Attention is called by the Coal 7rade
JougNal, i'm an elaborate article, to the
fact that the value of water as an aid to
blasting, when used i'm connection with
explosives. is rapidly becoming recog-
nized in this country, as well as in the
larger mines and quarries of Europe.
Among the favorable points pertaining
to this process special mention is made
of the fact that the powder in exploding
bursts the tube containing the water,
and-careful estimates showing with
increased power or explosive violence;
this is because the rending force is ex-
tended through the water, in accord
ance with certain well known princi-
pies of hydrostatics. over the enlarged
interior area of the bore hole, due to the
space occupied by the water tube. A
much larger quantity of the material to
be mined or quarried is thus brought
down or loosened with smaller guam
tity of the explosive used. Again, the
heat given off BY the burning Of the
powder and surrounding gases con-
verts larger proportion of the water
into steam, the elastic force of which
assists in the operation Of blasting, and
the steam and remaining water togeth.

is an innovation, destroyer of popular
notions, and to many it will doubtless
seem somewhat sacrilegious. The innovation
referred to is not in the use of colors or in the
devices of the artist to secure effect though the
Hungarian will undoubtedly find the artists and
CRITICS of America thrice armed in defense of
the rules and in opposition to the infringements
thereof it is in regard to the ideal OF Jesus The
greatest painters since the beginning of the
Christian era have agreed in certain respects in
the delneation of Jesus features. AS a conse-
quence people the world over have come to as
sociate with the of Christ certain ex-
preston of face, and certain attendant features
that they will miss unwillingly in Munkacsys
work. For although the 240 square feet of can
vas covered by Michaers brush contain score
or more of figures, and although each person in
the group has his individual place and meaning
in the general conception, it is the figure of Christ
that will command attention as the criterion of
genius, originality and artistic inspiration.
Munkacsy endeavors to portray him as
thinker, a revolutionist, if you VIII,
one Of the Incorporating agitators of pre-
gressive ideas. In sdoing this he gives the Sa-
viour a stern expression of face, a commanding
presence in which unvielding conviction, calm
but very determined, is more prominent than
the meekness and compassion we are accus-
toned to associate with him. Munkacsy also
discarGs the halo with which his predecessors
have always distinguished Christs head.
II prefer to paint Him in His aspect as man."
he explained; but my manager is of the ortho-
dox conventional way of thinking. He argues
that the halo is an essential feature in every
Christians imagination. He favors the intro
duction of one, and 1t has been proposed to en-
ploy electricity for that purpose. Tell me-do

tention and imagine that we meant to be theat-

New YORK, Nov. 27.-Theodore Stewart has
had on exhibition at his John street saloon for
six months past an oil painting of five-dollar
bill. 1t was painted on Stewards order by Will
lam NJ Harpett, the well-known artist The
picture has deceived bankers and experts by its
fidelity to detail, and by the accuracy of the
figures and of the signature upon it. Many be-
lieved it was FIVE dollar note pasted to the
board, although by order of Stewart, the artist
painted sections of it at SINE, exhibiting the
work in its successive stages of development.
This afternoon Special Agent Drummond, of
the Treasury Department, entered the place and
said he had come for the picture as it was a vio-
lation Of the law, under the Revised Statutes, to
print, engrave, photograph, or make in any way
a fac-simile of federal bank note He also
said that it would be necessary for him to send
the painting to Washington for the opinion of
the Secretary. Mr. Stewart acquiesced. The
picture is valued at 81 000 and is Que of the four
in existence. the others being owned in Phila-
dephia and Brooklyn.

A NUNS MARRIAGE.
A Beautiful and Wealthy Girl Renounces the
Veil of Recluse for that of Bride.

OTTAWA, N ov. 27.-In 1883, Emily Lacome,
member of most respected family in Maryland,
entered the Ottawa Ladies' College to complete
her education She was then eighteen, and a
girl of marvellous beauty. Just before her grad
uation her parents both died, leaving their
daughter $780, 200. In her grief she entered the
Convent of the Black Nuns at Tennis Comique,
Quebec, taking the name of Sister Williamine.
While in College she met Henri Lapierre, stu
dent in another Catholic college, and received
some attention from him. This attachment
never died out On two occasions last summer
she met young Lapierre. What passed between
them is not known.
The first information the Sister Superior had
that her young sister wished to reenter the
world was when the archbishop there placed
in her hands an application which had been
made to the Pope direct by Sister Willamne
and Mr.. Lapierre, asking that an order might be
made that they be permitted to marry This
was refused. Last week Sister Williamine was
missing, and search revealed the fact that she
left the convent during the evening, threw aside
her adopted garb, and in modest white silk,
provided by the groom. was married to Lapierre
by priest of the neighborhood. Mrs. Lapierre
is now suing the convent for the 5000 900 which
she voluntarily gave up when she left the world
for religious life.

