HIS LAST DESCENT.

A Parachute Jumper Leaps From . Trap
ere Into Lake and is Drowned.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Prof De
I've, the noted aeronaut and parachute
leaper, was drowned last evening while
giving an exhibition at Pleasant Beach,
one Of the pleasure resorts on 0nonda-
ga lake. From ten to twenty thousand
persons witnessed the catastrophe. The
professor had been engaged for week
with Prince Leo, another aeronaut, and
Sundays was the initial performance.
At the height Of about 1000 feet he
swung himself loose from the balloon.
The descent was very rapid. Prof De
I've was in sitting posture on the
trapeze when he struck the water.
There was a big splash, motion Of
the hands in appeal for help and the
daring performer was seen no more.
The drowning took place in fifty feet OF
water and at distance of 500 feet from
the shore.
Not an attempt was made at rescue,
though boat had been provided for
the purpose before the ascension. 1t
was at first supposed the professors
feet had got tangled up in some way
with the guy ropes and that he was
thus unable to assist himself. But the
theory now is that he was stunned by
the shock Of the descent and contact
with the cold water Of the lake. He
had become very much heated by his
exertions in the imitation OF the balloon
and still more so as the result of a
trapeze performance during the ascent
He was an excellent performer and
swimmer, and when advised to take a
life preserver with him boasted that he
could swim the length OF the lake twice.

Smyrna times., 1891-12-02


The whole Banda Oriental and its in
habitants strike one as being more re-
fined, more amiable and more gentle
than the land and people of the sister re-
public. Nevertheless, in the country
everything is very primitive, and one is
astounded at the rough way in which
many of the rich estancieros live on their
estates in the simplest and most comfort
less houses. These men own leagues and
leagues of land, and they live like the
patriarchs of old-with two or three gen
erations of children under the same roof
and eating at the same table-in the old
fashioned creole way. Such men, as may
be imagined, are not progressive; they
continue their pastoral industry in an in
dolent, apathetic manner, leaving to ma
ture almost everything except the opera
ton of selling and receiving the money;
and, above all, they cannot be persuaded
to subdivide their lands and let them out
for farming.
Uruguay is being kept back chiefly by
the cOnservativeness of the creole land
holders, who possess immense estates thai
are inadequately developed. The law Of
inheritance and the obligatory subdivis
ion of property among the heirs will
modify this state of affairs in the course
of time, and these vast holdings will b
gradually broken up and developed il
detail. The process, however, will nee
essarily be slow, and meanwhile, as the
state owns no lands, the increase of i'm
migration can only be slow in proper
tion.-Theodore Child in Harper's,
