SAILING IN AN AlRsAiP.
Many Queer Sensations Visit the Aero
! naut-Eeels No Sense Of
Motion.

j "It II 3 singular fact" says A. r.
Knabenshue, In the st. Louis Globe
,Democrat, that when one is going as
much - IL or 20 miles an hour in an
Airship one has no sensation Of moving
whatever. The air beats in your face -
Hou move along, but it only creates tho
suppression that one is standing still In
b strong breeze.
There are no objects flying past you a.
when you are travelling on the surface Of
HE earth, and as you must keep your
Deyes looking ahead OF you you observe
only distant objects, SO distant because
~ your Nigh point of view that you ap-
proach them apparently 30 slowly you do
not seem to move at all. ! consider this
Dne Of the Queerest sensation In trip
Through the air, and the impression Of
Dcarcsly moving OF Of not moving at all
- 30 strong, even on the most expe-
edenced aeronaut, that 1t is probably
due to this 50 many Of them push their
motor to the extreme limit and it dies
In consequence. When a speed gauge
es invented for an airship 1t will cause
Fewer breakdowns Of motors due to

Premature Burial.

Although premature burial Is ex-
tremely rare, except perhaps on the
battlefield, the possibility Of such an
occurrence cannot be denied. 1t is we'll
known that owing to this possibility,
remote as it is, many otherwise strong
minded persons have lived under the
shadow of great fear and have in
their wills directed payments to be
made to physicians who should be will
ing to run the risk Of homicide to pre-
vent live burial. 1t may safely be said,
however, that the horrors Of the acci-
dent are imaginary rather than real.
II person in state Of trance were
to be buried while life still persisted in
latent state, it is scarcely conceivable
that the victim could awake. The I'M
consciousness Of catalepsy would sim
ply deepen until it became fixed in the
dreamless sleep of death.-British Med

MASSACRE LASTS TWO DAYS
Twelve Persons Are Killed and Fifty
Wounded in Long Riot at
Zhitomir.

st. Petersburg, May 1O.-The report
that there had been massacre of
Jews at Zhitomir, government of Vol
hynia, southwestern Russia, is con-
firmed in dispatch to the Novosti
which says the rioting began May Z
and continued for 48 hours. Orthodox
Christians fell upon the Jews in the
streets. The Jews were armed and
fought their assallants, many being
killed or wounded on both sides.
Private dispatches from Zhitomir
attribute the attack upon the Jews to
articles in M. Kroushevan's paper.
Twelve persons were killed and so
were wounded. On Sunday the Jews
telegraphed to friends In st. Petersburg
to ask the authorities to take strong
measures for their protection and or.
ders to that effect were sent. A renewal
of the fighting was expected Tuesday.
Commenting on this news the Noyosti
remarks upon the coincidence that M.
Kroushevan (the former editor of the
Bessarabyetz Of Kishineff, held to be
responsible for the massacre of 1903 at
that place., had hardly returned to
Kishinef and started the publication
OF a new paper, the Friend, before
Jewish massacres commenced in the
neishborhood.

Tiger Hunting In India.

"Tiger hunting is not, as is generally
supposed, popular sport in India. 1t
is a very expensive business and re-
quires lot Of preparation. In the first
place you must have number Of ma
tves scour the jungle until they find q
deer or animal of some sort that the
tiger has killed. 1t is usual for tiger
to eat part Of his victim, then after he
gets hungry return again. When a
partly eaten animal is found your serv-
ants arrange spring mattress in one
Of the trees, and you lie upon this and
wait till the animal comes to feed, "
says an Indian traveller. "Tiger hunting
can never be done on foot and rarely on
horseback. 1t is usually carried on
from the back of an elephant when the
method Of beating the jungle for tiger
is employed"

