Podoscaphy.
The sporting column OF the Parls
Figaro wakes enthusiastic over the
podoscaph. France has not, generally
speaking. much to teach us in the way
OF aquatics; and yet, though the word
has found it's way into recent Englisn
dictionaries, it is impossible TO reel
warranted in assuming that the podo-
scaph is a matter of common KNOW
edge. For the benefit of the ignorant,
then, a podoscaph, as described by A.
Andren Marx, is a flat board. just pig
enough for a single adventurer, ualeu
upon u pair of small, skiffs; a minute
raft upon which any one who has the
knack of self balance may voyage up
and down rivers and along canals,
either crouching, kneeling or land
ing. If the wind be well behlnd
him, he may open an umbrella ana
is then carried along at the rate OF
steam.
Nor do these things exhaust the
p~odoscaph's advantages. A friend OF
M. Marx, so we are assured, harnessed
to his ~podoscaph a team OF twenty
ducks, who not only materially les
sened his labor, but supplied him
with a roast duck for supper When
ever, in his river voyages, he came to
a hating place insufficiently provided
"a very practical adaptation OF the
fancy of Cleopatra and the late King
of Bavaria for being drawn about by
swans. 1t seems that M. Marks poo-
doscapher Chat also is an English
dictionary world, having started Win
twenty ducks, came home with them
all inside him, which shows what a
healthy pastime podoscaphy must be.

History of the Spoon.
The spoon as we know it, is not an
invention of yesterday. In the mu-
seums and private collections OF
Europe may be seer many rare and
curious examples of this now indis-
pensable utensil of the table. The
earliest known specimen bearing a
date, was made during the reign OF
King Henry VII. OF course, spoons
were known centuries before that
monarch's ascendancy to his throne.
The spoon referred to is said to be Of
the purest gold, delicately modelled
and richly ornamented. 1t was in all
pAOObOAlltACo oOoiSAO0 " 6~
board of some royal parsonage, for il
those early and barbaric days the
common people sedulously es
chewed all such trumpery as forks
and.'spoons. "Fingers were.made before
forks they said, and zealously abided
by the maxim. The niceties Of table
etiquette now so universally practiced,
were either unknown or diligently ig-
nored by the majority, and not too
stringently adhered to by the daintiest
of mobiles and fine ladies. One Of the
earliest made spoons in existence is OF
lead, and was used in the perform
ance of some religious rite now obso-
lete. The finest display in the United
States of ancient spoons and other
astronomical tools is that of the Me-
tropolitan Museum of Art in New
York. In that storehouse of beautiful
objects can be seen spoons which an
tedate the Christian Era, side by side
with the work of the best English.

The Minnesota Legislature dis
played sound judgment and keen
foresight in first investigating the
Senatorial scandel before proceeding
to final vote. They purged them
selves Of ugly charges of corruption
and we're thus able to give General
Washburn title clear to seat IN
the United States Senate. The re
suit is creditable to the nominee
and his party, aud complete vindi-
cation of all concerned, save the
boilers, who violated caucus oaths,
and will be branded with ignominy

STRANGE DEATH OF DIR. VINCENT.
The Manager OF Chiffon springs sani.
iarIum AccidenfallY Hung.

The Manager OF Chiffon springs Sani-
tarium Accidentally Hung.
DR.. Frank II. Vincent, Of the famous
Clifton Springs, n. ", sanitarinn, died on
Sunday In very peculiar manner.
For some time past DIR. Vincent had
been experimenting with an instrument
known as "the Sayre suspension ap-
paratus." II consists Of n wooden tripod
about eight feet high, from which IL sus-
pended by means Of compound puIleys an
iron cross bar. From this cross bar straps
descend, which support the patient
by the chin and back of the head.
Tho instrument, rs originally devised, was
used for the suspension Of patients while
plaster jackets were applied TO tho spine.
the apparatus has been extensively used In
the United States for the treatment by sus-
pension Of various spinal complaints. On
Sunday morning DO went to the bathroom
and took his bath, telling an attendant that
he was going to try the tripod suspension
on himself to note its effects. He had also
told two of his patients tho same thing.
After his bath he was particularly cheer
ful and happy. lie wrapped his bath robe
about him, and ran lightly up one flight OF
stairs to his Office. Not long after his lifeless
body was found hanging from the tripod,
II IL supposed that the doctor al justod the
belt under or around his chin, where II was
loosely buckled. Then he lowered himself
and, losing his hold of the rope, II flow NJ
to the apex of the machine beyond his
reach, while the pad, instead of resting on
his chin, drew up owing To his weight over
his mouth and nOstrils. II IN believed that
n person in the condition In which he was
found after three minutes would not have
tho power to help himself, for he had moi
properly arranged the instrument.

The life Of Bishop, the mind reader, Is
finished and the impression left is by no
means pleasant one. He had schooled
himself TO an unnatural usc of mysteri-
ous power Of mind or sense which ena-
bled him to astonish men, but produced
no other tangible effect. He does not
appear TO have ever given any clear
scientific idea of the process by which
he accomplished his wonderful but con-
temtibly triiling results, and yet his
whole soul was so wrapped up In the
finding of a handkerchief or some other
"test" that no sacrifice seemed too great
for success. AZ will do II If II kills me, "
he said to his medical friend who tried
to disuade him from the last and
fatal experiment, and yet this deed, so
readily balanced with human life, had
no other value than the wondering and
| doubling applause of few men. He
| knew that Il could bc done, for he had
often accomplished similar things.
| Stretched To its limits his so called mind
reading accomplished nothing of value.
II was the work of a man In an un-
healthy condition Of mind and body, and
his apparent power of reading unseen
figures was staggered by the simple con-
dtions for naming the number of n check
offered by the sceptical Laboucherc.
The fact that he did not amass great
wealth il striking. If would hardly I've
in human nature, and certainly not In
the Bishop variety of 1t, TO refrain from
using the power claimed for the accum'
ulation of wealth ON the stock market
or in the many ways in which II would
I've available. His wife declared hin
crazy and that seems the most charitable
judgment, while his deeds are only use
less marvels shown by sick man stag
gering along the edge Of a great mystery

The war ship Charleston arrived In San
Francisco on Monday night, from Santa
barbara, the builders deciding To return
with the cruiser To redress the slides of
the starboard high pressure engine before
giving her n second trial. The naval officers
detailed TO inspect the Charleston declare
that with the developed power of 800 she IL
one ofthe fastest fighting ships in the world.
During the seventeen minutes run of the
Charleston, in the Santa Barbara channel,
Saturday, the actual horse power devel-
oped was 5,223, mt which the average speed,
lst knots, was maintained with l07 revolu-
tions of the propeller. Soon after leaving
Santa Barbara on Sunday morning the
ship was driven Mt a speed of seventeen
and three-tcnths knots with tho natural
drafts and making easy steam. This was
with development of 4,7s0 horse power.
When off Point Conception tho thrust bear
ing of the port engine warmed up, and the
ship was stopped To examine 1t. AS soon
as the thrust caps had been taken oil,
cleaned and replaced she went ahead again
running at an average of " knots To 7g
revolutions until reaching San Francisco,
