Berlin is shown by frequent items
such as this from the Berlin Post:
"A market woman, with an i'm
mense stock of eggs, offered them for
sale at 6 cents each at the weekly
market In Hindenburg. Very soon
the stall was besieged by a great num-
Der of women
Before the close Of the market,
however, some Of the purchasers came
to the dealer and demanded the re-
turn Of their money, as the 2 2 were
rotten. The dealer declined to refund
and h was bombarded with the eggs
by her enraged customers.

knocked down, kicked, and practically
buried beneath evil-smelling waves of
eggs, 80 ~ s
The battle was eventually forcibly
terminated by three armed policemen,

Modern Cinderella.

The day of good fairies is not over
Several months ago, Miss Minerva
Menke was a passenger on a Madison
avenue street car in New York city.
As she stepped from the car one OF
her pumps became wedged in a cor
ner of the step, and her foot slipped
out of it. She did her best to make
her plight known, but at that moment
the fairy must have shut the conduc-
tors eyes and covered his ears, for
he gave two vigorous tugs on the bell
rope, and the car carried Miss Menlze's
pump away, leaving her pumpless in
the street. She hobbled to a drug
store at the corner and telephoned for
taxicab to take her home.
A few blocks farther on, Jack Wifi
son noticed the pump as he was leav-
ing the car. He slipped it into his
pocket-it is a No. 2-and when he
reached home telephoned an advertise
ment to the New York Herald, which
tells the story with pardonable COM
placency, requesting the young wom-
an who lost the pump to write to
him.
Miss Minerva wrote, and Jack called
TO return the pump. He kept on call
ing more and more frequently, and
now they are married and will doubt
less '1ive happily ever after. youths

FREEDOM CAUSE OF INSANITY
Mental Disease Prevalent in Russia
After the Revolution Is Termed
"Mass Psychosis."

The Russian revolution has produced
mental disease which Is character
lied by Prof. p. J. Rosenbach, presi-
dent of the Association Of Phychlatr-
lists, as ''mass psychosis." In other
words. the birth Of political freedom
has been driving many persons insane.
II is q mistake to assume that war
makes sane men mad. according to
Professor Rosenbach. who says that
during the war he has treated between
e.000 and 1000 insane soldiers, but
that in no case did he discover that
the victims mental affection had been
caused by war horrors or privatlons.
During the first month Of the rev0lu-
ton the rate of morbidity from mental
disease rose to an astonishing extent.
Professor Rosenbach inquired into the
victims antecedents and found, he
says, that these men and women had
been entirely normal and that they did
not come from tainted families. He
ascribes their sudden insanity TO the
sudden and drastic changes in Russian
political, social and intellectual life.
One of the symptoms Of "mass psy-
Ghosts" he says, Is "infatuation with
committees, delegations and demon
STATIONS" Similar phenomena were
observed during the French revolution
after the war OF 1S70-71, Professor
Rosenbach observes.

BARBED WIRE A WAR FACTOR
One of Peculiar Developments is Use
of American Product to Halt
Armies Progress.

The part that barbed wire has
played in the war is reflected to some
extent by the foreign commerce re-
ports, says the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. This is peculiarly an American
product, the Blidden invention having
been first utilized on large scale by
John w. Gates at st. Louis. The de-
scriptions from the front show the eff
fective use made OF this simple inven-
ton, which the late Senator Ingalls,
said was suggested by the manner in
which the milk cows avoided bramble
bushes. 1t was woven and twisted
into q barrier that seemed impregna-
BILE until the British developed the use
of artillery in such amazing fashion.
The study of Notifications has been
followed from the beginning of human
history, and it is singular fact that a
simple fencing device, designed for an
untimbered country, should surpass
every other obstacle TO the progress of
a modern army.

WHAlERs RGsla ARE ACTIVE.
Ancient Industry Es Undergone Note
worthy Reviv7i IL America il
Last Fes Years.

News dispatches telling OF the re-
cent capture of three sperm whales
by Grays Hari1or hunters serve SIS a
reminder that the ancient Industry Of
whaling lsas UNDERGONE noteworthy
revival in the last few years. Il is
ar interesting fact that this revival
has been due largely 10 The develop
ment of the battieship one Of the
most modern creations Of man.
Hundreds Of whalers from Ameri-
can ports sailed the seas in the times
before the Civil war, when whale oil
was used for lighting. The discovery
OF petroleum caused a slump in the
industry. Historic New Bedford and
Nantucket became the boneyards of a
once mighty fleet. and the race Of
hardy American mariners developed
by whaling became almost extinct.
The old romances passed into tradi-
ton.
But as ships, and particularly bat
tleships, grew in size and number it
was found that for use in certain Of
the bearings In their ponderous en-
gines there was nothing that would
quite take the place of ease oil,
found in the head Of the sperm whale,
which is strangely clear and does not
disintegrate under great pressure and
heat. So whalers began to take the
sea again. They are not SO primitive
as those of the older generation. but
their cargoes are more than ever in
demand.

Grootch said he had been working on
a ranch near Cody and went to Cody
for visit. He set out for walk to-
ward the river when his memory left
him. When he regained consciousness
he found himself on the island, 200
rods below a wagon bridge. He could
not swim and the current was too swift
for him to wade. Finally. Crotch

Cave Men IN America.

The cave man has long been sup
posed to have lived only in the old
world, and if the term is used to mean
the very primitive species of homo
sapiens, this is true. Explorations
made in Kentucky this year by scien-
lists of the American museum, how
ever. show that primitive men did live
In caves in America. In the Mammoth
cave and others they found unmistak-
able evidence that the mouths Of the
Kentucky caverns were used as dwell
ing places and that the Indians ex-
plored the caves and mined quartz in
them. This is especially interesting
because it is known that Indians did
not live in this region after its dlscov-
cry by white men. The American
cave dwellers, therefore. must have
belonged to an earlier period.

Russia,s Platinum Production.

The production of platinum in the
Ural district in Russia in 1916 is esti-
mated by correspondent of the Lon
don Mining Journal at only 1894
troy ounces, against 107.7T4 ounces in
1915; 156,774 ounces in 1914, 1852
ounces in 1913 and 1881 ounces in
1912. The decrease last year extend
ed to nearly all the districts, but was
most marked on the Demidov estates
and the Shuvalov placers. The short
age Of labor has been one Of the causes
of the decrease. The fact that all
crude platinum is now requisitioned by
the government has led, it is believed,
to the concealment of some quantities,
so that the figures given are below the
real output. A considerable quantity
of crude platinum is understood to be
held by Russian banks, which adj
yanced money to the producers before
the metal was taken by the govern
ment.
