SAYS WOMEN TEACHERS ARE PRONE TO INSANITY. ; Proféssor Zimmer of Berlin Gives Startling Results of Inquiries in Asylums. Berlin Jan 15 whose mental diseases among women have been already noticed, returns to the subject with a careful analysis of the mentar conditions of women 'school teachers. He has drawn his information from all the asviums in German, Austria, Switzerland and Russia. and found that in every eighty-five female patients there is one school teacher. In Prussia thgre is one teacher every 450 women of the population. It seems to follow. therefore, that men tal cisorders among teachers are four jtimes as numerous hire as they ought to be. The ease is still worse with those voung teachers. Among them the cases of insanity are ten times more numerous than they ought to be Prof. Zimmer savs "HH telephon girls or sales girls show signs of men tal disturbances it is not to be won derea at, for their occupations are hardly those that a woman can call suitable to her - sex, but_ in teaching, which is usually considered a suitable employment for women, when the re sults are so disastrous, there is every reason for serious consideration." ! Prof. Zimmer is sure that in other countries, notably Fggland and the United States, where women are more widely occupied in business and in professions than +n Germeny, scien tificatly---cotlected statistics will show the same melancholy results. FUEL MADE FROM CLAY. Proi. Zimmer, to Treated Chemically, Burns With a White, Strong Heat. 15--E. J. Hofiman, a Chicago and North-western railroad engineer, who retired from his voeca tion because of ill-health, has invented in his little hat factory, where he ckes out a living, a fuel that he as serts is composed of clay to the ex tent of mnety per cent.
