ENGLISH CHIMNEY SHAFTS.
No Evidence of Their Use Prior to
the Twelfth Century.

There does not appear to be any evidence
of the use of chimney-shafts in England
prior to the twelfth century. In Rochester
Castle, which is in all probability the work
of W. Corbyle, about 1130, there are COM
plete fireplaces with semi-circular backs, and
a shaft in each joint supporting a semi
circular arch over the opening, which is en-
riched with zigzag moulding; some of
these project slightly from the wall; the
hues however, go only few feet up in the
thickness of the wall. and are then turned at
the back, the apertures being small oblong
holes. AT Castle Hedingham, Essex, which
is about the same date, there are ireplaces
and chimneys of similar kind
A few years later the improvement of
carrying the fue up throught the whole
height of the wall appears as at Christ
Church, Hants; the keep at Newcastle; Sher
borne Castle, Dorsetshire Conisborough
Castle, Yorkshire, and Boothby Pagnell,
Lincolnshire The early chimney shafts are
of considerable height, and circular; after
ward they assumed great variety of forms,
and during the fourteenth century they are
frequently extremely short.
Previous to the sixteenth century the shaft
is often short, and not infrequently termin-
ated by spire or pinnacle, usually of rather
low proportions, having apertures of vari-
GUS forms, under and sometimes in it, for
the escape of the smoke. There are also
taller shafts of various forms, square, oc-
tagonal or circular, surmounted by cor
nice, forming sort of capital, the smoke
itsuing from the top Clustered chimney
shafts do not appear until late in the fif-
teenth century; afterward they became very
common and were frequently highly orna-
mented. especially when of brick.-A1'clli-

zoLA AND BRITISH MORALITY.

It was generally considered as a joke on
British morality that after Henry Vizitelly,
the British publisher of Zola's novels, had
been sent to jail for printing them, Zola him
self should have been invited to London and
lienized.. To be sure, the people who inn
prisoned the publisher were not the identical
individual who lionized the author still it
was something of joke on the English. not
withstanding, and the point of it has been
recently accentuated by the death of Viz
itelly. He was seventy years old when he
was sent to Hollywood Jail, and imprison-
ment did not agree with him. for he has been
in feeble health ever since he came out. His
books were confiscated and his business
ruined. and no doubt that disagreed with
him too And, after all, his punishment
was a vain measure, since it failed conspicu-
ously to establish the principle that Zola's
books are sinful reading for British subjects.
The American idea seems to be that Zola's
novels are nasty enough to be their own
protection, and that it is as unnecessary to
prohibit them as to enact game laws for the
preservation of crows and buzzards. Natur-
alists will shoot buzzards in the practice of
their profession, and naturalists and persons
strongly bent on acquiring curious knowl-
edge will read Zola's novels, and, worse than
that, win go to see Ibsens plays. But sensi-
BILE Americans are hardly likely to do either
one, except under an impulse Of strong
sense of obligation to know the worst. I'd

sketch of Her Career.

New YORK. Jan. 80, 1S94.-Rosina Vokes
came of an English family of actors that had
been identified with the stage for several
generations She began her theatrical
career at such an early age that almost
every one who has followed theatricals for
many years will be surprised to know that
she was not past forty years old.
Rosina made her debut in pantomime at
the Drury Lane Theatre in London with her
brothers and sisters when she was barely six
years old. She appeared with other mem
be1's of her family in farce pantomime and
extravaganza for several years in London
and English provincial theatres.
Rosina Vokes came to America for the
first tire at the head of her own company
nine years ago This was shortly after she
had become the wife of Mr. Cecil Clay. She
gave entertainments consisting of short
plays of comic nature.
Her manager at that time was John Stet-
son. of Boston, but she soon terminated her
business relations with him. and the mana
erial direction of her tour was undertaken
BY her husband, Mr. Clay, aud Mr.. D. b.
Wilson
She became very popular whenever she ap-
peared in the United States, and she liked
America so well that she devoted most of her
time to touring the country, appearing each
season at some metropolitan theatre in this
city.
She was celebrated among members of her
profession for her good nature and gener
osity, and many actors and actresses have
good reason to remember her kindness.
She closed her season at Washington on
December 9, on account of i'll health, and
the company disbanded

ARLINGTON CEMETERY.

The annual meeting of Arlington Gene
terry Association was held today for the
election of two members of the
Board of Trustees. Charles H. Dim
mer and Charles c. Jewell were
unanimously reelected to succeed them
selves. The Trustees reported that the busi-
ness of the past year had been carried on
under great disadvantages, owing to the
wrecking of the bridge over the Hackensack
at West Newark avenue in April, and the
subsequent construction of a new iron
bridge in its place. The direct line of
travel from Jersey City to the cemetery was
thus closed for more than eight months
and all funerals were obliged to travel near
" double distance via the Plank road and
Newark. There are now more than HOO
owners of lots and graves.

TwENTY-sIX LIVES LOST.
Terrible Experience of Bark In
Brandon Bay.
By Gable to the United Pr


LONDON, Jan. 90, 1s94-Twenty-six lives
have been lost by the wrecking of the British
bark Port Yarrock, Capt. Forbes, from
Santa Rosalia July for Antwerp, which
some days ago put into Brandon Bay, County
Kerry Ireland, in disabled condition,
and which yesterday during gale
dragged her anchors and went ashore. A
verv heavy sea was running in the bay
and when the bark struck the surf made a
clean breach over her. 1t was reported
that the captain and six of the crew
were i'll, and this made the vessel short
handed Nineteen men, however, were fit
for duty, and some surprise is expressed
among seafaring men that apparently no
attempt was made to clew off shore when it
was seen that the anchors would not hold
At any rate the vessel was helpless, and took
ground on a sandy bottom over six miles
from where she had been anchored.
The bark struck almost broadside on, and
the surf pounded her with terrific violence.
AS the tide rose the surf became stronger
and soon the sea was sweeping over the decks
of the bark Her matches were evidently
battened down and the companionways
closed, for there were no signs of her filling.
1t was impossible owing to the position
of the stranded vessel, for any assistance to
reach her, and in a short time she began to
break up. First her three masts went by
the board, and the wreckage floating along
side caused the hull to heel over at sharp
angle, thus affording better mark for the
sea that was growing stronger and stronger.
Soon butts and seams on the weather side be-
gan to open and in short time the vessel
began to break up.
Some of those on board the bark attempted
to reach shore by means of planks OF spars,
but they were swept off and disappeared al
most as soon as they left the vessel. Not a
nerSOn ON the bark was saved.

WORCESTER, Mass, JAN 80, 1S94.-The
Curtis Manufacturing Company of New
Worcester, which closed both its woollen
and satinette mills last August, started up,
the latter mill on full time today. The
mills were closed because there was no mar
ket for the output. The satinette mill Is
not to be started because the firm thinks
there is any material Improvement IN the
outlook, but partially as an experiment.
The company has few orders which they
will fill, and, if trade warrants it, they will
continue, if not they win shut down again.
The satinette mill employs about eighty
hands, all of whom will be working by the
last of the week.
SAxoNvILLE, Mass, Jan. 90, 1894.-The
