LONGEST BALLOON VOYAGE.
French Count Who Sailed in the Air from Paris to kiew, Dis-
 tance of ,3O4 Miles.

The science of aeronautics is attract ing more attention at the present time than ever before in it's history. Sew eral new and ingenious air-ships have been tested before the public in the past few months, including the re- marleable machine of Count Zeppelin, and there is reason for the belief that the world is to be favored at an early date with successful solution of the problem of aerial navigation. An event significant of the large possibilities in that direction was the recent balloon voyage of Count Henry de la Vaul, the French aeronaut, from Paris, France, to Kiew, Russia, distance of 1904 miles. This is the longest balloon voy- age ever made. The air-ship in which this remarkable flight was made is called the Centaure, and was built ac
 cording to plans invented by the count himself. The count was accompanied on the journey by one friend only, Count Castillon de Saint Victor. The balloon was we'll stocked with provi- sions and equipped with all needful ap- paratuz.for aerial observations. Not single unpleasant incident marred the trip. which goes on record as the most notable voyage. tAtodkh b thesair ever ac- SoH4 e@AS4 ~ -. sr

NEW TANGLED FISH STORY.
First Under Water Operation Known to Science Performed In
 Home Aquarium.

Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, the president Of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Is very fond of a collection of gold fish which he keeps in big aquarium in his office. Some months ago one of the most amia ble of these fish de- veloped a kind of fungus growth on it's tail. The growth became huge and the fish lost appetite, grew thin and seemed to be pining away. says the Philadelphia Record. It turned at last. on it's side-a sign that it was half dead, as all keepers of aquaria know.
 Dr. Dixon then decided to operate on the goldfish and with great care he performed the first underwater operation known to science, ampu- tating entire the tail, which had been rendered useless by the fungi oyerrunning it. The goldfish bore the shock well and began forthwith to improve in healtk. Strangest of all is the fact tbat fine new tail has already grown out from the stump of the diseased one.

QUEEN WILHELMINA'S JOKE.
TonEue-TwiSted Name Sprung by the Young Monarch on q Learned
 tChrixtmas Visitor.

The German papers are telling the story of one of the jokes in which the queen of Holland delights. One Christ mas day she, as usual, received the pro- fessors of, the Dutch universities When one learned man greeted her, she met him with an air of childish re- lief and confidence.
 '.Oh, my dear. Myneer, am so glad that.y you have come." she said. ''I have wanted you. Here is letter of thanks from a little king. We conferred the Order of the Lion upon him because he was so good to our Dutch subjects. Now we want you, who are so famous a linguist, to pronouncet for us the aame of our friend"
 The fattered professor took the pa per, looked at it, stammered and blushed until the kind-hearted little queen relented.
 'Never mind about it now," she said; "take it home and study it."
 The name signed to the letter was Djozakartha. Hamangkal Boenwono Senoysanti ing ngalogo Ngabdser Rab- man Sajidin Panoto gdmo Lafakatol- lat VII.

THE FAT MANS VAIL.
He Would Give Ten Years of His Life, Teeth and Hair to
 Be Thin.

The man who was getting bald was complaining a bout natures unkindness to him, when the voice of the clubs prize fat man was heard emanating from the specially reconstructed chair near the front window. 'You fellows think you have your own troubles," said the fat man. Some of you com plain because your hair is falling out; some of you complain because you can't eat, and others because you can't sleep. Some of you even complain be- cause you are thin. Ye gods! Thin :? Why, I'd give ten years of my life if l were only thin. I wouldn't care if were bald and toothless; I wouldn't care if I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep if I could get thin. I weigh-this is. in confdence-I weigh 3os pounds.
 Now, what pleasure do I get out of life? I can't go to the theater or any other place of amusement, because the chairs are not large enough to accom- modate me-" quotes the Philadelphia Record. "The same thing applies to a baseball game in summer. am ashamed to ride in street car. because take up so much room.

Fall River requested T change of nights, and will now have Tuesday and Thursday, instead ce Tuesday and Friday. Fall River also objected to the unequal division of teams in the schedule for the week. The schedule was revised during the meeting to the satisfaction of all. The Maine league question was brought up, and after considerable dis cussion it was voted to place it's play CTS under the ban and allow none to come in without the full consent of the league. This was made especially strong in the cases of Whipple. Cam eron and O'Hara, whose names were mentioned in the motion which was made rule. WhiDple but recently de- serted the Nationals and the other two players named deserted this league early in the season. The schedule com mit+ee promises a schedule for the re- mainder of the season in a few days.

roo EUHlcI FUR SOCIETY.

