OVERCOME BY HIS LUCK.
A Poor French Peasant Who Drew
the Capital Prize of $780,
900 tainted

Before the closing of the Paris ex-
hibition the. last great lottery con-
nected with this stupendous show was
drawn for, the winner of which, poor
peasant. found himself the richer by
half a million francs-that is 100000.
The drawing for this great prize
was fixed for half-past two in the
afternoon. At two o'clock the great
hall was densely packed with mixed
but anxious crowd. Dukes, duchesses
counts, countesses, officers, business
men of all descriptions, workmen in
their holiday attire, wOrkmen in their
working clothes-all went to make up
vivid and sensational picture, says
the London Mail
One peasant told the writer that rs
had travelled 200 miles in order TO be
in Paris in time to see the draw" for
the great fortune, and to make sure
that all was fairly done.
At the tick of half-past two the
committee, composed of men of ire
proachable character-men of the
highest standardized in. The gem
eral secretary of the bank, NJ. Rouxel,
presided.
Before the drawing" he explained
to the people that the first would win
100000 francs, the second and third
10000 francs; the five following 1000
francs, and 100 others 100 francs each.
The supreme moment. has arrived.
Two boys are each placed before a
wheel, the boy on the right giving the
series, the one on the-left giving the
number. There are 325 series of TO-
600 numbers each.
The silence is painful. The faces of
the people in the hall are all anxious
and in many cases quite drawn.
The wheels are turned. The boys
each take a number. The prize. the
fortune, is decided.
Number $3.50 of the sixteenth series
has won, and the owner of this comes
into possession of 100000 francs.
Number $3.50, winner of the first
prize!" is called out. A cry FROM the
center of the hall, a weird, unna tural
cry, and the possessor of ticket $3.50
falls back, staggers, and is carried
away senseless. He is poor peasant,
who for years has never earned more
than 20 francs a week. Now?
1t is interesting to learn that the
winner of the great prize of 1S9s-a
woman-has not yet been paid. This
lady won the 5OO,OOO-franc prize, but
had cut off a small portion of her
ticket.
Now the law regulating these lot
teries is that the ticket must be pre-
scented intact. Should it be mutilated
in the slightest the winner is barred
from receiving the prize until 80 years
have elapsed.

EXPLOSIONS HEARD AFFAIR.
Great RetOnatiOns I'm England THAI
Have Been Audible Many
Miles Away.

That explosions can be heard and
can produce an effect at d great dis
lance is well known, but precise sta
tistics on this point have only lately
been gathered. Taking into considera-
ton the fact that much depends on the
formation of the country and on the
condition of the weather prevailing az
the time, it may be admitted that
cannon can be heard at a distance of
25 kilometers, and that an explosion of
dynamite can be heard at distance OF
80 kilometers, says the New York Her
aid.
The explosion of powder factory
in Anvers some years ago caused ver-
liable earthquake, which was felt at
distance of more than 80 kilometers
The more recent explosion at st.
Helen's, between Liverpool and Man
chester. was even more notable in this
respect. The explosion took place in
a factory of chlorate of potassium. an
explosive material, of which so tons
were destroyed. The explosion was
heard at Alderley Edge, 80 kiIometers
from st. Helen's, and at Murple. As
kilometers from that city. In many
houses the windows were violently
shaken, and near the scene of the ca
tastrophe the ground was moved as
~ an earthquake.
From these and other facts scientists
now conclude that under favorable con-
ditions great explosions may be felt
at distance of so kilometers, and they
maintain that accurate knowledge on
this point is most desirable, since it vii!
help to minimize the danger that might
otherwise result from prearranged ex-
plosions of dynamite or similar sub
stances.

LONG LIFETIME OF WORK.
A Woman In England Who Has
Worked at Lace-Making for
NInety-Five Years.

