SUCCESSFUL AIRSHIP.
Wonderful Work Of M. Santos-Du.
mont's New Aeroplane.

Paris.-M. Santos Dumont made an
other series OF experiments with his
perfected aeroplane, the Bird of Prey,
in the Bois de Boulogne Monday At
one time he skinned along at a height
OF fifteen feet and at thirty miles an
hour for 215 metres. when fear that
his steering propeller would strike the
cheering people forced him to descend.
The right wing of his machine was
slightly damaged.
Some aeronauts present declared
the aeroplane would soon fly for
miles. The next trial will take place
ot Longchamps race course, from
from which the crowd can be ex-
cluded
The principal change in the areo-
plane Monday was that the side rud-
der reins were fastened to the shout
der of NJ. Santos-Dumont, who oper.
ated them with movements of the
body. He was thus completely sue
cessful In preventing the rolling mo-
tion Of the machine.

High over Mont Blanc.

Milan.-Details IF the trip OF the
balloon Milano, which left the grounds
of the international exposition last
Sunday arrived at Aix-Les-Bains, after
having travelled over Mount Blanc,
have been received. The balloon trav-
eled northward over Mont Blanc, and
as it progressed the air grew colder
and colder. Below them the travellers
could gee nothing except an extensive
field Of snow, broken by sharp peaks
and dotted with frozen Alpine lake-.
The highest altitude reached was 20,-
500 feet. The rarifed atmosphere
made 1t necessary for the men to re-
sort to their supply of oxygen to keep
alive.

poor countrymen share his good for
tune. His plan is not to give cash.
but private homes and lands for the
poor, and equip them so they can earn
a living at their trades or on planta-

Phiiadelphia.-The National Con
gress on Uniform Divorce Laws In
session In this city Tuesday adopted
about one-third of the proposed uni
form bill as drafted by the commit
tees appointed at the meeting held In
Washington nine months ago.
The portions adopted include seven
causes under which annullment of mar
riages may be obtained and six causes
for absolute divorce. They are inhdel.
ity. felony. biEamy. desertion. habitual
drunkenness and intolcrable cruelty.
Delegates from twenty.sevcn states

sentatives of all Protestant denomina.
tions, who attended the International
conference on marriage, together with
a Catholic prelate, Bishop Stanley OF
North Dakota. attended the sessions.
which were presided over by Governor
Pennypacker.
The important changes In the bill
are the striking out OF all references
to proceedings and practice, leaving
the questions for the various loEisla-
tive bodies TO pass upon. The commit
tee decided that so long as open hear
ings are held and the laws provide
for direct service on the respondent
and fix punishment for collusion, the
measure need not conform 10 any
fixed rule. The causes for which d.
vorce can be granted are inndelity.
bigamy, desertlon, habitual
and iutolerable cruelty,

tions there was little opposition to any
OF these provisions. but In the list OF

FIRE AND AIR.

The Ancients Recognized the Inti-
mate Relations Between Them
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized. seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The expert
ment of burning Il candle In closed
vessel. now so familiar to every school
boy, is Il very old one. and the influ-
ence of Il blast of air on furnace had
been probably noticed from very re-
mote Period. by some it was affirmed
to be the food of fire. while by others
the same belief was embodied in the
phrase. Air nourishes fire"
Again. it was long ago observed that
inter, Il substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers of the past. could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that. since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances reScmbled each 9th
or in composition. According to Rob
crt Boyle, the air contained volatile
inter" while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile. crude and windy
spirit, uAA tuAliIcI anu
were supposed to be due TO the pres
cnce of minute particles of this inter
diffused through air.
The important bearing of such obSer-
vationS is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which Is one of the chief conStitu-
ents of air and the one to which it
owes its power of supporting combuS
ton, also forms the largest elementary
constituent OF inter and is likewise the
source of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car
dan, philosopher who lived during
the sixteenth century, in noticing the
increase in weight that lead undergoes
when heated in air, attributed it to the
gas in the air, which feeds fame and
which rekindles q body presenting an
ignited point.

OLD ROMAN WAYS.

Beauty Baths, Perfumes, Toilets and
Cruelty OF the Women.
Women OF ancient, luxurious Rome
used to eat parsley us Il mouth cleanser.
Honey boiled i'll wine and aniSeed was
also sweetener of the breath, and
pastils of myrtle were employed for the
same purpose. Silver tongS and knives
were employed In caring for the nails.
No woman of social eminence cut her
own finger nails. Those who had not
rkilled slaves employed BARRIERS. Per
lection in these respects was one of the
thirty beauties attributed to Helen Of
Troy. Great pains were bestowed on
the feet, for it was considered that the
breeding was betrayed by them as cas-
ily'as by the hands. They were always
much III evidence, the sandals worn not
hiding them. Long, tapering fingers
were highly priced. Various kinds Of
herb de@Octi0nS were employed to beau
tify tie fingers. Pliny gives recipes for
removing any undesired substances
from the nails.
Asses milk contributed to the white
ness of the womens skin. 1t was some
times poured into the bath and the
whole body layed in it, and sometimes
the hands and face were sponged with
it from a silver basin, the soft linen
towel completing the process. The hair
was delicately scented, and all kinds of
washes and burnishers We're applied to
It. 1t took many slaves to bring the
treSSeS into the classic bands or high
pyramids which were the fashion at
various times. Perfumes were not only
applied 70 hair, hands, clothes and the
person generally, but pervaded the
rooms. which were hung with garlands
and decorated with blooms of many
kinds. The dresses of Roman matrons
Were made brilliant with various proc
esscs Of pressing and smoothing ma
