A BOLD YANKEE SKIPPER.

New York Sun: There was recently
discovered among a mass of old papers
in a Bergen county farm house some in
teresting matter relating to members of
the Pell family. The Pells were among
the early settlers in Connecticut, and
came from Northamptonshire, England.
The record shows that Thomas Pell ar
rived in New Haven in 1886, and William
Pell reached Boston the same year. The
branch of the family to which the Jersey
Pells belong had many seafaring mem
bers, among them John B., William and
William w, who sailed from the port Of
New York in the first years of the cen
tury to many foreign countries, includ-
ing Spain, India and China. Their go
ings and comings, with the names of
their ships, We're recorded on the mar
gins of 'Hutchins' Almanack,' and the
frequency of the entries indicate that
they never remained long in port, while
their voyages were prolonged, on one
occasion extending over a period of Al
months.
The paper of greatest interest relat ties to
another Captain William Pell, supposed
to be the father of one of the foregoing.
He achieved distinction by an act of
daring characteristic of the American
sailor in all ages. In this particular case
the daring vas in the Interest of the

EXPERIMENT WITH STRING.

An astonishing experiment in parlor
physics may be performed with no APP
other than a piece of string six
feet long. A PERSONS hand being held
over his ears, this string is passed around
his head by another person. who holds
both ends in one hand, and by drawing
the fingers or nails of the other hand over
the cord, produces upon the tympanum of
the subject impressions Of almost start
ling intensity. Sharp peals of thunder,
changing into distant and prolonged
rumbling, are effects that may readily be
given. ..." e..
AS tortoise shell combs are always
prone to break easily, many may find this
a useful one. First slope the margins
of the broken pieces for the distance of
about a quarter Of an inch from the edge;
hen overlap these margins, and, when
thus arranged, clamp them together with
O strong letter clip, and imn1erse the
comb in boiling water for some time. AS
the horn s%oftens, it unites. After it is thor
oughly dry, the place where the break had
been will be almost invisible. y.
The custom of lifting the hat had it's
origin during the age of chivalry, when
it was customary for knights never to APP
pear in public except in full arnor. 1t
became a custom, however, for @ knight,
upon entering an assembly of friends, to
remove his helmet, signifying, Il am safe
in the presence of my friends The age
of chivalry passed away with the fifteenth
century, but among the many acts of
courtesy which can be traced back to it's
influence, none is more direct in it's origin
thar that of lifting the hat to acknowl-
edge the presence of a friend.

Whiskers who sat opposite, eve had a

on board, two deaths, and -
"Any births?' in~terrogated the old gen.
tleman, with a twinkle in his eye.
"No-er-nO births" answered the 9TH
err, in a manner which implied they could
have had one or two if they so desired.
Dear me, that's very ~strange!" ex-
claimed he of the gray side whiskers, ris-
ing as the car slowed up.
What is stranger"
Why, no births, / have crossed forty
three times, and there have always been
births on board"
The pompous note in the new-fledged
travellers voice gave place to a tinge of
reverence as the other mentioned the
figures, but he asked:
We'll, what do you call a number OF
births? Two. three, four, Or

What, babies?" -
Babies? No. Notwithstanding berths.

Authorities Want to EXhume
Barnet's Body.
POLICE ARE DOUBTFUL
Whether the District Attorney Has
Evidence TO COnvict--1n-
quest is Delayed.

New York, Feb. 6.-The only public
move in the Adams poisoning case an
nounced for today is the promised appli-
cation of the district attorney to the SUI
preme court for permission to exhume
the body Of Henry G. Barnet. This may
he made, and then again there are GER
tain things which lave already caused
delay in making the application and
may lead the district attorney to aban-
don entirely this ranch of the case. If
he does, there will be no excuse for fur
Their delay in the Adams inquest, but if
he finally decides to exhume the body Of
Barnet he will have to await the chemical
analysis of the stomach This may cause
further delay Of the inquest. AS a re-
suit, Coroner Hart has not yet sum-
moned a jury for the inquiry on Thurs
day, and will not do so until he receives
instructions from the district attorney.
Fl. G. Barnet's brother and DR.. Bea-
man Dougless, who attended Barnet
when he was i'll, declare that Barnet died
from natural causes and not from poison
inS, and it is intimated that Barnet's
brother may object to the district attor-
nsy's application to eXhume the body.
If this is done and the court refuses to
grant the permission owing to lack of
evidence of a crime having been com
nitted, the best part of the contention
made by the district attorney in his pub
llstled statement that he knew who
poisoned both Barnet n Mrs. Adams
will fall through. The police declare tina
these allegations of the district attorney
were made on clues which they investi-
gated and then discarded, and say that
he has no new facts in the case with the
exception Of the theories furnished him
by Harry Cornish, who is now a FREQUENT
visitor at the district attorneys office.

