PATTI rutF1ILs A PROPHECY.
Third Marriage Of the Diva Predicted
by an italian Peasant woman
Many Years AGO.

The prophecy Of nm old Italian peas
ant woman wos fulfilled at Brecon.
Wales, when Adelina Patti took Baron
Cederstrom as he third husband. Patti
knew of the prophecy und probably
found consolation therein when Roman
Catholic and Lutheran ecclesiasticism
seemed to stand between her and her
third marriage.
The forecast which Patti made true
10 found In volume Of rambling
sketches, entitled les Fugitives de
vienne," by Adolph Eelot. The volume
was brought out in Paris in 1883. Belot
relates that while he was in Monte
Carlo Patti was made the subject Of
conversation between him and some
friends He expressed a hope to hear
her in Paris. but was told it was vain,
as she was to sail for America.
"She has been told" said Belot's
companions, shat If she goes to Ameri-
ca she will never come back. for she
would die while crossing the sea. A
woman Of her own country told her
this"
"Eb. bien!" replied Belot, "but to
reassure her there is another prophecy
which she probably has forgotten. One
day in Florence I heard in the hotel,
where we both happened to be staying,
a peasant woman predict to her that
she would be married three times. As
Marquis de Crux is not yet dead it is
hardly probable that from the month
Of October to the month of March. her
American season, she will have the
time to bury Marquis de Cruxr to marry
Nicolini. to bury him also, and to take
a third husband. AS the one predicted
contradicts the other, I advise her in
her own interests to choose rather the
second than the first"
Patti took Belot's advice and chose
the second prophecy. She made her
American tour safely and lived to see
both the marquis and Nicolin; buried.

AIDS SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.
George Jaubet Discovers Method
OF Renewing Osyxen
Ia Air.

An important discovery has been an
nounced by the French Academy of
Medicine. George Jaubet has been ex-
Perimenting on how to supply air or
renew oxygen air for man hermeti-
cally sealed in space like diving bell.
His hypothesis was that 70 per cent. of
nitrogen contained in respirable air
remains intact after the Fl per cent. of
oxygen has been consumed. and that
The same nitrogen, mixed with a new
supply Of oxygen, again becomes res
pirable air when the carbonic acid and
vapor produced by breathing has been
removed. NJ. Jaubet found his hypoth-
esis to be correct. The most important
question was the generation of oxygen.
1t appears that be has discovered
chemical substance which. by contact
with the atmosphere. clears the viti-
ated air of all impur, gases produced
by respiration and rcfurnishes. auto
matcally. the requisite Quantity of
oxygen. He STATES that six to eight
pounds of this substance will enable
a man to live for "a hours in diving
bell. The Importance OF this discovery
to submarine navigation is apparent.

The Deadly Tr"y.cy In Egypt.

In the first four weeks after the open
ing of the electric railroad at Cairo,
Egypt, 1t is said that no less than 50
persons were killed, and since that time
the weekly average oi victims is seven
or eight. This very high rate of casual
ties is supposed to be due in part to the
imperfect sight of many natives in con-
sequence of the prevalent eye diseases,
but fully as much is due perhaps to the
fact that they are unfamiliar with such
swift-moving vehicles.
