AIRsHIP AT BOTTOM OF OCEAN
DECLARES HE WILL TRY AGAIN

MONACO, Feb. 14.-Santos- Dumont, the
aeronaut met with a disaster here to-
day and had a narrow escape from death.
His airship is tattered wreck, While to-
night his motor lies at the bottom of the
Bay of Monaco.
The morning broke gloriously but as
there was considerable wind, Santos-Du-
mont decided not to attempt flight.
Towards 2 o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, the wind dropped and the weather
appeared to be perfect. With the eXcep-
tion of an ominous little cloud hanging
over the hill called Tete de Chen, which
overlooks the bay, the sky was clear and
blue
At this hour Santos-Dumont announced
that he would make trip in his airshlp.
big crowd assembled at the entrance
of the aerodrome, and as the large doors
of the building rolled back, the air-ship
emerged at twenty minutes of 8. A num-
ber of steam yachts and launches, includ-
ing the Prince of Monaco's yacht,
Princess Alice, and a launch belonging to
Eugene Higgins, with parties on board,
were cruising about the bay with the in
tention of following the balloon. Cheers
greeted Santos-Dumont as his air-ship
rose and its head pointed Ior the middle
of the bay.
1t was soon noticed, however, that in
stead of maintaining its usual equi-
Hbrium, the balloon rose and pitched in
a way that created considerable anxiety
among the spectators. The acfonaut,
however, kept on his flight and pointing
his ship to the left, continued to ascend
until the long guide rope was quite twen-
ty feet out of the water In turning the
balloon, the guide rope caught in the
screw and this, with the erratic working
of the air-ship, created a situation Of
great danger At the same time a squall
Dumont tilted the head of his balloon up
wards in order to disengage the guide
rope But in so doing the ballast Shift

gan to spread Fearing an explosion, the
inventor pulled the emergency cord his
ripped the envelope of the balloon, which
at once began rapidly to descend.
SantOs-DumOnt did not lose his head.
He could easily be seen from the shore
watching the various parts of the air
ship. At this time the balloon had slight
ly righted itself and the lower part, hav-
ing become empty, the air-ship dropped
slantingly towards the pigeon shooting
ground, which borders the bay. In front
Of these grounds there lies a reef of
sharp rocks and the excitement on shore
became intense as apprehensions arose
that Santos-Dumont would drift on these
rocks and be dashed to pieces.

ScOtlaud,s Rouud Toxrers

Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers from the great
typical group found In Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe-
dral of Brechin and the other stands in
the center of Abernethy, near the en-
trance gate to the churchyard. The
Brechin tower, built in six irregular
courses and rising over 100 feet, is the
more perfect of the two. 1t dates from
Kenneth's reign, 911-95, and has most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1T72, found
handsome bells within its walls. These
We're afterward removed and now hang
in neighboring steeple. The origin of
these towers is now somewhat doubt
full, but archRologists are generally
agreed that they were built in connec-
ton with churches 'for defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They were afterward
used as belfries, the Brechin tower hav-
ing done duty as such for generations.
The tower is now one of the sights of
the ancient town and is regarded as
memorial of its early Connection with
Ireland.-Scottish- American.

The Changed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having attacked
men, but nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human victims, as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers used to do. Neither does he
lie in wait and, pouncing upon hunt
er, tear him into bloody shreds in de-
lighted fiendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzlys disposition is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change in the char
acter of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar bear Of the arctics. When
the stations for the Hudson Bay COM
pany were established, the diaries of
the men there often referred to the
fright of attacks by polar bears. Many
a navigator In the arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly q century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays it is looked
upon as cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bears disposition.-Ou

CObweb Pills.

In New England cobweb pills are
supposed to cure the ague, and in the
south certain knuckle bone in pigs
foot is a sure cure for rheumatism if it
be carried in the pocket or worn sus-
pended from a string around the neck.
Tracing the spider web pill, it origi-
mated in China, where all species of in
sects have certain positive or negative
values in medicine. In Peking it is
customary to give two or three scor-
pions or spiders to patient i'll of fever.
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill of the New Eng
land native was easy. In Flanders the
live spider is fastened into the empty
shell of walnut and worn around the
neck of the patient. AS the creature

they are not slow to avail themselves
of the chs re. On Fridays every one

about two miles inland, with trees and
meadows on each side. Hundreds Of
boats assemble and glide up and down
the river. Every boat or caique has
two or more Turkish ladies on board.

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women md Their Eject
upon Public Meetings.

American audiences are strangely
alike In some things and strangely dis
similar in others. A good committee
Will take as much pains In the ar,
fangement of It's audience as of Its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding Is seldom enthusiastic. Mel
ther Is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed Of women
or an audience In cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained In the public expression of
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home Is oftentimes more effective In
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In a public meeting, how
ever, the audience gets its cue from
those nearest the speaker. l remember
well two audiences, both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In
one meeting the orchestra was re
served for women. In the other meet
Ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm, the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was a mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. l do
not say that one meeting was less eff
fective than the other, but the differ
ence In the strain on the speaker was
marked.-From "The Spellbinder," by
Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., In Scrib-
ner's.
