Fifteen hundred feet of rope were re-
quired to reach from one side to the
other, and when it was all in readiness
travelling block was attached to
the pulley, which had previously been
spliced to the main rope, and pulled up
to the edge of the overhanging ledge.
A mans weight of rock was then placed
in the chair rugged on the travelling
block, and an experimental trip was
made, which proved successful.
Professor Libbey then took his place
in the chair and was raised to the top
of the mesa. Gordon Pearce, a news
paper man of this city, was the only
other man in the party to make the
dangerous ascent.
All that was found on the top of the
mesa which indicated that it might
have been inhabited was monument
of rocks, which looked as if it were
erected by man. With this exception
there were absolutely no indications
that 1t had ever been inhabited by
race of men.

the slightest mishap, and shortly after

PEDALING THE AIR.

The Pail Mall Gazette tells of a par
achutist, known as Professor" An
thony, who has accomplished a sensa-
tional descent at Luton by dropping
from a height of 5000 feet while ped
aling'' bicycle. This is said to be the
first introduction of the bicycle into
this hazardous kind of exhibition. Sig
nor Balleni of the Crystal Palace, took
the balloon up with the professor
dangling below the car, and when an
elevation of 5000 feet had been reached
he gave the signal to drop. The para
chute opened by an apparatus worked
by ''pedaling" the bicycle, and the
professor" afterward stated that he
dropped SO feet before it opened prop
erly. During that time he had to ped
al" hard. The descent was very slow

er too large, and the parachutist was

not attract a desirable class of people
or the architecture, decoration-or lack
of decoration-or general effect was
such as to give the house an institution
like appearance, with no semblance of
refinement, comfort or home.
Mr.. Mills gave the subject long and
careful study before he began building
the hotel, and spared neither time nor
Expense in making the structure as
complete and as nearly perfect as pos
sible. The Lord Rowden houses in
London were used as models to a GER
tain extent, but even these have been
improved upon.
A clean, comfortable room, furnished
with a we'll appointed bed, the floor
carpeted and the windows curtained
and shaded, for 20 cents night is only
one of the features of the great build
ing, which is arranged to accommodate
in it's 10 stories 1,500 guests. Well
Equipped lavatories, shower baths and
luxurious reading and smoking rooms
are at the disposal of the guests of the
house without extra charge, and good
restaurant furnishes meals at rates in
keeping with lodging charges. AL
though everything meals and
other commandments furnished
at exceedingly low prices, none of those
who patronize the place need fell that
they enjoy a charity, for Mr.. Mills
wishes is distinctly understood that in
building the house he simply desires to
give to those who will patronize it the
greatest value for their money, and he
believes that even at the low prices
which will be charged the house will
not only be self-supporting, but will
ultimately yield revenue.
No tramps or "bums" are to be al
lowed in the house. The intention is
to allow only men who are clean in
their appearance to secure rooms.
The house is built in two parts, each
in the form of a hollow square, with
two courtyards reaching to the top and
ending in a skylight. These courts are
so feet square, heated by monster radi-
atOrs, and furnished with tables, chairs
and settees and ornamented with palms
and growing plants. The windows of
the sleeping rooms look out upon the
courts, which are the show feature of
the hotel. The light reaches them
through the monster glass roof, 100
feet over the court floor, and the hun
dreds of electric lights which are dis
tributed around the lower part and
along the white walls to the top make
the courts cheerful and bright at night,
and a comfortable and attractive loung-
ing place. The tower which divides the
two courts contain the staircases. which
are built of iron and laid in cement,
and the elevators. From the vestibule
two marble stairways lead to the base
ment, which must be inspected fully to
comprehend the magnitude and the
perfection of Mr.. Mills's scheme.
There is restaurant, with rows of
tables and chairs and buffet counter

On November / the scheme of Mr.. D.
o. Mills, of providing lodgings for re-
spectacle men in moderate circumstan-
ces, was inaugurated by the opening of
Mills House No. in New York. 1t is
numbered 1, because Mills House No.
2, is already in process of construction
and it is the intention of Mr.. Mills to
open other houses, provided there is
sufficient call to warrant the building
of others.
The New York Tribune says the the
opening of the house marks a new era
in the housing of men of moderate cir
cumstances. Many attempts have been
me- e in that direction, but in nearly
every instance the buildings have
either been so arranged that they did

in the centre The room accommodates
500 persons. This restaurant is light
and lofty Behind the buffet counter
there are polished urns for coffee and
tea. hot closets and plate warmers,
covers for large dishes and the usual
grillroom fixtures, and all under the su-
perivision Of competent man.
There are only girl walters, who wear
a plain black uniform relieved by white
aprons and collars. The restaurant is
conducted on the card or European plan
and the price so arranged that whole
some breakfast or luncheon may be had
for 10 cents, although those who wish
to indulge in luxuries will find them
selves provided for. In speaking of the
restaurant Mr.. Thomas, the superin
| tendent said:
Everything will be scruplously clean
and wholesome, and as we'll prepared
as at any first-class restaurant. Our
guests have a large bill to select from,
and will be served as we'll if their
checks amount to 10 cents as though
they had eaten a dollars worth
The kitchen is furnished with mo-

guests at a nominal cost. The drying
and foluing apparatus is of the most
modern design, and the machinery is
of such nature that the great amount
of laundry may be done by compare
lively few people.
To the right and left of the main en-
trance are great wash rooms, each pro-
vided with hundreds of stationary wash
basins, with hot and cold running wa
ter. The floor is concrete, and the oc-
cupants of the wash room may splash
and splutter to their hearts content
without fear Of injury to anything
about the place, and a mirror above
each washbowl aids the guests in MAX
ing their toilets.
Among the other conspicuous attrac-
tive features of the place is the beau
tifully decorated series of parlors. The
central division is the library, equipped
with large collection of we'll selected
books, racks of newspapers and tables
full of magazines. At one end of this
room is the reading room, and at the
other is the smoking room. No liquors
are sold in the house. The rooms to
which the guests goes when he wishes
to retire are not large, but they are
clean, perfectly ventilated and COM
Portable. Each room has at least one
window, and many have two. The one
looking upon the court has no glass,
and the window space is taken up with
wire screen, in front Of which pretty
lace curtain is attached. TIE bed is
made of enamelled iron, furnished with
woven wire Mattress a hair pillow
and one of feathers, two good blankets
and sheets and pillow slips made of
first quality muslin, and dressed with
