That Bogie i'm the Air.

The following appears in an exchange
and attempts to throw ridicule on the
airship that several Sacramentans
claim to have seen:
Now that the season is over for the
sea serpent, there comes the announce
ment Of mysterious airship that has
been floating over Sacramento. 1t is
too early in the season for the appear
ance of this bogie. When the Legis-
lature meets there may be great
many people UP there who will see
double, and others may have wonder
full obliquity Of vision. The sea serpent
never appeared off the Atlantic coast
when there was any dearth of whisky.
The airship or jack o lantern cannot
be verified properly without a liberal
use of stirnulants. The conditions may
be more favorable for such view in
Sacramento than any where else. 1t
is not a matter of surprise that this
spirit in the air should have been an
nounced. The wonder Is that it should
have been seen so early In the season.

Napoleon,s Growth.

Napoleon ordered Marmont, In case
43lucher should resume the offensive, to
abandon Paris and hasten to Chalons.
This was not q sudden decision; the
contingency had been mentioned In a
letter Of Feb. 3 to Joseph, and again
from Rheims emphatic injunctiOns to
keep the Empress and the King o.
Rome from falling into Austrian hands
were issued to the same correspondent.
do not abandon my son" the Emperor
pleaded; land remember that / would
rather see him Ii the Seine than In the
hands Of the enemies of France. The
fate Of Astanyax, prisoner to the
Greeks, has always seemed to me the
unhappiest In history" In this ulti.
mate decision Napoleon showed how
cosmopolitan he had grown; he had for
gotten, II he ever understood, the ex
IRENE GENERALIZATION of France; he
should have known that, Paris lost, the
head Of the country was gone. and that
the dwarfed limbs could develop little
or no national vitality.-Century.

A Delicious spanish Drink.

And at this hour the town belched

to be our guide. But 1t was unaided

little square, and now to an old Moor
ish courtyard, it's graceful arches dis
graced and dishonored; nov to an sngle
In the street overlooked by a high bal

jewels Of Christ and the Virgin gloam-

delicious cooling drink hat was yer
yet made. It is worth while t o be
thirsty In Spain; for Its helada, or
crushed Ice favored with lemon or or
ange or banana, is the daintiest device
with which this thirst could be Quencil-

IL Is to be found in such perfection as
at Cordova. But you must be fairly

A O~EAD.ANO.AllvE CITY,

Cordova Has Little of tie Old.Tims
Wealth and Power.
From the station we drove through a
staring white suburb, past the well
whitewashed walls Of the bull-ring, to
the Fonda de Oriente. 1t was still early
In the afternoon, the sun fierce, the
light blinding-the hour when all sum,

Ing In the Alhambra's halls and the
Generalife's gradens. Remembering
their loneliness, and hoping for new
beauty like 1t, we could not stay in the
dull hotel bedroom, though with its
tiled floor 1t was fairly cool and clean,
and we went out into the town. Silence
hung over 1t like a pail. Every wind,
ing street In the labyrinth beyond the
Paseo was empty; not a living creature
In sight, only nce in a while a beggar,
who rushed from some spot or shade
to assail us; all the low, white houses,
with their ~iron-barred windows, were
tight shut; the place was abandoned
and desolate, its silence unbroken by
sound Of toll or traffic.
Was this really the Cordova Of Musn
and Abderrahman, the Cordova once
called the Bagdad or Damascus Of the
West, whose streets were ever alive
with the clang of arms, the pomp Of
professions, the clatter Of students
going to and from the schools, whose
name was a synonym for wealth and
power, for culture and industry-the

The Youngest Metal.

Aluminium, the youngest Of all metals,
Is rapidly coming into general use. 1t
was discovered by Frederick Wohler,
a German professor, in 1927, but to st.
Clair Deville, a Frenchman, belongs
the honor Of being the founder Of the
aluminium industry.
The first article made Of this metal
was in compliment to Louis Napoleon,
who had helped Deville-a baby rattle
for the infant Prince Imperial.
In 1855, when the first aluminium
company was formed, the cost Of a
pound Of the metal was about 5000. In
1880 Charles NJ. Hall, Of Oberlin, O..
patented an electrolytic process. He,
with a few Of his friends, then started
a small plant on the bank Of the Alle-
gheny river, eighteen miles above Pitts
burg. The first year the company pro-
dnced IS pounds OF aluminium a day,
which was sold for $3.50 a pound. In
1895 a company built q large plant at
Niagara Falls, and this year 1t ia build
Ing additional works. When these are
completed they will have an output OF
II 1000 pounds daily. This will put the
United States In front az the largest
