Report as to the Apparent Increase of Lunacy in

 in the comforting assurance that there is no evidence of any abnormal 

 increase of insanity in the county of Wilts ; that the apparent increase 

 arises from an accumulation of the insane in the asylum; and that a 

 still further apparent increase may be expected from the further operation 

 of this tendency.

StOnehenge. On August 24th, 1905, the " Ancient Order of Druids" 

 held a Grand Lodge within the circle, the proceedings at which were 

 chronicled at length in the daily press (Standard, Daily Chronicle, &c., 

 August 25th). The latter paper remarked " It is depressing when grave 

 men play the buffoon ... we pray heaven we may hear no more 

 of these Ancient Druids and their silly doings at Stonehenge." The 

 Devizes Gazette of August 31st reprinted a most humorous account of 

 the ridiculous proceedings by the special correspondent of the Morning 

 Leader.
