AN EXCITING RIDE IN A LIFT.

The American Thought He Was Going to
Come Down Standing on His Head.
London may not be provided with ele-
vators on anything like the scale that New
York u.s." said man recently who spent
his vacation abroad, "but i saw lift
there the like of which / do not believe
exists in this country. / entered an Office
building in London. which was not far
from the Bank of England, to see friend
who was on the top floor. In the corridor
saw a number of boxes following one an
other up one shaft and down another.
They were attached to an endless chain,
and were large enough to hold several per-
sons.
81 looked at the machine in some doubt.
when suddenly man stepped out of one
of the boxes or cars which was coming
down. The car, which was going at what
seemed to me rather rapid rate of speed,
did not stop, the man jumping off 1t while
it was in motion. Pretty soon l saw other
men jumping in and out of the cars, which
were about as far apart on the endless
chain as the distance from floor to floor. l
at first hesitated about risking my limbs
and life on the contrivance but finally
stepped into an ascending car just before
its bottom was on level with the floor.
"No sooner had ] done this than / began
20 get afraid that / might be crushed to
death between the car and the floor or cell
ing when tried to step off. Of q sudden
It struck me that if did not get off at the
top floor / would be carried to the roof,
and then be stood on my head in the car as
81 turned over. l was in a perfect fever of
anxiety and could hardly screw up my
courage TO the point of alighting, but /
managed TO do this when the top floor was
reached. i found that it was much easier
TO get out than l had supposed, and when
finished my call l boldly rode down On
the machine.
81 afDerward learned that a man who did
not get out of an ascending car at the top
floor would be in no danger of being turned
upside down at the top of the shaft, be-
cause the car always maintains its upright
position. This is due to the fact that only
the roof of the car is fastened to the cable,
so the car always remains bottom down
ward by its own weight. A lift like this
may be economical, as it does away with
the need Of men TO run it, but l myself
much prefer the safe American machine"

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. - The popular
branch of our national legislature is be-
coming SO large that another decade will be
sure to bring a radical change in the
method of seating members, if not in the
whole legislative machinery. No form of
statistical expression gives better notion
Of the growth of the United States than
the ratio of representation and number of
representatives in congress. 1t is interest
ing to trace out the evolution of our house
of commons, beginning in the colonial
days and coming down to the spportion-
ment bill, which passed few days ago,
providing for house of S56 members. Our

spalding Retrres from Base Bali.

CHICAGO. April 14-At the annual
meeting of the Chicago base ball club
today A. G.. Spalding declined a re
election to the presidency and james A.
Hart was elected to succeed him. Hart
has had n wide experience in base ball and
is thoroughly conversant with Spaldings
methods, so 1t IS unlikely that there will
be any change in the club. Spulding, in a
letter to Secretary Young, SAYS he was
compelled to retire or neglect his private
business. Ia the course of his letter he
says the natural tendency Of any pro.
fessional game is downward, and with
out a strong, fearless central organization
acting with the other associations under
an equitable national agreement, il is
impossible to long retain the confidence OF
the public, which is necessary to success.
