The Russian Press.

The press of St. Petersburg has just
been REINFORCED by half a dozen new
daily papers, which bring the total of
all the journals and periodicals now ap-
pearing in the Russian capital up to
about $50. The chief of the new publ
cations are the Echoes of the World, the
People, the Morning, and the Ray of
Light, all of which start with elaborate
programmes. Altogether in Russia
there are now about $50 journals and re-
views, as compared with 44O in 1882;
but there is no relaxation of the vexa-
tious control of the censorship, nor is
there any evidence of greater tolerance
Of liberal criticism beyond the narrow
limits permitted under Alexander Ill.

BOUGHT A WHOLE VILLAGE.
Philadelphia Syndicate to Revive
Safe HarbOr Industries.

A real estate sale, including almost
the entire village of Safe Harbor, at
the junction of the Conestoga creek and
Susquehanna river, has just been con-
summated. During the war large roll
ing mills and iron works made the place
one of the most prosperous in the Lam
caster section of Pennsylvania, but at
the close of the rebellion it began to de-
cline, and during late years has been
dead and to a large extent a deserted
place. Hundreds of houses stood idle
and many fell to pieces for want of at
tention.
The present sale was made by Adolph
Segal, of the Safe Harbor Match CONF
pany, to E. Kern and other capitalists
of Philadelphia, and includes 159 acres
OF land, on which are $50 dwellings,
stores, warehouses, shops, etc. A big
water front is also included. The price
paid was 100000. The new purchasers
propose to erect a number of factories
and mills on the site.

SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER.
California Trees Sap Said to Answer
Every Purpose.

Every Purpose.
The discovery of a substitute for rub
Der, which, it is said, can be produced
in large quantities, at less than quar-
ter the cost of genuine rubber, is an
nounced by William Falconer, a Sonoma
county (Cal.) journalist. -
The substance is the product of a tree
which grows abundantly in the central
part of that state and was discovered by
accident. The tree is tapped near the
base, and the sap, which is quite dark
colored, is caught in vessel. After
being exposed for a day or two layer
of tough elastic material closely resem-
bling rubber is formed. If this is taken
off another layer will form.
This substance will vulcanize like rub
Der and, when properly treated, is a
perfect substitute for the genuine arti-
Gle. 1t has been tested by several scien-
tifc men, who say it will take the place
of rubber for almost any purpose.
A company is being formed to put this
new material, which has not yet been
named, on the market. The method of
treatment is secret. The discoverer says
the supply is ineXhaustible.

and, if do say it myself, it wasn't any
SLOUGH of trapeze show. And didn't
like that half as we'll after the rope
broke as did before, either. Indeed,
began to think the whole dern bal
loon business wasn't what it was
cracked up to be. Twas thinking about
tying a rope around my waist so as TO
catch hold of things il fell, but didn't
like to do that, though there was about
a hundred feet of rope had hung out
as an anchor, or grab, with hook on
the end to help me to land when the
show was over.
The day 1 retired from business
there was a state fair going on that
week, and 1 went up every day. 1t was
fine day, with just enough wind to
move the balloon along majestic, as the
papers said, and when 1 shot up was so
nervous that actually said my prayers
as 1 saw the ground dropping away
under me. But took a brace on my
self, and began my trapeze act, the
balloon going up faster than ever felt
it. Rv this time L was uu half O mile.

ELECTRIC ROAD TO HAUL ORE.
Chicago and Eastern Capitalists In
terested in Colorado Enterprise.

An electric railway to operate in Sum-
NIT and Park counties, Cal, is about to
be incorporated for the purpose of fur
nishing transportation facilities to min
ing camps which have been shut out of
the market owing to the high price at
tenCant on existing means of hauling,
the only system that has been hitherto
available being by aerial tramways and
pack animals. These means have
proved so costly that many mines
have had to shut down. The line will
start at Alma and Breckenridge, where
connection may be had with the South
Park railway leading to the Denver
shelters. 1t is estimated that the cleo
stric line can handle 200 tons day at a
cost of not to exceed one dollar a ton,
owing to the power being generated on
the right of way through the medium of
mountain torrents whose waters have

Ex-Aeronaut Tells Of His Last

Something or other suggested the
subject, and the tall man, who sat at
the hotel table where he couldn't see a
Chicago Tribune reporter opposite
owing to the castor which stood be-
tween, stuck his fork into potato and
began talking.

Elijah went to Heaven in hand-basket

for me, I'd rather go by land"

SELF AMPUTATION OF TOE.
First Case of Queer Disease Reported
from Atlanta, Ga.

DR.. Wolff, of Atlanta, Ga, has dis
covered the third case of ainhum ever
known in the United States, the pre-
vious ones being from Louisiana and
from North Carolina. Ainhum is self
amputation of ones little toe. The dis
ease is confined exclusively to negroes
and has its origin in Brazil. In this in
stance the disease afflicted a negro wom-
an, who applied to the Southern medi-
cal college for treatment. The dis
ease has been in progress for so years,
and one of the toes on the right foot
has already amputated itself.
The theory of the disease is that the
negroes, having fat feet, the ball of
the foot is thereby pressed against the
ground, receiving a severe shock with
each motion, which gradually destroys
and cuts off the member.
