Recently the lifeboat society at
Cronstadt received news that toward
the south shore of the Gulf of Finland,
about thirty miles from Cronstadt,
some 200 fishermen and peasants. with
their horses and sleighs, had been sud-
denly carried out to sea on large ice
foe, which had been detached appar-
eatly by recent storm. The ice-cut-
ting boats at Cronstadt were laid up
for the winter, and could not be used.
Twenty sailors, however. with two
officers and assistant surgeons, were
dispatched over the ice with two life
boats on runners, and similar party
started to the rescue from Oran' en-
baum, on the other side of the mouth
of the Neva- The latest kilograms
from Cronstadt state that the fisher
men and others have been found and
all rescued by means OF a bridge made
Of poles and planks, which was thrown
ont from the firm ice. They had been
cut off from the mainland for at least
forty.eight hours, during the latter

over to them by the inhabitants of the

Three days in the week, from morning
until o'clock in the afternoon, were
assigned to the reception of visitors,
the same hours of the other three
days being devoted to the return
ing of calls. On pleasant after
moons it was the custom oil the
President to drive, nfter o'clock. his
favofite companion being his daughter
Letitia- While driving through the
heavily wooded districts which then
marked the present suburbs of the

The President's family was also in

10 o'clock, when any one and every one
was privileged to pay .his or her re-

Mrs Semple presided, among other
festivities, over the dinner and ball
given by the President in honor of the
Prince de Joinville and his suite. She
was present also at the stretching Of
the first telegraph wire between Wash

easy for me to believe that she had
been the most popular of Brigham
Young's nineteen wives She is tall
and symmetrical of form, dignified and
graceful of manner. and brilliant
conversationalist. The silvery locks
which tell of the fifty and five years of
her eventful life, are mingled with
threads of gold. reminiscent of the
beauty of former years, and the large
blue eyes have lost nothing of their
fire and expressiveness. Mrs Young
told me that she had never before sub

sentative of the press. She Twas aware
that many unauthehtic and untruthful
newspaper articles had been published
about herself and her late husband,
and it was to correct the false impress

Harriet Amelia Folsom was born
Aug. 20, 1885, In Buffalo, N. Y, the
birthplace also of Frances Folsom,
now Mrs. Cleveland. A near relative
of Mrs. Young, who has taken some
interest in the genealogy of the fam
lily, says that Mrs. Cleveland and
Amelia Folsom Young are cousins
having sprung from the same original
Folsom family in New Hampshire
Mrs Young when approached on this
subject desired not to talk, stating
that she had no knowledge of just
what kinship, if any. she bears to Mrs.
Cleveland, never having looked up her
| genealogy with any such object in
view, but Massachusetts, member OF
the Folsom family having traced their
genealogy says the two famous women
are second cousins
The Mormon church was religious
infant when Amelia Folsom was born,
and it was not until she was three
years of age when her parents en-
braced the new faith of Joseph Smith,
another New Yorker.

New York Press: Mr. J. A. Corcorsn
of Jersey City has just completed a
novel experiment. in the application of a
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant though an experimental
one. is now in operation without rs
yet Single mishap. and tho storage
cells furnish curreit for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr.. Corco-
rams residence. Everything points to
tile E5mplete success of the scheme.
The mill has diameter of eighteen
feet, and at speed Of twenty miles
horse power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges set
of storage batteries. 1t is SO designed
that throughout the wide variations of
speed of the windmill it maintains the
potential constant Mr.. Corcoran
says that the application OF windmill
to run the dynamos OF ar electric
lighting p,,:.rt will place electricity in
the homes of thousands who can thus
secure their motive power from nature.
A windmill is not n very costly struc-
ture, and any one who owns bit OF
open land about his residence can
erect one and fit up his simple electri-
| cal apparatus inside Of it The thou
| sands of windmills one sees in travel
ing over the country, if Mr.. Corcoran's $
scheme proves a permanent success
may be utilized for lighting the resi-
dences of the owners and those of
their neighbors, as we'll as drawing
water for stock. One windmill will
| light half dozen residences at the
same time.
mill occupies floor space OF only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
! HIGH. The dynamo has maximum
current capacity OF ....--ty-five amperes
at thirty-fve volts and is put into
action when the speed is 600 revolu'
tions rer minute, that is, when an
| eight-mile breeze is blowing.
A great thing that deferred expert
ments with windmills was the wind
itself, but it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
~ miles per hour that can be depend
ed on throughout the United States
| While the maximum and the minimum
rate. of course, vary during different
| seasons at the sea-coast and in differ
ent localities, the average rate of ~
miles can be obtained at almost any
point in the country. Near the sea-
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will he made thrOuphout the
country to apply the plan of generat-
ing electricity with the aid of wind
So it will be readily seen that the util-
ization of tine waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front
Engineers now study applications
which were hardly considered proper
for a sane man to consider dozen
wears ago