An Englishwoman VIII" lives near
Bedford, one of the rursY centers of
the pillow lace industry. has been 95
years at her trade. She was born in
the year 1900, and has worked at lace
making since she was fou: years old.
In yoJngdays it was paying trade,
the women often earning more at the
pillow than their husbands at the
pillow. Mrs. Berrington's parents were
not as poor as some of their neighbors.
but her father, being a prudent-and
thrifty man, insisted on putting the
child early to work, deeming it best
that she should have something to fall
back uponif any mishap should overtake
him. So attheage of four she was set to
work at the pillow, and for the 95 years
since then she has worked regularly
at her craft, says Youths Companion.
Those who have not seen this variety
of lace can have no idea of the hun
dreds of thousands of turns. crosses
and twists that must be given the
thread in making a few yards of the
pattern. Even now old Nancy. as she
is familiarly called, can follow an
intricate pattern with ease, and with
out the aid of spectacles.
Many people call to see an old lady
in her hundredth year at work at the
lace-making, and samples of her lace
have travelled far. In her younger
days such lace as she makes brought 80
cents yard; now she sells ii for 10.
Mrs. Berrington's labors have not
affected her health. When she was 9s
years old she walked home from Bed
ford, distance of three miles. because
the carrier. on whose carr the country
people depend in going to and fro,
"dawdled about" too long for her.
Even now she is firm OF scot, and
thinks nothing of climbing over the
fence that incloses her garden in order
to pick flowers for a visitor. Her eye
sight is good and she has hardly gray
hair in her head.

believe that this act of the most re-

A DANGEROUS GUN.
When 1t Let Go the Surrounding Air
Was Filled with Cannon
Balls.

II saw an article in one of the
technical journals recently" said a
New Orleans engineer, relates the
Times-Democrat, describing a so
called centrifugal cannon which
some genius in Manchester, England,
was supposed to have invented. The
mechanism was said TO consist of a
big wheel, which was revolved at
tremendous rate of speed while pro-
jectiles, fed into grooves on its sur
face, were hurled through a barrel
on the same principe that a boy
throws a stone from sling. l could
take a piece of paper and convince
you in two minutes that the thing is
mechanical impossibility, but the
story interested me because it recalled
very similar device which 1 saw
years ago at Louisville, KY.
'It was the invention of a German
machinist named Geisemann, and /
went to look at it at the solicitation
of a friend. who imagined he had
struck a big thing. 1 found Geise-
mann at a little shop in the suburbs
of the city, and he proved to be an
extremely intelligent fellow who un-
fortunately, lacked technical educa-
ton. His gun was set up in the
engine room of the place, and I
couldn't help smiling when l saw it.
1t consisted of a flywheel about five
feet in diameter, with an attachment
for holding half a dozen small can
non balls against the rim and re-
leasing them at fixed intervals. The
idea was to connect the wheel with
steam engine and, when it attained
certain velocity, 20 let loose the
balls just as they passed given point
in the revolution Geisemann had fig
ured that they would fly off at right
angle and hit a target at the other
end of the shed, and he invited me to
be present at the test he was going to
give the following week. To please
my friend l went around and I shall
never forget the ludicrous contre-
temps that wound up the experiment.
About 20 Of us were grouped near
the wheel when the inventor slipped
on the engine belt and began to speed
it up. I suppose it was making a
couple of hundred revolutions min
ute when he touched the spring con-
nected with the release mechanism
and big, black cannon ball instantly
scared off at a tangent and went
crashing through the skylight. The
next missile struck a huge pile of
casting. bounced off and 6hit the boiler
with a smash like 40 bass drums all
being beaten at once. Exactly where
the others landed can't say, for by
that time I was beating a rapid re-
treat; but it seemed to me that it was
raining cannon balls for at least five
minutes. Several of the visitors were
bowled owes like ninepins, and every
thing in ths engine room was more or
less damaged except the target. That
escaped unscathed. Geisemann him
self had crawled into an ash pit at
the frs fire, and when he was
dragged out he was pitiable-looking
object He was weeping bitterly, but
stuck to it that he had simply made
an error in his calculation of curves
and thst the gun was all right
81 never saw it again, and supposed
it was consigned to the scrap heap.
If 1 ever attend another centrifugal
gun exhibition I shall iEsist on a con-
ming tower four feet thick as a coign
of VANTAGE"

Government ReDorts

One interesting f. ct about govern
ment reports is that they are generally
published on Monday mornings, and
the reason for this is that the newspa-
pers of that day are not so crowded
and thus more space is secured. James
g. Blaine, who was an editor before he
became statesman, was the st to
appreciate the opportunity of the Mon
day morning newspaper, and when be
had an important announcement to
make or report TO submit it was al
ways sent out the last of the week, so
as to secure the best possible treatment
on Monday morning. His example has
become precedent in Washington Of
6cialdoms-Saturday Evening Post.
