SINKING OF THE GULF COAST.
New Orleans Now Only Ten Fee
Above the Gulf Level.

New Orleans Now Only Ten Feet
Above the Gulf Level.
From the Boston Transcript
The Mississippi river commission, which
reached New Orleans November II, after
Its annual inspection Of the !evees and the
work Of river improvements, finds itself
confronted by an entirely new problem, a
serious difficulty which may interfere with
the work it has under way, and which,
under all circumstances, demands a
thorough examination, the reported sink
ing of the gulf coast. The theory that the
land is sinking, not only on the Gulf of
Mexico. but also on nearly all other coasts.
has long been accepted by scientists, but
the rate of subsistence reported from Hol-
land OF less than oue-tenth Of an inch a
year was so slow as to create no apprehen-
sion on the part of the present generation.
The report of the sinking of the Louisiana
coast was accepted at first, by the Missis-
slppl river commission and the public gem
orally as one of those scientific sensations
that geoioSists denght in. In the last
four months, however, the report has been
thoroughly confirmed and verified from
many points. The United States engineers
and the river commission now accept the
II cory that the land in lower Louisiana is
sinking at a startling rate, never before re-
ported: and they are compelled to face this
1act and TO determine to what extent it is
likely to Interfere with tho work of river
iEg has been going on for some time, as
see ms certain, then the estimates and cal
culations upon which the government work
is based are uncertain or incorrect
This has been limited at by the outlet or
anti-levee men, although they never seem
to have understood what was the cause of
the trouble. They have complained that
the gauges or datum lines by which the
height of the water in the river is measured
are incorrect, but they charge this to fraud
whereas the probability is that 1t is due to
the sinking of the land, carrying down with
it in slow and gradual subsistence the gauge
or datum mark. If this latter supposition
is correct, it may explain what has greatly
puzzled the engineers, the fact that the
floods in the Mississippi seem to grow high
er and higher a result which the outlet ad-
vCcates attribute to the levees.
The gauge at the mouth of the Mississippi
showed not long since that the waters of
the gulf had apparently risen one foot since
1877. AS this rise was out of question the
difference could only be due to the subsi-
dence Of the land. How long this has been
going on is unknown, but doubtless for CEN
turtles. and it gives entirely new geo
logical explanation of the origin of the
lower louisiana. The sinking may inundate
some of the low lying lands on the gulf
and compel their abandonment, and the
fear Is expressed that the subsistence may
more or less interfere with and hinder the
work OF laying sewers underground in New
Orleans. The commission thinks, however,
that from what 1t can foresee at present
there Is no immediate danger to the city,
although it stands only ten feet above the
gulf levels

MRS. FREMONTS HOME.
A Picturesque and Attractive Spot in
California.
From the Scranton Truth

From the Scranton Truth.
Among all the fine homes and beautiful
grounds in West Los Angeles, a very
few of them old places belonging to pio-
heer settlers on the coast and now in pos
session of their children. the one that in
terested me most in passing is the pretty
home Of Mrs Jessie Benton Fremont Sc
cured to the brave generals widow chiefly
by the women of California. 1t stands just
outside the city limits in one of the most
beautiful streets Of the place. and is set
down in the very center of what was an
orange orchard, trees enough being cut out
to make place for it. Driving Into town
along Main street, which is the only street
entirely through the city and on, to the
ocean on the west and toward the Sierra
on the east, one passes an old adobe house
where Gen. Fremont lived for a time in the
early days
1t is said to have been very picturesque
and whole rows of enthusiastic sketchers
might for time be seen seated on camp
stools across the broad avenue. transferring
it's outlines to paper or canvas. But 1t has
been made commonplace by modern wooden
additions. AT the eastern end of the mod
ern city Broadway, formerly Fort street,
ends against a high bluff or hill on which
General Fremont in 1876 erected his fort
and took possession of the old Spanish
Mexican city, which the height completely
dominates, and Of the entire country, in the

in proportion to its weight. The car, hung
beneath, will be of tool steel, not thick,

The most important consideration in the
question of aerial warfare is not the dam
age done, but the moral effect produced.
No hostile fleet of ships would dare to
come near the shores Of the United States
if we owned a few practical war balloons,
because to do so would mean certain de-
struction
The Captive Balloon.
A practical use for the airships in war
has already been found in the captive bal
loon, which Is elevated to height of 1000
feet or so. being anchored to the ground by
a rope, through which copper wire runs.
This wire affords telephone communica ton
with the aerial car. from which the OBJ
server gives notification of what he sees.
In this way a full description of the enc

tons can be obtained. II desired. the tele-
phone wire may communicate with the
headquarters of the commanding general

ried in three Wagons one conveying the
balloon packed in basket. and the others
containing cylinders :ilied with ,.olnprcsSetl
hydrogen gas. When it is desired to make
an ascent, the balloon Is ready in fifteen
minutes Sketch maps may be sent down
by the rope.

