THE SKY LIGHT FOR ILLUMINATING A
CITY.
a city the size of San Francisco will be
reduced considerably, as one balloon
will suffice for from four to six blocks.
At the same time the tangle of deadly
and unsightly wires from the streets
will be removed and danger from fires
reduced.
Mr.. Smith, in addition to the lights,
has invented an arrangement Of mir
rors, which will be placed on the under
side of the balloon, so that person on
one street can see what is transpiring
on the next, even though blocks OF
buildings intervene, and this mirror ar
rangement, the inventor says, will be OF
great service to the fire department, as
the location of flames can be easily as,
certained should they break out from q
building.
Perhaps the best use to which this
system of lighting would be turned
would be to harbors," said Mr.. Smith.
'"Three or four of these balloons placed
over San Francisco bay would make the
harbor as light as day.
''Thc members of the San Francisco
Electric association have discussed my
scheme pretty thoroughly, and they
claim that it is not only possible, but
one that would be very useful rs sys

ATERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. MEE
The Crew of the Adamantine Saved After
Tussle with Ice.

The Crew OF the Adamantine saved AFTER
aTussle with Ice.
BALTIMORE, March 9.-The story of the
wreck of the barkentine Adamantine, the
shipwrecked crew of which was landed here
by the steamer Delano, is one of great suf-
fering and adventure.
The Adamantine left St. Johns, N. F.,
on February Is for Liverpool. She had
aboard cargo valued Mt about 500, 900.
Ice was encountered that night, and on
the following day the bark was completely
hemmed in by the huge masses which
threatened to force in the steel plates.
For four days the crew worked manfully
to protect the vessel with Tenders and
poles.
A gale was blowing and the weather was
intensely cold.
Nothing could be seen above the surface
but great field of ice. The vessel had
been badly damaged AMI with every
grinding crash the exhausted c4cw expected
to so to tie bottom
So vicious were the attacks of the ice,
that the fore-compartElent was full OF
water, and all the cables and articles of
heavy cargo forward Were stored aft to
raise the bow as far ont of the water as
possible.
The ice crushed in the port bow and
janmed the ruddur. In this almost
wreck ID condition the crew batt!ed hope
lessly through the stormy night
The dawn of the 24th found the vessel
still in the ice
The tenders had b ee nsmusEcdand torn
to pieces, and three to four feet of water

LIT BY BALLOONS.
Aerial Ships with Electric Lights VIII
illuminate q City.

Aerial Ships with Electric Lights Will
illuminate City.
A balloon with electric lights at
tarhed to it for lighting cities is the
latest idea OF turning the Eight OF
lights" to a practical use. This idea
may seem very visionary, but O. A.
Smith, of No. 112 Grove street, one OF
San Franciscos inventors, has sufficient
confidence in the scheme to commence
operations of constructing balloon
for that purpose, says the Call OF that
city.
This balloon will not be of the ordinary
silk bag pattern, but will be made of
aluminium and in the shape of a cigar,
pointed at both ends. 1t will be about
forty feet long and fifteen feet in diam
eter at it's largest point, and will con-
tain sufficient gas to sustain it in the
toughest kind of weather. Fans will
be constructed SO as to hold it point up to
the wind and help it from dipping, and
in calm weather it will be so balanced
that it will remain perfectly level.
A cable containing the electric wires
will hold it at a sufficient elevation, so
that the light will be spread over the
area to be illuminated to the best adj
vantage.
The balloon will sustain six arc
lights, or it can be so made as to be Gov
cred with incandescent lights, each one
of which will be inclosed with re-
dector, so as to concentrate the rays
of the light and throw them downward.
An appliance will be provided fol
hauling the balloon to the earth fol
trimming the light or making any re
pairs that might become necessary, Oh
raising or lowering it so that the ligh
may be advantageously distributed.
The inventor claims that, counting
the first cost of the balloons and thei
maintenance, the total cost of lighting

Pelican Pouches.

The best tobacco bags are made not
of leather or rubber, but of the pouch
of pelican. The monstrous membrane
which fills out the lower bill of the pei
lean is soft and thin, of very fine tex
ture, easily tanned, and, when dressed,
a beautiful article .of leather, pos
sessing the quality of being as i'm
pervious to water as india rubber. To
bacco kept in it will never become dry,
but retains its sweetness and aroma
even longer than when preserved in tin
foil. In the southern scaboard states
it's value is well understood and tobacco
pouches made of it are very common.

