Harvard Student Gives Details of Prof.
Levanzin's Experience Man Placed
In Alr-Tlght Box for 33 Days
Without Food.
Boston. Details of tho scientific
starving of Prof. Agostino Levanzln at
the nutrition laboratory of tho Car
negie Institute in Roxbury, conducted
by Prof. Francis Sano Denedict, and
which have been suppressed for days,
were made public by M. F. Tufts, a
senior at tho Harvard denial school
and a former subject.
That Professor Lavanzin was virtu
ally a prisoner during tho thirty-three
days of his fast and that during a part
of tho tlmo ho was kept in a zinc air
tight coflln with his mouth sealed and
breathing air fed him by tubes in his
nostrils, is alleged.
That students working their way
through collego and anxious to earn a
little money are placed In tubs filled
with ice water and floating ice to
Btudy tho action of extremo cold upon
the body Is charged.
Students are fed Btrange diets to
boo what tho stomach will stand and
what It will refuse, it Is said, and vi
visection of dogs in a most repulsive
form is practiced.
The purpose of the laboratory is to
secure data that will be of valuo to
humanity, and particularly thp scien
tific importance of food and tho lack
of it.
Tuft's story, In pa,rt, is as follows:
"A largo part of the time Professor
Levanzln remained in the calorimeter
room. This room 13 a perfoctly air
tight chamber. Ho was laid down on
a cpuch. His mouth was sealed. Into
hlB nostrils were Inserted rubber tubes
connecting with a series of Jars and a
motor, completing tho circuit. These
PASSING OF THE SANTEE
Many Former Midshipmen of U. S.
School Remember Unhappy Hours
Upon It.
Annapolis, Md. The old sailing
frigate Santeo is reported to bo past
Bavlng, badly aleak and Bunk in the
mud horo. If it is found that she
must be broken up where sho lies,
there will hardly be another vigorous
protest like that by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, which saved the Constitution.
Tho conditions aro in no way alike,
and yet It Is probable that on no other
ship havo so largo a proportion ot
tho officers of the navy served as on
tho old Santee, which was long In
commlSBlon as a disciplinary adjunct
to the naval academy, as well as for
practico In sailormanshlp and smooth
bore gunnery.
Sho belonged to tho Civil war period
and is said to havo been a beautiful
ship of her type, nor motlvo power
being wind and sails. But her long
record as a placo for discipline of the
middles who failed in strict observ
ance of tho countless regulations nt
Annapolis was not of a- kind to appear
strongly to tho affectionate remem
brance of tho graduates of the acad
emy or to arouflo tho onthuslasm of
tbo civilian.
Tho Santeo will pass with brief
newspaper notices only, and with it
tho English languagos, bb spokon at
Annapolis, Will probably lose a word.
Tho Santoes will bo remembered as
one of the Confederate trlbos of tho
Sioux, and there will continue to bo
discipline at tho naval acadomy, but
presumably no untidy, careless or re
" fractory "middy" will over again be
"santcei1 "

Jars were filled with chemicals, which

The weight of tho carbon dloxido and

NEGROES SCARED BY BABY
When a Few Hours Old It Phophe
cles End of World In Novem
ber, Then Dies.
Thomasvlllo, Ga. According to re
ports rocclvcd here tho negroes
around Pelham, over It Mitchell coun
ty, aro much stirred up over an Infant
phenomenon which, It is said, spoke
when only a few hours old, and
among other things predicted tho end
of tho world. i
Several negroes hero havo received
letters from friends in Pelham telling
of this child, which, they afllrm, turn
ed and spoko to its mother when it
had ben born only eight hours. Tho
child, so tho story goes, told Its moth
er that it would die in two hours and
sho would dlo In four hours nnd tho
world would como to an end in nix
months. Mother and child are both
said to havo departed this life on
schedule time, and now tho colored
population havo no doubt whatever
that tho remainder of tho prophecy
will bo fulfilled.
Another portion of tho prophecy
which tho ,child Is nlleged to havo ut
tered nnd which showed that it pos
sessed a voico of wisdom wns that it
would rain "off and on" until the end
of tho world. As tho showers In this
section havo undoubtedly been of that
character of late and are liable to
continue so, thoro is no difficulty In
rectifying tho truth of the utterance,
which is of course held up as a con
firmation of the whole matter.

