Bow many people ia Brooklyn have bad thl experience Do yon want itt Then come with me aa I pick my way through tha Gowanua canal region of the city and finally arrive at a row of plaia yet seat brick tenement bouses oa Douglass street. Certain papers in my possession lead me to believe that I am in search of either a fraud or a genius. Which will be prove to be? The U-ll is rang, tbe door ia opened, and a large, tine-looking man bids me welcome. Ushered into a parlor still bearing traces ef reilnement and former thrift. I am immediately cognizant of the fact that I am in tba presence of a man who, if be has a hobby, has one for mechanics of some kind or other, for-upon the wails bang models of invention, uiplotnas from the American Institute; scattered about oa the tables are of machinea, etc.

linking known my errand, I am met with a burst of oonfl-denos that is refreshing and aa unbosoming of self that is unique. Who is this man! Let him tell his own stnry. ily name ia Cart Wolfnng Petersen. I am a native ot Holstein. ily more remote ancestors were Korswnsn, and my immediate ones either navigators or ahip-buildera.

I see. When bat a boy of thirteen I shipped at Hamburg for New Orleans, and there I managed to get year's schooling, all that I have ever bad in English. I soon shipped on a California packet as a subordinate, Ia due time 1 rose to tbe rank of master, and for many years was a trusted commander of the largest veasela in tbe Pacifio and Indian Ucean trade. My life, which was, published In Hamburg in 1870, gives a history of mr adventures while a sailor. I know what it is to vary narrowlv escape falling into the hands of cannibals; once, with my ship's crew, I held at bay the entire population of a ttouta Sea island, while waiting to be taken off.

Ere long drifted into the whaling service. It waa while on one of these voyages to the Iforth sea' in tbe vicinity of Bearing traits that I became convinced of tha futility of aver expecting to reach the north pole by ship or aied, on water or land, and not until aerial navigation becomes aa established mode of transportation will there ever be a successful North-pole exploring expedition. After many of these whaling voyages, I settled down ia San Pranetaeo and opened a machine-shop, drove a goad business and found time to pot in form and coll metal what had hitherto been fancies of my brain, for while on shipboard I thought that I had discovered eontrrvance- or two- that would be benencial to navigators. After I had accumulated prupei ty and gathered tor gether tbe modela of several inventions started East. 6 hip-owners and builders la.

the East saw the worth ef my inventions, and I sold them to good advantage. Having bad a life fall of adventure, haw ing made my pile, I naturally turned my face toward home and relatives and went back te Hamburg, where I opened and fitted up one of the largest ship- boiiding yards la tbe country and made money without any trouble at all. 1 had a good deal of time to myself and spentit in studying astronomy, trying to solve tae problem of aerial navigation, and experimenting in theeunstrnctioa of a self -righting lifeboat. I did this latter feat ia 1( to tbe satisfaction of the German Life-saving InsUe tution and the Hoyal National lifeboat As aociation. of London.

England, from whiiJi I received in 10J the annual award, of 100. the first to a foreigner. not only built a aelf-righting Ufeboas propelled, by oars, but a self-righting boat propelled by steam. The furnaces were so swung that they remained vertical, no matter what tbe poation of the boat. I could tell some stories about those Englishmen too, iSi wanted to.

Oh, sir, if I had done what some men wanted me to 1 could have been rolling in wealth to-day. I stayed ia England about five years. During my absence my partner bad attended to toe business in and a nice trick be played me, too. One day some men walked into tbe yard, and. after surveying everything, tokl me that they wanted possession.

It almost made me craxy. My hair turned white in a very abort tune. 3iy partner, the scoundrel, had cheated me ia my absence, and I only saved a few thousand" thalers from tba wreck, and again turned my face to this country, where I had made my first money. The Yankees are bad euouh. but German scoundrels are worse.

Of course by this Wme I bad a large family. What was I to dot "Krotn the year 1S39, when, aa whaler on board the ship Martha, in the vicinity of Bearing Straits, I bad first thought of aerial navigation, down to tbe present time. I have never eaased to give it my best thought. The ssnantial and distinguishing features of my preaeut scheme 1 discovered in isov. Ail that I have done since has been to perfect and improve ia minor matters.

When I arrived in this oountry a second time, I went right away to men with money, and I showed them my model of aerial war-ahipa. and explained my invention. They saw the worth ot it, and formed tbe American Aerial liavigatioa Company, and made me Prexi-dent. For a tune we had offices st 231 Broadway, New York city, where two large models of the train ef airships attracted large crowds. I received a large award at tae American Institute and personal letters from Gen.

Norton, praising the invention. Tbe mooey neceeai to build these airships was nut forthcoming, howevsr, and troubles bKaa to spring up in the Board of Directors, As a of this we bad to move from our commodious ofticee on Broadway to Vci Thirteenth street, South Brooklyn, and after a tuiaerabte Lie there, left it, and now whatever oihee the company baa ia here ia this room. I wish oouid tell you ail I know. How some scoundrels are working against me; bow the Directors have tried to gut all my share ot the invention away front me. see this invention, if it is worth anything at all, will revolutionise inetbode of war tare.

One of my airships can hover over any of your great viUes and destroy it arao hoar, and you coa no nothing, to prevent ll)e destruction. To stop this foaiaadeat siyiia-niite bombejiaidi cMnbusuiee saab wartllA 1 carried and stiew-ered down uiion tbooil ings, it would be necessary, to the ship. The suine force of gravitythac would aid my projoctdes ia finding teiTae anna would prevent your projsculve from reaching the attitude at which the ahip would operate. Tbe Anarchists realise tha value of my invention. The National Government ought to own it.

