SHELLEYS DEA TN.

1t will be remembered that shorl
time ago a story was put in circula
tion to the effect that an old sailor, dy
ing, had confessed that the drowning
Of the poet Shelley was due TO pirates
of whom the sailor was one-whe
attacked the boat in which Shelley was
under the impression that the wealthy
English "milord'' Byron was in IL. A
captain in the Italian navy, who is re.
siding at Spezzia, has investigated the
story, and finds it to have had no basis
in truth. The captain has sifted the
reports current in Spezzia, and inter.
rogated the civil and ecclesiastical au-
thorities, and asserts that no one in
the town knows anything whatever
about the old sailor or the strange CON
fession he is said TO have made on his
death-bed. The captain continues {.
"But for Miss Trclawney, we should
never have heard of this extraordinary
event, or its fantastic details. People
here feel sure that the whole is a mys-
tification practised on some poetic i'm
agination excited by Dlsraeli's 'vene-
tia, and put il down to some wag of a
sailor who had known and served the
ilustrious but restless English poets
One in particular is mentioned, who is
very clever at retailing fables on sub
ject that interests English people, and
who has pretty well made business
of it. Ii would be wronging our priests
to suppose them capable Of betraying
the secrets of the confessional. One OF
two hypothesis is possible; either the
confession was made with view to
reparation, under the pressure of re-
morse, and il was the priests duty to
give il all possible publicity and to
make a deposition before the courts
or II was a case Of n penitent who
wanted to confess all his sins in order
to present himself unstained before the
throne of God and you may know as
well as do, sir, that no priest, with
out compromising his authority and
position, would betray the secrets of
the confessional. This remark has
been made to me in various forms by
all the civil authorities and the priests
to whom have spoken, and till | learn
to the contrary, | shall feel convinced
that Miss Trclawney has been deceiv-
ed. Let her give us the name of the
person who supplied her with the ncws
and on the part Of the authorities |
can promise that no search, or pains
will be spared to establish the histori-
cal truth of the story which has cxcit-
cd the curiosity of the English public"

BEING UTILIzED,-The siftings and
small coal at the mouth of coal pits
and coal yards have now, owing to the
enhanced cost Of fuel, a positive com.
mcrcial value, being more and more
largely used for making patent OF
artificial fuel The method most gcn-
orally in vogue is TO mingle IL with
some adhesive and oombustiblc sub.
stance, like bitumen, pitch, tar or rosin,
and then mould il into cakes by press
ure, In Belgium, where this industry
has attained great success and impor-
tancc, the coal dust is agglomerated
into blocks by adding eight or ten per
cent. Of coal tar and some hundreds OF
thousands of tons are used annually for
heating locomotives. These blocks are
very nearly Of the same density and
weight as solid coal, and burn without
presenting any obstacle to the circula-
tion Of air through the CRATE. IL was
nearly twenty years ago that the ad-
vantagcs were pointed out of blowing
coal dust into chamber lined with fire
brick, 30 that il might be il sRiitcd on
coming in contact with red hot furn.
aces, alter having been mingled with
the quantity of air necessary for com.
bustion. Many OF the large manufac-
tories in the United States have for
some time past used pulvcrizcd fuel for
furnaces and boilers. Coal dust has
also otter uses; among these may be
mentioned its employment in foundries
for moulds, and It's use as building
material'mixed with one.sixth part Of
cement.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE.

Darwin sums up the results of his
researches on this subject in the fol
lowing paragraph:
Even If no single fact has been
known with respect to the inheritance
OF diseases and malformations by man,
the evidence would have been com
plete in the case OF the horse, and this
might bave been expected, as horses
breed quicker than man, are matched
with care and highly valued. | have
consulted many works, and tho una
nimity of belief by veterinarians of all
nations, in the Transmission of various
morbid tendencies, is surprising. Au.
thors who have had wide experience,
give in detail many singular cases, and
assert that contracted feet, with the
numerous contingent evils Of ring.
bones, curbs, splints, SPAWN and weak.
ness of the front legs, broken and thick
wind, mclanosis, specific orphtbalmia,
and blindness, (the great French vet
crinarian, Hugard, going so far as to
say that a blind race could soon be
iormed,) cribbing and jibbing, and i'll
tcmpcr--are all plainly hereditary.
Youatt sums up by saying that "thcrc
is scarcely malady to which the
horse is subject that is not hereditary
and Mr.. Hugard adds that the doc
trine "that there is scarcely disease
that does not run In the stock, is gain
ing new advocates every day Fmay
add TO these facts, established by such
weight of concurrent testimony, what
| have before remarked in general,
namely, that IL is not the actual all.
mcnts, such as contracted feet, ring
bones, curbs, splints and SPAWN, but
the predisposing causes that are transi
mitted. The disposing of parts, the
imperfect shape and size or the faulty
texture Of any tendon, bone, or muscle
most favorable TO particular disease,
are transmitted from sire to son. The
same may be said of those disorders
that affect the internal organs or the
whole body. The abnormal condition
OF the blood, and not the scrofulous
symptoms IL produces, is hereditary.
The weakness in some Of the muscles
Of the larynx that cause roaring, has
hereditary tendency. The narrowloins
and fiat sides that give pronencss to
attacks of diarrh9a and collie, belong
to certain lineage. This constant ton
dency Of morbid condition or defective
organs to rcappcar in the line, shows
how important II is that horses select
cd for breeding shouldsbc sound in
wind, limb and condition. Progressive

