The "Safety" Parachute.
D London Tele9raph,s Paris letter

From the London Telegraph's Paris letter.
very interesting and successful experiment
has been made here by NJ. Capazza, the we'll
known aerOnaut, with safety parachute
which he has invented. The apparatus is placed
above the balloon and to it are attached num-
Der Of very long ropes. II the balloon bursts
the gas swells out the parachute and SO helps to
diminish the rapidity Of the descent. At the
top of it is q small funnel through which the
gas passes slowly, and by this arrangement the
parachute is kept steady. This is the principle
OF NJ. Capazza's invention. The parachute used
in the experiment is Of rather voluminous tli-
mansions and the car is fixed at the longest DOS
sible distance from the balloon in order that il
may not be entangled in the debris. In rather
squally weather NJ. Capazza made his ascent from
the gas works at La yillette. his wife being
among the spectators. The lady. however, did
not seem at all nervous. 81 married Capazza. -
she said, "because was sure of his courage.
am not bit afraid" The couple were only
welded q few weeks ago. 1t was amid loud
order "Lachez tout" was given, and then the
balloon. drifting in q northeasterly direction,
rose In about five minutes to the altitude OF
LOO meters, which the aeronaut desired to
attain. M Capazza then burst the balloon by
means Of q knife placed at the top. and to
which cord had been attached Most of the
spectators were Mortified at the sight Of the
aerostat, now reduced to q shapeless mass, as II
fell slowly on the car, but not interfering in
any way with the development Of the para
chute, which, filling out until it looked iike a
large saucer turned upside down, hardly
swerved in its motion, but came steadily down
at the rate Of six feet per second. N. Capazxa
finally alighted in cornfield at Drancy,
in the neigbborhood Of Pantin, the de-
scent having occupied o little more
than ten minutes. The experiment ID
regarded as satisfactory in every way, and
there Is only one opinion to the success Of the
invention and the pluck displayed by the enter
prising aeronaut. The connoisseurs were
much impressed with the manner in which the
safety parachute" behaved from the moment
when the balloon was burst, and also with the
practical character Of the precautions taken to
prevent the aerostat from encumberingitsm move
ments. The steady balance for which NJ, Ca
PIAZZA had provided was maintained from the
first, and the ladies, many Of whom were 90
panic stricken ut the moment when the balloon
was ripped up that they nearly tainted away,
were reassured long before the bold aeronani
reached terra frma. Al for his wife, her conf
dence never forsoke her, for her faith In ".
Capazza's skill and presence Of mind il I'M

vance hasbeen made through this invention in

Probable Change of the Chinese Ministe

ooapie Chan8e OF the Chinese Minister.
As published In The STAR yesterday the state
ment is made that the Chinese minister will
probably be replaced in few weeks, his sue
cessor being named as Mr.. Shut, formerly Sec
Rotary Of the legation here, and now holding q
place under his government in China. 1t is
alleged as the reason for the change that the
Emperor Of China is much displeased with the
course OF Mr.. Tsni. the present minister, in his
alleged transactions looking to the establish
ment Of an international bank in China, and as
a result Of information sent from this country
to the Chinese officials, calling their attention
to publications. in the papers reciting these
facts, the emperor has ordered an investigation
into the matter. This investigation has been
going 'on for nome time in China, and as a
result the minister will probably be recalled
before his term expires in October next, when
In the course of ordinary procedure he would
have been relieved from duty as minister to
this country. as well as minister to Peru, which
country ID included in his mission.

THE ARREST OF DIR. GEoRa.
Gov. Brown Says He Has Made All the Rep
aration Possible.


Gov. Brown Of Maryland has submitted re-
port to the State Department upon the recent
arrest Il Bay Ridge Of DR.. Georg, an attache of
the Swiss legation. He says: sit is clear that
under an accusation, for which there was not
the slightest color Of excuse. DR.. Georg has
been subjected to gross indignity. Unfortu-
nately it is not within my power to mark my
condemnation Of this indignity by any punish
ment further than by calling for the prompt
dismissal Of tAe officer whose blunder was the
occasion Of this most deplorable incident. This
have done, and he has been discharged from
the employ Of the sheriff and of the Bay Ridge
authorities, and will not be reihstated.
81 beg that you will make known to DR..
Georg and the Swiss legation my official action
in the matter, and at the same time express to
him and them how profoundly 1 regret the un-
fortunate occurrence and my inability to offer
TO him any further redress or reparation for
the affront to which he has been subjected"
. Under the Maryland laws the governor has
no power to punish the officer who made the
arrest further than by Diminishing him from his
Office.

