This is the story of this remarkable
man
While the Romans were masters of
Britain (England) there was living
near the Scottish border a Roman
deputy or magistrate by the name OF
Calpurnius. His father, Potitus, had
died a priest, C%alpurnius himself was
a deacon, aad his wife Conchesa vas
said to have been a lear relative of
st. Martin Of Tours. The son of
these good people was named Succat.
He was sometimes called Patricius,
l. e., patrician or noble-born, and in
time this name supplanted the other,
and became shortened into Patrick.
About A. d. All a band of Picts
from Scotland raided the country just
south of Severus' well and captured

Patrick thought this dream a call
to carry the gospel to the Irish, but

four young men were James Platter
Dennis, a grandson Of Judge Fell;

ernor Of Pennsylvania; John Butler

afterward a leading lawyer OF the
state.
Thus they became the founders OF

cal society. 1t Is this organization
thar now proposes to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary OF the experiment
Of Judge Fell.
II was at a meeting Of the society
that the facts concerning the old
Jesse Fell CRATE we're learned. A pa.
per on Where Is the CRATE on which
Jesse Fell made his successful ex-
pertinent Of burning anthracite coal?"
was read before the meeting by Rev.
II. T. Hayden.
Mr.. Hayden has come 10 the cen.
clusioR that the original CRATE is not
now In existence, and that the only
well authenticated CRATE eGtant he.
longing 10 Judge Fcll' Is that hereto.
fore known as the Herman or Eiek
CRATE and nov in the possession Of
tho society.
Concerning the original CRATE as
many as six statements are made.
The FIRST Is that the crate was made
Of hickory wlthes. Mr.. Hayden de.
elares this untrue.
Next ome the Marble CRATE, so
put forth by Col. J.. NJ. c. Marble,
president Of the First National bank
OF Los Angeles. He states that while
visiting his grandfather at Wyoming
he was told the story o. Judge Fell's
experiment.
According TO this story some iron
bars we're set In the old chimney,
which Is still In existence In the Fell
house, bricks piled in front and
on the sides and on the iron bars a..
fire of hickory wood was built. Coal
was then procured and placed on the
FIRE, and II burned nicely.
Judge Fell was so pleased, the story
continues, that he took out this CRATE
and had another more substantial one
made on the following day. This. then.
.disposes OF the original Crate.
In 1858 there was no CRATE In the
fireplace. The projectors OF the his
t0rical society secured from a Mr..
Carpenter an old crate which had
been used by Judge Fell and placed 1t
in the fireplace for this celebration.
The old CRATE was worn out, and
whether It was the one made by
Judge Fell after his first experiment
or what became OF 1t afterward Is not
known.
Later in Judge Fells life he mar.
ried a widow named Culver. When
in 1880 they moved from the old Fell
house they took the crate with them.
and this is the crate now In the pos
session of the Historical society.
The old CRATE now In the original
fireplace at the Fell house, was, &C.
cordtng TO Capt. Calvin Parsons
in the fireplace by him in 1878
when a centennial celebration was
held for the Wyoming massacre.
When in 1906 the original tavern
was torn down the old fireplace and
chimney We're preserved intact and
now occupy q place of honor In the
new building.
