Blazing Lounge in a Broadway Apartment House Creates Great Excitement. Sixty families, comprising the occupants ot the row of five large apartment houses adjoining 662 Broadway, were kept in a.

state of terror for over half an hour this morning. Their fright was due to a fire in the apartment of Mrs. E. Crystal on the third floor, at the corner of Bartlett street. The fire was in a lounge in Mrs.

Crystal's bedroom, which became ignited In some unaccountable manner. Mrs. Crystal's screams were heard by John j. Lutz, a hotel keeper at 677 Broaodway, directly opposite. Mr.

Lutz turned in an alarm, as a key to the fire box is kept on his premises. His son, John J. Lutz, in company with several other men, hastily entered the building. They were met by the excited tenants rushing pell mell down the stairs. In this baste they fell over each other, and several chil dren were painfully but not seriously in jured.

The terror spread to the occupants of the other dwellings, and they also hastily vacated. I Young Lutz and his companions endeavored to reassure the tenants and "quieted them somewhat, and entering Mrs. Crystal's apartments grabbed the blazing lounge and tossed i it from a window to the street. They had beaten out the Are by the time the fire man and police reached the scene. While the firemen were engaged about the building they received word of another fire at 110 Gerry street, where they found some bedding In the apartments of Joseph Goldberg, on the third floor, blazing.

The tenants of this dwelling also labored under great excitement until the fire was extinguished. BEECHER LOSES HIS CASE. Justice Leslie W.

ISAAC N. Commute Khun County. Julv 3. 190). A PERILOUS ESCAPE.

The Diary of a French Royalisl Imprisoned in the Fampug Chateau de Jous. The narrative of the escape ot four rpyal 1st prisoners from the Chauteau de Joux, near Meuchatel, written by Captain William Girod, one of the participants in the events which it describes, is printed In the July Century by permission of his son, also named William Girod, who died in Brooklyn, rj. In 1S96, at the age of 85. The text followed is a copy of the original manuscript written by Captain Girod for his son, and no change has been made in the manuscript except by way of omisc'on qf lees interesting details 1 and in restoring the narrative to the first person, it having been changed to the' third at the time I the present owner made the copy from thti original, which hag since been destroyed. The members of the 'amily have no knowledge of any other narrative of these) events.

The Chateau de Joux hae ha(J many noted prisoners within' its walls. In 1775; Mira beau, while Imprisoned there under a lettre de cachet, was afjoivpd to visit EontarlLer, where he met Mme. Sophie de whom he wrote the "Letters to which were published in 17gi. It was also) the place of the captivity and death of the hero of the negro revolution in Santo Domingo, Toussalnt Louverture. Captain Girod's supposed offense was cpm plicity In the attempt to blow up the first consul with an infernal machine in December, 1S0O: He and his fellow prisoners first made a hole through the ten foot wall of their casement.

The narrative then conr tlnues: The next operation was to manufacture a rope. We bad eight strong linen sheets, nine feet Jong, each of whicb we slit into eight strips, which were first twisted separately, and then two together. In addition to this, we cut up a very large counterpape. a number of shirts, tablecloths, towels in short, everything that could be ysed. When finished, our rope was found to be twelyg times the length of pur' This was the most anxliios period since we began the work of escape.

It was necessary to hide everything. The sheets might have been missed; they might have come U) change them. However, as we always made our own beds, we took care to coyer them completely with the large rugs with which each of us was furnished, and thus everything passed without a shadow of suspicion. At. length arrived the day of final deliveranceJanuary 27, 1S05.

We tpok an affectionate leave of our neighbor, M. de Riviere, who mos.t cordially congratulated us on the happy progress' of cur iinuertaking. and offered his slnctrest wish for the final success of our arduous attempt. He was to dine with the commandant, and hs promised to ply him so freely with wine to. which he was known to be very partial as l9 render him by 7 o'clock, the hour fixed for pur departure, altogether incapable of interfering with our design.

At the appointed time we taking a silent farewell of pur pr'sson room, began the work of actual deliverance. Having made the external opening large enough for a man to creep easily through, we placed the iion bar across the hole. Round this the rope wa3 drawn without being tied, so that we were obliged to slide down thj double rope to prevent its slipping. We threw our greatcats and some small bundles containing such clothes as we 'could venture to take with us through the hole before us. I had a small terrier, which had betn my companjon in prison, as well at the Temple as at Joirx, for about two vears.

