Dumont,n Latest Trlumph.

The hero-worshipping heart of the American girl in Paris Is filled with delight because Santos-Dumont has come up trumps by winning the Arch deacon prize for the heavier -than-air principle steetable- balloon. The fash ionable world turned out in its thou sands to wish him luck. The ladies wore their most beautiful dresses, and the scene looked more like an after noon reception than sporting event After two 9aIse starts the machine rose in the air like bird and travel led for a distance of over seventy wards, Then 1t was seen to stop and l the crowds, who had collected to see the experiment, chcered frantically, thinking that the aeronant was about to return, but after a short pause the
 Bird of Prey" came down. In the descent some parts of the machine were
 broken owing, M. Dumont says to
 the fact that he has not yet got ms steering gear completely under con trol. M. Santos-Dumont is Xery ex- cited over his success and says that he is sure that after few more trials he will be able to do as he wishes with the machine. He was given a very en- thusiastic reception after the event, and he was carried off In triumph. This is the. second prize won by M. Dumont, he having won the Deutsch prize.
 In an interview he has declared that he believes his entire success in his latest experiment Is du to his having varnishd the canvas or his wings. He says:
 'By making my wings impenetrable to the air, can greatly reduce their surface. and I am convinced that when I shall have perfected this ma chine I can reproduce 1t in much small CT proportions. so that the day is not far distant when everybody can have a flying machine, and it will be no
 more trouble to stable than an auto mobile. Indeed, the seroplane will be- come to the dirigeable balloon what the bicycle is to the motor car. Ten years from now the air will be full of people flying about just as ten years ago the roads wer full of people on bicycles Airships will be much cheap CT than automobiles and will conse- quently be within the reach of more peoples purses"

Princess Margaret HomesicIE

Stockholm, November 17-Pity a poor princess who leaves her bright happy English home for a dull Swedish Court! The young Duchess of Skane, who was Princess Margaret of Connaught, finds life at Stockholm such a contrast to life in England that she is quite i'll with dephession and homesickness.
 She misses the round gaiety and sport which she enjoyed at home, and chafes at the inactivity she is condemned to in a court where the ladies are old-fash- toned and dowdy, ana she has no op- portunity evcen to wear the prettiest frocks of her trousseau. The Prin- cess depression was noticed in England recently when she v1sIied her parents. who are somewhat anxious about her

r;onvset Rrovea a Hero.

By an act of heroism, an escaped convict named Francois Pfvet has ob- tained the practical remission of his life sentence for murder.
 Pivet, who had managed to evade re- capture for a long time. was in Nan tes when he witnessed an exciting scene. A madaman was firing at peo- pie in the street from 1 window of hia house, which he had barricaded, and had wounded several. Pivet bravely ran forward, climbed up to the window and. wrenched the gun out of the maniac's hand.
 While Plvet was being congratulated by the Mayo of Nantes for his brave ry, a policeman recognized him as the escaped convict and arrested him.
 Pivet was brought before the Tribu- nal, where he was acclaimed as a hero by the public, who demanded his rO- lease.
 In consideration of his bravery, Pivet was sentenced to a months imprison- ment Instead of being sent back to end his life in jail,

 The ''Ville de Paris" which has been built according to plans dwan up by M. Sgroof, and the late Colonel Renard, is three times as large as the celebrat- ed Lebaudy "Jaune" and measures 1S6 feet in length, and thrty-4one feet maximum diameter, with capacity of nearly 4,000 cubic yards. The 60-horse power motor Is of German make and is extremely heavy, It has curious saul sage like protuberances which are in- tended to give the balloon stability, but they show tendency to overweight with the result that the balloon is likely under certain circumstances, to bend in the middle and thus bring the motor in dangerous proximity to the gas chambers
 Out-Hydes Hyde.
 A story of brutal torture and mur- der has been disclosed at the Paris AsSize Courts. Etienne Hubert was brought up on trial for murdering a woman named Madame vilessek. This woman had been well brought Up and was of a good family, but after her husbands death, she was obliged to go out and work for her living. She | found place as cashier in restau- rant. Here she met the prisoner, who was so objectionable in his behavior to the women servants of the estab- lishment, that Madame Viiessek com- plained and he was dismissed.
 ] The brute then commenced a series lof annoyances. He first sent through the post to Madame vilessek numbers of vile postcards. Then he had sent to the re@Rurant where she was working -F- of koE fva cradles and so on. Not satisfied with this he telephoned to numbers of doc- tors asking them to go round to see the lady cashier, and shortly after wards ordered several coffins to be de- livered at the restaurant; thereby

Nevv Cure Tor Burns.

An instantaneous cure for burns has accidentally discovered fin Picric acid. pr, Thierry one of the surgeons at the Charity Hospital here, whose hands were impregnated with solution or this acid which he used as an antisep- tic, dropped a burning match on hiS hand and was astonished at feeling no pain. The same phenomenon occurred when some hot sealing wax fell upon his hand
 This gave him a new idea, and he commenced a series of experiments In the treatment of burns with satu- rated solution of picric acid.
 Dr. Thierry found that the acid caused burns to cease from being pain- ful as soon as applied, and that 1t causes the injured flesh to heal with marvellous rapidity. It also prevents the formation of blisters. and the cure Is complete in four or five days.
 The yellow stain left by picric acid may be removed by washing with bOrio acid.
 Many French foundries, where burns are frequently incurred by the employ es, now keep barrels of water in which one pound of picric acid is dissolved for use in cases of burning.

After smuggIers.

AAASE S1A~BBACEAs Smuggling on a wholesale scale is being dealt with by the courts at Susa. Piedmont. Thirty-five persons have been arrested and more are concerned in the offences against the Italian revenue.
 Great quantities of silks and fancy articles reaching the railroad depot at Modane, on the Italian side of the frontier, led to the discovery that most of 1t was contraband merchandise The goods it appeared were taken from the trains on the French side of the frontier and conveyed by devious routes to the Mont Cenis tunnel, thus evading the customs. Near the tunnel the engineers Of freight trains, who were in the plot, slackened speed while the cases of smuggled goods were quietly placed on the open wagons The duty lost to the revenue in this way amounted to a huge sum.
