whom he takes CARLISLE SHOCKED. most pride is understood to have formed an attachment which is looked upon with anything but favor by the paternal eye. It appears that when cooling himself in the moonlight at the window of a summer resort hotel, the secretary once had his meditations re- specting bonds rudely interrupted by the sight of his hope and pride enrap- tured on the beach below by the pres ence of an adored object. The adored is New York parsonage of promi- hence, in spite of a very short mum dane existence.
 Mir. Carlisle next morning investi- gated the matter very quietly and made some surprising discoveries concerning the strength of a hearts devotion. The worried and perturbed look seen on his countenance of late must not, therefore. be traced to our monetary system, now restored to a normal condition, but to the anxieties incident to a gradual real ization of the futility of interfering with the tender passion. The situation has become tense and the few who understand it await developments with interest.

his expeditions 10 Lower California. Guadaloupe island, lying one hundred and fifty miles off the coast of Lower California, was almost an unknown ter ritory to bird students, and he de termined to visit it. The island is un- inhabited and vessels do not usually pass near it, so that it was some time before he managed to secure passage on freight schooner. They landed him, with limited supply of pro- visions, agreeing to return for him in week,
 The week passed, but the schooner came not, and MT. Bryant found him. self marooned. He had collected large lot of rare specimens, and dis covered several new species of birds. From never having seen the face of man, many of the birds could be caught by hand. Delightful as the location was for the enthusiastic ornithologist, the vanished supply of provisions made his position on lonely island unenvia- ble. He was reduced to dining on she'll fish and such birds as he could secure, and did not escape to the mainland un- til three weeks afterward, when yes sel fortunately passed near the island and took off the naturalist and his specimens.

 It is pretty we'll understood that resorts exist in both London and Paris ire quented almost exclusively by Amer1- cans of means. In fact, it has become notorious that our countrymen of means on the other side take advant- age of their isolation and freedom from observation to plunge into the widest and most reckless dissipation. New York has one citizen of wealth and high position who goes abroad every year for the sole apparent purpose of reveling in Bacehanalian orgies.
 So thoroughly is this tendency of our countrymen appreciated in European capitals that the proprietors of ques- tiona ble resorts bid against each other for the patronage of liberal Americans. In both London and Paris there are professional guides whose business it is to escort visitors to and from these haunts of iniquity. These guides are very liberally fed by the proprietors of dens. The stray American is taken from one to another and revels in the vileness of all under the impression that he is seeing foreign life. The in- nocent fellow never supposed that but for fools like him these places would not exist. The average Londoner or Parisian has never so much as heard of them. Once in awhile the carvings on in these infamous resorts become so frightful that the police are forced to interfere. 1t invariably happens that an American of almost national prom. thence is caught in the police drag net. A few months ago it required the ut- most exertion of our ambassador at a European capital to prevent the ex- posture of man thus caught whose name has been prominently mentioned in connection with the governorship of one of our largest states. Vienna is particularly rich in episodes of this de- scription. tThese prominent debauchees are source of infinite annoyance to our diplomats. One senator honored and respected at home was put in pen over night with pickpocket and con- traeted 1oathsome skin disease which prolonged his stay in Europe consider ably. It is said that at the seaside re- sort which he frequented to effect a cure this great man had a spy glass with him continually and when he saw countryman approaching in the dis tanee he got up and fled. He is now rising star in politics, but has not been to Europe lately.
 The recent London raid, therefore, is very gratifying to our diplomatic serv- ice. Meanwhile, American travellers will find it profitable to keep away from the primrose path of dalliance.

