Present Majority,
MlNlSTERlALlsTS GAIN NINE SEATS
Dreyfus Champion Meets Defeat In
Bases Alps Voting Unusually
Heavy with Scarcity of
Disturbances.

PARIS, May 12.-The result Of les re-
ballots out of a total Of ia show that l2s
ministerialists and forty anti-ministerial-
lists have been elected.
The ministerialists gain nine seats in the
hamber as a result OF the reballoting. The
government majority is materially strength
ened.
The Dreyfus champion, Joseph Reinach,
republican, whose temperance in political
life was one of the features Of the elections,
has been defeated in his district Of the
Department of Basses-Alps.
The Parisians in those municipal dis
tricts where reballoting was held today for
the election Of members Of the Chamber Of
Deputies crowded early to the polls and
voted quickly. They then proceeded to
profit by the beautiful weather and enjoy
themselves in their customary Sunday
manner.
The voting was unusually heavy and there
was much animation in some districts, espe-
cially in the Twelfth, where the nationalists
concentrated their forces In an effort to de-
feat the reelection by reballot Of NJ. MIL
lerand, the minister OF commerce. The ma
tionalists failed, as M. Millerand secured a
small majority.
Throughout the evening the boulevards
and the streets In the vicinity Of the news
paper o%flces, where the returns we're bull
letined. were so crowded that trafnc had to
be suspended. The excitement continued
until a late hour tonight. The police and
the Garde Republicaine kept the people
moving. but the crowd was ~good-natured
and orderly.
One Disturbance i'm Paris.
There was but one disturbance. This
occurred at a voting place in the Rue La
Cordaire, after the polls were closed. NJ.
Thiebaud, a defeated nationalist candidate,
was injured.
The deputies elected include NJ. Clevis
Huegues, the poet socialist, while Mines,
Viviani and Allemane, socialists, are de-
feated.
The reports indicate that the reballot
has been favorable to the government. as
half the ministerialists, including M.
Leyges, the minister of public instruction;
M. Brusson and Jules Sigfried, former min
lister of commerce, we're elected.
NJ. Paschal Groutet, ministerialist, a re-
firing deputy, who was reelected in Paris,
died Of apoplexy this evening. NJ. Lortoris,
liberal republican, who was elected at
Lille, died shortly before the polls closed.
All the Observation-Disclosures in Algeria
were defeated.
The only serious election disturbance re-
ported occurred at Marseilles. where the
mobbed. Windows were smashed and pis-
tolls were discharged. Nobody was injured
and some arrests were made.

LIGHTNING KILLS 700 A YEAR.
Most of the Killed Struck Down in
the Open.

From 700 to 800 persons are killed annually
by lightning in the United States, accord
ing to estimates made by Alfred ]. Henry
of the United States weather bureau. In
1900 the bureau received reports of 73 cases
Of fatal lightning strokes.
In the same year, according to the re-
ports collected by the weather bureau, 97S
persons were more or less seriously in
jured by lightning. The loss of life from
lightning is greatest In the Ohio valley and
the middle Atlantic states. II density of
population only be considered 1t is greatest
In the upper Missouri valley and in the
middle Rocky mountain region.
OF the 7l3 fatal cases reported in 1900 291
persons were killed In the open, 1853 in
houses, hfty-seven under trees and nifty
six In barns. The circumstances attend
ing the death OF the remaining ISL were not
reported. This seems to dispose OF the old
superstition that the safest place To be in
during a thunderstorm is the open country
and the most dangerous under a tree.

HONESTY IN WALL STREET.
How J. =. MORGAN laugh, a Lesson to


How ]. L. Morgan Taught n Lesson to
some Shrewd iirokers.
A few weeks ago a Wall street firm
was agent for a cotcric OF street rail-
road capitalists in Philadelphia. The
agents held about GO.OOO shares OF stock
Tor the capitalists ON margin-shares
that the Philadelphmus were under
moral obligations TO control. one day
the agents sent word To the rhiladel-
phians that those shares must be taken
up at once or they would be thrown
on the market. The New York men
knew that 1t would be impossible for
the Pennsylvaniaus to take up those
stocks on such short notice. Anticipat-
ing their failure TO do So, the New York
agents had agreed to sell at low prlca
far more OF the stock than they had
held. They expected that when the CO.
600 shares were east upon the market
they would be able To buy at still
lower price all that was needed TO ill
their own contracts, and that heavy
gain would be made.
This was a scheme that In other years
would have worked, aud To the serious
injury of many more than those imme-
dlately concerned. But new power
had come into Wall street. The Phil
adelphia men took special train to
New York and went to J. Plerpont Nor
gan. They informed him Of their pre-
dicament Tell those fellows TO send
that stock In TO me-" replied Mr. Nor
gan at once The agents We're In de-
spalr. They were forced to ask for the
twenty-four hours allowed by the Stock
Exchange in such emergencies. Next
morning the agents said that by a mis-
take In bookkeeping II had been thought
that securities We're In New York which
We're really In London, and they could
not be delivered for n week or more.
Meanwhile the stock was largely
bought on the Stock Exchange, the
the price went up, and the agents were
forced to buy at very high prices In
order to deliver the 60.OO0 aud other
shares they had agreed TO deliver at
reduced prices. The agents had ex-
treme difficulty In retaining their seat
on the exchange, and some very salu-
tary advice was administered before
the incident was closed. Worlds

