HEART OF LOUIS XIV
1t Was Swa allowed by the Dean of
Westminster and Now Rests
in the Abbey
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. ia remarkable
story regarding the heart of Louis
XIV and how 1t came to be buried in
Westminster abbey, is told in this
weeks Truth by Mr.. Labouchere, who
says the story was told him by the
late Colonel Harcourt, and was con-
firmed by his brother, the late Sir
William Harcourt.
A. Harcourt, who lived during the
first French revolution, had many
connections in France and invited many
of the emigres to visit him. Among
them was the canon of st. Denis.
On leaving, the canon expressed his
thanks for the kindly hospitality of
his host and produced from his pocket
something that looked like a piece Of
dried leather an inch or so long, which
he presented to him.
II was" he said, Sin the cathedNal
when the royal tombs were broken
open and the contents scattered to the
winds, This heart is that of Louis
XIV. 1t was kept in a separate
away with it,"
The heart thus came into the pos
session OF the Harcourt family. and
was occasionally produced for the in
spection of visitors as a curiosity.
The late Dr. Buckley, dean of West
minister. was on a visit when 1t was
brought out for his inspection. He was
then very old and had some reputation
as a man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger and
rub it on the heart. He put the finger
to his mouth after that and before
he could be stopped he put the heart
into his mouth and swallowed It,
whether by accident or design will
never be known.
Very shortly afterward he died and
was buried In Westminster abbey. 1t
is impossible he could ever have di-
gested the thing. 1t must have been
a pretty tough article to start with
and age had almost petrified it. Con-
sequently the heart Of Louis XIV must
now be reposing in Westminster alb

SURVIVORS SAVED FROM A RAFT

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE White Star
steamer Baltic arrived at Queenstown
ing drama of the sea.
1t concerns the shipwreck of the
schooner Van Name and King, and the
story is told by two survivors of the
crew of eight men, who were rescued
by the schooner S. F. Kelly, after hav-
ing lived on a raft through five days
of bodily suffering and mental an
guish.
The Van Name and King set out
from Charleston on October with a
cargo of hard pine for New York. Two
days later she encountered a gale.
Within few hours the sails were car
ried away, the hold was flooded and
the pumps choked.
The eight memebrs of the crew
lashed themselves to the rigging, the
bulwarks and the top of the deck
house, and so passed long, terrible
night. In the morning the schooner
was on her beam ends, and the crew
took refuge under the weather rail and
held on as best they could.
The storm increased in fury. One
wave which broke over the boat swept
seaman Grizell into the sea and frac-
tured both legs of seaman Arthur.
1t was apparent that the wreck would
soon become untenable. The half
starved, almost exhausted crew then
made a raft. They took off the top
of the deck-house. buoyed 1t with tim
bers from the cargo, launched it, and
when they had all dropped on 1T they
cut the line which held it under the
lee quarter. In another moment the
raft was swept far to leeward.
The same night seaman Arthur died
in the arms of Captain Maxwell and
his body was cast overheard.
The gale continued and the men held
on with enfeebled strength until two
days later-a Sunday-when the storm
abated. A distant sail was seen, and
the men had u ray of hope, but the
ship passed out of sight, and with it
all hope of rescue.
AS the ship disappeared from view
the mind of the mate, E. A. Chase,
became unhinged, and, rising from his

DISEASE IS NOT
MANS ENEMY
RACE WOULD PERISH BUT FOR
SICKNESS
Sir Frederick Treves, Distinguished
English Surgeon, Gives Cogent
Reason for His Belief That
illness Saves Lives
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON. Nov. 11.-Sir Frederick
Treves has just delivered a remarkable
address at the inaugural meeting of
the session of the Edinburgh Philo-
sophical Institution. His subject was
Medicine a la Mode" He contradict
ed the prevailing idea that disease is
something woeful and malignant, evil
in origin, evil in intent and evil in
effect.
"In the popular view," he continued.
"it Is held that disease Is a calamity;
that its end is destruction, and that it
is purposeless, except in one direction
that of doing harm.
Popular terms bear testimony to
the prevalence of that belief. A man
is said to be struck down by disease,
as by the aVenging angel. 1t seizes
him as does a roaring lion. 1t con-
sumes him as does a fire. The attitude
of the medical man toward disease is
that Of an opponent to deadly infiu-
ences.
He has to combat an enemy to man
kind whose every movement is dark
and malicious. There is no symptom
of disease that is not believed to be
noXious, and, as such, must be stamped
out with relentless determination.
"If the patient be Ill, the illness must
be stayed. If he coughs, the cough
must cease. If he fails to take food,
he must be made to eat. And why?
Because these are manifestations of
disease, and therefore OF Ill intent, and
to be banished.
II hold that there is nothing prefer
natural in the disease; that it's phe-
nomena or symptoms are marked by
purpose, and that purpose is benefi-
cent.
Disease is one of the good gifts. for
the motive is benevolent and protec-
tive. 1 cannot express that more pre-
cisely than by saying that, If 1T We're
not for the disease, the human race
would soon be extinct"
Sir Frederick then demonstrated his
proposition by instances. His first was
that of wound and the superVening
Inflammation, which was a process of
cure.
Peritonitis. which had always been
spoken of as the operating surgeons
deadllest enemy, was In reality. he
said, his best friend. The general
known as appendicitis was low. This
fortunate circumstance was due to
peritonitis, for without that much
abused ally every example of disorder
would be fatal.
Another instance given was that OF
common cold, which was no doubt
a so-called bacterial disease.
According to popular medicine" he
said "the phenomena constituting dis
ease are purposeless, profitless and
wantonly distressful, so that the vic
tim demands from the physician means
for stamping out the trouble. These
symptoms, however, are In the main
manifestations of cure. and are so
far benevolent that without them a
common cold might be fatal malady

A MAD MONARCH'S JEWELS
Magnificent Collection of Precious
Stones on Public
Exhibition

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE charm which
jewels exercise over the fair sex was
demonstrated in a remarkable manner
yesterday, when a long procession of
well-dressed women, young and old,
struggled to get a close view of the
wonderful gems belonging to the late
king of Bavaria as they lay glittering
in cases at the Conduit street gallery.
The Mad Kings" collection, with
other notable jewels, are to be put up
to auction by Messrs. Knight, Frank
and Rutley this afternoon, and high
prices are expected.
The late king of Bavaria was, before
he lost his reason and committed sui
side by drowning in 1886, devoted to
art and a passionate worshiper of the
works of Wagner.
This love for Wagner was shown in
the design of wonderful bracelet COM
posed of five panels, which was par
ticularly admired at the preliminary
view yesterday.
The center panel itself measured 2A
inches by 2% inches and contains a re-
production of Guido's Aurora The
other panels are filled with scenes from
Wagner's operas.
Another beautiful Wagnerian brace
let has a massive center of diamonds
and sapphires and emeralds, with the re-
suit that some of the ornaments are
barbaric in their splendor and origin
ality.
Perhaps the gems OF the collection
are Latin cross of enamel, sapphires
and diamonds eXquistely set and a Hol-
bein pendant and necklet.
Among the tiaras Is one composed of
flowers carved from colored precious
stones

