Death i'm Stoves.

The Journal Of Chemistry, in an
article warning its readers to be care
full IN the management of stoves, saws /:
GA lump of anthracite of the usual
varieties IS composed largely of carbon,
with a small amount of sulphur. When
lgnlted, the gaseous products formed
are carbonic oxide and sulphuric acid,
the two latter being poisonous and the
former destroying life by its physical
presence, excluding oxygen from the
lungs. Death is caused by asphyxia
when these gases are inhaled. The
blood becomes dark from imperfect
aeration, and the action of the heart
gradually grows sluggish, and finally it
ceases to beat altogether. When these
are allowed to escape into a room, the
inmates are not usually sensible of their
presence after a short time. The senses
of smell and taste become in a great
measure impaired, and indifference to
danger and disinclination to arouse ones
self are observable. Hence the great
peril OF the poison is at night time,
when the inclination to sleep is strong.
A very large number of persons, old and
young, suffer in health from inhaling
coal gases in city and country during the
winter months. Whenever the slightest
odor is perceived in a dwelling, instant
vigilance should be exercised, and the
cause removed at once. It is a bad plan
to put coal upon a fire in furnace or
stove just before retiring at night. The
gaseous products, especially the sui
phurous acid, are more copious for an
hour or two afterward, and, consequent
ly, more dangerous.
cit should be a rule in every family
that some trusty person should examine
the heating apparatus carefully before
retiring each night. In dull, damp,
moderate weather, the danger is greater,
and the supervision should be more
thorough. Never sleep in a room heated
by a coal stove if it can be avoided.
Never allow children to sleep in rooms
warmed by stoves in contiguous rooms
unless they are under the direct charge
of some careful person. Never carry
ignited charcoal into a sleeping room
with the view of warming it in cold
weather. Never leave a pan filed with
Goals used for warming beds in the room
where a patient sleeps; such an act may
cost a life."

Fight Between Whale and q Sea
Serpent.

The following decription of an en-
counter between a whale and a sei
serpent is extracted from an af6divi
of a Captain West, of Hallowell
Maine:
About 9 O'Clock 10 the afternoon,
Cape Ann bearing west.southwesI
about two leagues, steering a course
north-uorthwest, saw directly ahead
distant about three -6ltbs Of mile, au
object which l have no doubt was the
sea serpent so often mentioned by
others, engaged with whale that
was endeavoring to elnde the attack
The serpent threw up his tail frou
twenty-five to thirty feet in a perpen
dicular direction, striking the whale
with tremendous blows rapidly re-
peated, which we're distinctly heard
and very loud, for two or three min
utes. They then both disappeared
for several minutes, moving in west
south west direction, when they re.
appeared inshore Of us, and nboutun-
der the sun, the reflection Of which
was So str ug as to prevent our see
ing so distinctly as before, when the
tremendous blows were repeated, and
as clearly heard as before. They
then went down again for short
time, and again came up to the sur
face under our larboard quarter, the
whale appearing 6rst, and the serpent
n pursuit. Here our view was very
fair. The serpent shot up his tail
through the water to the height be-
fore mentioned, which he held out OF
the water some time. waving it in the
air, and at the same time, while his
tail remained in this position, raised
his head rather leisurely fifteen or
twenty feet, as If taking view of the
surface of The sea. Alter remaining
in this situation a abort time he again
sunk into the water, disappeared, aud
was not sfterv4rd seen by any on
board.
The serpents body was larger, il
my opinion, than the mast of any ship

ged and rough, aud was shaped some

culated. he caused researches to be
made by Messas, Barring Bros. & Co.,
the great Euglish bankers, which
fully demonstrated the stiffness o:
the story.
Mr.. George B. Chase ssys that the
old story has been revived after twen-
ty-fve years Of rest. The present
heirs are encouraged to contribute
literally to the fund, with the sssur-
an1e that they will receive value"
in The shape Of "a picture Of the
original coat-of-arms and motto,
which the Committee have received
from England at Considerable sx.
pense." Mr.. Chase shows that this
is The precise coat-of-arms which he
published in the Heraldic Journal of
October, 1868. TIE motto, "Ne cedc
mails" is an addition.
This kn nock- down is fairly given by
Mr.. Chase to the heirs Of William
Chase, Of Yarmouth individually and
collectively, as follows: These heirs
claim that Richard, the elder brother
of William, was Aid -de-camp to the
Duke of Wellington. Through his
efforts, he being Thorough going |
man., judgment was secured for the
heirs in Chancery, the estate having
been placed in Chancery by bill
fled 10 l746. Inwmuch as William
Chase came over to Yarmouth in
1880, and Richard was his senior
brother and. inasmuch as the bill was
lied in 1746 and put through after
'ome delay by Richard-then Abide /
,aup to the Duke Of Wellington
created Duke in lS14)-it follows
hat Mr.. Richard Chase was q most
thorough going man in the matter
# age, being, on the most favorable
two hundred years old
shen he put that long-liugering bill
through. This ought to be sa'isfac-
ory even to the most infatuated Of
he Chase heirs. /.

4 Knock.DOwn Blow For the Chas'
Heirs,

The verv hairs of our head are
numbered. which is more than can be
slid of the heirs Of Thcma Aquila
and William Chase. A convention
of these heirs who are Interested in
the Chase estate, valued at untold
millions, which lies in the English
Court of ChaDcery awaiting a claim
ant having been held here recently,
aud a still larger convention having
been called to meet at Trenton, New
jersey, it may not be uninteresting
to ommend to the perusal Of these
gentlemen some facts communicated
By Mr.. Geo. b Chase, Z34 Beacon
street, Boston.
There are two Chase families in
New England. One-found in Maine,
New Hampshire, and North eastern
Massachuetts-is descended from
Thomas aud Aquila Chase, grantees
of Hampton IN 1889, who were de-
scended from Thomas Chase, OF
Cheshan, Bucks, 1910. The other
family is descended from William
Chase, who came er in Winthrop's
feet in 1880, and settled and died at
armouth. Its members are found
10 Central and Southern Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island. Mr.. G. b.
Chase maintains that there is not one
title of evidence TO show that Will
liam Chase was related to Thomas
and Aquila Chase, careful search
BY a distinguished professional
antiquarian (the results of which
were published BY Mr.. G. B. Chase in
the Herald,c Journal for October
1861 having amply proven this:
Mr.. Chase says that the whole
story of the Chase inheritance vas

SOLDIERS HOMESTEAD LAw.-As 10
what changes were nadcin the Home
stead Law by the last session OF Con
gress, we learn that only one amend
uent or change was made in the law
passed last year, the second section
of which was so amended a. to read
as follows:
THAT any person entitled under
the provisions of the foregoing sse-
tions to enter homestead, who has
heretofore entered under .hs home
stead laws q quantity Of land less
than one hundred and sixty acres,
shall be permitted to enter DO much
land AZ. when added to the quantity
previously entered, shall not exceed
one hundred and sixty serss"
This change in the isw gives
soldiers the right 10 entst home
stead. on double mibirum lsnds
within the limits or railway grants,
to the amount ef ose hundred aud
sixty acres. Under the law of 1872
eighty acres Of these lands we're al
lowed to be entered. Those Who have
,lresdy entered their eighty acres
can now enter eighty more. Exchange.
