New Use for Balloons.
Railway Age.

II Is proposed by a German engin-
eer to use balloons for railway pur-
poses. A stationary balloon is fixed
to a slide running along a single
steel rail. This rail is carried up the
side of a steep mountain, The bal
loon is moored by a steel cable to
the rail at height of about 80 feet
above the Ground. The conductor
can cause the balloon to ascend or
descend at will. The lifting power
IS furnished by hydrogen gas, and
the descent Is caused by water pres
sure poured into 4 large tank at the
upper end Of the road.

Bio Iunnns hx Rabbits.

How fast do hares and rabbits run?
Perhaps you have wondered while out
cunning and watched the elusive ami
mails speeding away. According to J..
G. M1lla1s, the length of a hare's stride
is about four feet, while that of rab-
bit is about two feet. Under condi-
tons of fear the hare is said to leap
ten to twelve feet, some authorities
claiming that it can jump bitches ten
to twenty-five feet in width. A hare
can jump upward perpendicularly five
feet. Rabbits can make leaps of six or
seven feet horizontally, but cannot
jump higher than three feet. When
compelled to do so, it is said, rabbits
can swim as well as dogs.-Philadel-

.OvERRULED BY THE COURT
Motion for Directed Verdict in Cotton
Leak Case,

Motion for Directed Verdict in Cotton
Leak Case.
Washington, June Pin the Cot
ton leak. case against former Asso-
ciate Statistician Holmes Judge Stat
ford overruled the motion of Holmes
counsel that the court direct the jury
to acquit on the ground that there Is
no law covering the offense charged.
Judge Stafford based his decision on
the ground that the evidence tends to
support the allegations Of the indict-
ment and that the Indictment is in
accordance with the law.
Attorney Worthington then briefly
outlined the case for the defense, say
ing principally that it would be shown
that the testimony given by Witness
Van Ripper, the chief reliance OF the
government, had been "a tissue of
les" because Mr.. Holmes had never
entered into the conspiracy alleged
to have been formed to give out the
secret information of the department
and had never done so. Furthermore,
1T would be shown that even If he
had given the information as charged
he had not violated any law, because
he had not given out any real infor-
nation, but only an opinion.

OF the mine owners; that the western
Federation Of Miners was going to be
crushed and that within thirty days
something would happen that would
startle tho world. This was about
five weeks before the assassination Of
Governor steunenberg. Orchard, when
confronted by Elliott, declared he had
never seen the man before.
Elliott was put through searching
cross-exanlination by Mr. Hawley. He
said he had never related to his kins-
people, with whom he sometimes
stopped. the details Of his converse
ton with Orchard.
The defense next called to the stand
John M. O'Neill, editor Of the Miners
Magazine. O'Neill said he had been a
miner for twenty-elght years.
You were once member Of the
legislature?" asked Mr.. Da1row.
81 regret to say so, yes, sir, in
1897" replied O'Neill.
The witness declared Meyer and
Haywood had nothing to do with the
magazine. although they occasionally
wrote signed articles. The magazine
Is the official organ Of the Western
Federation of Miners.
O'Neill said he sometimes consulted
Meyer and Haywood or some member
Of the executive board as to what to
say in the magazine. Usually he con-
suited no one, but published the edi-
torials as he wrote them. The wit
ness said he had known Orchard In
Denver. In his office one day Orchard
asked him where Governor Peabody
and General Sherman Bell lived and
said they ought to be bumped off. "
Just at this time the witness wife
snd daughter came In. Orchard made
no further reference to the matter.

A young Englishman being asked at

have made it?'
"Oh, 1t was the cook who made it,"
was her prompt reply.
