A solid gold cigarette box bearing

BALDWIN CLAIMS GREAT
 THINGS FOR HIS AIR MACHINE
adv-7t

Washington, D. C.. July 27.-If Cap tain Thomas s. Baldwin succeeds in fulfilling all of the requirements of the government in the trial flights of his military dirigible balloon at Fort Meyer. he will receive ss,750. while Count Zeppelin will receive $5O0,00 from the German government if all the requirements are fulfilled by his airship.
 The latter machine Is twenty five times as large as Captain BaIdwin's dirigible. Yet. Captain Baldwin con- tends that in the aeronaut which he will build for the army he has incor- porated new ideas which will be even tuaily adopted by other nations in the construction of dirigibles. f These new features are embodied in the Gas En- velope of Captain Baldwin's machine which differs widely from the Zeppe- lin, the French dtrigible, and the Brit ish military dirigible. By1i his own process of vulcanizing rubber, Captain Baldwin claims to have secured a ma terial that will stand a strain of 95 pounds to the inch strip and which is not affected by either heat or cold. In addition, there is practically no elas- ticity to a gas bag made of this ma terial, thus making a rigid balloon without the use of a frame Midway between the ends of the gas baR which is slightly over 90 feet long. is a balloonet 25 feet long into which air can be pumped to counterbalance the alterations in bulk due to changes in atmospheric pressure or contraction of the gas due to heat or cold A window" permits the aeronaut to look within the gas envelope.
 The car or frame work of Captain Baldwin's airship is suspended from the envelope bv means of square mesh netting which is the creation of Captain Baldwin. The Nulli Secundas the British army dirigible, has a can vas casing to which the car is sus- pended, while Count Zeppelin has an aluminium envelope. entirely surround ing the numerous balloons which give buoyancy to his ship. Although the capacity of Captain Baldwin's gas bag Is less than one-fourth that of the British dirigible. its lifting capacity is nearly as great

 Murray is one of the happiest men on earth His humor Is sincere. He Is glad he does not have limbs that are racked with rheumatism. To the man Rlum with breeding over Ill fate, Mur- rav'a magnetic, uplifting conversation always puts things in more cheerful light.
 Recently this man started giving lectures in small towns. He appears in tights showing the arms extending just below the elbows and the legs just below the knees, then proceeds to dress after applying his artificial members. Fully attired he can run and even dance a bit and swings along the street with careless grace. Knives, forks, spoons, matches, hooks, pens or the like are easily slipped into openings pro- vided' in the wooden wrists, which prac- tice has enabled him to govern aecu- rateiy. The hooks, handy in dressing, are used more than any of the other attachments.
 Murrays says that in the Al years of his life he has never taken a drink, but he chews tobacco incessantly He seldom smokes. disliking to handle fire. He tells an interesting story of his life, which follows in part:
 Like every one else, l learned the benefit of my blessings only after lost them. In the big blizzard that swept some of the Northern States and Man itoba on January 12, 1888, there were many pitiful deaths among teachers. school children and settlers. In oma- ha, a school teacher named Miss Free man lost her four limbs just as I did. When the roof was blown from over the heads of the children huddled in- side the school house she had the pres ence of mind to tie the children togeth- CT instead of turning them out to seek their homes separately. That would have been sure death.
 After fastening them in pairs she connected all with strips torn from her underskirts and started the line. with the oldest in the lead, to the nearest home. half mile distaDa. She brought up the rear and picked up some that fell. A Dakota school master sent his pupils to their death in the storm and remained himself by the fire. keeping comfortably warm burning seats and flooring

 Myalism is an invention for over coming Obi. The supporters of this faith claim it to be a disenchantment of the spell of obL Wherever they can discover a man with the Obi spell over him, they offer. for a price, to remove 1t. Sometimes. if the negro's faith in Myal happens to be stronger than his belief in Obi the disenchantment does take place. But there are only a com paratively few who believe that Myal Is stronger than Obi, so the larger pro- portion of the obi spells are never cast of.
 The maroons of the island are one of It's most interesting classes of people. They are the descendants of the slaves which were held by the Spanish be- fore England took possession of the is- land. They look down with supreme contempt upon the other negroes of the island. and to this day enjoy certain other inhabitants. A half dozen times since the British occupation they have revolted from British authority, and by carrying on bushwhacking war fare they were at last able to wrest from Britain the concessions which they now enjoy. It was only through the use of bloodhounds that the Ma

 The negro population of the island is rapidly growing. Since 1861 1t has ap- proximateiy doubled. The annual num- Der of births in the island is about 10,- 900 more than the number of deaths. The birth rate is upwards of 3s per thousand year. The children are brought up indifferently. though ef- forts are being made to reach them all with a Fundamental education. The white women of the island have several organizations whose aim Is to uplift the negro children. They are taught home- ly arts. such as making of fancy work and marmalade, and in other ways are better fitted for earning a livelihood.
 The white people and the negroes get along very well together. The av- craze Jamaican negro will not intruds his presence where 1t Is objectionable. and being we'll behaved as a rule, there is no real race friction, and everybody seems happy and contented.

THIS MAN HAD SOUNDS,
 BUT NOT LIKE A TEN-SPOT

Now Fred Allen. as all the world knows, is a negro, black as most and very tall. He has bunch of bangs in which he always keeps a short bone comb and he wears a towel about his neck. the loose ends trailing gracefully over his shoulders like a boa.
 Fred is not averse to foolish water and Saturday night he bought some But the remarkable thing about him Is his belkshaped mouth and the strength of his lungs. Fred filled up on booze and made a stab at navigat ing Dexter avenue. He lid fairly well until he reached the beauty spot where the fountain Is playing, ks shook his hand to the water in a friendly way and then said; Hello, saftie, I don't need you in my business" Getting no answer he called out very loud Then he caught hold of the iron railing braced his feet well apart, threw back his head, and howled.
 Policeman Canty heard the ghouIIsh scream and crossed himself. then tip toed to where Fred waa teetering against the fence and took him in. Yesterday evening in police court AL herman Lave was doing the honors. told Fred to make a sound like a ten spot, since he was so good with his voice. but Fred, after a vain attempt, gave 1t up.

The rain is expected to be q gentle one if it materializes at all The temperature will not be discussed further, every bit of energy is needed to endure its rayages. The entire body responds to it's overtures with most life like equivalent of tears and 1t Is believed that even the brain it. self furnishes It's trickling quota of warm appeal for more humane treat ment.
 Humidity presided at the weather exercises yesterday and with It's sub ordinates rain and sunshine assailed the people in a manner which caused them to think of the primevaf dug out and the cave dwelling of the aborigines with intensified longing. The day was certainly not conducive to the greatest happiness of the citizens.

 Rain fell in every one of the cot ton States but only at a few widely separated places was 1t heavy. The fall ranged between 0.04 and O.46 inches.

HOW To KEEP COOL.

T have not felt the heat this year, although everybody complains about the hot summer This may be partly attrib- uted to the fact that I do not go out looking for breezes, thirst quenchers, and trouble in general, and then come home tired.
