Thought Death Mas Certain.

While tramping over a field to
make Il short cut to his home at Il
late hour George Hoven, of Sharon,
Pa., walked on the boards of an
abandoned well and fell through.
He was able to grab hold OF a cross
beam and succeeded in linking
his arms about it. Then he scream
ed for help. but his cried were not
heard
After clinging to the support for
about two hours Hoven began to
grow weak. The freezing air was
also telling on him and he was fast
losing his strength He offered I'D
Il prayer and allowed his arm to re-
lax. He fell, expecting to be killed
instead, he dropped only six inches,
as the we'll had been filled in with
i'll about five feet OF the top. The
fright attending the moments while
he hung suspended in the air COM
pietely unerved him.

big Feet; Normal Minds.

That the majority of normal
minded men have big feet and most
normal minded women small feet is
the latest scientific discovery an
nounced TO the world by the Paris
Academy of Sciences. 1t comes
from Professor Macauliffe and
Marie, who, for several months,
have been measuring the feet of
French people in all walks of life.
They found that eighteen out of
every one hundred soldiers were
small-footed and only twenty-four of
every one hundred weak-minded
men big-footed. On the other hand
they found that only twenty-three
of every one hundred normal wo-
men were large-footed. while only
eighteen of two hundred weak-wit-
ted women were small-footed.
This is considered to confirm the
ancient theory that woman is mans
equal, for the reason that she is his
exact opposite.

WHY THE AEROPLANE FLIES.
Air Pressure Beneath it and Its Mo-
ton Keep the Flying Machine
From Failing.

Ask scientist, What is an ae-
roplane?' and he will reply. ANY
flat or slightly curved surface pro-
PEELED horizontally throught the
air. That, being merely defini-
tion of a thing, and not an explain
alton of flight, tells little Of what
is most wonderful about flying
machine. Time and time again we
have all asked ourselves: Why is it
I that this combination of planes,
propellers, motors and rudders does
not fall? Why is it that a machine
many times heavier than the air
stays aloft?
1t is the air pressure beneath it,
and its motion, that keeps up Il
plane. If it is to remain in the air,
an aeroplane must constantly move
like skater OH thin ice. The
skater must move fast enough to
reach a new section of ice before he
falls; the aeroplane must move fast
air before it falls. Both are con-
stantly struggling with gravitation
The simplest and most familiar
example of an aeroplane is the kite
OF our boyhood days. By holding it
against the wind, or by running
with it, If there happens to be only
gentle breeze, this Oldest OF fly
ing machines is kept aloft. Invent
substitute for the string, some de-
vice, in other words, which will en-
proper direction, and you have in
vented flying machine. The pull
or the thrust of an engine-driven
propeller Is that substitute.-Har-

CUT THE WRONG ROPE.
Woman BallOonist Has Narrow Es-
cape From Death at AsheVilIe -
Plunges Thousand Feet and
Lands Uninjured.

Lands Uninjured.
Asheville. n. c., May 22.-Flor-
eta Lorenz, Il triple parachute per-
former, associated with visiting
show, had narrow escape from
death last week when, after cutting
the wrong parachute rope, she fell
at rapid rate from a height of
nearly a thousand feet. Had not
her parachute rope caught in the
street car and electric light wires
in the heart of the city, she would
undoubtedly have been killed. In
the first half OF her descent, Miss
Lorenz was virtually hanging to one
cord Of the first parachute.
The young woman was carried in
TO a store in fainting condition,
bkt she was otherwise unhurt. She
later stated that she carried three
parRchutes with her and on reaching
up TO release the balloon wherein
she ascended accidentally cut the
ropes of the second and third para
chutes, which, however, did not OPP
en-. The unusual weight of two un-
opened parachutes, added to her
own, caused her to descend at Il
rapid rate, the hundreds Of people
who gathered in the center of the
city saw that the woman was in
danger of alighting on the roof of
the postoffice. A sudden gust of
wind, however, carried her over the
network of trolley and illuminating
wires which cross and Tecross Pat
ton avenue and there were loud
cheers from the anxious hundreds
when the swinging ropes and then
the parachute caught in the wires
and were firmly held. allowing the
thoroughly frightened young woman
to drop safely to the street below.

AGAINST OWNER OF BUILDING
AND NOT AN ORDINARY BLACK
HAND AFFAIR.

New York, April 7.-some one ex-
pioded heavy bomb in front Of the
basement door at IS1 West Forty
fifth street between Sixth avenue and
Broadway, in the very center of the
all night district, set thick with chop
houses, lobster places and hotels.
A terrific report Jared the whole
neighborhood for fifteen blocks
around, and the force Of the explo-
sion blew in the basement doors Of
the chop houses and shattered all the
windows. The upper stories were
tenantless and the ground -four, occu-
pied by furrier, was vacant at the
time, SO nobody was hurt, but bomb
so far from the east side. quickly
drew crowd of thousands. The po-
lice have a theory that the case is
one of spite work against the owner
of the house and not an ordinary
black hand bomb throwing.

WORK OF RESCUE BEGUN.

Lone Hill Life Saving Station,
l.. T., April 7.--In the wash Of .
smashing, ohoppy sea the trans
shipping of the 1,722 passengers
on the stranded Princess Irene to
Prinz Frederick Wilhelm was un-
dcrtaken this afternoon in surf
boats. The anchor chains were
still rafting through the hawse
holes of the PrinZ Frederick,
which anchored about a mile off
shore, when Captain Peterson of
the Irene signallsd for the life
savers to come alongside and begin
the work of transfer.
The wind vsered into the north
west, and this gave a bit of
smooth sea to the Ieeward of the
Irene. The turf boats came bob
ing alongside and approaches
the accommodation ladder on the
forward part of the imprisoned
liner, which lay rolling on the
sand keys. As the life boat swung
away a wave slapped the side of
the boat sending a shower of
spray over the shipwreeked pas
ssnaers, but beyond that no dam
age was done and the captains of
the life saving crews from Lone
Hill, Blue Point and Point
o'Woods stations said that the
transfer should be effected with
out accident.
The sea was found to be run
ming too high for the life boats
with passengers in transit to make
10 the Prinx Wilhelm safely, This
life boats consequently ran along
side the tug Timmins on the lee
side of the Irene and put their
passengers on board the tug. She
left the Irene with her first load
at 2s1e o'clock. The Timmins
made the run Of about q mile sep
srating the Irene from the PrinE
Frederick Wilhelm in ten minutes,
and at 2:29 made fast to the
Wilhelm and prepared to unload
