DIVES NINETY-FIVE FEET
The Terrific Header Now Being Taken
By Performer in London.


London's latest thrill is derived from
the feat of man who dives down ninetv-
five feet from the roof Of the Westmin-
ster Aquarium into narrow and COM
paratively shallow tank of water. set in
the floor of the building, says a writer i'm
the New York Sun. The exploit calls for
an astounding combination of nerve and
skill, and is TAR more noteworthy than
any of the bridge-jumping acts which
have been so tiresomely frequent of late
years. The diver is Thomas Burns. who
has acquired considerable notorietv as n
diver from bridges and as an exnert
swimmer, and not little fame from his
having saved no fewer than thirtv-two
lives during his career. He is a stnrdiIv
built man, some 26 years of age. He has
frequently dived from bridges over a bnn-
dred feet high into rivers, but his dive at
the aquarium is very different affair
He stands on tiny platform suspended
among the iron girders of the roof. nine
ty-tive feet above the floor, and sees be-
low him, instead of broad, deep river. a
mass of tiaring, bewildering lights, a sea
of upturned faces, and in the wooden
floor of the stage, what seems from that
hight to be a slot, the tank which he must
surely land in. The tank is eighteen feet
long, eight feet wide and seven feet deem
The diver actually dives, takes a header
and does not drop feet foremost, after the
manner OF the jumpers. The mar
velous precision required to land in the
tank is easily appreciabIe, as is also the
fate that would befall him should he miss
his mark.
Burns is hoisted up to his aerial perch
by means of rope and pulley. The spec
tators can barely discern him through
that distance of perpendicular space.
They see him peer over the platform
edge, then they see his toes project over.
he crouohes down, and then he glides off
the platform head foremost. and comes
plunging down with stiffiy outstretched
arms, and hands meeting in front of him
in regular header fashion. But when
little more than half way down his feet
fall over his back toward his head. he
turns almost completely over, and before
the murmur OF excitement and horror
that is the usual accompaniment to the
dive that has voiced itself he strikes the
water with his shoulders and back with a
prodigious thud. He skins just under
the surface of the water, seeming barely
to enter it, and comes up face upward.
He scarcely breathes hard after the tre-
mendous exploit, and goes off immedi-
ately TO give an exhibition of fancy SWIM
ming in another part of the building.
The wonderful skill, the superb pluck
and the unmistakable element of danger
involved in the feat, together with the not
remote prospect of a horrible catastrophe,
bring crowds to behold this latest sensa-
ton,

In lone districts, such as the marshland
OF Kent and the Fen country of Lincoln
shire, the tall church towers, which ar
such prominent features in the landscape,
served very important purpose, mas
much as they We're landmarks for travel
ers, and even to-day the pedestrian has rea-
son to be thankful for the guiding pres
ence of Boston stump or Lydd tower
at the close of hard days walking. In
later age than that of civil war the
vaults of coast churches played very
important part in what was an important
branch of business. When a new rector
was appointed to church in the wealds
OF Kent or Sussex it was usual for him
to receive contribution to his wine
cellar, accompanied by concise intima-
ton that out of regard for the future
peace and happiness, and, perhaps safety,
he would do we'll not to inquire too
closely into the use to which the vaults
beneath his church were put.

RAILRoADING IN GERMANY.
Their Method of Startling Train Cal
cuIRted to Make Americans Smile

Ihe1r Method of StarCing q Train CAL
cuIated to Make Americans Smile.
An official of the PIttsburg and Lake
Erie Road who recently returned from
Europe, referring to railway practice in
Germany, said TO writer of the RditVdy
ReDie3c: THE roadbeds are about per-
fect, while the stations are magnificent,
even in the most Insignificant places
being very fine. The roadbeds are quite
rigid, but this is mainly due to the iron
and steel cross-ties that are used. The
locomotives are fine pieces of mechanism,
but their capacity 1s scarcely equal to
those on this side of the Atlantic. The
entire passenger equipment is away be-
hind that in use here. Their trains, how
ever, run like clockwork and the con-
nect1ons are perfect. The method of
starting trains is altogether unique and
peculiar, and will cause American agents
and tralnmen to smile.
The agent is an imposing, ,dignifiedand
solemn-looking official, attired in elab-
oraIe uniform, literally gilt-edged, and
he acts as master of ceremonies on i'm
posing occasions. When the train arrives
At the station he is standing bolt upright
III an almost military position, and he is
on dress parade. One minute before the
train starts he reaches up and taps gong
tnree times. Then a strange scene takes
place, and 1t would seem that he had
pressed a button, for at the last tap the
conductor, who has been at the rear car,
comes galloping along the entire length
OF the platform, shouting in German
the name of every station the train
will stop at When the engine is
reached he wheels about, and on his
return quickly closes ana locks the
car doors, darts back to the van to his
perch on the rear car, whistles thrice on
tin or metal whistle. which is instantly
repeated by the brakeman at the front
end, and the train starts.''

