AN ARSENAL IN THE CLOUDS.
A War Airship Which Is Being Con-
structed for Cuban Service.

Cuba is going to fight the Spaniards
from the clouds. In secluded grove
in Florida French engineer now has
under construction an airship which is
to be placed in the Cuban service. 1t
will carry 125 men, 1000 rifles, half
million rounds Of rifle ammunition and
dynamite shells. The airship is one
Of the most remarkable things of its
kind ever conceived by an aeronaut. Its
chief feature. which eXcites the great
est wonder, is its extreme lightness con-
sidering its tremendous strength. The
airship consists of bOat-shaped car
that does not swing. but is held solidly,
though pendant, from cluster of five
balloons.
These balloons are held steadily in
place by five aluminium belts. which
go around the girths of the balloons
and are connected at the points of con-
tact by easy working ball-bearing
joints. so that there can be no strain,
and each belt can give gently one way
or the other, as the balloon it holds

Shot.
Tho old soldier, with hot toddy be-

din G 10 ask soldier questions about his
experiences ,

,ion places in the world I'd rather be
.ban where l then was, was the frank
response.
"Were you afraid?
"Of course | was knew those fel-
,ovs shooting at us weren't doing it for
their health or for ours, either, and 1
knew enough about guns to know that
tbey were dangerous. "
"But you overcame your fear as the
fight progressed?
"Anyhow, didn't mind it so much.
After awhile | got mad, and then l for
got about myself and wanted to lick the
entire army against us. "
"Did you ever get shot?"
"Once only, and it was queer about
that You read stories in the papers
about how it feels to be shot, and l sup
nose they are correct, for every man has
different way OF taking mis- cold lead
I've seen men shot square in the fore
head, stand for an instant as if turned
into stone and then drop without ever
bending joint. Some I've seen run
screaming away and fall dead with the
scream on their lips. I've seen some
grab and clutch at themselves and spin
around as if they had been hit with a
club and didn't know what the matter
was; some drop quietly and say nothing
about it; some jump high in the air
and fall stiff as pokers, and so on
through list of them, no two alike.
"In my own case, I was fighting in
the woods in skirmish in Virginia on
terrific hot day. Itwas lively in there,
| can tell you, and l wasn't thinking
about myself at all. We had started on
q run through an open space after the
JOhnnies, and just as we slowed down.
when we saw they had got too close to
the main body for us to go after them
began to feel sick and weak and told
the man next to me that 1 thought I
must be sunstruck. He began to say
something, and everything grew dark.
The next l knew I was in hospital
with hole through my chest. When I
got it or how, l never knew, but it
couldn't have been more than ten min
utes before l collapsed, because man

might sway, without getting away
from its mate. In this way the bal
looms are always manageable.
Besides the system Of network when
surrounds the balloons and whish holds
them attached to the car there are
aluminium braces securing the belts
or pirths TO the car below. These
braces are also the stays for the sails
forward and at the sides for steering
nurnoses. The principle upon which
tbis wonderful airship is steered is the
same which governs the sailing of
Yacht. A series of uprights over the
car and Just under the lower valves OF
tbe balloons sustains shaft whlch Is
reyolved by electricity, and turns an
iromense fan. or screw at the rear of
+bo shin. which acts as an air rudder
as we'll as propeller. Every piece OF
,,,otol in the entire construction of this
grevhound of the air is of aluminium.
There are nine windows on each side,
somathing more than ten feet apart. a
sories of long. narrow openings. closed
with aluminium bars, run around the
inner guard which incloses the upper
deck of the boat.
This marvellous air coach is provid-
od with comfortable accommodations
for 125 men. There is an electrical en-
cine room. an electrical Kitchen and
bedrooms. smoking-room and an obser-
vatory. The vessel is lighted. heated
and worked by electricity. Water Is
taken from the clouds, and not spark
of fire is used in working this mon
strous air ship. The balloon valves
are operated by a system of electric
buttons. and there is no confusion of
ropes or lines. The observatory is pro-
yided with powerful glasses, and while

- The development Of the railroad, the
bicycle and other substitutes for the horse
has brought about peculiar condition OF
affairs. In North DAKOTA, Montana,
Wyoming and other Western States there
are 125,000 horses roaming the praries,
eating grass. which might be more profit
ably used for feeding cattle and sheep.
The owners are helpless and are talking
of killing off their valueless horses.
Recently an unique military parade
took place at Aldershot, England, in re-
spouse to tho invitation of the Duke of
Connaught for all those in his command
who had bicycles to assem- bic. The Duke
himself, two generals and several other
officials were present, mounted on blcy-
cles, and some 600 Of the command at.
tended with their wheels. The spectators
included the Duchesses of Connaught and
Albany and their daughters, all riding
wheels.

Washington Setting a Post.

In the village of Southport, Conn,
is preserved piece of cedar post which
Washington helped to set in the ground
at Harrington. The story associated
with the post is told by the Rev. A..
N. Lewis in published address.
He was out walking with his host
when he came to a man who was
planting hitching post in the ground
by the roadside. The general stopped
and said:
'My friend I can show you how to
set your post SO that it will never
rot
Taking it in his hands, those great
hands of his, he placed itupside down
and held it while the man filled up the
hole and trampcd the earth around it..
1t is well-known fact that post
set bottom side up in the ground will
not absorb water. The sap tubes will
not "draw' when the post is reversed.

The opal, robbed to-day of its
ancient splendor, is called an unlucky
stone. 1t was so valued at one time
that Senator Nominus preferred to
renounce his seat rather than give his
opal to Mark Antony. 1t was valued
at 10000 sesterces, nearly half mil
lion Of our money. The opal was said
to raise the spirits, preserve cordial
relations and by discoloration show
whether he WAS in the presence Of
friend'or foe.

rose the limpid voice Of tho little street

He threw up the window, and, sure
enough, there they stood, the girl and
the little boy.
Henri Pierre looked at the girl and
then walked up to the large mirror that
reached from the ceiling to the ground
between two Of the windows He looked
at himself closely and carefully for q
long time, then he lifted his fist and
crashed it down on the mirror 80 that

Then he called his servant to banlage

And she rustled out Of tho room.
Henri Pierre's little Italian bride was
sitting on the sofa when the Countess
DARCY was announced. She arose when
the visitor entered and held out her

"Do you know" said tho countess,

The girl flushed warmly. II know it,

her hands and speaking with an ador-
able Sicilian accent. "L have taken the
prize! I have got tho prince, the king
that marries the girl In the story book.
He is like San Giorgio, the slayer Of
dragons, or the Arcangelo Michele! He
is the greatest, the noblest, the best, the

The countess smiled with indulgent
pity.
''Yes, yes! He may be the greatest,
the best, the cleverest, but what, my
dear, is absolutely certain is that you
have carried off the handsomest man in
the countryl Such beauty as his is not

OF FRIENDSHIP.

a winters eve. dark, cold and comfortleBsl
Ny feelings catch the spirit Of the night;
Nor can O cheerful fro's warmth and light
Dispel foreboding thoughts and restlessness.

Unwelcome phantoms, shadowlike, appear,
supplsnt hopes prophecy with idle fear,
Create and mock our melancholy plight.

My heart Is full Of happiness and cheerl
Such swift transitions they alone can know
Who drink soul deep Of friendship and Its love.
