LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS
BALLOONIsT IN AIR
Hurled TO His Death at a Review
of italian Troops.
VICTIM DROPPED 1900 FEET
Victor Emmanuel, Queen Helena and
$4,000 Troops Watch in Horror
as Lieutenant Falls - Military
Celebrations Stopped.

Rome, Italy.-A military balloon,
1900 feet in the air, ascending at q
royal review in Rome before the soy
ereigns of Italy and an army of
troops, was struck by lightning and
hurled burning to the earth with its
occupant, Lieutenant Olivelli. The
aeronaut was fatally hurt and soon
died in a hospital.
This occurred on the occasion of
the festival of the Italian constitu-
ton in the Campo Farnesina at 10
o'clock a. m. King Victor Emmanuel
and Queen Helena reviewed troops of
all arms of the garrison of Rome,
numbering $4,000 men.
Afterward the sovereigns inaugu-
rated the international rifle match,
which takes place every five years,
with large attendance of good shots
from Italy and foreign countries
. Then the King and Queen reviewed
parade of cyclists of the bersaglieri
and large number of volunteer
cyclists.
1t was twenty minutes past II.
The sky was the color of lead, threat
ening severe tempest over the
shooting ground. In the air, at
height of 400 metres, was a balloon
of the military engineer corps,
manned by very well known and
esteemed captain of engineers named
Olivelli
Unexpectedly a bolt of lightning
darted from the clouds and struck
the balloon, setting fire to it. A cry
at once arose from the crowd on the
shooting ground, which numbered
nearly 100000 persons. The basket
Of the balloon fell precipitately with
whirling motion in space until it
struck the ground.
The volunteer cyclists ran in all
haste to the spot and found OlivelIi
unconscious, with his legs entangled
in the ropes of the basket. A doctor
who ran to the spot examined Olivelli
and said that his spinal column had
been broken.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena witnessed the accident, and
the King at once sent his own auto
mobile, in which the dying man was
placed and taken to the hospital.
The King followed in another auto
mobile and went to the bedside of
Olivelli, who recognized him. 1t was
a very moving and affecting scene.
The King spoke to him very affection
ately. The accident caused a great
sensation in the city.
Olivelli was a native of Monte
Pulciano. He was a tall, handsome
man, thirty-three years old. He
leaves young widow
Olivelli died at twenty minutes
past 2, and the King at once an
nounced that he would not attend
any more of the military events
planned for the day, and these we're
at once suspended and the illumina-
ton of the girandola was counter
manded.

500 years old, and has been used for

the ''Pudsey spoon" given by Henry

in which he was concealed in Sir
Ralph's house after the Battle of
Hexam. This spoon has the pear

metal spoons were used in Biblical
days, for in Exodus the Lord tells
Moses to make spoons of gold for
use in the Tabernacle, and to-day
there are to be seen in the British
Museum spoons which certainly were
used in the early days of Christianity,
besides others found in the ruins of
Pompeii and Hercylaneum.

Should mohair be spouged before.
oiittino ATTNM I II

All wooden goods, except some of
the very sheer novelty weaves. should
be sponged before cutting. There
are two reasons for doing this. One
is that unless the material has been
sponged it will be unsafe to use any
moisture in pressing the seams. The
other reason is that cloth that has
been sponsed is not likely to spot
should one be caught in, a shower.
If there is any doubt whether the
material will permit sponging,. try
the process on one corner or : small
piece, to note the effect.

WHAT WE OWE THE TOWN.

A man is sdue a great deal to the
community in which he lives.
= If he has received benefit of any
kind from his neighbors. from GER
tain advantages which the town or
his location gives him, from climate
or opportunity to gain wealth he
owes a certain very large response
to the people, his town and his State
for any of these advantages The
man who accepts all these blessings,
as an oyster does. some passing lit
tie denizen. of its bed, or takes them
up as sponge does water without
giving back any returns, is just so
much of an oyster or a sponge on
the community.
1t is therefore fitting that every
man should give some of his energy
his time, his thought and his money
to the place in which he lives as an
honest and thankful return for bene-
fit received. And if his receipts have
been large. his responsibility is that
much greater and he owes just that
much more
What a pitiiable object is the man
who accepts all he can get and is
known by all his neighbors by such
names as hard fisted," "skinfiint,"
"sponger." and what an honor to
himself and the community is that

HABIT OF FAULTFTNDING.

Faultfinders are the most nIiser-

to see the beautiful and good because
they are not looking for that. They
look only to find fault and criticize.
and find only what they look for.

covers this matter beautifully:
Some one has said We are saved
by our admirations. Our characters
are entirely nodded by our ideals.
The man who holds an admiration
