BERLIN, Jan. liking Otto, Of Bavaria. cucased in a straight jacket occupies a padded cell in his palace at Fuerstenried. A few days ago he became rayiug mad and his shrieks and wild cries alarmed his attendants
 For more than 20 years King otto has been a hopeless mbeclle. For many years after he ascended the throne he was very powerful physic- ally. His attendants had to humor him constantly and pretend to carry out his orders. For a while he de- rived great amusement from a wooden gun. When he aimed it at persons and shouted Bang" they were ex- pected to drop and pretend to be dead. It was great fun for the king, but very annoying to his friends
 Otto is a great smoker and spent considerable of his time pushing cig- ars into the eyes of persons about him in the belief that this was the proper way to ignite the weed. Two years ago he shut himself in a room, refused to eat anything except fruit and forbade anyone seeing him.
 The heir to the throne is Prince Rupert a cousin of Otto, who may ascend the throne as regent.
