rlarie Antoinette's Harp
The harp that once Queen Mari
Antoinette played to admiring audi- j
ciiccs of courtiers and again to while
away the weary hours when she was a
prisoner of state iu Conciergie, is in
ifrooklyn. 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.

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." Chicago Chronicle.

An Heroic Effort
The Dcs Moines Register and Lead
er tinder date of Xew York, Dec. 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.

A Genuine American Woman.
"We did not believe." Mrs. W. L.
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