THE FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY.
II 10 TO Displace the Steam Engine and Revo.
lutionise Cooking.


lutionise COOKING.
''since in obtaining power from fuel by means
Of steam engines upward Of ninety per cent is
wasted in unused heat, while the power obtain
able for use represents scarcely more than ten
per cent Of the real value Of the fuel, under
the very best conditions the question arises
whether there may not be discovefable a plan
whereby much larger percentage Of the real
value Of the fuel may be turned to account as
electricity, and through the latter as heat, light
or power" says Prof. Elihu Thompson, the
eminent electrical inventor and expert, in the
New England Magazine.
''This question has at present no answer
The subject has been alive in the minds Of our
most able engineers and inventors for years,
and some have striven hard to find . solution to
the problem. Records Of scientific discovery
have been earnestly ransacked to find some
ciew; or, as 1t were, guiding post to point the
way for the uncertain explorer. 1t now appears
that we may be compelled to await some new
discovery, some new adaptation or some new
generalization before the way to the much
desired solution may be found. The effect on
the general industrial and economic develop
ment in electricity which would follow the dis
covery of some not too complex means for
realizing an economy Of even 40 or SO per cent
of the energy value Of fuel is indeed almost
incalculable
'Then truly would electricity become the
almost universal agent in the production well
as the transmission Of power. The steam en-
CINE would 60 out Of use almost entirely. We
should burn our coal. not under steam boilers;
1t would be consumed in electric generators.
Our steamships would have their machinery re-
placed by such generators, and their propellers
would be turned by gigantic electric motors,
connected with the generators. The speed
would be increased 30 rs to still further shorten
inn nf No oOfol
tricity as a heating agent would be vastly ex-
tended, and it goes without saying that our
lighting would be accomplished at much less
cost"

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
A Judges Mind Unhinged by Charges
Against His Administration.

Sudgep Mind Unhfnged by Charges
Against His Administration.
A startling climax to the action for libel re-
Gently begun by Judge James G. Normile Of the
st. Louis criminal court against the Post Dis
patch Of that city came yesterday in the suicide
by poison Of the plaintiff. Judge Normile, at his
residence, No. 1922 Washington avenue. Crit
cism Of the administration Of Judge Normile's
court was precipitated recently by sudden di-
vision in the grand jury acting under him,
eight Of its members alleging that four had
combined 20 prevent the indictment of persons

The matter was brought before Judge Nor
mile through communications from the con-
tending factions and the judges conduct in the
matter led to charges and criticism on the part
OF the Post Dispatch, which eliminated in the
Judge bringing suits for sums aggregating
S4OO. 600 against the paper attacking him, and
also instituting criminal libel actions against
three OF the papers responsible editors, Flor
ence D. White, chief, and Samuel Williams and
Geo. 8. Johns, assistants, there being six counts
in each warrant
After this action Judge Normile left, the city

appointed to take dispositions in his libel suits.
de was on the stand most Of the day, and was
much disturbed by the close. sharp questioning
anu tne tlltS between the cOntendlng counsel.
However, no one thought Of any serious effect
upon the judges mind, and the news yesterday
OF his suicide was thorough surprise to every
one. Investigation showed, however, that the
recent occurrences and criticisms had so borne
upon his mind that he could endure it no
longer.
The following was the note found on the
person Of Judge Normine:
For more than year the atrocious lbelers
OF the Post Dispatch have had me on the rack
They have almost untitled me from perform

than protracted torture. For the past week

The law Is slow and it would be more than q
year before I could get the damage case
brought to trial. I crave rest, which also l
must seek in the grave, upon whose brink
pencil these closing lines.
Judge Normile was born in Ireland in 1874.
Under President Johnsons administration he
was private secretary to Secretary of the In
terror Browning, and studied law in the George
town University and in the law department Of
Columbian University. He was also librarian
Of the Interior Department and other Offices
He was one Of the orators OF the centennial of
Georgetown University about two years ago.
About 1868 he went to st. Louis He was elected
