what Nleplomanie !?

Tlcptomania is occasionally induced
by continued and close application to
the study of u particular subject. A
singular case was recently reported
from Germany.
a well known professor was found
to have transferred to his own private
collection many Of the valuable butter
flies of which he had charge in his Of
fetal capacity.
The eXiStepce of mental dcrange-
ment was clear from the facts that
came out in the course of the inveStiSa-
ton afterward made.
1t was found that the professor had
often sent his wife out all day. to catch
butterflies. so intense was his passion
for these insects. On one occasion the
professor. while hunting a butterfly
was nearly run over by an express
train: at another time he fell into q
river. and once both he aud his wife
fell into pond.--BostOn Transcript

WHERE PART OF WHAT YOU
DON'T GET GOES.

John d. Rockefeller draws year
IL income of s6O,OOO,OO0. In other
words. he receives, 1854, 3S5. So per
day, or $14 minute.
For man whose digestion bars
expensive food, whose fear of death
prevents -ostentation. whose most
costly dissipation is golf, this must
leave very pretty surplus.
Suppose he owned a city. Then
ne could employ
Sc, 529 carpenters at 81 so day,
OF rs, $50 plasterers and bricklayers
at $3.50 day, or 72;059 trolley
gaotormen at 1926 a day, or rs, 457
conductors at 81. Is day, or I64, 1888
shop girls at 81 a day, or 547, 4O2
sacemakers at the usual scale of
Belgian lacemakers at 30 cents a
day, or 249, O63 servant girls at 66
cents day, or $50 per month.
If Mr.. Rockefeller, on the other
hand, should decide that his present
force of plain-clothes guards was in
sufficient to protect him and wished
TO replace them with a regular
army, paidsat the same rate Uncle
Sam allows his soldiers boys-$13 a
month-that daily 1854, SSS. So would
employ force of 37S, 1854 warriors.
The army of the United States con-
tains 6O,3S5 men. The John D.
Rockefeller army would be six times
IS large.
Or, IL john D. should become con-
verified to the ''larger-navy" idea.
and expend his daily income on
providing seamen at average rates
of from $16 to $24 a month for
Uncle Sans cruisers and battle
ships, a new set of these craft would
be needed to hold all the men that
this sum would hire. The John D.
navy could boast 249,O64 blue
Jackets.
Divide your own daily income in
to that of Mr.. Rockefeller if you
like and figure out. for yourself the
number of men and women of your
own earning capacity the Standard
Oil magnate could afford to hire.
Where do you get Off"

The state of Arkansas has driven
fire insurance companies out of the
state, and now the manufacturers
are leaving as fast as they can
pack up and geto This is doubt
less very gratifying to the late
governor, Jefferson Davis, who is
largely responsible for conditions,
but it is little rough on the COM
mOnwealth. These is a bunch of
reformers at large in this country
today who ought TO be- colonized
and transported.

On the former site of the Park
hurst church in New York City the
Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany is erecting a fifty story build
ing with 700 foot tower. Only
one structure in the world-the
Eiffel towers higher. The Irish
man wasn't far wrong when he said
they built buildings so high IN New
York that the upper half had TO be
ON hinges so it could be let down
while the moon went over.

The:Northwestern Life Insurance
Co. paid taxes to the state last year,
to the amount of 1914, 900. That
means that the policy-holders of
the company were assessed IA per
cent on their insurance, for the
privilege of portecting their families.
That's insanity under the guise OF
reform. The same principle would
assess a man $14 for every hundred
he had i'll a savings bank.

=. A. Esterbrook, member-elect
of the assembly, has prepared bill
which he will introduce in the lower
house that will make some of the
eastern life insurance companies sit
up and take notice. Mr.. Esterbrook's
bill will provide that no company
which pays any of it's officers salaries
in excess of $25, 900 a year can do
business in Wisconsin. This would
shut out most of the big eastern
companies. The legislative com
mittee which Investigates life in
surance problems had recommended
a bill somewhat similar, but not so
drastic. The committee bill pro-
vides that no Wisconsin company
shall pay salaries in excess of
$25, 900 but says nothing Of keeping
companies who pay more out of the
state.

 A Mexican laborcr employed in tho Nogalcs depot was seriously in- iured last Monday, bot is now on the fair road Co recovery.
 The block of buildings owned by Miss Teresa Tourniel in Nogales, Sonora, fronting the Sonora depot have been entirely remodeled out side and in. and now presents a very attractive appearance and Is a decided improvement to the street.
 To an easterner there appeared during this week in Nogales what would at his home have seemed a phenomenon, and that was the large number of peach trees throughout the town which were clothed with their delicate pink and white flowers in full bloom. Several Illinois gentlemen who were callers at THE OASIS office this week noticed some beautiful trees on the opposite side of the street, and expressed admiration of country for which nature did such wonders.