ROUGH ON BOOTH.

On one occasion Edwin Booth, the
American actor, was standing behind the
scenes when a character actor, who had
been giving limitations of noted actors.
was about to respond to an encore
Whom do you initiate next?' Booth
asked. !

represent you in Hamlet's soliloquy; but

the tragedian, and hastily putting an the
other actors wig, and buttoning up his
coat, he went on and delivered the we'll
known lines.
The next morning a stated
that the imitation ruined the perform
ance, "the PRESERVATION of Edwin Booth
being simply vile enough to make that
actor shudder had he seen it."

THE DREAMSHIP,

When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
AS though it were a wandering cloud
Inc ghostly dream-ship flies.
An angel stands at the dreamship's helm,
An angel stands at the prov,
ana an angel stands at the dream-ship's
side
With a rue-wreath on her brow.
me other angels, silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
ana the angel with the wreath of rue
Iosseth the dreams affair.
The dreams they fal lon rich and poor;
They fall on young and old;
ana some are dreams of poverty
And some are dreams of gold.
ana some are dreams that thrill with JOY,
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old lead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumbering earth their toys
Ana sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
Of buoyant youth again.
The king shall be a beggarman-
The pauper be a king
In that revenge or recompense
The dreamship dreams do bring.
so ever downward float the dreams
Tha are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve hat mystery.
But aver inward in its course
Along the haunted skies
AS though it We're a CLIQUE a%stray-
The Shostly dreamship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

4 curious optical effect seen on the
artillery ranges of Lydd, Eng. was men
TONED by Major p. A. MacMahon in a
lecture the other day on Mirage" On
a hot, sultry day ar officer was firing,
from an ordinary Maxim machine gun at
a target about 600 yards distant, and as
the firing went on he saw a great wedge
shaped gap in the top Of the target. To
his amazenent, however. the gap disap-
peared When he stopped firing. Major
attributes this to mirage,
concluding that the heated gases from
the gun formed a medium of gradually
increasing density upwards, and that
through this medium negative reflaction
so bent the rays that q we~dga-shaped
portion of the sky appeared between the
observer and the upper part of the target.
Ihe phenomenon. however, has given rise
to some controversy, which is likely to
continue, as this theory is not accepted
by all.

Omy has been attempted by two Euro

Experience is making 1t evident that
the utilization of the waste gases of blast
furnaces now being tried in a small way,
is a matter of no small Importance. Mr..
H. Allen, an English engineer, states that
the gas is never too poor to burn satisfac-
torily in the gas engine, that it is very
uniform in quality, and that each cubic
foot represents 22,372 fo~ot-pounds of
work. Under a steam boiler, however,
it yields less than a fourth of the power
it will develop in the gas engine. A new
$50 horsepower engine for a German cal
cium carbide plant is run on 100 cubic
feet of the gas per hour for each indicated
horsepower, which is equivalent to about
1.3 pounds of coke charged into the fur
mace, and is regarded as a very remark
able result.

Ice storms are commonly believed to be
due to rain falling on surfaces cold
enough to freeze it. The fact that the OBJ
jects iced are often comparatively warm
makes this simple theory insufficient,
and observations during a remarkable ice
storm last October, in Germany, have
proven to DR.. w. Meinhardus that the
phenomenon is one OF the singular con-
dition of liquids, Known as 'superfuslOn.'
In this state the liquid has a freezing tenn
p%erature but is kept from solidifying by
some special circumstance. In the storm
observed, reports from elevated stations
showed that the moisture was condensed
in an upper air stratum above freezing
point in temperature, and that the ram
fell through a colder stratum, becoming
chilled to freezing temperature, but re-
naming LIQUID until the drop was de-
formed by striking a resisting body.
