MOUNTAIN OBSERVATORlES,
Described For the First Time In New
Book on Astronomy.

Book on Astronomy.
The new book which r. 3. Holden,
director of Lick university, has just is
sued, through the Smithsonian institu-
ton, is the first ever written giving an
accurate idea of the mountain observ-
atories of the world.
It describes work done on Ell Neisti
by the Harvard college expedition, at a
height of 10, 900 feet above the level OF
the sea. The meteorological station ON
the Sonnblick, 0,843 feet above the sea,
is described. 1t tells of the dangers TO
which those taking observations on
Mont Blanc are exposed.
What is transporting ON Mount Hamii-
ton ia made known to US. Professor
Holden says that the mountain observa-
tories are descendants of Galilei's tower
of Arcetri. They enable the observers to
mount their telescopes as high as posi-
ble above the dust atmosphere into one
which is known as steady or where the
air is not constantly in motion.
Twinkling of the stars is caused by
currents of our air. Those who inhaDl'
the mountain observatories in winter
undergo great hardship. FL Neisti, one
of the Andes. is 4.800 feet higher than
Pixies peak. Here the wind always
blows at the rate of 80 miles an hour
and temperature ranges from 80 degrees
above TO zero. Chicago Inter Ocean.

shot NJ n Cat and Died.

Simon Banks, one of the best known
residents of Southport, Conn, got up
one morning recently about 8 o'clock,
took his gun and started for the hennery
in the rear of his house to shoot cat
which had been killing young, chickens.
When he came in sight of the cat, he
raised the gun to his shoulder and fired.
Some member of the family who was
watching saw him stagger as the gun
exploded and the next moment fall to
the ground. When help arrived, he was
dead. Heart disease was the cause.

He Kind to Your Cat.

This is the time when thoughtless per-
sons are won't to turn out the house cat
and let the creature forage for itself. With
each departing family some feline pension
er Is very apt to be sent adrift. Not with
all, thank goodness, for there are many
humane people who, though they are not
pet lovers, see to It that the family cat has
a home, or at least timely grave, before
they go out of town. II those who aban-
don puss to such chance feeding as refuse
barrel affords could but see the pitiable
condition of the half starved animal In
July and August, they, too, would be
merciful and call in the aid of the society.

FROM A NINE-STORY BUILDING.
Marvellous Escape of u Third, who
Was Drawn Back to the Roof.

ATLANTA, Ga, June ga derrick on
the roof of a new building fell at l o'clock
this afternoon, knocking three workmen
from a scaffold en- the ninth story. Two
of them were dashed to instant death on
the ground, 125 feet below and the third
was saved in marvellous way. The killed
are: Palmetto Ayres, colored aged forty,
living at Austell; Charles Cargill, colored,
aged thirty-five Of this city w. M. Brown,
a white carpenter, was cut about the head
and arms.
The men were standing on platform
which skirts the edge Of the ninth floor
when the derrick fell. The part of Tho scat

and the men were thrown into space.

shot through the air. AS the boom of the
hosting engine fell the ropes on the tackle
were set in motion, one going up and the
other down. 1t was Browns good fortune
to catch the rope being drawn upward and
he was hauled safely to the roof To an
other boom of the derrick projecting out
on the other side of the building was at
tached car in which four men were stand
ing. This boom likewise fell, but was held
up by the roof The car was dashed over
the side of the building and swung there
in safety The men were rescued through
a window, none of them being injured. The
two negroes struck the ground in the base
ment. The scaffold was on the court side
and a clear fall to the very bottom was
opened to them. The bodies were crushed
and mangled horribly Mr.. Cannon, SUI
perintendent of derricks, was seen and
said: THE killing of these two men was no
accident. 1t was in my opinion, a plot on
the part of some one at work on this build-

TROLLEY AIR SHIP.
st. Louis Inventor Soon to Patent n
Remarkable Continuance.

ST. LOUIS, June 2S.--Inventor William
Stewart has plan for the establishment of
a trolley air ship freight and passenger
route from st. Louis to Chicago or any
other place. His drawings and models are
nearly completed, and in the near future
he will apply for a patent. A cigar-shaped
balloon is inflated with gas sufficient to
barely lift it and the passenger and freight
car from the ground. Two wires, one in
front and one toward the rear serve to
hold the air ship within a short distance
of the earth and at the same time supply
the power to the propeller at the rear of
the Ship The lower ends of the guide wires
are attached to a set of wheels, which re-
yolve freely between the power-bearing
wires, as in slot. If the boat lowers a
bit there is no danger of the trolley Slip
ping off 1t is contemplated that the in
fiation will be enough to cause a slight fric-
ton of the upper wheel against the top
power bearing wire. 1t is the upper wheel
which prevents the air ship from ascending
further than a certain length.
Mr. Stewart estimates that the trolley air
ship line can be operated at one-half to
one-third less than the cost of q steam
or electric railway. At a pinch he eSti-
mates that the trip from st. Louis to Chi
cago can be made in two hours and thirty
minutes The inventor of the trolley air
ship has just completed flying machine
which is on exhibition in North St. Louis.
In the near future he will attempt a trial
flight to the clouds in the odd-lookng craft.

great many more than their quota outside

the latter finally arranged a conference at
which the senator's and representatives and
Jones were present. The President said he
wanted to do something for Jones. The
delegation said they had no objection, but
1t must not be charged to the state; 1t must
be considered a personal and not political
appointment, and then they submitted their
slate with very urgent appeal to the
President not to permit the appointment
of Jones to interfere with it,

out half dozen places and found they

Summer Normal school Opens.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 28.-The
summer term of the State Normal School
began this morning with a large attend
ance The summer school was begun by
four or five of the professors three years
ago and was so successful that now nearly
all the members of the faculty are inter-
ested in the enterprise and the state board
of trustees has recognized it to the extent
of giving credit for work done in the sum-
mer school in the regular course of the
normal. For instance, two of those who
entered to-day were seniors who failed in
two studies at the recent term, but they
can graduate at the end of the summer
school by passing examinations in these
studies Of the total number who attend the
summer school perhaps two-thirds are in
the regular course at the State Normal.
The only changes in the faculty of the sum-
mer school since the announcement was
made for this year is the absence of Pro-
lessor Gfllum, of the department of chem
istry and physics, who will attend the Chi
cago University, and Professor Kemp, of
the department of history, who will attend
