FROM LONDON TOWN

(By Richard Abercorn.) London, Aug. 17. A wonderful old Yankee sea-dog Is Sidney Talbot, born at Brooklyn In lsot, and still ready to

go to sea again as a ship's engineer. Talbot is at present a patient in the Seamen's Hospital at the Albert Docks, as he is temporarily disabled by a touch of paralysis. This veteran of ninety-eight years shows few signs of extreme old age, beyond snowy hair and beard. He belongs to a family of centenarians, his father having died at one hundred and 6ix, hi3 motner at one hundred and five and his sister at one hundred and two. Until a few weeks ago he was working as engineer on board the deep sea tug Ulin. Talbot has told the story of his life as follows: 'I was born in Brooklyn in the Unit

ed States on May 1, 1S09, and I came to England when I was twenty-one and had studied for seven years in an en

gineering college in my native place.

I knew England was the country where

I should get on as a sailor, and I went

to Southampton as a qualified engineer

Fighting her own case in the King's

Bench Court, a woman has won a vie

tory over two of the cleverest coun sel at the English bar, and a very em

inent solicitor, Miss Emily Howe brought an action against the Hon.

Charles Russell who had acted as her

solicitor to recover damages for neg

ligence, because she said he had failed to secure for her an annuity of $1,000 due her. Opposing her claim were Sir

Edward Carson. K. C. formerly So

licitor-General, and Montagu Lush, K

C, but Miss Howe acted as her own counsel with such success that the

judge awarded her $125 damages

against Mr. Russell.

Speaking of her success as a lawyer,

Miss Howe said, "I know nothing

whatever about law, but I had made a

study of my own case and felt equal to anybody. I simply loved arguing

with, and getting the better of all

those clever men. Of all my exper

iences in court, I prefer the cross-ex

amination that was lovely."

M.CLEMEHCEAU HAS BECOME MOOIIIST Versatile Prime Minister Made An Interesting Trip in War BalloonSAYS IT WAS MARVELOUS.

THE HISTORY OF PARIS IN MIRRORS HAS BEEN DISCOVERED BY A LEARNED AND ABLE SECRETARY.

Paris, Aug. 17 M. Clemenceau has become a balloonist. The versatile Prime Minister has made an interesting trip over Paris in the now famous war balloon Patrie in company with General Picquar, the Minister of war. Starting from the St. Cloud shed, they spent about a couple of hours in the air, pirouetting over Paris, circling round the Eiffel Tower and having a very pleasant tour. This is quite a novelty for a Minister of Ceraenceau's age and with as many preoccupations. On ' returning to terra firma M. Clemenceau gave his impressions of his trip. "It was marvelous," he said. "I never realized before what a great

and significant discovery it is. It has filled me with wonder for the future of aerial navigation. What surprised me more than anything was the even flowing motion of the balloon

and the absence of all jerk, as there

used to be with the earlier motors.

"Moreover, you feel in it as safe and

secure as in an automoniie on me

ground. In the middle of the journey

a pipe of the motor burst and flooded

us with hot water, but this was the

only untoward incident.

The mechanician quickly repaired

it, and although he went quickly from

one comnartment to another, there

was no shaking of the balloon at all.

The donor of the famous "rosery of

Bagatelle," which all Paris has been

going to see, M. Gravereaux, possess

es immense fields of roses at Hay, a

little village quite close to Paris.

It is suggested that the example of

M. Gravereaux should be an excellent

one for the winegrowers in the South

of France, for the splendors of these

rose gardens is a proof that France could produce roses as well and as

profitably as do the peasants of Bul

garia, who supply most of the essence

of roses used in Europe.

Essence of roses fetches about five

hundred dollars a kilogram and it is calculated that an acre of roses will

produce a profit of three or four hun

dred dollars. An interesting fact Is that land suitable for vine cultivation is also particularly propitious for the culture of roses.

The history of Paris in mrrors has

been discovered by the learned and

able secretary of the Commission of

Vieux Paris M. Lucien Lambeau.

Poking about in old shops and old

corners, as is his wont, he has discovered in an outhouse of the storehouses

belonging to the city of Paris on the Boulevard Morland, a whole huge collection of mirrors which were taken from the Petit Cabinet at the time of

the Regency, regarding which so many

piquant if not always so very demure

romances have been written. In accordance with a royal decree dating

from very many years back, and which was always very carefully carried out, the city each time that it demolished a building which it had acquired preserved the mirrors.

These were taken to the store house

on the Boulevard Morland, and it Is these which had for years been forgotten, that M. Lambeau has rediscovered

and proved them all to be authentic.

They comprise a splendid collection

of mirors of all styles from the period of Louis XIV., passing by the Empire

and Louis Phillippe and ending with

the Third Republic. The most interesting and curious are those dating

from the Regency, many of which are scratched in various places by means of diamonds with the most illustrious names of the "Grand Seigneur" of the

time, the Marshalls of France, high of ficlals and dignitaries, and fine ladie3

A work is to be published dealing with

these mirrors.

The Success in "Inverted Lighting

Ing

Experts have for years been endeavoring to perfect a succcescful inverted gas light, well knowthat the old style vertical or upright burners must succumb to its superior merits.

The National Automatic Gas Light (Inverted) is the ONLY PERFECT GAS LIGHT for the reason that it is made according to scientific principles. The National regulates the gas you pay for not the air, as is the case with all ether gas lights will give TWICE THE LIGHT AT HALF THE COST of any vertical gas light, and five times the light at one-fifth the cost of electricity. We will place a National Inverted light in your home for $1.75 complete with mantels.
