CORNER IN MUD.

Mud seems to be the latest com
modify which has been cornerad. The
monopolist is the well known Bohem
ian watering place F'ranzenbad, whose
wonderful healing mud baths are
famous throughout the world. The
news of Franzenbad's business enter
prise became known in the course OF
a lawsuit at Eyer between the Saxon
government and the municipality OF
Franzenbad. Saxony has a watering
place also with mud baths, Bad Elster,
Some time ago Bad Elster entered into
negotiations to buy large area Of
ground containing mineral mud de-
posts near Franzenbad. When the
Bohemian town heard what was going
on, it promptly decided to head off its
Saxon rivals, and stepped in ana
bought up the land. The Saxons were
greatly aggrieved, and carried the
matter into the Bohemian courts
which decided against them. During
the trial it was stated that, although
Franzenbad already possessed an irl-
exhaustible supply of this precious
mud, the town had spent over 1,000,0Qa
crowns in buying up all the mud
lands in the surrounding country fn
order to secure the exclusive posses
sion for all time of the valuable head
ing remedy.
