Swnrmed with Errata.

The most curious as we'll as one of the
rarest books known to collectors is the
edition of the Vulgate, issued by Pope
Sixtus ", some time. between 1856 and
1890. The book, as Disraeli describes
it, fairly swarmed with errata;" so
numerous were they that number of
printed paper slips containing the
proper words were pasted over the
blunders, and this device proving in
effectual, on account of the immense
number of mistakes, as many of the
copies as could be found were called in
and destroyed. Only few remain, and
the book with its paper patches COM
mands an extremely high price.

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Cnlifornians Think They Have Solved
Aerial Navigation.

Leonard L. Clawson and Adam Beck,
two well-known business men of San
Francisco, believe they have solved the
problem of aerial navigation. They
have just made application for patents
on device which they think will over
come tie obstacles that have heretofore
resisted the efforts of inventors, and are
at work now on the construction of a
flying machine.
The machine consists essentially of
four rods, each 20 feet long, parallel to
each other, working on ball bearings
in a well-braced framework, support
ing the motive power and steering APP
paratus below. On each Of these rods
are a series of double wings, con-
structed of a steel wire framework, over
which silk is stretched. These are so
arranged in relation to each other that
when one wing is rising open the other
is descending closed, and also maintain
ing the balance of the machine. Thus
half the wings are at every instant
pressing downward, while the other half
are rising but not pressing upward
Should the motive power fail for any
reason the entire wing surface instant
ly forms q parachute.
A machine 20 feet long and with a
bearing surface six feet wide, it is be-
lieved, can be made to raise weight

THE KEEL CANAL.
Ambassador UhI Sends New ReguIa-
lions Governing Its Use.

Ambassador Uhl at Berlin has
transmitted to the state depart
ment copy of the new regulations for
the safe transit of vessels through the
Kaiser Wilhelm (KieD canal. They pro-
vide that all vessels, including those car
rying a high deck cargo, shall have no
heavy list; that the cargo shall be prop
erly slowed and secured to prevent
shifting in case of going around; that
the vessel must not be cranky" as in
the case of narrow ships making a
sharp change of direction; that the
capstan and winches shall be clear for
immediate use; that the position of the
wheel shall permit the helmsman to
have free lookout forward, and that
ballast tanks shall be filled. Vessels
with heavier draft forward are sup
posed to steer badly and are vigorously
cared for, the superintendent of the
port having the power to exclude them
at night or ordering n tug to their as
Sistance.

A DANToN TO WE'D A MARAT.
Strange Sequel to n Historic Enmity

Strange Sequel to a Historic Enmity
in France.
Ferdinand Danton, gTeat-grandson of
Jaques Danton, who died on the guillo-
tine during the excuses of the French
revolution, will wed Viviane Marat,
great-grandniece of Jean Paul Marat,
who died by the dagger of Charlotte
Corday. The engagement has been an
tnounced and the wedding, they hope,
will take place in the spring.
Young Danton is poor artist, who
lives with his father, also an artist, in
a not very prosperous quarter of New
York. Mile. Marat lives in Paris and
is rich. They met at the unwilling of
the statue erected recently by the mu-
nicipality of Paris to the memory of
Danton's great-grandfather. The an
cestor of one and the relative of the
other were enemies during the reign
of terror, but the old enmity has found
its strange sequel in the love Of the
young people
There is still an obstacle. Ferdinand
Danton's grandfather declares his for

son, who failed when he went to Paris
to register as Frenchman. The pros
pective bridegroom and his father will
go to France and try to placate the old

FIND DEEDS FOR A TOWN.
Old Papers Discovered That May Give
Title to JeffersonviIIe, Ind.

