Does Electricity Kill.

Just when the killing power of cleo.
tricity is supposed to have been
proved, officially and conclusively, the
whole question has been reopened in
q startling manner. A reputable ply.
sician, who was recently engaged by
the authorities of New York state to
investigate into the effects Of electro.
cution, showed by facts, figures and
photographs that the shock, as given
to criminals from the prison dynamo,
was invariably fatal. In the face Of
this, an electrician stated positively
that a person exposed to the severest
shock can be recovered by proper
treatment. Now a lineman has been
apparently killed by the passage
through him of the frightful charge OF
5000 volts, and yet resuscitated after
two hours.

a NEW FLYING MACHINE.
"A New York Man Attempts the Aerial
Navigation Problem.


Navigation Problem.
It is pretty hard to take seriously
the man with the flying machine, and
yet it is rather dangerous to make too
much fun Of him. So many strange
things have been accomplished at
which the world once roared in deri-
sion that some day, while you are
laughing at him, some Darius Green
will mount to the clouds and glory in
his crazy old machine, and then you
will beg him for stock
There is an abiding faith in the heart
of man that the tough problem OF
aerial navigation will be solved some
day before long, and now comes J. A.
Crandan of 514 Fulton street, Brook
Ign, who thinks he has done it.
Mr.. Crandall is not a tangle-haired
dreamer, with clockworks where his
brains ought to lie, but is a solid and
widely known Brooklyn business man.
He has the records of more than fifty
patents at washington, chiefly devoted
to the fancy and needs of children, for
whom he has invented hobby horses,

BRAVE GIRLS, YET INCONSISTENT,

Ignore Giddy Heights, Yet in Deadly
Fear of Il Mouse.
There is an old saying that one new
er knows a Woman's true character
till he sees her in a moment Of danger
and seldom then, might we'll be ad-
ded, says the San Francisco Post.
A couple of young ladies were on ton
of the Mills building yesterday. One
walked boldly to the very edge of the
roof and gazed steadily into the street
below without the thrill of a nerve or
the culver of a muscle
Brave girl, that" observed the sig
nal officer. 'Stout-hearted and fear
less She'll make some man a good
wife. Huh! Look at that other one,''
he exclaimed in disgust, as the stout
hearted girls, companion shrank back
and cried historically:
''Oh. hold on. want to jump off,
''What a little fool" said the signal
officer. "a baby to be petted. Wants
to jump off! You couldn't pull her off
there with yoke of oxen"
They were just starting down the
narrow stairway when some one
shouted:
''There's a mouse"
The brave girl who had stood un-
finching at the edge of the high roof
let out wild scream and rolled to the
bottom Of the stairs, while her com
panion laughed till she was almost
hysterical
'Girls are all fools!' declared the
cynical signal officer.

What Blackens the Globes of Incan.
descent Lamps.
An Italian scientist has been trying
to add to the comparatively small
available store Of information as to
how the blackening of incandescent
bulbs is caused. He found that under
the microscope the surface of a used
flament has little humps, resembling
IN miniature those on the carbon of an
arc lamp. They seem to have been
produced by some melted material In
places the flament is furrowed by
transverse cavities, out of which rise
ramifications of lamp black. The film
collected on the inside of the lamp
shows under the microscope as a very
thin coating of lamp black, in which
are distinguished larger grains irreg-
ularly distributed, and also yellowish
crystals. His explanation of the black.
enlng is that certain mineral sub.
stances contained in the carbon fila
ment become fused by the high TEN.

When the explosion of the little humps

those places where detachments occur
most frequently the ilament breaks.

perambulators, building blocks, and
endless games.
"As the man who invented the
steamboat" says Mr.. Crandall, "cop-
led the ducks padding in the water,
1 have taken the gentle birds method
of flight for a model"
The accompanying picture gives a
good idea of what Mr.. Crandalls air.
ship looks like The body is made of
aluminium spiral tubing covered with
bamboo and sealed air ii ht, the tubes
and the spaces between the floor OF the
car and the outer casing being filed
with gas. The wings are of a tough
silk thread paper over a light but
strong wire frame, and are closely
perforated. Each of the countless holes
will be covered by thin leather valve
that is opened as the wing raises and
is closed by the pressure Of air as the
wing descends for the stroke.
The tail is like one of the wings,
without the perforations and valves,
and is geared to move IN any direc-
ton.
The power is obtained from a dyna-
mo within the car and communicated
to the wings by a pair of shafts that
move up and down somewhat like the
walking-beam Of ferryboat. A lat
eral shaft resembling the screw gear
ing of a propeller operates the tail.
Mr.. Crandall made working model
of his device many years ago, but he
employed a steam engine, which was
too heavy. The recent development Of
the electric motor has given Mr. Gran
dali hope that from that source he can
bring to bear sufficient mower without
the handicap # Weight.-Exchange

CompIaints of the Theater.

Editor Morning News: The attention
of the public and press has been so often
called to the management of the theater.
that frequent complaints. must some day
bear fruit.
In appealing to the private feelings of
the management, when public feelings are
ignored to a supposed exclamation of -
the public. When the management of a
public place is so embodied in high art and
culture that leaves the uncultured public
in such hands, we cry with one of Shakes
peare's plays: Hold, enough"
Mr.. Manager, a few questions. You will
excuse me breaking on your reticent ma
ture, but don't you think that for a short
time you might dispose of the 81 am, -
its me- and consider the unfortunate
condition of the theater-going people, who
are fond of the drama and other amuse-
ments that are brought here to be ex-
hibited in an "only theater," one not too
clean, not too well aired. or well lighted
and with the smallest regard for personal
comfort and taste People do sometimes
sacrifice much of both in a desire to en-
joy some change of Savannahs quiet life
Mr.. Manager, Will you please inform me
and many others-who, rather than be
imposed on by eXorbitant prices, turned
away from the theater on last Wednesday
night-why the regular admission price of
81 was changed to- s1.50? Did you let
the public know before the ticket office
was reached? Was the usual heat changed
to any particular degree unusual to the
Savannah theater on the extra charges
Was it for extra fuel? What coal mer-
chant could you refer to as having been
unusually dearer than before? You COM
mitted an outrage on a long suffering pub
lie which is objectionable So
suppose new management
is to be prayed for the new millen-
MUM then will be nigh, that the theater
will be warmed, regardless of the cost Of
fuel, that we will have no more exorbi-
tant prices for admission, and the sensi-
bilities of the respectable will not be Of
Tended, even at a couple of dollars less
in the pocket of the manager. A Victim.
