A FLYING STREET CAR.
An Aerial Whaleback to Run by Troll<
at the Antwerp Exposition.

An Aerial Whaleback to Run by Trolley
at the Antwerp Exposition.
A flying street car is the latest novelty
which an ingenious Belgian has devised
for the convenience and amusement of
visitors to the Antwerp exposition. He
does not call it flying street car, but
"grand balloon dirigible' is the Belgian
way Of putting it.
In appearance the flying street car re-
sembles the famous Pennington airship
or miniature whaleback upside down.
The floating apparatus is a huge cigar
shaped bag, to which is attached the
street car itself. In the front or PROV of
the car is an immense fan or propeller,
and at the other end an apparatus like a
barn door in three sections, which pro-
vides rudder.
The car is divided into three sections,
one for the motorman, another for the
passengers and third, which CORE
spends about in size to the baggage
apartment on a suburban car, is for the
use Of the conductor.
The much abused trolley system has
been turned to good account in connec-
ton with this flying street car, as from
the overhead wire the electricity is OBJ
tanned with which to work the motor.
Connecting the car with this overhead
wire is travelling cable, one end OF
which connects with the motor, the other
being attached to trolley which slides
along the wire as the car moves.
In the rear compartment of the car
where the conductor has his quarters, is
all the paraphernalia for lowering the
machine. "A stout ships anchor attached
by wire cable to a windlass, which in
turn is connected with the electric motor,
provides the means for hauling down the
flying car when a station is reached
where passengers are to alight.
The first practical demonstration OF
this aerial means of rapid transit will be
made during the Antwerp exposition.
One model machine is already pretty
well advanced toward completion, the
termini Of the route being the exposition
grounds and the bourse at Antwerp,
which are about mile apart
! During the exposition trips will be
made every half hour by this novel
means Of locomotion, and the success Of
the experiment. may probably revolu-
honize street car traffic. One great
drawback to its popularity, however, is
that the trip Of a mile will cost francs,
or $1.-Philadelphia Press.

TAX BACHELORS.
The Matrimonial Market Would b
Doomed and Commerce Benefited.

The Matrimonial Market Would Be
Doomed and Commerce Benefited.
We commend the suggestion recently
offered by Baltimore woman to the ef-
feet that tax should be levied on bach
elors. There is something in this prop
osition that commends itself to the
judicial mind. It does not, for instance,
attack social class. It makes no dis
elimination between the rich and the
poor. The idea is to tax every bachelor
who cannot show that he is unable to
marry because of having to support de-
pendent relatives to the extent of $40 per
100000 Of marriageable bachelors in
the United States, and that at least
100000 of these have no valid excuse
for their selfish and useless condition.
A tax of $40 per capita, therefore,,
would yield $40, 100000. It could be col
lected without much expense. It would
do no great harm, and it would have the
merit Of providing its own remedy for
those who felt unwilling to pay. IF it
accomplished nothing else, it would COM
municate a powerful boom to the matri-
monial market, and SO, for every $40 that
the government lost, put at least $100
into general circulation. It might, to be
sure, divert some Of those thin but noisy
little rills that run to ice cream, soda
water, steamed oysters, theater tickets
and philopenas, but it would turn loose
whole torrents into the Golfers of the
butcher, the baker, the grocer, the
apothecary, the family physician and the
wet nurse.
And though under such dispensation
the American youth might put on the
yoke Of Hymen rather than be taxed as
a renegade to that rosy deity, and though
government might thus be compelled to
seek elsewhere for a revenue, the revolu-
ton would so fill the land with new &C
tivity, SO load the air with the perfume
Of paregoric, and SO throng the parks
and sidewalks with nursemaids that the
whole nation would feel the impulse and
all mankind be made the happier and
better through its influence. Either the
treasurer would get a revenue or society
be purified and population stimulated.
The real cause Of the commercial de-
preston is want of confidence, the hoard
ing Of money, stagnation in trade and
dearth Of investment, but with 1000, ,00O
of young brides moving into new quar-
ters, setting up independent establish
ments and preparing for the responsible
ties and the consequences of wedlock
the wheels of industry would once more
begin to hum and the pulses Of business
go to beating with fresh force and vigor.

