The shell used is hollow cylinder
made OF steel tubing, and charged with
calcium carbide, which, coming into.
contact with water, generates acety-
lene gas. The end of the shell remains
above water, and at this end are burn
ers lighted by an electric device CON
tanned in the shell. II is claimed that
the light produced is of 1000 candle
power and cannot be extinguished by
water. The shell is to be shot from
gun to a distance OF two miles, and

ANDREE'S BALLOON

The best opinion now seems to be
that Andree's balloon alighted some
where In Northeastern Siberia. ana
that his fate will soon be determined
There seems to be no doubt that
about two months after he set out ON
his aerial voyage balloon was seen
by the inhabitants Of a village In ST.
IBERIA. 1t was. OF course, impossible
that the original balloon could have
kept afl0at for such length Of time
and the explanation given is that An
dree had constructed fire balloon a.
signal, which seems to be borne out
by the fact that the object seen by the
villagers was visible only for about If
teen minutes. 1t is thought that the

A FLOUKISHING INDUSTRY ENDS.

During the period beginning in the
"thirties" and ending in the sixties. '
the town of New Bedford, Mass. was
the most prosperous place financially
In the United States, in proportion to
the number OF its inhabitants. Its
enterprising merchants and seamen
realized the value of the whale fisher
les, and equipped numerous ships that
chased the sperm whales In the ATTAIN
TIC and then doubled Cape Horn in
the pursuit OF the right whales. The
towns of New London and Sag Harbor
ana the people of Nantucket were also
engaged in the business.
As the fisheries declined in the
North Pacific the ships pushed into
the Boring Sea, and during the open
season, caught the big fish, and when
the Ice closed in they bore away for
these Islands. where they rehtted and
recruited until the season again OPEN

SOLOMON AND THE BRITISH

Gaya, has just been rebuilt. The sa.
cred laws of Brahman, Buddhist, Par.

violation OF any shrine of vishnu. or
OF any Hindu deity, is punished with
imprisonment. This essayist, who Is
an alarmist, asks the British public to
recall the wickedness of Solomon In
this respect, and he asks, with the fin
ger of lscorn pointed in their faces.
how long will the Almighty tolerate
this encouragement of idolatry?
On consulting the Biblical history
of Solomon's rather loose dealings
with strange gods, 1t appears that this
venerable ancestor of Brigham Young
mixed up his matrimonial affairs with
his religion, just as many hundred
years later his distinguished relative
mixed them up in the Salt Lake Val

The British nation. and the British
queen, on the other hand, are pro-

DID NOT POISON HER CHILD.
Bessie Keenan's Daughter Died from
Natural Causes,

Yesterday morning Coroner Roberts
went to Winton and Investigated the
causes of the death of Bessie Keenan's
little daughter. The story was told by
Mrs. Slater Cairns, of Winton, that
the child had been poisoned by its
mother.
This proved to be false. About six
months ago the girl became the moth
er of the child and accused Mrs Cairns
son Of being it's father. the young
man left the town and returned a few
days ago, and 1t was then stated that
he Is married to another woman. Bes-
sic Keenan, had him arrested last
Wednesday and he was given a hear
ing and then lodged in the county jail.
Mrs. Cairns came to town and Informed
Coroner Roberts that the child was
dead, and said she could bring two
witnesses who would testify that laud-
anum had been given the baby by its
mother.
Yesterday the coroner Investigated
the case and found out that the death
was due to meningitis produced by an
attack of whooping cough, the latter
sickness being very prevalent among
the children in the district. There wera
no traces of poisoning.
