Capt. Mackey's Luck.

Capt. Mackey is the proudest man
in San Antonio. Some weeks since
he sent a specimen of his clay to In
dianapolis to be tested as pOtters clay.
Yesterday he was exhibiting on the
streets a fine specimen of pottery, a
jug, rustic pattern, artistically deco
rated and has his own name on the
jug in raised letters. This article was
manufactured from the clay sent and
the manufacturer wrote that he want
ed to sell out his property in In
dianapolis and buy half interest in
the pOttery-clay beds at Calaveras.
This Captain Mackey will not sell but
he has written for the man to come
on and superintend the pottery manu-
facture plant which will be put in i'm
mediately. Capt. Mackey deserves
his good luck, and the LIGHT wishes
him the most abundant success. That
Calaveras property has millions in it.
The pottery clay lies below his sand
beds and not in connection with his
vast deposits of brick and fire clays.

revolutloniZe aerial navigation, Several
attempts have been made during the last
few months to test the power of the nov
el air ship, but no ascension was made
until last Tuesday morning. when the
balloon was inflated In the outskirts of
Brooklyn, and, with Prof. Hogan in the
car, started on voyage from which in
all probability 1t will never return. Its
steering apparatus broke loose immedi-
ately after the start, and tie aeronaut
must have lost all control of the ship at
the outset. a few honrs afterwards the
balloon was seen heading out to sea with
It's passenger sitting 10 the stern of the
car, and then no tidipgs came until the
pilot of an incoming steamer reported
that he had seen the air-ship far out at
sea, skimming along without an occu-
pant until the balloon finally broke loose
from the car aud sailed off in the clouds,
while the car sank in the ocean. What
has become OF Prof. Hogan, who had
previously made over 400 voyages. and
who was regarded as the foremost aero
naut in the world, no one knows. But
that lie met frighttul death can hardly
be doubted, and thus ends another chap

and thus another life is added TO the
long list of those given III the attempt to
