1T Is believed that 1t may have been
due TO defective insulation OF electric

These outgivings are designed to
reassure the public. But what con
solatory choice can be made between

and fires resulting from inetiiciency
and lack of discipline?
There Is no comfort for the service

cannot inspire confidence. and conf

The asylum doctor is more competent
correctly to label pronounced cases
and to treat them.
1t may be asserted that 1t is the
custom Of family physicians to call
in hospital doctors for other diseases.
Why not in insanity? Every hospital
physician has seen Incorrectly dag
nosed cases Of typhoid fever. pncu-
monia and other diseases; he has
usually been a practitioner, a clinic
doctor or an assistant, but the doctor
who devotes himself to insanity goes
ut once into an asylum where he
rarely sees doubtful cases.
Since 1t has become u custom among
family physicians to call In a neu-
rologist In all ca ses in which nervous
symptoms manifest themselves, these
specialists really see more inclpient
cases Of insanity than the asylum
trained doctors, and would therefore
become more expert in its early dag
nosis. while they would be excellci
in treatment, after the diagnosis is
established. by the asylum doctor.
We submit this view to our medical
readers. Physicians owe it to them.
selves and to the community to clear
up this distressing insanity expert
situation without being awed, as they
now are, by the p%sychlatric expert
whose observation Is chiefly among
established cases.
Since, as Judge CLEARWATER has
pointed out in THE Sun. the triaI
Judge is authorized by law to select
three reputable physicians ms experts
1t becomes the duty Of medical socie
ties to decide upon the men whom
they regard as reputable and compe
tent, and to give access 10 a list OF
these experts to the authorized cour
officers. II the Judge may he inclined

he would subject himself to criticism

Between the rising and the setting

OF Michael Hoke, at Mercersburg in
this county, Captain Michael Cromer,
with a cradle made especially for the
occasion, cut over twelve acres of heavy
wheat, which when tied up made 3T6
dozen sheaves. This is a worlds record,

we'll authenticated There are Yet liv-

this. the greatest feat OF it's kind ever

acres OF good oats in fifteen hours and

I know of two other men who cut
nfty-tve acres Of wheat in five and on
half days and helped gather n shock
the grain after II was cut.
These are fair samples OF what the
Fral.klin county farmers did with the
grain cradle fifty or sixty years ago.
Within easy recollection there was a
shop or factory owned and operated by
Henry :, Walck, near Greencastle IN
his county. where there were made and
