A CHINESE LEPER.
Horr Ible Revelations From Chinatown,
San Francisco.


San Francisco.
Officers Of the San Francisco China
town police squad crawled down into
a dark and dirty basement the other
day and discovered a Chinese leper.
When they entered the dark, foul
smelling hole their eyes were unable
to penetrate the blacilness until can
die had been produced and lighted.
Then they gropei their way back to
the rear of the cellar. humping their
heads on the joists above: then down
a pair of stairs into a deeper and still
fouler pit, where they found the leper.
He is an old man. probably 65 years
of age. and for two years he is said to
have been penned up in a windowless
and almost airless room, the stencil
from which drove the policemen out
when they first ventured in. They re-
turned with lanterns, however, and
horrible sigh. was exposed to their
gaze. They found the leper all but
helpless. His whole body was in an
awful condition and the terrible dis
ease had eaten nearly all the flesh
from one of his legs.
When the policemen left the Place
an officer was stationed there to guard
the lepers pen. Sergeant Gillen at
once notified the board of health Of
the discovery, and Policeman McManus
went to the headquarters of the Chi
nese Six companies, where the secre-
tary was made acquainted with ths
facts. The Six Companies positively
refused to render any assistance, de-
claring that the matter was no con-
Germ of theirs, and the policeman was
turned away. The leper must be dis
posed of by order of the board of
health.

An exceedingly interesting English
bined with a parachute, especially de-
signed for obtaining photographs Of
Notifications and of the camps of the
enemy, although pictures may also be
made for general surveying purposes.
The parachute is snugly folded in a
thin case at the end of a rocket. which
is fred to the required height and
burst open by means of n time fuse.
The explosion sets free the parachute,
which is protected from injury by
means of a casing of asbestos The

ward and kept in that position by
means of a strong spiral spring.
From the parachute a camera is sus-
pended. and string held by the Oper-
ator is attached by universal joint to
the bottom of the device, for the pur-
pose of pulling the parachute back.
The camera is fitted with an instan-
taneous shutter. operated by clock
work, so as to give several exposures
at intervals At the back of the box is
an arrangement by which the plates
can be manipulated the same as clock
work. A swinging motion can be
given the camera by the operator, and
this will enable him to obtain success

At the Lyceum theater, Rochester,
two gentlemen sat in the front row
next to the orchestra. Directly be-
hind them sat a gentleman and his
wife. A few moments before the cur
tain went up one of the gentlemen in
the front row put his arm on the back
of his companions seat. While talk
ing to his friend he felt slight pinch
on the arm. On looking around he
saw that the lady behind him had
turned to look up to the balcony, and
in SO doing had placed her hand on his
arm. Realizing that she had done so
unconscious'y, he did not move his
arm
Soon. however. he felt hard pinch
Thinking that the best way to call the
lady's attention to what she was doing
would be to ask if anything was
wanted. the gentleman turned and
asked:

Obadiah Barber. who lives near the

"The bears are numerous since the
canal was begun.
Il went into the swamp, accom-
panied by young man. to hunt the
bears Our guns were single barreied.
Presently noise was heard. We fol-
lowed and soon came upon a bear as
she had reached her cubs We were
within about ten yards of her and fred
our guns. The bear was shot in her
lower jaw. She made for u.s. The
young man ran and left me to fight

she reached me plunged it into her
breast The knife fell out of my hand
and the bear was close upon me. 1
felt her hot breath upon nv face and
gave myself up to die a horrible death.
"Fate interfered and / was pleased
to hear the cubs making a noise. The
bear turned around and looked at her
Cubs. Being satisfied that they were
not in danger she came at me again.
81 had my knife again. and used it
in different parts of her body. She
was getting a hold on me when 1
plunged my knife into her heart to the
hilt. The bear fell to the ground and
after few struggles died. The cubs
were dispatched with pine limb"

Lead Poisoning Said to BE an lmpoAsi-
biiity.
"You should have a law in America
The same as we have in France" said
I. T. Kirkland of bordeaux. France.
by our laws such thing as lead
poisoning in canned goods is an im.
possibility. Here it is very great
probability.
SIN canning fruits and vegetables in
this country you pursue n very differ
INT plan from the French. Our cans
have but che piece of soldering. That
IS on the outside and down the front,
where the can is joined. When the
ian is filled light elastic band is
placed inside. Then the top is milled
to the can by machinery. 1t is then
placed in the steam bath and allowed
to cook for twenty minutes or half
IN hour, and sometimes as much "a
forty minutes. according to
the Goods. The air escapes through
la. o astic bands and pores of the can.
In America the soldering of the can IS
al on the inside. When it is filed the
ton is soldered on and then il is placed
in the steam, bath. Instead of being
allowed to remain as with US, your
cans are never in the bath over FIVE
minutes. Then the top is punctured
with an awl and the air rushes ont.
After the air has escaped the hole in
the top is covered with a drop of hot
solder. which must naturally come in
contact with the goods Fruits that
are canned with the pits, such as
prunes and cherries. you can buy very
cheap at this time of the year, as they
are very apt to ferment. But they are
not very good as a rule"

THE SAFEST CARS:
Those Who Travei Most Always Like
the HeIvies: Ones.

Those Who Travel Most Always Like
the Heavies; Ones.
Every commercial traveller has an
opinion of his own as to that position
which makes a car the safest one in
q train. Some of them hold that il is
the one next the baggage car; the
majority maintain that the cent r of
the train is the least dangerous. while
there are still individuals. in the
minority, to be sure, who favor the
tear car.
The opinions have been gained il
many instances from practical ex-
periences in railroad wrecks. which
are. of course, by no means infrequent
in certain sections of the country. As
such they are entitled to consideration.
but the dissimilar views really go to
show that the position of a car in a
train as regards its greater Or less
safety is matter of speculation only.
Upon one matter, however, all the
travelling men agree, and that is that
no matter what the position of the car
is, the safest ones of all are the heavy
sleeping. parlor, buffet cars and the
like. They are commonly referred to
by the drummers ''as better than an
accident policy There is every rea-
con for the holding this favorable
opinion of these cars. Their heavier
frames and trucks render their tele-
scoping difficult matter, and they are
less likely to leave the rails in time
of collision than other ears in conse-
quence of their greater weight.