I could not rriak up my mind to have It killed, and had it been left behind alene. its cries, in all probability, would have led to a premature discovery of pup escape. I therofpro made a bag for it, which I hunfr about" my neck. an with It I descended the rope. The preclso height pf the first descent could not be accurately ascprtained.

hut it was supposed tp be from 80 to 1Q0 feet. However, we all got safely down, part of the end cf the rppei having broken with M. d'Hauteroche, who was a stout, heavy man; but he was, fortunately, so near the bottom that he received no injury. The rone was then dlsengeged from tna iron bar by pulling one end of it, and I was dispatched to find the tree on the edge of the rock. It was easily found, but.

before MM. de Frotte and d'Hauteroche had got down, so thick a fog came on that I could neither see the fort nor could By companions gee me. The mpon came to our assistance, and tho others reached the tree, to which we tied one end of the rope, slipping down it one after the other, sometimes on the shelving sides of the rock, covered with snow, sometimes without any other support, down fha occasional, but short precipices, until ye got a good footing on a large protecting point, where we stopped, and, pulling two together, we succeeded in breaking the ropa pretty high up. We again made it fast, de scendine in the same manner; again brpke it. and tied it a second and a thjrd time; but It Was eventually too short to enable to get quite down.

We now found ourselves surrounded by high mountains, without the appearance, of a track In" the snow, and were quite at a loss which way to proceed in order to reach the highroad. Luckily, some pack horses with bells passed by, and indicated the "beaten road, which was considerably above us." We reached it with the greatest difBcqlfy, the snow being in many places more than tbjee feet deep. Notwithstanding the coldness of the weather, we perspired freely from 'the exertion necessary to extricate qursslves from our difficult position. Having gained the road, we were at a toss which wajy to proceed. were provided with a small compass, some tinder and matches', and a steel and flint; but we had beep so Iqng In the snow that our tinder was spoiled, and it was so dark that wo could not see which way to steer.

We, however, discovered a chapel by the roadside, which we had hot noticed od pur way from Pontarller, "and we therefore concluded that to be the' road, and so it turned out. EO.

Tho weather buraau In Washington thia morning reported that the warm wave contia Moore "Entirely Satisfied" With Emery; Emery Entirely Satisfied With Himself. STORMS ARE NOW UNHERALDED. "We Cannot Make Predictions to Suit Everybody" Regarded as an Answer to Critics. There Is general complaint about the weather forecasts made by the t'nited States Weather Bureau for this vicinity. In recent months the forecasts published by the bureau have not been sufficiently accurate to warrant approval.

A notable instance was the thunder storm of Tuesday afternoon, which struck the city wit such a suddenness that it caught the people unprepared for the winJ and rain, and the result was considerable damage was done. No i. of the probability of the storm was made by the weatiier bureau officials and it came as a total surprise, apparently even to the bureau itself. The thunder storm of Wednesday afternoon was also unexpected and unannounced hy the bureau, while former Forecaster Dunn gave out a prediction the morning accurately foretelling he storm. Forecaster Emery was asked to day about the complaints of inaccuracy and he said no complaints had been made to his office except what he i seen in the papers.

He said the system of forecasting the is as nearly perfect as possible, but that there may be icaccuracii.s at times. "The bureau is' not infallible," said Mr. Emery. "Once in i there is a liotvl about the weather forecasts." said Mr. Emery.

"We i cannot make predictions to suit everybody. The impression seems to prevail that the forecasts announced for this vicinity are made by my.e!f or in this office. This is only partly true. The forecasts made from the observations takeu at o'clock in the morning are made in this office. I mean the forecast for New York City and vicinity.

This forecast is baed on the weather conditions af. o'clock and it is often difficult at that hour tq determine what the weather sill do during tU day. The wind is apt'to change and if it'eomes from the ocean'lt. of course, brings cooler weather and perhaps thunder stprms. ''STcw York is on the coast and is subject to changes in the weather 'at requent intervals.

