EXPERIMENTING ON
 NEW TREATMENT
Danish Government Investi- gating Insanity-StOry
 of a Future King

Copenhagen, December 16.-(Special.) Alenists the world over will watch with deep interest an experiment now being tried by the Danish government in the treatment of its insane.
 It is being conducted along lines laid down by Professor Kelers, the well known expert on psychology, and under the direct supervision of Professor Kel- lers himself.
 At his instance the government of the Island of Llyoe, which is situated in Limfrorden, and is about 1000 acres in extent, of which about 100 acres are well wooded. the oak tree predom- mating. This was set aside as sana- tarium.
 Professor Kellers has for some time been a persistent advocate of the out of door treatment of lunacy. His chief contention is that the fresh air tones up the nervous system. while the varied natural objects are calculated to. ar rest the attention of the patients and dissipate the more distressing symptoms of monomania ofttimes prevalent. The authorities. however. preferred to eff feet compromise. relegating to the new sanatorium many of the criminal lunatics hitherto held in practically solitary durance.
 peculiarity of the system is that under the commemorative classification adopted by the authorities men of the more degenerate class. both as regards crime and vice. are regarded as men tally unfit and removed to Llyoe for | treatment. The method of cure" of confirmed laziness is somewhat Spartan. Either the men must settle down to regular habits of work. chiefly of a | rural character-or the rest cure" is pushed home to its logical result they are forced to lie in bed for term varying from a day to three or four days. By that time the ennui becomes simply unbearable. and the men are glad to escape from the torture of sheer inactivity.
 | The more criminal types, especially 1 dangerous Iunatics. are segregated tu some extent from the mere 'ne'er do we'll" or loafer element, but equal surveillance is kept on all alike. to see that no one effects his escape from his island prison.
 A Norwegian paper tells the follow | ing story of Prince Olaf, the future | King of Norway. One day while out driving with his governess the little Prince Olaf was cheered as usual by his people, who also lifted theirs hats | to him. At last he became weary with | having continually to acknowledge the | salutes, and he said to his governess "i am tired now. l am not going to lift my hat any more to them, no mat | ter how much they cheer" You are a
 naughty boy" replied the goverl%ss, and unless you acknowledge the sa- lutes l will not drive with you any morc." The little prince sat up imme- diately. "Coachman," he said, stop the carriage; this lady wants to get
 out" 1t is a pity to spoil the story,
 but probably Prince Olaf got what he deserved on reaching home-the strap Madam Christine Nelson, the famous songstress, has ordered her tombstone | of David Edstrom well known | sculptor The tomb is to be sculptured of Swaland granite, which will be quarried near the village in whose street Nelson sang when she was a lit- tie girl. A life size marble statue of Madame Nelson as Ophelia will stand upon the tomb.
