and her maiden name was Marguerite
Samson. Her husband held a small
municipal office in the town, and she
added TO his slender income by plying
her needle as Il dresSmaker. She died
in 1894, having lived to see her son ele-
waited to the cardinalate. After he be-
came patriarch of Venice she still con-
tinued to occupy a small house In
Riese, in her humility refusing to live
with her son. as even his modest es-
adjustment was considered by her to
be too luxurious in comparison with
what she was accustomed TO.
After Giuseppe Sarto was made pa
triarch he still allowed his family to
continue IN the modest line of life to
which they were born. Three of Its
sisters are spipsters, and one of the
others. Antonio. is married to a man so
poor that she Is compelled to assist in
the support Of the family by dressmak-
ing. Lucia, another sister, is the wife
of a church sexton, who is occasionally
peddler. and the husband of a third
is the keeper of a small inn.
The elder brother Of the pope, An
geIo, lives IN the village OF DelleSra-
Zie, province of Mantua, being the

When Plus Y. was bishop of Man
tua his brother often went there for
reasons connected with the postal serv-
ice. The other clerks would ask him
jokingly why his brother did not find
him a better place. Angelo, with the

teristic of the Sarto family, answered
that he preferred to be what he could

Hull House was founded by Miss
Jane Adams about fourteen years ago.
and with the assistance of wealthy
patrons 1t has been extended in scope
until 1t has become one of the leading
factors in sociological work in this
country. 1t Is asserted that the shah
best man or woman IN Chicago can
enter Hull House without cringing.
The story of its founding is this:
After leaving college Miss Adams and
her bosom friend Ellen Starr travelled
through Europe for the purpose of TAX
ing time to plan for the future. TOyn-
bee Hall, London. made deep impress
sion on them, and they decided to es-
tablish a social settlement in Chicago.

of his flying machine, which is now
being built in his laboratory in Column
bia road, says the New York Herald
The tail of the machine viii be larger
in proportion to the body than. in the
machine which was tested on Aug. 10,
and the three cylinders will be placed
some distance apart rather than near
together, as in the old machine.
1.-THE two most original ideas en-
bodied in our models are the incline
at the end of the cylinders and the ap-
plication Of the large tail" said Edgar
Berliner, son Of the inventor The
pressure Of compressed air against this
incline and against the tail is what
raises the machine so successfully. BY
means of the tail it Will also be posi-
BILE to guide the machine. The tail Will
consist of plates which close over each
way and can be adjusted so as to reg
ulate the movements OF the machine.
An adjustment Of the tail will also
make 1t possible for the machine to
descend, something like a parachute,
to the ground AT present we are ex-
perimenting with propellers of various
sorts to take the place OF the sky
rockets which have been used In pro-
pelling our models"
The Berliner model tried on Aug. 10
is seven feet long. 1t consists of three
aluminium troughs arranged side by
side and inverted. There are five and
a half feet long and open at the front
to admit air freely. One foot from the
rear end they begin TO incline and
slope down to the tail. which Is made
Of pieces OF Tin one and half feet
long. The horizontal area of the ma
chine Is thirty squaye feet, and it
wG1gha together with the ballast
which It carries TO represent the cage
and person OF a completed machine,
about thirty-fouT pounds Oak rods
and metal tubing aGre used In fastening
the main parts Of the machine to
getheP.
The two skyroCHets which sent the
machine through the or fOF 6fty feet
at a uniform distance Of three ana a
half feet from the ground weighed
two pounds each. They were fastened
just above the tail Ballast was sus-
pended from the aluminium portion
near the tail. Here the proRelling ma
chinery Will probably be suspended
when a machine IS constructed of suf1-
cient size to carry an operator.
There are no wings of any sort to
the machine.

MISS RUTH BRYAN, WHO Is TO TAKE
UP SETTLEMENT WORK.

Daughter OF William Jennings Bry-
an to Join stan of Hull House, Chi
cagO-Jane Adams and the Famous
Institution She Founded.
Miss Ruth Bryan, eldest daughter of
William Jennings Bryan, who recently
announced her intention of taking up
settlement work this fall. has arranged
to join the staff of Hull House, Chi
cago, the famous institution supported
by charity for the benefit of the poorer
classes and conducted by Miss Jane
Adams, noted as Il soci0logist.
Miss Bryan, who is nineteen years
of age, for the past two years has been
a student at the University of Nebras-
ka. She is said to be endowed with the
u1limited energy of her father and an
ambition to accomplish something In
the way of assisting the class of chill
dren reached by the work of Miss Ad-
dams. Miss Bryan and her mother
have been deeply interested IN the set
Element for Il long time, and, while
position on the staff of Hull House will
involve somewhat of a sacrifice, the
young woman feels that she will be
engaged in congenial and meritoriOus
work.
While Miss Bryan would hardly be
rallied beautiful, she possesses a grace

ward at that time had few rivals in
wickedness and squalor. Taking an old
building at Polk and South Halsted
streets, they cleaned it up and called
1t Hull House. From this small begin
ming, without funds, it has branched
out until it has reached splendid pro-
portions-a place where the poor and
wretched find a haven, a refuge and
an inspiration.
Trades unions, too. recognize the
beneficent influence of Hull House, and
several of them make the house their
headquarters. and at least two were
formed there. In the great Pullman
strike Miss Adams was chosen to
serve on the arbitration committee.
In Hull House today there are sew
eral score distinct clubs and depart
ments, embracing almost every phase
Of social and civic activity. Besides
educational and recreative departments
such as can BE found In most social
settlements, there are other and more
unusual ones. The Jane club. for in

