Cozily nestled in the very tiniest little

little structure? A few weeks ago the
building was commenced. bat on such
a small scall that the foundation was
laid ere the site was discovered by US.
Soft putfs from the blossoms of oak and
chestnut, bits of the softest brown
fungus and scraps of gray moscss that
grow in secret places known only To
these little fairies, were worked into
the walls, and gradually the little cup
like house approached completion.
Little flakes of lichen and bard, veri-

PROFESSOR HOGAN leaped ffona
balloon at Jackson, Mich. The first
attempt at ascension was failure, bue.
the second one was a success, and the
air-ship soon reached hight of LOCO
feet. At this elevation the balloon
seemed to stand still, and by the aid
of glasses Hogan could be seen edg
ing over the side of the car. Suddenly
a cry went up, "He's jumped" ;" and the
crowd craned their necks to see the
man dash himself to pieces. The par
achute failed to work at first, and the
daring aeronaut was seen shooting to
earth with lightning speed. A mo
ment later, however, the umbrella
shaped life-preserver opened its wings
and Hogan's rapid descent was
checked. From that point he dropped
slowly and reached the earth safely in
four minutes at point about one and
one-half miles from the city. The
foolhardy man dropped 500 feet be-
fore his parachute opened properly.
