IN A HAUNTED HOUSE.
Rosina Nokes' Story of Her Famiiy's IsoIa-
tion In Crowded London.

s--
In everyday talk Rosina Volles was
altogether and bewitchingly the Rosina
we knew across the footlights-the same
big, honest eyes, the same drolly stac-
cato speech, the same tossing of that
fluffy mane of shining hair, and the mat
ter of her speech was quite as flavorsome
as any lines her playwrights ever set
down for her speaking. 1t is pity she
never told across the footlights for all
the world to hear the story she once told
to u favored few. The Yoles family, she
said, had returned 10 London from n
provincial tour, and intending to remain
for the season decided to hire house in
preference TO taking lodgings. They
looked upon it as miraculous luck to find
house III an eminently agreeable neigh
borhood at II phenomenally low rent.
They soon found out tho reason. A par
ticularly shocking murder had been
committed i'll the house few years be-
fore, and since then it had stood unten-
anted, its evil reputation intensifying
with every night its dark windows
gloomed upon the else cheerful street.
but it was u lovely, comfortable
house." said Rosina, land we didn't
mind its story n bit--in fact we thought
it rather distinguished than otherwise
and, as for spooks, we'd all played 'em
too often iii Christmas pantomimes to
hold 'em in any especial awe, Besides
we never saw any-nothing, give you
my word, more fearsome than u black
beetle ever crossed our paths in that ma
ligned house. But for all that u more
uncomfortable three months our happy
go lucky family never spent. The neigh
bors gave the house bad name and
hanged it. They took the attitude that
any one willing to live in q murder
stained house was simply an accessory
after the fact. My dears, never shall
forget the first morning called on the
local butcher with plea for chops
Send them TO 343 - street, piped l
cheerily. The butcher turned duskily
pale He edged behind his block. He
glowered at me over it, Three forty
three, you said, mum?' he gasped. Man
alive, yes' said l. we live there, and
we're not ghosts, or we shouldn't need
chopsp
well, the long and short of it was
we could get nothing sent that wasn't
ordered at high noon, and then the
butchers boy had way of firing up the
things from the bottom Of the steps
didn t want to come within grabbing dis
tance of the door apparently. That was
hard on the provisions, especially the
eggs. No mill1man would deliver milk
in the gray of the morning, not he! We
had subsequently to bring it home in a
can. When the water pipes burst, we had
to sop 'em up with our stockings, while
the boys secured London for plumber
rash enough to cross our fated threshold.
We lived like Robinson Crusoes on a
densely populated island. 1t was borne
in upon us at last that it was pity so
much wholesome terror should go to
waste So the last few days of our stay
there we took to burning blue lights
at midnight in the area window and
emitting hollow groans from the front
cellar. l fancy our landlord reaped the
results of this light minded conduct We
never inquired "--Boston Transcript

A New Grave in Arlington.

Among the soldiers graves in Airing
ton cemetery new mound has been
made with woman's name on the slab
at the head. The woman who sleeps be-
meath was buried like warrior, with
the stars and stripes for u winding sheet.
At the battle of Fort Donelson, when
the regiment under Captain Cutler were
fighting without their colors, the cap
tain's wife suddenly rushed through the
smoke with the flag in one hand and a
sword in the other
AS the rain of lead thickened, and she
was ordered to retire to a transport on
the river, she raised the stars and stripes
again and remained in the pilothouse in
defiance of the captains orders. Since
the war Mrs. Cutler has devoted her life
to the care of veterans and their fami.

