MAK NG A BALLOON. Precautions Taken to Keep the Gat Bag Frorr. Destruction. It may istemt the reader to hearj sometiiiug about the construction of a ; big uxxiera balloon and L- equipments - It is made of w'uat is known as bai ’ loon cbjth, which sjuietinses is of s.i.. and is sewed 1 in sm.d> sections of about! i a yard square. so that if one »f the sec ; tioris should burst the whole balloon' would not collapse and destroy the; aeronaut At the top of the Lag is the valve to. let the gas out when >ne wishes to de I scend. A nope frit opening it runs from: this valve through the center of the| balloon to the operator in the basket. | The balloon is filled through the neck. I and this Ls left always open, so that} I when the gas expands from the heat of ; the sun or the lesser pressure of high altitudes the gas may escape and not ■ burst the envelope. As soon as the balloon is sewed together it is blown full of air and given ' three coats of varnish. Each coat must i be allowed to dry thoroughly before ; the next is applied, or else they would never become perfectly dry. and the ■ balloon would be likely to be destroyed at any minute from spontaneous com I bustton. This spontaneous combustion is not a bursting into flame, but a kind of exceedingly quick dry rot. I myself have lost three balloons through it Once in my factory we were looking at a beauty when some one sniffed the air and remarked. “Thomas' balloon is gone.” And so it proved to be. Five minutes saw it destroyed—rotten so rh»r you could poke your finger through it Sometimes the balloon is so affected in only a few sections, and a man may make an ascension thinking his bal loon is all right Protected by the fine netting which envelops the balloon itself. he may even get up to some height before discovering his danger. In former times there were many fatal accidents from this cause. When a balloon Is packed, talcum or some other powder is sprinkled over ( the folds to keep them from adhering to each other. If this is neglected the balloon will be ruined, especially in hot weather. As I said, a fine netting covers the balloon proper both to strengthen it and to carry the weight of the basket and Its contents. All the strands of the netting come together in the “concentrating ring,” just above the basket in which the aeronaut stands. The anchor and guide ropes as well as the basket are fastened to this concentrat ing ring. All modern balloons, besides the valve, have a rip cord fastened to a long patch sewed in the envelope, by means of which the balloon can be cut in two and brought to earth instantly. This is never used except in case of extreme emergency and where the basket is within ten or fifteen feet of the ground.—Dr. J. P. Thomas in Appleton's. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. We all need things we can plug along without If you are right, don't let a clever man persuade you out of it. The thoughts you can't express without profanity are not very important. Apologies are like family skeletons. They shoald not be taken out before i company. Half our bad temper comes through our inability to see the justice of the I other side. When you think you have done your best the chances are that you have only started. This would be a more comfortable world if people would listen to reason as readily as to gossip. Some people have an absurd notion i that unless they are always gabbing i they will be considered dull. —Atchison • Globe. I The Old Bedlam. Bethlehem (pronounced Bedlam) is ’ the London lunatic asylum. It was originally founded in 1247 as a priory, but is spoken of as a hospital for lunatics in 1472. end when the church was despoiled it was granted to the city of London as such an asylum. At t one time the wretched inmates were - exhibited to the public like so many ; wild beasts, as Pepys notes in his diat ry and Hogarth shows In one of bls • sketches. Patients that were harmless or haif cured were given badges and released to beg in the streets. Edgar In “King Lear” impersonates one of these wandering Tom-o’-Bedlams. i What Chance Had Ha? s A physician tells of two young s friends in his city who entered simuls taneously upon their respective careers t of physician and lawyer. I .ate one J aftern'»n the newly made medico dashed into the room of his legal . friend, exclaiming: ’ “Great luck, old man! Congratulate ’ me! Got a patient at last! On my way to see him now!” Whereupon the legal light to be clapped his friend on the back saying, “Delighted, old chap!” Then, after a slight puase, he added, with a sly grin: “Say, let me go with you. Perhaps , he hasn’t made his will.” i , A Scientist. i “Father,” said the small boy, “what ' is a scientist?” "A scientist, my son. Is a man who calls ordinary things by such long names that you can't recognize them.” —Washington Star. Thorns and Rooes. How true It is that there is no rose : without a thorn.

