WHY GO MAD.
IFrom London Answers.I

LFrOm London Answers
Peering into darkness or semi-dark-
ness while OF sentry duty has a ten
dency to produce a distortion of vision
which make Of every bush an enemy,
and this has in many cases, even so re-
Gently as the SOudan campaigns, so
affected the nerves of men that they
have had a resulting monomania as to
eternally seeing various creeping OBJ
1ects.
One man in the Soudan saw every
object of a vivid crimson for some
months after being on outpost duty
during an alarm, and he was only cured
with great difficulty. Gen. Hamley tells
of sentries who, IN being relieved, yet
stood stock still, i~mmovable, speechless
and staring fxedly into vacancy In
some cases, after the man had been re-
moved this sort Of hxfty would remain
for hours.
Even in peace time. there was a case
lately where a young sentry wounded
the guard by firing at it under the be-
lief that he saw a ghost; and Lord Rob
erts. in n of his magazine articles, re-
lates that even the most reliable and
truthful of soldiers on sentry often have
the most fantastic stories to tell, due
to shattered nerves. Great numbers OF
soldiers in war time have committed
suicide or accidentally shot themselves,
the cause often being hat they mag
ined they had let some one creep past
them, n had thus betrayed their trust.

AN INTERREGNUM.
Is Discovered to Exist in the Affairs
of Cuba.

of Cuba.
Washington, May 1S.-In request with
Attorney General Griggs, the Judiciary
committee of the house today consider
ed means of dealing with the Nicely case
and like o~ffenses arising in Cuba. The
need of action was explained by the at
torney general in a letter to Chairman
Ray of the committee, in which he said:
Recent offenses of a criminal nature
committed by an employee of the postal
service in Cuba, who has fled from JUS
tice there and taken refuge in the United
States make it my duty to call you at
tention to the fact that the application
of the present extTadlt1on laws of the
United States to such cases is a condi-
ton of doubt and uncertainty which
make it embarrassing 10 h department
of justice to secure the prompt return
of such offenders to the jurisdiction in
which the crime is committed n in
which they should be tried.
'It is obvious that the laws of the
United States ought to provide a sure
and speedy return of fugitives from
justice who flee from Cuba and seek
refugee in the United States. l have
drafter an act which will make the
course of procedure in such. matters
sure and certain and respectfully ask
that it be considered by oyur commit
tee and if found exped1ent that 1t be IN
| troduced and passed as speedily as pos
sible."
The discussion before the committee
took a wide range covering the status
of those officials who are performing
civil functions while the island is un-
der military control. Some of the mem
bers regarded this military authority
as so complete that it covered the cases
of Nicely and other and 0 permit
the military branch to take Nelly in
this country and return him to Cuba.
The view was general that the stu
alton in Cuba was most extraordinary
and complicated. as Spain a relin-
pushed sovereignty. h United States
had not assumed sovereignty, and Cuba
had not organized as a sovereign gov
eminent. J. G.. Ray, chairman, laid
before the committee a. brief bill having
but one section and providing for the
surrender of offending officials of Cuba
when fleeing into the United States
This and the attorney generals bill
were considered at length.

a New Thing in Picture Postcards.

One of the s~trangest examples of the
popular craze for picture post cards in
Italy has recently been patented (writes
a Milan correspondent. The inventor,
SignOr Volpini, of Milan, has made a
picture post card with changing %colors,
somewhat similar to the shot silks
worn by women which at different
angles reflect different colors. Not only
do these colored picture post cards
change under varying conditions Of the
atmosphere, but by their changing fore
shadow a change in the weather. L
Il be something new in post cards,
which, illustrating a pretty scene, will
foretell the weather either by a bright
ening of its color or a darkening over Of
