The aeronaut, who was to have gone up
in the balloon, had the presence of mind 70
call to the boy: Hang on! Hang on TO

The boy bravely clutched the line and
souirmed around until he caught one of
the dangling parachute ropes. The little
fellow showed admirable nerve and did
not once make slip as he twisted him
self about and gradually worked UP to

by men in wagons or on horseback.

Great Bend. Kan. July 9.-Fifteen thou
sand acres OF wheat went up in flames
here yesterday. The fire was started
by an unknown man throwing a lighted
cigar into a field of wheat stubble. Ev-
erything was as dry as finder and soon a
destructive fire was IN progress from the

their work and exhausted all the methods
they knew for fighting fires, but to no

Roughly estimated the loss in wheat

London. July 9.-That the foundations

the cathedral has reused the dormant
anxiety. which is stimulated by pro-

the cathedral stands was never very good
and that this caused Sir Christopher
Wren, the architect of the cathedral, to
take precautions. despite which the
ground yielded. Mr. Clarke adds:
