Coryell Bartholomew, of Jackson,
proposes to make the trip, and he
brings to his assistance in doing it the
experience of lifetime in aerostation.
He came into prominence as an aerol
naut in 1890, when he toured the world
with the Chicago and all-America base
ball teams, giving hot-air balloon ascen-
sions and parachute drops. His trip in
this particular was series of remark
able successes, and gained for him in
all the principal countries of the old
world a reputation for daring and skill.
Since that time he has been engaged in
business in jackson, and he has spent
much time in perfecting various prac-
teal inventions in the line of air navi-
cation.
The contrivance in which Bartholo-
new proposes to ride over the falls re-
sembles a huge dumb-bell in appear
ance. A hollow shaft of thin steel 100
feet long acts as an axle to two spheres
As feet in diameter, allowing enough
room on the shaft between the nam
moth balls for trapeze which will be
secured in such a manner as to allow
the spheres and axle to revolve at will
without inconvenience to the occupant
of the trapeze bar. The spheres referred
to will be constructed on a steel frame
and will be covered with rubber, and
over that a layer of cork to prevent
punctures upon sharp rocks. Inside of
each will be gas balloon as large as
the interior will admit, and when these
balloons are inflated with hydrogen gas
1t is estimated that the structure will
have a lifting power of five tons. A
sufficient amount of movable ballast
will be attached to the shaft on either
side of the trapeze to keep the machine
from rising from the water as 1t floats
down the river. When the verge of the
precipice Is reached and the plunge Is
made the ballast will be gradually re-
leased, thus allowing the continuance
to slowly settle to the bottom of the
falls. If 1t is found that the force Of
the water has been underestimate the
inventor intends to release all ballast
and make one of the most notable bal
loon ascensions known to history.
Mr.. Bartholomew is anxious to make
the trial in the summer of 1896.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest anC best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-

he safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered theii
houses fitted with the perfect light.

that you want the best and safest light; sent
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tel

THE NEW WORLD.

That charming syndicate writer
Frank C. Carpenter has given toI

tale on Money Making In Asia.
He has been out III the orient since
before the war opened. His &C
count Of the industrial and COM
mercial possibilities of China,
Japan aud Corea has the thrill OF a
romance. The facts presented and
the conclusions deduced, i'll their
operation cannot but effect Ha-
wall. which is on the highway be-
tween the Uuited States and the
New World.
Mr.. Carpenter rather thinks
Japan the more inviting field. He
says the payment of the indemnity
by China will especially boom
Toxic and cites the marvellous
growth of Berlin after the French
made a financial settlement with
the Prussians. He is certain that
in Toxic all prices will go up and
that millions may be made out OF
real estate alone. The japanese
have their stock exchange, and
their waterworks stock, their rail
road stocks and their other
stocks are regularly quoted in the
newspapers. Many of the COM
panies have been paying big divid'
ends, and this is especially so Of
the banks. Toxic has already
900, 900 people. 1t is without
electric railways and Yokohama,
only fourteen miles away,

Perry went to japan he found
Yokohama fishing village. Now
it has 100, 900 people, water works
gas and newspapers. Osaka ha'
1900, 900 people and no electric
railway.
While Japan is the country favor
