A LUCKY ESCAPE.
Thrilling Experience Of cyeIist on a
Swiss Mountain,

Thrilling Experience Of CyeIist on a
Swiss Mountain.
a DR.. Bach was cycling down the
pass near Goschenen, in Switzerland,
when his brake snapped and the ma
chine darted forward at terrific speed.
At the foot Of the mountain Is a bridge
spanning deep river gorge. The ply
sician tried to guide his flying machine
on the bridge, but the front wheel
struck a side wall, and he was flung
over the parapet. While falling through
the air he caught a chain hanging from
a girder. The momentum of his body,
suddenly arrested, nearly wrenched his
grip loose, but he was a strong man
and kept his hold. While swinging in
midair suspended over the raging river
and unable to improve his perilous
position an automobile came chugging
down the pass. The hapless man
shouted for help, but he could not be
seen from the bridge, and his cries
were drowned by the noise of the mo-
tor and the sound Of the river. A few
minutes after the automobile had pass
ed a carriage drove across the bridge
Again he cried out for help, but in
vain. The awful strain on arms and
fingers was becoming intolerable, and
the doctor was about to drop into the
torrent to an inevitable death when
two peasants came by and saw him
They flung a moose over him and pulled
him up. He tainted and was i'll for a
long time.-Strand Magazine.

They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understand That Term.
"What are volcanoes?'
Nine out Of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer Of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not lively remembrance Of hay
ing learned in their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is a burning mountain, from
the summit Of which are sent out smoke
and fames?" This popular fancy has
been exploded BY scientists, whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is, holes in
the earth's crust. Out Of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating. form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains.
These are, then, the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they ''burning," as we understand the
term. There is no combustion nor
any action we might reasonably call
"burning."
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions are
just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called ''smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
Of condens1ng steam which are formed
on every occasion when an eruption
occurs.
Lastly, the "fames," so called, are
merely the reflection Of the mass OF
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds Of steam above
thus appearing as glowing light. The
friction, too, set up by the motion OF
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating enect.-Pear

STREET LIGHTS.
How 1hroushfares Were Illuminated
In the Seventeenth Century.

~ Vic SSSStisSShAll SStIk0Eys
Lighting the streets of large city
in olden times was a far different
thing from the illumination of our
thoroughfares now. In 1861 the streets
of London were directed to be lighted
with candles or lanterns by every
householder fronting the main road
from nightfall to 8 o'clock, the hour of
going to bed.
In the last year Of King Charles lis
reign one Edward Hening obtained the
right to light the streets with lanterns
placed over every tenth door from 6
o'clock on moonless evenings until
midnight between October and April.
During the reign Of Queen Anne in
July, 11S0. Mr.. Michael Coke intro
duced globular glass lamps with oil
burners instead Of the former glim-
mering lanterns. In 1716 an act was
passed which enjoined every house
holder to furnish a light before his
door from to II o'clock at night, ex-
cept on evenings between the seventh
| night of each moon and the third after
it reached it's full.
In few years company was form
ed to light the street from o'clock
till midnight, each householder who
paid poor rates being required to con-
tribute for this purpose shillings a
year.
Gaslight, at its introduction in the
beginning Of the last century, present
ed such a novel spectacle to the eyes
Of foreign ambassadors that they were
vain enough to imagine that the bril-
liant lamps were a part Of a general
illumination to celebrate their arrival.

AvERTED A DUEL.
The Soft Answer That Was Returned
to the Challenge.

The Soft Answer That Was Returned
to the Challenge.
Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers. in hec
Romance and Realism of the South
ern Gulf Coast" gives an account Of
one Of the last challenges to a duel
which occurred in Louisiana. The af-
fair was between NJ. Marigny, who be-
longed to one Of the oldest families of
Louisiana, and Mr. Humble, sturdy
ex-blacksmith Of Georgia, who had be-
come man Of political consequence.
Mr.. Marigny took offense at some re-
marks of the Georgian and sent him a
challenge The big ex-blacksmith was
nonplused.
Il know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. Il will not fight
him"
You must said his friend. ''No
gentleman can refuse
II am not a gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. II am only a
blacksmith"
But you will be ruined if you do not
fight" urged his friends. You will
have the choice Of weapons, and you
can choose so as to give yourself al
equal chance with your Adversary"
The giant asked time in which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
to NJ. Marigny:
Il accept, and in the exercise Of my
privilege I stipulate that the duel shall
take place in Lake Pontchartrain, in
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"
NJ Marigny was about five feet
eight inches in height and his adver-
sary was seven feet The conceit of
the Georgian so pleased NJ. Marigny,
who could appreciate joke as we'll as
perpetrate one, that he declared him
self satisfied, and the duel did not take
place.

CouIdn't Remember His Star.

As Illustrative of the fits of abstrac

his former manager, Charles Dillon.
Some years after The Bells" had
made Irving famous he CHANGED to
meet Dillon and was outspoken in his
delight.
Dillon looked him over. finally re-
marking that he had no recollection of
him. Irving reminded him of the tour
they had made together and mention

awhile. and, recognition appearing to
dawn upon him, he extended his hand.
Irving? Oh, yes. I remember the
