The Fools Tower.

Vienna's Fools tower was remark
able for it's extraordinary collection of
strange instruments and letters used
in the treatment of the insane of past
ages. There was a curious machine in
which unruly maniacs were swung un-
til they were in state of stupefaction
and therefore quiet. And the same idea
caused the invention of a wheel that
reyolved like that in a modern squirrel
cage. There was a narrow upright box
called an English coffin" from which
the patient could look out, but could
not move. When it was built in 1884
the Fools tower marked great
change for the better in the housing Of
the insane. From 200 to $50 patients
occupied it's 139 cells.

DIES UNDER FLOOD OF GRAIN
While Fellow Workers Try to

New YOrk-Buried under a heap OF
grain nearly half an hour while his
fellow workers tried to dig him out,
Louis LupiniK died Of suffocation in
the plant of the Farmers Feed COM
pany.
Lupinik was on the top floor shov-
cling wet grain into a chute leading
to a drying machine on the lower
floor He slipped, fell into the chute,
and slid rapidly 10 feet to the entrance
of the machine. Employees who saw
him disappear stopped the machine,
but were unable to check the flow OF
grain into the chute. The grain, at
a temperature of 90 degrees, covered
him completely
A section of the iron chute was
taken out and men with shovels
reached Lupinik, but he was dead
when lifted out He leaves a wife

The Man Behind the Gun.

The late Admiral Erben had the good
fortune or the merit to originate a
world circling phrase, "the man behind
the gun" He used it in a speech on
the factors of success in naval warfare
to emphasize the necessity of having
efficiency, preparedness, run through
the entire personnel. 1t was also re-
minder that the enlisted men have a
good deal more to do with bringing
about victory than always appears in
history or official reports. The express
sion was employed in supplementing
the views Of Captain Mahan and at
tanned circulation at once as epitomiz-
ing a whole library of instruction.-Ex-

German artillery. About a. m. the
Germans sent a messenger, who with
bandaged eyes and bearing a white
flag, made his way to headquarters,
escorted by a French horseman. We
did not know what had happened, but
toward night the bombardment ceased
and German troops of cavalry, infan-
try and artillery appeared IN the cen
ter of the town. The born 5ardment
continued on the village Of South
Lille until 1 a. m. the neXs day.
"Oct. 13.-Aftar midnigh. I noticed
that white flag had been raised
on the mayors office. What has hap
pened? Have we surrendered and
have the Germans taken possession
Of the city? It is impossible to learn
Rumor insisted that the town had sur
rendered and a few inhabitants i'm
mediately risked issuing from their
houses to contemplate the sad spec
tacIe of Lille in flames. About 2:90
a. %. the sound OF volleys coming from
the center of the city caused every
one quickly to return home. The fir
ing lasted about three hours. Finally
about ten o'clock military music re-
sounded, accompanied by singing,
drumming and bugle blowing. The
German soldiers defiled through the
midst of the city, some smoking
cigars
From the recital of the same wit
ness it is possible to affirm that a
great part of the artistic and hand
some quarters of the town, including
the old Church of st. Maurice, could
not be saved from the flames. 1t
seems that since Lille was defended
the bombardment was unfortunately
necessity of war and in no way an act
of useless vandalism.

SAW LILLE CRUMBLE
Diary of Journalist Who Was in
the Besieged City.
Terrific Bombardment Provoked by
Defense-PeopIe Stood in Streets
and Watched Homes Burn.

West Flanders. Belgium.-A Jour
nalist from Roubaix. who was shut up
IN Lille from October 10 to Is, gives
in his diary the following account of
the bombardment and German occupa-
tion of that city:
"Oct. 10.-About four o'clock this
afternoon four uhlans, followed by one
cycIist, emerged on the market place.
The cyclist made a sign with his hand
and Immediately about sixty horse
men appeared. These had hardly ar
rived when several shots were fired.
One horse was killed and the rider in
iured. At once the lieutenant COM
manding the Germans assembled his
men and rode to the mayors Office.
He summoned Mayor de La Sale and
warned him that, owing to the firing,
he and others would be taken into Gus
tody. While this was continuing
French mounted chasseurs arrived
and exchanged volleys with the uh-
llans, provoking a panic among the
lbystanders. The Germans fled, pur-
sued by the chasseurs. At $3.50 a
shell fell on the roof of the mayors
house, tearing a great hole. Other
shells were thrown in the market
place. At p. m. the bombardment
became violent. The first aeroplane,
(which was seen at five o'clock, had let
fall a bomb with the intention of dam
aging the police headquarters. A
woman and child were injured and a
passing riders horse was killed under
him.
"Oct. 1.-THE night was compare
lively calm, only a few shells falling.
Then. after some hours respite, the
lbombardment broke out again with
great violence, ceasing only at noon.
Beginning again at p. M. it contin-
lued the entire night. Many families
sought shelter with their neighbors,
as their own houses, were burning
Among the buildings damaged was
the Museum of Fine Arts.
"Oct. 12.-Beginning at a. m,
shells rained on the city, making a
terrible racket and destroying many
buildings. The aspect of the town is
llamentable. Debris of different kinds,
such as glass, brick, stone and wood,
ieIutter the pavement. Families are
taking refuge everywhere, prey to a
fully comprehensive terror and sad
mess. In the evening several new
blocks OF houses were in flames, not
