E. G. Canston, the proprietor of the
Norwalk ostrich farm, was in town yes
terday. Speaking of the birds, he said:
''They are all doing well, and 1 have no,
ticed n decided improvement in them
year by year. Their feathers are also
getting better, and this year are worth
90 per cent. more than what was given
last season. Hitherto 1 have been ship
ping the crop to San Francisco, but now
I am going to try Chicago, as better
prices are offered in that direction"
GAS far as ostrich farming in Southern
California is concerned" he continued,
'the days of experiments are over and
the business is pronounced a success.
The pioneers in the introduction of the
birds had so much to contend with that
at first it looked like running at a dead
loss all the time, but now very hand
some profits are being realized. A farm
is to be started near Santa Barbara in
the autumn by Mr.. Livingston. He has
already purchased some of his birds and
has brooded several chicks"
"What are ostriches worth nowadays?''
asked the reporter.
"a hundred dollars a pair for chicks
and 5000 n pair for breeding birds. Loo

His costumes have been something alb,
s~olutely gorgeous. The gold belt around
his waist is fastened with the big
gest emerald in the world. He wears
breastpins of enormous diamonds, be-
sides which he has a tremendous aigrette
of brilliants in his hat and strings of pre-
cious stone scattered all over him. A
man who understands such things saw
him at the opera and said that he would
be very glad to buy him as he stood for
100000 and return him next day un-
harmed minus his clothes. His majesty
wears, among other ornaments, the
sash of the Order of the Garter, to the
center OF which he has fastened his enor-
nous diamond called the Sea of Light.
The man who had valued his majesty at
81 100000 did not notice this at first, but
when he did he admitted that he was
willing to increase his price consider
ably.-London Cable.

1.-The Alstons die with their boots on
That was the constant boast of the late
Col. Bob Aston, famous throughout
Georgia as an editor and politician. His
grandfather and his father had died that
way, and n day after he had made
that boast he was shot to death. Not
long after this one of his boys committed
suicide in Washington, d. @. Today
another son was jailed at Lithonia, Ga,
with a charge of murder opposite his
name. A young Scotchman named VIII
son was killed in a Fourth of July Draw
there, and Aston is charged with the
crime. The prominence of Aston and
his family makes the case of particular
interest.-Atlanta Special.

There are two events. apart from the
exposition, about which all Paris is Cos
siping. Even the thousands Of visitors
know of and are interested In one of
these which promises to be more than a
nine days wonder. This Is the purchase
of n petticoat, n bona fde petticoat,
which was an indescribable combination
of silk, flowers and lace, and for which
was paid the fabulous sum of 10, 900
francs. Rumor has it that it was pur-
chased by al American Croesus, and
F%renchmen are con%gratulating them
selves that their country women, how
ever eccentric, never tempted them to
commit such n piece of extravaganza.
The Cruesus may ave some trouble with
the customs on his arrival in America,
AS the flowers and lace are put on this
now celebrated petticoat In such profu-
sion that n suspicion Of smuggling may
involuntarily find room in the mind OF
the m~atter-of-fact officer. But the pur-
chaser will 10 doubt be able to prove his
honesty of purpose in importing the ar
ticle. This petticoat, which actually sold
for the sum named above, is but an OK
aggerated example of those now worn
by women Of wealth and fashion Chi

A Diploma Not the Only Requisite.

The nineteen young men who have
been studying journalism at Cornell have
been pronounced graduates after n years
study and turned out to make their repu-
tation in the harder school of professional
work. The ease with which they learn
ed a business requiring the best efforts of
a lifetime by those who do not get to
Cornell will not be a bar to their advance
ment. In nearly any well managed office
they can now get three or four days work
on trial, at n salary which will about pay
their board, and if they show the skill of
any ordinary reporter they may eventu-
ally work their way upward. If they
don't they will go out the big front door
more quickly than they came, diploma
or no diploma. S~heepskin is all right in
its place, but in the newspaper business
it takes something more to make n mark.

A Valued War Relic.