FIRST AUTOMOBILE OF ALL
,~~e@@~@~~&~@>~%~~~&@~'

Only a small percentage of those who
nowadays see automobiles speeding
along the streets and boulevards are
aware that the first automobile, CON
sidered In the sense of a vehicle con
tanning within itself powers of locomo-
ton, of which there is any authentic
account was self-movlng shrine OF
Bacchus. This was the invention of
Heron, of Alexandria, who describes II
In his work on automatic mechanism.
The shrine I'm question was mounted
upon two supporting and two driving
wheels was a drum, about which was
wound rope which passed upward
through the space on one side OF the
shrine over pulleys and was fastened
to the ring of a ponderOus lead weight,
which rested upon quantity of fine
dry sand. The escape Of this sand
through a small hole in the middle of
the floor of the compartment containing
1t allowed the lead weight gradually to
descend and by pulling upon the cord
caused the shrine to move slowly :
ward In straight line. Heron describes
the method of arranging and propo,
tioning the wheels in case II was de-
sired that the shrine move In cir.
cular path. He also shows how the
shrine can be constructed to move In a
straight line at right angles to each
other.
Ofiicials of the patent office over
looked the device of Heron when they
granted patents on machines, notwith.
standing that previously Thomas Eu-
bank. Commissioner Of Patents In 1850.

tion. The mechanism Of the latter is al
most identical with that In the mod.

never be, perhaps, a great producer OF
fruits for export. but the raising OF
fruits throughout the country is becom.
ing more aud more Of an Industry. al.
though there is enly the home market
Consul General Bellows. Of Yokohama
says in a recent report, that fruit
growing has not hitherto been an i'm
portant industry in Japan. aud that
there have been very few farms on
which fruit formed the staple crop
But the japanese are now paying much
attention TO fruit growing. What he
has to say about the fruits OF Japan is
of interest:
Fruits originally cultivated. and
prabahly native to Japan. include the
orange, pear, peach. sour plum, al
mond, grape. persimmon, loquat, pome-
granate, ginko or salisburia, and fig.
The 'mikan.' or Japanese sweet orange.
Is smaller, sweeter, and less juicy than
the oranges raised in America. and the
thin membrane separating the sections
OF the fruit is tougher; II has a very
pleasant flavor. and is much used for
food by both natives and Foreigners.
1t is cultivated all through the warmer
regions of Japan. and is the most plen-
tiful Of the fruits raised here, being
found in the markets from early au-
tumn until late the following spring.
The persimmon comes next to the
orange in the number produced. and
is n favorite with the natives, but Its
season is comparatively short. II
closely resembles the persimmon of our
Southern States The sour plum is
extensively cultivated and yields a
good crop, but the other fruits named
above. though more or less widely
grown, are produced In much smaller
quantities-the fig being most abund.
| ant and most valued of the less Inn
portant fruits. The government has
introduced peaches, pears, and grapes
from Europe and America, and has
found the soil and climate well adapted
TO their production, so that these are
now cultivated In addition TO the native
varieties of the same fruits. or the
fruits wholly unknown in Japan until
introduced from abroad, the apple has
proved most successful. and II has be-
come chief product of some districts
In the Hokkaido. or northern island.
The apples are OF fine appearance and
excellent flavor, and the trees yield a
profit very encouraging to the cultiva-
tor, so that the area of their produc-
ton is being increased. The natives
eat fruit chiefly fresh. and its use as
table diet is not general. although
! increasing. The processes of drying
and canning fruits are beginning to
come into use. but only as means
OF preserving the fruit for home con
sumption, not for export Japan and
America.
