are wrong until they are found out.
Our idea of a pleasant conversa-

The balloon, however, has assembled
into the sky as high as it has been pos
sible for man to exist. In 1901, Nj.
Berson went up to the record height of
$4,000 feet-almost seven miles-and
nearly 1900 feet above the region of
the highest clouds. The following year
balloon from Strasburg Observatory
reached height of 1900 feet This
balloon was, of course, unoccupied.
OF things more substantial than bal
loon ascensions, the Eifel Tower which
rises 9S4 feet is the highest building
in the world. Mount Everett rises
2S995 feet, the loftiest peak on earth.
It's summit has never and probably
never will be reached by man unless
in an airship. DR.. Workman, of
Worcester, Mass, holds the highest
record for mountain climbing which is
23,993 feet. His wife is close COM
petltor and has the woman's mountain
climbing record for 21,910 feet.
Something was learned of the upper
air currents at the time of the vast
volcanic disturbances jim the Island of
KrakatOa in the East InGIes, seismic
disturbance to which the recent Mont
Pelee eruption was a slight ebullition.
With the final bursting of the noun
tain, hundreds of thousands of tons of
impalpable ashes were discharged
hourly into the heavens, rising to a
height of probably 20 miles, where the
mass took on a dull reddish hue.
Through this phenomenon science dis
covered that at that height a vast
wind constantly RACES at the rate of
200 miles an hour. This fierce air cur
rent swept the ashes of Krakatoa en-
tirely around the globe. -

Rowland Harvey was a gentleman
by profession with refined tastes In
horse flesh, old wines and big game
shooting. These being expensive
things and his worldly possessions
amounting, in American money, to
some fifteen dollars odd, the clothes on
his back and file of unpaid bills, he
looked upon the world with a some
what cynical eye at the time of which
this small adventure Is written.
Mr.. Harvey was lank, muscular and
bronzed. with handsome mustache,
splendid health and a somewhat shiny
suit of clothes.
He was contemplating a new start
in life, dnot wishing to be trammelled
with the possession of unnecessary
property, had determined to dispose
OF his present cash holdings and start
square. With fifteen dollars he could
spend at least one enjoyable evening,
living OH the fat of the land and feast
ing on rare dish or two of which
he had learned in foreign travels-for
good clothes he cared nothing. Care
less of appearance. he had, however,
been man of some parts, and he felt
that his entertainment would be in
complete if a mental diet was not in
Guided in his bill of fare; so it was to
that end, on a drizzly Thursday even
ing, close onto seven o'clock, that he
strolled into secondhand book store
and idly scanned some tattered
volumes of old tales. Most of them
were trash, but at last he found one
which suited his bizarre fancy-a

Suddenly he sat up and rubbed MS

another was Brayford Grange, ano
then there was some mixed Greek anu

His interest was now Thoroughly

These names were connected with the
tale of a famous jewel robbery or the

B0ndsmen Liable.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
very Important decision as to the LA
bility of bondsmen of dispensary con-
stables. The case arose from that of
Wieters, a blind tiger dealer in Char
lesion, who alleged that constables in
making a search of his place assaulted
him. He sued them for damages in
the sum of $40, 600 each and when the
case was called the State, through the
Attorney General, demurred. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court and
the effect Of the decision is to hold the
bondsmen liable in such cases. The
practical outcome will be that the case
will go back to the lower court for trial
and for the assessment of damages if
any be allowed.
