PRISONERS MAD
 BY SOLITARY
 CONFINEMENT
Charlton Would Be Insane. If Not Now, In Case of
 Punishment In Italy
Those Serving Sentences for Attempt on Kings Life
 Are Hopeless Imbeciles
Special from United Press,

J
 Rome. June Eff Porter Charl- ton is not insane, he probably will be within one year from the time of his sentence, if he is punished in Italy.
 That is the firm belief of every one who knows anything regarding Ital- ian prisons and punishment. Every prisoner convicted in Italy must be- gin his sentence with term of soli- tary confinement heightened accord ing to the total sentence imposed. There is no capital punishment. The solitary confinement proportion of Charlton's sentence would be served in Q stone cell under the level of the street, where no light is ever permit ted. The cell is six feet long, six feet high and three feet wide. Usually it is infested with rats and like verTnin. Along the side of the cell is an IS inch board six feet long. This must serve as 9. bed and chair. At the top of the door Of the cell is a narrow hole through which however no light can come. Through this hole food is passed twice day During the soli- tary confinement period this food con sists of nothing but soup, bread and water. A pitcher of water is allowed in the room. There is no other fur niture. As there is not enough light to read the prisoner must simply sit with his thoughts day after day He has no reckoning of time. He does not know night from day. He may think-that is all.
 One hour each day he is allowed to walk in the narrow courtyard of the prison not with the other prison CTS. but in a separate part conserved for his use. He will never hear the sound of human voice. He will re- ceiYe no letters, nor write any.
 Bresci, the Paterson. \. J., Anar- Chist, who killed King Humbert, could stand only three months of this soli- tary Imprisonment. Then ne stranG- led himself with his bed quilt. Two other men who attempted the Kings life are still alive but both are hope less imbeciles, driven mad by the early solitary confinement.
 A great agitation is sweeping Italy now for a modification of this form of confinement, but it has had little weight with the government which abolished capital punishment at the demand of the people and substituted this form of punishment.

and it is valued at $4,000. 1t is said
that this piece Of carving was the
cause of a wager being once laid in a
dispute as to its entirety. To prove
that the work was one single piece OF
carving 1t was plunged into pot OF
boiling oil and allowed to remain fol-
hours. All doubts were set at rest
when 1t was withdrawn and found ia
be still complete. The person who
completed this marvellous piece OF
work used an ordinary penknife only.

ture so peculiar that 1t is probable no

February. 1900. he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then. wishing to take a
picture Of the shore. he sent bis boat
back to the vessel to get a camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned strange and awful thing
happened Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and rush. with tremendous
explosions. shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpen,
dicular rocks above US were falling
Then we realized what was taking
place. The mighty glacier immedi-
ately to the west of US was giving
birth to an iceberg.
Millions of tons of fee plrsged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. l sang out

We rushed to the highest point Of
our limited beach. four feet above the
sea. We saw advancing on us dark
green ridge with white crest.

life. We clutched the uneven rocks,
with our backs toward the advancing
water. Although 1t could not have
taken more than seven minutes, the
time seemed long before the water
closed over our heads.

the rocks, | tore the nails from my
flesh In my endeavor to keep from be-

wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and
first stood the rock was wet twenty
feet above our heads. 1t was some
what lower when 1t struck us. Where
the wave had struck with full force
the face of the rock had been altered.
and rocks were still falling when the
three men in the boat found us, bleed

Two facts had saved us. To our
right small peninsula of Ice protrud-
ed some five feet from the rock. and
the rock itself bent toward the west

It is all Interesting fact that the tw0 studies of arithmetic and geography often seem to be opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient tn the one are apt to be backward iD the other.
