Jealousy as a Fatal Disease
The Institute of Science at Limoges Finds Real Case and
Declares That the Complaint May Naturally End in Death

upon the body, producing irresponsi-
bility for ones acts, as well as that
peculiar kind of stupor or half
drunkenness frequently evident in the
motions or the speech. so familiar tc
those who have been affected.
The French Institute dealt re.
Gently with the case of a death from
jealousy, the victim being cashier
in business house, Martin by name.
Aged twenty-oight, Martin was. or
had been, physically perfect type
of manhood. For two years he had
paid his addresses to young woman
who appeared to reciprocate his af-
fections. Some months before their
intended marriage, the woman proved
false and deserted her lover for an
other man. A normally-constituted
man, and in excellent health, Mar
tin did not allow his grief to prevent
him continuing his professional work.
He endeavored with all his will to
live down his unhappiness, avoiding
all excuses, abstaining totally from
alcohol, and keeping the brain so cool
that it was thought he would soon
recover from his ill-starred heart-af-
fair. Despite the exercise of his will,
however, Martin, who was sensitive
soul, could not forget. The memory
of his lost girl was always with him
and soon, owing to loss of interest in
his work, he was forced to leave his
employment. The old remedy of
change of scene, etc." was recon-
mended to him, but without avail.
Martin could not forget. Neither did
he pine away, for he retained his
usual robustness to the end; but he
died. No malady known to medical
science could be given as the cause
of his decay, and it was therefore re-
solved to hold post-mortem.
1t was found that the heart, far
from showing signs of being in that
condition which we call broken"
was healthy, all but in the case of
certain ventricular muscles which
lay directly in the plane of communi-
cation with the sensory nerves. The
ventricles showed an abnormal dis
tention which could be traced like
wise in the nerve lines of the verte-
bral column, or spine. Along this
column a distinct line of sub-infiam-
matory nerve-tissue could be traced
right into the sensory parts of the
brain, which were shown to have
suffered from acute Inflammation A
corresponding contraction of other
parts of the brain was noted, and of
such kind as to produce between the
diseased area and the unaffected por-
tions positive line of demarcation
denoted by tissue which had the ap-
pearance of being in process of de.
composition.
Anatomical science has as yet pro-
vided no definite data to correspond
with the psychological symptoms OF
jealousy. Yet this case of the French
Institute would appear to be worthy
of consideration as test of the value
of which must be substantiated BY tbs
research of other laboratories.-The
World.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-08-21

Ths faculty of the Institute of Sci
ence at Limoges. France, has recent
ly decided that man-and, presum-
ably woman-is liable to die of an
acute attack of jealousy, just as it is
now agreed by medical experts that
a human being may die of broken
heart, in the physical sense of the
word.
Investigators in the laboratory of
the Limoges Institute declare that the
passion of jealousy is psycho-physical,
that is. that it first arises in the
brain and is transmitted to the car
diac region. whence other parts of
the system are affected so as to Gre
ate specific area OF disease. This
disease, as will be shown presently,
can be traced from the brain down
the spinal column to the parts of the
body which are affected, and its pres
ence can be duly attested from the
fact that the tissue in the line of the
malady's operations shows distinct
signs of attrition or wearing away.
Such evidence would find its cor
roboration in the experience of any
who have overland what human
being has not?-suffered from the
feeling of jealousy. The sufferer is
painfully conscious of gnawing or
consuming sensation within him. In
certain areas-the sensorial centre,
particularly-the brain seems to
burn. the exact sensation being not
unlike that of expansion arising from
heat which is about to force an ex-
plosion. So it is that the lover, in
his jealous fits, talks of his heart
bursting" with jealousy.
An explanation afforded of this
psycho-physical phenomenon is the
following: In matters of love it is
we'll known that the judgment and
understanding are obscured. For
this there is a physical and medi-
cally- explained cause which does
away wholly with the romantic as
pect of the lovers much-sung mala-
dy. Memory and the senses play an
important part in jealousy. as we all
hAON. IL - SuOh lAdt al CAOCSo "a
blood is drawn to the memory and
sensorial areas, with the result that
the other parts of the brain are badly
supplied. owing to the unusual ac-
tivity of the two in question. Any
attempt to exert the faculties of
judgment and understanding must
consequently be a forced effort, caus-
ing all that loss of tissue which is in
variably associated with the exertion
of force that is not spontaneous or
supported by goodwill. Poverty of
blood in the sufferer renders the con-
dition of the Jealous one all the more
painful and acute, since the other
faculties of the brain are deprived
OF proper blood-nutrition and oxygen
alton. Consequently. in cases of ex-
IRENE pain or suffering arising from
jealousy. the patients normal fac
ulties are so dead and the memory
of past enioyments with the object of
his love so disproportionately active
that the mental balance is entirely
upset-a condition which soon reacts