THE LEGAL TUS OF MAR
RIED WOMEN IN PENN'A.

In recent number of the Penn
Monthly Is a clear and able article on
this very. interesting and we may say
important subject, the gist OF which is
in the following summing up;
"A married woman is entitled to
maintenance by her husband during
his lifetime right which she may
enforce (ii he neglect or refuse to pro
vide for herself and cbildrcn) by
making contracts for ncccssaries, for
which he will be liable. Upon his
death, she is entitled TO common law
dover in real estate, after the payment
of all his debts if he die intestate, she
may have statutory dover, viz: One
third Of the real estate, of which he
died seized, for life, aud one.third of
the personal estate absolutely, in case
he leave children, il not one-hdb Of the
personal estate; or, in case he has left
a will, she may elect between taking
the legacy therein contained or the
rights given her under thcstatute, and
in addition $500 of his estate for the
support of herself and her children is
exempted from the sale for the pay.
ment of his debts. 4s
" In her own property, she is enti.
tied TO the free use and enjoyment
along with her husband, and holds il
free from any liability for his debts ;
she Is also entitled to her separate earn.
ings when her intention TO claim them
is filed of record. Her property may
be liable for a judgment recovered
against him for her torts, or on judg-
mcnt against both on Contract for
necessarics entered into by herself
alone, if the husband has nothing on
which execution may be had, and Il is
always liable for contracts entered into
by her before marriage. BY trust
for her separate use either real or
personal may be so settled that she
shall receive the income, but neither
she nor her husband can have any con.
troll of the corpus of the estate, nor
shall II be liable for any of his debts or
engagements. But such trust must
he made during covcrture or in imme-
date contemplation of marriage, and
cannot survive a discoverturc. We
also find that the contracts ofa married
woman and any agreement to bind her
separate without her husbands consent
arc absolutely void except in certain
cases. These are, contracts for the re-
pair orimprovcment of her real estate,
transfers OF stock ofnilfoad companies
or corporations created under the laws
Of this State, checks and receipts TO
banks for money on deposit with them,
and contracts for the purchase of sew
ing machines. In case of her husband
neglccting or refusing TO provide for
her, she may become femesole trader,
md thereby contract as though she
were unmarried" ~.

dyl Trinity chimes are, perhaps, next
to those Of Christ Church, Philadelphia,
the oldest in this country. But strange
to say, almost nothing is known of
their history Even Mr.. Ayliffc, the
accomplished cariiloner, who has rung
the changes on them for nearly twenty
years, can tell but little about them.
The church wardens and Rector of
Trinity parish confess TO almost total
Ignorance on the subject. From vari-
GUS sources, added to the Inscriptions
on the bells, have learned that five
OF the bells were cast in London by
Mears prior TO 1916 As the second
Trinity Church was built with a hand
some steeple in 1888, it is more than
probable that at least one of the bells
came over from England about that
time. AT any rate, when, in 1916, the
church cdifice was taken down to make
way for the present beautiful structure,
there were six bells in the steeple. The
largest of these was cracked, and so il
was sent to Meneeley, in Troy, to be
recast and at the same time four more
were ordered to complete the chime.
The largest bell weighs 3,0sl pounds,
and the smallest 700, The ten bells
have an aggregate weight of about
5000 pounds They are hung in n
framework of wood so heavy as to
ieaden the sound to a great extent
md the vestry are now celebrating as

mounted and rebung. AS they are

constant striking of the clappers in