A Gemure little maid who has had much experience in society made the customary New Years resolutions at the beginning of the new century, but, unlike some of her sisters announced the intention Of using good deal ot hattery in her intercourse with her associates in the future. says a Chicago exchange.
 You may talk about honesty and sincerity all you wish.' she said to friend, but neither~of these qualities makes one popular. The popular girl is she who always has something nice to say whether she means it or not. Perhaps I've been little too blunt in my frankness, but at all events the cooing dove couldn't be gentler than I will appear in 1901.
 Honesty is the best policy in busi- ness. In society I'm not sure it isn't the worst. As preliminary and by way of practice let me tell you that you're looking remarkably we'll to- night. Your frock is dream and your eyes are like stars. You're delight to my eyes and. the joy of my heart.
 ''Of course, won't apply my compli- ments quite as thickly as that in the majority of cases, but I'm going to put in artistic touches whenever I think the subject will stand it." And then she dashed away, intent on her new role and quite unconscious that her last words contained any reflection upon the sagacity of her listener.

Gard Sharps Who Make a Living by Winning Prizes and Pawn.
 ing Them.

Public progressive euchre partie for rather costly prizes have lately de- veloped a new sort of professional Post. There are in the city several small bands of five or six each, mostly women, who go about to public euchre parties and almost always win prizes. The method of procedure adopted by these euchre "sharps" is simple. They watch closely the club and society notes in the newspapers, prepare 3 scb bedule of dates each week, pay tn subscription fee required and enter the games as guesta Their. playing is so expert that they have little difficulty in carrying off the prizes. By these means these people make a comfort. able living pawning their winnings, and so often turning between SEQ and $25 a week.
 The professionals, however, are be- coming known in some parts of town. At progressive euchre party held at one of the armories of the city last week it became known before the play began that there were, several of the "sharps" in the room, ard by strategy they were excluded, although they had paid the subscription. The six-two men and four women-were arranged so that they were placed in pairs at three tables in different parts of the room and then told that, the sets pot being complete, they would have to wait. On leaving the room the six "sharps" met each other and, compar- ing notes, saw what had been done, TAey reentered the room, but found thAt play had already begun. This timA they were informed that the game coula not be stqpped.

TWO WOMEN KNlGHTED.
Earned the Honor by GaIlantry Dur
 ing Siege of Legation in China

In the list of honors proposed by the French foreign office and just signed by the president of the re- public are the names of two ladies, Mme. Lieutier and Mime. von Rost- horn. The two new feminine knights of the Legion of Honor have both been decorated for gallant conduct in China. The former is the lady super- int tsndent of the French hospital at Peitang, the latter the wife of the charge d'affaires of Austro-Hungary at Picking, who has been made an of ficer of the Legion of Honor. NJ. and Mime. von Rosthorn, after the de- struction of the Hungarian legation, sought refuge in the French residence, where both husband and wife helped in the defense of the be- sieged building with untiri1g energy.
 Lieut.. Darcy describes fierce struggle which took place on June 2s and in which NJ. and Mime. von Rost- horn displayed great bravery, the ! lady being badly wounded about the face and hands while assisting her husband in setting fire to Chinese barricade by throwing handfuls of ignited straw saturated with petrol cum on the structure. Mime. von Rosthorn is the second woman of foreign nationality upon whom the French government has bestowed the cross of the Legion of Honor, says the London Telegraph. The first was a Belgian, Marie Jeanne Shellinck, who fought in the wars of the first revolution, under Dumouriez, and of the empire under Napoleon, taking part in the battles of Jemmapes, Ar cole, Austerlitz and Jena. In 1909, when she left the army, at 52 years of age with the rank of sublieuten- ant, she had served IT years, fought in 12 campaigns and had been wounded eight times. On her retire. ment Napoleon gave her the cross of the Legion of Honor, which he him. self pinned on to her soldiers coat, telling the officers to salute her as he did so, because she was one of , the "glories of the e1npire.''

 Dalton had seen the eagles during the day. and toward evening", when one of them swooped down on the poultry, he fired both barrels, of a shotgun at it. The bird fell to the ground with a broken wing, but man aged to fly to clump of trees near the lake. Dalton summoned aid in the meanwhile. The eagle again att tempted to fly, but fell, Tapping, to the ground. A crowd collected, and it was decided that the safest way to capture the eagle was to lasso it. A rope was secured and after nearly an hour the eagle was lariated and dragged to Dalton's ahouse. During the capture of the. bird the mate was frequently seen. A number of shots were fired at it without effect.
 Mir. Dalton says. he will make every effort to keep the eagle alive, and if it survives will present it to one of the marks
