the canal if one wants to make out the

1t was not long ago that a detach-

PERILs OF AN AERoNAUT.
In Danger From the Assaults of
Rfotous Parisiams.

Count Henry de la Vaulx. the we'll
kaown French aeronaut, who proposes
shortly to endeavor to cross the Medfter-
ranean in balloon, had novel expert
ence last evening. when he was forced to
alight with his aerostat in the city OF
Paris. He says 1t was the most exciting
descent he has ever made. rhe treat
ment he received would have only half
surprised him had IL taken place on the
Russian plains where the Inhabitants
are somewhat wild, but in the most civ
lized capital in the world it greatly
shocked him.
The count thus relates his adventure
He left the Clichy Gasworks at o'clock
in the evening IN his balloon lie Reve
having a lady and gentleman friend on
board as passengers. They attained an
altitude of about 1.500 metres, but could
not find current Of air sufficiently
strong TO carry them over Paris. At one
time they were above the Vincennes
Wood, but the balloon then began to
drift back toward the Paris Opera House.
AS the count had no desire to descend
IN the heart of the city, where innumer-
able gas lamps would be alight, he
opened the safety valve, and the ground
was reached near the Moulin des Pres.
Some 4ell-disposcd persons seized the
descent seemed as though IL would take
place under most favorable circum-
stances.

and then one man who got too near the
safety valve was rendered insensible by
the escaping gas This set the crowd
AGAINST the aeronauts Cries of ''Assas-
sinsr' were raised, and the outlook SEEM
cd grave. especially as some of the crowd
began to throw lighted matches at the
balloon. Had an explosion taken place
Count de Ia Vaulx says that many would
have been killed. Finally, with the help
of the police and a few sensible persons
the count was eliS 20 reach a neighbor-
ing residence, where be was offered shell

facturers sell to Chinese compradores,
who buy as agents of foreign firms and
coast, where they are packed in boxes,
which cost about 4 taels (s250). per hun
dred. and hold 250.00O firecrackers.
Apart from the fact that all the ma
teriaI used is native, and produced
where the crackers are manufactured,
and that transportation does not enter
into the cost, the wonderful cheapness
of manufacture is accounted for by the
kind of labor used and the wages paid.
The items of cost of plant and interest
on it are eliminated by the fact that
the crackers are made in the honaes of
the workIpen and in the shops where
they are sold. The hours of labor are
from a. m. to II p. m, and there are
seven working days in each week
Fou -fifths of the crackers consumed in
China are made by the families of
t. se who sell them: these people, of
cuu.'se, receiving no wages. OF the paid
work, very large proportion is done
by women and children, who are paid
by the piece.
1t is estimated that thirty women and
ten men can make 100000 crackers per
day, for which work the women will re-
ceive 3 cents each and the men about
cents each. An apprentice is bound for
four years, and during that time re-
ceives only his board. At the end of
that period he will receive. if he is a
fairly good workman, $50 cash per day,
or cents in United States money. An
expert at the trade receives 200 cash
per day, or 10 cents gold workmen at
this trade receive about the average
rate of wages paid for common labor in
this section of China. The trade is con-
sfdered unhealthy and dangerous, and
therefore not desirable

THE HALF-PENNY MERCHANT.
Dutch Coin Vendors Who Earn Ten
Per Cent Profit.

The dearth of half-penny pieces, or
pieces value 21s cents, in Holland, has
caused a new class of merchant to spring
into existence. namely, the half-penny
merchant writes an Amsterdam cor
respondent. The scarcity of the coin in
ouestion has been caused by the wide
snread movement of the automatic gas
meter. into which the Dutch housewife
nuts her half-pence. In the Netherlands.
the half-penny piece is the larg-
est copper coin made. hence it
is being used for the gas meters and au-
tomotie machines generally The Dutch
mint does nothing to ease the scarcity.
with the result that slowly but surely the
haIf-penny is disappearing from use
among the general public. The dealers
in these coins sell them at the rate of
/ penny premium for every twenty coins,
or 10 per cent profit.-Cleveiand Plain
