The Man Who Died Twice.

THERE are many puzZling features
of French history. but perhaps the
most puzzling Of all, though it has to
do with comparatively minor person
age. is that surrounding the mystery
of the hairdresser of Marie Antoinette.
1t is not common occurrence for a
person to die twice. circumstance
which has occurred in the case of this
hairdresser. who was known as Jean
Antie, alias Leonard.
This Antie, or Leonard. was a Cas-
con. born in 1858. who acquired a repu-
tation in Paris by reason of his great
ingenuity in building the elaborate
coiffures of the time of Louis NNL In
1891 he was lodged at the Tuileries as
hair dresser of the queen.
When Marie Autoinette and the royal
family made their fruitless attempt to
flee from France, Leonard was sent
ahead as a scout. He was seized.
brought back to the French capital
and condemned to be executed as a
traitor to the state.
So far as any one then knew, he was
duly decapitated, his death being prop
erly recorded in the register provided
for the purpose. Investigation has.
however, elected the interesting fact
that the eXhair dresser was very much
alive in Russia in the year 1914: and
to complicate matters. the Paris regis
ter showed his second death certificate
under the year 1920. The question
naturally arises, just how did Leonard
manage to evade the penalty that every
one had no doubt he had suffered? A
great many guesses have been ven-
tured, and the following explanation.
offered by one puzzled historian. seems,
of all of them, the most reasonable
one day, while a group of condemned
were awaiting their turn for execution.
the guillotine broke down and had To
be repaired. a number of victims had
been executed. ten dozen were
obliged to stand waiting until the re-
pairs had been accomplished.
1t appears that one individual. the
twentieth on the list, whose hands
were, as was the custom, bound behind
him, grew faint at the delay. He
leaned against the line of officers that
separated the prisoners from the mob
OF spectators. Suddenly gap opened
behind the man, almost unconsciously
he slipped through. and the line closed
once more. bystander reached over
and placed hat the mans bare
head and the people crowded about as
if to hide him A short time there
after a man, with his hands behind
him. was seen in the Champs Eiysees,
walking with the air of one out for a
quiet stroll This man was said to
have spent the next night in a ditch
and to have made his way to Russia
II this person, saved by
a fortunate accident or by collusion,
was Leonard. the story explains the
of the two death certificates.

now indispensable to intensive farm
ing.
This material was marketed through
the Kali-Syndikat, made up of all mine
owners and regulated by the German
government. which fixes the prices and
allots the production. Before the war
it provided that no more potash should
be exported than the amount consumed
in Germany. convenient little ar
rangement which secured to the COM
paratively small area of the parent
country at least half of the intensive
farming of the world, while doling out
at good prices some part of its abun-
dant national product Soon after Au-
gust, 1914, the German government
placed an embargo upon the export of
potash. All of which goes to show that
it is profitable to a nation, as well to
a corporation, to have a monopoly of
anything that somebody else with
money needs or believes that he needs.
The figures obtainable to the
production of other countries are ex-
tremely Interesting to the specialists,
but quite confusing to others. They
show, however, that Germany had a
monopoly of the potash trade, and that
for the year ending June. 1914, it was
imported into this country to the value
of S12,000.0o0 at wholesale prices, cost
ings the farmers S2o.0oO,000.
When the German supply was cut
off and the other resources had been
found unavailine, the investigators
sumed their experiments in the treat
ment of kelp.
These marine plants grow in un-
limited quantities and carry large per
centages of potash, but the economic
question to be solved by the scientists
of this department is whether the crop
can be gathered. its SIS per cent of

other parts of value extracted al a cost

fact which does not add to the
plea santness of things on board, es-
pecially when the water is rough. The
ke1p leaves, are SO large and slippery
that they have to be cut to pieces be-
fore they can be treated, and the usual
method is to pass them from the car

them into pieces of convenient size.