to the oolegists from the extreme rarity and value of its eggs. This condor is becoming extinct, like the great auk, and as if it had forecast of its im- pending doom, it resorts to the most precipitous mountain, where, on some craggy, and perhaps inac- cessible steep, it deposits its sin gle egg, of pale greenish-blue, in a cave. But seven eggs are known in collections, and the value of one, con- sidering the probability of the great birds early extinction, is very great. More than one thousand five hundred dollars has been paid for single egg of the great auk, of which there are sixty-eight eggs in existence. America can claim two eggs of the great aux, one at Vassar college and one at the Academy of Natural Science in Phila- delphia. The latter collection held for many years among the rarities an egg of the California condor, but 1t mysteriously disappeared few years years ago, and it is supposed some scientific l1leptomaniac thought it not a sin to transfer the treasure to his own collection, where he is holding it for raise in price.
 Information as to the nesting habits of the California condor has been ex- ceedingly limited, and until 1889, when an egg was taken for H. R. Taylor, editor of the Nidiologist, no eggs had been taken since the ffties. The talk ing of this egg showed the nesting time to be early in May and that but one egg is laid. The collector secured the great egg after hazardous climb

be studied in their haunts; bird Ktera- ture, of which there is no lack, must be delved into to supply proper identifica- tion. The collector goes back to nature for knowledge, becomes proficient in the craft of the woods, and partakes, in part, of the wild, free nature of the birds. Like Thoreau, or other philos- ophers of the woods, if they do not find birds or eggs, or fruits or nuts, they find wisdom, and they find health.
 Differing from birds, and so many other objects of natural history, eggs do not always carry their own identity, and the knowledge and accuracy of the collector must be depended upon. With many of the species of sparrows and warblers it is often impossible even for an expert to name the eggs without having seen the bird, or at least the nest, for nearly all birds have each their peculiar methods of building, use certain materials and select nesting sites known to the collector who has made study of the feathered crea- tion.
 Maj. Charles E. Bendire commenced studying the habits of birds and col lecting their eggs while in active selv- ice in the United States army, his camp life in Oregon, Arizona and New Mex leo enabling him to build up a collec- tion of thousands of specimens, many being very rare. These he donated to the United States national museum at Washington, forming the basis of the present unrivaled collection, of which Maj. Bendire is the honorary curator. The government is about to publish volume two of his Life Histories of North American Birds," with superb colored plates of eggs, which is looked forward to with great interest by the biologists of the country.
 Of private egg collections one of the largest is that of J. Parker Norris, Esq, lawyer of Philadelphia, who

The condors had been frightened off by the discharge of the collectors gun, and fortunately did not return while he was in the cave.

KIDNAPPING
Proves That the Runior Had NO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Nelther
at the state department nor at the
navy department has there come
anv word from China in confirma-
ton of the reported capture by a
Chinese mob of some Of the o5lcefs
of the United States ship Concord,
who accidentally killed a native
while on a shooting expedition.
This lack of an official report has
STRENGTHENED the belief of officials
that the story was either without
foundation or else much eXagger-
ated. Had the matter been at all
serious, the commanding officer of
the Concord would have been
obliged by the naval regulations to
report the event Immediately to his
superior officer, Admiral Carpenter,
who in turn would have reported
it to the navy department, or, IL
the admiral was not within easy
communication, it would have
been the duty of the captain to have
reported directly to the navy de-
partment.

FIRST LEGISLATIVE TRIP.
House Committee Visits the Nor
NAL school at Ninona.

