rs DONALDSON DEAD9
An Intima tion that the Bllloonist is
Still Living.
From the San Francisco Chronicle. ]

From the San Francisco Chronicle.]
Is Donaldson, the baiioonist, really
dead ? Such is the question under de-
bate among those cognizant of the Pro-
fessor's true character and selfish incli-
nations, and it is but just to affirm that
large majority of persons knowing the
man give it to be their deliberate opin-
Ion that, although the body of the I'M
fortunate reporter, his companion on his
presumptively fatal voyage, was found
and identified, and his note book, alb
ruptly closed, found OH the corpse, Don
aidson himself is still alive aud dwelling
in sobscurity beneath an assumed name.
1t will be remembered that Rarnum in
vented as an attraction to his show a
marriage in mid air, with the balloon
carrying the bridal party, beneath Don
aldson's management. On that occasion
the number of aerial voyagers seriously
incommoded the aeronanut who, in an
tlcipation of q disaster, informed them
thpt in the event Of danger to his own
life he would be compelled to toss them
one by one out of the basket rather than
have them all perish. Now neither the
corpse of Donaldson nor the slightest
vestige of his balloon has been discover
ed, and it is impossible that all traces
should have perished when the body of
the journalist was found in good preser-
Walton so shortly after the disaster. As n
clear demonstration of the Professor
being in the land of the living, it can be
proven that lady to whom he is believ-
ed to have been betrothed, incautiously
admitted the receipt of letters from Don
aidson long after the alleged occurrence
OF the balloon catastrophe. Consequent
ly it is fair to presume that to insure his
own safety during moment of danger
he flung the reporter overheard, reaching
terra frma is safety, and, after destroy
ing his balloon, is hiding himself to avoid
the penalty of his crime.

HABTT.-It is difficult to break up es-
tdblished modes of action, and turn the
channel of ones activities in new direc-
tions, that If is not surprising that the
mature in life, who have suffered from
not being started right i'll the first place,
should lay rs they Rpa inclined to, great
stress on the importance of making in
all things good beginning. There are
a few habits which form pretty good
foundation for success in life and insure
the friendship of the discerning and vir-
tuous. First among them we would
place the hatsit ~ self-helg. This may
and should be formed In child before
it can walk or talk by providing resour-
ses. Then, as it grows older, it should
be taught, and gently compelled to per-
form in it's own behalf all that it can do.
Few of us but know young men and
young women perfectly helpless foF all
the ordinary uses of life. If they alone
were the sufferers it wouldn't matter
much, but they are social leeches, always
demanding service and never rendering
it. Good husbands, good wives, good
parents, rarely if ever are found in this
class OF people. Fheg are SO Iepeni4ant
upon others-so perfectly unused to the
graver uses of existence, that no reliance
can be placed upon them they are lit
tie use in the world. Parents, no moral
is needed look to your children ; en-
able them to be OF use for, unless they
possess this faculty, humanity is no bet
ter for having known them.

CLEARING LAND WITH DYNAMITE
Experience at clearing lands both in
removing stumps and boulders with dy-
Mantle, in Scotland, has proven success
full. The following account is given of
late trial, in an Edinburg paper: A
spadefui of earth was removed from the
side of the stump and hole driven into
the stump with q crowbar. Into this
hole a cartridge of dynamite was press
ell by means of a wooden ramrod, then
a decorating percussion cap, with a
Blaokford's 8 fuse attached, was squeezed
into a small cartridge or primer of dyna
mite, and inserted into the hole of the
trunk in contact with the charge. The
hole was filled up with loose earth, about
q foot length of the fuse being bare. A
match was next applied to the fuse, and
sufficient time was taken for the powder
to reach the percussion cap to allow the
operatives to retire to safe distance.
When the explosion occurred the trunk
was literally blown out Of the ground,
some of the fragments, weighing nearly
twenty pounds, being thrown to a dis
dance of over a hundred yards. The
destruction of the stump was complete.
In breaking up the boulder stones, the
dynamite was simply placed on the TOP
of the stone, covered with wet sand, and
fiyed with fbe f,1ca in tho ordinary NOV
The FesHlt was the Fedqesien Of the boul-
der to fragments the size of a walnut.
1t was eHectually proven by the expert
ments that land can be speedily cleared
of formidable distractions to good cul-
tvation by the use of dynamite, and the
committee of the society who watched
the operations expressed themselves as
highly satisfied with the results.
