Chasing MeteOrs.

We caution our readers to put no re-

come very near those who were startled
by them. We were fooled once, about
thirty years ago, by one of these brill
liant wanderers misplace. 1t passed right
over the Litchfield fairgrounds appar-
emily, and struck the earth over on
Chestnut Hill. We were so fully con-
WINGED that it buried itself in Litchfield
soil that we cogitated upon the advisa-
-bility of going over to unearth the
thing.
"Pshaw, Joe," said the good old
father, when we reported the matter on
our arrival home, "it was more likely
hundreds of miles away" 1T can't be,
father" we replied; H. B. Graves
saw it and said he should think it passed
over John H. Hubbard's house, or at
least not farther down than the fair
grounds. Why, father, we heard It'll"

weakened our faith in our ability to
calculate on meteoric distance. The

reported having seen it 1900 miles out

STRUGGLE WITH DEATH.
The Extraordinary Case Of Calvin
Pease, Which Is Puzzling
the Surgeons.
A Wonderful Instance of the Tenac-

Destruction.
Lsan Antonio special to Chicago Daily News

Lsan Antonio special to Chicago Daily News.l
Calvin Pease, a small farmer living at De-
vine, station on the International & Great
Northern railway, was blasting we'll a few
weeks ago. He was sixty feet below the sur
face of the ground when he fred his last
cartridge in the world. He was engaged in
what is technically known Us camping
is, he had inserted his dynamite and was
pounding in gravel around it to tighten and
give the explosive greater purchase. Some
slip OF the long iron bar which he welded
fired the dynamite. His family heard the
report and, noticing his failure to ascend,
ran to the we'll in alarm. PeAring down they
saw him in erect posture, leaning against the
side of the shaft. A rope was lowered and
with his remaining good arm he managed
to fasten himself somehow aud was hauled to
the top. He was placed in a common country
wagon and driven tlirty-three miles over
horrible roads to this city. He was placed in
the hospital and lived week. Taken all in
all-the character of the agent which injured
him, his distance from succor, the tremendous
strain to which he was subjected, his CHASTITY
wounds, his utter sang froid, his entire reten-
ton of consciousness and the length of time
for which he lived-he furnishes, probably,
the most remarkable instance Of the tenacity
of life under brain destruction to be found in
the medical records of any country. So re-
markable was it that members of the Wes
Texas Medical Association daily receive let
ters from prominent surgeons in every part

Making CellulOitl.

While everybody has heard of, OF
seen, or used, celluloid, only q few
know what il is composed of or how it
is made. The following is description
of the process carried out in a factory
near Paris for the production of cellu-
loid.
A roll Of paper is slowly unwound,
and at the same time is saturated with
q mixture Of five parts of sulphuric acid
and two parts Of nitric acid, which falls
upon the paper in fine spray. This
changes the cellulose of the paper into
pyroxylin (gun cotton. The excess of
the acid having been expelled by press
ure, the paper is washed with plenty
of water until all traces of acid have
been removed; it is then reduced to a
pulp, and passes on to the bleaching
trough.
Most of the water having been got
rid of by means of strainer, the pulp
is mixed with from twenty to forty per
cent. of it's weight Of camphor, and the
mixture thoroughly triturated under
mill stones. Tho necessary coloring
having been added in the form Of pow
der, a second mixing and grinding fol-
lows.
The finely divided pulpis then spread
out in thin layers on slabs, and from
twenty to twenty-five of these layers
are placed in a hydraulic press sepa-
rated from one another by some sheets
of thick plotting paper, and are subject
to pressure of $50 atmospheres, until
all traces of moisture have been got rid
of. The matter is then passed between
rollers heated to between 14O degrees
and $50 degrees F., whence it issues in
the form OF elastic sheets.-Boston

PhotograpIling Bullets in Motion.

An Austrian physicist, Herr Il. Mach
of Prague, has made some interesting
experiments on photographing rifle
bullets in motion by means Of the cleo
trio light. In doing this he illumines
the bullet by letting it break an electric
current formed, but the velocity of the
bullet must exceed that OF sound, in
order that the conditions OF the air be-
fore and behind the projectile can be
shown.
After many experiments, Herr Mach
succeeded in photographing proiectiles
fired by Mr.. Wernal and Mr.. Jurdo's
guns, having respectively an initial
velocity of f3S and $50 metres per sec
ond. The photographs thus obtained
showed an air formation in front Of the
bullet having the form of an hyperbole,
whilst behind it almost vacuum was
formed, in which, when the initial
velocity was very great, there were
some curious spiral motions
On the whole, there appeared from
these photographs to be a great SINH
larity between the motion OF a body
through the water, and that of O pro-
jectile through the air.