Angelo Pacha, color sergeant of Com
pany G, First Michigan cavalry, under
Capt. Alexander, was in the battle of
Gettysburg. On the third day of the
fight when the bugle call sounded he
drank water out of his tin cup. He
placed it in the crotch of an apple tree
and joined his command and forgot all
about it. Last week he went to the bat
tletield and bought the tree for $25, and
had the tree cut up and carried to his
home. The cup was completely imbed-
ded in the crotch of the tree, and Angelo
prizes the relic beyond anything that he
owns. He was in the city yesterday
and gave away parts of the apple tree to
his old army comrades. Cincinnati En-

Arrest of French Bankers.

Considerable sensation was produced
in Paris a week or two ago by the arrest
of three well known bankers on the sus.
picion that they We're concerned with
the disappearance of a Swiss named
Caudrian. The latter had beer a serv-
ant of n Mime. Fessart, and at her death
received her fortune of 200, 900 francs.
His riches drove him demented, and
since he disappeared the bankers with
whom he deposited his money have been
arrested.-Chicago Times.

hibited at the popular Passage Panop-

nearly three yards high; she weighs

rapidly. She is very pretty, with large
dark eyes and n pleasant face, and in
h national costume Of the Don Cos
sacks, which consists of a red skirt, blue
jacket, long apron, embroidered in gold,
and necklaces of many c%olors, she cap

a Jumbo Among Chimney.

The tall chimneys erected by the Har-
grave and Globe yarn mills now bid fair
10 be eclipscd by one being erected at the
Fall River Iron Works company's mill.
The experts IN the heights of chimneys
say that it will be the second highest in
this country.
Instead Of hosting the brick and NOR
tar on the outside. as is commonly done.
an elevator is being built to run up the
interior Of the chimney. 1t is to be run
by n hosting engine by means Of n wire
cable. As thew work progresses the guides
for the elevator will be erected inside,
and the overhead work moved upward.
There will be / 500, 900 bricks used, and
the total cost will not be far from $40, 900.
The work on the foundation is com
pleted. 1t contains 1000 tons of Fall
River granite, held together with 200
barrels of Portland cement. The bot
tom stone is 8 feet below tide water and
the top one is Q feet above. The total
height of the chimney above the level
of the ground will be $40 feet. The
pressure on the foundation stones will
be two and n half tons per square foot.
At the base the stack will be square,, but
about 20 feet from the ground tho cor
ners Will be sloped away, and the whole
affair will rise in circular form into the
air, and in general outline will seem like
n gigantic baseball bat. Away up in the
air the chimney will be crowned by a
terra Gotta cap, each section of which
will be . feet thick. Other dimensions
are: Diameter at base, 80 feet; diameter
at head, 81 feet; diameter ut smallest
part, 10 feet 4 inches. The fue will be
IL feet in diameter.-Fal1 River Globe.

saulN IN THE SWITCH TOWER.
In Full Possession of Signals and Switches
Near PHILADELPHIA

In Full Possession of Signals and Switches
Near Philadelphia
A wild bear in possession of the signal
tower AMI running the trains on the New
York division of the Pennsylvania rail
road was the strange sight that nearly
drove the rightful occupants of the tower
into fits a few nights ago. The bear came
from the Geological garden, and the
tower was that just back of the garden
on the curve which the railroad makes
at that place.
E w. Rose, the telegraph operator in
the tower, and Samuel Foster, an assist
tant yardmaster, were doing in the
tower about 3 o'clock, Sunday morning,
when there came a soft pit-a-pat upon
the stairs. They did not notice it, nor
did they see a curly head that was poked
in at the door and looked ~curiously
around. Something in the inspection
may have displeased him, for suddenly
the men were awakened from their nap
ping by a deep growL
Before Foster, who was lying in a cor
ner, could get up the bear had put his
big paws around his neck and began to
squeeze him a~ffectionately. The terri
fed yardmaster shrieked, and the more
he shrieked the more the bear Rugged
him. Foster was beginning to grow pur-
pie in the face, when Rose, who had
recovered his presence of mind, started
in with n broom stick to vanquish the
bear. This drew his attention from
Foster, and an instant later Rose was
enjoying a vigorous hug. The hug lasted
so long hat Rose began to think his last
day had come. The hug still continued,
when the men suddenly remembered
that the early morning express from
New York was due and that the signal
had not been set for it.
'Give the signal to No. H." gasped
Rose TO his companion. Foster, who was
n very badly frightened man, managed
to crawl from his corner and see that the
signal was properly set. Then he grasped
he telegraph key, and while Bruin
looked on in astonishment he startled
every operator along the line by flashing
over the wires to Broadstreet:
"For Hea ven's sake send assistance to
No. 8 office. Grizzly bear in possession
of the tower. Has full control of signals
and switches. Send six men with rifles"
As the telegraph operator sank back
exhausted the bear left Foster and re-
turned to his first victim. He moved
slowly, and both men grasped the oppor-
tunity to jump over him and dash down
stairs. AS they turned the key in the
lock of the door at the bottom they
heard the bear thump against it. Rush
ing over to the Geological garden from
which place they supposed the strange
visitor had escaped, they yelled loudly
for assistance. Looking back on their
way they saw bruin in the tower trying
to move the switch levers.
A sleepy keeper was aroused after
considerable effort, and the party laid
siege to the tower. There was a pretty
struggle between keeper and bear for a
time, but the former came off victor.
The bear was led back to his pit and put
in irons. Foster has been off duty ever
since, and Rose still starts n~ervously
whenever he hears a football on the
tower stairs. Philadelphia Record.

