A Miners Superstition.

INIElHlN WY 'lllhuH w.
A reporter was talking with an old
miner few days ago, who implicitly
believed that no death ever took place
in the mines without warning OF some
kind. You see" he said, death
never comes of a sudden upon the men
in the mines. You reporters write up
accidents and how something gave way
or fell quick and killed somebody. Now,
this amt so. There's always some
warning, When sec my lantern begin

for a few days and then begins to wavcr
and flicker, l'Il watch it close to see
where it points, Now, you may set me
up for n fool, but what Pm tcllin' you

Heath has marked him. Some years ago,
when Bill Hendricks was killed in the
Savage, the flame Of my lantern pointed

at times the flames would stretch out
long and thin towards Bill At length
it gave a sudden flicker and Bill reeled

disappeared down the shaft, and while
he was bounding from side to side, dash
ing out his brains and scattering
his flesh down to the bottom, my light

With the chills and fever, the victim of
malaria may still recover by using the celc.
brated specific, Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which not only breaks up the most aggra-
waited attacks, but prevents their recurrence.
1t is infinitely preferable to quinine, not
only because it does the business far more
thoroughly, but also on account of its per-
feet wholcsomeness and invigorating action
upon the entire system, Testimony is con-
current. positive and ample showing the
decisive nature of its effects, and that it is
no mere palliative. Physicians concede its
excellence, and there is constant influx OF
communications from persons in every class
of society avouching merits, and bearing
witness to its superiority over other rene
dies for malarial disease. Ii is especially
popular throughout the West, wherever fe.
yer and aguc prevails, as it does in many Of
the fairesi and most fertile portions of that
vast region.

BallOOning In Arctic Regions.


Experiments made ut Scranton, Pa,
during the last few days are said to have
proved the practicability of the new
balloon gas generating apparatus OF Pro-
fcssor 5. A. King, The importance of
this apparatus depends upon its appli-
Cahility to ballooning in the Arctic re-
gions and Captain lIowgate is under
stood to be now satisfied on that point.
Professor Kings apparatus, which is
only sixty.six inches in diameter and
ten feet high, and can be easily carried
on a small ship, has the capacity to in
ilate balloon of ninety or one hundred
thousand cubic feet. Probably it will
be by the balloon that the discovery of
the North Pole will at last be made.
Even captive balloon, sent up from
the iurthcst available point, might ena-
Bile the observer in its car, with a good
telescope, to solve the problem of the
open Polar Sea, which DIR. Kane insists
he saw 50 clearly. 1t is easy to under
stand that such body of water as DR..
Kane describes might be open in an ex-
ceptiorably mild season, and closed
again with ice when the winter was
more severe; so that explorers, at diff
ferent times, would return with conflict
ing accounts concerning it. The open
water seen by DR.. Kane, and described
by him as tossing its blue waves, and
cleaning in the sunlight, might have
been an ocean, stretching clear to the
pole, or it might have been only lake,
opened at times and closed at others.
Explorations by balloons, either captive
or free, will probably crelong settle this
and other questions hitherto in doubt.

In order to reproduce the power of
l6,8OO,0O0 horses, or, In other words,
to pump back the water from be-
low to above the fall, would require
an annual expenditure Of not less
than 100000 tons of coal, cal
cuIated at an average Consump
ton OF four pound of coal per horse
power per hour, which amount is
equivalent to the total coal consumption
of the world, In stating these facts in
my inaugural address on assuming the
Presidency Of the Iron and Steel Inst
tute, ventured to express the opinion
that in order to utilize natural forces of
this description at distant towns and
centcrs of industry, the electric CON
ductor might be resorted to. This view
was at that time unsupported by expert
mental data such as ! have been able
since then to collect" DR.. Siemens
then shows what had been done in con
veying the electric light to Il distance;
and he states that " IF mechanical force
is required to be distributed, the ar
rangcments are in every respect similar
to those for the distribution of electric
light; and it has been proved expert
mentally that the amount of power re-
covered at the distant station is nearly
equal to half the power employed at the
central station" Even rs regards the
consumption of COAL were that
article used, DR.. Siemans shows that the
magneto-clectrc machine is cheaper
than the gas or steam engine. But he
rightly says; at would not be nee
essary to seek on the other side of the
Atlantic for an application of this mode
Of transmitting the natural force of fall
ing water, as there is perhaps no country
where this force abounds to a greater
extent than on the west coast of Scot
land, with its elevated lands and heavy
rain-falls. You have already conducted
the water Of one of your high-Icveled
lochs to Glasgow by means of a gigantic
tube; and how much easier would it be
to pass the water, in its descent from
lands through turbines, and to
transmit the vast amount of force that
might thus be collected, by means of
stout metallic conductors, to towns and
villages for the supply of light and
power"

