CHARLES RANKlN'S BOND.
Fredericks, One of the Bondsmen,
Refused Good Offer.

George Frederieks, liquor merchant. would
not take advantage Of the elem ncy extended
to him by the Board of Supervisors, and now
he will have to suffer.
Ffedercks' name has been seen upon many
a bail bond and il was certainly seen, together
with that of Ira p. Rankin, upon the bond of
Charles Rankin, accused of The crime OF en-
Dezzilng the funds of the Lick Baths. The
accused is a nephew of Ira Rankin. who Is
himself one of the Lick trustees. Unfortu-
nately Rankin skipped the country and this
caused trouble, as his bond was promptly de-
ciared forfeited By Judge Belcher. ana suit
was TO have ben brought against the bonds
men TO recover from each $4,000. the amount
OF the bail money for which they went SuretieS.
But no definite action was taken in the mat
ter by the District Attorney. aud at IA recent
merting OF the Board OF Supervisors it was e.
solVed That Fiedercks. slhe oniy one OF the
Dondsmen in affiue circumstances, should be
released from his obligation upon the payment
OF $500. Fredericks agre ed, but wanted Ira
Rankin TO pay one-half of the amount. This
RANKIN either could not would not do, so
Ftedericks failed to comply with the mandate
OF the Supervisors.
On TINS the Supervisors withdrew their order
Oh clemency. aud instructions have been given
10 the city auIh Oriies to bring suit for the re-
coVery of the full amount OF the forfeited bond.

skin, which is especially adapted to
this purpose, as it is impervious to the
hydrogen gas and is very light. The
membranes from which this fabric,
gold-beaters' skin, is formed are taken
from the entrails of the bullock, each
animal furnishing one. When stretched
they are from eighteen to twenty-four
inches long and ten to sixteen inches
wide. After taking the membranes
from the slaughtered bullock they are
first scraped free from fat and soft
parts and sailed till needed for use.
After taking them from the salt they
are first culled washed and soaked in
fresh water till the salt is taken out.
Then q day or two before using they
are placed in a vessel containing soft
water, in which has been dissolved
some fish glue, which adds to their ad-
herring qualities when making the
fabric of the envelope,
In making the envelope, says a cor
respondent in Aeronautics, a cotton
model balloon with a neck was made OF
the same size as the General Myer and
its surface oiled. This cotton bag was
then inflated with air by blower and
the neck securely fastened SO as to re-
tain the air. The model was kept in q
state of tension by applying the blower
from time to time as the air under
pressure from within leaked through.
The model thus fully inflated was sus-
pended by ropes attached to the neck
and to the top or opposite hole. This
suspension permitted the balloon model
to be turned as upon an axis, and thus
brought every part of its surface in ro-
tation within easy reach OF the ope-
rator. A scaifold framework, having
a height nearly equal to the semi
diameter of the model, was placed
around one side, or semi-circumference,
thus presenting to the workmen a
nearly vertical surface on which to lay
the membranes. The nice task of plac-
ing the membranes forming the
fabric of the envelope was dore by
women. Each membrane was taken
from the water, stretched out upon the
surface of the model smoothed down
by hand, and sides or ends, where ir-
regular, were cut off by apar of blunt
pointed shears, which the women used
most deftly Being wet and charged
with the solution of fish glue, the

up his residence when he was report
ing on the state Of some woods In
Bengal. He found the bungalow In
very dilapldated condition. The
"chut"--a whltewashed ceiling-cloth
stretched horizontally at the height
OF the walls, and hiding unseemly
beams and rates--was full of holes.
SO also was the thatch as he knew
from the patches of blue sky TO ba
seen here and there,
sent for the owner Of the house,
and ordered him to make the bulld4
ing thoroughly habitable.
"Sir," he replied, ut Is the dry sea-
son. You only want the house for a
month or so, and during that time
there will not be drop of rain.
What need is there for repairs?"
He was plausible, but still / in
sisted on having the place put to
rights The next day when /
reached the bungalow found four
or flEe thatchers and some servants
lettering outside, but not a hands
turn of work had been done More
over 1t was evident that they had
not the slightest intention of begin
ming, for one of the thatchers ap-
preached me with joined hands, and
said,
"You may hang me If you like,
sahib, but cannot work at that
house"
"Why, what Is the matter with it?"
/ asked, wonderingly.
"Come and see"
Calling the other workmen, who
had tied their hooked iron tools to
the extremites of long bamboos, we
approached the house, and then,
standing by the doorways, began eau
tiously and apprehensively to pull
down the chut, or ceiling-cloth,
The sight that met our eyes absO-
lutely beggared description. The
whole roof, thatch, rafters and beams,
seemed literally alive with cobras.
They swarmed In hundreds; hooded
crests and angry heads Kissed at us
from every nook and corner On ex-
aiming the house further we found
that the walls, made Of sun dried
bricks, we're completely honeycombed
with holes and snake-channels; and
it was evident that the cobras had
used the spot for years as a sort Of
nursery for bringing up their young.
l am glad to add that, next day, the
bungalow was burned to the ground.