William Lift, of Arcola, ILL.,, was look
ing through some old family relics in a
"cast-off" trunk, which had been stored
with numerous other articles in the
attic of his mothers house, recently,
when he discovered number of deeds
for tracts of land in Indiana, drawn in
favor of his father, Demarcus LIT, long
since dead. The deeds, three in num-
Der, call for three 4o-acre tracts of land
located in Jennings county and near the
site of the present city of Jefferson
vile, Ind. They are printed on sheep
skin, and notwithstanding the fact
that the documents all bear dates of
August, 1888, are well preserved. The
papers all bear the government seal and
are signed by ex-President Martin Van
Buren,.
Mr.. Lift says neither himself OF moth
er knew of the existence of the papers.
As near as the location Of the land can
be figured, according to the description
in the deeds, it is believed that good
portion Of the realty Is covered by the

THE LoGANS' GOOD FORTUNE.
Will Get Snug sum Out of Estate
of George T.. Lemon.

OF George IL. Lemon.
A New York Times special from
Washington says: 1t will please the
friends of the Logans-the widow and
surviving family of the late John A.
Logan-to learn that Mrs. Mary Logan
Tucker and her son, George Lemon
Tucker, will benefit to much greater
extent from the estate of the late George
F. Lemon than was at first supposed.
Mrs. Tucker and her youngest son in
herit -two-ifths of the estate after GER
tain specific requests are paid. The
sum that would remain for distribution
has been popularity estimated at some
thing like $1,OO0,000, but the estate is
going to pan out beyond all expecta-
tions, if credence is to be placed in
stories enanating from quarters close
to the executors. 1t is said the ex-
ecutors found stacked up in the safe
deposit vaults pile of government
bonds aggregating in value more than
S3,O00,OOO, all of which and more will
go to the residuary legatees.

TRANSPORTED IN A DOG CART.
Widow Walks n Long Journey While
Her babies Ride.

Her Babies Ride.
A tall, angular woman escorting
three children, seated in roughly con-
structed cart and drawn by team of
three large dogs, attracted good deal
of attention as she passed along Wash
ington street, Chicago, early the other
morning. Pedestrians and teamsters
halted to watch the strange procession
and the big policeman at State and
Washington streets almost allowed a
truck to run him down while watching
the sight.
In response to an inquiry the woman
told pitiful story. she is Mrs. Evan
geline Burdick, and is on her way from
her home in Peoria to the home of her
parents in South Bend, Ind. Some
months ago her husband was drowned,
and since that time the widow has sup
ported her three children by doing
odd jobs. Before Christmas she broke
her right arm, and but for the help of
neighbors must have starved. She final
ly determined to make her way to South
Bend afoot, and neighbors contributed
the cart and dogs to carry the children,
besides providing her with a supply of
food and small amount of money.
The journey was begun January 10,
and, with the exception Of five days,
when cold prevented travel, the odd pro-
cession has moved eastward, the woman
begging her way.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81, 1897.
MUST NOT FLlRT.
Bill Introduced In Missouri Legis-
lature to Restrain Trainmen.
The Long EnjoyedPre of Con-
ductors and Brakemen Threat
ened-Must Shun Attrac-
tive Females.

A bill, which has for it's object the
abolishing of one of the prerogatives
of the railroad men of the country, was
introduced in the Missouri legislature
by Representative Hood, who, having
many friends among the railroad men,
was careful to state that he introduced
the measure by request.
The bill, by provisions stronger than
the terms of money loaner's chattel
mortgage, seeks to put stop to the
flirting with female passengers by rail-
way conductors and brakemen, and to
make matters binding a fine of $25 for
each and every separate move which
can be constructed into an attempt at
flirting is to be imposed upon the Of
fender. The company, corporation or
person owning the railroad upon which
the awful crime of flirting is committed
is held responsible for the good be-
havior of the employees and is liable for
the amount of the fine in case the guilty
man does not pay it.
Should the bill become a law any
woman who desires to make life bur-
den for railroad man will only have
to swear he has been flirting with her
and Immediately the poor fellow will
find himself within the grasp of the
law. 1t is said the bill was formulated
by woman who rode all over the state
some time ago and never once received
a wink or a smile from the handsome
fellows in charge of the various trains.
