AERONAUT GETS WET
sANTss-DuMoNws BATH IN MO
 NoCo BAY.
His Airship collapses, and the 1nven- tor Narrowly Escapes Death Hs is Not Discouraged by
 the Accident.

Monaco, Feb. 1k-Santoe-Durnont, the aeronaut, met with . disaster here today and had narrow escape from death. His eir-ship is a tatteSed wreck. while tonight his motor lies a& the bottom of the bay of Monaco.
 It was soon noticed after the aar-ship re co this afternoon that instead cf main taining its urual equilibrium. ths balloon rose and pitched in . way that created conside.abl anxiety among tho specta- tors. The aeronaut, however. kept on his flight and, pointing his air-ship to the left, continued to ascend until the Ions guide rope was quite twenty feet out of the bay. In turning the balloon. the guide rope caught in the screw. and this. with the cratic working of the air-ship, created . situation of great danger. At the same time sQuall burst and Santos Dumont tilted the head of his balloon upwards in order to disengage the guide rope. But in 90 doing the ballast shifted and the oil used to run the motor began to spread. Fearing an explosion, the tn- ventor pulled the emergency cord. This ripped the envelope of the balloon, which at once began rapidly to descend.
 In the meanwhile the steam launches In the bay were making toward the spot where it was supposed the balloon would fall The first to approach was the Prin- cess Alice, belonging to the Prince of Monaco, and those on board seized the balloons guide rope. Tho balloon de- scended until Santos-D -Dumont was im- mersed up to his armpits in the water. The aeranaut could be seen standing up In his car gesticulating and shouting di- recticns to those on the launch which was towing him towards the Princess Alice. At five mil ut.s of 3 tho end of the bal loon burst and the launch came along side the half-defiated balloon of the air ship, which threatened at any moment to smother Santos -Dumont.
 The latter was half pulled and half clambered over the gunwale into the boat With the sea water dripping from his clothes and looking like a water rat, the inventor stood in the bow of the launch ehouting directions for the salvage of his air-ship. It was impossible to save more than the silk envelope. The motor sank
 As Santos Dumont landed, the great assemblage which had gathered on the shore, acclaimed him with extreme en. thusiasm His first words were: "I am not discouraged. My trip to Cape Mar tin is only postponed. will start again as soon as can get ready"

pie, but for localities. As a result Of
this, nearly every place in the city has
two or more names, such as Harlem,
Washington Heights, Little Italy, Co.
lumbia Heights, Cathedral Heights, the
Manhattan valley, the Ghetto and .
dozen others.
And these different localities also
have residents with their own peculiar
tiles. You can tell woman who lives
in Washington Heights by her walk
She is so used to climbing the hills that
she swings her right arm, which is held
stiff as pump handle, and is used as
a sort of piston rod in mounting the
high places, even when she is on Broad
way or the Sixth avenue shopping dis
trict.
Another type is the business woman
of New York, and she is rapidly becom-
ing distinct species. Her face has
taken on the care-worn look of the
man. She is not the new woman, but
she is the masculine business woman.
Her chin is getting square and her
mouth is set like mans. Darwin says
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-03-22

all creatures are governed by natural
selection. Time and circumstances
bring about great changes in our phys
ical appearance. According to this
theory the business woman of New
York in two or three more genera tons
will be broad shouldered and have
whiskers.
The New Yorker has the reputation
of being chilly and cold. This is par
tally a libel. He is only on the face
of it. His formality is the thing that
holds him back from being free and
open-hearted with everybody. If you
ask New Yorker a question he will
go out of his way to tell you all he
knows about it. And if there is the
least excuse for talking on street cars
or other public places, he will enter
into the liveliest kind of a gossiping
match with whoever is near him. This
applies equally to men and women.
One thing of which the New Yorker
boasts: Women, generally speaking,
are perfectly safe on the streets at all
hours of the night. A New Yorker may
ogh a woman on the cars, but she is
always safe when out alone.
Another point that is noticeable is
the patience of the natives of New
York. They live all winter in cold
apartments rather than complain. A
Chicago man would 60 down in the
basement and have a catch-as-catch-
can wrestling match with the janitor,
but the New Yorker will bide his time
till his lease runs out and then quietly
move away.
Next to his love of dress and q
promenade on upper Broadway or
spin in an automobile on Fifth avenue,
the New Yorker dotes on eating. It
seems as if the people were eating all
the time. There are more restaurants
there than in any other city, in COM
parison to the population, in the
world. Even the cheap places try to
initiate the big hotels. They serve table
d. hote for Is cents, and they do it
with as much eclat as if the waiter
gave you a check for ten dollars at
the end of it.
New Workers spend their money Law
ishly. They eat a great deal; they
drink great deal, and they are con-
tinually seeking amusements, when
not sleeping or working. For the very
rich people it is an ideal city, as every
luxury on earth man be obtained here
