Not long ago the authenticated case
of the suicide Of dog from grief at
heing beaten 10y its master was chron-
icled, and now we read of n monkey de-
stroying itself under very remarkable
circumstances The facts of the case,
which are positively vouched for by a
correspondent writing To a Paris con-
temporary from Montrichard. In the de-
partment of Loir-ct-C Cher. are as follows:
A learned monkey, named Bertram, was
deeply attached To its owner, who, among
other tricks. had taught il to fire pistol
while galloping ON the back OF a dog.
The master of the animal, it seems,
lately met with certain domestic troubles,
and. in detected frame Of mind few
days ago. he sent bullet through his
head, death being instantaneous. The
monkey was present at the death of his
master. and probably took in every par
ticular. In any case, when doctor was
called in TO see If life was extinct in the
man. he was astonished 10 find himself

Plenty of OIL.

The fear that there would be an oil
famine in tine near future has been ex.
pressed again and again; but the figures
given by The Oil City Derrick and in.
dorsed by Bradstreet go to show that
the Pennsylvania and Virginia belt alone
is practically inexhaustible. So far the
yield from this tract of 204 square miles
has been over $4,000. 900 barrels. The
estimate is that the possible future yield
will not be far from 1000. 600 600. This
estimate makes no reference to the fields
that exist in Canada, in Colorado, Cali
fornia and elsewhere. both at home ard
abroad. The yield per square mile has
been for fifteen years 100000 barrels.
There seems to le no reason TO fear that
the oil supply will fail before Its substi.
tute is fully established. - ST. Louis

NAVIGATING THE AIR.
Carl Myers Thinks n wm some Day ne p
Common Thing.


Carl Myers, of Frankfort, N. Y, the
husband of Carlotta, the well known
feminine aeronaut. and identified him
self for the past twelve years with the
problem OF aerial navigation. who has
been guest at the Wayne hotel during
tho past few days, is what theatrical
man might call an aeronautic manager.
He sometimes takes little excursion up
into the cloud country to see il the ethe-
real regions look natural and II things
are all there. but not often. The ascen-
sions which he himself has made num-
Der only forty-four He has, however,
a corps OF star aeronauts employed. and
contracts with county fairs and Fourth
of July celebrations to furnish balloons
and experienced mir sailors at reasonable
prices, with satisfactory spectacular fea-
lures guaranteed, he has also given at
tention to the improvement OF the bal
loon. and fine muslin manufactured
from sea island cotton becomes, when
treated by a process invented by him, a
better material from which to manufac-
ture air ships than silk. and much less
expensive.
Anticipating the day when monopo-
listic individuals will control tue aerial
trunk lines Of navigation as well as state
legislatures aud slower means OF trans
portation lower down, he has continued
investing i'm aerial property, occasionally
laying by n balloon for rainy day, until
ne is now the owner Of twenty seven gai
air ships. besides large number Of hot
air balloons His gas balloons are manned
by crew Of thirteen persons, and he hal
a much larger number than that to run
his hot air contrivances.
The result OF long study devoted to tn,
subject and an extensive experience ha
been to make Mr.. Myers a believer in th'
eventual practicability Of navigating th'
upper air He is now the proprietor o