! -Icopyright 1so4. by F,rederlek upham Adams:l

So far as any scheme which contem
plates housing thousand, more or less,
persons in a limited area can be q sue |
cess, this one fully meets all require
ments. Those who formerly lived in
wretched dens now are tenants in an
edifice which with the land represents
an expenditure of about $150,0O0. The
death rate has fallen from 80 to less
than 80. There is not a room in the
building which does not open directly
to the street or to an enormous court,
and there is not better ventilated
structure in the world. No room is less
than nine feet high. and the smallest
rooms cover 1903 square feet, or about
10 by IL feet. Most of the apartments
are of two rooms, and the rent aver
ages 81 week.
The building is five stories high and
| Is built around an immense quadrangle
lar court about $50 feet square. This
was designed for a playground, but l
noticed that the children preferred the
| streets. The walls are of red brick,
with stone and terra Gotta trimmings,
| and the architectural effect far eXcels
| that Of the average first class fiat or
| apartment building in American cities.
| Everything in reason that money and
sanitary science can render has been
done, but the building is not popular,
though most Of the rooms are taken,
and it is paying investment from a
financial point.
/ There is distressing sameness about
the quarters When you have looked
at two rooms you have seen all there Is
to see. There Is too much brick and
mortar It bears the aspect Of per-
son. 1t IL thousand times better, no
doubt, than the quarters which were
torn down, and It is vastly superior to
the habitation Of the average laborer,
no matter what his country, but Man
chester will never erect another tene-
ment house on so elaborate scale.
The city is now at work on far diff.
ferent style Of dwellings. They are
not 80 ornate, and they are not so ex-
pensive, but in the opinion Of the high
est civic authorities in the world they
represent the type of the future. On the
edge Of the city the municipality has

den, and there will be parks and play.
grounds, schools and churches and all
Of the ordinary comforts Of normal
existence. This may be too good for q
man who simply works for living
and it is possible that Manchester and
other British cities are assuming more
responsibility than normally attaches
, to municipal governments. I shall moi
! argue this, but it may be set down as
, self evident proposition that crime
poverty and disease flourish where
. houses number the more stories, where
people are crowded into the smallel
: areas and where they are denied con
5 tact with the soil. The great cities o.
England and Scotland have learned THU
lesson and are profting by 1t.

seem to have suddenly convinced many
people that 1t would have been impos-
sible for Rojestvensky to come to
the far east without outside assistance,
which has given sinister tone to the
popular resentment. In the crisis many
eyes are turned toward Great Britain
for assistance. 1t is argued that France
rescued Rojestvensky from absolute
failure to reach the China sea and that
the final aid given to the Russians in
Indo- China amounts to an act Of bellig-
erency, and there are many demands
that Japan invoke the alliance with
Great Britain.

NAMING INDIANS NOT EASY
Native Sioux Describes Laboriousness
Of Deciding on Cognomens
for Tribesmen.

The fact that two OF the most inter-
esting native races of the world are not
decreasing was brought out at the Sat-
Illrday meeting Of the Twentieth Gem
fury club by DR.. Charles II. Eastman, Of
Amherst, Sioux Indian, and Miss VIII
hslmina 8. Balm, who gave an account Of
the Maoris, OF New Zealand, says the
Boston Herald.
Dr.. Eastman told about the work he lie
doing In the naming Of the Sioux Indians
and thus facilitating the recognition OF
Their title to inherited land. II am not
remaining them" he explained, "but SIM
ply emphasizing their names. A little
over year ago the Indian commissioner
sent for me to Washington and told me
the president wanted to see me. In my
anterview with President Roosevelt the
dilaculty which many Of the Indians
have in establishing their right to In
herited property, due to the fact that
the Indians do not have family names.
was discussed. A great many of the
names, moreover, are incomprehensible
anconveniently long. or improper, all
OF which makes it difficult to swear in
court where an Indian belongs or who
his relatives are.
Leaving out the medicine men, the
Indians, SO tar as can find out, are
not hostile to the American government,
except when undue pressure is brought to
bear upon them and they are turned out
OF their home. The Indians like to 60

made great progress under the instruc-
tion m the missionaries zeal, and am
