Miss Dagmar Langenberg a young Swedish woman, in this coun try scarce a year, is its 'owner. There is no doubt as to the harp's authenticity; it has descended to Miss Langenberg through a long line of an cestors. To those who might question her. Miss Langenberg. exhibits the cer tificate which proves as far as any doc ument can prove that the harp was really once the treasured property of "fa Uelle Auatrienne." It is a beautiful instrument, the du rst work of that great maker of harps Henri Naderman, of Vienna, who fash ioned it in 1720. All but the sound ing board is of the finest mahogany. It has never been iiolished as modern in struments are the friction of he hand" and a little sandpaper were the only tools used in those bygone days. Not a bit of varnish ever brightened its venerable surface. When Marie Antoinette became the bride of Louis XVI she took this beau tiful harp from its resting place in the music room of the royal house of Aus tria and brought it with her to Paris. The people of France rebelled against their king largely, history tells, be cause of their hatred cf the beautiful queen. The royal palace was sacked; both the harps were taken with the oilier priceless loot. King and queen were, flung into prison. King Louis was guillotined on, Jan. 21. 1793. in the Place de la Revolu tion. The "Widow Capet," as after ward the mob called the former queen, was; kept alive a few months longer. She pined for the harp, companion of be- earlier " and happier days whe-j .'.he was a ' jiirl prineoss in Ar-itria. LVKiio jailer, kinder hc.an.ed th:;n the rest,, got it back for her. On Oct. 1C, 1793, Marie Antoinette followed Jht royal husband to the guillotine. Then the harp disapimarcd and was so recorded in the national archives. But a description of it was Kent which has since made possible its identification. A family that lived in Asnierles, near Pari?,, really secured the harp and bid it iu their garret for years. They were the Klauzuets loyalists. In 180-t a Swedish count. Ulrich von Cronstodt, discovered the harp lying among the garret rubbish. Fifteen years lat-jr. :u 1M!. be took U to Sweden with him. from that day to this there is no doubt that the harp lias been carefully pre served il is the same harp that Count Ulrich secured in Paris so many years nso. Mis.-i Langenberg brought the harp to this country in the original oaken box in which it was found in France and from there conveyed to Sweden by Count (Inch. She is now staying at No. IJtiUA Tompkins avenue, and there in the drawing room, rests the harp in a position of honor at last, after its century of vicissitudes. The certificate remains in Sweden, fhe property of the Langenbergs, who are descendants of the Croustedt fam ily. But Miss Langenberg has an English translation, duly certified by a notary, which gives trie history of trie harp from the day of its manufac ture until it fell into her possession. New York World.

A Strange Freak Explained SpHcaMMs ir: t-kin diseases and prominent local physicians held a clinic ir. tlie Clark street, museum yes terday over the mysterious marks re sembling the crucifixion which arc im printed on the back of Abbott. Parker of Charlestown, Mass., said to have resulted from a stroke of lightning ac Morrlstown, N. J., en August 5 this year. Dr. Dunne of Rock ford, III., a spe cialist in skin diseases, gave a lecture. 'Cases have been known where im ages of objects near at hand have been reproduced on the bodies of people struck by lightning," he said. "The electrolytic descriptions of tha inor ganic salts iu the body into ions, the units, of electricity, takes rdace when lightning strikes. "These ions place the skin, as it were, into a negative plate ready to take a picture when exposed, as is the case in the exposure of a camera. This is done when the lightning tears the clothing off the body. "The electrical current turns the so dium chloride in a body to a aodtuin positive and chlorine negative. The hydrochloric acid, being disintegrated into chlorine and hydrogen, will re main so until the body is exposed to the light when the actinic rays will causo them to reunite and form hy- drochlorie acid again. ' This is what I think has happened iu the Morri;; lovin case. 'Parker's skin was made photograph ically sensitive by tho lightning. He was brought to the hospital, and when his clothing was removed tho photo graph of the crucifix hanging on the wall, or perhaps that suspended from the rosary hanging by the side of th- Sisters in attendance, was transfeir i to nis skin."

IS. says: Buried under ten 1 tons of coal, with life sustained by. moans of a gas pipe forced through tho heavy mass, while his comrades worked heroically to rescue him. was the experience of Hugh Kelly, -10 years old,, and em ploye cf the Hudson Coal company. Kelly is now in the Jersey City hos pital, bruised and injured internally. Physicians there say he cannot live. Kelly was at work on top of a thirty-foot trestle, up which big stCQl cars, each carrying fifty tons of coal, are run from tho barges. His duty was to securo tho cars before they were emptied into the chute. Kelly was on a car fastening the brakes when another employe, Thomas Hag- erty, pulled the lever which releases the coal from the bottom of the car. Kelly fell with the coal thirty feet and was in an instant buried under tons of it. Kelly's fatal plunge was seen by Haggerty, but his cries for help brought ether employes, headed by Alderman Holmes, superintendent of the yard, to the scene. A long piece of gas pipe was shoved down through the coal and fortunately reached the entombed man, who was thus saved from suffocation. Then followed a brave fight against death. Armed with shovels, the baud of rescuers delved and dug with frantic baste to rescue their comrade. Occasionally one would shout en couragingly through the pipe to the unfortunate man. Haggerty, a life long friend of Kelly, through whos? mistake the accident occurred, was among the foremost In'tiie work of rescue, and when the last lump of coal had been removed, and anxious hands raised Kelly to the platform, he was unconscious. His teeth were clenched like a vise on the end of tho gas pipe. An ambulance had been summr.ned in the meantime, and Kelly was taken to the hospital, where an examination by the physicians proved that his in juries were fatal. When his friend, Haggerty, who in sisted on going to the hospital with him, learned that there was no hope of saving his friend's life, he broke down and cried like a child.

Douglas said on the day after election, "that Mr. Douglas would be elected. The people must have known that he would do the best he could for thcni. He has always done right, and I know that he will do tho best he can always. I feel, in a measure, as though I had lost something. It will take a yea. away from me. I have always had my husband. He has not been a club man; ho-has been a- home man. We must not consider ourselves too much, though. We are glad he carried Broeic ton. That was really all we cared for. I never wanted to be the governor's wife. 1 just wanted to be Mrs. Doug las." We have become so accustomed to silly, priggish talk from women wiicso husbands attain high public places that the genuinely American note struck in this simple, modest ut terance is as refreshing as a noonday shower. It carries us back to Abigail Adams, Martha Washington and the other real women who did as much as the men of their day to stamp out folly and frivolity and make this the great, wholesome, unpretentious repub lic it became.
