POWERS OF HERDiTY.

Some Remarkable Stories Told of It's
Mysterious Influences.
Doctors disagree as to the influence Of
heredity. Some hold that great deal
hinges upon it; others believe the con-
trary Some of the authentic stories
told to exemplify this mysterious bond
between ancestors and descendants are
very curious. There was loan col
lection of old portraits exhibited in
London lately and a young girl was
among the visitors. She was an or
phan and wealthy, but without near
relatives, and was often heard to COM
plain of the loneliness of her position.
AS she passed through the gallery one
particular portrait attracted her atten-
ton and she went back to 1t more than
once. Her companion saw in 1t moth
ing but the commonplace painting of
middle-aged man in the costume Of the
latter part of the last century. ut is
such a nice, kind face" said the girl,
rather wistfully Il imagine my father
might have looked like that had he
lived" AS most of the pictures were
t:cketed the visitors had purchased no
catalogue, but, before going away, Miss
B. bought one at the entrance and
made a last visit to the portrait for
which she had felt so strong an attrac-
ton. To her establishment she found
her own name opposite to its number
and learned on inquiry that the orig
inal was one of her direct ancestors.
Another occult coincidence or psyche
logical phenomenon happened few
years ago to a southern statesman and
financier whose family has always been
of rank in his native state. This gen.
tleman was overhauling old documents
and letters which had been stored in

considered that the United States

will PUN the Retvizan over the meas

distance from mark to mark, will keep
record of the revolutions of the big
twin screws until the time comes when
carefully measured space Is covered
exactly at the required speed.
Then the time will be ripe for the
main test, and for twelve hours the
ship will be forced onward over a
course laid anywhere In the sea that
gives the required area of deep water,
and throughout the revolutions Of the
propellers must average at least up to
the turns that were found necessary
to make the contract speed.

tory a northwest course will carry the
vessel far away from the track of any
regular liners or coasters and the
swarthy Russian sailors will be given
their chance to participate in the af-
fair.
This they will do by firing each gun
at nothing but the water, frst with
half a service charge Of powder and
then with the regular war charge and
projectile. The effects Of each shot
on every plate. beam and stanchion
will be noted, for the great guns use
21O pounds OF the highest power
smokeless powder to hurl their $50
pound pointed cylinders of steel, and
the crush and shock Of such dis
charge is little less than a small
earthquake.
There is one thing sure In connection
with the Retvizan. She will never
catch fire. The lessons Of the Yalu
river, Manila bay. and Santiago are
now too deeply rooted in the minds OF
the Russians to permit them to use
wood in any form in the construction
of their ships. So she has asbestos
bulkheads in all the living spaces and
the entire interior Is sheathed with
the same fire-proof material. Even
her boats will be Of metal, step
which has not been taken by the
United States yet, though the newer
ships have precious little wood about
them.
It will be only a few days before
the world will know whether this
$4,000, 900 combination of steel Is a
success or failure, and If she proves
the test, as everybody believes she
will, then the world must bow. for
the era of the 1Sknot battleship has
come.

The coming first trial Of the big bat
tleship is called preliminary, or
builders test, but it is much more
interesting, and far more important
than the final acceptance trial Of
twelve hours, for it really shows the
qualities of the ship for the first time,
and in addition. every gun will be
tested, feature totally eliminated
from United States warship trials.
Their guns keep silence until long
after the vessel is in commission, then
the firing trial is ordered.
Has q Terrific Battery.
The Retvizan carries a terrific bat
terry AND the big guns are novel to
American ayos. for the Russians manu-
facture all their own heavy ordnance
at the Obrukoff works. They are
really a modification OF the famous
French Canet type and have practically
the same style of breech block and,
like all such weapons, are fired by
electricity and loaded by machinery
except for the pushing of the shell into
the yawning breech.
There are four twelve-inch, twelve
six-inch and twenty three-inch guns
in the main battery. while the second
airy group is made up of twenty forty
millimeter Hotchkiss rapidfire
cannon. Every one Of these has to
be tested, not because the Russians
fear the efficiency Of the guns them
selves, but to enable them to learn just
how the carriages and the fittings
stand the strain and also what sort Of
a gun platform the vessel is.
Therefore the Cramps will man the
ship with a crew from their yards, all
of them skilled engineers and firemen,
and Capt. Stechensnovitch, the future
commander, will take aboard gun
crews made up from the 100 or more
men who are here as part of the
crew that will take the ship home.
Once compasses are adjusted the
nose of the Retvizan will be pointed

DISTRICT ATTORNEY PENNEY.
(From a sketch made at Buffalo)
in concluding his sentence, "and may
God have mercy on your SOUL"
The court quit at the middle OF the
customary formula in pronouncing the
sentence.
Manacled and Led Away.
The hush as the solemn words were
pronounced was like the silence Of the
tomb. For several moments the silence
was unbroken. The click of handouts
put startling termination on the
strain. Like a great sob the emotion
of the court room welled up and were
lost in the shutting of feet. The final
scene of the historic trial was con-
cluded.
Manacled to detectives who had
brought him into the court, the dssas-
sin was conducted away. Between the
wall Of bailiffs, policemen and specta-
tors the murderer passed. He looked
not into a single eye. Justified by him
self or not, his deed lay heavy on his
head. A groan of execration followed
him down the broad court house stairs
to the Jail tunnel below.

HAUNT OF WILD BIRDS.
Granite Clin Near North Cape, Holland
Literally Covered with Them.

Granite Clin Near North Cape. Holland.
Literally Covered with Them.
One of the greatest haunts of wild
birds in the world is Hjelmso- Stauren,
a mighty cliff of granite rising from
the ocean near the North Cape, Hol-
land. 1t is a precipitous wall nearly
1000 feet in height, whose surfaces
are broken by inches and shelves and
little crsvices evidently caused by the
disintegration of the rock, writes VIM.
E. Curtis in the Chicago Record Her
AID The sea birds Of the Arctic have
found it of great convenience and
make it their headquarters. The wall
is protected from the wind by its Pc
culiar position, and the instinct Of
the feathered population Of this region
has taught them that it is the safest
place they can find. Hence every lit
tie niche contains nest. Nobody
knows how many there are, but dur
ing the season when little birds are
mating and nesting and until the lit
tie ones are old enough to take care OF
themselves the cliff Is covered with
them.
The captain of the approaching
steamer gives to his passengers notice
of his nearness to the place, creeps up
to the side of the cliff as quietly as
steamer can CO. and when in the prop
er position blows whistle, fires can
non, lets off lot Of skyrockets and
makes as big noise as possible, which
frightens the birds, and everything
with wings starts shrieking into the
air. The sky is filled with them like
a cloud of smoke, covering the vessel
for a few moments until they scatter
in the distance, and after while re-
cover their courage and come back
gradually and congratulate themselves
upon their escape from death and dis
aster. "A photograph cannot give any
kind of an idea of the scene. The birds
are so small and the rock Is so large
that they are mere atoms in the at
mosphere. But those who have wit
messed the avalanche Of frightened
birds, and have heard their plaintive,
wailing cries, will never forget it.
This colony, the captain declares,
numbers millions. They consist OF
gulls, sea swallows, elder ducks, looms
and pufins.
