Professor Smiths Theory About the
shower Of EIeAh in kentuckY

LOUISVILLE, mSrch ll.-1n regard to
the shower OF flesh in Bath county, Pro.
fessor J. Lawrence Smith, the scientist,
says in his analysis of specimens exa-
mined: ''In my mind this matter gives
every indication Of being the dried
spawn Of the Batrachisn reptiles, d JuLt-
less that OF the frog. They have been
transported from the ponds and swampy
grounds by cOrfents Of winds, aud have
ultimately fallen on the sp It where they
were found. This is no isolated occur
renee Of the kind, l having come across
the mention OF several in the course of
my adinR. The only oke whose date
can now fix is that recorded by Mu-
echenbIoek as occurring in 1875 The
matter is described by him rs being gela-
tinous and faliy, wh. cb sofiened when
held in his hand, and emitted an IN
pleasant smeu when exposed to the &C
ton OF ire. The Orunl or egg of the
Batrsckiau reptiles is round mass OF
nutriliVe jslIy, in the center Of which
appears a small black globule.
In the present case the passage through
the air would have dried I'D more or LEES
these geiatinous masses, so that the ex-
terior would become hard, and the in

Mrs. Belknsp said day or two ego

criminal or that she had done anything
particularly wrong; at least she did not
feel that she was committing a great sin
when she had used her Influence to get
her friends positions. "But," said she,
''if l have sinned others have doubly
sinned; il am guilty of crimes others
are guilty Of double crimes" She went

Others had been doing for yesn. She
was sure that many people in her place
would have done far worse than she
and used their influence to the fullest ex-

make no secret in their private conver-
