LIBEL ACTION BY GERMAN MINISTERS.

OAR AND MONKEY.

In some respect the new régime here plus Royalista que le roi" (writes the Berlin correspondvat of the Daily Tele Prapa). It was one of the innumerable inconsistencies of the rule of Wilhelm II. that while people who spoke disrespect fully of him or his ancestors were panish- ed with ruthless severity, caricaturists were allowed to deal with his person. pretty much

they liked. Week in and week out he was mercilessly held

#P to ridicule in the pictorial pages of the comic Press, and no action was taken against the responsible editors. It has been left to the present rulers of Germany to call in the principle of Majestats- beliedigung against the pictorial Fam poons of their opponents. Some time ago an obscure and gross weekly, called Satur, published, under the beading "Our Menagerie," a full-page illustration, in which various members of the Government were pictured na animals Most of the Ministers thus travestied ignored the thing, bet Egert and Noske thought it necessary in the interests of the State to enter proceedings for libel. In the cari- catura Ebert was represented, as a pig. sitting in a chair, with a look of supreme content on his face Beneath the picture &quatrain to the effect that, creature comforts being the real aim of every rundane activity, the boar re- joiced in his own fat, and was satisfied. Nosks was a monkey, gnawing the applo of militarism, and an accompanying dis tich remarked that it was ludicrous for a Socialist to do this.

Perhaps the most galling feature of the caricature as that both the President and the Minister of Defence were depicted in bathing drawers. And thereby banga tale Disraeli said that Reel caught the Whigs bathing and walked away with their clothes The German monarchists did something much more subtle than that. They caught Ebert and. Noske bath ing and took a snapshot of them, which they enlarged and published as a fullpage illustration in a weekly paper. This

trick hhs, perhaps, been the most effective blow struck against the present regime. In their clothes Ebert is not without a certain corpulent dignity and Nooke is a tall straight, and sirilo man, but neither of them lends himself particularly to treatment in the altogether." They were caught standing up to their knees in water, and this curtailment of their figures rather exaggerated their physical Imperfections. Moreover, they were in holiday mood, and their faces were ex Breasions of anconstrained joviality which little ggested -the - responsibilities of office and the cares of State,

In the libel action which was tried here everything, depended upon the views of a number of experts who were called to areak on the traditions and usagen which constitute the unwritten law of cari- cature. Though these authorities includ- ed persons so diverse in temperament and bonviction na the apostle of pan Gaimanism, Count Ernst Reventlow, and the veteran Socialist, Edward Bernstein, ther all agreed that from time immemo- rial it had been customary to caricature -21 public persortages an animals, and that the pictures challenged in this case did not transgress the bounds of legitimate poli hical estiren, Consequently, the bench had. no option but to sequit the defendant, though it expressed the opinion that whereas the Noko monkey could under no circumstances be considered libellons, the Ebert pig was very near the "boundary, line

By this very ill-advised action, Ebert and Noske have only supplied the bent nos sib'e advertisement to the Satyr, to whore mercy they are now delivered, and Freshened the memories of their disas trous seaside holiday.

HUMIDITY AND HEALTH.

His studies of the effects of climats have shown Dy Ellsworth Huntington of Yale that the human organism is amazingly sensitive to slight changes in the atmos phere In Modern Medicine he expresses the belief that the health of most parts of the world is best when the average day and night temperature closely approaches 64 deg. F and that, at all temperatures up to this optimum dry air does far more damage then moist, while even at higher. temperatures extreme dryness is worse than.apy degres of moisture except the extreme At a mean outdoor temperature of 81 deg the best relative humidity is about 80 per cent, which means dew at night and a midday humidity of 60 per cent in clear weather. Another unexpecte ed lesson is that variability in the air is as important as in diet or occupation; and a climate or room with moderate variations above and below the optimum ificis more healthful than one that remains unchanged.