NoGALES NOTES.

Mir. Con O'Keeie's flat buildings on West street are nearing conn pletion, and when finished will furnish several very desirable and cozy residences for families.
 There has been quite a number of eastern men passing through Nogales this week en route to Mex ican points, looking for agricultur- al and mining investments.
 Extensive improvements are in progress on the large two-story adobe building on International street in Sonora belonging to Miss Teresa Tourniel. An entire new stone front is being put in, the iIl- terior wholly remodeled, cement sidewalks laid, and the street leveled and graded, which when completed will make this property the most imposing on the Sonora side of International street.

GENERAL HUMIDITY
AND HIS COHORTS
DESCEND ON CITY

General Humidity and all his hosts
bore down on washington this morn
ing. and humanity found another way
to suffer The weather man said II
wasn't hot. and what the weather man
says usually goes, but not today.
He says it may rain. but that so faT
as his eagle eye can see there Will be
little change in the temperature today,
tomorrow, and probably the next day.
AT the Weather Bureau the ther-
mometer registered so degrees, while
downtown II pointed degrees higher.
NeitEer counted for much. 50 long as
the public didn't now IT, but there were
plenty of humans who would have been
willing TO state that the temperature
had risen to Is9 in the shade and was
still going up
Along about noon the sun went in for
a spell. and a few clouds went skating
over the sky. That's al the good they
did sweltering humanity down on the
earths surface. and the mighty strain
went on. 1t was hot, Just as the
weather man said IL would be, and when
he makes up his mind TO a thing it's 10
to that's what the good people will get.

Horrible Death.

TANGIER, Morocco, Aug. 1.-The
French cruiser Galilee has arrived
at Casablanca to protect Europeans
who are in danger from the uPris-
ing of natives and threatened holy
war TO drive out all foreign ers.
Notice has been served on the Ba-
shaw that he must protect Euro
peans under penalty of losing his
own head.
With the arrival of the cruiser
the situation at Casablanca is some
what improved. 1t is believed she
can protect all Europeans there.
With 10000 Mussulmans encamped
about the town and agitators
preaching the holy war throughout
the country, the general situation,
however, is critical. 1t is feared
only a great display of force can
prevent the threatened war, and
general attack on all Europeans in
Morocco.
Twelve Murdered and Tortured.
Details arriving today show that
atrocities were perpetrated by the ma
tives who invaded Casablanca. yesterday
and murdered twelve Europeans. Two
of the victims were burned alive; others
were stabbed and stoned.
These helpless victims. dying from
the injuries inflicted, were tortured by
children, who amused themselves by
couginz out the eyes of the sufferers
and driving splinters under their anger
and toe nails, or into their flesh.
While these outrages were being per
netrated. the Bashaw's soldiers stood
bv without raising a hand.
Despite the arrival OF the Salllee, tor-
eigners are in & state Of terror. Today
scores boarded British ana German
steamships in the harbor.
IGNORE Sultan's Authority.
Trouble began on Tuesday with the
| arrival of the chiefs of the Chaoula'
! with a demand on the bashaw for the
| Immediate suspension Of harOor work
! The bashaw's reply was that operations
we're being carried on with the Sultan
consent. The chiefs answered that the
Sultan's authority was no longer recog-
] nized in view Of his compliance with the
| Christians orders.
Tribe5men Invade City.
An invasion OF the city by the tribes
men followed yesterday The harbor
and railway works were attacked and
| two guardians of the port. six French
residents. three Spaniards and one
italian we're killed in the lighting
I Numerous shops under dwelling houses
I we're pilIaged, while mounted men drove
\ through the streets preaching a holy
| war and commanding all Mussulmans
TO leave town as the tribes were about
| to exterminate all Jews and Chris
/ tians.
! When the French consul called on the
| Eashaw and demanded the assistance OF
rative soldiers to suppress the disorders
and recover the bodies of the dead Euro
peans the official evaded his request al
4 first. but eventually furnished an es-
Cort for thu recovery Of the bodies.
| The Frenchmen were unable TO re
| strain their anger when they saw the
! curpses, and after their expressions OF
! resentment the Moorish soldiers threat
ened TO fire on them, forcing them e
flee to the harbor and take refuge or
! the ships, after narrow escape from
the pursuing crowd.
! While the French forces in Morocco
are sufficient to prevent a general mas
! sacre throughout the country, grave
fear is felt for Europeans n remote
! localities.