THE AIR.
Carl Myers Thinks 1t VIII some Day BE n
Common Thing

Common Thing
Carl Myers, of Frankfort, n. Y, the
husband of Carlotta, the well known
feminine aeronaut, and identified him
self for the past twelve years with the
problem Of aerial navigation, who has
been n guest at the Wayne hotel during
the past few days, is what a theatrical
man might call an aeronautic manager.
He sometimes takes a little excursion up
into the cloud country to see if the ethe-
real regions look natural and if things
are all there, but not often. The ascen-
sions which he himself has made num-
Der only forty-four. He has, however,
a corps of star employed, and
contracts with county fairs and Fourth
of July celebrations to furnish balloons
and experienced air sailors at reasonable
prices, with satisfactory spectacular fea-
lures guaranteed. lie has also given at
tention to the improvement of the bal
loon, and fine muslin manufactured
from sea island cotton becomes, when
treated by n process invented by him; a
better material from which t. manufac-
ture air ships than silk. and much less
expensive.
AlAAAllAAAllb lit hdl WHICH, IlOllpDO-
listic individuals will control the aerial
trunk lines of navigation as well as state
legislatures and slower means of trans
p~ortation lower down, he has continued
Investing in aerial property, occasionally
laying by a balloon for n rainy day, until
he is now the owner of twenty-seven gas
air ships, besides n large number of hot
air balloons. His gas balloons are manned
by n crew of thirteen persons, and he has
a much larger number than that to run
his hot air contrivances.
The result of long study devoted 10 the
subject and an extensive experience has
been to make Mr.. Myers n believer in the
eventual practicability of navigating the
upper air. He is now the proprietor of
what is said TO be the only balloon factory
in the world, but he declares his convic-
ton that such concerns will some day be
as common as car shops or ship yards.
"Ihave Just perfected, " he said, "what
1 call an air velocipede, and shall give
public exhibitions of its capabilities in
the lei future. 1t is provided with n
reservoir containing sufficient hydrogen
gas to support the weight of one indi-
vidual. Then 10y means of n device oper-
uIeu ny tne nahu9 anu leet IL can De
propelled in any direction in the air de-
sired. Tho experiments already made
with the machine show its practicability,
and it is easier TO run it than it is to pro-
pei n bicycle on land.
"The same propelling apparatus on a
larger scale could, of course, be used to
navigate a great air ship, if n sufficiently
powerful engine, not too heavy to over
come the lifting power of the gas, could
be found to furnish the motive power. /

There has lately been invented a nee
system, which, it is claimed, will make
it cheaper to telegraph messages than to
mail them. DIR. j. Harris Rogers, of
Washington, ID. c., is the inventor, and
he claims that the world will be almost
revolutionized by his discovery. The new
system, Mr.. Rogers says, reduces the
English alphabet to ten elementary char
acters. TIL messages are prepared by
means of a machine resembling a type
writer and manipulated in the same
manner. With the use of ten keys, one
for each character, any desirable mes
sage can be written. A test of the new
apparatus was held in New York a few
days ago, and a message of seventy-six
words sent over in twenty-five seconds
and printed on a tape in plain Roman
characters. The inventor a y that he
can by this system make one wire do
the work that ten do now by the system
in vogue
