A special from Jamaica says that
the Spanish dag on Moro Castle at
Santiago was half-masted on June
20th, several hours after the bonn
bardment by the Vesurlus, which
could not be understood, and it was
thought by a great many that it meant
tue death of IIobson aud his COM
panions. Sampson does not believe
It, aud thinks that placing the dag
at half-mast was in honor OF the death
OF General Fijera. who was killed in
the bombardment. Another dis
patch says that Gen. Blanco refuses
to exchange Hobson and his crew.

stick should fit smoothly through the
larger spool. Having marked the GEN.
ter of the lath, bore a hole slightly
smaller than the pencil-shaped stick,
and drive the lath on the end of the
stick projecting through the larger
spool, using plenty of glue to keep it
from becoming loose.
The remainder of the work lies in
supplying power to revolve the lath
rapidly. This may be accomplished by
means of a wheel with a wide rim with
handle attached. A tireless bicycle
wheel will serve the purpose. Attach
it to a strong upright resting on the
floor. so that with an improviSed crank
handle attached the wheel may be
turned with steadinesS. The wheel be-
ing set in direct line with the smaller
spool, a narrow band or betting can be
stretched tightly around both the
smaller spool and the rim of the wheel
and the ends sewn together. BY turn
ing the handle, the lath may now be
revolved at a great speed.

In the little log house in the valley
camp, one mother prayed that day as
only a Christian mother Drays for her
boy in peril.
IN one hour puffs of dust blew across
their faces, the sun went under clouds,
ana = sudden storm, so common In
Mexico, swept down the valley. The
wind swirlec over the tops of the
mountains, and snow came suddenly
from the gray sky. The wind increased
and shriexed through the narrow
mountain roads. Icy cold and DitileSs,
it drove the boys to their faces on the
bottom oe the wagon. The horses.
blind and shivering, stood still. In half
an hour not one FOOTPRINT or wagon
track was visible.
Sam shouted: Don't dare lift up your
head, Joe; keep fiat on your face
How long the storm lasted the boys

horses began DlOdding along. The sky
cleared, the wind grew less, but only a

them.

revolutions a minute, and instantly the
spectators see the picture before them,
quite as distinctly as if on screen,
though it seems like a ghost picture,
for not only can the picture be seen
apparently on the air. but whatever
may come in the line of the vision Just
duced by some one standing behind, or
placing objects in position, as they can
be seen through the picture almost as
wildly as the bones of ones hand
through the flesh by the Rcentgen rays
AS will be understood, each position
of the lath as it turns gives the retina
a section of the picture, and all these
sections are seen within so short a time
that the eye retains them all and
blends them into the complete image
The moving lath is not seen during its
rapid rotation. all that is noticeable be-
ing slight haZineSs in the air.
1t is only necessary to gradually re-
duce the velocity of the turning lath
to arrive at point where the image is
no longer visible But the point at
which the air picture of the horoscope
ceases to be visible is not the same for
all eyes, for people with great persist
ence of vision continue to see it longer
than others with small persistence, it
being visible to some when revolving
but so times a minute. BY noting the
number of revolutions per minute made
by the lath when the picture disap-
pears. one may thus compare his visual
ability with that of another.
Amusing ghost effects can be OBJ
tanned by the apparatus for theatrical
purposes, pictures even having been a
success with the light turned up full.
The originator of the horoscope also be-
lieves it will be of a great value in
testing the eyes. and in examining men
for the signal service.
