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.

A HARD LIFE.
fit Mental anil l'hyalral ITarntnipi at
Mall Car Clerks,
The life of a rnllwny mall clerk or
route agent at tho best Is not easy,
says a contributor to Collier's Weekly.
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.

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

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. !

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
