Public Works under Governor Hughes and
who is member Of the Barge Canal Ter

had any comments TO make regarding the
bills, identical in form and introduced By
the chairmen OF the Committee on Canals,
in each branch Of the Legislature, provid-
ing for an increase in the membership Of
The commission from its present number OF
four to nine. The Ave additional members
proposed are the Lieutenant Governor, the
Speaker of the Assembly. the Superintena-
ent OF Public Works. the Attorney General

by the fact that the pending bills propose

Fallina Up Out of a Balloon.

If man falls out Of rising aero
plane or balloon he will not 90 toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time. Ii
the air machine were stopped in its
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate Of thirty
two feet second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side Of the man
and rescue him. The reason why the
man rises is the same as the reason
for n bullets rising when shot from
a gun into the air-both the man and
the bullet are given velocity upward,
and 1t takes some time for gravity to
negative that velocity. - IIarper's

six insane soldiers who escaped while
the corporal who had brought them on
board the trooper was leaving at Dur

six men were officially under obserya-

THE GID BATES HOUSE.
A Hotel That once Startled indianapo,
lis With Ms Innovations

lis With Ms Innovations
remember that when Indianapolis
became great railroad center and
city of enormous proportions popula-
ton from $1,000 to 10000, according
to the creative capacity Of the lima gina
tion making the esti.nate--a wonderful
hotel was built there and called the
Bates House.
Its spIendors were the subject Of
wondering comment throughout the
west 1t had washstands with decorat-
cd pottery on them In all it's more ex-
pensive rooms SO that q guest sojourn-
ing there need not 60 down to the
common Mushroom for his morning
ablution and dry his hands and face
on Jack towel. m
There were combs and brushes IN
the rooms, too. so that IL one wanted
to smooth lis hair be was not obliged
to resort to the appliances Of that sort
that were hung by chains to the wash
room walls.
Moreover, liz q man going to tile
Bates House for sojourn chose 10 pay
q tritle extra he might have room all
TO himself. N#
But all these subjects of wonder
ment shrink to notbingness by COM
parison when the proprietors Of tho
Bates House printed on their break
fast bills Of fare an announcement that
thereafter each guests breakfast would
be cooked after his order for 1t was
given. together with an appeal for
patience on the part OF the breakfast
ers-a patience that the proprietors
promised to reward with hot and fresh
~ prepared dishes.
This innovation was so radical that
it excited discussion hotter even than
the Bates House breakfasts. Opinions
differed as to the right Of hotel keeper
TO make his guests walt for the cook
ing Of their breakfasts. TO some minds
the thing presented itself ns an i'll
vasion OF personal liberty and there
fore CT the constitutional rights of the
citizen, - Edward Eggleston's "Recol-
ections."
