AN AER0NAUT'S FEAT.
Accident Compels Him to Crawl
from Gun in Midair,
Five Thousand Spectators witness
the Thrilling scene-Escapes from
Perilous Pre- dicament with
Only a Few Scratches.

High above the heads of 5000 Spec
tators at Binghamton, n. Y, a man
crawled from the mouth of a cannon
attached to balloon, a mere speck
against the sky. 1t was a task APP
parently beyond human accomplish
ment, and when he slipped on the
smooth sides of the gun there was a
murmur of horror from the myriad of
upturned faces, and several women
tainted, but with one hand he grasped
q rope. and for a moment swung sus-
pended 1900 feet above the earth. Then.
by tremendous effort, he regained the
tow of the cannon as The balloon and
its burden shot earthward. The man
was Prof. X. ]. Burke, of Blossfield,
Mich, and he came to Binghamton to
make series of ascensions at the
Bmghamton exposition. He was to be
loaded into cannon attached to the
balloon, and when at the height OF
5000. feet was to be fired from the gun
at parachute hanging from the bal
looms side with which he was to de-
scend Shortly after starting he dis
covered that rope had caught around
the trigger which fired the cannon. and
it would not explode. His only hope
was to crawl from the inside TO the
top of the gun. Before this was &C.
complished the balloon had gained q
swift downward impetus, and, though
he endeavored to Tighten it, it struck
in tree in forest some miles away,
and he was held a prisoner in the tree
top an hour and half before re-
leased. He escaped with few scratches.
but in those few moments he lived a
lifetime of agony, and when he slipped
from the gun he gave himself up az
lost.

having armed his eyes with spectacles,
hung his head out of the window, and

lungs which he thus obtained was the

most enthusiastic "chauffeurs" in Eng
land was, and had been for some time,
under the treatment of Sir William

OIL AS FUEL FOR STEAMER.
Steamship Cowrie VoyaEed from
BOrneo to London Using
Liquid Fuel.

The steamship Cowrie, which is dis
charging a cargo of oil from Borneo at
the Thames dock, steamed from Koetei,
Borneo, to London, distance of $3.50
miles, using only liquid fuel. This
was reduced to a spray by steam jet
at the furnace door. The owners say
that the substitution of coal by oil
proved most advantageous.
Six stokers sufliced instead of 16. The
speed was slightly improved and the
bunker space was also economical a
ton of oil occupying but "a cubic feet,
compared with the As cubic feet taken
up by ton of coal. Twenty-Five tons
of oil were daily consumed on this voy-
age, as against 35 tons OF coal con-
sumed in former voyages.
Borneo oil is declared to be excellent
fuel. and is superseding the Russian aud
American product in the far east. as it
can be delivered at 80 shillings ton in
Hong Kong, IS shillings in Japan and
Colombo, and so shillings at Suez.

TEN YEARS OF TALKING.
bled Continually, and II FL
nally Caused Her Death.

Mrs. Lucy A. Reeves, aged 81, who
was sent to the insane asylum at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, ten years ago from Lam
sing, died strange and unusual death
the other day.
She literally talked herself into the
grave. For ten years her vocal illusions
have been constant, no matter what
time of day or night it was. A stream
of words constantly came from her
mouth and her shoutings became so
disagreeablc to her hearers that she
was placed in a padded cell, where they
could not be heard.
As the woman grew older the habit
seemed to grow on her, and her system
gradually weakened. Even in her sleep
the babb,e continued. The other aft
ernoon she had more violent talking
fit than ever and her lungs literally ran
out OF air.

Missing Three-Year-OId Child IL Dis
covered While Caressing

THE lost baby and the big black

in police headquarters at Dallas, Tex,
that lasted Chief of Police Price and
his men an day. Lizzie, the three
year-old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Self, was suddenly missed by her
parents late in the evening. They had
left her playing on the sidewalk in
front of the family home on Canton
street. After searching for the child
for an hour they notified the police
department and general search
throughout the city was instituted.
The theory Of kidnapping was about
accepted by them as the hours passed
with no tidings of the missing child.
About seven o'clock in the morning
two mounted officers riding through
the section of the city park in which
the zoo is located, discovered Lizzie
seated in front of the large iron
grated cage in which big black bear
is confined. The child's feet and arms
were extended inside the cage be-
tween the bars of the structure, and
the little one was gleefully prattling
to and petting the big brute.
Lizzie was taken to headquarters
and restored to her parents. Chief
Price, who used to be Texas ranger.
remarked to the child's parents and
the newspaper men:
IF that had been me, or one of
the force had taken such liberties

an arm or leg off for us, to say the
least. God took care of the baby"
