Charles Roman gives a record of his
own experience as a victim of delirium
tremens. II is remarkable psycholog-
heal document, comparing favorably in
interest and as piece of writing with
DE Quincy's Confessions of an Orium
Eater. " Following is brief extract
which gives some suggestion of the
things the patient saw:
up to this point the geological visi-
tations had been intermittent. During
the next few days, however, saw all
that l could stand. saw such prehis-
toric creatures as exist nowhere except
In museums. l saw rats as they march
ed past my door, or few through nv
windows, or fioated in my tub. Ele-
plants STROBE in and out with numbering
steps and swaying trunks. At times
they seated themselves and tainted me
with their thunderous bellows or their
ear-splitting screenings. They Haunted
their shouts high in the air and guf-
fawed. Monkeys jumped from limb to
limb In the trees outside my room.
Snakes of all colors, of all descrip-
tions, reptiles with fantastic figures
upon their backs, and with eyes of sap
phire or ruby or of milk-white marble.
wriggled upon the floor or crept in or
out of heretofore unseen crevices in the
walls and dropped into the water in my
tub. They swan around and around
me, squirming under me, with their
tongues darting in and out with fercci-
GUS activity. Lions l heard roaring.
and tigers l saw while they opened
their mouths like huge cats, in silent
angry disapproval. licking their whisk-
ers and wetting their paws, softly and
daintily. This and far more.
Il saw crocodiles in droves. Fat,
scaly glistening beasts they were, with
frothy, foaming jaws, long sweeping
tails, crouching upon or creeping along
the foot of my bsthtub or on my bed.

tonous anger as they contemplated me.

body of crocodile slide into the water

junk pile the formidable military mast

skeleton tower to be used as an elevated

OF war, which are built and maintained
for very practical purpose that is far
from pictorial. At the same time. the
somber hue of the ''war color" of naval
ships will deprive them of an element of
beauty in the measure of the advantage
gained by the adoption of an inconspic-
uous shade. Such ships, of course, are
that much harder for an enemy to To-
cate as target. In the case of the
skeleton mast the change is more rad

Pirate Gold.
New York World.

New ork World.
1t has cost Louisiana treasure-seekers
$50, 900 to discover that a mysterious
mound in a cypress swamp does not
contain the hidden hoard of the pirate
Lafitte. The fact that a canal four
miles long was dug to reach the gold
and jewels believed to be buried there
indicates the seriousness with which
the enterprise was undertaken.
In the light of the Louisiana treasure
quest and the recent expedition of Har-
ward graduates in search of the gold
bullion buried in the wreck of Spanish
galleon on a Jamaica coral reef, who
shall say that the world is outgrowinp
its youth? The spirit of adventure is
still strong, and for a portion of man.

reality outside the pages of romance.
Sometimes the lure takes the form of
a sequestered estate, an Anneke JAMS
property or Harlem town lots. Or
again, it is the glitter of phantom pearls
and gold on South Sea island. But it
is buccaneer loot that most appeals.
