THE WOUND or ROBESPIERRE
From The IOHdO1 Globe.

From The IOHdOn Gi0Oe.
Almost all historians of the French Revolu ton
have represented the famous wound OF Robespierre

he aimed at his own head broke the iawbone, and
thus made IL impossible for him to speak. NJ.
Theirs, however. makes lighter of the wound. and
III his account of the scene at the Hotel de Vile
says, kobespierre drew pistol upon himself but
he ball. striking beneath the lip only pierced the
cheek and inflicted u severe. though no dangerous
wound" This version is now in process of being
altogether upset by account of the circumstances
given in the pages OF La France; This journal re-
or MERIDA, afterward colonel in the army and a
support the story contained in it, The gendarme
says:
81 knew the elder Robesperre; he sitting in
IN arm char-this in the hall of the Hotel de
IIe having his elbows on his knees and his head
leaning on his left hand. made rush at him, and
presenting my sword to his heart, said to him.
Yield, traitor He raised his head and answered
III ~ you who are traitor, and will have you
shot AT these words | took one of my pistols in
my left hand, and stepping one pace aside, fired at
MN intended to hit him in the heart but the
ball struck his chin and broke bis left jaw" This
story is confirmed by IN engraving of the period,
representing Media in the act of discharging his
pistol, and by the fact that Media shortly after
ward presented to the Convention and warmly COM
plimented by the President upon having committed
this assault The other story is supposed to rest
chiefly on the aut hority of Barras, aud it has prob
ably no such solid grounds to back it as the tale of
the gendarme, who is admitted by NJ. Theirs to have
been one of those who first broke in upon the con-
spirators at the Hotel do Vile.

COMETS AND THEIR TAILS.

Mr.. w. Mattieu Williams author of "The
Fuel OF the SUM- discusses in The Gentiemdn's
Mdgdsinc the nature and origin of comets tails.
He believes the tails to be electrical. "A
body" he says, "rushing round the sun in
charged with electricity. A body in such condi-
ton VIII throw out luminous discharges, prefer
ably III II direction opposite to that from which its
eAcltatlon Is received provided it can find their
particles or media in Il condition favorable for
their reception. Thus think it very probable
That the tail OF Il comet is such discharge from
the intensely excited and consequently dis
turbed nucleus" Why comets sometimes have
tails and sometimes not depends on Williamss
theory upon the abundance or scarcity of
meteoric matter or cosmic dust surrounding the
sun. AS our solar SYSTEM argues Mr. Will
liams, ais travelling bodily through space mt
the rate of about 100000 miles per day, we
encounter regions that vary rs regards the me-
teorc matter they contain and the temperature
they have acquired from the perennial radia-
tons OF the countless suns of the universe.
Such regions afford variable supplies of solar
fuel, and wherever the supply exceeds the
average, conditions more favorable for the ex-
tensions of the tails of comets are presented.
III this Is the case, comet otherwise telescope
or barely visible like Haleys in 1885, may
become flaming visitor, like llalley's was be-
fore, or resemble those that startled the world
III 1911, 1S43, 1859, and in n less degree this
year. Thus the flaming long tailed comet, the
hot weather, and the comet vintages' may
occur together, not rs cause and effects, but rs
colncldent effects OF one common cause

INHERITED DEFORMJTJES

In an article in Nature on Inheritance" Mr.
Darwin cites curious case where even physi-
cal injuries IN parent were transmitted to the
children for two generations. Mr. Darwin
says: Mr. Bishop has given me case of in
heritance of popularity which arose, as it
appears, from an injury, accompanied by n dis
cased state of the part. This latter fact seems
to be an important element in all such cases A
gentleman, when boy, had the skin of both
thumbs badly cracked from exposure To cold,
combined with some skin disease His thumbs
sweled greatly, and remained in this state
for long time. When they healed they were
misshapen, and the nails ever aftcrward were
slngulary narrow, short and thick. This gen
tleman had four children. of whom The eldest
Sarah, had both her thumbs and nails like her
fathers; the third child, also daughter, had
one thumb similarly deformed. The two
other children, Il boy and GIRL were normal
i he daughter, Sarah, had four children of
whom the eldest and the third, both daughters,
had their two thumbs deformcd the other two
children a boy and girl, were normal. The
great grandchildren of this gentleman were all
normal Mr. Bishop believes that the old gen
tleman was correct in attrbuting the state of
his thumbs to cold aided by skin disease as he
positively asserted that his thumbs were not
originally misshapcn, and there was no record
OF any previous Inherited tendency of the kind
III his family. lie had six brothers and sisters
who lived to have families, some of them very
large families, and in none was there any trace
OF deformity i'll their thumbs.
