HOW THE UNFORTUN-
liz" ATE INSANE WE'RE

IN ATE INSANE WE'RE
REGARDED IN OLD FRANCE.
How insane people used to be
! cared for in the France Of
! Louis Philippe is described In
! Anne Douglas Sedgwick's "A
Childhood in Brittany Eighty
Years Ago." The Century says
in this new serial the author Of
"Tante" retells in the fret per-
son the life story told her by an
old F. anch countess Of Breton
origin. The madhouse in her
Breton birthplace was one of
the widest memories Of her
childhood.
There was only q dungeon
room," she writes, land the wa
ter often rose in it so that the
forsaken creatures stood up to :
their knees III water. Food was
thrown to them through the iron
bars Of the windows, but it was .
quite insufficient, and my aunt
gave me terrible descriptions of
the faces she used to see look
ing out, ravenOus and implor.
ing. She remembered that the
bones protruded from the
knuckles Of one old man as he !
clutched the bars"
She used to pile loaves Of j
bread in her little boat, row
across to the tower and fix the ]
loaves on the end Of an oar so !
that she could pass them up to !
the window, and she would then
see the mad people snatching i!
the bread apart and devouring ]
it. And when the cherries on :?
the great trees were ripe she !
used to climb up into the !
branches and bend them against
the window SO that they might s
gather the fruit themselves !
from among the leaves, and she
herself would gather all she
could reach and throw them in. !
"When one of them died, the !
body was taken out, and this
was all the care they had. Such &
were the horrors in town !
where people across the river i
quietly ate aad slept, and the
church bells rang all day." )

HOW SCIENCE PROVES ]
~ '" GREAT ANTIQUITY


HOW SCIENCE PROVES
~" GREAT ANTIQUITY
OF DISEASE IN MANKIND
The immense antiquity Of dis
ease is shown by scars and mai
formations on the fossilized re-
mains Of animals that lived hun
dreds Of millions Of years ago.
Evidence would seem to indicate
that living things did not suffer
from disease until the carbonif-
erous age, according to Prof.
Roy L. Noodle, writing In the
Scientific Monthly. In thar
period Of rampant life, when
the enormous quantities of veg
etable matter were being depos-
tied on the earth to become our
coal beds. disease seemingly be-
gan its melancholy career. The
, Oldest known evidences of patho-
logical conditions among ami
; mails are to be found in the re- !
mains of a very primitive worm
; like type of the coal age. Dur ,
. ing this age there was q wide ;
spread development of bacteria,
. which doubtlessly had its mean
ing in the origin Of disease.
Germ diseases are indicated;
teeth of fossil fishes show evil
dences of gangrenous conditions.
The period Immediately sue
ceeding the carbOniferous age
was marked by the great devel-
Opment Of huge and curious rep J
tiles. Fossils Of these reptiles
show widespread disease condi-
tons and give the first evidences !
of injuries as they prevailed
among the early forms of life.
The prevalence Of disease ]
reached height during the age |
of huge reptiles, and their ex-
tinctiOn apparently brought 1
about the disappearance Of many J
diseases which attacked them. |
At any rate, the incidence of }
diseases went down sharply with !
the disappearance of the reptiles !
and remained low until the rise
of our own mammalian type,
when it reached a very high
point, which still continues.
We know from medieval his
tory that diseases become ex- {
tinct, and doubtlessly many of !
the maladies from which prehis- !
tOric animals suffered are now !
extinct, and many that we suf-
fer from did not exist among !
them.

REJECTS FALL
AMENDMENTS
First Test on Treaty Is Hailed
as Victory by Both
Sides.
VOTE IN SENATE IS 58 TO 80
Senator Lodge Says He Is Delighted
Beyond Measure and Hitchcock De-
cIares Vote Indicates No Text
uaI Changes Will Be Made.

Washington, Oct. 4.-By vote of
80 to SO the senate rejected Senator
Falls amendment disentangling the
United States from participation in
the multitude Of commissions which
will enforce the terms of the peace
with Germany.
The vote of 80 to So was on the
amendment to eliminate American rep
resentation on the commission to de-
limit the boundary between Germany
and Belgium. On succeeding votes on
other amendments Cummins and Ken
yon of Iowa, Jones of Washington,
Sterling of South Dakota and Town
send of Michigan, Republicans, and
Thomas of Colorado, Democrat, Joined
the supporters of the disentangling
program.
On the amendment to keep the
United States out of the Silesian inn
broglio, 80 senators were recorded for
the proposition.
The leaders of both factions pro-
fessed entire satisfaction with the re-
suit.
Senator Lodge, the Republican lead
er, made this statement:
81 am delighted beyond measure.
The result conclusively shows that the
treaty must be written to suit us or
it will be rejected"
Senator Hitchcock, the administra-
ton leader, said:
sThe action indicates well-defned
determination on the part of the SEN
ate not to do anything which will send
the treaty back to the other signator-
les. 1t indicates the defeat of all text
ual amendments, and of all reserva-
tons which have the effect of amend
ments"
