TO HARNESS OCEAN WAVES.

Plan to Transmit Electricity Every
where and Cool Cities In Summer.
Edward j. Ryan of Calais, Me-,
whose wave motor has just been patent
ed, is organizing o stock company with
o capital of $500, 600. He says he shall
soon commence the erection of the wave
motor at places all over the country.
In Kansas City and Denver he pur-
poses erecting great storage houses. Then
q large cable for transmission of the
electricity will str etch from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast. The current wires
from all the motors ON the Atlantic
coast south of New York, ON the great
lakes and the Pacific coast will connect
the main cable SO that the inland cities
and towns can be supplied with cleo
tricity from the ocean waves as we'll as
those on the coast lines.
Mr.. Ryan says he has perfected the
plans of a method by which the streets
of New York and all other large cities
in the hot season can be made as cool
and healthy as it is at the sea beaches
in midsummer.-Special New York

At the Yale astronomical observatory
the most extensive observations in

meteors have been taken than were ever
secured at any American university,

atory, said recently:
1--WE anticipated this year that the
number of meteors visible this fall
would be almost four times the number
seen a year ago. The observations con-
oluded show that onr estimate will be
very nearly exact. Looking up the rec
ords of the meteorio fall Of 1855 I find
that this years will probably just about
equal that of that year. That, again, is

pected in 1899 will occur, the calcula-

at its height, and that the previous
year, as in 1882, 1865 and 1898, the
fall approached the maximum.

GOLD SEEKERS ODD STORY.
Declares Location of His Mine Was
Revealed at q Seance.

Revealed at q Seance.
Gold is reported to have been discov
cred 20 miles from Pittsburg, near Mid
way, in Washington county. The dis
oovery was made ON the farm Of John
Springer, Jr., which is FIVE miles from
Midway, ON the Pittsburg and Steuben-
Vile pike. 1t is said that the deposit
was found one year ago, but was kept
secret The first assay showed so cents
to the ton, but a more recent test IS said
to have shown So ton.
A strange story is told as to how the
gold was found. The deposit is said to
have been known to the Indians, and it
is claimed that a Pittsburg woman
raised" the spirit of Broad Ak, an In
dian chief, who told her all about the
mine. The woman is Mrs. Albert h.
Wefing of Pittsburs, who developed
powers as a medium soon after taking
up spiritualism. At the seance in ques-
ton John Springer, Jr., part owner OF
the farm, was present. When Mrs.
Wefing emerged from her trance and
told about the revelations Of Broad AK,
il is said that Mr.. Springer Immediately
recognized the land described as his
farm. In an interview Mrs. Weflng said;
az am not a spiritualist, but the story
about the location of that mine being
revealed to me by the spirit OF Chief
Broad AK is the absolute truth. All
know is that saw and conversed with
the spirit of that Indian. He told me OF
the gold mine on the farm and described
everything SO accurately to me that
drew a map Of it and the surrounding
country. The thing is very strange to
me, and cannot pretend to understand
il. We had been holding sesnces for the
fun of the thing" A company styled
the Marble Mining company has been
organized to work the deposits. The
gold is found in q dark rock. A furnace
and ore crusher have been erected to
handle the output Of the mine, which IL
located ON Raccoon creek.-Speoial Phil

ionable diversion that it was when it
first saw the light in America.
Almost every woman in Chicago,
from Mrs. Potter Palmer down to the
delicate little saleswoman or clerk who
takes up pedestrianism for the sake of
the physical benefit which it will bring
her, believes in walking for the sake of
health, gracefulness and the combina
ton Of the two which makes beauty.
DE-. Sarah Hackett Stevenson. one of
the we'll known Chicago women who
heartily believe in athletics, both for
the good they will do Chicago women
and the good which Chicago women
will do them, says that in her opinion
walking is the best possible exercise for
a woman, except running.
ITO run swiftly and lightly" she is
fond Of saying, sis to exercise every
portion of the body from the head to
the heels and from the heart to the
ankles, both thoroughly and delightful
ly. The amount of pure exhilaration to
be derived from a happy run is known
to but few women. But, given the state
ment that a woman cannot for any rea-
son practice running, then, say, let
her walk. Swing the arms naturally,
have no long skirt to hold up and wear
easy shoes. The woman who follows
this advice thoroughly and persistently
will soon be as we'll and handsome as
it is possible for her to be. And walk
ing is form of athletics within tLc
reach of every woman in Chicago. -
