Maria was much struck with it, and
Pierre, VINO spent nearly all his time with
his mother, felt presentiment Of happy
auZury.
The night arrived--a night dark and
gloomy without breath OF wind, after a
day that had been very warm in this low
latitude Of AnJekirtta.
About half-past eight the patient, ac-
companied by Maria and Borik, left the
Stadthaus. The doctor, with Luigi and
Point Pescade, followed a few steps be-
hind.
The whole of the little colony was anxi-
Ousiy expectant of the success OF what
was going TO happen. A lew torches be-
meath the trees threw a fuliginous light
on the chapel and its surroundings. Afar
at regular intervals the bell in Artenak
church sounded funeral knel.
Pierre was the only one absent from
the procession which advanced slowly
towards the cemetery. But il he was not
there, 1t was because he was 10 appear
In the closing scene Of this final expert
ment.
1t was about o O'Clock when Madame
Bathory reached the cemetery. Sud
denly she shook herself free from Maria's
arm, and walked towards thelittle chapel.
She was allowed 10 do as she pleased
under the auspice of this new feeling
which seemed to have entire possession Of
her.
Amid profound silence, broken only
by the tolling OF the bell, Madame Bath
DRY stopped, and remained motlonless.
Then she knelt on the first step, and
bent down, and then they heard her
weep.
At this moment the railing of the chapel
slowly opened. Wrapped in a white
shrOud, as if he had risen from his grave,
Pierre appeared in the light.
MY son! My sonw exclaimed Madame
Batnory, who stretched out her arms and
fell senseless.
1t mattered little. Memory and thought
had returned TO her. The mother was
awakened! She had recognized her son !
The doctor soon revived her, and when
she had recovered Der consciousness, when
her eyes rested on her son
"Aliye! My Pierre! AliyeW she ex-
claimed.

And Madame Bathory took from her
pocket the crumpied letter which con-
tanned the last lines written by the hand
OF the dying Madame TorOnthal, and held
1t out to the doctor.
The letter left no doubt as to Sara's

hAps Formed by Volcanic Action.
OIL CITY, PA, Dec. 3O.-New theories
as to the origin OF petroleum and natural
gas are constantly arising, but no theOrist
can ignore the almost invariable presence
of salt water n gas and oil wells.
NJ. BerthelUt, the French chemist, ac-
tually manufactured crude petroleum,
and in the process noted the facts which
have been observed I'm connection with
tue developn mt OF petroleum in nature.
These were, principally, that salt water
in the form oil superheated steam, when
in contact with carbOnized iron, would
decOmpOse into its elements, or rather the
oxygen contained in it, pursuing the
laws Of chemical affinity, would unite
with the iron, while the carbon Of the
white-hOt iron passed of and united with
the hydrogen OF the water, forming oxide
Of iron on one hand and hydro-carbon gas
on the other.
Monsieur Berthelots experiments con-
stitute the origin Of natural gas and pc
trOleum, a theory allowing for the differ
ences in his / aris laboratory and the great
laboratory OF nature. Volcanic action is
attributed % steam generated from the
percOlation q water through the seams
and assures OF the earth's crust TO the
heated interior. Now, as the interior CT
the earth is believed to contain much car
bon, either In state OF purity or In alloy
with metals, such as iron, saltwater per-
colating through the crust from the ocean
beds and coming in contact with the
very hot mass must, OF course, be-
come superheated steam, and the
interchange n elements between 10 and
the carboniled metals becomes easy.

A man was sent up. and he found the
trouble to be with the chimney. Only
three or four days had passed when the
boy came in again and said:
"That stove is putting and blowing
and soaring the widow to death. She
wants the same man to come up again.
He was sent. and it was discovered that
she didn't know how to arrange the
hampers and draughts. Everything
seemed to run well for a week, and
then the boy walked i'm to announce:
''She sent me down to have YOU send
that man mp again. The house is full OF
coal gas"

stove got to putting; two days after tha
