a few minutes the spectators can wit
less the phenomena of an entire nights

In the theater there passes before the
eyes of the audience the setting of the
sun, and the gradual rising of the
neon, the filing of the heavens with
stars. and so on to the daWning of the

In order to heighten the illusion, the
theater is darkened during the exhibit

graph at work on the stage is visible.
and, the supporting effect of the sta
tionary walls being absent the audience
gasps as the well known heavenly
bodies gyrate with dizzy speed, and in
defiance of all their accepted rules for
their movements.
FlammariOn's wonderful experiments
did not end with the illusion described.
With the cinematograph he caused to
be shown in the theater a picture of
the earth as seen by the inhabitants
of the moon, if there be any. The man
ner in which this picture was obtained
is very ingenious. Flammarion caused
to be constructed huge globe on
which was marked all the various seas
and countries of the earth in their
exact geographical positions. Then,
aiming MS instrument at this globe, he
caused it to revolve by means of
mechanism designed for the purpose
Behind this globe Flammarion had
placed a representation of the firma-
ment as it appears at night, and then
Illuminated the globe with a strong
light made to shine on the globe in the
manner that the sun does on the earth
Then the globe was set revolving, and
the cinematograph photographed it in
two minutes, showing the entire revo-
luton of world in that space of time.
The effect is wonderful. The audience
sees the world revolve in few
minutes, exhibiting the great globe,
with every sea, river and mountain
faithfully portrayed. AT the proper
time night falls on the world, and the
day dawns in due course when the re-
volving globe comes back to the light
of the sun. Every detail is shown on
the screen with wonderful fidelity.
The interesting exhibition is attract
ing a great deal of attention from
scientists, as we'll as from those who
come to see 1t because it is a novel aud
interesting show. 1t is acknowledged
to be one of the most useful educators
from a scientific point of view that has
yet been invented.

for action. When the right moment came

same time our rifles came to level the
strangers faced about, looked down the muz-
zles of rifles and up went their hands.
Then Daily gave the strangers short talk,
plain and to the point.
We don't like your company, said Daly,
ard you can't travel with US any longer
DAILY then ordered them to retrace their
steps. The rascals swore and pleaded, but
when at last DAILY lost patience, and lifted
his rifle, saying: Get along, now, or you are
both dead men," the pair started on a run
back over the trail. We could hear their
curses and threats for ten minutes.

hours of the night. Nelse took his turn next,

awakened by the sounds of shot. l jumped
up, grabbed my rife, and ran toward my
comrades whom 1 saw kneeling behind a
group of bou.ders to the left OF camp.
l did not know what was up, but Daily soon
enlightened me by shouting, The devils are
of them.
I'VE opened steady fire, and the unseen
enemy was just as wasteful of ammunition
as we were. Finally, Just as the light was
growing, six men broke from the c.ump OF

'Ghouls? The mountain trails are full of
them. and many an honest fellow after
months of suffering and hardship, has come

ing to walk over it with my husband and
the other men of the party. 1t would only
take an hour or two in this way instead of
one or two days of the hardest kind of
climbing. So they tucked me into a little
box, only two feet wide and three feet long
and about two feet deep. 1t was only made
for carrying freight, they said, so they tied
and strapped and bound me in as they
would a load of groceries, and l wondered
why they were so careful about it, for l
told them 1 wouldn't jump out.
But they just laughed, and told me to
hang on and not be afraid. Then they
hoisted me up onto something like an over
head trolley wire The cables attached to
the box 1 was in started with creaking,
grinding sound. Straight UP the mountain
side and into the dark canon l went as if I
were a bird. Higher and higher up from
the ground the cables carried me- and 1