WATCH ON POSTAL CLERKS

Many PeephOIes aud Secret Look
outs In ChtcaEO's New Post Office.
Every act of every employee of the
money order, registry and mailing de-
partments of the new post office at
Chicago will be liable to the closest
scrutiny by means of q system now be-
Ing installed, says the Chicago Record
Herald. Suspended from the ceilings
of the three departments and connect
ed with each other are lookouts In the
form of Enclosed observation platforms.
These viii enable inspectors to watch
all that is going on. but the employees
Will never know when they are being
observed, and the fact that an Observ-
ing eye may be upon them at any min
ute is calculated to deter them from
wrongdoing and spur them to their best
efforts. No more thorough system of
espionage was ever devised for any
public edifce in the world.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw on
a recent visit expressed admiration for
the manner in which the lookouts were
being constructed. The fact that such
structures are being erected was I'M
known to all save the inspection de-

postal service.
The officials say no reflection upon
the honesty of employees is intended by
the system. The responsibilities the
government assumes in carrying money
and other valuables through the mails
warrant 1t in taking every precaution.
In fact, the honest employees are said
to welcome the strictest supervision, so
that If any detail Of the business goes
wrong their own acts Will be known in
advance of the discovery of the error.
The first and second floors of the
great building are honeycombed with
the lookouts. The passages run through
stone walls and connect in such way
that an inspector can go from one part
of the structure to another In a dis
tant section of the building in half
the time that one outside the lookouts
could proceed an equal distance. A
system of electric signals will be OPP
Grated in connection, and the course of
a letter or package, from the minute
It is registered until II leaves in a mail

HARVESTING A CANAL.
Thirty Thousand Horse Power to BE
Generated by Chicago Waterway.

Thirty Thousand Horse Power TO BE
Generated by Chicago Waterway.
Plans for putting In harness" the
immense water power of the Chicago
sanitary canal at its termination in
Lockport and Joliet are perfected by
the engineering department of the
drainage board and have received the
approval of the boards engineering
committee, says a Chicago dispatch.
The plans involve an expenditure Of
100000.
In developing the water power of the
sanitary canal the board of drainage
trustees is carrying out a policy that
has been contemplated since the incep-
ton of the great engineering scheme
designed to give Chicago an adequate
supply of pure water. 1t is sequel TO
the successful construction work on
the great drainage channel now con-
Meeting Lake Michigan with the Mis-
sissippi river and the gulf of Mexico.
An extension OF the present channel
for a mile and one-eighth south of the
controlling dam at LOckport is neces-
saTy for the utilization of the plan.
For the extension channel a great
excavation two miles long and 40 feet
wide will have to be made through
hard rock Midway In this two mile
cut an artificial waterfall Will be con-
structed. Here the mammoth hydraulic
and electric machinery Will catch the
rushing waters as they fall. 1t is IN
this fall that the power TO be utilized
resides.
Weight and momentum of the fall
ing waters are the factors that make
the power, which power is to be
caught, as It were, IN It's flight, con-
verified into electrical energy and trans
mitted over wires and through storage
batteries and dynamos for the turning
of giant wheels IN factories or for the
lighting of streets or the lighting and
heating of residences or other build
ings. That is what has been done with
Nagara's mighty power, and that is
what the plans Just completed are to
do with the water power OF Chtcngo's
$45,0O0,OOO drainage canal.
In the development of the power at
LockpoTt the feats of engineering will
duplicate in many respects the harness
ing Of Niagara falls for transmission
OF electric power to sundry points IN

THE BEIRUT AFFAIR.

Missionary Tells of a Previous As
sauIt on Vice Consul MaEelssen.
Miss Alice Barber OF Joliet, ILL.,, who
was a missionary for eighteen years at
Beirut, in Turkey, and is well acquaint-
ed with Vice Consul Magelssen, at
tributes the present difficulty in Beirut
to the lower classes, the outlaws and
foOtpads who infest the city and make
It exceedingly dangerous for foreign
ers at all times, says the New York
Post,
About two years ago." said Miss
Barber, IAN attack was made upon
Mr. Magelssen while he was on his
way from the cape, where the Amer
lean college is located. to the main
part of the city. Three men sprang
from a thicket, knocked him down and
took his watch and chain. He is a
young man of powerful build and was
formerly a football player. AS soon as
he recovered from his surprise he at
tackled his assailants, recovered his
watch and gave all three of the robbers
a severe beating.
"Quite a commotfon was raised at the
time, and the college instructors ap-
pealed to the local authorities for bet
ter protection. AS result police sta
ton was established near there, and
detail of soldiers was stationed in that
locality. In spite of this it became
more dangerous for the Instructors,
and none of them ventured out at night
unless they were armed with stout
walking sticks"

Among the arrivals at New York on

was Miss Reata Winfield, an attractive
southern girl of considerable talent as
a violinist, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser She went to London
last February expecting to meet with
success. The engagements failed, and
she became penniless. She told the fol
lowing story of her experiences in Lon
don:
II took my little violin and went out
to play on the street corners of Lon
don, hoping to secure enough to keep
life in my body. The first penny re-
ceived was given me by colored man.
You can imagine the feelings Of a
southern girl at such d humiliation.
Finally 1 caught severe cold and had
an attack of typhoid fever. l was
cared for in Charing Cross hospital.
When l recovered l secured work at
fl a week in n restaurant. 4 gentle
man who heard my story called the at
tention of Sir Thomas Upton to my
plight, and he came to my assistance.
