An immense crowd visited the Capitoline
grounds in Brooklyn on the afternoon OF the
18th, to witness the departure of the big bal
loon for Europe. The process of imitation
commenced ct an early hour in the morning,
and continued steadily until ten minutes past
four, when the balloon suddenly swayed to the
north, ripped half way around with great
tearing sound, and fell fiat upon the ground.
The immense volume of gas which had been
pumped into it, nearly 400, 600 feet, escaped at
the same moment, nearly suffocating those
who stood on the inside. The crowd made

afraid to accept the package. The journal

closed, all the operators being sick with the
fever A dispatch received at New Orleans
says: "The city is in great need of help. The
yellow fever is of a malignant type and does
not yield readily to the treatment. There Is
great scarcity of people to attend the sick. !"
There were thirty deaths on the 18th, and the
fever was reported worse on the 18th.

Mr.. ". c., snob, was so fond of fine
clothes that he reveled in them by day
and dreamed Of them by night. One

his hat on the rack, Hang there, you ten

steamboats, on the Hudson.

vertisement in the Hudson Bee oil june
1908. giving the schedules OF the steam'i
boats running on the North river, the
first boat having passed Hudson City,
Aupust IL. 1907. The boats ran once a
week. starting on Saturday at six 0 cleok
D. m, from New York, and on Wednes-
day at eight o'clock am, from Albany,
the time being thirty-four hours, and the
fare being seven dollars between the two
cities mentioned. The time of arrival
at and the fares to certain specified
landings are giveR, and persons wishing
10 come on board are notified Of the ne
oessitv of being on the spot one hour
before the time appointed. so as to avail
themselves of the advantages and disad-
vantares of the wind and tide. Per1oEs
wishing TO come aboard from any other
landing than those specified, are advised
~ calculate the time at which the boat
would pass and to be ready on per arri-
val. Passengers from undernoted poinis
are informed that they must pay one
dollar for every twenty miles and hall

surplus baggage aud light and valuable
merchandise. Passengers were required
to breakfast before they came aboard
but this rule seems useless at New York,
where the boat started at m. Dinner
was served at 2 pm, tea, with meats,
now called a high tea, at eight IN the
evening, and breakfast at am. IL is
also stated that no one has a claim on
the steward for victuals at any other
time Dn Inn.n.
A careful examination Of the above
advertisement discloses many points Of
comparison with the rates Of travel Of
the present day. According to the
schedule of 1908, aud taking into consid.
Grafton the depreciation Of money, the
fare by steamboat in ls73would be four
teen dollars, while now the fare by rail
is only three dollars, and by boat one
dollar and half. AS to waiting two
hours for the boat, and calculating by
rule Of three the arrival al an intermedi-
ate point, passengers at the present day
would become frantic.

The Secret Commissioner Of the New
York Herald to Free Cuba" or that
part Of the island held by the insurgents,
gives, among reports Of skirmishes, an
interesting account of the habits and
customs of the inhabitants. Thus the
rancho is described as a hut, with a
sloping palm branch or Guinea-grass
covered roof, supported on stakes and
posts driven into the ground, near to
which the roof descends. Itis generally
open all round; but sometimes the sides
are closed in the same way as the roof.
The two center posts at the ends are es-
pecially designed to have the hammock
swung from them. 1t is high enough for
a man to stand comfortably upright, and
large enough for two persons. Our
meals consisted of dried beef, boiled or
stewed, with sweet potatoes. 1t fre-
quently happened that there was no
meat, when we fell back on the great
staple food of the Republic-jutia y bo-
niatos.
The iutia is an immense wood rat,
weighing from six to twelve pounds, liv-
ing in the clefts Of trees and eating only
vegetable food, This little animal,
cooked with boniatos, or sweet potatoes
makes very good substitute for ordinary
butcher meat. These two staple articles,
when all others failed, kept together the
souls and bodies of the hungry patriots
and infused life into the revolution.
Our bed was formed of four forked
stakes at convenient distances, driven
into the ground. Across the shorter
sides of the parallelogram stout stick
was laid on either end, resting across
the forks. A sufficient number of young
saplings was then provided and laid
lengthways over the frame. These sap
lings formed the bottom Of the bed. The
sticks were bound together with withes
of the demajagua, the bark of the ma
iagua tree, which furnishes a fbrous
material that is manufactured into ex-
cellent ropes. Over the bottom of my
bed was placeda large piece of yagua,
fbrous substance shed with the monthly
branches Of the royal palm. 1t is often
six or seven feet long by two or three
feet wide, nearly as tough as leather,
and in Free Cuba serves quite as many
purposes. Over the yagua was spread
my hammock and my saddle bags form
ed very good pillow,

CnriOus Facts Concerning the
Great Ghi&eh Pyramid,

The recently discovered cornerstone
of the great Ghizeh pyramid, the first
and largest of the Egyptian pyramids,
was found by the discoverer, an English
clergyman, to have the same remarka-
Bile relations to geometry that had been
ascertained by the Astronomer Royal of
Scotland and many other mathemati-
clans, to exist in the pyramid as whole
and in various of its parts. The cor
ner-stone, which has ESCAPED, by being
covered, the general stripping Of the
stone facing of the pyramid, was found
in stu, to measure multiples of the pyr-
amidal cubit "a little more than
twenty-five inches-in all its lines, and
the angle Of its outer slope, to express
with mathematical accuracy, the ratio
of the diameter to the perimeter Of a
circle. The pyramidal cubit is exactly
0.O000000l of the shortest radius OF
the earth, and the hight of the restored
pyramid 222 cubits, the 0.000000O00l
Of the distance of the sun from the earth,
according to the lately corrected value
of this distance. Similarly the so-called
sarcophagus inside the pyramid has
been found to be an accurate measure of
contents, based on the pyramidal cubit.
A relation to the mean density of the
earth is also found to exist, and it is a
curious fact that the unit of measure
adopted by the builders of the pyramid,
supposed TO be 5000 years old, and to have
been erected by race anterior to the
historical Egyptians, possesses a geo

in the French one, which, as is known,
is not what its designers intended it to
be. in exact decimal relation with the
meridian, owing to errors in the arc.
Whoever the builders Of the Chizeh pyr-
amid, astronomy must have been far ad-
vanced among them to enable them to
calculate the distance Of the sun at the
amended irgure to which it has been re-
duecd only within the last three or four
