Munkacs, Hungary, October 10, 1874
has been virtually dead to the world
since the paralytic shock which, in the
latter part of 1896, compelled him To
abandon all hope of ever working at
his easel again. AT that time he was
at Godesburg. For months he sat
brooding and melancholy, until. in an
excess of madness, he suddenly attack
ed and nearly strangled his attendant
and his physician. He was Immediate
ly removed to an insane asylum, from
which he was removed to the retreat

were poor, and before he was seven
years old he was left an orphan and
given over to the charge of an uncle at

Edward Atkinson Believes 1t was
SpOmtaneOus Comb bustlOm.

Boston. March 23-Edward Atkinson,
the we'll known economist, in an inter-
view to-day stated that since the recent
disastrous Windsor hotel fire in New
York he had given considerable thought
to the possibility of preventing like
occurrence in the future. Mr.. Atkin-
sons theory of the origination of the
fire, from the facts which appear, is
spontaneous combustion. He says it is
probable that the fire smouldered for
long time and that gases generated by
the slow combustion invaded nearly
when the blaze finally sprang up, it
spread to every part of the building
almost simultaneously. 1t is thus that
Mr.. Atkinson explains the numerous
fires in different places in the building
which were noted in the Windsor fire.
Such fire, he explained could only oc-
cur in such building as the Windsor,
commonly known as the Cellular type.
When asked for remedy Mr.. Atkin-
son replied that in his opinion no fire
in the world could success
fully cope with a fire under such cir
cumstances, in such structure, but
nevertheless, it would be possible in a
great measure to protect life He sug-
gests a line of automatic sprinklers
carried near the ceiling, with sprinkler
heads designed to throw sheet of water
toward the ceiling and walls. Water
flowing from these would retard the
of the flames sufficiently for
every person in the hotel to escape be-
fore the condition of the building be-