House Committee visits TIC NOT
NAL school at Winona.
The normal school at Winona was
visited yesterday by the members
of the house committee on normal
schools In the party were Chair
man Boobar and Messrs Douglas,
Tallman, Gutterson, Ahlstrom and
Sampson, of the committee; Repre-
sentatives Craig, Nieman, MacInnis,
Dahl and Parker; Mrs. Tailman,
Mrs. Ahlstrom, Pages Richardson
and Whitaker, and a GLOBE rep
resentative.
Leaving St. Paul at 6:55 Monday
evening over the Milwaukee road,
Winona was reached at 1850, and
the visitors were met and escorted to
The Winona. Speaker Van SAINT,
Senator Yale and Representative
Martin, of Winona, met and well
coined the party in the lobby of the
hotel. e. K. Tarbell, the proprietor,
had made arrangements for the
comfort of the visitors, and the
very best The Winona affords was
placed at their disposal.
Tuesday morning, after breakfast,
the legislators visited the Winona
normal school, the oldest institution
of its kind in the state. President
Irwin Shepard, Resident Director
Charles A. Morey and Hon. c. F.
Berry acted as hosts Of the occasion,
and escorted the guests all over the
commodious building. Several of
the young lady students acted in the
capacity of guides. After a thor
ough inspection of all departments
of this magnificent school the visit
ors were given seats on the plat
form of the large assembly hall,
where all the pupils, from the little
tots in the kindergarten to the
young ladies of the graduating
class, were gathered.
President Shepard, in opening,
gave brief history of the school and
stated its needs at present The
principal point dwelt upon was the
urgent necessity for a ladies' dor
mitory. At present the citizens of
WinOna are compelled to furnish a
residence adjacent to the school; but
this is totally Inadequate This
fact will be better understood when
it is stated that in the normal de-
partment alone there are 331 pupils,
and the total enrolment of the
school is 557.
After the statement of the presi-
dent brief addresses We're made by
Chairman Boobar, Messrs. Craig.
GuttersOn, Tallman, Ahlstrom, Mac
1nnis and Yale. The GLOBE man
was also called out, and assured the
hundreds of students that the
GLOBE is deeply interested in their
welfare and ever ready to do all it
can in their behalf.
After dinner the committee and
President Shepard and Resident Di-
rector Morey held a business meet
Ing. The deficiency appropriation to
be asked of the legislature was thor
oughly discussed, and the committee

Gen. Smith Makes aDiscoyeryVa VAL
liable to Aeronauts,

liable to AerOnauts.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Gen. William S.
Smith, the expert engineer, has some
ton of balloons for war purposes or
other uses. Speaking today of the war
balloon which Uncle Sam proposes to
have built for army balloonists at Fort
Logan, Col, Gen. Smith after pointing
out that this is the first war balloon
which will be built in this country, all
others having been made in France,
said x - @l
Some time ago, while on an engi-
neering tour, 1 sat down On the banks
of stream and watched a fish that
was floating quietly a few feet away
from the bank. l noticed that it rose
and fell at will without the slightest
movements of a fin. I became inter-
ested in the operation from mechan-
ical standpoint. L naturally supposed
that the fish was enabled to sink by
letting out a few bubbles of air But
how was he to get air to rise? That
set me to thinking, and when I studied
the matter l found that the fish rose
and fell by contraction of his muscles,
that compressed him and altered his
size slightly according to the depth he
the amount of attention the subject of
aerial navigation has lately received,
the balloon is as crude in principle as
the day it was invented. 1t is still
lowered by letting gas escape and
raised by throwing out sand bags.
When a balloon has once thrown out
its sand bags and liberated enough gas
to come to the ground it's usefulness is
at an end until it is recharged. The
present balloon therefore is not an
air travelling machine but merely the
means of a single excursion. l think
the first step in solving the problem
of aerial navigation is in making
sailing ship or balloon that is capable
of unlimited oyages-that is to say,
balloon that could come to the ground
and rise again without wasting any
gas, lie in wait for favorable winds
and do this any number of times and
be, in fact, a perpetual balloon, capa-
BILE of returning
1.-The way to do this would be to
take advantage of the principle of the
fish. AS it would not be possible to
compress the bag of a balloon, the
mechanical way would be to carry a
metal reservoir and a small hand COM
pressor instead of the sand bags, the
pump being attached to the escape
tube When the aeronaut wished to
descend he would pump part of the
gas out of the balloon into the COM
pressor. Then, when he had wealth
cred the storm or performed his errand,
the gas could be allowed to expand
again-a simple idea, but one that has
not been adopted in aeronautics."
