The First Aviator.

Was Harold, the last of the Saxon
kings, our first aviator? This is
point seriously maintained by ancient
biographers of the Saxon king, who
persisted in the battle Of Hastings
In the course of an article in the
Windsor Magazine writer recalls a
tradition which cannot, of course, be
either disputed or disproved today,
but was of sufficient interest to be
retold even by the poet Milton in his
History of the Anglo-Saxons," where
the poet-historian says: Harold was.
in his youth, strangely aspiring, had
made and fitted wings to his hands
and feet; with these on the top of
tower, spread out to gather air, he
flew more than furlong; but the
wind being too high, came futtering

yet so conceited Of his art, that he
attributed the cause of his fall to the

he forgot to make to his hinder parts.

OUTDOOR LAMPS LIGHT INSIDE
Found Advisable to illuminate Iowa
Powder Mazagine by Arc Lamp
Through Window.

Is 1t practical to do indoor lighting
with outdoor lamps? The suggestion
sounds almost like paradox and yet
is not that what we universally do in
the daytime when We get our indoor
illumination from the outdoor sun?
Were we not spoiled by the advances
made in artificial lighting by means of
lamps placed in all sorts of indoor To-
cations, the idea of leaving the lamps
out of doors might not seem so pre-
posterous, says Popular Electricity.
1t is unusual, to be sure, and yet
there are occasions where this is not
only practical but advisable. One of
these was found some years ago in

Miss Jane Adams, the founder OF

st. Louis, and, according to veracious
chroniclers was visited by an enter

Frye he remarked that 1t reminded
him of an experience of his own year
or two ago. He was returning to

most Fatal Adventure in
- - india.

Perhaps no mans life was ever
saved to him by more curious cir
cumstance than that attending the ex.
perience Of a captain of the Bengal
lancers. He had been on q visit to q
civilian friend in Rajputana and went
out for a walk in the country about
sunset.
After going four or five miles he
found himself in narrow path on
the side of steep hill. The path
was a mere ledge in the rock, with a
deep chasm on one side and a wall
Of solid rock on the other. It was
not a pleasant place in which to
come face to face with a big tiger:
but that was just what happened to
the captain.
It was too late to withdraw, so he
determined to brave it out. The ami
NAL had evidently been asleep; for
it continued for a few moments to
lick itself into full wakefulness. The
captain stood still, with his eyes fixed
on the beast. Presently the tiger
took a few steps forward and made a
dash at him. Luckily it's teeth seized
him by the flap of the coat, just over
the breast, so that he was not hurt
by the blow.
Then the captain had a chance to
appreciate the feelings of a mouse
when it is shaken by a cat. The IT,
ger shook him till his senses left
him. Perhaps it was as we'll they did
leave him, for the beast held him over
the deep chasm and a fall would
have been as fatal as the animals
onslaught.
When the captain recovered con-
seriousness, few minutes later, he
found himself lying fiat on his back,
with his feet dangling over the .preci-
pice. He opened his eyes, only to see
the sky above him. He dared not
move, for the tiger might be close at
his elbow. So he shut his eyes and
remained motionless.
Then he thought he heard strange
noise at little distance, a sound as
of somebody sneezing. His first
thought was that some one had come
to the rescue and beaten the tiger of,
but this was proved to be wrong by
low, disagreeable, tigerish growls
mingled with the sneezing.
He turned slowly. He could hardly
believe his eyes. There was the tiger
Sinking of with his tail between his
legs and sneezing violently as he
went, his face distorted by most pite
Gus grimaces.
The truth then dawned upon the sol.
der. In shaking him the tiger had
caused his snuffbox to fly open out of
his waistcoat pocket and had received
the contents full in the face.

Five hundred years ago John Ball,

he saw "the great treading down the

HEARS THROUGH HIS FINGERS
Telegraph Operator Valuable Man
at His Instrument, Though Com
pletely Deaf.

!. Peter A. Foley of Portland, Me-, IL
a telegraph operator, though totally
deaf.
Since he became deaf, however, he
has developed so wonderfully the
senses of touch and sight that he can
detect the finest movements of the
instrument and correctly interpret
them.
: His nervous system is q part and
parcel of telegraphy ana by the sense
of touch in his finger tips he takes
messages transmitted from the ends
of the continent.
He can also read a message BY
watching the sounder. With his left
foref1nger placed lightly on the sound
er he can by his wonderful sense Of
touch take message as accurately
as any man in the Office.
He insists that he needs no more
consideration than any other operator,
for he can read the fastest trans
hitting without the slightest difficulty,
and his record of mistakes in a year
is said to be smaller than that of any
other operator in the Office.
Mr.. Foley's hearing began to fail
rapidly eight years ago. He was then
considered the best operator in the
Portland Office and every effort was
made to help him. The manager of
the Office arranged the receiver so 1t
would make a louder tick, but In a
short time he was unable to hear
even this.
There appeared no alternative but
failure. No operator in the world had
been able to work after he had lost
his hearing. The manager didn't
wish to send good man away, so he
was set to doing common work at
the same salary he had received as
an operator.
One day he announced that he
would soon be able to go back to his
old position. The manager was sur
prised. That a deaf man could be a
telegraph operator was too much to
credit, but Mr.. Foley was able to
prove that he could do it.

Wireless for Airships,

Now that aerial navigation is COM
ing to be considered seriously, new
problems are arising, such as the
question of navigation on starless
nights or over fogbound land, when
the aeronaut will be unable to find his
bearings. 1t has been proposed by .
German inventor, that a network Of
wireless stations be- established over
the land, each automatically sending
out a predetermined signal at regular
intervals, which would be received by
the air craft, and enable the aeronaut
to determine his course. The airships
would not be required to carry trans
hitting apparatus, as a small receiv.
ing apparatus would suffice to enable
them to avail themselves Of this pro-.
posed system. and the weight of tho
receiving device could easily be kept
down to q few pounds.
