agitated and showed me that he was sin

every word was true. He told me of his
loss of rest
DO you recognize domestic trouble a
cause of insanity?''
'I do.''
In answer to to a question about pro-
portion of domestic trouble causing in
sanity, the doctor pulled out some tables
from institutions similar to that over
which he presides and said that they are
from 20 to 40 per cent. of the insane cases.
In his institution alone there had been
7lS cases. Mr.. Wall then put hypotheti-
cal question embracing all the points in
the Barker case, and asked where the
recital of wrongs had been made to a
nervously constituted husband would he
be incapable of determining right from
wrong?"
"It would render him so,'' said the doc
tor.
The case adjourned until today.

LIQUID Air for Blessing.

Liquid air has been tested for blasting
purposes in the Simplon tunnel. The cart
ridges used consisted of a wrapper filled
with a carbonaceous material such as
equal parts of paraffin and charcoal and
were dipped bodily into liquid air until
completely soaked. The cartridges were
kept in liquid air at the working face of
the rock until required for use, when they
were out quickly in the shot holes and
detonated with a small guneotton primer.
The life of such a cartridge is very short
after it has been removed from the liquid
air-Exchange.

REYNOLDS TRIP TO SALEM.
Sheriff Linvllle Made the Lunatic Think
He Was Getting His own
Way.

John J. Reynolds, the Oregon City
lumberman is safe In the asylum for
the insane al Salem, where the money
money barons Of the metropolis can
not get to him. Sheriff Linville took
the man 10 the capital and were 1t
not for the fact that a lunatic Is always
dangerous the details Of the trip would
be highly amusing.
II viii be recalled that when Rey-
nolds appeared in the office Of District
Attorney Harrison Allen he unfolded a
narrowing tale Of persecution at the
hands Of Eastern multi-mlllionaires who
were continually pursuing him. He
confded 10 Mr.. Allen that two of his
fellow laborers were "Old man Van
derbilt," and L. H. Letter in disguise.
When the commitment had been made
out for Reynolds confinement in the
state asylum Sheriff Linville had the
pleasant prospect Of the trip with him
Instead Of making him feel the laws
restraint the sheriff automatically told
him that he would go with him and
arrest his prosecutors. On the trip "a
Portland he was quiet and except for
his monomania was rational in his con-
versation. AT Portland the sheriff left
him at the prison and after few
hours absence returned with the in
formation that the men they wanted
had gone to Salem. Reynolds was
anxious to go to Salem and after ar
riving at the capital it was only q
question Of a quarter Of an hour be-
fore he was in a padded sell, and duly
entered on the books as legally in
sane.
Even after his incarceration Reynolds
apparently did not realize his predica-
ment. and when the sheriff left he was
told to hurry and arrest Reynolds pur-
suers. while ne waited. and it Is quite
probable he will wait for some time.
