Parrott's Flying Machine.


The Review says that a sue
cessful trial of inventor Parrott's
airship is reported to have been
made at Goldendale, Wash, Sat
urday. 1t took Mr.. Parrott just
20 minutes to get his ship ready,
and he invited any two persons
present to get in and ride with
him, but all declined the honor.
Mr.. Parrott did rot insist, but
climbing into the car, he turned
a wheel on his engine, the pro-
pellers began to revolve, the aer-
opIanes were run out to their
farthest extension, and in a
moment the ship lifted from the
ground and sailed swiftly along,
steadily incresingits height from
the ground until it had reached
a height of 150 feet, when Mr..
Parrott, in order to show his con
troll of the machine, maintained
it at that height while he turn
ell it in a large circle, brought il
back to the starting point and
slowing down his engine settled
lightly to the ground. After

THE LARGEST CRUCIFIX.
1t Was Constructed for a Cemetery
In Buffalo. n Y

II the clouds to-day permit a sunset worthy
of the name the last rays Of light, gIinting over
the spires OF the city, Will fall upon the largest
crucifx in the world. 1t Is customary with
Catholics to erect in ther cemeteries a crucitix
as a place for public worship and in this re-
spect the battle-ground OF the united German
and French Roman Catholic Cemetery Associa-
lion at Pine Hill has long been lacking. Over
two years ago the association determined to fill
the want. and accordingly contracted for cru
ciix which should be credit to the church, the
cemetery and the city.
The stone is Barre granite, and cross and
figures are cut from one solid piece. The block
when Quarried was thirty feet long, twelve feet
wide, aud between four and five feet thick, and
weighed 100 tons. This great mass has been cut
away so that now IL weighs thirty tons. The
crucIflx when erected will stand twenty-flx feet
high, the breadth of arms will be ten feer and
The shaft Will be three feet six inches square.

THE PERT SPARROWS.
They Were Having Lots of Fun
When the Rome Gave WaY.

Two impertinent sparrows met curious and
untimely death In the presence of an interested
crowd few days ago. One Of the Cunard
steamships was being warped into her dock
while crowds of people on the pier and the YES
sci were chatting at the delay and slOwness OF
the tedious process. thick hawser fastened
to capslan near the bow was being used in
the warping process and was stiff as a pole
under the tremendous strain.
The sparroWs who had been tWitterlng and
chirping about the place tluttered out 10 ex-
anime the hawser. Evidently 1t was a new
perch stretched for their benefit where it would
afford good view of both boat and pier, they
first the slight vibration of the big rope caused
them some uaeasIness. but they soon got over
II and fell so boxing fun at the waiting people.
They would glance pertly first at the travellers.
then at the eXpec ant friends, and then they
would turn 10 each other and chlrp out imper-
tinent, guying remarks and twitter with glee
until they nearly fell off their perch.
In the very midst OF their enjoyment some
hing happened. There was a muf1ed report
and the thick hawser parted like q thread just
where the feathered jokers had BEEN standing,
causing the dOckmen to run as one md came
wriihiDg toward them like snake. 1t was
Hemans' 20 M; the birds, oh, where were
they? Two little fluffy lunches OF feathers

lady on the pier.
Then a new hawser took the place OF the old.

BERKELEY.

Some question has been raised of the
eligibility of Professor William Carey
Jones as member Of the Board of Free
holders. Professor Jones was not able to
cast his ballot on November 6. and it was
argued that he WAS not properly qualified
to serve on the Board of Freeholders, and
having served the question was raised as
to how his being On the board would affect
the legality of the charter. Professor
Jones states in reply that in the opinion
OF himself and his attorneys he was eligible
to the position. and even if there should
be question of his eligibility from tech
meal point of view the board was a de
facto board, and if its charter was accepted
by the electors of the town it would be
perfectly legal, as it was signed By more
Than a majority of the Freeholders, the
constitution requiring only that majority
sign it,
The facts that have raised the question
are as follows: Professor Jones has been
a resident, pr0perty-owner and voter 10
Berkeley for many years, having never
neglected TO cast his ballot, until in 1892
being 10 Europe, he of course could not
vote. On his return he did not register,
and only learned Of that necessity when
he presented himself at the polls at the
last November election. He is otherwise
than this a qualified elector, the require
ment for freebooter.
Professor Jones' recent election as
member OF the Board of Trustees Is the
first instance of university instructor ap-
Dearing in the work of the town govern
ment. AS q professor OF Jurisprudence,
and a duly qualified attorney, Professor
Jones is peculiarly fitted for the WORK, and
will undoubtedly do much to set a new
standard of WORK in the town legislation.
Those present at the board meeting when
Professor jones' took his seat comment
upon the change in the d spatch of bust
ness. the present twenty minutes seeing as

The Bond Filed.
The bond required to hold the franchise
for a street electric road on Bancroft way
way filed yesterday BY j. George Gardner,
with Theodore Wagner and Otto Niehaus
as sureties. The franchise requires that
the work shall begin within sixty days
from the acceptance of the bid by the
board, which was on December 3. The
road must be finished within one year.
A Woman's Gymnasium.
A number of the ladies of Berkeley have
requested the Crescent Athletic Club to
allow them the privilege of using their
gymnasium at certain hours. The club IS
in favor of forming a woman's annex, but
will postpone action until the club Is In

CHAMPAGNE IN AMERICA.
How 1t Is Made After the Method of
France.


The building OF A. b. g. Co. Is on the shore of
the lake, and. being constructed OF huge blocks
OF quarried stone, looks like medieval cas-
tie. The outside gives one little notion Of the
size and the capacity OF the establishment.
There are fourteen separate vaults, or cellars,
and these extend far under the hill. Together
they are 1872 feet long and los feet wide.
Stored underground are 100000 bottles of
champagne made by the French method-i. e.,
by fermentation in the bottle.
You enter; the nos rils are tfckled with the
odor of the wines. You see the watts beaped full
with luscious grapes; the two double wine
presses are working and squeezing out the life.
blood of the berries; the liquid stream Is pour
ing into large tanks; the men are bare-armed,
their hands and faces smeared with red STAINS
you see this, and can imagine BacchuS and his
merry crew holding high carnival.
This new wine, or must" after Ir deposits
its lees in the course of a few days. Is run into
casks holding from 1000 TO 1000 gallons each.
Here 1t remains for six or eight weeks that is,
until 1t has passed through its first fermenta-
ton. Then 1t Is racked off into other casks
and is now ready for mixing.
The composition of the blend is, of course,
one OF the secrets of The art. The French
wine-maker mixes the juice OF black grapes
with that OF white cranes in the proportion OF
three TO one. The American wine-makrr does
about the same. He takes juice Of the black
Concord ana Isabella grapes and mixes it with
that OF the red Catawba. iona aud Delaware

The great point Is 10 get the right amount OF
sacchariDe matter. so as to cause neither too
much nor too little effervescence; il too much.
the bottles break afterward; il too ,little the
wine becomes dull, fiat and insipid. Thus the