LOST IN A STORM.
The Terrible Experience of Young Hunt
In the Mountains.

The Terrible Experience of Young Hunt
III the Mountains.
Harry Hardinot, a resident of York
vile, Mendocino county had an expert
ence last wefl. that will probably result
ing in the mountains on Wednesday, and
becoming confused lost his way and
wandered over the mountains for three
days and two nights il the storm with
put bite to eat or shelter.
The sewers cold and snow which pre-
vailed made his suffering most intense.
The first nigbto out he succeeded in build
ing q fire and kept watch during the long
weary hours. The next day he started
again in his fruitless search for trail or
anything to indicate the way to civiliza-
tion The rain drenched him through
and through.
At this time, he not returning home,
the neighbors were notified, and a search
ing party Of 81 mountaineers was organ
lied. All the adjacent hills, mountains,
gulches and creeks were secured with
out the least discovery. ....
Thursday night snow fell on the noun
tains to great depth, and the cold was
terrible. The unfortunate wanderer was
driven before it, his mind almost unbal-
anced by the hardships he had endured.
His travels were through the toughest
country-in places never before visited
by man. Friday morning found him al
most exhausted, yet the spark Of life
which was left gave him hope, and he
kept moving. At last he saw fence
and followed. He was now SO exhausted
that he was compelled to lie down and
rest every rod Of the way.
At last he was rewarded in seeing the
house Of Rodney Lowery on the Rock
pile ranch, q sheep range Of many thou
sand acres. Mrs. Lowery saw him COM
ing and ran to his assistance, fearing
that he was wounded, as he still clung
to his rifle. He could hardly tell his
name, he was so bewildered in mind.
He had been out in the elements Sc
hours, and his emaciated condition told
too plainly Of his keen suffering. Satur-
day afternoon two of the searching
party found him at the isolated home of
the shepherd, and the following day he
was conveyed to his homenear Yorkville,
where he is now under medical treat
ment. It is feared that he will never re-
cover his health, and if SO his mind will
be entirely gone, owing to the terrible
experience he passed through.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRAT.
Will His Hatred of Germany Overc ONE
His Horror of War?

His Horror of War?
The situation is strange, lurid and in a
sense humiliating. Armed Europe waits
upon the ultimate mandate of one man
"The heaven for height" says Solomon
"the earth for depth, and the heart of
kings is unsearchable." Gar Alexander
Ill has two ruling emotions-a horror Of
war and hatred of Germany. The
problem is, Which passion in him shall
conquer the other? Trammeled by no
parliament, influenced neither by re-
sponsible ministers nor by personal ia
vorites, the big, lonely despot is wres-
tling out that problem single handed. 1t
Is an awful position.
There is no real public opinion in Rus
sia whose voice might sway the auto
crat. He must fight out his own battle
with himself. Probably no solution
would better please him individually
than general disarmament but that is
hopeless. We must leave him to his
wrestlings with himself. Meanwhile, at
all events, there is period of reasona-
bly, assured respite. Russia is never
quite ready, and the millennium will
probably surprise her in her chronic at
titude of unreadiness. At present she
is swapping not horses, but rifles. A
year ago there was not q magazine rifle
in the Russian army, and the great ma
iority of her soldiers are still armed
with the improved 'Berdan," very in
ferior weapon both to the German and
the Austrian rifle.
But Russia retains still the warning
memory Of her fearful losses before Plev-
ma from the Remingtons, which America
| placed in the hands of the Turks, and
with which her obsolete Krenkes could
not cope. After much tedious expert
menting, a year ago definite selection
was made Of a weapon known as the
'tthree line" rifle, and the production and
issue Of this frearm are being pushed
forward with great energy. But you
cannot order in 100000 rifles as you
can bundle of toothpicks. believe
that about third of the requisite guam
tity is now delivered.
It is absolutely impossible that the
equipment can be completed and the
troops trained to the use Of the new
weapon within the present year. ltseems
extremely improbable that this result can
be attained before the spring of 1896.
The opportunity for war-I do not say
the certainty of war-will come when
Russia shall have completed the equip
ment of her hosts with the "three line''
rihe.-Archibald Forbes in North Amer
lean Review.