RACES MAY BE TRACED
BY COLOR OF THEIR HAIR
LOOKS AND EYES DARKER IN
THE SOUTH
Color Marks Successive Scandinavian
Invasion on the East and North
east Coasts Of the British Isles,
Says Noted Scientist
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. 11.-"What are the
circumstances which determine the
color of a nations hair and the hue of
peoples eyes?" This was the question
to which DIR. Beddoe, F. r. S. In de-
livering the Huxley memorial lecture
before the Anthropological society the
other night, supplied the answer as
completely as present statistics can
make it.
The answer might be condensed into
the single phrase which DIR. Beddoe en-
ployed: Geographical position is the
warp and heredity the woof." That is
to say that, as most people are aware,
the farther south a nation lives the
darker it's hair and eyes.
Yet the distribution of dark and light
hair is such as to show the invasion of
immigrants.
A race settled in country not it's
own will retain through generations
it's racial colors. This fact was most
clearly shown by series Of color maps
ranged on the walls of the Society of
Arts theater. In looking at these maps
one could see that the tint deepened
toward the south, but it was not uni
form graduation of color. 1t had many
patches, and these patches coincide in
a remarkable degree with racial boun-
daries.
Thus one could see the light hair of
the light invasion, stopping short at
the Hartz mountains. There are other
remarkable phases, in Belgium, for in
stance, where a horizontal line can be
drawn across the country representing
the lighter and darker haired people,
who in truth were the Flemings and
Walloons, who have never mingled.
In DIR. Beddoe's map of the United
Kingdom the Importance Of race in de-
termining the color of hair is magnified
rather than reduced by smaller scale
of examples. For instance, a deepen
ing of the tint of the hair Is observable
between the north of Scotland and the
south Of England, along the border be-
tween Scotland and England and
stretching down into the midlands and
along the English east coast.
That color region marks the success
sive Scandinavian invasions which
landed chiefly on the east and the
northeast coasts and thrust their way
into the pastoral lands.
Similarly in Ireland among the dark
haired Celts there is a light-haired
wedge running up through Cork to the
grazing land of Tipperary and Cork.
1t is sometimes said that these light
haired people are the descendants of
Cromwells soldiers, but that is not
probable. 1t is much more likely that
they represent the overflow of Scan
dinavian invasions.

TOY AUT0B0ATS A NEW FAD
French Children Have Lively Con-
test on Lake In BoIs
de BouIoune
pecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Nov. 11.-Several days ago
there was held on the grand lac in the
Bois de Boulogne an autoboat contest
presenting many interesting features,
not the least of which was that the
owners and drivers Of the autoboats
were children.
The race was for cup offered by
photographer and was the first Of its
kind. OF the two score of craft en-
tered five only were at the starting line,
and Of these only one had adopted the
petrol motor as Its means Of propul-
sion. The remaining four were driven
either by steam or clockwork.
Misfortune overlook the patrol
launch, in the slender hull of which had
been placed small horse power motor
cycle motor, which proved far too pow
erful and heavy. 1t began to ship water
as soon as it started and half way
across the lake the entire contrivance
foundered.
The other craft to which had been
applied more traditional forms Of mo-
tive power met a fate less serious
Three at any rate traversed the lake
and the other might easily have done
SO had 1t not changed it's course.
An examination of any we'll stocked
toy shop will reveal the fact that the
younger generation has not failed to
become absorbed in autoboat sport
So far as hulls are concerned, most of
the leading successful autoboats which
have figured at various race meetings
have been faithfully reproduced in
miniature. OF these Trefle Quatre is
by far most frequently met with. The
reproduction in most cases is excellent
and thousands have been sold. These
hulls, which vary from half meter
to nearly two meters IN length, are in
most cases propelled by clockwork
machinery, though in some instances
small oscillating steam engines have
been employed.
A well known toy merchant said that
up to the present the models driven by
clockwork had been most sought after
Some children are permitted by their
parents to have steam engines, though
generally speaking, the steam driven
type are purchased by English people
or Americans He said there could be
no doubt whatever that the various
autoboat meetings all over Europe had
given the trade in model boats, and es-
pecfally those mechanically propelled
an impetus. He always expected q de-
mand for the model of any boat as soon
as its victory In race was announced
and he was rarely disappointed.
1t will thus be seen that in model
autoboating exists a pleasant pastime
LOT cnlioren' perhaps quite as pleasant
from their point of view as the larger
sport is to their elders. While at pres
ent there seems some doubt as to
whether the petrol motor will be ap-
piled to such models with success there
can be no doubt whatever that many
attempts will be made to construct a
petrol motor of the required dimension
80 that the real autoboat, which is es-
sentially a petrol autoboat, may even
tually exist in miniature complete to
the most trivial details
