She admitted the theft and was bound over to the September term of the superior court in bonds of $500. The two cases were peculiar ones. Detective Bamforth and Detective Richardson made the arrests yester- day after the couple had been sought by the police since January 31. Mrs. Rotka said she met Zemba on Jannu- and for two weeks thereafter he and with $165 were saw “are the ary was a daily visitor at her house pleaded with her to run away him.

She kept him drunk for two weeks preceding their elopement, he said, and he dia not know what he was doing. When he sobered up he realized he had made a mistake. He also declared that the woman stole her hushand’s tch and then. saving it was too heavy for her to carry, gave it over to him. One Other Case, There was but one other case in court today.

Beantiful Specimen Has Been Add- ed to Gollection at Institute Among the thousands of beautiful and curious objects the nature perhaps there is nothing which can surpass the coloring and wonder- ful construction of the creatures which are to be found in the form of shells. The average person knows little or nothing about shells, but when one sees the large and beautiful collec- tion of shells in the museum on the upper floor of the New Britain Insti- tute, it makes a body wish for infor- mation on the subject. Fortunately the one who made the collection, the late Antoinette Shepard, wrote a series of articles on some of the most interesting specimens in the collec- tion and these will be published in the Herald from time to time. An article on “Pinna nobills” or ‘“sea silk” from the Mediterranean by Mi Shepard was recently published in the Herald, and Burlingham Schurr, the curator of the museum, states that hundreds of people called at the insti- tute and requested to be shown the The subject of the story today is “Turbinella,” and pecimen of this remark- able shell is in the collection at the Institute museum. The article follows: “Turbincll Turbinella Pyrum, Shank Chank,” is the a shell of the Hindus, and the national emblem of the kingdom of Travencore. The God hnu is represented as carrying a Chank shell in one hand, and a Chakra in the other. The Hindus believe that unless they worship this shell at the commence- ment of every worship or prayer, their offerings would not be accepted. Vish- nu, the protector, is supposed to hold a Chank in his hand. Tt is called De- vadatta.

A few hundreds are occasionally imported into Cal- cutta from the Arabian and Persian gulfs. The Chank fishery of Ceylon at one time employed 600 divers, and vielded a revenue to the island gov- ernment of £4,000 per annum for li- censes. The fishery i{s now free.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR SOUTHWEST SECTION Jean de Baptiste hall, Church Xew Country Club Sceking to Develop Territory by Extension of Trolley, Sewer and Water Service, Trolley development and extension fo the southwest section of the city by the construction of a belt line con- necting the Arch street and West Main street lines is being urged by the directors of the new Shuttle Meadow Country club, which has recently ac- quired large blocks of property hor- dering on Shuttle Meadow avenue, Corbin avenue and Lincoln street, One proposed route would extend the existing Arch street line south- ward through Kensington avenue and cross country to Lincoln street or Corbin avenue and back to West Main street.
