eight tiny cells. These cells are lighted

greater than loop holes. barred heavily.
Sometimes two lunatics. or fools, as
they were called then were imprisoned
in one cell. Walls and floors are still
studded with rings and bolts to which
these unfortunate creatures were
chained with enormous iron fetters.
Very quiet lunatics were taken for
occasional walks through the corridors,
and sometimes even in the garden
paths. The Emperor often visited the
tower TO assure himself that his regu-
lations were being observed faithfully.
He had written them out in his own
hand. and the most minute and trivial
details had been provided for by him.
But his efforts were without scien-
titic aids, and as n result the inmates
were treated as dangerous and disgust
ing creatures. The cells Containing
the violent ones were not opened
oftencr than twice month, when
powerful men would enter, seize the
prisoners and drag them out TO wash
cleaned-the only time when that was
done. The feeding was done by means

noisy and violent were thrown into
cells that We're entirely dark. and If
that did not quell them they were put

until they wer exhausted
Chains and cold douches and dark
cells were used until near the middle
Of the last century. and it was as late
AS 1863 before the violent insane were
removed regularly to asylums that
were really adapted for the purpose ac-
cording to modern ideas.
This Vienna fool tower even in it's
worst days, was a haven OF rest com
pared with many OF the other prisons
for lunatcs that still existed then in
Europe; and the Vienna treatment Of
the luuatic was enlightened compared
with the Ideas Of such eminent and
well disposed men as Professors Idcler
and Horn. Of Berlin. who wrote learned
treatises in which they argued FOR the
useful and benefcent physiological and
psychological effects OF instruments of

worked itself out.

An interesting bit OF history lies be-
hind the labor conditions among the
miners of Colorado, as shown by
Frank l.. Mason in his novel The
Blue Goose Mr.. Mason was for a
while resident in the Colorado min
ing district, and had ample experience
with labor troubles. The "redn ele-
ment In the mining districts of the
West he declares, is directly connected
with the MOLLY Mcguire" movement,
which terrorized the coal mining re-
gions of Pennsylvania couple of de-
cades ago. ''When the Molly Magu-
ires' were broken up" he says, 1.-The
disorganized fragments drifted to the
Occur d'Alene districts Of Idaho, and
inaugurated there the same reign of
terror enacted in Pennsylvania. But
they over-stepped themselves, and the
gang was broken up again by the Fed
eral authority. The leaders and many
followers went to Colorado, and one of
the largest mining centers invaded
by them was that of San Juan County,
in which the scene of The Blue Goose
is laid. They continue there in their
old game of stirring up trouble. 81
Curiously enough since the book was
written there has been a strike in the
district, somewhat similar in it's fea-
lures to that described by Mr.. Mason.

The Fisherman's Ring.

The famous Fisherman's ring, which
according to the cabled reports, can
not be found among the effe cts of the
late pope, is a plain gold ring, inclos
ing a cameo, on which is carved rep
resentation of the miraculous draught
of fishes. The history of the ring can
be traced back for about 1000 years,
and legend associates it with the found
er of the Roman church. At the death
OF each pope it is broken and the gold
is melted down and made over into a
new setting for the cameo. With this
ring are sealed the papal bulls, which
usually conclude with the phrase,
"Under the seal of the fisherman"
Sub anulo piscatoris). The ring has
been lost or stolen many times before
now, but has also been restored some
times, perhaps, because it has little or
no intrinsic value.
