THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE FH I DAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1895. - Y (These short serial storleS'are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach Tler.and are printed InTheTribune by special arrangement, simultaneous wltb their appearance in the leading dally journals of the large cities). III. Throughout the city there was a ferl ItiK of helplessness, not unmixed with exasperation. To see that balloon up there,, placidly swaylnp to and fro, to know that within a few hours It mlffht release its frightful burden, to feel the uncertainty . of where "the Inevitable explosion would oocur: beyond all, to realize that evepy Instant brouKht the co.tastrophe . nearer, was maddening. Where were all the electricians and the engineers and the chemists and the In ventors generally? Was It possible that the much-boasted national Ingenuity had recoiled, conquered and humiliat ed before such a problem ns this? ?o talked the anitry people In the streets. Meanwhile the news of the peril of the metropolis hnd spread over the country, and, singular to say, Its prin cipal effect upon the suburban popula tion, was a burning desire to witness the big explosion, ns It could do them no harm. Coneenuently, the Phllartel phlans, and the New llavenltes, nnd the Albanians, besides the dwellers In other nearby towns; flocked In preat cohorts Into New York. They cime In on the morning' trains with their children, and thedr lunch bnske.ts. and bivouacked in, hordes In the uptown streets, Just outside- the police cordon which now Inclosed the circle swept by Tho Mayor and the Scientists. the balloon. They pre-empted the stoops of private residences, ate their meals thereon, and rang the door bells at intervals to demand Ice water or the loan of a- eup of milk. One mai from New Jersey brought some carpenters and to-led to erect a. "grandstand" in the neighborhood of Central park, but ho -was mobbed by the neighborhood before he had sijd Enough saats to make the eiiiterorise lemunerative. An other person drove a thriving business in selling pieces of smok.-d glass where with to look at the baikii n; which the farmers bought instinctively. The peripatetic telescope men fairly coined money. Thia had not .gone on long, when heavy rain clouds began to gather In the west, and then a new fear arose. Would the 6torm hasten the tailing of the dynamite? Suppose the balloon should be struck by lightning! Meanwhile the urgent appeals which had been sent out by the mayor to all the scientific people had resulted In an Imposing gathering of professors In the Forty-fourth street boarding house. Each having answered the call under the Implicit conviction that all the others had been summoned for the ex press purpose of hearing his particular views on the matter in hand, an air of reserved dignity and gratified conde scension pervaded the company as it followed his honor up the creaky stairs, and Into the attic room where the safe vraa located. "I need not eay to you, gentlemen," said the mayor, tersely, "why you are here. Tou perceive the danger. Can It be averted? Suggestions are in or der prompt and sharp, please." No answer was returned, although several scientists looked disconcerted end were seen to replace In their pock ets sundry bulky manuscripts. "I ah I would suggest," said one professor, rising ponderously and look ing over his spectacles, "that we cause the eafe door to be opened, and the voltage of the generator therein de termined, and " " "The slightest attempt to open the safe door wll blow up a torpedo'wlth ln,' " read the mayor from the notice over the safe. ' The professor sat down abruptly. "Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!" suqdenly remarked a. small and somewhat Jerky Individual. "Let us construct another balloon, let It Slide up on the cable and carry some one who will remove the dynamite." " 'If the pitcher fastening Is In any wise tampered with; the pitcher will certainly tfM' " again read the Mayor, in a weary sort of way. "At the same time, professor, If you will agree to go up and try" "No, sir; no, Blr; quite impossible; life too valuable to the cause of science. No. sir." " at. mediately one case of Johann Hoff's Malt Ex-. tract to' Sarskoje, Celo,.by order of the Czar, Count von SchuwalofF." " ' Beware of imitations. The genuine' - -Johann Hoff's Malt Extract has this signature C2T on neck label. Eisner & Mbndilson Co., , Sole Agents, New York, The chorus of