DEPLORES AMERICAN LEvITY.
Historian FerrerO Tells of Lack of
Culture Among Newspaper Men.

Rome, March 13.-The italian historian.
SignOr Guglielmo Ferrero. makes known
70 his fellow-countrymen his Impressions
about America and the Americans. the
result Of observations during his recent
trip 20 the New World.
All ideas about America are greatly
exaggerated. he declares. even those about
the traffic in the great cities like New
York and Chicago. which is less than that
in London and Paris. The same may be
said OF American labor. The Americans
no doubt work a great deal and expend
great amount of energy. but on the
other hand they are past masters in the
art Of resting.
The historian denies American luxury.
bad manners, and materialism. but ad-
mits that America 10 a great democratic
country. Referring to Tammany Hall.
he says that many Of its members are
very honest people
In conclusion Signor FerrerO soiemnly
deplores the lack OF culture as shown in
journalism, which he proves by the fol-
lowing two instances: When he explained
the marriage between Antony and Cleo
patra on politico-fnancial grounds IN his
lectures a Chicago paper published two
pictures One represented Antony as a
handsome young man kneeling at Cleo
patra's feet and was entitled The
Legend" The other represented them
both as fat and old, while Antony was
asking, How much money have you.
CleO?" and was entitled Truth"
When SignOr Ferrero in another lee
ture spoke of the abuse of wine in ancient
Rome and held HOrace's Bacchic poems
partly responsible for Il, another paper
published the following item: The wine
trust at Rome corrupted Horace and paid
him 10 make the Romans buy its goods. q"

BOND ISSUE LIKELY.

The fact that a bond issue will
soon be necessary 10 tide over
the government treasury. as an
nounced several days ago, was
confirmed yesterday by Chairman
TawBey, of the House Committee
ON Appropriations.
He said that while the Treas
ury statement shows an available
cash balance OF about SI37, O0O,-
900. the amount of money actu-
ally available Is far short of that
amount. The proceeds of the
bond issue VIII be necessary 20

revenue provided for in the
forthcoming tariff bill reaches
the Treasury.
An official of the Treasury De-
partment said that the working
cash balance Il about S65, 900.
The balance was So. 900 when
President Cleveland found II nee

FRESH AIR FOR HER FOOD.
Young Women Adopts Novel Means
for Perennial Youth.

Berlin, March l2-At the Royal Char
itie Hospital. this city, a young woman
is trying 10 prove that complete absti-
nence from food for indefinite periods IS
conducive not only 10 good health but
also to perennial youth. Miss Claire de
Serval, who offered herself for a series
of experiments. is a niece Of the famous
fasting DR.. Tanner. She has Just ended
a fast OF ten days without nourishment of
any kind. liquid or solid.
During the time OF her abstinence she
lived in a glass cage into which fresh
air was pumped. Her weight decreased
from ia to 101 pounds, but her condition
otherwise IS perfectly normal. Now she
has been placed In the regular ward of
the hospital and VIII abstain from food
for twenty days more, allowing herself
the luxury Of mineral water, however.
Miss Serval says that she has never
once been 81 from lack of food or drink.
and is entirely free from fever or head
ache; in fact. she declares she was in
duced 70 become a faster in order TO cure
herself Of chronic headache and lack OF
appetite. and also because she finds she
emerges reiuvenated after a period OF
self-imposed starvation.
Prof Kraus, the German physician
under whose auspices the experiment is
taking place. hopes that the results will
be Of scientific value.

Conditions I'm London Criminal
Courts COntrRsted with the Past.
London. March BIN his charge to the
grand jury az the Old Bailey the recorder
commented on the constant Increase IN
the business Of the court. which had
been sitting practically since January p.
He contrasted conditions to-day with
those existing when he was first with
the central criminal court forty-fve years
ago.
Then the sessions seldom lasted over
Thursday, and sometimes concluded on
Wednesday. He ascribed the Increase
in cases Of crime TO the vast Increase Of
the population of London, the extension
Of the area, and the greater complexIty
Of modern business.
An examination OF the last report Of
the commissioner Of police Of the metrop-
oils also suggests that there has been a
distinct increase in recent years IL serl-
Gus crime in London. Thus the number
OF principal offenses rose from Is qO7 In
1906 10 2l.340 in 1907.
The report comments "On the marked
Increase in burglaries and hOusebreak-
tngs." The proportion Of felonies relating
70 property TO the population in the po-
lice area has risen steadily Of recent
years In 1907 IL was 2,6S9 TO each J. 600 of
the population, a higher figure than in
any year since 1855.
The criminal statistics for the whole OF
England and Wales corroborate the IN
crease in serious crime and show that il
is general throughout the country. The
number Of persons sentenced at the as
sizes and quarter sessions rose from
1910 in 1900 70 1880 In 1906. the last year
given in these statistics. an Increase
which greatly exceeded the growth in
population.
