A Second Methuselah.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10. For sew
the Monterey county hospital an Ia-
dian known by the name of "Old
Gabriel" Asio the exact day, month
or year of his birth proof is absent
but of the fact that he has passed the
wonderful age OF $50 years there Is 4
qusntity Of proof. Gabriel was born.
In Tulare county, but during child
hood moved 10 the town Of Mou-
terry. Father Junipero Sierra ar
rived In Montery In ITO, and It Is
authenticated that at that time Ca
briel as grandfather. The young
eat age at which an Indian married
was fifteen years old. If Gabriel
followed the custom and married at
that age he would necessarily have
been thirty-two or thirty-ihree years
old TO have been grandfather at
the time of Father Junipero's land
ing there. Father Junipero taught
the art of cutting and laying stone
and at the time of the building of the
first chapel in the years of I'LL and
l772 Gabriel assisted in the construc-
ton OF the wall. He became so ex-
pert at his trade that managed and
assisted In the construction OF the San
Antonio Mission in 1881. lie was
then married to his second wife. Ga
briel still speaks proudly Of the skill
he acquired as stone-cutter. Fla h.
err Sorrentinia, the priest, aud Bishop |
Amat reached Montery some { lime in |
the year 1886. The former says that |
old Gabriel was then living with his
sixth wife and he was by many years
the senior OF all the old Inhabitants.
He was then known by the same
name and was said to be at that time
over ITO years Of age. A widely
know old lady by the name Of Castro,
who died died five years ago at the
age ofDinety five, 10 testifying TO old
Gabriel's age, said that " hen chi d
she saw old Gabriel, and that at that
time he had children several years
older than she then was. Gabriel
remained at Old Capitol until few
Years ago, when LIE removed to Sal
mas Valley, where he has
been sojourning ever since. Up to
within two or there years he was a
familiar figure on the streets of
Salinas City, but now he is rarely
,een, as his trips from the hospital
to the town are becoming less FREE
quent. He hasa coat made Of cloth
representing all the colors of tho
rainbow.

can safely say, without idle COM
pliment, that the former are brighter

by degrees, and under these ia
yorable conditions for general oh
servatioD, some of the causes of the
peoples happy spirit Of independence
began to be revealed 10 me. The
simplicity of their lives, IN which
enters no selfish rivalry to Guido one
smother, accounts In large measure
for this enviable results. Regarding
ie another very much as belonging
to one family, their mode of life Is
more or less on the same plane, and
consequently spirit of great hsr-
mony prevails. A very small income
is sufficient to supply the ordinary
necessaries Of life, aud everything else
is secured with but little effort
Household effects are few aud
inexpensive and should everything
be destroyed by fire or lost In any
way, IL is not an rirreparable cs-
lamity. All can be replaced Mt q
small outlay and life go on as before.

usualinterest aud Importance, being
contemporary accounts, by British
officers. Of the ex-Emperor's exile to

prominent passages Of his career.
The Lincoln installment Is Gro wded
with absolutely new material, and
has to do mainly with Lincoln's trium-

The Campbell Air-ship..


Scientific American
Shortly after lOo'ciock on the morn
Ing of July 18th, e. ID. Hogan, al
aeronant OF considerable previous
experience, made an asc ,Dt frou
Brooklyn 10 an airship. This air.
ship is the invention Of Mr.. Peter q
Campbell, Of Brooklyn, and had, u:
Its most prominent feature, an ovoid'
shaped balloon, about sixty feet Ia
Tenth, made Of fine Japanese silk i'm
ported expressly for the work. e..
pecial interest was felt in this AS.
cension from the fact that it was
claimed that the aerouaut would, with
the various mechanisms provided, be
able to control the movements of the
balloon so as practically to navigate
the air, moving in any direction with
or against the wind. aud at q greater
or less elevation, as desired. an at
tainment which had, apparently
been achieved in some brief trials
had last year at Coney Island. The
ascent was made from the works OF
the Nassau Gas Company, where a
pipe from a large meter was con-
nected with the balloon to supply the
lifting power. The meter showed
that l5,027 feet Of gas were used, the
balloon being filled at about 10
o'clock when the ropes were tested
aud some sand bags attached to the
network and placed in the car. The
start was made in southeasterly di.
rection, owing to q brisk wind
from the northwest, although the
aeronaut was seen to be vigorously
turninga crank which kept the steer
| ig apparatus and propelling wheels
revolving rapidly, with the evident
Intention to compel the ship to lace
the wind. When about a mile dis
tant, the bottom wheel, intended To
raise and lower the ship, became de-
tached and fell to the ground. An
hour after the start the air ship was
seen to be full under way toward the
Atlantic Ocean, on the south side Of
Long Island, and at an elevation
estimated to be several thousand feet.
The suspended car and attachments
were reported to have had the ap-
pearance Of being greatly disar-
rangei, and II appeared as though
man was clinging to the netting OF
the balloon. At II 80, or about two
hours after starting, the air ship van
ished from view. From this time
the accounts Of the voyage OF the boat
reported sighting big, yellow, oval
shaped balloon dragging 10 the oc,sn,
late in the Afternoon OF the 10Th, "a
miles southeast OF the eastern end OF
Long Island. Chase was given, but
when within three'qusrt Of mile,
the balloon broke away down TO the
surface OF the water and scared away

Work of the Fish Commissioners.

The United States Fish Commission
steamer Albatross, has sailed from San
! Francisco, CAL, upon her work of eX'
! ploration of the southern coast of Cali
4 fornia. Captain Tanners report of the
Investigations in Alaskan waters during
the summer, has been received by the
commissioner, and IS now being rapidly
! put in shape for publication.
The United States Fish Commission
steamer Fish Hawk, and United States
Fish Commission schooner Grampus,
are both now en- route for southern wat
ers, the destination of the Fish Hawk
being Charlotte harbor, Florida, where
she will rendezvous for two months tG
come. The specific ob;; ect of her work
will be 10 develop fish cultural methods
rs applicab e to the more important food
species of the southern Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, special attention being given
to the mullet, which, from its abundance,
constitutes the Inost important fishery
resource OF that region.
Tho Grampus will be engaged in in
vestigating the offshore fishing grounds
of the gulf region, with q view to deter
mining their location and extent, and
the abundance of the fishes that may be
lOlnu bu0Tt.
The three distribuiings cars OF the
commission are now in active service.
Car No. is completing the distribution
of carp to the extreme Southern and
Southwestern States and Territories;
car No. 2 is at Worthwhile making distri-
button of the yearling trout, reared there,
to the waters of Michigan, Ohio, India
na, Iowa, and Kentucky; car No. B
leaves Woods Hol to-day with shipment
of Holsters for stocking the waters of the
northwest coast, in the region of the
Columbia river and Puget sound. 1t
will also stop Mt Sandusky, for five mil
lion white fish eggs, 10 be transferred to
and Matched out at Portland, Ore, and
planted in lakes Pend d'Oreille and
Occur d'Alene, at the headwaters of the
Columbia river.
Fish-cultural work with the cod and
other marine species is now at full tide
of operation at Gloucester and Woods
Holl, Mass. Earlier in the season it
was much embarrassed by various causes,
more particularly the violent storms
upon the coast, which have interferel
with both the taking of eggs and their
successful Matching. Cod eggs are be-
ing taken now in large numbers at the
Gloucester station, the daily collection
amounting sometimes to more than five
millions Washington S'ar.
