An Expert In Such Things Claims That an Analysis of the Signatures Left by the Irhmortal William Strips Him of All Literary Credit. 'The finestlou of tvho ilhl "tvrile Shakespeare" does not eoneeni William Met’ouwny, who has wilt ton a mono graph on his Shakespeare theories, so much as "could William Shakespeare of Stratfordon-Avou write at till?" Mr. Conway is convinced that, whoever did write the plays, it was not tile hard of Avon, so called. He Liases his belief on evidence presented by cer tain existing signatures made by Wil- lisin Shakespeare and which seem to prove him to have been an illiterate man. Mr. McCnnway admits that, though so evidently illiterate, Shakespeare possessed native ability, manifested by his money gelling faculties, and adds the fact that as a theatrical manager Shakespeare secured to himself the plays that he did and (Inis stumped himself a competent man of business and a judge of public taste. But in regard to certain deficiencies exhibited by his signature Mr. McConway, after having made a study of the character istics of signatures, says: “Observations of I lie efforts and per formances of illiterate men in the la borious production of signatures lias led me to the conclusion that here was a man ashamed of his inability to write, made so by ids associations and the rise in Ids condition of life, seek lug to cover his intellectual nakedness with a garment provided by a sympa thizing friend. "The sympathizing friend in this in stance floated into Llie imagination in the form of some scrivener who ‘set the copy’ so laboriously reproduced in tlie form of (lie signatures to the deed and mortgage of Ml.” and to the will of 1016.” Sir. McConway refers to the original documents unearthed by Professor Wallace in 1010, and his theory is that, the solicitor who drew up the papers of the mortgage and of Hie will is the man who made for Shakespeare a copy of his name, which the illiterate Shake speare then followed in scrawling, un certain imitation to make the signa tures to tile documents. This saved him from the humiliation of having to make “his X mark.’’ A second document put in evidence by Mr. McConway is a fragment re lating to litigation in respect to cer- tnin money interests in the Globe the ater. In tills fragment appears, in two places, the name "Wilm. Shakespeare.” written by Ibe professional scrivener who prepared the ease. Mr. McCon way points out that Shakespeare’s own signature appended is a laborious imi tation. performed by a man who could not read Ids cldrography when he had written it. Mr. McConway Is convinced that this scrivener is the man who made the copy which enabled “Willm. Shake speare’’ to execute legal papers willi- ont the humiliation of the “X mark." The rule of legal procedure rbcpiired the evidence to be written out and signed by the witness before leaving the presence of the court. "Special attention is called to t It is signature." says Mr. McConway, "as it Is much abbreviated. The ’great dramatist.’ who had at Ids command, as evidenced by Ids putative works, a wealth of words measuring five times ttic number gathered into the diction ary of the time, uses but. a moiety of llie characters which lie had been (aught to use as the ideograph to rep resent his name. “We are (old that he was instructed to appear later before the court for a further examination, but the record no where shows that he ever appeared, although the other witnesses appeared a second time. Would they he consid ered cynical who might surmise that llie position in which Shakespeare of Stratford found himself when called upon lo attach Ids signature to llie rec ord in open court was one of extreme eniharriissinent in that lie could not without some exposure of ignorance use Ids 'copy' to guide Ids pen'. - "- New York Sun.

Just What It Is and the Methods Which It Is Measured. 'To find the tonnage or displacement of a sldti i s .rather puzzling. The ion- . mige of a ship is Hie measure of Us cubical or carrying capacity expressed in (mis. At the present lime there arc four methods in use of expressing l lie tonnage of a ship, known rosprollvely as the gross tonnage, the net register tonnage, the den lweiglit tonnage anil the displacement tonnage. In enlctiliiilug the gross tonnage the whole interior capacity of the ship be low llie tonnage deck is found, includ ing that of all covered in spaces on deck used for stowage, mid the result in cubic feet is divided by KHi. The net roglsicr tonnage is llie gross tonnage minus nil llie spaces used for the accommodation of the crew and iustrimiouls and the working purls of the ship, ll Ison die net register ton tinge that almost Invariably dues arc paid. The deadweight tonnage is Hie mens tire of tlie exact amount of cargo tlml ii ship enn carry without sinking loo deep in the water. The displacement manage is the space occupied by the ship in Hie wit ter. The amount of water displaced by a ship is. of course, cipial in weight to tin* ship and all it contains. As one ton is equal to lliirly-five cubic feet of wiilcr. llie displacement ton lingo is found by dividing tin* number of cubic feet of water displaced by thirty-five when the ship is immersed up to Its drafl or load line. London Standard. GEOLOGIC PERIODS. Stories of Time Told by Fossilized Plants and Animals. Scientists hesitate to estimate geo logical lime in terms.of years. Such estimates have, however, been made, awl one published by Professor Charles Schuelicrl in into slates that about 12,000,000 years have elapsed since the close of the carboniferous age, an age, as llie name suggests, in which great deposits of enrhou, in coal, wore being formed in ninny parts of llie world. This ago lias been divided by geolo gists into the Mlssissippiiin. I’ennsyl vanian and Periiilnii epochs, of which llie Misslssippian is the oldest and the Permian the youngest. The Pennsyl vanian epoch alone is estimated h.v Schuchert to have covered 2.100,000 years, and animal life Is supposed to have existed on tlie earth for over 14,- 000,000 years before (Imt time. Geologic periods arc recognized pri marily by the animals and plants that lived in (hem. so that the study of fossils plays a very real and important part: in the progress of geologic knowl edge. Rocks of carboniferous age. as shown by their fossils, have a wide distribu tion in llie railed States, and (hey are apt fo abound in these remains of plant and animal life.
