A DIRIGIBLE OF 1884.
The Prospectus Promised Much, But
L'Aigle Would Not Fly.


A dirigible. L.Aigle. was to have made
a journey from the Champ de Mars
August II, 1884. The poetic wording of
the prospectus is in itself curiosity. and
the aerostat also was not wanting in in
terest. 1t was forty meters long. that Is.
$50 feet. and fifteen in width, that is, IS
feet . inches. 1t had the form of mon
ster sea fish and was inflated with by
drogen.
Within was'a second envelope, which
with the aid Of pumps compressed or rare
fled the air for ascending or descending
as the case might be. At the eXtremities
were two great 'roueS a ailetteS' for
steering purposes
There was no motor. and the navigators
had to work the machinery with their
hands. The car of wicker was described
as a marvel of comfort, with seats for
ten persons. The dirigible was to have
made its ascent with the two aeronauts,
Messrs. Lemon and Edam, who were to
have been accompanied by their wives
The prospectus of the 1884 dirgible in
formed the public that the inventor had
constructed two years before at Mont
martre a monster machine, which he
raised one night far away from curious
eyes to study its capabilities. but the re-
suit was not equal to his expectations
Today, after great improvements, the ap-
paratus was ready for victory
This would be achieved in the presence
of a great concourse of spectators and
the iIlS VIE, With several
people. would make the ascent Given
favorable wind, two hours would be suf-
ficient for the journey to London. which
is ninety-eight leagues from Paris The
itinerary was indicated with great pre-
cision
But in spite of the magnificent prom
ises and after the expenditure of great
trouble and energy the apparatus was
got to the Champ de Mars. but beyond
that il would not move The crowd was
enrased and smashed the machine

Autumn Time.

From The Chicago News.
We think too little of the country when
summer is gone. Only hot weather sends
us seeking open spaces where the sun
and the air may seem less warm because
of green growing things. Yet the other
seasons. even clustering winter. offer
pleasures of their own peculiar kind to
any one that can enjoy them. The
autumn that is coming will bring morn
ngs when things will lose harsh outlines
at only a lite distance and the grass
will be touched with a white dust turning
TO silver under the warmth of the sun.
Such morning. if school does not keep,
the boy girl with red checks may
choose for a journey aficld.

dead bodies in l3 miles on the road.
The missionaries tell of the natives
eating cakes made of leaves and stemps
mixed with millet chaff, which they
buy with the allowance from the gov
ernment at 8 cents apiece. The trees
have been stripped of bark which has
been eaten.
DR.. Coehrane, an American 'Presby-
terian missionary. said that in the
whole afflicted region there were 1000
600 starving people. In ont village of
hundred families, one-third were dead
of hunger and pestilence. Snow was
falling and many were without proper
shelter or clothing.
The missionaries have begun the
work of relief with the greatest sys-
tenn and directness. The families in
the province of Fuchow, for instance,
were divided into four classes andinnu-
merated, with this result:
Those who had plenty numbered IT,.
995; those who could exist till harvest
on what grain they had, 209, ,937; those
who had little grain but would be in
need by the end of February, l56, ,3Ol;

DECISION LEFT WITH JUDGE
international Tribunal 10 Compared
With Unsatisfactory Case Of Hyp-

P. ]. Corcoran of the western avia-
ton circuit said at recent banquet
in Salt Lake:
THE international tribunal has de-
cided against us In the Grahame White
claim. Well, that international trib-
unal is always unsatisfactory. anyway.
1t is almost as bad as the hypnotist
in the murder trial.
I'm the days when hypnotism fig
ured In every murder trial, famous
hypnotist offered to hypnotic the
prisoner and get q confession out OF
him. This offer was accepted.
Accordingly, after thrilling scene
in the courtroom, the accused man
fell back stiffiy in trance, the hypno-
list ceased the weird movements OF
his white hands, and there was q
tense pause.
well said the Judge In low
voice, you've hypnotized him, hav'
emit you? What are you waiting forf
".T am waiting, the hypnotist an.
swered, till you tell me whether I'm
to make him confess that he did 1t or
