not do 1t unless very we'll accompanied.
Perhaps there is something of exagger-
alton in this. At all events I yet sur
vive to tell the tale.
Their homes are cut in the veritable
solid rock, supplemented here and there
with trifle of masonry, and the chin
neys project among the cactus on the
hillside above. There must be a hum
dred or more of them.
This kind of dwelling is of very
ancient origin and not uncommon in
Spain. Nor is it as uncomfortable as
might be supposed, that is to say when
compared with other dwellings of the
poor. The rock is all ready to hand
and moderately soft, and it is easier to
cut it out into the habitations desired
than to build them up regularly of brick
and stone; that is all there is of it.
You don't get too much window light,
1t is true, since none enters except by a
small opening or two in front; but then
these are not people to put their fine
eyes out with much reading or writing,
nor indeed with working either, though
one or two make semblance of having
FORCES and doing blacksmith work.
How they jigged and clapped and
twanged their guitars, those dark
skinned gypsies, and how white were
the teeth of laughing Enriqueta. Their
dance ought to have succeeded at the
Paris exhibition, after the precedent of
those in the Rue du Cairo.
They wanted to tell my fortune in my
hand. A beautiful blonde lady with blue
eyes was signing for me, and I would
win a million pesetas (francs) in the
lottery. A little more money and they
would tell me the name of the lady.
''Vamos! a little more money; now
her name?"
She would be called Quiteria Ramona.
Henceforward, then, writes Madrid
correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, whenever I shall meet Quite
ria Ramona, and shall be free to re-
spond to the purposes of destiny, must
think my fate approaches.

TIE GRIP ACTING HORIZONTALLY.

Implement, but this served only in the
end to bring up the dead body. 1t was
a case where something entirely differ
ent from any present apparatus was
called for, and the case was one of MANY.
The Debrosse grapnel may be readily
understood from an inspection of the
cuts showing it under two plans of
operation. Surprising, as in the case
cited, the body rests at the bottom or
near it, with its position plainly indi-
Gated by the rising bubbles of escaping
air. 1t is lowered down, it's weight
carrying it vertically, jerk of the sus-
tanning string and the four sections of
the metallic globe open out like arms,
and with the movement upward close in
tightly upon the body and lift it to the
surface and within reach of waiting
friends. 1t may be worked with cslerity,
and if the first aim of the fisher should
not be successful it is only the work of
an instant to make new effort a little
distance away. From the diameter of
55 centimetres when closed the arms
spread out to a reach of 80 centimetres,
the metre being 1913 English inches
and the centimetre hundredth part
thereof. There is no dependence upon
poles, etc. In the weight of the instru-
ment is its principal power, and no mat
ter how deep or how shallow the water
is it is equally effective. Dragged along
the bottom in the manner of an ordinary
grapnel, the Debrosse apparatus an
swers admirably. The hooks upon the
outer surface of che now closed sphere
attach themselves to the clothing of the
helpless victim, and so, long after life
has apparently departed, he may be
brought to the surface and resuscitated.
1t is, however, as a vertical grapnel that
the machine will do it's best work, and
that for which it is uniquely adapted.

TO SAVE LIFE.
The Clever Invention Of a French

torative measures to be applied is the
problem which First Officer Emmanuel
Debrosse, of the French line steamer
Bourgoyne, had set himself and which
he thinks he has very effectively solved,
says the New York World. His posi-
ton in the commercial marine gave him
abundant chance to study the question
of life-saving in all it's various phases,
to note the merits and dement's of the
existing systems and to know from OBJ
servation just what was needed and how
best to apply it.
In the commercial ports of Havre,
Marseilles, Bordeaux and St. Nazaire
the great French society for succoring
the drowning had placed all known ap-
pliances. There were grapples and lines,
belts and poles and other devices to be
thrown in various ways to the strug-
Cling victim. How we'll these numer-
Gus appliances do their work the statis-
tics of the work of the Hfe-saving corps
most eloquently testify, but against
each and every one of them there are
objections, and the unhappy exceptions
were entirely too many when all the de-
vices failed and the loss of human life
was recorded. Even the plucky life
saver who plunges in at the risk of his
own to save the life of another can not
always meet with success. If the body

THE FAIR.

The West Virginia State Fair opens
tomorrow. It's success is almost a fore
gone conclusion. The success Of the
Fair last year was phenomenal. This
year the exhibition will be larger and
better, the racing. especially, which
fact should insure an attendance for the
five days that will discount that Of the
year previous.
The fair is big thing for Wheeling
and for the State, and aside from the
pleasure attendant upon a visit to the
grounds. it has come TO be regarded as
a duty which everybody owes to the city
and the State TO do everything in his or
her power to make it a success. The
qualification to be obtained will be
worth more than double the price of
admission. That has always been the
verdict before, and it will be doubly
true this time.
Wheeling is fully capable of taking
the best Of care of the thousands OF
visitors, who will pass within her gates
this week. and of giving them royal
good time and the best she has in the
larder. The old town will present a
motley appearance, for there will be
exhibits and exhibitions to suit every
taste. the farmers. the manufacturers,
the merchants. and the sports.
Lookout for a big time.
