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

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." "

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-

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.

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.
