BERLIN, Aug. 5-The success of the
seronaut L'Hoste and his companion I'm
making in balloon the journey across the
channel from Cherbourg TO London, has
caused 10 little excitement. II is the first
successful attempt to reach point deter
mined on beforehand. Germany and Rus
sia have both for some time been pushing
forward experiments in flying machines
for use In war or otherwise. They ignore tho
idea Of the inflated gas bag, which is unor-
nous in size, difficult to fill in war, and
floats at the mercy Of every current of air,
huge mark for the first gunner who can
hit and bring 1t to the ground. Baumgar-
ten, In Germany, and Baranovski, In Rus
sia, have adopted the principle of the in
clined plane pressed against the oir and
thus capable Of making some attempt, at
least, to regulate its own course. In the
kite the force that presses the inclined
plane is the hand of the boy acting through
the string. In the sail of the boat the re-
sstance of the water to sidelong motion
keeps the sail pressed again the wind; in
the flying machines of Baumgarten and
Baranovski the pressure is given by an en-
gine carried by The machine and acting by
means of fans. The difficulty was the
weight of the engine and fuel, but with the
developments Of practical knowledge of
electricity accumulators have been built
which supply the maximum of weights. If
the attempt should prove successful, the
problem of flying in still air would be
solved. But whether men shall ever be able
to ride the storm is another matter.

ByrrALo, N. Y, Aug. s.-The turbulent
waters Of the Niagara whirlpool rapids
were again navigated in a cask to-day, the
perilous feat being successfully accom-
piished by VIM. Potts and Geo. Hazlitt,
two coopers, who were employed in tho
same shop with Graham, who made the ini-
tial trip about three weeks ago. The barrel
boat was ten feet long conical in form and
built of the best locust staves It was sup
piled with a keel, rudder, screw wheel and
a turret with glass covered peep-holes.
About 300 pounds of sand ballast kept it
right side up most of the time. The two
men lay back to back while passing
through the more turbulent waters, cling
ing to handles made fast to the sides of
the cask. Each man likewise kept on his
own side of the cask by means of canvas
sling made fast to staples. The start was
made from the Maid of the Mist landing
on the Canada side. row boat
towed the cask to point just above
the Cantilever bridge, where 1t was turned
adrift in the middle of the stream. The
novel craft was submerged about half the
time while passing. through the rapids, but
while circumscribing the outer circle of
the whirlpool its occupants thrust their
heads through the opening and Potts calm
ly smoked cigar A successful landing
was made at Queenston, on othe Canada
side, five miles further down the river.
The entire voyage occupied fifty-fve min
utes. The feat was witnessed by not less
than IL, ,OO0 spectators.

Bar bed Wires Rival.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6.-Charles Rogers. a
Pittsburgh mechanic, has just patented a
device which it is said will revolutionize
the barbed wire fence business. The in
vention is for barbing metallic strips about
three-quarters of AN inch wide. The ma
chine barbs cut ranging from one-quarter
to one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness.
A machine capable of producing sixty
miles of this barbed metallic strip per day
can be built for $500. Machines for the
tically owned by monopoly, cost s35, 600
apiece and are only capable of producing
thirty miles of the wire per diem. A COM

Prisoner Cutting Makes an Appeal TO tho
Governor Of Texas.

Ell PAso, TEX, Aug. 9.-Editor Cutting
received information yesterday that he
would be taken to Chihauhau on the south
bound Mexican Central train. He feared
that he would be massacred on some pre-
text If they took him away from the bor-
der, and his friends have busted themselves

Texas:

ting in the face of peremptory demand of
the American Government for his instant
release, has produced profound sensation
here, and has occasioned exciting comment
and much uneasiness in Ell Paso The feel
ing is prevalent that our Government has
taken position that it can not back down
from and that war is certain.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Secretary Bayard,
speaking to special correspondent last
night of the Cutting case, said he saw no
reason why satisfactory adjustment of
the difficulty should not be reached. He
has been assured that such was the de-
sire of the Mexican G ,vernment. Mr..
Bayard himself feels strongly in the
matter, and said with much impressive
ness that he considered the princi-
pie involved in the Cutting affair to be one
of the gravest Importance, and one as to
which the whole country, without reference
to party, should be a unit. The personal
merits or demerits of Cutting himself has
nothing to do with the matter. 1t made
no difference whether he was an angel of
darkness or an angel of light, but it did
make the greatest possible difference to the
American people whether the contention
raised by the State Department in his case
should be maintained or not