coughs and poohs! which greeted this last remiak ceased when a third person rose and proposed to cut the cable, the advantages of which plan he was about to argue when It was pointed out that nothing would more certainly break the cur rent and thus cause the dropping of the torpedo. Then the electricians got at it In epnjest. One wanted to hitch on a second battery and reverse the current, a proceeding certain to disorganize the electromagnetic mechanism In the bal loon and release the pitcher. Another wanted to splice on a great length of cable, and let the balloon float over soniL' other place to do Its mischief; lut this, leaving out the ethicnl question Involved, would, of course, put In more resistance In the path of the current, laid perhaps render It too weak to hold up the load- Another wanted to fire bullets at the pitcher, and cause the explosion. in mld-alr, but It was pointed out that they would be much more likely to hit the balloon and let the gas out. "I did not ask your assistance, gen tlemen," said the mayor somewhat sarcastically, "to devise means for dropping that torpedo. The balloon will do that of Itself (he started as he glanced nt his watch) In about five hours. Kxptrlment Is out of the ques tion We cannot risk failure. Can no on,? suggest uny certain means of re lief?" The scientists breathed heavily but said nothing. They could see the bal loonnow ruddy with the reflected r.iys of the setting sun poised over the preat cathedral. The threatened storm had passed over, leaving, however, the breeze steady. The. chances were then that the torpedo would do Ms fearful work In the fairest portion of the me tropolis. From this locality the police now reinforced by the militia, had driven the people toward the rivers The danger lines had been drawn at Fifty-nlr.lh street nnd nt Madison square. It was a strange sight to see Fifth avenue, above Twenty-third street, deserted as far as the eye could reach; tho gently swaying globe being the only moving object In the long per spective. Outside the danger lines the people clustered on the housetops like Lees. The scientists, still silent, looked at the mayor with dismayed faces. The mayor grimly looked back at the scien tists. "And this is all?" said the mayor. . Several of the younger scientists pres ent moved uneasily in their seats. One of them went to the safe, passed his hands helplessly over the exterior. sighed and sat down. Another gazed fixedly at the balloon. Another became deeply Interested In the surface of the twin cable. Meanwhile there had come Into the room two other men who had seated themselves beside the mayor. The of ficial turned to them and whispered something. They nodded promptly. "I will not detain you further, gen tlemen," said the mayor to the scient ists. "I thank you for your assist ance. I can only regret that the cir cumstances make It unavailing." The philosophers solemnly walked out of the room, and maintained still ness until the street was reached. There they would have at once em barked in a heated discussion had not the police on guard Insisted on their immediate repair beyond the danger lima. One of tho two men beside the mayor appended his name to a check for one hundred thousand dillars. His sig nature would have been honored for five hundred times hat sum. The torpedo would fall directly on his roof. The other impressed a stamp on the face of the check and dashed a quick scrawl over It. The Chemical bank of New York had now guaranteed its payment. The mayor put it in his pockctbook wMh a Blgh of disappoint ment, and his visitors withdrew. The man called Julius sat In the captain's room In the Thirtieth street police station calmly smoking and reading the latest extra evening news paper. If the populace had known where he was, he would probably have also listened though with equal Im perturbability to the howls of a rag ing, mob In the street outside. But that Information had been carefully with held even from the reporters, and con sequently the street, being within the danger district, so far from being the scene of an incipient riot, was en tirely deserted save by the policemen on guard. Since his Interview with the superintendent, the police had burned with a mediaeval desire to ex tract from Julius the knowledge which he claimed to possess, by the prompt Infliction of any reasonable variety of torture. Carried away by the- enthu siasm of the moment, the police oapr tain In whose rare he was placed con ceived the brilliant notion of