A BAD MAN IN OHIO.


but Ho Flourlshed Century and Halt
Ago.
A short time ago William Gable, a
young man, was working near big
rock in the northwestern corner OF
Morgan County, Ohio, says the To
ledo Blade He accidentally knocked
some moss off it and revealed two or
three letters chiseed in the surface.
He began to dig at once and rem0v-
ing the remaining moss found mes
sage from Lewis Whetzle, or Wetzel,
as he Is known to pioneer history.
On the face Of the rock Is the legend
"Enjoy the peace which ] have pre-
pared for YOU" and to the right Of
this Is the inscription cut into the
sandstone; Engraved by me, Lewis
Whetzle, born In Virginia, Febru-
airy 10Th, 1862"
The discovery Of this rock, long
buried beneath the woods moss and
leaves, brings to mind once more the
wonderful deeds ofdarlng of Whetzle.
Close to this rock ran the old Federal
trail, which led from Grave Creek to
the Scioto towns 1t crossed the
Muskingum River at the present
town of Gaysp0rt The town Of
the Delaware Indians was Duncan's
Falls, five miles up the river. The
trail ran close to this lettered rock
on the high ridge just above 1t, and
1t Is very likely that Whetzle did the
work while on one Of his scouting ex-
petitions along this trail 1t was ON
one of these that Whetzle, armed
only with his knife and tomahawk,
attacked a camp of four Indians.
Three of them he killed, the fourth
ran for his life and escaped.
Whetzle was q wonderful man In
many respects Not very tall, only
five feet nine inches, he was a man
of enormous strength. His shoulders
were those of a giant and his chest
gave notice to all that he could run
race with any savage and win. He
was as dark and swarthy as an In
dian, and his face was deeply pltted
with the smallpox His hair, and
this was his special pride, reached,
when combed to its full length, to the
calves Of his legs, and every Musk
ingum Indian had sworn to have his
scalp His eyes were black and shone
with a fierce fire. He feared Moth
ing and was wild or tame as he was
either enemy or friend.
His name will be forever connected
with the history Of the border along
the Ohio and through West Virginia.

two closets and stationery wash
bowl
The second story contains four
large chambers, with an abundance
of closet room, good servants bed
room over kitchen, and large bath
room; hot and cold water Is supplied
to all wash-bowls, sink and bath.
There is also large attic over the
second floor, capable of being fin
ished off into two or three rooms II
desired, and yet have enough for
storage. The roof is shngled, and
the exterior walls clapboarded; the
interior finished in pine, which Is
filled and vanished, the cut and in
clsed work being picked out in ebony.
The estimated cost of this house Is
1000, and is good example Of
what can be done for that sum, as
the general arrangement Is such as
to show considerable variety on the
exterior, producing an architectural
effect only obtained by the natural
combinations and workings Of the
constructive part Of the structure
with the least expenditure Of labor
and detail in design. This is one of
the most attractive homes for the
amount expended, and for the coun-
try is all that is desirable in every
respect.

inserted and seized, and into the Thin
bic was secured the valve. The en-
yelope of the balloon being complete,
it was placed within the netting, the
top of which was secured about the
valve ring, and upon ropes being at
tached to the ring the balloon and net
ting were hoisted, air was again blown

gear, with basket, was attached, after
which came the captive .gear-that is,
the cable which holds the balloon when
it asceuds. All was pei feet and the
General Myer" was ready for use.
How he Cab Is Made.
The cable serving to hold the balloon
captive is made OF several strands of
steel wire, having in its center an in
sulated wire for telephone work, the
outside strands acting as return wires
The balloon with complete equip
ment, is now at the Fort Riley, Kan,
School of instruction, whore it is be-
ing used in instructing the signal
corps at that pos 1t has been pro-
nounced by experts as a masterpiece
in military ball on building.
This il not the first time the United
States army ha, made use Of balloons.
During the civil war the federal gov
eminent recognized their value for
making OBJ eryations. In the month
of September, 1861, one of the m st
daring aeronauts, La Mountaine,
furnished important information to
Gen. Mcclellan. His balloon rose from
the northern camp Of the Potomac and
pa sed above Washington. The ropes
were then cut and La Mountaine roe
to the height of mile and half and
found himself directly over the lines
of the enemy. There he was able to
