tons OF those found in the human body.
Here are found all the bars, levers,
joints, pulleys, pumps, pipes, wheels
and aSles, ball and socket movements.

CALLED HIM MAD.
Yale Boys Play Prank Which Nav Hase
serions Results.

A New Haven, CT, despatcb to the
Boston Herald, says: Whether half a
dozen Yale sophemores will be evpa,Icd
from college or Will fall into tba laws
clutches for telling an nntruth about a
classmate, and, for a practical Joke. get
ting him locked up and handouffed as a
lunatic, cannot be foretold. The chances
are, however, that they will be severely
punished for the most cruel practical
joke at Yale in years.
The victim was Harry o. johnson. %
years old, who home is in Machias, Me.
He is difident young man, andsis hav-
ing an uphill fight to work his way
through college. He earns his board by
being employed as carver in Yale board
ing house kept by Ezra Young.
Yesterday morning some of Johnson's
classmates started what they imagined
was Ia joke by whispering about that he
had gone insane. At dinner they spread
the rumor that he was violent in the
kitchen. This caused stampede in the
boarding house, and when the renort
reached Mrs. Young she believed johnson
was tearing about the kitchen, brandish-
ing the carving knife and yelling. She
notified the police. and Superintendent
Wrinn sent squad OF six armed police
men to capture the ''raving maniac.''
The police found johnson with a car
wing knife in his hand, and shouted to
him to drop it, To their surprise. he
obeyed, las he also did their order to throw
up his hands. He was handcuffed,
bound securely and landed in the tra1nps'
room in the police station, where his
case WAS entered as violently insane. -
Later he was taken to Springside, the
town almshouse and placed in padded
cell.
By this time an investigation had been
started at the college, and President
Dwight had been appealed to by the
young maps friends. He summoned a
couple of specialists on nervous diseases,
who drove out to Springside. They found
johnson NEARLY wild at his confinement
in the place, but unable to understand
why he had been arrested. He was re-
leased early this morning.
johnson may institute heavy civil
suit against his tormentors. There is
great Indignation at the college over the
outrage.
