Novel Bioyol. Path.


In the mountainous region about
Los Angeles and Pasadena, in South
ern California, the lot Of the wheel
men is not an altogether happy one,
for cycle paths are unknown there and
beyond city limits the way for riders
is SO rough and rolling that the pleas
ures OF cycling scarcely compensate
for the pains. A change is about to
come over the face Of these condi-
tions, however, by the construction Of
the most novel and elaborate wheel
way In this country and probably the
world. An elevated cycle path Of
framework nine miles long has been
designed to connect the two places.
The path will be supported by two pill

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-05-17

The most remarkable fishing in the
world is that practiced in catching the
sturgeon in the frozen rivers Of the
Ural mountains. Fishing on horseback
seems impossible, yet this is literally
true of the fishing for sturgeon.
The Russian Cossacks go fishing in
large bands They mount their horses
and ride across the frozen river until
they are over the place where the cur
rent runs strongest. There they dis
mount and cut through the thick layer
of ice until they have formed little
pool Of open water, extending across the
current almost from shore to shore
A net which is sunk to the bottom CT
the river, is stretched across the stream
at the open space, so that not fish
can swim past it, The horses are re-
mounted, and the Cossacks ride up the
river for distance of four or five miles.
Here the l.,nd turns about and rides
down over the thick ice covered stream.
forming long line across it. They urge
their horses at full gallop.
The laundering hoofs Of the horses
terrify the fish, and they charge madly
ahead of the approaching cavalcade.
Great swarms of fish choke up the
stream in the mad effort to escape the
terrific noise that is pursuing them, and
in this way they are driven down the
stream to the net

Ask some of the company if they can
blow small bit Of cork which you have
placed in the mouth of bottle so that
it will go into the body of the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon its
side and place the bit of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of the bottle instead of going
into it. There is simple reason for it
too The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottle S walls and must find
an outlet; therefore it is turned and fore
ed cut at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with it
But take a common lemonade straw
place the end of it near the cork in the
bottle neck, blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.

A Thrilling cnt.

Perhaps the most thrilling entertain
ment on record was one witnessed in
the Romagna, which was as unexpected
as it was unauthorized 1t was the last
day of the carnival, and the theater Of
Formlipopoli was packed with crowd
of spectators awaiting the rise of the
curtain After long delay the curtain
went up only to disclose stage occu-
pied by 100 brigands facing the audi
ence with pointed rifles
The leader of the strange cast, II
Passatore one of the most ruthless rob-
bers of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror stricken audience and ex-
planned that the theater was surrounded
by his men, that the first man who at
tempted to escape would be shot, and
that he and his merry men would pro-
coed to collect any money and valuables
they had with them.
The brigand and his men then de-
scended from the stage and stripped tho
audience of their possessions to the val
ne of $500, 600 He then thanked them
all in graceful speech and left the
theater 1t is comforting to know that
he and 100 of his brigapds We're cap
tured shortly after and that they paid a
heavy penalty for their evenings en-

London, May 1.-THE Standard and
Diggers News, the Boer orgain in Lon
don, has a dispatch from Pretoria which
says that warrants We're issued by the
state attorney and We're executed at
midnight.
The dispatch adds that plot or re-
bellion is alleged to have been maturing
for four months and that the accused
who are said to have been engaged by
the South African league. had already
enlisted 1000 men.
The adVices from Johannesburg are
probably connected with a mysterious
dispatch received at Johannesburg from
Pretoria on May IL, saying a special
train, fully equipped with Boer artil-
lerymen, guns and a searchlight appar-
atus, was being held in readiness at the
capital of the TransVaal.
The statement was then declared to
be without significance, but the present
news throws more serious light on the
movement, and it is certain there will be
a great sensation in Lon'on when the
news of the arrests become generally
known

for permission to sell a family heirloom,
a blue diamond weighing 441a carats,
estimated to be worth from e11,000 to

that the gem was useless for ornament
and that it would be wiser to sell it
for the benefit of Lord Hopes income
than to allow it to lie in banks safe
for the next 40 years. Counsel for the
Duke of Newcastle and Lady Beatrice
Lister Kaye. the eldest sister of Lore
Hope, opposed the sale, which the court
