It May Be So.

That Worcester aeroplane inventor. Wallace E. Tillinghast, narrates with circumstantial detail. the experiences of himself and two other gentlemen as passengers, in a night trip on his newly perfected airship, that comes under the head of important if true" and will make the wrights sing small. if it doesn't put that million dollar airship trust out of business.
 MT. Tillinghast relates that early in September of this year he perfected the monoplane which he had secretly constructed, and, with two mechanics as passengers, made an ascent at night. He flew from Worcester to New York. and back home by way of Boston, distance of 300 miles. at a speed, for some of the distance. of 12O miles an hour
 An amazing feature of the story is. that when the machine was over Fire island the motor got out of kilter. In order to fix it, the machine was run up to height of 1000 feet. or almost a mile above the earth. the power shut off, and the plane sealed" in midair for forty-five minutes while the me- chanics tinkered the disabled machin- cry and got it into working order.

MET AWFUL DEATH.
Explosion of Cover of skimming Tank
 Kills Waterbury Man.

Irving N. Welton, one or the original stockholders of the Waterbury Rolling Mills company, which started operations about two and a half years ago, was instantly killed about 6.3O o'clock Tuesday morning in the east ing room of the company's plant in the hollow between the Bunker Hill chapel and Brookside home, as the re- suit of an explosion caused by the dripping of molten metal into a skim ming tank. The explosion threw the sheet iron cover off the pot. which struck MT. Welton under the chin and hurled him into the air distance of nearly ten feet.
 The skimming tank is a new device which the company is trying out, by means of which the dross and other matter that would ordinarily be wasted may be reclaimed. MT. Welton went to work as usual about 5.9O o'oclock and about an hour later was engaged in removing pot of metal preparatory to pouring it. A crack in the crucible allowed the metal to splash into the skimming tank, which is filled with water. Instantly came the explosion. hurling the cover in the air.-Waterbury American.
