What Is Going On.

The above notes will convey some idea
of what is going on Just at present in
Great Britain and OF the manner in
which the great political issues at stake
will be decided by the nearly 100000 of
registered electors at the polls during the
next twelve days. The average number
of votes cast at a general election is 70
per cent of the entire electOrate-that is
TO say, nearly 5G90.G00

money a sum between $6,0oo,0oo and
100000.
There are 325 craft in the fleet that
lands fish at Boston, worth $4,000
each, or something more than $4,000,
600 in the aggregate. Each Of these
vessels has an annual expense account
of about $4,000, for repairs, sails, rig
ging, gear, bait, ice, supplies and the
like, and this means business to New
England of s4,500,000 strong. The
feet employs between 5000 and 1000
men directly and many others get
work because of it, bringing the total
of men looking to the business for a
living up to near 10000. Counting
three persons as dependent on each OF
these men, it will be seen that a total
of 10000 persons get their bread and
butter from Boston's fishing fleet.

PossUM KILLS 200 CHICKS
New Jersey Farmer Persevered and
Finally Landed Murderer-Hu-
man Thieves Suspected.

Bloomfield, n. J.-Walter Hatfield Of
Brookda1e shot possum which had
eaten 200 of his chickens, valued at
$3.50. 1t had been preying upon the
fowls for months, notwithstanding the
night and day vigilance of Hatfield and
members of his family, who thought
human chicken thieves were at work.
The police also took a hand in the
watching after Hatfield complained to
them of his heavy losses. Their work
went for nothing.
Hatfield got up before daylight to
start to market with load of vege-
tables. He was Harvesting the horses
when he heard great commotion in
the chicken house. Rushing into the
dwelling, he got his gun and went to
the Mace of the disturbance. When he
opened the chicken house door he
found the fowl all awake and uneasy,
hut there was no sign of two-legged
thief. The farmer, who carried Ian
tern. was about to leave the hennery
when in a far corner he noticed what
looked like a big, dark ball. Raising
his gun and taking aim, he fired. Hold
ing his lantern high, ne went to the cor
ner and found he had killed a possum.
| The possum weighed 20 pounds and
was literally rolling in chicken fat.

MAKE QUICK TRIP TO VENUS
William sidis, Harvard Prodigy, says
His Airship Will Do 1t in
Twenty Minutes.

Boston. William Sidis, the 11-year-
cid mathematics prodigy at Harvard,
has not been combining his attentions
solely to the problems Of the fourth
dimension and other equally simple
matters. He has been delvlng into the
mysteries of aerial navigation.
From one of the instructors of the
physics department it is learned that
young Sidis believes he has solved the
problem of navigating the air and that
bv the evolution of his theory it will
be possible to travel from the earth
to t3e planet Venus in 20 minutes.
His plan has to do with the alpha rays
that are given off from radium. These
rays are small particles of matter
which leave the radium with great
force and at the same time do not les
sen the quantity of their force.
Working upon this basis, sidis be,
Iieyes that by attaching a block OF
radium to the stern of his airship the
propelling power will be derived from
the force with which the alpha rays
leave the radium in the same manner
that a skyrocket is propelled through
space.

Goidbeaters' Skin from Six Hundred
Thousand Animals Is Necessary
Says Spencer.

st. Louis, Building balloons

Yet, as Perciva1 Spencer. the hero of
1850 balloon ascents and ESQ para
chute descents, explained few days
ago. it is none the less-ssssstts:4ssesl.
In the first place. said the world
famous aeronaut, godlbeaters skin
is a wonderful gas holder. It is far
better, as well as lighter, than var
nished fabric, india rubber covered
silk, cotton or any other Of the usual
balloon fabrics. Every war balloon
ordered by Great Britain is made OF
this material, while the material itself
is made from a certain portion of the
Intestinal membrane Of an OK or COW,
which would otherwise be wasted.
Thus you have the curious fact that
balloons are built from the waste ma
teriaI of dead cattle.
"a great many cattle have to be
killed to make one balloon, said the
aeronaut Six hundred thousand
oxen, for instance, had to die before
the balloons which my brothers and
myself are making Tor Count Zeppe

wanted"
