1t is probably only matter of a
short time until the fire horses in
Keokuk will be replaced by automo-
bile trucks. 1t has been found by ex-
perience in other cities that not only
do the trucks afford greater efficiency
through ability to reach fire quicker,
but they cost less for maintenance.
The fire trucks are used only occas-
ionally and when not in use they run
up no bill for gasoline, but it costs al
most as much to feed a horse that
stands in its stall as one that works
regularly. The trucks are therefore
a positive economy.

LIST
A Biographical Sketch by Mrs. Frank Atherton
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES S5S9S951si159S5S1

Upon returning to France the people
noticed change in him. He became
grave and serious, and seemed disin-
clined to appear in public. He begged
his father to allow him to become
priest. 1T was my hope he writes,
ito live the life of the saints and per-
haps die the death of the martyrs. So
but his father strenuously opposed
this, and discord arose between them.
Not long after, the father died, and the
boy, PROSTATE with grief, sent for his
mother to join him in Paris He sold
his piano in order to pay his debts,
and took a modest dwelling where,
with the income derived from his
teaching he was able comfortably to
support himself and his mother. List
was generous to those who could not
afford to pay for lessons, most pitiful
to the poor,-frequentl giving the
proceeds of his concerts to charity.
At the age of twenty an unfortunate
love affair caused him to lose all in
terest in his music, and again he turn
ed to the mysticism of the church.
Love, grief and religion all struggling
together for victory in that young and
fervid spirit, at last seemed fairly to
exhaust him His Old haunts knew
him not; his pupils were neglected; he
saw no friends. He shut himself up
in his room, and at last would see
only his mother at meals He never
appeared in the streets, and at last,
not unnaturally, ended by his falling
dangerously ill, Indeed, the news
papers went so far as to publish his
obituary notice, but, as Mark Twain
wrote of himself, The reports of his
death were greatly exaggerated.
Then the Revolution of 1880 burst
on France and awoke List from his
lethargy. 1T was the cannon that

as a Cure
for Mental Diseases

There is something decidedly novel
about the suggestion that shopliftinS
and other forms of kleptomania are
sure antidote and a positive cure for
various physical and mental ailments,
but Prof. Pierre Janet, the distinguish
ed French insanity expert, who has
recently been making a close study of
kleptomania and kleptomaniacs, de-
clares that even petty shOplifting has
been discovered to possess real medi-
cinal properties.
Some years ago Prof. Janet publish
ed an interesting work on the subject
of mental diseases in which he adj
vanced the theory that many persons
of slightly unbalanced mind are prone
to impulsive action of a more or less
dangerous character because they find
in such action a momentary stimulus
which raises the emotional level and
relieves for a time their painful sense

Since then he has had an oppor.
tunity to study case of kleptomania
which so exactly fulfils the conditions
OF his hypothesis that it amounts to a
demonstration of its validity. The
case is reported in the Journal de
Psychologist Normale ct Pathologique
The patient, a woman of good so,
cial position, had an attack of mental
depression when she was in her fiftieth
year. The symptoms were of the usual
character, loss of interest in every
thing insomnia, feelings of "a vel
around the head" "a layer of cotton
on the BRAIN" and so forth. After
lasting for some ten months this con
dition passed off gradually, and the
patient continued well until five years
later when she had another attack
characterized by exactly the same
symptoms.
In February 1910, six months aftel
her recovery, the same train of symp
toms reappeared. But on this occasion
when the attack had followed its res

Notwithstanding the fact that mos
quitoes of the genus Anopheles have
been proved to be the carriers of ma
laria, evidence turns up every now
and then to indicate Cmuch to the
puzzlement of science) that the dis
ease may sometimes be conveyed by
other means.
For instance, malaria has been a
scourge for many years in the State
of Guanajuato, Mexico, often assum-
ing a malignant and deadly form;
yet no mosquitoes of the Anopheles
tribe are found there DR.. Jesus Chico
writes: mo prOspeCtor has looked
for gold and silver in the mountains of
Guanajuato with more ardor than has
been exhibited by scientists in the
search for the Misunderstanding insect.
Pursuit of the precious metals has
been rewarded with conspicuous sue
cess, but that of Anopheles has been
fruitless always"
Anopheles mosquitoes are easy to
distinguish from those of any other
genus, even by persons comparatively
inexpert 1t is impossible to suppose
that they could be looked for in vain
J in any place which they inhabited.
Now, up to 1888 there were no mos
quitoes of any kind in Guanaiuato
But there was plenty of malaria. In
1885 mosquitoes of the genus CuleS
were transported from the coast by
rail to the City of Mexico, which like
wise up to that time had never known
the pestiferous insect. 1t took then
three more years to reach Guanajuato
! Nevertheless they brought no in
crease of malaria. There is no reason
why they should, for they are not ma
laria-carriers.
Malaria, previously prevalent there
had become a Scourge in 1882 anC
thereafter. 1t was in that year tina

Is California solely the land of sun

after reading the exquisite and absorb

calculated to make cloud students of
all good San Franciscans who love
their fogs, as all good San Franciscans
do.
The author, who, as every one
knows, is the chief forecaster of the
weather bureau in this city, demon
strates that a scientific enthusiasm is
not inimical to that admiration of nat

mind "WhO saw God in clouds and
heard him in the wind for he has
happily mingled the technicalities of
the meteorologist with the love Of the

The lack of popular observation of
cloud forms is nowhere more evident
than in modern art, apparently, for
particular stress is aid upon the an
achronisms of clour effects, which
represent clouds due to ascending cur
rents forming while the day grows
warmer, or clouds common to the cool
hours appearing in a MONDAY scene
Cloud forms, their nomenclature and
measurements are discussed instruc'

of the air, such as the trade winds
the counter trades, the prevailing
westerlies and the roaring forties'
are considered, particularly with ref
erence to their utilization by aeronauts