sending him, in charge of two stalwart patrol- ALEXANDER Tfce Late Czar of Russia, CAUSED the follow- ing telegram to be sent to the Branch House of Johann Hoff, at St. Petersburg : " Send im men, to be kept .directly under the bal loon as It moved around. But the des ignated guardian promptly rebelled when Julius pointed out to them that they would be Just as liable to de struction as himself; and as he de clined of his own volition to repair to the threatened localities alone, the cap tain reconsidered the project and locked him up until some less objec tionable plan could be matured. Julius was deep in a lurid biography of himself (where he learned, for the first time, that he was a Russian exile of anarchistic antecedents, and that his personal appearance was truly repre sented by a worn-out woodcut of The Peripatetic Telescope Man Fairly Coined Money. Mr. Chauncey Depew, duly decorated with bushy hair and a Btraggling beard), when the captain entered the room, snapped the nippers around his wrist, gave him his hat and told him to "come along " The captain was not communioatlve, and Julius asked no questions, so the pair proceeded In silence through the deserted streets to the Forty-fourth street boarding house, and up to the attic room. (To Bo Continued.) THE JOKE GERM. The Prevalence of Risibilities Among the American People on Purely Pathological Grounds. From the Philadelphia Record. Despite all the Nineteenth century triumphs of the bacteriologists, the Joke Germ still remains undiscovered. "Quid rides?" inquired the gentle Hor ace long ago, and truly why do we laugh In preference to crying? If we were to follow the advice of the mod ern professors of the divine philosophy of pessimism We would all be meta morphosed into weeping willows. And yet man continues to Justify his distinc tion of being the Laughing Animal. Malicious misanthropes have asserted that the chimpanzees smile, but that Is a. scandal as slanderous as Garner's new monkey-speech. As the merry Vicar of Meudon, Rabelais, has declared:- "Laughter is man's property alone." Where, then. Is the seat of this laugh ter? Observation discloses three sensi tive nuclei of mirth the ribs, the risible muscles and the funny-bone (the ole cranon with its ulnar nerve). The old school physicians may object to this third center, on the ground that its sensations are tlnglingly painful but so is much laughter painful, and some of us sigh in Jest. Of the ribs there can be no doubt, since we have the opinion of Dr. John Milton concerning "Laughter holding both his sides." Which ribs are the ribs of laughter it would puzzle us to specify, farther than to assume that they are among the seven sternal, or true, ribs. It is safe, however, to affirm, that when Eve was taken, the ribs of mirth were left. They are needed as a counterbalance. But repeated experiments demonstrate that the chief and characteristic center of laughter lies in the risorlal muscles. The principal attack, too, of the Jocus bacillus is upon the rlslbles, whence it may be also termed the microbus risl bilis. An F.lluslve Ilncllliis. How a Joke tickles one's risibilities Is not perfectly clear. The process of a smile Is certainly not Identifiable with the membraneous tickling which pro duces a sneeze. And yet some tltillatlon akin to that of the nostrils must affect the Hps. A superficial study of the risorlal muscles does not reveal any latent jocus bacilli, and they probably attack suddenly and produce the dis ease symptom of laughter immediate ly. Nor have the bacteriologists Identi fied or Isloated as yet any of these joke germs In their natural element of con ductivity, the newspapers and maga zines, and even London Punch a somewhat rarefied medium in which the germs are evidently greatly weak ened. Nor do they attack all persons with equal force. Some persons vigor ously resist all attacks, which leads us to think that the effect of the joke germ depends altogether upon the con dition of one's blood, and that anyone may be rendered completely Immune who shall be sufficiently inoculated with the serum of asses. The Joke ticrtn Classified. Those persons, In whose risorlal mus cles these mysterious Joke germs nnd successful development, betray vary ing symptoms of the affliction. The severity of the attack ranges, accord ing to careful diagnosis, all the way from the smile (Jocus genlalus) to the hysterics (Jocus Arlstophanlcus). In lay language, these Seven Ages of mirth are the Smile Perforce, the Smile Per