A SCENE NOT ADVERTISED.
A Man Carried Up Head Downwards by a
Balloon.

Crowds who went to see Prof. Blon.
die Willies' balloon ascension at
Worcester, Mass, witnessed a sight
they will not soon forget. A heavy
thunderstorm came up, and the bal,
loon escaped from the crowd trying
to hold it. One luckleSs spectator,
Benjamin Long, was caught by the
right foot in a loop of the anchor rope
and carried hcavenward head down
as the balloon shot upward. Long
was swaying to and fro in a frantic
endeavor to get into the parachute.
Five Thousand people awaited with
bated breath to see the unlucky man
Drained on a house chimney and
dashed tOdeath on theground. From
the very first, Long made efforts to
save himself. His poor old mother,
who was in the crowd, was almost
paralyzed with horror as she saw her
son hanging by the foot. Far up in
the gloom and darkness flashes of
llgnlnlng revealed his position In the
air, and just when death seemed GER,
tain from collision with they. NJ. G. A.
bathhOuse he caught by chance the
cutoff rope on the parachute and
dropped like a shot for fifty feet.
Then as the big umbrella filed he
sailed out toward the lake, struck the
water, disentangled his foot and
swan ashore, and was at once the
hero of the crowd. After he rcgaineJ
his composure he said that the sCnsa-
ton of being dragged up head down
was terrible, and that he expected
every minute that his foot would slip
and he would be dashed to death on
the ground.

TORTURED FOR BLINDNESS.
Awful Treatment of "a ratient by "A New
York Doctor.

Thomas Hayden, formerly an anna
teur actor of Brooklyn, who was
stricken with blindness two years
ago, is undergoing heroic and extra,
ordinary treatment at the hands OF
DR.. August Thesis, of No. 1115 West
SiXty-SecOnd street, New York, in the
hope of having his sight restored.
MIR. Hayden said he hardly knew
what to expect from the treatment.
The doctor told him he would expect
no pay unless he effected a cure.
Some time ago" said Mr.. Hayden,
"a friend of mine, whose father had
been a doctor in Germany, told me OF
a method for treating blindness that
his father had successfully practiced.
1t consisted of puncturing the skin
and rubbing into the wounds a liquid
the constituents of which were a
secret in the possession of the Ger
man government"
BY a strange coincidence DR.. Thesis
called to see Mr.. Hayden shortly
afterwards and outlined to him the
same treatment, although he said he
had not seen Mr.. Hayden's friend.
The physician eXpatiated at length
on his theory, and the blind man con-
sented to try the treatment. This is
how the patient describes it: "Dr.
Thesis uses an instrument something
like a square brush, the bristleS of
which are of steel and thirty-three in
number. A syringe moves these
needles in such a manner that they
are driven into the skin to the depth
of about an eighth of an inch. At
the first sitting with DR.. Thesis l
received 1900 Of these punctures.
Into the bleeding skin then is rubbed
an oil, which is the curative principle
of the treatment. For three days
the torture was agonizing. The oil
was not only absorbed into the SyS-
TEN, but blistered the skin. Sleep
was impossible. Ter days ago l took
the second application. This time
Thesis applied the steel brush 667
times, making 22,0f1 punctures.
Thesis guarantees that at the end of
three months l shall begin to distin-
guish forms family. At the end of
six months he claims | shall be able
to recognize my friends, but that |
shall not be able to read or write
for a year"
DIR. Thesis says Mr.. Hayden's blind
ness is caused by a blood clot or some
impurity of the blood which is
lodged in the vessels around the optic
nerve and which presses against it.
The doctor has studied in Germany,
but he claims his theories were so
radically different from those of the
faculty that he was not given his
degree. There are 22,O11 tiny wounds
on Mr.. Hayden's body and this treat
ment is repeated fortnightly. There
is not a portion of his body that has
not been punctured.

When a ace becomes old and
begins to decline, then for some rea-
son tremendous cataclysms of nature
seem to occur to hurry it off the face
of the earth. from all that can be
learned of the prehistoric Atlanteans,
this appears to have been their fate.
1t will be observed that since historic
times the great commissions of nature
have occurred chiefly among old or
dying races. The disasters in Japan
and China, the tremendous eruption
of Krakatoa, in the straits of Sunda,
in August, 1883. i'm which 10000 peo-
pie lost their lives, is another case in
hand. In the same volcanic dis
trict is the island of Sangir, in the
Malay archipelago, which was this
summer wiped out entirely by another
volcanic disturbance. At Sangir, H.
600 lives were lost. 1t looks as
though nature meant to sweep the
Malaysians off the globe.
