LUNACY AS A PROFESSION.
Isle of Wight Man Evinces an IN
accountable Desire to Stay
in An Asylum

A man has just been discharged
from the Isle of Wight asylum under
extraordinary circumstances, having
twice feigned madness with such sue
cess that he was committed to that
institution as dangerous lunatic.
Ten years ago he started on his
career as professional "lunatic,"
and he was the first inmate of the
Isle of Wight asylum. AT that time
he was soon discharged, as the
asylum authorities were satisfied he
was shamming.
About a month ago he arrived at
Cowes from Southampton, where,
seemingly under the influence of
drink, he was chasing children and
women in the streets and acting in
an extraordinary manner. When
taken to the police station he spoke
of military relations and millions of
money, but as the local doctor sus-
pected he was shamming he directed
his removal TO the workhouse.
There he INDUCED in window
smashing, and having done consider
able damage he was removed to the
asylum as a dangerous lunatic. The
medical superintendent at once rec
ognized him and turned him out. The
mysterious individual refused to re-
turn TO the workhouse and has not
since troubled the authorities.

PINK MONKEYS IN DANGER.
Worlds Supply of Absinthe May Be
Shut Off by Switzer-
land,

Pea green elephants, pink monkeys
and white blackbirds, together with
the flock of flamingoes which absinthe
drinkers insist have roamed at will
about Central park, may soon become
extinct by reason of the action of the
Swiss government.
Nearly the entire quantity of alb
sinthe imported into the United
States is distilled in the canton of
Neuchatel in Switzerland. Virtually
all of it that is imported goes to the
leans and San Francisco.
Because of the great evil resulting
from the habitual use of poison, there
is a movement on foot in Switzel
land to prohibit the production CT
absinthe and even to forbid its sale
within the republic.
The manufacture or distillation CT
ahsinthe is government monopoly
in Switzerland. The estimated reve-
nue. to the government is about ST.
000, 600 a year. This revenue is dis
| tributed by the government among
the various caatOns or PROVING 5
with the proviso that 10 per cent OF
it must be expended in promoting the
cause of Temperance.
Now prohibition is in the ascend
tancy in Switzerland and is seeking
d constitutional amendment to forbid
the distillation and sale of absinthe
and to enforce absolute prohibition
| through the entire republic.
The movement, according to Consul
Clifford at Basil, has given a great
impetus because of the fact of an
absinthe-crazed father in the canton
of Vaud, in killing his wife and chill
dren.
With any diminution in supply in
Switzerland the Importation to the
| United States must come from new
source.

CARRIAGES DUST CAMELS.
Riding in the American
Vehicles.

Milk white Arabian steeds and all
the other color of horses in Arabia,
as carriers for travel or pleasure, are
being displaced by American built
carriages and carts.
Instead of mounting fleetfooted
camel or a horse with the speed of
the wind to make his excursions into
the desert the Arabian climbs into a
buggy or a cart built in Indiana or
New York and drives off like any
other civilized citizen.
Consul Masterson at Alden, the
chief C ity of Arabia, reports that of
all vehicles imported during the last
year three-fourths Of them came from
the United States.
The American hickory vehicles are
preferred to those of India and Eng
land because of their staying quail
ties. 1t has been found that the
American built wagons, carriages and
carts withstand the hot dry climate
better than any others.
All of the $50 public carriages in
Alden are of American manufacture
and are lightly constructed so that
one horse may pull four passengers.
The real Arab of wealth and fash
ion likes victorias built in the United
States better than any other. He
also uses American harness because
the makes of other countries are too
heavy and cumbersome.

REMARKABLE SODA SPRING,
Through Which Stream
Passes.

