his hearers and given in Italisn,
served as a fatterlng introduction to

The quality Of this voice In serious
emotion was further tested in the

numbers, Arabian Romance and I wo
Grenadiers gave rein to versatility
which was equal TO all demands.

SCIENTIST PLANS NEW AiRsHlP
Philadelphia Would Use cigar-Shaped
Bag with Boat Attachment.

Philadelphia, Pap. CaledoR Cam
eron, well-known artist and scientist
OF this city, has an invention which
he thinks will revolutionize the pres
ent methods of ballooning. He has
not patented it, as he does not de-
sire any pecuniary gain.
In place of the gas bag. of circu-
lar form now used, he would have the
cigar shaped form uesd in the dirig-
ible type of airship. He would substi-
tute large and seaworthy boat of
light material for the wicker basket
used to-day, which, he claims, is I'M
seaSorthy and a positive danger to
!. all aeronauts in case of an unavoid-
able descent into water. He plans
to have this boat guided by the man
taking the trip in it, by means of an
immense pair of oars which would
be used on the air exactly as oars are
used in water. He claims that
thr ugh such an arrangement man
can travel through the air as he can
on water. He has manufactured
small model and tested it with re-
suits, he says, that prove the practi-
cab,lity of his scheme
The great trouble has BEEN" he
saic, that men have rushed into this
ides. with only the craze to go up,
to get off the earth. From the fact
that simplicity has always been the
most successful, it Immediately struck
me that we men should be able to
travel in the air by method similar
to that employed on water. The only
difference is that we must add some
substance to our air travelling craft
that will maintain position of height
as the water does the ship.
THE modern aeronaut," he con-
tinued, lis always in danger of his
life from drowning in water-my idea.
besides making such an event impos-
sible, provides a human method of
moving power and an ability to cut
through the air currents or perhaps
even more successfully against them.
l know this thing to be practical, for
/ have tried it on small scale with
great degree of success"

WORLDS DEEPEST SHAFTS.
Three Of Them in the Copper Coun.
try Of Michigan.

Marquette. Mich.-The Michigan
copper country possesses the worlds
three deepest vertical mining shafts.
The deepest of these is No. at the
north Tamarack property, its meas
urements being $500 feet. To the
south at a distance of 1000 feet is the
No. shaft of the same company.
This ranks as the second deepest YER
tical shaft on the globe, its measure
ments being $3.50 feet from the collar
to the bottom level.
Second only TO these great openings
is the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet
G. Hecla company, which is down
1900 feet and in which the copper
lo.e was not encountered until
depth of 1900 feet had been attained.
The deepest incline shaft in the world
is the No. of the Calumet & Hecla.
This shaft itself from the collar to
the lowest level is sunk on the plane
of the lode for distance of 8,1OO
feet, while from drift at the bottom
winze extends downward 100 feet
to the boundary of the property, CIV
ing a measurement OF $500 feet from
surface, No. shaft passes by the
Red Jacket shaft at the fifty-sixth
level

RAINMAkER TO GET $4,000.
c. M. Hatfield Meets with Success IN
Alaska.


Dawson, Alaska-If C. NJ. Hatfield,
the rainmaker. causes enough rain to
fall to keep the suice boxes full and
make the seasons mining profitable,
he will receive $4,000 from the Yu-
kon district.
Mr.. Hatfield has chosen King Solo
mons Dome as the most advantageous
point for his operations. This is the
highest elevation IN the district and
at the head of the principal creeks.
He has now been at work for nearly
three weeks. and rain has been re-
ported from some point in the district
every day.
OF the $4,000 which is to be paid
Mr.. Hatfield, one-half has been sub
scribed by the Yukon council and the
balance by prominent miners. A
committee has been appointed to de-
eide whether or not Hatfield earns his
money, George T. Coffee being the
referee. The only visible part of
Hatfield's work is a tower. He makes
a mysterious inspection of it every
day by means OF ladder. Hatfield
does not claim to make the rain. He
says he attracts and precipitates the
moisture by means of electric vibra-
ton, assisted by chemicals.

TROUBLE HAUNTs A FAMILY.
All Kinds of Mlsfortunes Are Visited
Upon Iowa People.

Webster City, lahore misfor-
tunes have been visited upon the un-
fortunate Emmons family, which
holds the Iowa Record for hard luck.
The two and one-half year old daugh-
ter of Willis Emmons lies near death
from poisoning. having swallowed sew
eral ounces of furniture polish. George
Emmons is still in a precarious con-
dition as the result of an attack
made upon him a few nights ago by
hold-up men.
Recently Mrs. George Emmons, Sr.,
while cleaning furniture with gaso-
lire. struck match. The fluid ig-
nited and she suffered terribly from
the accident.
Just prior to this one of her sons
fell from a tree and broke his arm.
Another son, while sitting on the
porch in a thunderstorm. was struck
by bolt of lightning. A large piece
of tree 80 feet away was torn off
and hurled through the air, striking
him on the head.
Still another son. playing about a
horse, was kicked in the head by the
animal and sustained fractured

Sheds Skin Annually.

Helera, Mont-John II. Price. q
mine superintendent, is shedding his
skin, says a Philipsburg special. 1t
Is very peculiar piece of natures
work, the cause of which the medi-
cal profession has SO far been unable
to explain. The shedding OF the skin
of his entire body is complete. includ-
ing the nails on his fingers and toes.
and the process of shedding covers
a period OF from three to five days.
This has occurred annually for 80
years. At the approach of the she'd
ding period Mr.. Price becomes quite
Ill, hss high fever, and the skin over
his entire body apparently dries up.

Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world. and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless invsn-
tion provides innocuous motive power
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition OF carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and. worst of all,
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that sci
ence can improve motors, he declares
that it is impossible for it to burn pc
troll and render the resulting ga3es
fnnocuous.

BUSINESS WOMAN AT 70.
Mrs. Warren, Of California, Takes
Little Run Down to Maine.

Norway, Me.-The sprightliness OF
70-year-old Mrs. Rebecca Warren, OF
California. who is here on a visit to
the home of her childhood days, puts
Norways old ladies' to shame. Mrs.
Warren has amassed fortune and
is still in active business life.
Mrs. Warren married in Chicago
and went with her husband to Cali.
fornia when two years later she be-
came a widow. She opened a lodging
house in San Francisco and ran it for
IL months, when the house was de-
stroyed by fire. leaving her penniless,
for she had carried no insurance.
She borrowed money from friends,
and opened another house for dodgers,
and when II was running well, she
sold out her interests in it for $4,000.
This suggested a scheme to her, and
she entered regularly into the bust
ness of renting houses and filling them
with roomers and then selling out.
At the end of few years she had
$4,000 in bank. Her next success
full venture was as whole buyer
and shipper of fruits. 1t was Mrs.
Warren who sent to eastern markets
the first consignment of navel or
anges.