CHAIR CAUSES MORE DEATHS
Large Increase of Executions in Ken

the Electric Device.
Frankfort, Ky. Substitution of tho
death chair for tho gallows in Ken
tucky has been followed by nn in
creased perccntago of convictions In
flist degree murder casos, according
to stato officials. Thero aro now 13
prisoners In the Eddyvlllo peniten
tiary nwaiting execution, tho largest
number ever assembled thero at ono
time.
Under tho old system of hanging
prisoners tho sheriff of tho county in
which conviction was secured was
compelled to executo tho prisoners.
Thoy disliked this duty and somo of
them used their influence to promote
public sentlmont ngnlnst tho death

Her Highness Would Gladly Surren
der Title, Wealth and Attentions
to Again Live the Simple
Llfo In England.
Chrlatlansand Norway. Incomo
$200,000 n year. Everybody says
"Your majesty." Power to do as sho
pleases. A husband who Is dovotod to
her". A son who is growing up full of
lifo and spirits, yet a model of what
a Bon and n futuro monarch ought to
bo. Subjects universally ndorlng her.
And, withal, Queen Maud of Norway
Isn't Batlsllod. Sho is content with
or husband, Norway's King Haakon
VII., nnd alio Is rejoiced over hor son,
tho Crown Prlnco Olnf.
But sho doesn't care for tho $200,000
a year Norway grants to monarchs;
sho'd rather havo tho $40,000 buo used
to skimp along on and bo poor. Sho
ia tired of being her mnjesty, and
would infinitely prefer being a prln
cess, poor nt that, says a writer. Sho
would welcome her carllor llfo, whon
sho was picked on by a mother-in-law
and whero can woman find n moro
malign fato? Sho Is willing enough
thnt tho Norgcginn people Bhnll adoro
hor; but sho would delight In exchang
ing hor coach of Btato for tho top of n
London omnibus, with Norway forget
ting all about her.
So there, enthroned by a wholo na
tion's dollborato choico, victorious
over all misfortuno nfter ycarB of
harsh subjoction, is a queon who ro
sembles no other queen alive, and a
woman who is homesick for tho very
things which millions of other -women
aro breaking their necks and their
husbands backs to get away from.
Sho has had hor grandeurs now for
half a dozen years, and tho longer
they havo been thrust upon hor tho
sicker sho grows ot them.
"I Bometimca get tired of being
royal, especially when I am looked at
and wondered over llko ono of tho
Tussaud waxworks. I often think how
glorious it must bo to bo ablo to Jump
on tho top of a bus nnd havo a day
out. I think I shnll Bomo day."
That was what sho said soon after
aho was crownel as Norway's chosen
queen. Sho thinks It moro emphatical
ly now; sho is chronically tired of be
ing wondered at, and chronically hun
gry to Jump on top of a bus nnd havo
a day out. Sho said so only tho other
day in other words.
If sho could only abandon her solemn
throne; only go to her old homo in
England and live thero in pcaco and
quiet, rearing her boy, now some nlno
years old, to bo a simple gentleman;
Street In Quaint Old Chrlotlanla.
If sho could only enjoy hor outdoor
lifo as sho used to, without any ono
noticing hor nnd with her husband at
her sldo, to bo called Carl instead ol
Hnakon.
Sho calls bim that anyway; but sb
wants to hear evorybody clso speak
of him by tho familiar name, and she
longs to boar hersolf called Harry by
tho voices of hor own family, as she
used to bo whon her father, King Ed
ward, was alivo and was skimping out
a few thousand pounds a year from
his royal Incomo to keep her from bo
Ing too hard up over in Denmark.
Sho is difforont from bcr mother
Queon Alexnndra, who has been mov
ing heaven and earth to retain some
vestiges of tbo royal authority sho
wielded beforo Queon Mary so morel
lessly relocated her to dowagershlp
and obscurity. 8ho Is different from
Queen Amelia of Portugal, who braved
assassination to bold her tottering
tbrono for tho sako of Manuel, tho one
fiontho assassin left to her; different
from Italy's queen, who nssumed a
throno in tho faco of royal contempt
nnd popular dissatisfaction, and fought
her battlo for respect nnd obedience
through years of suspicion and unkind
criticism; different from almost all
other queens, who havo lived and, hav
ing onco reigned, havo abandoned tha
royal promlnenco and prerogatives
only at tho bayonet point and cvon
then If wo recollect, Mario Antoinette
remained resolved to wait for tho guillotine.