DAYS BLAZING OR5.
Sir Robert Ball on the Substances of whth
the sun Is Made.

| the sun Is Made.
Let us see if we have the necessary
data for ascertaining what this solar M
terial must be- We are first confronted
with the fundamental question as to
whether it is likely to be composed of
elements found ON the earth. There was
time no doubt when it might hare
been urged that in all probability tle
solar elements were SO far different from
any bodies known to terrestrial chemists
that the solar clouds must be constituted
of something altogether beyond our cog
nizance. But this view cannot be sus-
tanned i'll the present state of science.
Nothing is more remarkable in the re-
cent advance of knowledge than the
clear demonstration of the fundamental
unity between the elements present in
the celestial bodies and those elements
of which the earth is composed. 1t is nc
doubt true that we have found grounds
for believing that there may be one OF
two elements in the sun which we do not
find here.
We have indeed assigned to these
dimly discerned elements the hypothet-
ical names of coronium and helium.
But even if such bodies exist at all they
are certainly wanting in the essential
qualities that must be attributed to any
element which purports to be the active
component of the photospheric clouds
There cannot be reasonable doubt that
the sun is mainly composed of elements
both well known and abundant on the
earth 1t is clearly among these known
bodies that it is our duty to search for
the characteristic photospheric material
AS the terrestrial clouds consist of
water they are derived not from sim
pie element, but from composite body
formed of the gases-oXygen and hydro
gen. The multitude of composite bodies
is, of course, innumerable, and the task
of searching for the solar constituents
would therefore seem to be an endless
one, unless we were in some way en-
abled to restrict the field of inquiry.
This is just what the vast temperature
Of the sun permits us to do. 1t is well
known that at heat resembling that at
NhiNi viz Piio'oSlNiNiS 10
chemical compounds cannot i'll general
exist. Ordinary chemical compounds ex-
posed to temperatures of such elevation
are instantly resolved into their elemen-
tary components. 1t is thus manifest
that i'll the endeayor to find the photo
spheric material we have not to scan the
illimitable field of chemical compounds.
We have only to consider the several
elementary bodies themselves.
Thus at once the research is narrowed
to choice among some GA different ma
terials, this being about the number Of
the different elementary bodies. Most OF
them have already been actually de-
tected in the sun, and it is very likely
that the others do really exist there also
in some part or other Of the sun s mighty
volume. Sir Robert Ball in Fortnight
ly Review

The probability that vehicles driven
by steam would be the future means of
transportation on land was very well
foreseen 20 years before the last century
closed by Oliver Evans of Philadelphia,
the inventor of the high pressure steam
engine. AS early as 1856 he petitioned
the legislature of Pennsylvania for the
exclusive right to use his inventions for
road wagons to be propelled by steam.
The word locomotive had not then come
into use. This privilege was denied, but
the Maryland legislature granted the
right for IA years. There appeared at
one time good prospects of Evans obtain
ing the necessary financial support to
apply his steam engine to the propulsion
of boats and road wagons, but some
cautious capitalist of that day deter
mined to have B. Fl. Latrobe, an accom-
plished architect and engineer, report
upon the schemes that Evans was advo-
eating. Latrobe reported strongly
against the steam engine, saying that
the inventor was visionary. This re-
port ruined Evans career and deprived
America of the benefits of the steam en-
gine i'll transportation for two genera
tions longer.
By curious irony Of fate the son of
this same Latrobe performed important
engineering services in building the Bal
timore and Ohio, the first railroad in
this country where steam engine was
used successfully. Locomotive Engi-
neering.

thing to have this long standing contro-
versy settled at ofoe apd forever"
Ever since the adoption of the electrical
execution act by the state the Westing-
house people, whole dynamos are used,
have declared that electricity was not the
cause Of death, but that death resulted
from the holding Of an autopsy after the
body had been taken from the electrical
chair. No less authority than Nicola
Tesla, the famous electrician, contended
that he could bring back to life man
supposed to be killed in an electrical chair,
provided the attempt was made immedi-
ately after execution.
Mr.. George Westinghouse has always
asserted electrical death was q sham, and
that New York commission, headed by
Elbridge T. Gerry, had added the autopsy
clause to the law to make it certain that
the man was dead Within the last few
weeks the agitation of the subject has
again become prominent, and an appeal is
to be made to the governor to allow the
next man committed to death as subject
to be experimental on.
The attempt, If made, will undoubtedly
create great excitement and interest in
the scientific world. 1t will also arouse
curiosity among laymen, because If sue
cessful 1t will bring to life new man who
can not be again executed, having once
suffered the penalty of death. 1t will also
prove that the state executioners have been
the surgeons who have held the autopsy,
rather than the state electrician.