I have discovered a new inobve power that will be used In propelling tbee ships. What it ia no one knows. I discovered long that dynamite could be used in pro let-tiles and safely fired from ordnance. 1 be Austrian and ItaLsa armies have used a simple device of mine for nearly a score of years, lt'a a patent portable hammock, so rigged that the mtuketa of the solduirs furnish support, and each soldier, inato.i of sleeping upon tbe ground, reolinea ia a strong but light hammock.

Not a trace of bim could be found, not a Word could be heard, and after days of snvis ty had. lengthened into months of Borrow, and ntouUis had measured yeara, without tidings, the grief and pain grew into tbe apathy of despair, and the mother let longing (lie, and thought of him aa having cruesad the dark river to Join tba ooaaUaaa crowd oa the fartner shore.

Sometimes bis raiment waa of line linen and fair to look upon; at other times, through the rente, in the rags that covered bis backs, not a aign ot a shirt could be seen, and tha cold, cutting winds of tha middle of December played a gleeful game with the spots where the shirt ought to, -have been. Tbe world waa a great deal larger, great deal colder, aad a great deal lean inclined to encourage youthful aspirations than ha had aver imagined.

Thus, referring back to bygone years, Ppenser calls it "divine tobacco," bat whether he indulged in the use of it ia by no means certain, although it seems probable that he spoke in this complimentary manner out of reepect and regard for his tnenoV riir Walter Raleigh, who has been reewrded aa having introduced tha fashion into-' England.

Eventually be took his formal leave in a "Farewell Ode to Tobacco," end, in sanding a copy of tbe poem to Word worth, be writes: 'l have bad it in my bead to do it these two yeara; but tobacco stood, ia its own lUht whan it gave me headaches that prevented my singing its praiaea."

ArchUfchop Whateley was another great antoker, and his pipe, when bis little vol-cano waa extinct, served aim aa a bookmarker. In summer" time be might be aeaa aitting on a chair in St.

btephea'a Green while be was smoking tobacco. Arch btsnop Laud was accwed by the Puritans of being too fond of smoking; and Robert HalL while at Cambridge, aoquired the habit oi smoking from being in Parr's- company. Being asked on one occasion why had be replied, 'I am qualifying myself for the society of a Doctor of Lhvin-ityrnnd tbia (bokungup his pipe) is the test of my admission," Dr. Parr, it should be noted, was an inveterate smoker, and whoa some one said to him: "Do you smoke, Dr, Parr!" be answered, "Ail great men do. sir." rJometimee he would smoke as many as twenty pipes in an evening, and Dr.

Richardson, in bis ''Recollections of tbe Lest relates bow, at the dinner given at Trinity College, Cambridge, to the Duke of Gloucester, as Chancellor of the Univer-sityyvDr Parr, upon the removal of tbe dotijN indulged in his eternal pipe, "blowing a cJoud-iuto the faces of his neighbors, muca to thaur annoyance, and canning royalty to sueaee." The noted founder of the "Atomio Dr. Daitoa, greatly enjoyed his pipe after his day's occupation in the nlass room or tbe laboratory, "or when taking his well-earned weekly naif-holiday with tbe blowing einb at tbe country tavern, where every Wednesday be regularly attended," hU'oolloquial faculty being at its very best when over a pipe of tobacco.

Brooklya TUnea The feverish speculation ia coffee Is exciting general at taction. Tbe erase in coffee, the speculation in wheat and cotton, and the real estate excitement in the South and Southwest, not to mention tbe activity In real property here, may be given as the chief reasons for the dullness in stocks.

As to coffee, the wholesale price baa nearly treuled within a year, and it has doubled since last fall. Seats ia" the stuffy little Coffee Exchange in Beaver street bare have risen within a abort time from $300 to $800. Many of the importers and Jobbers have made large fortunes by the almost phenomenal rise in the market; and some- who were crippled in former speculations are now fully restored to financial strength and vigor. The price of Rio coffee is now about 30 cents a pound, incredible as it may sound, and still there ia talk of pushing it still Tbe bulls have practically had the game la their own hands, and aa grain, cotton, dry goods, aad Wall etreet people went abort on the aeem-iagly natural auppositioa that the prioa had gone tdgb enough they fonnd that Croasraan 2s and hleigfied.

One house -is said to have made $3,000,000 on tha boll deal; another firm of importers is supposed to have cleared a million. In former times it baa happened that a day passed without a single transaction at the Coffee Exchange, aad when a redden spurt of activity carried the transact iona up to fifty thousand bags a day excitement ran hiW lattwiy, However, tbe sales la a single day have exceedod eUO.OUO bags. Tbe peculation ia based oa expectation of a short crop. Tha bulls are trying to make the general pubjUc believe that the next crop in Bra-xil will be only 4,000.000 bags, against something over 6,000.000 bags in the present season ending July L. The men who advocate high prices for the reason mentioned have always iintU row ridiculed tbe idea of counting a crop while it waa hardly ia blossom, but they are well loaded up now and are looking around for lain la to upload upon.

Ot course the upshot of the peculation wiil be a crash aumewhare. Everybody can not make money la a speculation. Somebody Is sure to load np at the top and suffer by tbe faU, which will be all the greater because of the extraordinary advance in the price witiua a year.