ways detected and sad.-Detroit Free

Navc Your Friends Skeleton Made Doc

There lives in Philadelphia an old
Frcnchman who, according to Lippin-
colts Magazine, for over a quarter Of a
century has followed the profession Of
"articulatOr of human bones" The
sign board over his door bears the sim
pie legend M. dc BlanQuc, rarfu-

as decoy, for he has found it neccs-
sary to ply his queer trade ION the

decorated with skeletons in all sorts of
grotesque positions. -Four hidcous
skulls grin from the posts of the bed,
and close by stands a skeleton with arms
outstretched, doing duty as a clothes
rack, the room being lit by u lamp made
of a skull, which is suspended from the
ceiling with thongs of tanned human
hide.
When the knights of Pythias We're
organized some years ago, the demand
for skeletons increased, as they We're
used to a great extent in the lodge
rooms. De Blanque prospcred as a con-
sequence. The price of skeletons varies

article costs anywhere from thirty to
thirty-fve dollars, and the domestic
twenty dollars, but the trade is about
lost to this country, because they can
set up skeleton so much cheaper in

There arc old-tecth dealers who sell
the product of many aching jaws to
these articulators for as much as dol
lar quart. They have often to buy
more than this to get tooth to suit,
for skeleton with a full set of teeth
is worth half again its value otherwise.

THAT OTHER NIGHT"


Shadows OF the night are closing
Ger the valley wide,
On the scattered homes reposing
Sinks the eventide.
As view the scene before me
In the fading light,
Memories are thronging DER me
OF another night
Just as now the twilight's glory
Bathed the vale in gold,
As stood and told the story
That is never old.
No reply my darling uttered
To the words said,
Bnt caught the blush that huttered
To her cheek instead
Years have flown, and golden tresses
Show silver sheen,
But when spring time comes, and dresses
All the earth is green,
Here We sit and, while around us
Slowly fades the light,
Whisper OF the love that bound US
On that other night

When the wise man wrote
"There is nothing new under

babies. Babies are always new.
True, they have been in stock
more or less for the last two
thousand years, but that does
not prevent each individual baby
from being just as new to its
admiring parents and relatives.
1t is no wonder. then, that
mothers find the greatest possi-

denounced as abominable the rumors in the
newspapers to the effect that he had made
bargain with Nine, Cottu not to reveal
the name of the .Xn concerned in the
Panama bribery charges, being mentioned
in the Reinach list of checks given by Cor
nelius Herr TO Andrieux, and that "X'
was the ambassador Of a friendly power,
whose name the counsel for Henri Cottu
was about to state in court. NJ. Ribot said
that as soon as he heard the rumors he ad-
dressed communication to the president
of the bar committee, saying that counsel
before lending himself to such a scandal
ought to remember that he was French
man. The president of the bar committee,
Ribot continued, spoke to the counsel for
NJ Cottu, and the counsel denied that he
had any intention Of naming the ambas-
sador.

THE LEECHBURG CRIME.
The Bank Robbers Trial Now in
Progress.
AN ARMY OF WITNESSES PRESENT.

Dr.. wycltoff, the leading Defendant, a
Son of a Prominent Physician The
Defense Will Rely on an Alibi-Great
Interest in the Trial.
KITTANNINa, March 1.-THE Leechburg
bank robbers trial, now in progress here,
promises to be one of the most sensational
cases Of recent times in Western Pennsyl-
vania. DIR. Wyckof, the leading figure in
this trial, is the son of a well known Buff
falo physician, and had been about two
years in Leechburg. Citizens of that town
say he had not much of a practice, and
assert that most people knew he was run
ming a gaming house. He had an account
with the bank which he is charged with
attempting to rob- and also had a box in
the safe deposit vaults in that building.
Hence he knew most of the ins and outs of
the institution.
1t is generally believed that the scheme
of the burglars was to get access to the
building and hide there Mr.. Hill, ayoung
man connected with the bank, had to come
in the evening and turn on the lights,
which burned all night They evidently
intended to surprise him and get the COM
bination, Wyckoff, it is alleged, knew
that Hill had the combination. They had
and three burglar proof safe doors to force
before eiything could be touched, force,
it is evidont, was not intended. Masks
We're found on the ground after the arrests.
They were made OF black cloth.
Councilman Schafer was shot as the rob
bers came headong out of the door on the
alarm being raised, he having gone to help
arrest them. They all entered by the win
dow but two made their exit by the door.
One came out of the window by which he
went in The bullet struck Schafer on the
left seventh rib, glanced upward and pene-
trated the heart. Had it not struck the
rib and glanced the wound would not have
been fatal. There is quite small army of
people here connected with the case out
side of the large legal element. For the
prosecution forty-six witnesses have been
subpcenaod KRONER has thirty friends to
| prove an alibi. Wyckolf's friends swell
| the number, and Sprague and Rhine are
| expecting witnesses from their homes.

will join in a political party for the aboli-
tion or suppression Of the drink traffic in
the United States, and for such other
moral economic, financial and industrial
reforms as are needed in the country"
The evening session was enlivened by
the rousing speeches Of several gentlemen
who belong to the regular Prohibition
party In defense of that organization. ID.

brief history Of the Democratic and Re-

and have not done, principally have not,

Kirkby and President Ashley were pre-

every assurance that they would be ac-

the men refused to do so, as they did not
meet their views in any particular. The
principal objection was that the non-union
men would not be ousted. The men say
they will remain out and that all the en-
ployes in other branches of the road will