THE GILA MONSTER. Strange Ways of Thio Dreaded and Hard B(ting Reptile. Os some of the strange ways of ths 1 glia monster, that little known crea- > lure of the southwestern deserts, a cor- | resix-ndent writes: "I Lave had seme experiences with Gila monsters and ; can state that, no matter what scien- j tists may claim, the Gila monster is a ‘ good thing to shun. Indians and Mexi- I cans have a horror of it and fear I it more than a rattlesnake. I be- ' Here that the bite of the Gila monster ! is dangerous because of the creature's ■ habit of eating lizards, bugs and ro- I dents and then lying on sand so hot ■ that it blisters the hands and feet of ■ men. The heat causes the food to pu- I trefy in the stomach, evidenced by the i fact that the teeth are often covered j with a fermented, putrefied froth from the food. A bite has the same effect as the ent of a dissecting knife used on a cadaver—in other words, the inoculation of a deadly poison. “When frightened or angry he can move quite rapidly. That short, thick, stubby tali is used in Jumping, just as a kangaroo uses his tail. The Gila monster bites like a bulldog and has the tenacity of a snapping turtle. I once saw some men teasing a Gila monster brought to Tucson. A string was tied around his neck. The Gila monster was crawling around on the ground, trying to get away, but was pulled back by the string. This was carried on til! the creature became furious. The crowd around the Gila monster knew nothing of his power to spring. Suddenly be sprung up and bit a man among the crowd on the hand, leaping fully two feet from the grouiuL “Another instani, this of a man whose chief to have been a foolhardy display of fearlessness. He was holding one of the monsters In his hand by the back of its neck, so it could not bite him. He dropped his hand to the side of his leg. The Gila monster shut his teeth down on his heavy uuck overalls, taking a double piece out where the cloth folded as quickly as a pair of scissors could have cut the fabric and as cleanly.”—Chicago News. ABUSE OF THE DEAD. Queer Custom of the Bagas Foreha of French Guinea. The Bagas Forehs. who lire in French Guinea, quit life in a manner anything bat commonplace. When a man dies his wife and children do not lament him. Instead they are angry at having teen abandoned. They prop the tody up against the house with the forked branch of a tree and invite their friends and relatives to come, all of whom are furious that one of their own has left them. When al! the guests have arrived the wife of the deceased advances and addresses what was once her husband In away well calculated to scare bis ghost away from the neighborhood. “There now. listen! You’d leave me, would you? So you don’t want to live with me? Why do you do this way? Haven’t I always been a good wife to you? Haven't I been a good mother to your children? Haven't your rice and fish always been well cooked? Have you anything to reproach me with? Nothing. Then shall not you go? Coward! Traitor: You shall not leave without receiving the correction that such conduct deserves.” Then the blows begin to rain down upon the poor defenseless figure. Presently the tired wife gives place to the children, and they tn turn to the relatives and friends, all of whom similarly abuse it At length, with a natural human impulse, their fury spent they try to make amends to the hapless corpse. They bathe it and bury It a meter deep inside the house, and each day at the dinner hour the family places on the tomb some grains of rice and a little palm wine for refreshment of the soul should it return. —Washington Post Origin of Cork Legs. “A cork leg?’ said the dealer. “Why. man, a cork leg would crumble under you like a leg of bread. You don’t want a cork leg. but an elm or willow one. A leg was never made of cork since the world’s beginning But many people tfiink as you do, and I’ll tell you bow the fallacy originated. The inventor of the modern artificial leg—the leg instead of the stick—was John Cork Cork's legs, or cork legs, were famous around 1810. And whenever a man makes your mistake be pays aa unconscious tribute to Cork’s skill.” Very Much Settled. An elderly woman, on being exato- : ined before the magistrate of Bungay as to her place of legal settlement, was ' asked what reasons she had for sup- ' posing that her deceased husband’s ' settlement was at St Andrews. I The old lady looked earnestly at the bench and said: ‘ “He was born there, he was married there, and they buried him there; and if that isn’t settling him there. Pd liks to know what is!”—London Telegraph. A Correction. Bertie—Father, what is an egotist? 1 j Father—He Is a man who thinks he is smarter than any one else. Mother— My dear, you are scarcely right The I egotist is the man who says that be Is : smarter than any one else. AH mea think they are. Smalt Himself. “The trouble with that man Is that be takes small matters seriously.” “Yes.” answered Miss Cayenne, “bnt you could not expect him to do otherwise without sacrificing his self esteem.”—Washington Star.