suasive, the Qrln, the Titter, the Oiggle, the Guffaw Convulsive and the Serio-comic Hysterical. The Smile Perforce is a. strange variant; for, while the Smile Persuasive seemB full of the milk of human kindness, the Smile Perforce seems to be that same milk soured. It has been accurately depleted In the pathological plates of Dr. Aubrey Beardsley. The Hp curls, but the .risorlal muscles appear as though In rigor mortis. This phase may be denominated the Rlslbllus Con tractus. The Titter and Giggle are un doubtedly feminine germs. When, however, all the various Jocus bacilli shall have been Identified and isolated, the Modern Joke germs can be separ ated scientifically; the offensive mi crobessuch as the Mother-ln-Law and Old Man's Foot germs can be deadened by means of neutralizing lymphs; and the less harmful Joke germs can be cultivated under the most congenial conditions. VON MOLTKE'S VACATION. The General Took pne and Put It to Very , , Good Use. From the Youth's Companion. A story which, has lately come to light In the German press Illustrates the. extent to which a great military chieftain, the late Count von Moltke, 'rendered his military knowledge a mat ter of absolute ' certainty. In May, 1870, Moltke eskea of King William a leave of absence from his post. "You are tired, Herr Count?" asked the king. "Very well; by all means go and take a rest for a fortnight." Moltke bowed and retired. A few days afterward the minister of war, Count von Roon, presented a report on an important subject to the king. "I should like to hear what von Moltke says about that," said the king. "We will find him and bring him in, sire," said the minister. But attempts to find the general were quite vain. Telegrams were sent In every direction, but he could not be found. At tho end of his fortnight, however, ho presented himself to the king. "Where have you been, Count?" asked King William. '"Ten days ago we were searching the kingdom and all Germany for you in vain." 1 "I was in France, sire!" said Moltke. "Ah, amusing yourBelf In Paris?" "Not at all, sire. I was at Metz and Belfort. We have very good plans of the fortification there, but I wished to see with my own eyes their strong points and their weak points, and so I went over there." Two months later, In the France Prussian war, Moltke put to very good purpose the information he had per sonally gained during his "vacation." HAVE A SIIOE.IIOKN. How to Take Curo of Shoes When They Get Wet. From the Philadelphia Press. Never try to put on' a low shoe unless you have a shoehorn; you will be sure to stretch It out of shape in the back and make It Ill-fitting. Keep the but tons sewed on your shoes and good strings In your laced boots, unless you want the men to say you area "slouch." Have a paste patch put over the first sign of a break In your shoe, and they will keep In shape and last twice as long. Buy good shoes If possible. Cheap shoes and cheap gloves are a snare for the unwary. They get out of shape, are Ill-fitting, and do not wear well. It Is false economy to buy cheap foot or hand shoes. A woman hates to get her nice, new shoes wet because It spoils them so, but with care the wetting will not hurt them much. As soon as you can re move the wet shoes do so, and rub tham well with a soft rag, to get some of the dampness out, and to take off all the mud; then rub them with a cloth saturated with kerosene. Get as much of the oil into them as possible, and then fill them ns full of dry oats as you can and set them aside for a few hours, when apply another coating of kerosene. The stiffness will have disappeared, and the shoe will be in good shape when you want to don It again. KNOWLEDGE IN JOB LOTS. Charley Ross was stolen on July 1, 1871.

The term "Uncle Sam" was an out growth of the war of 1812.' Elbert Ander son, a New York contractor, Immediately after the breaking out of hostilities, visit ed Troy, on the Hudson, where he pur chased a quantity of provisions. The In spectors of these articles at that plane were Ebenezer and Samuel Wilson. The latter gentleman. Invariably known as Uncle Sam, generally superintended In person a large number of workmen, who on this occasion were employed In over hauling the provisions purchased by the contractor of the army. The casks were marked "E. A. U. S.'' TSe work of marking fell to the lot of a facetious fel low In the employ of the Wilsons, who on being asked the meaning of the mark, said he did not know, unless it meant "Elbert Anderson to Uncle Sam."
