CRoMWELL's HEAD SHOWN.

Rev. MIR. Wilkinson Says II Has Been
In His Family Three Generations.
The reputed head of Oliver Crom-
well was exhibited at recent meet
ing of the Royal Archaeological society
at Burlington House, London. The
Rev. FL. r. Wilkinson said that the
head had been in his family for three
generations and In that time had never
been previously exhibited in public.
The tradition was that the skull was
blown off Westminster han and was
picked up by sentry, who hid it and
only confessed on his deathbed to his
wife that he had 1t in his keeping. It
passed into the possession Of the Cam
bridgeshire family of Russell and
came to Sam Russell, needy actor.
Then 1t was sold to Cox, the pro-
prietor of the museum in Spring Gar
dens. and was transferred by him to
three persons. who exhibited it in Bond
street. Next 1t came into the hands of
the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson's grandfather.
Sir Henry Howorth said that the
evidence seemed to make it extremely
probable that the head shown was real

HOW DID HE ACQUIRE THE
TITLE OF GENERAL?

From the Louisiana Democrat, pub
lished at Alexandria: General Albert
Estopinal claims to be a Democrat way
down in his bailiwick of St. Bernard,
but somehow, or somehow else, he gen
orally manages to vote with the Repub
licans on the tariff question. But the
general so-called must have had his
ear to the ground and has evidently
heard the runabling detonations of
Democratic dissatisfaction with his de-
clination to vote for Canadian reciproc-
ity, as he has reconsidered his deter
mination, publicly announced, not to
abide by the action Of the caucus OIL the
treaty, and will now, as a good and
loyal Democrat, support il. The gen
eraf' has probably discovered that JEFF
fersonial Democracy is largely in the
ascendant in this State, and that it is
now in the saddle with the evident de-
termination Of asserting its rights.

NEW ELEMENT LIKE RADlUM.
College Professor Says 1t VIII Be
Great Benefit TO Humanity.

Professor c. T. B. Fennell Of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati told the American
Chemical society that he has discover
ed new element which has been ex-
tracted from iodine and which is sim
liar in its action to radium. Professor
Fennell has been working on this sub
ject for the past two years. He told
how he found this new element and
stated that he Is now engaged in sever
al new developments with it which
will bring his discovery to a better
usefulness.
Professor Fennell said that be came
upon the element in rounda bout way
while he was making experiments on
another line; that he dropped that line
of research and has now found this
new element, which will make his dis
coyery of great benefit to humanity by
reason of the fact that materials can
be made from this at much less ex-
pense than with. the use Of radium.