Finally after having shown the folly of all
these ways he very iBnocently suggested that

A PRETTY SCENE.
How English school Girls Are Drilled
and Exercised.

Some weeks ago, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, when the prince OF Wales
opened new board school in Clerken-
well, the part of the function which
must have made the princes visit a
delight to him came at the. end. In
the lower hall of the school some of
the children from Montem street board
school, Finsbury Park, gave their royal
highnesses and the other distinguished
visitors an exhibition of musical drill
and physical exercises
A prettier sight was never seen. To
the music of piano the children,
some forty of them, all charmingly
dressed in loose eau-de-Nil frocks,
danced, two by two. into the hall, two
tiny lit4le things leading and the
others in order of size following.
And having executed some prelim-
mary movements, they went through

Tho wake Woke Him to Life.

The particulars OF an extraordinary
case Of trance. which was mistaken
for death, are published by the Irish
Times. A young man, aged 22,
named Garrisan, living at Ballina-
cree, near Oldcastle, was believed to
have died. He had been ailing fo-
some time. and all the appearances
of death were shown, so that no
doubt of his decease was entertained.
The usual wake preparatory to burial
was begun, and number OF neigh
bors had arrived at the house to
share the night watches. Suddenly
signs OF animation were observed in
the apparently lifeless body. Five
minutes later it WAS clear that the
young man had been in trance and
was on the way to recovering his
senses The occurrence created a
great sensation. Many OF those
present fed from the house and
would not return. All were deeply
moved and the scene for some time
was one of intense excitement

The iutiiity Of tiiins steel armol
plates on war vessels is being
demonstrated At the new test
ing ground Of the Cramps, says
the Philadelphia Record There,
At intervals of . few days, conical
steel shells are fred through four
inchea Of solid steel armor plate with
"a apparent ease a. though the plates
were The aimsiest eAtdhoard The
range Is on the Lewis farm, above
Wheatsheaf Lane. along the Delaware
river. The shella which ure three
inches In diameter and ten inches long,
are forged from the finest hardened
steel and fitted by the Cramps for use
In the United States army and navy,
and 1t is to test the quality of the steel
in different lots that these experiments
are being conducted.
A heavy abutment Of railroad ties
has been erected us a fender to hold a
bank Of earth, and in front Of that Is
placed heavy oak plank box, five
feet square and ten feet long, which is
filed with sand.
@ Against another fender in front of
this box is set up one of the armor
plates, such as are used on the armored
cruisers and battleships now being
built One hundred feet distant from
the plate is the firing house-a plank
building about 80 feet long by 10 wide,
and double lined to deadcn sound.
Two 3-inch rapid-firing briggs Schroe-
der guns are used in the tests. When
every thing is ready for firing, Ian
yard is passed put Of the back of the
building and through an aperture in a
pile of heavy spruce joist, the gun liav-
ing previously been sighted.
When the gun is fired, the wall of
steel is pierced by the projectile, leav-
ing only fringe around the hole
where the shot passed out on the op-
posite side. 1t is then sought for in
the sand in the box and examined
closely as to condition OF course the
shell is not charged, or it would ex-
plode and blow up the box and all
around after going through the steel.
Not all the shells fired at the steel
armor plate go through it, and this is
considered sufficient cause for con-
domination of that batch Of projectiles
