Perhaps the widest application Of
che law Of heredity Il made by an
italian scientist, DR.. Gianelli, says the
Chicago Tribune. He claims that
many Of mems dreams arc inherited
from ancestors Every person has a
dream which he dreams over and over
again-e favorite dream, as IL were.
This dream and some others that are
frequent, according to tho doctor, are
Inherited he observed, for instance,
that child of six years after an az
tack of typhoid fever saw In its slum-
Der figure clad In black, which ad-
vaneed to the foot OF the bed and
fixed upon him its shining eyes. Upon
relating the dream IL was found that
the father of the child frequently had
dreamed that dream, although he had
never mentioned It to his child. Fur
Their investigation revealed that the
grandfather dreamed the same dream.
although, as is usually the case with
such apparently unimportant mat
tera, he had not told anyone about IT.
DR.. Gianelh then made an investiga-
ton, and found many similar cases In
which sons had received dreams as
legacies from their parents. This has
led him to declare that the heredity
Of dreams Is proved.

1t Is doubtful If there has ever been
a composer who could work more

New Sork Herald A short time ago
large number of pilgrims from LON

evening before the day which was

ed him to compose an appropriate
piece OF music for the pilgrims. as
they wished to surprise the pope by
giving musical performances in his
presence. Abbe Perosi promised that
he would do so. That very night he
composed the music, early the next
morning he gave the score to the per-
formers and directed four rehearsals.
and at half-past II o'clock his music
was splendidly rendered in the pres
ence of Leo XIII, who was so delight
