Lunatics Sometimes Devise Really Use
 ful Artices.
 It iG stated In all seriousness by the resident physician of q large asylum for the insane near Washington that persons confined in such institutions frequently display an inventive turn of mind. One of his patients, declares this official believes himself shut up in the asylum because of his inability to pay the National debt, and in the hope of raising the wherewithal to defray this trifiing obligation and so obtain release, he has devoted himself to in- venting things.
 strange to say, among a host of ab- sttrd ideas he has produced, two are really practicable. His friends and the physician quoted have supplied him with such harmless materials as he re- quires, and he has lately finished a simple automatic contrivance for the head of tennis racket, to pick up the balls and abolish stopping. It acts perfectly and so convinced are a num- ber 0! officials in the institution that teee is money in the idea, they have advised the lunatics friends to secure a Patent for him, in case he becomes cured.
 His other invention is of a different kind, being a really efficacious prevent i've of seasickness; it is very simple; two of it's component parts are in every kitchen and the rest in every drug store.
 As an instance of the cleverness of the insane, it is interesting to note that g very valuable improvement connected with machinery, now in daily use ev- anywhere, was invented by the inmate of an asylum in Massachusetts, well known to everyone by name. As he is now quite cured and is a somewhat prominent man, his name cannot, of course, be given, but his invention, de- signed and modeled as a diversion while absolutely insane. has since brought nin III thousands of dollars.
 A lunatic in an asylum in Louisiana invented flying machine, together with q unique method of suspending it ill midair.

TUE YEw CRrsrs rY RUSSIA.


 Poor old Russia! The expected news has come from St. Petersburg. An i'm periaI ukase has been promulgated dis solving parliament and fixing the time for the convocation of the newly elect ed assembly at March 5, 1907 A sec- ond ukase places St. Petersburg fin 8 state of extraordinary security by the declaration of minor form of martial law. A large part of the province of Kieff, where armed uprisings are antic- .ipated in consequence of the dissolution of parliament is placed under martial law.
 So fails the effort from which some expected much and others expected nothing. What will happen next? Pos- sibly civil war; and certainly plenty of things. Russia is in a bad way. So deeply in debt that her credit is seri- ously impaired, the country in state of revolution, even her army seriously disaffected, her woes have been added to by crop failures, involving twenty four provinces, comprising 138 districts, with a population of 25,OOo0O0 The de- ficiency of the harvest last year amounted to more than 1890o0O0o hun dred-weight of grain, compared with that of the previous year In some provinces the yield was only one-half and in others but one-third of the amount required to meet the peoples needs
 History has been. is. and will con- tinue to be rapidly making in Russia, and out of the awful mess something better will come. What seems likely to happen first is terrible to think of. The price of liberty in this world is still high.

If he were to be defeated in a district which ought to be good for 5000 Republican majority, candidates in other States who were on the blacklist of the Federation of Labor would shiver. Those who were still on the fence as regards the Labor measure would be greatly moved to come out for them.

SOME MORE TROUBLE.

There was trouble over the horse ears, there was and is trouble over electric cars, and automobiles are dis turbing. Londoners have long grum- bled over their numbering old omni- buses, but some of them seem to think that in the new motor omnibuses they have found a greater evil. Letters are beginning to appear in the newspapers complaining of the noise and odors ac- companying these new vehicles. The veteran Sir Theodore Martin draws a vivid picture of the destructive effect of these engines upon the nerves and property of peaceful inhabitants. He writes that since the motor omnibuses have run, the stencil, the noise, and the vibration caused by these unwieldy ve- hicles have made it next to impossible to live in the houses which they pass. I cannot use my library which fronts the street, because of the incessant roar and smell of these omnibuses run ming from 9 a, m. to past midnight Frequently four of the motor omnibus es pass my window at the same time, The house is shaken from top to bot tom. The ceilings of my drawing rooms are cracked, and the value of the house, as property, is lowered at least 60 per cent. My neighbors must have much the same story to tell Sir Theodore Martin, a scholar and stu dent of ninety years is naturally un- willing that his remaining days should be shortened by these disturbances, He therefore prays that the motor-buses be sent over some other route for the deIectation of more distant neighbors.
 So it goes. But if one lives in civ ilization he must pay the price.

4 COMPLICATED QUESTION.

The Sunday question is still up in Connecticut, and it bids fair to stay up for some time. Some who have been arguing for a freer Sunday have been pointing to the attitude of the Cathol- ic Church, but perhaps they don't know just what that attitude is Whatever it is, ali article in the Catholic Transcript seems to us to take q pretty good atti- tude when 1t says: Whatever seeks to rob the Sunday of its character of a day devoted to religious worship and to legitimate recreation deserves to be cried down. Attractions that interfere with attendance upon divine service should be forbidden, Legislation may not make Sabbatarians of secularists, but at least it should not be interpreted so as to divest the Sunday of it's sac red character, or to pervert it into a day given over to commercial pursuits. Certain works are of their very nature as necessary on Sunday as on other days of the week and the workers must be there, a privileged class whose labor at times contributes more to the real observance of the Sunday than the fool hardy campaigns of misguiding zealots. The Lord of the Sabbath once said: ''The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath The forces that would lberalize the Sunday need watch ing as much as do the prohibitionists Somewhere between these two is the middle course which while it comedies rest and proper amusement to wearied nature, still provides that the Almighty shall have on the one day of the week that is prominently His-the tribute of His creatures.
 This is well said. But. just how to have q sensible and modern Sunday doesn't seem to be settled yet, and Ii will take some time to settle it.