Strange Suicides "A French Woman
Kills Herself Because her Dog Dies.
lPnII. Letler % the Dnltlmore GnLotte j

Paris Letter TO the Baltimore Gazette.
There have been some queer suicides
in Paris lately, but none stranger, nor,
to a certain degree, more touching than
that of an old woman, a lace member,
who hanged herself the other day be.
cause her dog, a beautiful little spaniel,
who had been her CONSTANT companion
for over twelve years, had fallen sick
and died, She was alone in the world;
she had neither child nor grandchild,
nor any near relative, and her dog had
been the only companion of her loneli-
ness, and so when the little creature died
her courage and her spirits failed her,
and she slipped out of the world to
which she was linked by no single tie Of
affection. Next we have the story Of q
married man, NJ, Y, who was living
with a certain Madame R., on the
Rue DIES Martyrs. The peace of this
irregular menage was sorely troubled by
Madame Y, who fancied she had
some claim on her lawful husband, and
threatened to resort TO legal proceedings
50 the tender lovers determined TO die
together after the usual French fashion,
namely, by asphyxiating themselves
with the fumes of charcoal. Mr.. Y
persuaded Madame R to take
dose or decoction Of p0ppes before
lighting the furnace, and IA soon As he
saw her stupefed by the effects Of the
narcotic he slipped quietly out, locked
the door on the outside, and suffered his
dearly loved companion to die alone.
But the law objected to such vigorous
demonstration Of common sense on his
part, and he has been arrested for

that no Partisan has yet thought of

one to accomplish, and the effect would

which your Partisan suicide dearly loves
to bring about. Perhaps the high price

with the neglect Of this very striking
method of sell.dcstruction, for n

Don't Quarrel.

People talk of lovers quarrels as
rather pleasant episodes-becau5e they
are not quarrels at all, 1t is half-play,
and they know it, Matrimonial quarrels
are another thing. We doubt seriously
if married people ever forgive each
other after the first falling out They
gloss it over, they kiss and make it up;
the wound apparently heals, but only
as those horrible wounds given in battle
do-to break out again at some uncx-
pected moment
The man who has sneered and said
cruel things to u sensitive woman never
has her whole heart again. The woman
who has uttered reproaches to II man
can never be taken to his bosom with
the same tenderness as before those
words were spoken. The two people
who must never quarrel are husband
and wife One may fall out with kins-
men, and make up and be friends again I;
but love, once banished, is a dead and
buried thing.

The Power of Niagara.

DR., Siemens, some months ago, in an
address which he then gave, referred to
the immense quantity Of power which
flowed ready-made over the Falls Of
Niagara, In his Glasgow address he
again referred to the subject, in order TO
show how this gigantic source of power
might be utilized to produce action at a
distance, When" he says, "ittle
more than n twelvcmonth ago visited
the Falls Of Niagara, was particularly
struck with the extraordinary amount
of force which is lost, as far ms the use
ful purposes Of man are concerned. One
hundred millions of tons of water fall

Singular Suicide.

One OF the most extraordinary at
tempts at suicide upon record is that
made by a resident of little village in
Italy, in 1905. He was insane on re-
ligious subjects and conceived the idea
of initiating upon his own person the
crucifixiOn of our Savior. He con-
structed within his lodging-room n
wooden cross, and provided himself
with nails, ropes, crown of thorns,
etc. Anticipating that he could not
easily nail himself to his cross, he made
a net which he fastened over it, secur-
ing it at the bottom of the upright
beam, so that it might partly sustain his
weight. He then assumed his crown OF
thorns, removed his clothing and girded
his loins with white cloth, wounded
his side with knife, and introducing
himself into the net, nailed his two feet
and his right hand to the cross. And at
the last he succeeded, by series of in
genious prearranged contrivances, in
swinging the cross, with himself upon
It, out at the window, 30 that it con
ironted the villagers AS they came out
the next morning. He was, however,
taken down and cured of his wounds,

There is something terrible in the thought
Of having our friends stricken down at our
side, without parting word of endearment
or consolation--one moment at our side in
the flush OF vigorous life, cheering our
hearts with their loving sympathy; the next
at our feet, pale with death, deaf to our cries
and needless OF our tears. Every excessively
fat person is in instant danger of such a
death. Seven tenths of the victims of obesity
die of heart disease or apoplexy. Allan's
