried off a mess of jewelry in exactly
the same manner in which the burglary
is presented in the play. The courts
pronounced the actor not guilty, hold
ing that he acted under an imperative
conception which temporarily had de-
ranged his mind. The prosecutor ap-
pealed, but higher courts sustained the
decision of the lower court.

A New EldoradO.

The newest of western mining camps, the Cochiti camp, in New Mexico, lies near the ancient Indian village of that name on the west bank of the Rio Grande, southwest from Santa Fe. The mines lie in lodges which cross at right angles the walls of three can- yons, the Cochiti, the Pino and the Peralta Some of the ores already taken out there are very rich, and, if the claims as to their abundance are verified in the continued working. Cochiti will prove one of the great gold-bearing districts of the United States. At the mouth of the Pino, the central canyon of the three, the hum- ming, brand-new town of Allerton is situated. Two smaller town sites, Kent City and Eagle, have been laid off, about six miles to the cast and to the west, respectively. A few frame and more log houses are interspersed among the tents which constitute the greater part of the residence and busi- ness structures of the camp, in which about two thousand people abide. Saloons end gambling and dance houses are plentiful and busy, and even the "old timer" with memories of Dead wood and Leadville, admits that the Cochiti has generally the symptoms Of booming camp.

 Compost ions Common Yeats Ago.
 Some twenty-five years ago there was a style of musical con. p',N:;.on much in vogue known es ''variatiuns,' says 2 writer in the Atlantic Monthly. It ap peared in dozen page sheets entitled ''Home, Sweet Home-with var;ations;' Coming Through the Rye with varia tions;'' ''Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother" (also with variations}. The distinctive plan of these compositions and, whatever their individual char acteristic, they were, as whole, with out variation-consistcd, first, in a brace or two of banging prelude. close ly followed by simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated," which was next heard be hind thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned deep dis guise in the bass. to become barely recognizable in the treble with trills, ditto in bass, in the treble with runs ditto in bass. and finally lost itself in company of crashing chords so over towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye" or ''Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother"
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters; that is tc say, it has affected the entire twenty. six, as well as the select seven to be found upon the piano eyboard. It doesn't nowadays satisfy a writer tc say, merely: "One summer morning fine and early, was walking through the woods" He immediately gees on (taking the word early as his key note): ''Thc sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last night dew" Then. with fine" and summer" as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luXuriant footprints of Iight-step- ping summer" Starting next from (D "1," CD walking" and (3) woods" he informs us: "As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the crackle of a dry stick was heard and a startled gray squirrel scampered up the giant oak On my left" Da capo: On such . glorious morning was glad simply to be alive, as were we all-young-rlsen sun. trees, flowers, moss aud little gray squirrel" And so, diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength Of the writer, it is, however, more easy to de- Lermine.

Working uorr in Germany,

The hours of the German laborer are very long, frequently exceeding fifteen hours day, but there are certain regu- lations in factories that are rigidly car ried out in regard to women's work. All factories where women are en- ployed are registered, and only eighty hours year overwork is allowed. Children under thirteen cannot work in factories, although the law is often cvaded by making them work at home. Strange as it ,eems, the state is more merciful to the children than the par snts; in some villages children three years old are kept busy threading needles. Thuringian watch-makers keep their children working from Sat urday noon until Sunday morning at two. After two hours sleep they must work again until church time.

Lord DunraVen Has spent a Fortune Try.
 ing to Beat the Vigiiant.
 Yachting costs a great deel of money, especially such yachting as is iadulged in to capture and defend the Americas cup, remarks the New York Tribune. 4 friend of Lord Duuraven said recently that the earl told him that the total cost to him to build, equip and run the Valllyrie, together with his travelling expenses to win the America's cup would be fully one hum dred and fifty thousand dollars. The syndicate which built the Vigilant subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars originally, and has been called upon for an assessment besides. so that the total outlay upon the cup de- fender is not far from the amount eX- pended on the Valkyric. Add to these sums the money which the Jubilee, Colonia and Pilgrim cost their owners, and the total cost of the latest strug gle for the Americas cup amounts to almost five hundred thousand dollars.
 The honor of holding the America $ cup, however, cannot be reckoncd by dollars and cents, and American yacht men would not have been willing to part with the trophy at any cost. The practical benefit to boat building and the pleasure and profit to be derived from pure and manly sport must be added to the credit account.

 Sir George Campbell records in his Indian Memoirs a very strange habit of native mothers in the ncighborhood of Simla. He seems inclined to recom- mend its adoption in England, but per haps he is speaking ia jest.
 Iwonder not to have seen more no- tice of the curious practice of the hill won en of ? I.ting tlcir ba5ies' heads under a spout of wa ter to send them to sleep and keep them quiet. When the new cartroll was first made, there was a village at a halti1g-place where rows of such children night be seen in 8 grove close to the road.
 The water of a hill spring was so adj justed as to furnish series of little 'pouts, each about tho thickness of one's little finger. Opposite each spout was a kind of earth pillow, and little trough to carry away the water. Each child was so laid that one of the water-spouts played on the top of it's head. and the water then ran of into the trough.
 I can testify that the process was most successful. There never were such quiet and untroublesone babies as those under the spouts. The people were unanimous il asserting that the water did the children no harm, but on the contrary, benefited ana invig- orated them. Tn fact, they seemed to think that Q chill not subjected to this process must grow up soft-brained md good-for-nothing

The kingpin of the solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, tho colossal giant Of all the Sun-i.iSscd worlds. :" His diameter is about S5,00J Of our miles, being about eleven times that of our own globe; the rcunfcrence 2T5.O miles at the equator, which would give the giant Q volume exceed ing that of the earth by l, ,2S4 times. Were it'possiblc to bring the earth and Jupiter 50 close together that the dis tance separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the moon-about 240, 900 miles-what wondrous sight would be in store for the residents of our lit tie globe. The world of Jupiter would appear to us to have q diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attendant, and the surface of his disk would occupy space greater than that of 1,G00 full moons. And this giant of the planets is re- moved from the sun by distance of 49G, 000.CJ0 miles: has an orbit Of more than LOCO, 010 O00 miles in extent, and mak9s circuit of it's lestial traci; once every 1892 days.
