the earth. The building proper, as plan
med by the two originators, French ar
chitects from which 1t takes it's name,
will cover a space Of 400 square feet;
will be about eight stories high, and
built of marble. From this stone foun-
dalton there will rise a column or tube
COS feet high, making the total height
200 feet. A company has been formed
with sufficient capital to secure the
scheme.
In the ascent the balloon passes near
to the principal planets to allow the
voyager to discern details. Daylight
disappears for the moment Clouds
will be Travelled through and by me-
chanical and electrical combinations
varied effects will be secured. The
final point In the upward flight will be
the moon, upon which landing will be
made. The downward fight is purpos.
ed to be made more rapidly and with
out pause until the globe is reached.
At this point the balloon Is left and
the car plunges into the water. Here
through series of sea aquarium ar
rangements containing living fish and
plants, the wonders Of the deep will
be shown. Submarine boats will float
In the waters and wrecks will form part
of the picture In this mimic sea, which
will be illuminated with constantly
changing electrical effects. This part
of the work is announced as under
taken In accord with descriptions by
Verne and Flammarion.

ascension, 1t will describe a semi-circle
on its own axis, and enable the specta-

wonders of nature, discoveries Of the
century, inventions and explorations.
Part will show, through panoramic
means, and again with electrical illu-
limitations, the most interesting coun-
tries and cities of the globe. In each
will be figured its inhabitants. BY an

sensations Of travel under certain con-

The outlook for gold mining In
Georgia fs bright. Henry McManus,
who recently leased the Garnet COM
pany's mine on the .Chestatee river,
near Dadlonega, writes that there are
twenty veins of gold ore or quartz In
the property. He Is working two shafts
which yield good ore averaging from
So to $40 ton. In some streaks the
yield is as high as $40 a ton. George L.
Chester, who Is now developing a
property near Caution, Ga, has already
spent $1,000 there and will spend $1,000
more, and believes he is on the same
lead as "the steady bullion producer"
seven miles distant Assays on the
Chester property run from $40 to $1,000
a ton. vE

A NEW ELASTIC TIRE.

1t IL Not for Bicycles,.but for Vehicles
of Every Kind.
1t was the general use of the pneu-
matte tire on bicycles, no doubt that
suggested an elastic tire for vehicles
Of every kind. The accompanying cut
shows tire of this nature, which has
just been patented by man in Kansas.
This device is made Of spring wire,
and, of course, it Is not to be inflated
as the rubber tires are. 1t has neat
ly fitting base section for the felloe.

the pressure of contact with the ground.

in the new structure. The outer walls
serve merely as Enclosures, and not as
supports, except for their own weight, the
entire weight Of the floors being up

The Goodbye Kiss.

The following sentiment from the
Philadelphia American is deserving Of
general application: LET us take time
for the good-by kiss. We shall go to
the days work with sweeter spirit for
it. Let US take time to speak kind
words to those we love. By and by,
when they can no longer hear us, our
foolishness will seem more wise than
our best wisdom. Let us take time to
be pleasant. The small courtesies whit b
we often omit because they are small
will some day look larger to us than the
wealth which we have coveted or the
fame for which we have struggled. Let
us take time to get acquainted with our
families. The wealth you are accumu-
lating may be doubtful blessing to the
son who is a stranger to you. Your
beautifully kept house, busy mother,
can never be home to the daughter
whom you have no time to caress."

of his law, or sin against his love. josh
ua declares to the people that they can
expect no peculiar moral leniency from
their Jehovah, They can continue in
his favor only by whole hearted con-
formity to his will. If they. after their
elson of relative obedience, turn to the
forbidden ways of immortality, then. says
Joshua, he a0iU turn and do you evil
and consume you after that he hath
done gou good. Truly the old soldier
had the ethical instinctiveness of John
the Baptist.
After this demand for more exclus-
sive devotion, the people again respond
ed, Nag but ave aoiU serve the Lord.
3. The Covenant Renewed
VS. 22-25.
1t remained for the venerable Joshua
to crystalize this sudden impulse toward
God, and make it an enduring purpose.
He exalted the moral grandeur Of the
national choice, then again deliberately
made. Ye are witnesses against yoar-
selues that ye haze chosen you the Lord.
to serUe him. He has, if we will observe,
achieved an oratorical triumph worthy
of a skilled rhetorician. He has made
the people speak for themselves. Twice
already have they spontaneously prom
ised to be Gods exclusive people. And
now again, the third time when Joshua
says to them that they have become by
their own choice the witnesses of God
to the world, and the witnesses against
themselves if they shall be recreant,
they respond, We are witnesses.
The sharp point of the moral of this
notable discourse Of the soldier prophet
is in this application: Therefore put
aacay the strange gods avhich are among
you.
A promise, covenant, of obedience,
is made by the representatives of the
people: The Lord our God aoiU aoe serUe.
And in the record following we
read that Joshua built monument in
the valley Of Shechem to commemorate
the solemn choice Of Jehovah which Is
rael had renewedly made.

only one death among the foreign popu-
