ALlENISTS ARE HONEST.
Jerome Stands by Government Experts
In Insanity Cases.

New York, Feb. al have had a very
wide experience with expert testimony in
lunacy and without one exception I do
not recall single instance in which such
testimony was not honest In, no case
with which l have been connected has
there been to my knowledge a miscarriage
of justice, and in every instance the
states expert evidence on insanity has
been borne out by subsequent facts"

trict attorney of New York, thus de-

and physicians Wednesday night at
the Hotel Aston They had assembled
in honor of DR.. Carlos M. F. MacDon-
alG, who has retired from official life
as a state expert in lunacy. and as
president of the State Lunacy Commits

1T does not follow because there are
alienists who lie on the stand" con-

senator was engaged in a general dis

an amendment presented by Senator
Smoot for the regulation of the remov-

He commended that inasmuch as the
fund under the bill would reach fully

of trustees to dictate the rate of in

In other words the government pur-
poses to go into the loaning business,
he said. and intends to fix the rate of
interest at PA per cent"
In view of this fact he asked what
the effect would be on incomes derived
from funds invested at five and six
per cent.
Should We" he then asked, so for

The bill was under consideration for
about two hours. An amendment by
Davis, providing for the deposit of
postal funds in banks under state in
spection as well as in those under fed

also believed to have powers over the

The Pearl Hunters Superstition.

The pearl hunters Of Borneo and the
adjacent islands have u peculiar SUI
perstition. When they open shells In
search Of pearls they take every ninth
find, whether it be large or small, and
put it into a bottle, which is kept
corkcd with dead mans finger. The
pearls in the vial are known as "seed
pearls" or breeding pearls" and the
native Dorneose firmly believes that
they will reproduce their kind. For
every pearl put into the vial two
grains Of rice are thrown in for the
pearls to feed upon Some whites
in Bornco believe as firmly in the SUI
pcrstition as the natives do. and al
most every hut along the coast has its
dead finger bottle, with from nine
to fifty seed pearls and twice that
number Of rice grains carefully and
evenly slowed away among them.
That no results follow does not dim
the superstition.

The Explanation Of the Automobile
Driver and q Climax.
After the victim of the accident was
carried to the sidewalk the automobile
driver turned his machine and came
back and explained how it happened
with considerable warmth.
This woman" he volubly remarked
to the policeman, was entirely to
blame. She ran around from ahead OF
the street car and deliberately put her
self in my way. After she had lodged
the coal cart it was too late for me to
stop. l couldn't tell which way she
was going. and when l saw that she
was dazed and foolish damned on
the brakes and tried to pass to the
left, but Of course she had to run the
same way, and the consequence was
that in cndcavorlng to avoid baby
carriage with twins in it and an old
man who was walking with crutch
suppose l must have hit her. But
wasn't going more than two miles an
hour, and any woman who would
dodge around In that foolish way and
lose her head shouldn't be permitted
to 80 on the streets without bunch
Of guardians"
The policeman nodded.
Come over to the sidewalk" he said,
land take look ut her."
So the driver went to the curb with
the officer and looked at the unfortu-
nate creature who had so actively con-
tributed to her own disaster.
And. 10. it was only a dressmaker's
dummy that had fallen of the rear Of

Batholite is Il term invented by the
great German geologst Eduard Suess
to describe the gigantic intrusions OF
molten rock which. according to him.

crust Of the earth from the 'eternal
depths" below, cutting through the
strata and folds of the mountains very
much as a white hot soldering iron
may be thrust through plank. burn
ing its way across the grain Of the
wood as ii it We're cheese.
These batholites lurk deep In the
earth. where the temperature is thou
sands Of degrees. and gradually melt
their way to the surface above them.
Generally they issue in the form Of
tremendous domes Of hot rock, tower
ing up to mountain heights and often
giving birth to volcanoes. When a
batholite. as sometimes happens. does
not reach the surface its roof opens
in network OF assures, lava pours
out and whole group Of volcanoes
appears ut that point.
SueSs has recognized the remains Of
many cooled bntholites on various
parts Of the ear;hs surface. and he
says that the consolidated crust OF the
earth. even ut tie present day. may
be exposed to these mighty intrusions
from below. The batholites bring up
with them MANY metals from the in
terror Of the planet, and rich mines
are often opened in the bikes that are
thus formed.
Suess describes The rock about Boul.

which covers 5000 square kilometers
of surface. But there are others still
more prodigious il extent.
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level. but
near Elkhorn the old bathoiite vet
towers up to an elevation of 5000 feet