for home. Just as we were about to
leave town, / ran into one of the ghoul
ish guides in a gambling house, and at
once asked him where our friends were.
The chap was drunk and ugly, and re-
piled, with an insolent leer: If you'll
go back a few hundred miles on the
trail, you'll find them waiting for you
The boldness of his answer made me
lose my head, and, instead of letting
the matter drop there, | started in to
mix up with him. This was a job
got the worst of, as the room was
full of desperadoes, who were plainly
in sympathy with him, and at the first
out of the den, something L, should
have done at the. beginning before
speaking to the bandit.
Hunting up Farrell and Bauer, 1 told them
of what had occurred, and we at once went
to the authorities and laid the matter before
them. Inside of an hour a posse of thirty
armed men ready to surround the
gamblng-house and take out the ghoul, but
the fellow had been taken away by his COM
papions and we could not pick up the trail.
Later learned that the man went I'M
der the name of yellow Tom and was an
all-round bad man. Two days before we
reached Dawson lie had shown up with big
lot of gold dust, which it is now plain was
stolen from the men he murdered. Stronger
proof than this was found in a sled which
was owned by one of cur Dead Mule valley
party This was unearthed in a secondhand
supply store along with some guns and
blankets which l had trouble in Identify
ing, and the proprietor said positively he had
bought the stuff from yellow Tom
F. l.. Heating is Chicago man who has
had experience with the ghouls of the Klon-

Il came out of the IIlondke district with
two comrades early in November last by the
overland route. For two weeks we struggled
on over mountains of ce~and snow and being
pretty well tired out got little careless.
Suddenly two strange men were with US.
Nobody seemed to know where they came
from; apparently they had just sprung up

ped out of the party. Our only fear
then was that the guides were making
a bold bluff to earn the $1,000, and
might get US lost in the mountains. We
ad no idea they were pilots for band
of ghouls, as they afterward turned
out to be. We tried to induce the other
campers to wait, but the strangers had
won them over, and early in October
Farrell Bauer and myself babe the
others goodbye. Nobody has seen or
heard of any member Of that party,
except the guides, since that day.
"One week later Farrell, Bauer and 1
struck camp and took up trail to the
west. After a five-weeks struggle and
great suffering our little band Of three
reached Dawson, and we were surpris-
ed to learn that our friends had not
arrived there. We waited nearly a
month for them, and then started for
home. Dawson is full of energetic
newspaper men, and the arrival of a
party of twenty men with fully 800, 900

out of the underbrush, and I didn't like the
way the thing looked.
I'VE left Dawson with $4,000 in dust, and
this fact must have been known to the gang,
for nothing else would have brought those
men out there in that weather. They in
sisted that they were prospectors bound to
the diggings, but they had no packs, no min
ing outfits, and only two days rations of food
and their rifles
I'VE were then crossing the Dalton trail
and were heading for Fort Selkirk. Repeat
edly we had to lay down our weapons and
assist in handling the packs and helping each
other up and down the hills. The two strang-
ers were always together in the center OF
the party, and their guns were always close
by them. / did not believe they would at
tack alone, but suspected they would try
to lead into a trap. At the first halt L
informed my companions of my suspicious.
We decided upon a plan. We were to drop
behind the strangers at the first open stretch
of country and then do a little hold-u bust
ness ourselvesc. We were convinced that the
strangers were robbers, and that they were
after our lives and gold, which practically
meant the same thing to US, for We had risk
ed our lives for the gold and were deter
mined to do so again. Phil DAILY, one OF my
partners, was a big, strapping fellow, al

From the Seattle Post Intelligencer.


Transportation to the Klondike is
revolutionized. The dreadful Chilcoot
pass is spanned by an aerial tramway
A Yankee woman has crossed in an
hour and a half the mountain defile
which has hitherto tried mems souls
and bodies in a struggle of days and
weeks. Never before was such pioneer
enterprise displayed in establishing a
means of transportation over almost
impossible heights. But this is only
the beginning of the new transporta-
ton system to be in operation to the
Klondilke this season.
All along the chain of lakes, reach
Ing down from the summit Of Chilcoot
pass to the Yukon river steamers are
now being built. The rapids in the
great rivers and the shallow streams
leading from lake to lake are being
connected by tramways like logging
railroads for the carrying of freight
and baggage from one steamer to an
other. By these means a continuous
transportation service direct to Daw-
son City is expected to be in operation
when navigation opens.
But the greatest marvel of all Is the
Chllcoot aerial tramway, completed
only three weeks ago. Towers are sta
toned at a distance from each other
of several hundred feet. From one to
the other of these are strung cables.
from which hang the cars, operated
by separate set of cables.
The tramway will be operated in two
sections, one four miles and the other
of nearly the same length. The first
section begins eight miles from the new
wharf at Dyea, where passengers and
goods are landed from the steamers.
From the wharf to the mouth Of the
mountain canyon, where the first sec
ton begins, goods are to pe conveyed
by narrow-guage railway.
There they are transferred to the
tramWay cars by which they make their
first ascent.
Then they are carried to where the
power house, with it's fifty horse power
engine, is located.
There they are transferred to the sec
end section, by which they are sent
over the mountain, crossing at a point
$500 feet above sea level At the end
of the line the cars are set down, with
out stepping the power cable, by an au-
tomato device, and are again taken up
when ready to be returned, with equal
ease
The cars used are simple simple box
appearing affairs. The capacity of each

