CASTINH.
BASKETBALL.

A double basketball game was played
in Emerson hall Friday before the largest
audience of the season, under the Joint
auspices of the Castine A. A. and the
normal school. The boys game between
Bucksport A. A. and Castine A. A. was
full Of life and action, in spite OF the one
sided score, 81 to "a in favor OF Castine.
The Bucksport A. A. team was outweighed,
outplayed, and unfamiliar with the hall.
The girls basketball game between Z.
NJ. c. S. of Bueksport and Z. 3. N. s. OF
Castine was closely contested throughout.
AT the end OF the first half the score was
+. NJ. e, $, Z, normal school 8, and the
score was repeatedly tied during the eve
ming. The finsl score was 1919 in favor Of
the normal girls. Many people con-
sidered this game to be the fastest girls
game that they ever saw
Time and time again WATSON, the
Bucksport star, threatened to elinch the
game for her school, but as often the dan
ger was averted through the execIIen,
defensive play OF the Z. S. n. s. backs,
Lovejoy and Sawyer, or the offensive work
OF the normal school center aud forwards.
Il. 8. N. 5. exceiled in passing and hand
ling the bali. shaw Was easily the star OF
the game on the offensive, but had Love
Joy, for instsnce, fsltered for a moment,
the game would have been lost.
The writer has never seen a girls bas-
ket ball team show better spirit than that
manifested by f. NJ. c. s. They certainly
are good losers. Hats OF to Coach Perkins.

FREEDOM CAUSE or 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. ]. Rosenbach. presi-
dent of the Association of Phychiatr-
lists, as mass psychosis." In other
words, the birth of political freedom
has been driving many persons insane.
II is a mistake TO assume that war
makes sane men mad, according to
Professor RoseDbach. who says that
during the war he has treated between
5000 and 1000 insane soldiers, but
that In no case did he discover that
the victims mental affection had been
caused by war horrors or privations.
During the first month of the revolu-
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
strations." Similar phenomena were
observed during the French revolution
after the war of 1S70-71, Professor
Rosenbach observes.

Population CONGESTION.

According to the most reliable esti-
mates the population of our globe in
1913 was 1851, $4,000. Two-thirds of
this total Europe. 44s.0O0,000; India,
3o2 100000; China proper. 328,Q00, zoe ;
Japan, without dependencies, b2.000,-
0O0) are concentrated upon less than
one-seventh of the earth's surface.
The eight largest cities OF Japan
(1913) are: Tokyo. 100000 inhabi-
tants Osaka. 1,228.0 900; Kioto, 442 600 ;
Yokohama. $4,000; Nagoya, $4,000 :
Kobe. 37s000; Nagasaki, 10000; and

PLANTS NEED WINTER COLD
Exposure to Low Temperature Is Re-
CURED to Prepare for Another
Period of Growth.

The role of winter cold In plant
growth has recently been described by
Or. r. V. Coville. After the period of
growth in spring ard summer there is
period Of dormancy before cold
weather sets In, and If plants are main
tanned artificiauy at high tempera-
ture this dormant period persists. Eek
poaure 10 cold is needed to activate
the plant for another period of growth.
Perhaps the liberation of engines acts
on the stored starches, converting them
into sugars, or the phenomenon may
be due to a change in the permeability
of the cell membrane.
Though normally the stimulus re-
quired for renewal of growth is sup
piled by cold, mechanical injury or
period of drying may have the same
effect. The process occurs independent
ly IN any exposed part of plant, so
that If one or two branches of plant
is kept continually warm while the
other is subjected to the usual winter
chilling, the former will not develop on
the return Of summer Temperatures,
though the latter develops as usual. II
would be interesting TO learn what
stimulus takes the place Of cold in the
equatorial regions.

The Moon In japanese Poetry.

japanese fondness for moon gazing
must not be interpreted as a pure feel
ing of JOY in the presence of beauty !;
1t is mixed with melancholy sentiment,
says the New East. The soul is
touched with strange and deep pathos
when looking at the moon with night
sky as background and-silence. Shi-
rakawa had the idea when he said
"As l, IN solitude look attentively up
on the moon, seem TO merge into one
ness with her. This attitude toward
nature quite differs from that which
one feels at sight of the first touch OF
day spot of high light upon the
top of Mount Full.

privilege Of standing covered in the

they Wed with one another In the size
