 In the forthcoming issue of the Inde- pendent Felix Elem, the French artist. relates the alleged circumstances under which Chopin wrote his Funeral March," He says 1t was written in his studio in 1s40, Parts of the furniture of this studio were g piano and a human skeleton. He says in his account;

I may mention Chevalier de Val dreme, Ludre, De Polignao, the musi- clan; Chopin and Ricard, whe had paint ed my potralt. We were gay party and prolonged our 'causerie' Into the small hours of the morning.
 "It must have been about o'clock. I think. when. being for moment alone with Ricard t,l the middle compartment the others were sleeping in a room be- yond on 8 divan-~I seized the skeleton at the suggestion of some mad fancy passing through my head. and. shroud- ing it in the plano cover, which Ric- ard obliglngiy whipped off for me. raised the tapestry and made it do tig before our friends on the farther side.

 ''At first they saw only the comic side of the situation. Their previous merFi- ment grew louder and reached It's maxi mum when De Pollgnac stalked forward. took the skeleton from me, tnsinuated himself beneath It's shroud, and. sitting down at the piano, made the bony fin- gers play. It was a weird spectacle. All of us were fascinated by the grim hu- nor of this skeleton man performing at what. with some truth, might be called a skeleton instrument, it's naked ham mers looking like so many teeth moving within a skull. We began to affect or feel a sort of fright. for which the rhythmic taps on the divan. secretly ad- ministered by one of the company, were

The first chords that he struck were with the skeleton on his knees, but. warming to his theme, he let 1t chatter to the floor. Deep silence fell on us. It was the Funeral March he was playing. There is no need for me to enlarge on the applause which greeted Chopin at it's conclusion. We knew. and he knew, he had composed a masterpiece.

The safety of the acetylene stora ge method Of Messrs. Claude and Hess French engineers, seems to have been fully demonstrated, The process consists In dissolving acetylene in acetine, and in a review of the results achieved. A. Ja- net states that. with a maximum pressure of about 150 pounds per square inch it is Impossible to enclose 100 volumes of acety- lene. The steel cylinders are completely filled with porous material, so as to avoid ali acoumulations of compressed gas, When the outlet valve is opened there Is regular and continuous discharge of acetylene. and cylinder have been now in regular service for a considerable time with no accident whatever. The cylinders have even passed intac. through disast- rous fires. no explosion having occurred The use of stored scetylene for train lighting is one of the most important of the many applications made in France, and 1t is also of great value for the acety- lene-oxygen blowpipe. a new portable source of the most intense heat.

Allen VaUsht Breaks Into The

a Pair of Shoes.

The shoe store recently own
ed by the late Thomas Nc
Lean and which is being sold
out by his widow, was broken
into last night and several
small articles taken, the most
valuable being pair of patent
leather shoes. Allan Vau ght a
boot black, was Immediately
suspicioned as he had been in
the store yesterday looking at
the shoes which were stolen,
and he was seen this morning
with them on. When arrested
by Sheriff Struthers, he dis
claimed any connection with
the theft, claiming that his
mother had. purchased the
shoes at the Fair. After a Sc
vete Sweating" he confessed
that he had stolen the shoes.
Entrance was made to the
store by breaking panel out
OF the back door. Several
other pairs of shoes were Ste
len and blame is attached to
gang of rather tough boys
around town.
The boy Vaught has already
served part of a term in the
Industrial School and is out on
parole. He will probably be
sent back.
He tells a very pitiful story
of i'll treatment at home at the
hands of his mother, his father
