POWERS OF HERDITY.
Some Remarkable Stories Told of Tt.
NIys terious Influences.

Some Remarkable Stories It's
NIys terious Influences.
Doctors disa gree as to the influence of
heredity. Some hold that a great deal
hinges upon it; others believe the con-
trary- Some of the authentic stories
told to exempIify this mysterious bond
between ancestors and descendants are
very curious. There was a loan col
lection of old portraits exhibited in
London lately and young girl was
among the visitors. She was an
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 it more than
once Her companion saw in it moth
ing but the commonplace painting of a
middle-aged man in the costume of the
latter part of the last century. 1T is
such a nice, kind face said the girl,
rather wistfu11y 81 imagine my father
might have looked like that had he
lived AS most of the pictures were
tiCketed 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 attrac-
ton. To her establishment she found
her own name opposite to its number
and learned on inquiry that the orig
inal was of her direct ancestors.
Another occult coincidence or psyche
logical phenomenon happened 4 few
years ago to southern statesman and
inancier whose family has always been
of rank in his native state. This gem

and letters which had been stored in a

will exhaust every device to spread the

AN ODD TALE OF THE SEA.
Rolling Copper Rivet Wears Through
Bottom Vessel.


Bottom Vessel.
Some years ago vessel loaded With.
guano worth several thousand dollars
caught fire in the south Pacific and
was abandoned by the captain and
crew, who came ashore in the small
boats and reported the disaster. One
of the consignees thought the cargo
could be saved, as he knew that guano
would not burn, and it was his idea
that the hulk of the ship might be
found floating somewhere at sea- He
chartered small English tramp YES
sci that happened to be at CaIIao-
Peru, and started out to search for
the dere1ict- After cruising for two or
three weeks, he found her, the wood
work burned to the waters edge, but
the hulk sound as dollar and the
cargo all right They started to tow
her to Callao, but the day before
reaching that harbor the tramp vessel
they had chartered began to fiji rap
idly and the pumps could scarcely
keep her afloat- They narrowly es-
capped sinking with all on board. The
leak was a mystery. They managed
to get her to Callao only by the
greatest exertion. When the ship went
into the dock and was examined it
was found that one of the plates about
the center had worn through. Fur
ther investigation demonstrated that
the damage had been done by a little
copper rivet, which had been accident
ally left in the bottom and had rolled
back and forth over the same spot
often and long that the iron plate
had been worn thin and the pressure
of the water had broken through
