FAD BECAME A MANIA.
Tempted by Harvard book Plates, n
Doctor Turncd Thief.


II would seem from the experience
OF the Harvard college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and expen-
sive mania. A few years ago the Har.
ward library found that the engraved
labels which II pastes on the inside Of
the covers of Its books as marks Of Its
ownership were disappearing from
some of the less used volumes. The
older book plates, II appears, are high
ly priced by collectors, and some of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well as for interesting
associations with early book collect
ing In this country, These were natu.
rally the special psey of the thief.
Detectives took the matter In hanI
and the offender was discovered with
full evidence of his guilt upon him.
He confessed to stealing the library's
property and TO having II in his pos
session. BY the time the matter reach
cd the courts the greater part OF the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons to whom he had sold or given
them, and, as the prisoner had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put, the college consented TO leave
the matter OF sentence with the court.
which imposed fine OF $3.50 on one
count and put the other count on file,
TO be brought up again later IL II should
be desirable, meanwhile placing the
offender under $1,000 bonds for his fu-
ture appearance IL he should be want
ed.
A striking point In the case Is that
the guilty man is in no way common
criminal. His education (he has de-
gree of doctor) and his taste seem only
to have made his thefts more intelli.
gent and discriminating, however. He
knew the value Of his peculiar booty.
and he knew how TO dispose of 1t, his
very personality being protection to
him in that part of his misdemeanor
Apparently the fad developed to ma.
mia and that to kleptomania in his
mind
A number OF the stolen plates have
not yet been traced at all. and collect
crs have been warned against accept
ing Harvard plates of the older en-.
graved varieties unless there is unmis
taxable evidence that they came hon
estly into the possession of the person
who offers them.

Travellers in the celebrated Death
valley of California have described the
wonderful contortions of the sand pill
lars that small whirlwinds sometimes
send spinning across the hot plain.
Even more remarkable are the dust
devils" seen by Mr.. ii. r. Witherby,
the English explorer, in the valley Of
the White Nile. Sometimes two Of
these whlrling columns, gyrating in op,
posite directions, meet, "and II they be
well matched the collision stops them
and II struggle ensues as to which way
they shall twist. Gradually one gains
the mastery. and the two combined be-
gin to gyrute alike and then rush on to-

ODD CLASSIFICATION.
The why n Carload of Trnmps was
Designated In Mexico,


In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires knowledge and pre-
clsion which can only be attained by
years Of practice. This Is due to the
peculiar classification of various arti-
cles and the different rates of customs
duties. A case recently occurred which
severely taxed the ingenuity OF the
station agent, although he finally sue
ceedcd In meeting all requirements.
The town was overrun with tramps,
and the council determined that steps
must he taken to rid the city of them.
II was finally decided TO round them
up and ship them out of the country.
IL would he too expensive to purchase
tickets, so they concluded to hire stock
cars and ship q cir tramps as freight.
The cars were procured. and by the
nld of the police the tramps were gath
cred, but then the question arose as to
how the shipment should be designated
OH the bill of ladng.
The term persons" could not be
used, as II would conflict with the state
law relative TO proper accommodations
for the travelling public, and II would
also be In violation of the company's
rules governing the rates OF passenger
traffic. Marketable commodities"
would not do as that would subject
the carload to a heavy duty upon cross

have TO be classified as "perlshable" or

But fortunately there is n customs