A UNIQUE MURDER TRIAL.
Brutal Way In Which Woman Protested
Against Her Husbands Infidelity.

Brutal Way In Which a Woman Protested
Against Her Husbands Infidelity.
A murder trial, believed to be unique
in the criminal history Of this country,
terminated in the Liverpool assizes last
week. Margaret Walker, aged 53, had
many peculiarities, but the one which
brought her into trouble was her objec-
ton to her husband carrying on an illicit
amour. Her duty, judged by the Brit
ish standard, was to protest, and if re-
monstrance failed to suffer in silence.
Mrs. Walker, not being made of submis-
sive material, confined herself to the
former course, and she protested with
such vigor that she is now widow and
an occupant Of condemned murderer's
cell. It came about in this way:
Her husband last summer imprudent-
ly renewed certain relations with a wom-
an Of whom his wife had long been jeal-
GUS. On returning home Mrs. Walker
gave him good thrashing, and as that
did not convert him she in a masterful
manner hustled him up stairs, chained
him to bedpost in the topmost room of
the house and kept him there to the day
of his death, which was Nov. 16 last.
During the four months Of his captivity
he was visited and thrashed every day
by his strong willed and strong nerved
spouse. There were several dodgers in
the house, and they heard the mans
cries every day, but got used to them
and never dreamed of telling the police.
Finally, on the morning of Nov. 16,
Mrs. Walker finished the novel disciple
nary course of treatment by battering in
her erring husbands head with mass
i've steel chain. The doctors said the
mans body was mass Of wounds and
bruises.
The murder, brutal and revolving as it
was, would not have attracted much at
tention had the victim been some long
suffering wife. What strikes the public
Imagination is that woman should dare
to kill her husband in such a masculine
fashion, and that it is possible for a hui
man being in the second city of the en-
pire to be kept a prisoner for four
months and slowly done to death. Mrs.
Walker will probably be hanged. The
judge, in sentencing the woman, warned
her not to hope for mercy.-Liverpool

Nonoonformists Make Trouble.

A correspondent says that the noncon-
formist farmers Of Wales, in order to
convince the government of the necessity
for the early Introduction of bill for
disestablishing the state church there,
are again refusing to pay tithes. They
have adopted Irish Land league methods
Of resisting and assaulting the sheriff s
officers, barricading houses and even in
dulging in moonlighting. It is not i'm
probable that the military will have to
be called upon to assist the civil power.
The Tories are arranging for new cam
paign in Wales by flooding the country
with orators and literature in the inter-
est of the state church.

A Well Worn Bond.

f A curiosity in the shape of Delhi
town bond for $500 was turned in to the
town treasurer a few weeks ago. It was
punctured SO full Of pinholes as to be al
most unreadable, and it bore other evi-
dences Of hard usage. AS soon as its
genuineness was determined, however,
the money was paid on it, and county
official made an investigation. It's late
owner finally admitted that he had car
ried the bond for years pinned fast to his
undershirt, and that as he changed his
shirt quite frequently the bond had be-
come full Of pinholes. Delhi IN. ~

The Most Successful Gas Engine


In the market is run without an electric
spark battery. Theory is all very we'll,
but the every day experience of constant
practical use is the best test of merit.
The man who runs a launch and finds
himself drifting with tide and wind be-
cause the "spark" fails to ignite the
charge Of gas IN his engine; the man
who prints daily paper and fails to get
it off on time because the "spark" again
fails; the man who has fruit that is in
jured for lack of irrigation because the
"spark fails in his engine that runs the
pump; not only such parties but others
who have trouble from like causes should
bear in mind that the Hercules gas and
gasoline engine is free from such difficult
ties. The ignition is simple and sure.

hand engines of other makes at cheap
