A Thrilling Leap OF Ninety Feet.

IRON the ST. raul flOnctf E1c>s.I
A consumptiye-looking man, with no.
thing to indicate that he belonged to the
race of inspired idiots, elbowed his way
through the crowd on Bridge Square about
i. NJ. yesterday, and walking TO the GEN.
tire OF the iron span on the Wabash-street
bridge-where from the rail to the water is
a distance OF fully ninety feet-proceeded
coolly to diyest himself OF coat, hat, panta-
looms, vest, and shoes, which he turned
over to confederate. He stood for
few moments, revealed in a suit Of tights,
then quickly mounted the outside rail, gave
slight cheer and leapcd straight outward.
A cry OF horror went up from those OF the
crowd who, attracted by the unusual pro-
ceedings, had watched the mans actions,
and all held their breath as faster and faster
he sped through the air, bis arms held
closely to his sides and his feet as firmly
held together as if bound with iron. He
struck the water human wedge, and Glove
its depths in instant disappearance, but. to
the surprise OF the On-lookers, soon came TO
the surface, and the strong current with
him, struck out slowly down stream, and
in comparatively short space landed at
the lower leyee. Here he was met by
policeman, who saw nothing heroic
IN the affair, and incontinently marched
him TO the station, where he Is now con-
hned TO answer to charge OF disorderly
conduct. The fellow gives his name as c.
III. Morton, calls himself citizen OF the
world, and AYERS that he has often made
more dangerous leaps--notably from one Of
the Thames bridges In London, and from
the "big bridge" at st. Louis, and makes
plum by betting on bis ability and Sam
Pateh-like daring. lie says, further, that
few days ago he leaped from the tower
bridge at Minneapolis, and then and there
laid wager that he would. DO the same
from the ST. Paul structure. lie wasn't
even bruised.

LUMINOUS fAST-sTRiKING EFFECTS PRO
pUCEp IN THE DARK.

pUcEp IN THE DARK.
About year ago an English chemist dis
covered a process by which a phospho-
rescent powder could be incorporated with
oil 50 as 10 produce paint which, applied
10 various substances, would render them
not only visible in the dark, but cause them
TO emit considerable amount Of ditfused
light.
A paint OF this description has been for
ee1ne time manufactured by a wel-known
palnt-house here, and Il has been applied 10
several useful purposes. II Is not MS well
adapted TO general use in as great a variety
"a forms as IL was at inst expected. 1t Is
believed, however, that improvements can
be made in its composition and application
which will make II OF great value.
A reporter called at the Office Of the house
Ia question in order to investigate the mat
Ger as far as possible, and was shown num-
Der Of interesting experiments with the lu-
gain0us paint. A perfectly dark room has
been made In the building for the purpose
Oi exhibiting The peculiar effects produced
by the paint. In the ceiling Of this room
are traI-dools and various appliances for
fIle better display OF practical tests.
The gentleman III charge OF this depart
mest, after first explaining that the COM
position Of the paint was secret, gave a
OF the method Of application,
snd OF the theory Of lis diffusion Of light,
rs follows:
The powder, which Is the basis Of the
may be mixed either In oil or In
