likely to assume jurisdiction of this case
The reason is based upon the conviction
that the court will not hold as was done

The peculiar form of insanity which
prompts people to smash works of art in
frenzy seldom attacks the attendants in
museum. But there was one such case
the other day at Naples, where an attend
ant suddenly became wildly excited and
began smashing things. 1t was in the
Museum of Archaeology, and before he
could be secured he had shiyered to atoms
Chinese vase of exquisite workmanship
valued at over 100000, and a still more
valuable treasure, an ancient Egyptian
chariot, which was valued at over $780,
600. The mailman laid about him furious
ly at other objects of great value, and
when they finally had secured him and
took survey of the battlefield they found
that the value Of all the objects broken
by him amounted to the immense sum of
$1,25O,000 Of course, most of the objects
smashed were not SO badly damaged but
that they could be patched up again. so the
actual loss was not SO great; but some
things were gone beyond repair when the
man had got through with them.
This madman's exploit caused SILVER
OF apprehension among all the curators of
museums throughout the world. 1t is
hard enough to guard treasures of art and
archaeology against the public, but when