Undoubtedly one of the most remark
able springs in the world has recently
been discovered in New Mexico. 1t is
literally spring, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal, saturated with
sodium sulphate. Distilled water
weighs S.33 pounds to the gallon. The
water of this spring weighs 1866 pounds
per gallon; and evaporation yields 3.13
pounds Of dry solid matter, of which SO
per cent. is sulphate of soda, crystalliz-
ing out chemically pure.
The sulphate of soda crystal contains
81 per cent. water. At ITO degrees F. it
melts in its own water of crystalliza-
ton; and the temperature of the spring
being slightly in excess of ITO degrees
F., the saturated liquid upon overflow
ing and cooling Immediately forms a
crystalline mass like ice.
The natural inquiry arises as to the
deposit or accumulation of ages from
this spring; for, unless it discharged
into stream of fresh water, the deposit
would be vast in extent. No more fit
ting location could be imagined, for it
is in the lowest portion of vast sink
or basin, scores of miles in extent.
The deposit, therefore, has formed a
vast bed, miles in extent, of solid sodium
salts, through which this spring, by rea-
son of its heat, maintains its channel
and continues to augment the deposit
Inasmuch as the soda crystal eff1oresces,
or gives up its water by evaporation, the
elements serve to smooth and level the
surface; so that the lake, though dry, is
white as snow and bears some resem-
blances to northern lake in the en-
brace of winter.

CHANCE FOR A DULL PUPIL.
Educational Experiment Which Has
Solved Most Vexing Modern
Problem.

The superintendent of the schools
of Batavia n. Y, has apparently
solved one of the most vexing ques-
lions which have to do with modern
education 1t is a realization of the
Pestalozzian theory that each pupil
has right to be educated personally
for what he can best achieve. For
many years it has been charged
against the public school system that
the standards were set for the clever
pupils to the detriment of the back
ward and dull ones. If the Batavia
experiment" as it is called, proves
after long trial to do what it is hoped
it will then primary education will
be infinitely bettered.
Mr.. Kennedy, the originator of the
scheme, proposed to the governing
board of Batavia to procure the serv-
ices of an extra teacher for each
room whose duty it should be not to
listen to recitations, but to help and
encourage any pupils who were fall
ing behind the class. 1t was to be
entirely a work of sympathy and de-
manded great tact and discernment.
The plan was tried in single room
and the result was so marked in both
pupils and teachers that the expert
ment has spread rapidly and is being
introduced in all the better schools
in the United States.
Its value can not be overestimated.
The teachers are stimulated to do less
nagging, while the pupils themselves
are relieved from going beyond their
ability and strength. And the effect
on health of the children was also
marked. No books were taken home
for night study and six times the
ate from the high school.

Flying Across the Continent

Across the contirent in less than
three days, which has just been accom-
plished by Railroad President Harri-
man, is a record which makes the hair
of oldtimers to stand on end. 1t comes
so close to Puck's girdle of the earth
that one has to blink few times TO see
If this is an age If fact or only of
oriental fancy. There are still living
many of the argomuts of 1910, men who
brayed every danger to reach the gold
fields of California. Six months used
TO be good time limit for the trip TO
San Francisco. Now it is only II hours.
Yet we must not forget that II was the
men of courage and persistence who
made the six months trip that eventual
ly built the road that makes a tour TO
California a mere pleasure trip instead
of the event of a lifetime.

TROUBLE WILL BE SETTLED
Plumbers and Steamftters Will Get
Together on Terms

Satisfaction is expressed over the
outcome Of the controversy between
the United Association Of Plumbers
and the International Steamftters
union, which has been before the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor conventions
for several years. The problems in
volved in this dispute have proved the
most vexatious and complicated of any
which the federation has handled.
Under the new arrangement, it is
planned to have the rival organizations
settle the matter definitely for them
selves. Within ninety days from the
close Of the convention Representatives
Of both sides will meet to try to come
to some settlement satisfactory and
agreeable, and in the event that this
joint committee is unable to do this,
the whole question will be referred to
the executive board Of the American
Federation Of. Labor.
There is little doubt that the fac
tions will make an earnest effort to
come to some solution, because it is
well known that if the federation ex-
ecutive board takes the matter up
neither side is likely to get just what
is wanted, while it is possible to effect
mutually satisfactory compromise
among themselves. g. s
