"MOON TOUCH. "
These Are the Days In New Jersey
when People Become Real
"Lunatics."

In all the varied experience of the
Camden police and hospitals at no time
has there been so many cases of insan-
ity as during the latter part of the sum-
mer. In most cases the Authorizations
of the unfortunates were grotesque and
were attributed to the action of the
moon.
This statement seems absurd, but it
was made recently in the course of
conversation with an authority on men
tai airlictions, who also made the decla-
ration:
Hundreds of people annually become
temporarily demented by the cold rays
of the full moon"
The majority of the cases occur in
torrid ATTITUDES, and the distorted fea-
lures of the aborigines of Central Amer
lea are caused by moon rays. Not in
frequently this peculiar influence eX-
erted by that luminary travels over the
continents in zones. Anyone who wants
to try the experiment will get the effect
by sleeping at night under the rays of a
new moon. Should the eXperimenter
happen to lie in the zone lii by the men
tal-disturbing rays the rising sun will
find his features horribly distorted and
the mind back of them on a rampage.
Sleeping tramps in the fields of this
latitude suffer the most from moon
touch"
The case Of Frederick Jones. a tramp,
who was arrested by Police Sergeant
Abbott, of the Third district. Camden.
on July 10, was a case of "moon-iouch."
The moon was "fulling' then, and
Jones looked as if he had been tout with
the moon" His mouth was twisted over
and had nearly caught on the upper lobe
of his ear. His nose was twisted. a la
"Bcrgerac," while the "moon-touched"
eyelidS were, in sailor parlance, "sky-
whitfield"
Another "moOn-touched" tramp.
found on July Is, near Collingswood, y.
j., stood almost motiunless in a field for
hours. His clothes were decked with
branches of leaves.
Seldom are the cases of "moon-touch"
eitherviolent or dangerous, and, though
sometimes prolonged, the waves of lu-
macy are uncertain and ether-lite and
peryade the air. Not infrequcntly these
''moon-touch" waves in a particularly
clear and dry month simulate cases of
sunstroke.
"Noon-touch" frequently causes aim
less wanderings to the subject. The
"mOon-touch" wave zone is running
through the middle states now, and the
doctors say: Look out for distorted
faces and increased cases of insanity
about August 20. That is full-moon day
for this month. "-Philadelphia Times
