THE PAsTDIEs OF LUNATICs.

Some of the inventions of the in- sane are of scientific value. A patient at yillejuif invented a qualification machine" by combining a bottle, a plank and small metallic tubes. to which he had fitted faucets. Hav- ing set up his machine, he produced loayes of bread the size of a mans head. The bread was good-so good that is was decided to make the ma chine known. One day when 1t was in action the doctor suggested talk ing a photograph of 1t. The inyen- tor watched him as if petrified for moment: then he fell upon the ma chine, wrenched 1t apart. and tram pied fl underfoot. The invention an exceedingly useful one--was lost. because no one had seen him make it. and no one dares speak of 1t to him. To allude to 1t Is to bring on a furious attack. Most lunatIcs, no matter how eontented they may be. generally cherish a furtive longing to escape. They collect wax from the polished floors. take the impressions of locks. and make keys from empty sariine boxes. spoon handles. or any thing to be found. Dr Marie's mu- scum includes a collection of knives Of strange and unheard-of shapes. Some of them have blades made from pieces of glass or slate and set In handles of corset steeis Objects harmless in themselves become dam gerous weapons through the Ingen- ulty of madmen.
 Insane seulptors are as common as insane painters The insane sculp- tor hews out coarse statues. fam tssfic animals. ferocious little horn ed Erimsciug devils. An ex-me- ehanic earves all his soup bonss That his old trade is still in his memory is shown hy the little screEs that hs makes out of the smaller pieces of bone.
