Fuel in Trunk That
Had Held His Money
Drives Man Insane

Hammond, Ind, Dec. Gall is
not milk and honey for the foreign
er who returns to his native land
after accumulating a fortune in the
United States by shaving and saving
Word was received here of the
fate of George Lungu, who went to
Roumania four months ago indie
pendently rich from the proceeds Of
a saloon operated in Indiana Har-
Dor. Before leaving, Lungu bought
enough clothes to last him several
years and placed them in trunks to-
gether with most of his money.
As he neared his home in Rot
mania he was robbed of the money
he had on his person by one of the
numerous bands of ex-soldiers who
now infest the country. But he con-
soled himself with the thought that
he had still enough money in his
trunks. When his trunks arrived,
however, they contained only wood
and coal.
That was too much for Lungu. He
became violently insane and is now
confined in an asylum.

he at first was forced to recognize
because of the conduct of the native
members Of his household. A three
fold course was idolatry, fetch and
sacred charms. A fetch might exist
anywhere, the natives believed, and
in his fight against it DR.. Overs had
to take bold stroke.
Saved by the King.
There were fetch trees where the
natives offered up sacrifices. To
these trees the fetch priests fastened
sacred charms which even they did
not dare remove. To do so meant
death, they believed. DR.. Overs
took cutlass and stripped one OF
the trees of its ornaments. This
angered the natives, who wanted to
kill him. Only their kings course
OF reasoning saved him, for he lived
despite the stripping of the tree
This showed them that he must have
more powerful god than any of
theirs and that his god would punish
them if they killed him.
The stripping of the tree eventu-
ally caused the natives to lose faith
in the fetch and charms and later
school and church were, reared under
the branches of the former fetch
tree. .,.
On one trip into the interior DR..
Overs did not see a white man for
rine months and he found 100000
natives who had never seen one. At
one settlement 10000 inhabitants fed
in terror when he approached. His
were the experiences of Livingstone
and Stanley, but he penetrated a
country which they never reached.
DR.. Overs is rector of the Church
of the Ascension at Bradford, Pa,
having been ordained into the
Protestant Episcopal, ministry az
Harrisburg, Pa. in 1910. Before 60
ing to Bradford he held charges in
Mechanicsburg and Wellsboro, Pa.
He served Methodist Episcopal
churches in New York City and at
Jamestown, N. Y.
He will sail for Africa soon after
Christmas and Mrs. Overs and their
children will reside at Jamestown
during his absence. In Liberia
Bishop Overs will have a native Ii
berian as suffragan.

Floating Mines In
North Sea Still Are
Menace to Vessels

Stockholm, Dec. 6.-The danger
10 shipping from floating mines in
the North Sea is increasing, accord
ing to the chief inspector of the
Swedish mercantile marine for that
district of navigation, who predicts
that this winter the mines will con-
stitute greater menace than at any
period since the mine fields were
laid.
So extensive were the mine fields
and so numerous the mines, says the
inspector, that large numbers of
them escaped destruction by the
English and American mine sweep
ers, Notwithstanding the energy and
diligence with which they worked.
More mines than ever before now
are said to be loose and drifting to-
ward the Swedish coast. Efforts
are made to sink such mines as are
seen by shooting thenA but it is i'm
possible to cope with them all in
this way.
