afe In ft ThnnrtcM-lourt. TO bo la the Tory honrt of ft thundercloud nml rsenpe un harmed g an vtiniMinl If not ft unique experience. That Is what happened to the Kev. John M. Bacon and some companions In one of his balloon ascensions from Newbury England. Mr. Bacon In tclllnjc of the expert encc, says: "In scarcely more than twenty minuted from the stnrt ft mid den and mirprlsltiK change took rdnco in our clrcuniHlances. Our environ ment, which lmd appeared absolutely calm and clear, began changing with the rapidity of a transformation scene. Helow us the few hundred feet which separated us from earth began filling In with a blue har.e finite transparent, but growing palpably filmier, while abend, ns also right anil left, the horlfon nt the level of our eye anfl higher opposed a dense fog barrier of an nsheu hue. Overhead of course the sky view wns entirely hid den by the huge silken globe. At this time we were ln-lng swept along on our course, which remained sensibly Unaltered tn direction, nt a speed which we subsequently were able to fix nt npproxlniately forty miles an hour. "To ourselves the full significance cf these circumstances wns not Im mediately apparent, but the onlookers at our point of departure the tQwn gns works, now some five miles In our wake clenrly detected the approach of a heavy thunder pack nnd ns they reasonably asserted, coming against the wind. It towered above the balloon, now seen projected plainly against Its face. It came on rapidly and assumed formidable proportions. The balloon was flying due west at high speed, and nt nppnrently no great distance ovcrhend the thundercloud was progressing at a moderate veloc ity not nccurntely determined, but due east or directly opposed to 'the surface current. "And now with a whistle a blinding sheet of linil attacked the neronnuts, stinging their faces so sharply ns to give the Idea thnt the stones were falling from a great height, and Im mediately afterward from all sides and close around flashes of lightning shot out with rcninrknble frequency and vividness. We were. In fact, fairly embosomed In the thundercloud. Other and near observers narrowly watched the phases of phenomena now In pro gress. These were the countrymen who became Interested spectators nnd who presently came to our assistance. They seemed to hnve Imagined that the balloon must be Infallibly struck, Inasmuch ns It appeared to them com pletely encircled with lightning. It was, indeed, the worst storm the countryside had known for many years. At Pevlr.es, only a few miles ahead, It lasted for five hours con tinuously. A little way on our right a house was struck and burned to the ground, and on our left a couple of soldlens were killed on Salisbury plain. "Though the storm progressed, it also appeared to lng behind the wind that bore It nlong. It did not seem to advance against us ns a whole, but rather about us, forming Itself out of what a few moments before had ap peared mere empty and transparent air. "The lightning as seen by the people In the bnlloon seemed to lenp from cloud to cloud and not from the clouds to the earth, nnd the noise of the thun der consisted of short, sharp reports like the explosions of gun cotton without any of the rolling reverbera tions heard on the enrth. The aero-J nauts passed through the thunder - storm uninjured, but it wns trying to the nerves. The question Is: With the lightning playing all around It and houses and men being struck on the earth below, why was not the balloon demolished by a thunder bolt?" New Orlenns Times-Democrat. Shipwrecked Sailor Eht Comrades, The Empress of India, from China and Jiipnn, brought a story of ship wreck, murder nnd cnnnlbnllsm on the high seas, from Singapore. It was the narrative of two derelict seamen, Hjabninn Johnnncssen, a Swede, nnd Miguel Mnrtlcorenna, the only sur vivors of the hnrk Angola, who were landed nt Singapore by a Chinese junk, which picked them up on the Island of.Boubl, in the South Nutuua group. Angola sailed from Cnvlte, P. I., and wns wrecked on a reef 000 miles away from Manila a week later, and ns the boats were smnHbed tho crew had to take to two rafts mnde out of wreck age.' Of tho smaller of theso rafts nothing further Is known. The two survivors nnd nine others were on tho larger one. The unfurtunute mariners were for forty-two days exposed to every torture of the ship-wrecked and the natural results followed. A Freuchmun wns tho first of the poor wretches to go mad, nnd he slew the first mate with a hatchet, drank bis blood and ate his brains. The other men then killed the Frenchman and drunk Ms blood nml nto his flesh. They drifted day by day, and under the glaring equatorial sun the wretch ed survivors died off one by one aud were cast out to the sharks that fol lowed their frail craft. Eventually only the two above-named were left, . and they drifted ashore on Boubl Island, where they were fed on cocoa- nuts and fish by the natives nnd wer thus kept nllve until