DR.. Clarke Robinson delivered an
eloquent and highly interesting lecture
last aight. The subject was Percy B.
Shelley. Shelley is not poet of the
people and is certainly less known and
understood than any Of the other five
who comprise the course. The lecture
was in some sense revelation to the
hearers. They were told that Shelley
was the highest and most idealistic
mind that ever lived, and that it re-
quires sixth sense to properly
appreciate him. He is poet of
the future He had the true poetic
intuition Some of bis visions seem
yet worse than idle dreams but time
will surely prove the trueness of
his sight. At the conclusion OF the
lecture Prof. Robinson showed what
poetro has done for the human race.
he considers poetic intuition one Of
the strongest secular proofs Of life
beyond the grave.

Surgeons Claim That the Insanity Theory is Up
held BY the Autopsy.
An autopsy was performed at London
Park Cemetery, Baltimore, Saturday
upon the brain and spinal cord of How
ard Schneider, who was hanged in
Washington Friday for the murder of
his wife and her brother, by Dr. Irving
G. Ross, professor of nervous diseases
at the Georgetown University, and DIR.
Blackburn, patnologist at the govern
ment hospital for the insane. The ,au-
topsy revealed. in these experts opinion,
sufficient evidence of degeneration and
disease to show that the murderer was
insane at the time of his execution.
The Schneider case has excited keen
interest in medico- legal circles. Arti-
cles will appear in leading journals de-
voted to medical jurisprudence discuss
ing his sanity, both at the time of the
murder and of execution.

What has been Predicted Of the Coming Wheather
ofl993.
Within few days of the end of win
ter there is curiosity always to known
precisely what will be the phases of
spring when it arrives The weather,
for what remains of Magsh, will be, on
the 22d, changeable; 23d, oath and
25th, pleasant; 26th and 9th, rain;
2Sth, Doth, 3oth and 31th, pleasant,
April will be dry month, according
the Centennial almanac, until its 25th,
after which it will be uprecedent-
eddy cold, to be prepared for which
.people and especially those of weak
constitutions. should not be in a hurry
to change their thick undergarments
for others of lighter weight, and as
May is forecast to have cold days in its
commeneement this precaution will be
all the more necessary. 1t is feared
by horticulturists that forecasts of this
cold if realized may have destructive
effects on fruit, then in its bud. There
are no assurances that spring will con-
tain weather phases calculated to help
fruit in its growth during that season.
while the effect ON the grass may be
hurtful. Summer, accoring to the
authority which we quote, is to have a
large amount of rainfall, but the fear
is that the earth will not be proitably
refreshed by it and the advice is not
to delay the making of hay or the har-
vesting of grain.

AMMONIA AS A MOTOR POWER.
It is Expected to Replace Both Steam and RloOtri-

1t is Expected to Replace Both Steam and Rleotri-
oity-A Trial Trip.
The motor car of the Railway Am
monia Company made trial trip last
week along Twenty-eighth street from
Sixth avenue to Eighth avenue, New
York Secretary Henry Graham
handled the brakes. 1t was evident
that the car was capable of high
rate of speek, but it wasn't run rapid
" because the street was crowded with
children. The trip was satisfactory.
Those who witnessed it declared that
the motive power would take the place
of electricity and steam, The general
opinion is that it will be introduced on
the a." on account of there being no
steam and cinders.
The motor car can be run for seven
and half cents mile, while it costs
from 20 to % cents for horse car,
and from 10 to q for an electric car
The company is constructing an en-
CINE which will run twenty-five miles
an hour.
The gas from anhydrous ammonia
furnishes the power for the motor.
With this system a stationary plant is
required to separate the ammonia from
the aqueous solution. The aqueous
ammonia consists of 70 per cent. of
water and 80 per cent of ammonia. II

On Monday evening. shortly before
seven o'clock the large barn on the
farm of Mr.. Jno. I. Paulding, A,bout
four miles northwest Of this city and
adjoining the farm of Mr. Henry Van
metre, was found to be on fire. A
desperate attempt was made to rescue
two horses which were stabbed in the
burning building but the effort was un-
successful as the fire gained such rapid
Roadway that it was impossible to
reach them. The flames leaped to n
remarkable height and it was only a
matter of few minutes until the re-
naming farm buildings fell an easy
prey to the SETTLING flames.