IMITATION FURS.

By Skillful Treatment Rabbit Skins
Resemble the Costly Seal.
From the Chicago Times Herald
After the furier. chemist and dyer have
got through with the rabbit skin it may be a
''sealskin," a sable an "otter," a "Sibe-
rian squirrel a mink" ''marten," IA
beaver or any other fashionable fur. The
Transformation takes place in the shops
which sell felt to hatmakers carpet weavers
and felt manufacturers, and Paris and Lon
don are the principal centers for this indus
try. In those cities millions of rabbit skins
are dressed and treated. and the bogus furs
are sent out to robe men ard women of all
parts of the world
Inc skins are purchased soon after they
have been stripped from bunny's back, and
are stiff and hard hen they are unpacked
In the sorting room Experts examine each
skin. and these Which come up to the es-
tablished standard are sent to the furrierS
but the torn, unders.zcd and punctured pelts
are turned over to the men and women who
strip the hide of it's hair for the feltmaker
Rabbit skins are not the only pelts which
are transformed into furs that bear the
names of animals living in ice and snow
Monkeys from Africa and South America
send their skins to the furriers to be made
into fine ra.ment Cats are skinned to sup
ply the demand for sealskins and beaver.
The shaggy curls of the Newfoundland dog
are ma de into buffalo robes and the skins of
fox tailed squirrels are sold as imitat tons of
rare furs.
The United States buys more imitation
furs than any other country and millions
of them are sent to China to line the mantles
and robes of nna1darins. Large numbers of
rabbit and cat skins are treated and dyed
in this country. but the French furrier has
the credit of producing the best limitations.

A Foot Ball Player In Church.

The college foot ball fever assumed an
unusual phase in Chicago recently. F. T.
Settler, a northwestern university student
and foot ball player. went to the FRS,
Methodist Church and fell asleep in a pew
din ectly in front of Bishop Foster. The
bishop was well into the depths of pro-
found sermon when the grid-iron frenzy
seized the sleeping student. He caught the
man next to bin and tried to throttle him
Then he kicked a derby hat and sent il
sailing toward the pulpit. BY this time the
pitus worshipers thought the man mad
The good bishop ceased speaking and look
ed frightened. The tackle and kick ha
aroused the slumbering faculties of Studen,
Settler. and he sheepishly apologized to the
man next to him-a solemn-vi ged gentle
man, who still believes the student possess
ed of the devil. Settler said he had dream.
ed he was playing foot ball. The bishor
looked daggers, and the young man hur-
redly left the church.

ABSURD STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Ousrageously Violated Instead of
Being Shown Mirror.

Nature Ousrageously Violated Instead of
Being Shown Mirror.
A French dramatic critic, with some
show of medical knowledge, represents
that nearly all actors and actresses
outrageously violate nature in their
limitations of death, says the Baltimore
Gazette. He cites, in confederation of
his charge, the customary theatrical
death of Camille, in the younger Du
mas favorite emotional play of that
title. According to the author, his
heroine is affected with pulmonary con-
sumption, and an incidental attack of
hemorrhage of the lungs extinguishes
her life. There is absolutely nothing
dramatic to be made out of this mode
of dying, if fidelity to fact be obeyed.
The gushing of stream of blood from
the mouth would be realistic, but the
imitation of such phenomenon is
never made by actors, male or female,
nor would any discreet manager toll
crate such piece of stage business.
Again, the overwhelming suffocation
which produces the rapid death in
Candles case is never accompanied by
commissions, such as her dying repre-
sentatives on the stage almost always
assume. In natural death from this
cause the sufferer simply collapses from
failure of the vital powers.
Theatrical poisoning scenes are also
usually untrue to nature. 1t is popu-
larly believed that when fatal dose of
laudanum or morphine is swallowed
the victim Immediately sinks into a
deathlike sleep, as is commonly seen on
the stage, whereas the first effect of
this poison taken in like quantity is in
variably to excite and enliven. Nor is
the mode of dying after the hackneyed
cardiac stage stab in conformity with
the laws of nature. The actor simply
falls at full length, or in heap, where
as the everyday member Of society
gives a spring when the heart is struck
before entering eternity by this I'M
happy gate. Even the modern Othello
has not inherited enough of Shakes
peare's wonderful fidelity to truth to
die naturally after stab through the
heart.