they were picked up by the native Junk which brought them back to civilisation. In detailing the story of horror to the court of inquiry which sat nt Singapore to look Into the wreck, Johannesson nnd Mnrtlcorenna said that when they nnd nine others left the wreck on their rnft they knew nothing of what lin'l become of tho remainder who left the wreck on the other raft. They had four tins of dried meats, nnd when this gnvo out, n Frenehmtin, who went tnnd wnntml o ent an American sailor who died. When Captain Crocker prevented him ho tried to kill the captain, nnd on the mate Interfering lie killed him with an nxe, nnd It wns then thnt the cnnnlbnllsm commenced. The French man nte the mnte's brnlns and drank his blood, nnd the remainder' of the crew killed nnd nte the Frenchman. They did this been use the second mnte had said thnt It wns better to kill the Frenchman than let him kill them nil, for be wns mnd and ran amuck with an axe on the rnft. They nil drnnk some of his blood nnd nte tho flesh raw. Soon afterward two others, an Eng llshmnn nnd a Rnsslnn, went crazy nnd jumped into the sea nnd one by one they died, till only the two were left nnd they subsisted by cntchlng small fish with A bent nnll nnd a line mnde from smnll strips of ennvns. When they were wnshed nshore on Soubl Island, they were too wenk to wnlk, and with sores nil over their bodies were crawling along the bench when the natives found them. They hnd regained their strength somcwhnt when the Chinese junk which took them off arrived, nnd they went on the junk to Pulo Mndi nnd then to Slngnpore, where they arrived in mid April. At the Inquiry the master of the Chinese junk testified to having seen the rnft of the two men and of how the nntives hnd told blm of their being wnshed ashore. Chili! Alone In 11 Balloon A bnlloon ascension was to have been mnde at West Liberty, Iowa, re cently by Baldwin Brothers, of Qulncy, 111., nnd In the crowd watch ing tho preparations was Carlton Meyer, twelve years old. Boy-like, he wns enger to nld In the undertaking, nnd wns helping to hold the balloon down, when suddenly it sprang Into the nlr, with young Meyer hanging head down, with his feet en tangled in one 'of the ropes. The aeronaut who was to hnve gone up In the bnlloon hnd the presence of mind to cnll to the boy: "Liang on to the rope." The boy bravely clutched the lino and squirmed around until be caught one of tho dtingllug parachute ropes, nnd he did not once innke a slip ns he twisted himself about and gradu ally worked himself up to the balloon. Mrs. Meyer, the boy's mother, fainted ns she saw him carried away. Straight upward shot the balloon with its little cnptlve. When it hnd reached nn Altitude of about a mile a current of air struck it and it began to drift away. Then began a novel and exciting chase. As the bnlloon moved the crowd followed it, expecting every Instant to see the boy dnshed to death on -the enrth. Along the ronds, over fluids nnd fences they ran, and when; those on foot were distanced the pur suit was kept up by men in wagons or on horseback. After five miles had been covered the balloon began to slowly descend. As the air in It cooled It steadily settled, wavering now and then, and drifting about with the breeze, as though to torment the anxious and nearly spent followers. Finally it came to earth In a field of grain,, whero the youthful aeronaut was gently dropped. When his friends came up be met them with a broad smile. A triumphal procession was formed and the boy was can-led back borne. There a purse of $100 was raised to reward tho little fellow for his pluck. Kescued by Ham, The nlmost human sagacity of the horse was demonstrated when eleven-year-old Kay Campbell, whose mother was drowned in a cloudburst near Marlon, Ohio, told his experiences dur ing the frightful night. According to the boy's st6ry, be and his mother were driving along the rond about 9 o'clock, the water being well up over the animal's knees. The rain was yet fulling in torrents, and It was dark as pitch. Suddenly t,he horso stopped. Mrs. Campbell hit It with the whip, but It didn't budge. Against the little boy's entreaties she hit the animal a second time, when it plunged forward and horse, buggy, boy and mother were In a torrent. The boy was thrown on a log, one of the many being washed down the creek. The log was driven into a piece of high ground nnd stuck fast. Several hundred yards below the boy heard his mother crying for help. lie answered her, but was afraid to trust himself to the swift curreut. At his second answer he heard a horse's neigh, iind soou the animal appeared swimming out from tho bank. It came to him aud rubbed up against blm.-He then quit bib hold on the log nnd grasped the horse's harness, when the animal swam with him to the bunk. There he must have become uncon scious as it was midnight when he reached a farmer's house, half a mile away, and the watch found on bis mother's body bad stopped at nine o'clock.