there are overawed by numbers. The
worst tat can happen to a man is to
BE cheated of his hard-won gold dust
n a gambling den. But in the sparse
ly settled region round about murder
and robbery are rife.
George F. Barry, recently returned
KIondiker, makes this statement:
MY story sounds so much like a dime
novel adventure that l am almost
ashamed to talk about it. I went over
the Dyea trail with a party of six early
in March, 1897. The trail was then
new and in bad shape, and we were
compelled to throw away a lot of sup
plies. We finally settled in what is
now known as Dead Mule valley, and
laid out our claims. We had fair luck,
and before the winter set in had clean
ed up nearly $4,000 apiece. In the
meantime twenty other miners had
come down from the Klondike region
and made their homes in the valley.
"ToWords the last of September two
strangers claiming to be unlucky pros
pectors, wandered into camp and spent
a week with US. BY that time we were
all anxious to get back to Dawson, but
had not made up our minds as to the
best way Of reaching the town. The
two strangers said they could lead US
through the passes to the Dawson trail
A deal was made with them to act as
guides for the party, their pay to be
$500 each.
Il don't know how it was, but IN
some manner 1 became suspicious of
the strangers, and at the last minute

cord placed rein-wise through the boys
mouth. On the faces of the trio there
is shown the greatest possible amount
of enjoyment, and the contrast be-
tween the happiness and the poverty
stricken appearance Of the group is
particularly striking.
Although Miss Tenant has not con-
fined herself to painting as pursuit,
the quantity and quality Of her work
would suggest that she had made
painting her life work, as for many
years past her pictures have been
shown at the Royal academy, the
Grosvenor, the Society of Lady Artists,
and at the New gallery, so that her
output of work. which has by no
means been confined to the street Arab,
has gained for her rare artistic ability
a very wide recognition both on the
part Of the critics and Of the large
public.
elder sister have been painted by Mr.
Watts, R. A. Miss Dorothy was de-
plcted by him holding squirrel in her
arms. which, it has been said, is a con-
ceit intended to symbolic the vivac-
ious temperament Of the lady. More
familiar to Americans is the portrait
painted of her by the late Sir John
Millais, representing a girl meditating
on the fateful answer to letter which
she holds in her hand, the title of the
picture being Nor
Possessed of a bright and winning
temperament, Mrs. Stanley is we'll
known for her generous disposition. Her
tendency has ever been to sympathiZe,
and in no inactive way, with the home
less and outcast; the seamy side of life
has had a keen interest for her. 1t is
the result of no passing phase of fash
ionable stunning" but the outcome
of a very true and womanly tenderness
towards those whose lives are a con-
slant struggle with privation and suf-
fering.
Yet, it may we'll be mentioned, Miss
Dorothy Tenant has had a time of
suffering, of anxiety which was entire
ly her own. She became engaged to the
famous explorer, Mr. Henry NJ. STAN
ley, before he left England to proceed
to the rescue of Emin Pasha, though
the fact was kept secret, and conse-
quently she suffered three years of
great suspense. Most Of us can well
remember the rumors which came
through the press that the traveller had
been lost in the almost impenetrable
wilds CT mid-Africa. At enc time it was
said that ne had not succeeded in ira
VerSing the forest, at another that he
had been killed by the savages, or again
that he had been killed at Khartoum.
When one thinks of the interest
which was everywhere felt in the fate
of Stanley, and the way-very far from
anything approaching callous indiffer-
ence-in which that interest was ex-
pressed, one can family imagine the
sense of alternating hope and fear
which must have dominated the mind
and heart of the not less courageous
Miss Dorothy Tenant. Yet no one
had any notion that she had more Spe-
cial cause than the rest of US for her
passionate interest and anXiety-the
secret was we'll kept, and only on the
safe return of the explorer from Dark
