The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1890-12-17

An account which recently appeared
in The Novoe Yremya of n balloon voy-
age from st. Petersburg to a point not
far beyond Lake Ladoga conveys a
stalking picture Of the beaiShted con
dition of the Russian pcasantry, even
within a few hundred miles Of the
capital The balloon in question, con
tanning a Col Pomostzelf and Count
Covanko. descended at a place called
Moustoi, in the government of Oletz,
300 versts from St. Petersburg, and this
is what followed;
There was a general panic. The
peasants thought the anti-Christ was
descending from the sky, and that the
end Of the world was come. Women
screamed, children cried AMI all the
inhabitants were well nigh ont of their
wits from fear. Soon from the wood
came the women who had been gather
ing mushrooms, running as fast as their
legs could carry them. "a house, they
cried, has come down from the sky
with wonderful strangers in itr
The peasants thereupon hid them
selves in the village as best they could,
with the exception of "a few bold fellows,
who took their hatchets and cudgels
and proceeded cautiously to the forest.
1t was long before these latter, who as
sisted to convey the apparatus to the
village, could prevail upon their fellow
villagers to come out Of their hiding
places
The aeronauts spent the night in this
village, and in the morning marched
back, the balloon being packed on a
sledge, because there was not a wheeled
vehicle in the place.

A London metlnd.

London is covered with houses which
have been buddled together anyhow by
the speculative builder, on borrowed
money. and without much, if any, re
gard FOR the comfort or convenience OF
the persons who are doomed to inhabit
them How the thing is worked was
briefly explained the other day in the
bankruptcy court a receiving order
was made against a builder who began
business thirty years ago, admittedly
without any capital In due time he
became bankrupt. That, we may as
sumo, did not hurt him very much,
At any rate, we shortly afteFward find
him carrying on his business again, and
then in the course of another nine years
he once more found his way into the
bankruptcy court On that occasion
there WAS the cheerful payment of one
shilling in the pound-an unusually
large dividend under the circumstances
On he went again, more gayly than be,
fore. Then he worked" several build
ing estates with a firm of solicitors, but
somehow or other that did not answer.
and consequently that enterprising gen
tleman made his third appearance in the
court. Thus do the gods sometimes
prosecute those whom they love.-Lon

Jarrah wood forms the subject of an
interesting article in The Kew Bulletin
This wood, native Of western Australia
and IA species Of eucalyptus, has several
.aIuable properties which fit il for special
uses, but it is so hard that it cannot be
easily worked with ordinary tools. Were
it not for the fact that ships are now
mostly built Of steel jarrah wood would
form II valuable material for their con.
stuction, for vessels built Of it have after
twenty-five years service been found as
sound rs when launched although they
have not been sheathe1 with copper,
The Kew authorities have been in com
munication with some of the London
vestri 90, and as a result jarrah wood is
being tried in the London streets for
paving purposes. s..
