we owe to the Egyptians the presetvas

recovery Of many of the truths so
veiled Each of the many discoveries
OF archaeologists in Egypt at the pres

those who hold the astral key Of inter

These spiritual truths became in
course Of time materialized and, losing
sight Of the real mysteries, the sym
bols became objects OF worship. Hence
in this day we see this grandest Of all
cosmic symbols dergraded in popular
estimation to charm or amulet worn
to bring good luck
From the illustration some idea of
the formation of the Swastika and its
relation to the zodiac is seen, the outer
rim being the wheel" OF Ezekiel. and
the four beasts forming the arms Of
the cross, named in the Bible as the
bull tTaurus), the lion tLeo), the
eagle tScorpio, anciently symbolized
as an eagle), and the man (Aquarius)

wickatunk, May 16 last and confessed the
crime. His trial began and ended to-day and JUS
tice Willard P Voorhees, ordered him committed
TO the New York Insane Hospital.
The commitment was made after the justice had
heard the evidence of three physicians, each of
whom declared that, after examination, they be-
leved Zastera of unsound mind. At the opening OF
trial to-day S. A. Patterson applied for the ap
pointment Of a lunacy commission. Justice Voor-
hees required the filing OF petition and affidavit
and then heard evidence concerning the mental
condition of the defendant. DR.. d. Mclean For
man, of Freehold testified that he had examined
this morning and declared that in his opin-
ion the defendant unsound mentally. He could
not however, tell from what special form of in
sanity Zastera suffered.
DR.. Harvey S. Brown. jail physician said that he
had examined the defendant on three occasions in
fall and again this morning and had reached the
conclusion that he was mentally unbalanced. He
said that Zastera displayed considerable egotisrn
believing himself very strong musculary and 81
great artist and musician.
Dr. w H Hicks who for the last sixteen years
has been connected with the Essex County Hospital
for the Insane testified that he had made his first
examination Of Zastera on June last, and that he
had made examinations and observations OF the
defendant on seven other occasions. On his first
examination he found him suffering physically
from nervous prostration He had Zastera play the
VIOLIN he said, and had found the music he pro-
duced expressionless and such as he had many
times heard played by persons suffering from de-
mentia. DR.. Hicks said that Zastera told him he
belonged to the Black Hand Society. that he had
belonged it years and that all the prisoners
in jail also members. Zasteras special form
of insanity he declared, was dementia precox.
This disease he said, is progressive, and he de-
clared that Zastera would grow worse instead of
better.
The prisoner was conveyed to the asylum at =
o'clock this afternoon.