THE ROMANCE OF A SKELETON.
The Discovery of Bones at North Andover Re-
wives an Old Love Story.

Lawrence, Mass, Special.
Yesterday, while excavating in bank in
North Andover, T. B. Bailey unearthed large
skull, and soon after an entire skeleton was dug
up. At first Mr.. Bailey supposed the bones to
be those of an Indian, but he soon found that the
skull was different in contour and had none of
the Indian characteristics. A small round hole
about the size of bullet hole was found in the
back of the skull little to one side, and the
theory was advanced that the man whose skele-
ton mad reposed so long in the earth had oeen
the victim of murder. Many people came to
see the skeleton, aud none of them remembered
any mysterious disappearance, until it occurred
to one of the old residents in that vicinity that
some years ago young farmer who worked on
the Granger place. across the Shawsheen, mys-
teriously disappeared. He was man of good
habits. and his disappearance caused much con-
lecture.
When discovered the skeleton was covered by
twenty inches of soft sand; and no wearing ap-
parel was found, or anything by which it might
be identified The skeleton was in a state of
perfect preservation, and is now in charge of
the authorities of North Andover So long ago
was the supposed tragedy enacted that no one
remembers the name of the young farmer, but
those who tell the story say that Willard Rob
bins in whose employ he was, had beautiful
daughter Of whom he was very proud, and that
the farm hand fell IN love with her. She re-
cprocated his passion. and the stern father was
very angry and forbade their attentions to each
other. Soon after the murder Robbins and his
daughter left the vicinity.

MIR. ARTHUR's PHYSICIAN.
A Talk with the Doctor Who Attended the
Ex-President in His Illness.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, Nov. 27--Dr George A. Peters,
of u West Twenty ninth street, New York, was
OK President Arthur's physician. During the
last illness of the ex President he constantly re-
fused to give any information to the press, but
now that his distinguished patient is dead he
feels more free to speak. The other day he said
to me in answer to inquiries:
"Ex- President Arthur's death was caused by
Brights disease of the kidneys, and an enlarged
and fatty heart due tofatty degeneration. The
condition which affected the heart also, more or
less, prevailed in the blood vessels. and finally
one of those in the brain was ruptured and clot
DEATH If this had not happened the patient
would have been liable to die from cessation of
the hearts action owing to its feeble condition"
do you think that the exciting events through
which General Arthur attained the Presidency
and the subsequent worry of carrying ON the
government under peculiarly trying circumstan-
ces had anything to do with breaking down his
constitution
mo, no. not bit Of it. He lived about as
long as he could have lived under any circum-
stances If be had not been kept very quiet he
would have died long before"
"Why did you refuse to talk about your pa
TENTS condition till after his death2'
THAT is precisely what was abiding to. If
those who knew of General Arthurs condition
had given information to the press there would
have been the same hue and cry, the same ring
ing of tao door bell hundreds of times in the day,
the same interviewing of the servants and rela-
tvss as there Was the case OF General Grant.

MUNKACsY's GREAT PICTURE.

A Painting That Destroys Popular Ideas, and
Which viii Strike Many as Sacrilegious.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-"When I wanted to
play Jesus they wouldn't let me. and now look
at THAR The speaker did not intend the
slightest impiety, or even triviality. On the
contrary, he was in reverent earnest. He was
James O'Neill, the actor, and what he meant
was that several years ago he had been pre-
vented by law from enacting the role of the
Savior in passion play, while now he stood
gazing at a theatrical representation of Christ
before PLATE. 1t was in the very same theater,
too, where Saint Morse spent $70.0 600 in prepar-
ing the divine tragedy for performance, but was
at last stopped in his enterprise. 1t is true
that the personages in the present scene were
merely painted, for it was Michael Munkacsy's
painting that was on exhibition; but the big
picture was set in the proscenium opening,
which it filled; the figures were life size; they
were illuminated by foot and border lights,
stage fashion, the spectators sat like an audi
ence in front, and the whole was startlingly like
dramatic representation No wonder that
O'Neill, who had been forbidden to act the part
of Christ in play on that same spot, should
regard the Munkacsy show as uniustly priv
ileged.

called his theater, was engaged by the Rev. A.
B. Simpson for regular Sunday services The

Michael of Munkacs crossed the seasick billow
and called upon the people of the metropolis

wrestled with classic freedom, and the result
was clear fall to the credit of propriety. After
two or three performances the tights got
