An Airship to Cross the Ocean.

A remarkable experiment is going on
not far from London in pretty little
Kentish town called Bexley. Here a
party Of American scientists and arti-
sans are constructing an airship which
is expected to cross the ocean in seven
hours. The inventor, capitalists and
workers are nearly all from Bridgeport,
Conn.,, and are confident of success. By
invitation | ran down there and saw a
mysterious mass of metal and machine
ry, Of which could make nothing intel
Egible. did see models, however,
which rose from the table and flew
around the interior of the great work
room. describing circles and curves at
the will of the sender.
If the complete ship does half as well
as the model it will revolutionize tho
world. Every workman is sworn to alb
solute secrecy, and thus far little or no
information as to what the mechanism
is has reached the outside world. The
superintendent is Hiram Maxim, an
American inventor Of ability. Next to
him are Mr.. House and his son, who are
both endowed with high inventive tai

The Land of the Pine and Palm.

California is the land of the pine and the
palm. The tree of the Sierras native, Wig

song, symbolic the capacities of the state,
and although the sugar pine is indigenous,
and the date palm, which will never be
more than an ornament in this hospitable
soil, was planted by the Franciscan fathers,

oneer Electrical nIishan.

A queer accident befell a Portland
woman last week. An electric light
wire had sagged to the timed roof of
her house, and the current was conduct
ed by the water conductor on the out
side of the house to trap in the cellar,
thence by the waste pipe to a washstand
on the second floor, thence by the water
pipe to the street, so that when the lady
put her hand on the faucet of the water
pipe she couldn't let 80. But luckily
the wind was blowing, and, as the wires
swayed, the water pipe and its adjuncts
were electrified with but an intermittent
current, so the lady was liberated after
a few minutes imprisonment and con-
siderable suffering. -Lewiston Journal \

ZOla's Rise in Life.

Some twenty-five years ago Emile lola
was a clerk in Hachette's book store on the
Boulevard st. Germain-passing rich on
eighty francs month. Today he is prac-
tically millionaire. No living French
writer has amassed more money than he
from the products of his pen. His novels
sell by the hundred thousand. On the first
publication of any of his stories by news
paper he receives the sum of 5000. His
publisher subsequently pays him double
that sum for the copyright of the work,
and gives him, moreover, q splendid roy
atty on its sale. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, that under these circumstances the
slim, raw boned counter jumper of quar-
ter of a century ago should have developed
into the portly, pleasant looking "bour-
