which merits its name even at the hour when
its inhabitants are, or rather. ought to be in

prompted TO make n halt over the French.
capital. and the 'Albatross descended to
with q few hundred feet of the city. Robur
and the crew left their cabins to breathe the
fresh soft air that was blowing across the
deck, and Uncle Prudent and his companion,
recognizing the admirable opportunity to ac-
complish their design, also appeared on deck.
They endeavored TO isolate themselves from
the crew. as it was necessary hat their ac-
lions should escape observation.
The Albatross," like a gigantic beetle,
slowly crossed the great city. following the
boulevards brilliantly illuminated by Edison
lights. They could hear the sound of car
riage wheels rumbllng over the streets and
the putting of the trains on the tracks coming
into Paris from all sides. Then the air-ship
passed from the steeples of the Trocadero to
the metal tower of the Champ du Mars, whose
enormous refiectors bRthod the capital in a
HOOl VI CltSlIlS ilkhls
This aerial promenade, or nocturnal stroll,
lasted for about an hour. Robur resolved to
give the astronomers Of Paris q sight of a
meteor which they had not predicted. The
air ships electric lights wero started into
activity. Two streams Of dazzling light
played on the squares, gardens, palaces and
the sixty thousand houses of the city, and
| great waves of light swept from one horizon
10 the other.
The "Albatross" was seen; not only seen,
but heard as well, for a triumphant blast
from George Kerns's trumpet sounded over
the astonished city. At this moment Uncle
! Prudent, leaning over the side, opened his
hand and let the snuff- box fall.
In a few minutes the "Albatross" ascended
rapidly.
Then into the heights Of the Partisan
heavens rose an immense hurrah from the
already large crowd assembled on the boule-
vards-A hurrAh of Stupefaction addressed to
the fantastic meteor mounting the sky above
them. Suddenly the lights of the Air-ship
were ~eItinRuished, and surrounded by dark.

IN A POLAND DUNGEON.
Kempinski an American Citizen
Still Languishes There.

~ Az m Eva DNhD
BRIpGEPoRT, Conn, Feb. ~. Another
letter has been received here from Mrs. Her
man Kempinski, whose husband, an Ameri-
can citizen, is still languishing in q Poland
prison.
Kempinski's only offense is his failure to
serve time in the Russian army as required
by the nations law before coming to the
United States aud becoming a citizen.
The letter tells Q pathetic story of Kempin-
skis present condition and surroundings.
The quarters assigned him, although not as
wretched as those in SOM Russian prisons.
are far from comfortable and the fare is very
coarse and meagre. The devoted wife OBJ
tanned the consent of the authorities to visit
her husband frequently, and three times
daily she visited his cell, carrying him food
delicacies.
The man, however. is in such a profoundly
depressed state over his situation that he eats
ated that it is feared he will not live until
May l, the time appointed for exiting him to
Siberia.
Although she does not no explicitly state,
the impression prevails among Kempinski's
friend in this city that most of the large sum
which Mrs. Kempinski says she has spent in
behalf OF her husband, went TO purchasing
from Russian officials the privilege of free
access to her husband.
KempinskI g~rieves over what he terms his
foolishness in coming to Russia, but he had
implicit faith that his American citizenship
would shield him from harm.

tho chances were that it would not be found.
below, the chances are that it would fracture
his skull and render the two colleagues open
to a charge of manslaughter. But the
two members of the Weldon Club were des-
perate, and nothing else on board Offering
itself as suitable for their purpose they had
decided to use a bottle. when Uncle Prudent
suggested another plan. Uncle Prudent, as
We know, was a snuff -taker, and as a matter
of course owned n snuff box, which was now
empty. The snuff-box was made of aluminium
and stronger than a bottle, Once thrown
out of the Z" Albatross" it might be discov-
cred by some honest citizen, who would carry
it to the bureau of police. where they would
take charge of the document which made
known the situation Of the two victims Of
Robur the ~Conqueror.
The work was soon performed. The note
was short, but told all, and, giving the adj
dress of the Weldon Club, requested that the
document should be forwarded to that instI-
tuition.
Then Uncle Prudent inclosed the note and
wrapped the snuff box up in thick bands of
linen, 70 break the force Of the fall on the
earth. There was nothing further but TO
await a favorable opportunity to cast the box
over the side unobserved. In reality this was
the most difficult part Of the operation, as
over since their attempt TO escape they were
closely watched. Besides. they had to take
precautions against throwing the box into any
sea or lake.
The "Albatross," after leaving Norway,
had headed toward the south. following the
line of longitude which forms the meridian
of Paris, and crossing over the North Sea,
not without astounding and terrifying those
on board the thousands of vessels plying be-
tween England, Holland, France and Bel
GUM. No use of sending down their message
now, and the two colleagues were obliged to
wait for q more favorable moment. However,
an excellent occasion was soon presented.
At 10 o'clock that evening the "Albatross "
reached the shores Of France. The night was
very dark. For an instant they could zoe the
lighthouse Of Gris-Nez on one side Of the
Calais strait minglinR its electric rays with the
Dover light, Vhich lowered on the other side,
and the "Albatross" crossed the coast into
the French territory, maintaining a height of
8, 900 feet. The speed had not been moder-
ated. The air ship darted like an arroNApver
the cities, towns and villages, so numerous
! in the rich provinces OF Northern

reached the Neva and st. Petersburg at two in
the morning. and during the next ten hours
had crossed the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic
Sea, Sweden and Norway. Finally, when
over the famous Rjukanfos Falls in Norway,
the course of the "AlbGtross" was suddenly
changed to the south.
During this long and wonderful fight
Frycollin remained quietly in his cabin,
sleeping as best he could, except at meal
times, which he attended with his customary
promptitude. Francois Tapage visited him
at intervals and appeared to Thoroughly enjoy
the negro's fright
well, my boy" asked he, during one of
his visits, how is it you do not cry now !?
1t is a pity you are not in the basket now, as
at the rate we are now going there is an ex-
cellent draught of air for your rheumatism. "
This bird is going to pieces, and We are
lost, " groaned Frycollin.
Perhaps 1t is, my brave Fry, but we are
going 30 fast hat we cannot fall"
do you think SOP"

In the meantime Uncle Prudent and Phil
Evans, who we're not the men to waste valu-
able time in useless determinations, were dis

10 them that escape was difficult, not to say
impossible. At the same time, if they were
unable to themselves set foot again on the
terrestrial globe, was it not possible TO ac-
quaint the inhabitants with the events that
had transpired since their disappearance, the
manner in which they had been captured and
held as prisoners on the "Albatross," and in
this way excite their friends to some action
that might free them from Robur's clutches ?

through the windows of their cage, perceived
their p~redicament, and the "Albatross" was
slowed up sufficiently to permit the two col

If ever Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans had
almost abandoned the idea Of flight it was
during the succeeding fifty hours. Robur
knew now that they had determined to es-
cape. and took extra precautions to prevent
them. Any attempt on their part now would
have been suicide. When one leaps from an

miles an hour he risks his life, hut when the
speed is almost one hundred and twenty
miles an hour it is certain death.
