KITES TO DROP DYNAMITE.
An inventor Has Novel Plan to
Destroy the Defenses at
Havana.

William Il. Eddy, whose kites have
been experimental with at Madison
barracks, Saeketts Harbor, n. Y, by
Lieut.. Wise, of the Ninth infantry. has
invented sliding messenger kite which
carries dynamite up the string.
Mr.. Eddy says he believes Lieut.. Wise,
now at Tampa, Fla, has a supply of his
kites and camera apparatus ready for
the exploration of the enemy's encamp-
ment as soon as the army invades Cuba.
Inventor Eddy states that the mes
senger kite is still in an experimental
state, Five ascensions have been made
by it at Bayonne. The kite carried a
lighted lantern up the string and
dropped it as an experiment, instead of
dynamite.
If the government cooperates with
Mr.. Eddy in the use of this invention
large portable dynamite kites will be
at once constructed for use in Cuba.
He proposes to automatically drop 70
pounds of dynamite at the distance Of
a mile. Eddy says after the United
States forces land in Cuba and lay siege
to Havana it would be an easy matter
to send up the kites and reduce Moro
Castle.

SKULL LIKE PIECE OF STEEL.
Peter Gray Fires Three Bullets in
His Head, hut All Are
EIattened Out.

When the rain was pouring down in
New York the other night well-dressed
man walked out TO the end of the Nor
walk line pier, sat down To the string
piece, drew a revolver from his pocket
and began to shoot at his head. 4
crowd came running to the spot After
firing three bullets into his head the
man jumped into the East river. He
was rescued unconscious and carried to
a hospital.
After having the man under treat
ment for two hours the hospital doctors
succeeded in bringing him back to con-
seriousness. He said that he did not re-
member shooting himself. DR.. Rodman
said:
I'VE have dug three leaden bullets out
of your scalp, and each one of them has
been fattened out. Each of the bullets
which you fired at your head was of
81 caliber, and each of them has been
hattened out as if they had been shot
up against a piece of steel"

ALLIGATOR SHARES HIS NAP.
Startling Experience of Soldier
During n Siesta Near
Tampa, Fla.

soldier belonging to the Twelfth
infantry had an unusual and startling
experience near Tampa, Fla, the other
morning.
The regiment is encamped near some
swamps about half mile from the
Tampa Bay hotel The soldier was taxi
ing an afternoon nap in the shade and
had been asleep Cor half an hour when
he was suddenly awakened by heavy
weight resting upon him. He arose
sleepily, and was Mortified to see an
immense alligator quietly lying across
his legs. The sauIian made no attempt
to attack the terrified soldier, but was
seemingly contented to remain quietly
in his position.
With yells the soldier dragged him
self from beneath the alligator. ran
toward number of comrades and ex-
citedly told them of his experience.
lhey at first accused him of suffering
from an overdose of Tampa whisky, but
at that moment they saw the alligator
gong in the direction of the swamp and
started after him.
One hundred men were soon in pur-
suit The alligator succeeded in reach
ing swamp that had almost dried up,
and tried TO bury himself in the mud,
out rope was obtained and he was
dragged out. lie is now fastened by a
ehaln to stake. There is some discus
SION as to the adyisability of retaining
MN as regimental mascot, as mascots
are now so much in vogue in the army.

OBTAINS UNEXPECTED RESULT
Experiment by Young Edison Ex-
plodes n Bomb in His Desk at
Electrical Exhibition.

A singular accident at the electrical
exhibition at Madison Square garden
the other day resulted in the partial
establishment of the desk of Thomas
a. Edison, Jr., and severe shock to the
nerves of its owner. One of the most in
teresting features of the exhibition has
been a demonstration of the Clarke
wireless biography system, Illustrating
by means of a small tank of water and
miniature gunboats how mines having
no cable connection with a firing sta
ton on the shore may be exploded in
harbor.
Mr.. Edison was experimenting be-
fore the exposition was open to the pub
lie to find method of exploding the
mines one at time. Some Is feet away
from the task was Mr.. Edison's desk. in
a drawer of which one of the small
bombs used as mines in the tank was
stored. Through the divergence of the
waves, as is supposed, the bomb in the
desk was exploded, reducing the desk
to kndling wood and damaging porta-
BILE electric light set on it. Splinters
flew about Mr. Edison, but he was un-
injured except for the shock of the ex-
plosion. In the desk a number of valu-
able papers belonging to Mr.. Edison
were blown to bits.