He travels under a constant strain and is subject '.o unremitting mentnl nnd physlcnl hnnlrlrp. He Is always overworked, but he must, be ever alert, expert l.su! iiecivitlc. The busi ngs of n ci.litimnt depends on the correctness of his Instantaneous mentnl processes, nnd his rnpld mn nlpnlatlons ft letter "mlstlirown" lnny break n henrt or burst a bank or ruin a railway corporation. The lurching of cars going nt tre mendous speed around sharp curves, the continued succession of efforts to maintain equilibrium, the monotonous vibrations, terribly destructive to nerve tissue, to spinal column nnd to brnln texture, are the dnlly and hourly concomitants of his ordinary work. Probationers often relent and go back to their former duties. One aspirant for employment In this field was as signed to a notably rigorous route. It, never finished his trip. He went half way, bought a ticket for home and re turned ns a passenger. Replying nfter ward to some questions ns to he lnbor Involved, he replied: "Lifting nnd un locking 200 pound pouches, slinking out contents, locking snme, carrying on mall matter, rearranging sacks, then going over the same work, con tinuing the same seventeen honrt without rest, with trnlns flying around curves nnd slinging you against every thing thnt Is not slung a m Inst yon." Vigor, vitality nnd resolution nre es sentlnl In ft beginner ns well ns keen est Intelligence nnd upwenrled spirit of nppllentlon. But the physical quali ties nre slowly sapped and undermined by such steady exactions of duty, nnd the mentnl qunlltles nre proportionate ly deterlornted. Hence the railway mall system Is ft huge Oorgon, Incessantly, cruelly de vouring specimens of the best man hood of the nation. Vwler present conditions It must continue to dcmir.K. and devour In order that the curren : of trade nnd the tides of civiliza tion mny continue to flow. Suspend the mnn wrecking process a slnulf week for needed, universal rest, and social chaos would ensue. Chinese Traits. While China Is ns nutoerntlc ns Is Russia, she Is. nt the same time, the most democratic country In tho world. This mny seem a pnradox, but. nt the worst, the Chinese Oovernmcnt Is a patriarchnl despotism. In the village the head mnn rules ns n father would rule ft family. Lnwsults nre abhorred. There are no lawyers, no Jury trials. Equity governs tho Judgments of the courts. I know of a case In Shanghai in which there was n finding for the plaintiff, but because his conduct hnd not been perfectly Just the amount assessed In his favor wns ordered to be paid to a charitable Institution. If a magistrate fails of his duty he Is set upon by a mob nnd dragged from his chair, nnd the insignia of his office, nre removed, especlnlly his otli clnl boots. The gods are treated In like manner. They are put out In the I sunshlno in times of drought that they j may see for themselves the Inconve-' nience of the hot weather, nnd during rains which last too long they are 1 lashed with whips ns a punishment. ! Charles Denby, in the Forum. The Heating of Lofty Buildings. Professor Fischer maintains that the system of heating the upper more than tha lower regions of the air Is the only proper course in such lofty buildings as churches, for, whereas with the or dinary method the air heated en or lie low the. ground is cooled on reaching the roof, and, fouled by the products of respiration, descends again on the h?ftds of the congregation, unless withdrawn by an exhauster, in his system the fresh air is warmed to an agreeable temperature In Its passage through the channels In the walls. Furthermore, Its ascent Is encouraged by Its being led through two sets of beating cells. In the dome there is a third set of cells, which, although they do not contribute to the warming of the parts occupied by the worshipers, serve effectually to prevent the de scent of the foul air by promoting Its continued ascent toward and escape through the aperture In the lantern that crowns the edifice. Mammlfled Bodies Found In Alaska, Although many thousand mummies of the aborigines of the Western Con tinent, it is said, have been found be tween Alaska and Patagonia, those people used no preservative art, as did the Egyptians. It Is said that they had no knowledge of arsenic or of those spices which were employed by the ancient Egyptians In expelling moisture from the bodyN The mum mies that have been taken from the burlul sands of Peru are the result of the dry air and certain preserving salts In those sands. Many desiccated bodies have been found In Alaska aud In Mexico. In the Smltbsoulan Insti tution is the desiccated body of an In dlau woman discovered In 1817 in Short Cave, eight miles from Main moth Cave, Kentucky, Washington Star. Oimni'i Herring- Fisheries.
