Conld No. Ma,sn Tibet.

Mr.. Wilson relates an amusing story
Of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Tibet by stratagem. This Off
Ger managed to cross the frontier at
night, and so escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however, while he was jour
neying deeper into Tibet the Tibetan
soldiers overlook him and informed him
that as the country was unsafe, because
of robbers, they would go with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange
ment the traveller was compelled to
agree. In a few hours they came to e
river, which was crossed by a rope
bridge. The Tibetans passed over first,
in order to show that the bridge was
safe, and then the officer got into the
basket and was pulled along by the lib
etans Suddenly, however, they ceased
pulling and left the Englishman hang
ing in midair above the rushing torrent.
In vain the traveller shouted to the
Tibetans to pull They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. TIE hours pass
cd, and still the officer hung above the
torrent. At last the Tibetans agreed to
pull him back if he would promise to
leave Tibet Immediately. This Of
course he was compelled to do and took
his. departure from the forbidden land.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those of the sea and pro-
dueed twice daily by lunar attraction.
have been traced by M. Bouquet de Ia
Grye In the barometric records Of sta
lions removed from powerful local dis
enrbances. The recorded observations Of
Brest, St. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence OF
q regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect Is slight,
but measurable, the greatest atmos-
pheric tide at Brest being shown by a
movement Of one-quarter Of an inch In

TO about one-fiftieth CT an inch in tho

bear about the same ratio to the weight
Of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
Co the depth Of the ocean.

AT 2 o'clock came the balloon ascension
and the aeronaut was fired from a cam

feature was the finest ever seen here and
was new to all of those present. After
the balloon features came the features
at Wheelmens park, novelty races, day
fireworks, wheelbarrow races and a high
dive from a scaffold by Prof Oscar Norm.
The features tonight were fireworks

COLUMBUS MURDER CASES.
Henry White Granted Two Days to
Secure Mitnesses.

Columbus, Ga, Nov. 16.-The case against
Henry White for the murder of Policeman
Adams and Jackson was called in the SUI
perior court this morning.
Col. Cary Thornton appeared for the de-
PENDANT, while Hon. j. II. Worrill will aid
Solicitor Gilbert in the prosecution.
Col. Thornton moved for a continuance
until he could procure the presence of two
important witnesses. After a long argu-
ment, the court consented to allow the
defendant two days to secure the absent
witnesses.
Intense interest is felt in the trial. al
though no one believes that it can result
in other than verdict of guilty.
Officer Pickett. the fourth victim of old
man White and his son, did not die as
was expected. He has improved so rap
idly in the last few days that he was en-
abled to take a buggy ride to-day.
The grand jury to-day returned true
bill against Shelly Miller who killed
George Venable In Sykes bar a few nights
ago. Millers friends are confident of his
acquittal on the ground Of self-defense,
and public sentiment seems strong in his
favor on account of the desperate char
acter of Venable.
