insanity In the Lower Animals.

Darwin declared that insanity was
not peculiar to human beings, and as
serted that other animals often become
insane. According to DR.. Snelison, the
lower animals. without exception, at
times labor under delusions like those
of insane human beings. They work
themselves into frenzy Of insanity.
and this il applicable to birds. cats,
dogs. monkeys, cattle and horses. Mr..
Richard Kearton gives instances of
birds developing forms Of insanity.
Razor-bills. he says, are somewhat shy
bird. and yet on one occasion when
$50 Dutch fishing-boats landed at the
capital of the Shetlands, in order to
hold their annual feast before start

place was literally crowded.. a razor
bill came in from sea, and began to
cut such odd capers within a dozen
yards Of the crowded esplanade as
made everybody who saw 1t wonder.

had never seen a bird act in such a
fashion, and that "it must be mad" He

In the report of the Hongkong Med

pages are devoted to the Tung Wah

this institution. in which more than
four-hfths Of the inmates are treated
by so-called Chinese methods, is some
what anomalous in a British colony.
Without discussing the expediency of
humoring the prejudices of the Chinese
population. who outnumber the Euro
peans by twenty to one, he is of opin-
Ion that from a medical point of view
the hospital ought to be abolished, al
though he admits that 1t serves a use

tutes and a resting place for the dying.
