EDUCATION CAUSES LUNACY
such is the Theory Set out By a
Learned French Physi-
clan.

Copyright 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS. Aug. 16.-(New York World Ca
blegram-special Telegram )-Dr. solners
has just read before the Academy Of Med
icine a remarkable paper on which he
seeks to establish a correlation between
the Increase Of insanity and crime and the
general diffusion of knowledge. According
TO his daring theory, which is plausibly
built on numerously observed facts, edu-
cation acts upon certain brains In such q
way as to produce cerebral disorders
which may be likened TO those produced
by poisonsi upon the stomach and intes-
tines. Even superficial knowledge, such
as is impaired in primary schools or alb
sorbed from a newspaper, he declares, is
sufhcient to cause minor crevices in the
gray matter, which are responsible for
many yet uncatalogued forms Of lunacy
DR.. Solners concludes that this world is
getting too complicated and that it's COM
plication is made too constantly present
to every mind by conversations, books.
newspapers and spectaeles of the busy
modern life.
He took a list Of the abnormal hap
penings of last week to demonstrate his
theory, discussing each case. Among the
Instances cited were the following: An
"NAhoh abSu ~ Guuutulg became
insane while looking at the engines Of the
ocean liner Lorraine
farmer In the course Of a recent con-
troversy moved of both the legs of his
opponent with a scythe.
school teacher, fascinated by revolv-
ing knives, jumped into a huge clay mixer
in porcelain factory and was chopped
up like sausage meat.
A miller, suddenly seized with an insane
frenzy while watching the swift moving
Hour rollers, precipitated into the machine
his own 5-year-old child, whose legs were
ground before the belt slipped owing TO
the choking resistance.
Two Russians, man and wife. were rae
ing In an automobile down a steep noun
tain along precipice when the woman ex-
claimed: What II we should swerye ?''
Her companion before he could resist the
impulse obeyed some insane suggestion
provoked by the remark and whirled the
machine abruptly into an abyss, where he
was killed and his wife was severely in :
jured.
DR.. Solners mentioned many other in
stances from which he argued that the hu-
man race now Is composed mostly of la
tent lunatics, whose individual lunacy NAV
remain inoffensive until death or NAV
break loose suddenly under combination
OF conditions not yet scientifically deter

CHARGES FRAUD AT LoURDEs
French Engineer Asserts Only Small
Part of water sold Comes

PARIS. Aug. 1s-(New York World Ca
blegrsm-special Telegram. Louis Probst,
government engineer, asserts that the
most Of the water used to give the pill
grims at Lourdes does not flow from the
grotto, where the virgin is said to have
appeared, but is brought from river in
neighboring cave through subterranean
pipes, said to have been secretly laid By
monks years ago. Engineer Probst occu-
pies a high position here and is a firm
believer in the Roman Catholic religion.
A year ago he took his wife, who was
AFFLICTED with a malady the doctors had
pronounced incurable, to Lourdes, expecting
cure by a miracle, but as soon as she
plunged into the tank she died, While the
arrangements for her funeral we're being
made the engineer spent several days in
observation. He noticed that the water
used in the bottling department did not
taste like that In the grotto, and 1t oc-
CURED to him that the enormous quanti-
ties consumed could not be furnished by
the scant grotto spring. Afterward he got
authority from the government to investi-
gate, and now he has made a report. in
which he gives a chart of underground
channels and analyses showing different
chemical elements in the waters.
Last year nearly 100000 pilgrims went
to Lourdes, and the monks in charge con-
tributed s250,00o to st. Peters papal fund
besides buying more lands and buildings.
Lourdes was a mere hamlet fifteen years
ago. Today 1t is a beautiful, solidly built
city Of 5000 inhabitants.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The recent i'm
portation into New York Of seven cases Of
water from the famous spring at the Shrine
Of Lourdes, France, caused much trouble
to the customs authorities of the port In
deciding whether It was dutiable or not.
The board of appraisers, Of which ex-Judge
somerville Is the head. examined witnesses
and have reported:
'It (the Lourdes wateT) is not used as
a beverage, and 1t possesses no mineral
qualities and is not medicinal. 1t is taken
by certain religious societies. only few
drops at a time, in faith and confidence,
being supposed to possess remarkable heal
ing qualities in cases Of sickness.
1--WE find, accordingly, that the water is
ordinary water, without mineral qualities,
and is not, therefore, mineral water In the
meaning OF the law"
The remarkable feature about this is that,
while the water from Lourdes Is declared
to be nondutiable, the report upholds the
collecting Of a duty of "a cents gallon and
1 cent for each glass bottle containing 1t,
on the ground that in making his protest
