HEREDITARY CRIME.

Mary Logue, the terrified wife Of a
drunkard and the penitent mother of
thief. is likely to become famous all over
the world. She Is dead. but a letter left
by her Is one Of the most remarkable con-
tributions to the pathology OF crime found
In the annals. This poor mother acknowl-
edges herself responsible for her sons
wrong doing and his mother ascribes it to
ante-natai influences. She says that
shortly before he was born his father was

She signs herself "your affectionate

affectionateness shown by the letter are
proof conclusive that In her a good woman

The New York & New Haven Railroad
Company have been engaged in operating
an electrical branch of their line for sew
eral months past with satisfactory results.
In the speed test for passenger trains
eighty miles an hour was attained, while
in the test for strength in pulling and
pushing freight the motor handled 500
tons with ease. 1t was the opinion of rail-
road men that the motor could easily
have handled three times the tonnage,
and that its capacity for hauling was al
most without limit. The speed attained by
the freight motors was twenty-five miles
an hour. The company engaged in max
ing these practical tests on the branches
will ultimately adopt the electrical sys-
tenn on the main line.

In the Port ROYAL mountains. Jamaica.
an interesting archaeological discovery was
recently made of a cave containing the
skeletons of at least twenty-four of the
aboriginal Arawaks. When Columbus dis
covered the island in 1494 the Arawaks
were estimated at about 10000. A century
and a half later. on the capture of Ja-
maica by the English, they had completely
disappeared. even TO their bones, as only
the skulls until now had been found.
These showed a frontal depression with
lateral expansion. an artificially formed
deformity that is also found in those just
discovered. which are of all ages. A SHAT
tered canoe of cedar wood. feet long and
rs feet wide, an arborvitae mortar and
two earthenware vessels were found with
the skeletons.

Somebody has been telegraphing from
New York that the silver dollar coined in
1870 bore the inscription: zone dollar or
unit; one hundred cents" OF course Ii
did: it was coined under the act of 1892,
which expressly says dollars or units
each to be OF the value of a Spanish milied
dollar as the same is now current" The
dollar in question, without the law to ex-
plain 1t. would really seem to make the
cent the unit. since 1t says zone hundred
cents" But the dollar was the lawful
unit: there is no doubt of that. BY the
way. the act In question spells the tenth