Managing " Hay Crop"

AS a rule too maay farmers delay
the cutting Of their hay crop until q
large proportion of the feeding value
is lost on account of the hay becom-
ing tough and fibrous. Our whole
aim should be to cut and cure our
hay at time when It will be the
most palatable and the easiest for
our animals TO digest and assimilate.
The analysis Of early cut hay and
that which is cut later does not jus
tify the cutting of the hay crop early
but actual experience in feeding ami
mails will prove that early cut hay
will produce better results when fed
TO all kinds of farm animals than
that which is cut later. We may feed
our animals on late cut hay during
the winter and they will become thin,
but when they are turned out on the
same grass in the spring they will

Telling the Fortunes of Monkeys.

Monkey palmistry is a profession
essayed by DR.. Walker Kidd, the
zoologist of London. He finds re-
markable specific variations displayed
by the fine raised lines in the tactie
surfaces of the hands and fleets Of
apes, monkeys and lemurs. The ex.
IRENE complexity of type presented
in this respect by the lemurs is es-
pecially notable. The ridges in the
palm attain their full and typical
development only in man. apes, mon
keys and lemurs, but the degree OF
specialization does not by any means
accord with the relative grade Of
these animals in the geological scale
The simple pattern is characterization
of the higher forms, and the complex
pattern is characteristic OF the lower
forms. The complex ridges of the
lemur DR.. Kidd associates with this
animals need for facility in maintain
ing the bodily equilibrium in crea-
lures of purely nocturnal habits.
Therefore the ridges are specially de-
veloped for helping to do this.-New

L. S. SECRET SERVICE.
Its Unwarrantable Employment in
Improper Ways.

Since time out of mind the Treas
ury Department has had in its en-
ploy, by due authority of law, a
corps of detectives to hunt down
eounterfeiters and do similar work
against dangerous criminals. Lately
the Department of Justice has
formed habit" of borrowing
these secret service men to so about
the country on all sorts of quests.
some right. some wrong.
Congress has awakened to this
new use of secret service men and to
the way they perform the duties as
signed to them. The result is grave
nisgivings. and steps are now in pro-
gress to forbid the transfer of the
secret service men from their legiti-
mate duties to unusual work under
the Acknowledgement. No wonder.
These men are not as rule angels
of light. The adage, Set a thief TO
catch a thief" is too often kept fully
in view in selecting these sleuths. In
deed, there has been an extension OF
this policy, and in some instances the
Department of Justice has sent out
homieides, if not actual muTde-ers,
TO harass innocent men as well as TO
run down criminals. The usual
sleuth and many of the special prose-
cutors are of such character that it
is safe to allow them to act duly
under immediate and careful super
vision by some officer of just dispo-
sition and weli-balanced mind.
We have referred TO this subject
before in connection with proceed
ings against innocent business men
of Los Angeles. who were indicted
for no other reason than that they
might be used to give testimony
needed by the sleuths TO convict per-
sons. The subject is referred 10 now

Dogs and Blacksmith Shops.

Two or three dogs are nearly al
ways to be found loafng about every
blacksmith shop. This fact is so we'll
recognized that detectives when sent
out after valuable dogs that have been
lost invariably visit first OF all the
blacksmith shops in the neighbor-
hood.
The reason why dogs frequent the
blacksmith shops is that they love in
ordinately the odor and taste of burn
ing hoofs. They sniff the odors as q
woman sniffs rose. and they eat the
hoof parings as gourmet eats
truffies.
Landseer, the great animal painter,
knew this odd fact we'll, and in his
famous picture of The Smiths Shop
a dog in the foreground is greedily
munching sliyers of toasted hoof.-