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first Of five equal ar
nual tnstalments. Thus no part Of the prin.
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades OF land at prices to cCrre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing. cannot bs
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land ct SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy o5
accomplishment.
The primary object OF the purchase Of this
body of land wss the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set7
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotiont
to diligent husbandry

HUNG IN A TREE ALL WINTER.
A Mans Watch Unharmed by Very
Strange Experience

After hanging on the limb of tree all
winter, exposed to the rain and snow, a
valuable gold watch and chain belonging
to O'Hara Darlington, who lives a short
distance above Sharpsburg, Pa. has been
discovered, and to-day, according to the
Pittsburg Dispatch, is keeping time Just
the same as it did before it was lost early
in last November. Mr.. Darlington owns
the old Darlington mansion with it's broad
acres at Guyasuta, where the noted In
dian chieftain, bearing the same name, is
supposed to be buried. Last fall he was
in the woods superin tending the burning
OF some brush, The day was warm and
sultry, and on his way home he carried
his coat and vest over his arm. AT the
supper table he had occasion to look at
his watch, but 1t was not in the accus-
toned vest pocket, neither was there any
trace of the heavy gold chain with which
the watch had been attached to the vest.
A careful search failed to reveal the miss
ing valuables. Hastily leaving the sup
per-room, Darlington called his hired
men, six in number, who in turn gath
cred together large number of neigh
bors. Procuring lantern and rakes the
party went to the woods and spent the
entire night in searching for the missing
watch and chain. Early the next morn
ing Mr.. Darlington and his men were
back in the woods again, and the search
woodland was carefully raked from one
end to the other, but no trace of the watch
and chain was found. The search was
finally abandoned, and Mr.. Darlington
gave up his watch as lost.
One afternoon, recently, Fred and
Frank Stout, sons of Harry A. Stout,
manager Of Tibb's glass-house, Sharps-
burg, went to the woods for a stroll. The
two boys had not gone far till one of them
had his hat knocked from his head by the
overhanging branch of a tree. Glancing
up to see what he had run against, he was
astonished to see right before his eyes and
within easy reach gold watch and chain
The boys approached the limb to which
the watch was hanging, cautiously, lest
by some awkward movement a pretty
optical illusion should be dispelled. How
ever, they soon became convinced that
they had not been made the victims of
trick, and few moments later they were
flying homeward with the watch and
chain safely slowed away in one of their
pockets. When MIR. Stout came home in
the evening and was shown the watch,
he, too, was greatly surprised, for along
with a party of other neighbors he had
gone on an all-night search for that
watch five months before. How the
watch came to be in the position in which
it was found is mystery.

DOING BUSINESS IN CHURCHES
People In Olden Times Put Places OF
Worship to Strange Uses.


Worship to Strange Uses.
Our ancestors transacted a good deal of
business OF one kind and another in and
about their churches, says the London
StqndGrd. To begin with, the churches of
old England in turbulent times were re-
garded as places of safe custody for pub
llc and private property. In the border
land OF England and Scotland the idea
was carried out still more completely,
and churches, or at least their towers, be-
came regular fortresses, and not infre-
quently were objects of otfense and de-
tense. We may note In rural England
that in the cases of ancient churches the
towers are often not merely dispropor-
tionate in size to the rest OF the church.
but are carefully and strongly built, evil
IDENTIFY with an object. Even in peaceful
Surrey and Sussex the belfries are veri-
table strong-rooms with barred windows
and massive doors, and often contain an
ancient treasure chest.
Hither, at the first alarm, money and
valuables were hurried, for, beyond the
security of thick walls and bars and
bolts, there was an aegis of sanctity which
in superstitious age protected the build
ing from the most ruthless OF foes. The
fortress-like construction of many of the
better land churches is an interesting
study to antiquaries. In more than one
well-known case the holy edifice con-
sists merely of a barn attached to but
walled off from regular Pele tower.
Even in Southern England semi-mili-
tary character is given sometimes to
church tower by the cresset, where from,
IN cases of general danger, such, for
instance, as the Spanish amanda or the
French incurslons of later period, the
beacon fire spread the news from town
to town and from village TO village.
