some queer facts regarding the nature
and purpose of tears, coming to the as

the human organism "like chloroform,
ether or alcohol."
"When a human being gives way to

TO CRIME DR GROSS
(Hearst News by Longeat Leased Wire.)
Munich, June 20. In his new book
on criminal Psychology," Dr. Gross
gives many Instances showing that
dreams often lead weak persons to
crime, and also cause women and chil
dren to make false accusations impli
cating innocent people. He describes a
most extraordinary case as follows:
"On the threshold of a Constantinople
mosque an Armenian Moslem was caught
after killing a small baby by decapita
tion. The murderer was perfectly calm
and at once surrendered to the police.
Here Is his explanation of the crime.
Two years ago, while lying sick unto
death, John the Baptist appeared to him
in a dream and said that God would al
low him to recover If he agreed to sac
rifice his baby when V months old. The
Armenian promised to obey the com
mand. He recovered.
As the baby's seventh monthly birth
day was approaching, John the Baptist
appeared to mm several times in his
dreams reminding him of his obligation.
The Armenian promised to give half of
his fortune to tne poor, and actually did
so. but the mythical hero of his dreams

Armenian prayed for several hours, and
receiving no sign of release from the
obligation he murdered bis child.

Men who alwava "vetar t I ...

By Lady Somerset
" (Hearst News by Lengestf Leased Wire.)
London. June 20. If the recumbent
figure fwhtch lies en the superb tomb
erected to the Duke ot Wellington In
St Paul's cathedral could rise from Its
bronze' bed and be endued with life, the
sight ot French flags waving; from
very window In every street and French
colors on every masthead, would as
tonish the old veteran whose life was
given to annihilate the power of that
kingdom. .
.Truly. London has during the last few
days presented the appearance of a Bo-
man city about to celebrate a triumph.
and President Fallieres has had a greet
ing accorded to few In the history of
nations.
This welcome Is all the more Inter
esting because It reminds us that the
welfare of a nation itseii is recognixea
in the person of its ruler rather than
in the magnificence of the state which
surrounds the court of, a crowned head,
and nothing has. given one a wider hope
for the peace of the world than the
hand-clasp of nations who have In the
past .been often such bitter antagon
ists. The fetes which have been organised
to celebrate the visit of the Republican
president and opening of the entente
cordials exhibition are memorable even
In the record of the magnificent recep
tions that London has accorded to great
men in the past i The president with
his bushy gray hair, his face drawn
with strong Tines and a gleaming French
smile, was a figure fug of singular sim
plicity and dignity In the midst of the
great pageants.
It is a peculiar trait, I think, of
French people that they have an Innate
dignity, an innate belief in their right
to any position and in their power to
fill It which gives a calm self-confidence
to men who might otherwise feel
abashed by the fact that they had not
been born to Inherited splendor.
France's President
President Fallieres' charm of manner
and perfect dignity won every heart.
An English crowd Is an Interesting
study.
A German guest once remarked that
nothing Impressed him more in London
than the capacity of self-control. "A
thousand years oi uoeriy, saia mis
friendly oritio, "has taught your people
In great gatherings the art or self
management bevond all other nations.'
This axiom, I thlnkis borne out when
one watches how the wave of a police
man's hand will move great masses of
people without the slightest attempt oi
anv other kind at enforcing the order
required.
But London has been waving with
banners, sparkling uniforms of life
guards have been trotting through the
streets, brilliant carriages have moved
in procession and cheers have been sung
out from thousands of lustv lunes.
The king and queen have smiled un
ceasingly, and the president has been
everywhere greeted with enthusiasm.
The Whfte City." as it is called,
which was the objective point, of his
visit, is disappointing, at any rate dis
appointing to those who remember the
White City of Chicago, but then, we do
not expect to look on the like of that
again.
Amidst hundreds of little suburban
houses, uninteresting and somewhat
squalid, rise the portals of buildings so
foreign to their surroundings and so In
harmonious to their setting that it is as
though some great upheaval of nature
had displaced a semi-Moorish and semi
medieval city and dropped it down in
Shepherd's Bush. m
I remember too well the great, wide
lake, the splendid arch and colonnade
which were the gateway of the waters,
to . feel much satisfaction, from an ar
tistic noint of view, in the Franoo-
Engllsh exhibition In London. Never
theless, when we look art the Crystal
palace, where rears its hideous head in
Sydenham, and remember that that was
of 1RE1. we mav be thank

but in that glass structure, were boused
goods which representea one ana mrw
uarters minion, wunuui ma xwu muuur
i.mnni) whereas the exhibits in the
French exhibition are now-supposed to
be worth five million.
Entrance Beoeipt.
The entrance receipts In 18S1 totalled
506,000. and an excess was left over
the expenditure of 200,000, which be
came available for the eduoatlon work
which the Prince Consort . desired to
carry out
Motor cars and taxtcaba now pant
their way into the courts of this new
exhibition, women in serpent-like di
rectors gowns, men In straw hats of
every shape and size, form a contrast
to the crinolined flKures with poke bon
nets and flowing mantles, the towering
beaver hat. stock cravat and broadcloth
coat which distinguished the visitor
of that earlier time.
It is amusing to think that in the
afternoon when the exhibition of 18S1
was opened, In the glaring light of a
summer sun, the queen wore a dress
of pink watered silk, brocaded with
silver, trimmed with pink ribbons and
blonde, and ornamented with diamonds,
and diamonds and feathers formed the
head dress, while the Empress Frederick,-
who was then the Princess Royal,
wore a white satin slip, with two skirts
of Nottingham lace, and round her bead
a wreathe of pale pink wild roses.
Queen Victoria often told the story
that among the sideshows of the great
exhibition there was a aort of mechani
cal toy which showed a boy leaping
from a boat to land, while a monstrous
eye gleamed from an overhanging cloud.
When the queen asked what it meant
the Inventor said: 'The boy is the
prince of Wales, and the eye is the eye
of God, looking out with pleasure for
the moment when his royal highness
will. land on his kingdom and become
a royal sovereign." It was hardly a
tactful toy to show to a young queen,
who was the mother of a very imma
ture heir. jt
Another Story told and romitnnhrri
Is that on the day of the great parade
through the new building, as the ranks
were lormea, a cninaman in splendid
garb bowed low before the aueen. He
was unknowp. There was a whisper
mat piuiy una was tne emperor or
China, who desired to see the wonders
of a western kingdom.
If this tale were true, no risks must
h run. and the aueen hnrrluiif

Archbishop of Canterburr and th rviira
of Wellington. Gaily the pigtailed guest
obeyed the order, but ft was discon

memoirs, "on the following day to find
