OF TWO Evils, the Lesser,

There are other destructive forces
IN nature, and even earthquakes have
rivals. This happened at the time of
the trembler at Charleston, South
Carolina, several years ago. A resident
of the shaken city, while he felt that
his duties required him to remain
there to do what he might for the suf-
ferers, sent his six-year-old son out of
the danger and confusion to the
youngsters grandfather in New York.
Three days after the boys arrival the
Charleston man received this telegram
from his father: "Send us your earth
quake and take back your boy"

is NOTED AS AN AVIATOR
HE IS ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS,
AND Is AS MUCH AN ATTRAc.
TIoN As HIS AIR vESSEL-rWo
FLIGHTS DAILY.

The Bumbaugh airship for the fall
festival is now assured. Charles NJ.
Morgan, chairman of the amusement
committee for the Fall Festival. yester-
day made a contract with G. L. Bum
baugh. of Indianapolis. who made sue
cessful flights each day of the state
fair. to bring his big airship to Rich
mond to exhibit and fly each day Of
the fall festival.
The air ship is lighter-than-air ma
chine. being filled with gas. propelled
by a propeller and steered by rudder.
and in favorable weather conditions
can be handled with perfect ease at the
will of the operator.
Mr.. Bumbaugh will be in Richmond
next Wednesday to consider a proper
location for his tent. The commons on
South Fifteenth street and the COM
mons on South Eighth street ON the
car line have been suggested as the
best locations for the tent. The air
ship will be on exhibition in the tent
each day and night of the fall festival
and a small admission will be charged
to help defray the expenses of the fall
festival in bringing this big attraction
to Richmond.
An Interesting Life.
Mr.. Bumbaugh has had a very inter
esting life. In the early part OF his ca
reer he was high wire walker. put
ting on his act at the street fairs and
various shows, walking a wire across
the streets from five to fifteen stories
above the ground. For years he made
balloon ascensions. descending in par
achutes. He was with Carl Fisher in
the great balloon race in Indianapolis
in which he made the longest distance
made by any balloon. but was disqual-
flied on account Of having to descend
for water. Some time ago Mr.. Bum
baugh made trip in a balloon across
the city of Indianapolis with an auto
mobile attached to the balloon. He
fears absolutely no danger and is al
most as much Of an attraction as his
big airship.
The Fall Festival committee is to be
congratulated on obtaining this orig
inal feature for the Fall Festival. as 1t
places Richmond in the class Of the
and will undoubtedly bring people to
Richmond that have never been here
before.

ALExANDER'S SNAKE.
A Story Of Magic and credulity In the
Olden Days.

A Story Of Magic and credulity In the
Olden Days.
No snake that ever lived won greater
fame for the time than Alexander's.
Lucian tells the story. Apollenius,
master of the magic arts, had many
disciples, among whom was a practic-
ing physician who lived in Abonoti-
chus, a small town ON the shore Of the
Black sea. There Alexander was born
Of humble parentage and imbibed from
the old doctor all that he had learned
from Apollonius ct medicine and mag
ic. He was lad of striking appear
ance, tall, handsome. with fine head
of hair, lustrous brown eyes and a
voice sweet and lfmpid. God grant"
wrote Lucian. who knew him, that l
may never meet with such another.
His coming was wonderful, his dex-
terity matchless. His eagerness for
knowledge, his capacity for learning
and power Of memory We're equally
extraordinary"
Such was the well favored young
peasant who sailed forth from his ma
tive town in search of fame and for
tune. Soon he fell in with one Co.
COMMAS. a shrewd tipster for the races
and somewhat Of Juggler. The two
rogues Joined forces and meandered
about telling fortunes. Arriving at
Pella, they found great number of
huge. harmless snakes which lived in
the houses, played and slept with the
children and destroyed poisonous rats.
Alexander promptly purchased one OF
the largest, veritable monster, so
tame that it would coil about his body
and remain in any desired position.
Then he made a human face for it out
Of linen, painted it ingeniously and
shaped 1t so that the mouth would
open and shut by an arrangement OF
horsehair, letting the forked tongue
shoot In and out at the will of the
master Having no further use for
Coconnas, he either administered poi
son to him or let him die from some
infection and returned with his snake
to his native town. There he declared
himself a prophet and announced that
the god Aescuiapius was about to ap-
pear. The people were credulous. ex-
citable and eager for a new divinity.
When the great day arrived Alexan-
der pretended to discover in puddle
Of water a goose egg which he had
placed there after removing the con-
tents. substituting a small embryo
snake just born and carefully sealing
the shell with wax When the multitude
had gathered he broke the shell and
produced the tiny creature. which in
q few moments grew to be the monster
from Pella by the simple process of
substitution. Thereafter the big snake,
believed to be Aesculapius. led a busy
life. He gave seances. told fortunes in
writing and even spoke freely. with
the aid of the prophets ventriloquial
powers. Alexander grew rich and pow
erful, kept a small army Of retainers
and spies. welded no little influence
over the government even at Rome and
died at ripe old age in the fullness of
his renown. What became of the snake
nobody knows. Probably at the last
the prophet dispatched the faithful
creature to prevent the discovery of his
deception after his death George Har.
