Osman Pasha, an Equine Aeronaut, Maks
ing Daily Ascensions In Berlin.
The latest novelty launched on the
circus-going public of Berlin is desig,
mated on the programme of the famous
Corty-Athol circus as "0sman Pasha,
the great and only equine aeronaut of
the nineteenth century" Osman Pasha
is described by the New York Press as
a proud black stallion with fine head
and symmetrical proportions.
The trainers found little difficulty at
first in inducing the stallion, who was
very docile, to step in the car of the
balloon, and in order to prevent acci-
dents two stout straps connected his.
bit with heavy iron rings fastened to
the sides of the car. After his first
aerial trip, however, he strepuously
objected to leave terra tirma, and it
required several months of patient and
careful coaxing before Osman could
perform his feat gracefully. And even
now, after many trials, he exhibits a
certain lack of confidence. When Os-

DOES FREEZING KILL FlShESf
Result of a Practical Test of This Inter-
esting Question.

Result or Practlcal TEST oi Inls Inter
esting Question.
A number of live perch were secured
and placed in water at the ice manu-
factory, says the New Haven Register,
and the water was put in the process
of crystallization. 1t requires about
sixty hours to freeze cake of ice, and
during this time the fish were watched
to ascertain the effect of the intense
cold which surrounded them. They
kept alive and continued to swim in
the water until their confines were so
narrowed that they had no space in
which to move. The ice in its freezing
process begins at the outside and
freezes toward the center, so the space
in which the fish had their liberty was
gradually narrowed down until the
fish were encased aqd the water around
them froze, pinioning them tightly in
its folds.
Each fish when the cake was COM
pleted was as natural as life, its fins
and tail being spread as they were
while in the act OF swimming. The
cake OF ice containing the fish was
placed on exhibition, and numerous
bets invc ing several hundred dollars
were made as to. the outcome of the
experiment. The cake was left intact
for a day or SO and Ghen cut open and
the FISH taken out and placed in water,
They were LETT for some time, and OF
the five fishes which were originally
put in the cake none Of them exhibited
return to life so far as can be def
nitely determined except one, and
whether this one was indeed alive is
open to conjecture. After being placed
in water this one fish, it is asserted,
moved from the position in which it
was placed and assumed an entirely
different position which it is believed
the fish made itself. However, as nc
one saw the movement it is taken that
the death of the remaining fish sproof
positive that this one fish was also
dead and that the change of position
was the result of something else than
life in the fish

BlLLYcoA1s HARD TO KILL.
Their Tantniizlng Ways, as a Railroad
Engineer Describes Them.

Engineer DeACrlDeA
"Did you ever hear Of locomotive hit
ting and killing a billygoatP" was the
question which John Van Mugs, a Penn
sylvania railroad engineer, put to re-
porter. "Weli, when you do let me know,
please for l want to make n note of it. l
have been riding an engine over this road
for 10 years, and though l have often seen
goats on tho track and have often thought
that had surely hit one yet have always
found that Mr.. Goat was like the famous
hea of the Dutchman-not there.
1--WE most often see them on the tracks
at East Newark or at East Railway, where
they stray over from Goat hill. Now no
engineers want to hit or kill anything, but
many of them have wished they could
catch billy, for he is so tantalizing. He'll
stand on the tracks, generally at right
angles with the rails chewing his cud, and
will pay no more attention to the whistle
than to the ballast on the roadbed
Sometimes he will turn his eyes toward
the iron horse speeding toward him, but 1t
seems to have no terrors for him, and he
holds his ground until you cannot see him
from the cab on account of your prox-
unity, when, presto he is gone, and If you
look out of the cab at the roadside you IL
see Mr. Billy standing there waiting for
you to pass.
1.-THE other day, at East Newark, saw
D big black one standing on No. ahead
Of us AS we were EN- route for Jersey City.
To give him warning l footed the whistle.
I He never stirred. He was chewing away
and gazing down toward Newark bay. He
had an elegant goatee, which the east wind
was toying with. We were running at q
lively rate and were soon within hundred
feet of him. Now, said ] to myself, I'm
going to get billy sure. In an instant we
had passed the spot l saw no goat shoot
up in the air, nor did l feel any jar MOI
any resistance communicated to the sen
sitive throttle as we usually do. Then
looked out of the cab window. Sure
enough, as usual, there was billy at the
roadside, looking up at us and wagginl
his tail. When you hear of a goat being
killed on this road by locomotive, just
let me know about it. New York Sun.

Horseman, from the old, heavy, lum-
boring spring sulky of the olden day to
the light, pneumatic-tired vehicle of the
present, and there is really no more reas-
on why we should ask the present day
record breaker to haul one hundred and
fifty pounds than that we should ask
him to pull the same sort of sulky that
Lady Suffolk drew when she first trotted
in time faster than ? 80. 1t is by the
exhibition OF the greatest speed that we
best advertise our national horse and we
should leave no stone unturned to keep
him prominently before the worlds eye"

Waited by the creation of permanent road

presidential election is over, to see a gen.