It is different from an inland city, where the weather" conditions for hundreds ol miles around are known accurately and where it is easier tp tell what kind of wgathsr is apt to prevail, because it is fcnqwii what conditions exist in the vicinity. Here "we know the condition inland' only If the wind is blowing from the west or from the mainland, it is not so difficult to tell what may be expected, but if there is a sud dea change in the wind direction during the i day after the forecast for the day has been I maae mere may De different sorts of weather than' that indicated early in the morning. A storm may blow up from the ocean during the afternoon, while the indications in the morning do not foretell it In any way." "ft 'is only the 8 o'clock morning forecasts; that are made in this office." And we only iriake the forecast for New York and vicinity. Tfie forecast for the state is made in the "Washington office. The forecasts made at 8 at night are also given out in Washington.

The local pfflces throughout the country do pot make night forecasts. The ni'gh't forecasts are given out for publication in" the morning papers. They are by states or particular sections of country, while the rosining forecasts for localities are made from local "observations. We make np pretension of Yieirig always accurate, but try to" he as nearly so as possible. There have been com? plaints since the Bureau was established, and I suppose there will continue to 6'e "complaints." (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, July 3 So far as can be learned, there is ho dissatisfaction among government officials over the management of the Weather Bureau by Professsor Willis Ipore.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, tyhp" has charge of the Weather Bureau, is Professor Moore's Immediate superior. Th Secretary is out of "the city, having left for Spirit Lake on the 3d, and Professor' Moore iOrday assumed the position of Acting Secretary of Agriculture, and will continue to act in the capacity until the return of his "Professor Moore said to day that he had nothing further to add to his explanation of yesterday regarding the weather prediction credited to him. in which he was made to say that the present hot weather would last for thirty days. He said that he made no such prediction. At the White House the Eagle correspondent wfts informed that there was no disposition td'criticlse the chief of the er bureau.

There is much dissatisfaction over the weather, but it seems that no comrjlaint is being made in official circles of the weather forecaster. Professor added that he had no criticism whatever to made of Forecaster Emery. He said that Mr. Emery is the most capable official who has ever been in charge of thp New York station, and fTiat he will rgmain where he is and his predictions are Satisfactory in every way. Professor Moore also said that the attacks on Emery were doubtless Inspired by the friends of former Forecaster Dunn and that the would have little weight with him.

INURED IIT TROLXEY CRASH. Two trolley cars collided yesterday afternoon at High and Adams streets, slightly, and several people were Injured, but refused to, give their names. The cars were of the Smith street and Seventh avenue lines respectively. The Seventh avenue car, which was on its way to Manhattan, was rushing down Adams street. The Smith street car was bound from Manr ha.ttan to Coney Island and was crowded with passengers.

It was descending the slight grade on High street, between Washington and A.dams, when the Seventh avenue car ys crossing High street. The Smith street car ran Into the other car and derailed It. "passengers on the Smith street car were thrown into a panic and many of them lpaped to the street. The conductor of the Seventh avenue car was thrown to the pavement and received a scalp wound. Several of the passengers were slightly cut by flying pieces of glass.

CQP MAKES EXCISE ARREST. Jacob Goldstein, bartender, was charged today in the Butler street court with violation of the excise law in selling liquor to a minor.

On the fourth tack, the Shamrock 1 dropped the like paying out a line, being about a miniate and a half ahead at the turning point Tbis is the first good race between the old and new boats since the Shamrock II left the repair shop, and it seems' to prove that the new boat has not been imoroved to any ef SSd Is still inferior to the challenger of INDEPENDENCE IS MEASURED. Well Under 90 Feat on the Water Line, She Will Get About 44 Seconds From Constitution. Newport, R. July 5 The racing measurements ot the Lawson SO f'ooter, Independence, were taken to day by Joan Hyslop, the official measurer of the New York Yacht Cub. Although the water line length could' only be ascertained approximately, owing to the' rough water, It was found that the Boston boat was floating on practically an 89 foot water line and that her racing length was 103.35 feet.

This means that Constitution will have to allow Independence about 44 seconds in a thirty mile race." On the basis of the measurement of the Columbia, made on Wednesday, the Boston boat Will have to allow the old racer 33 seconds in the same distance. The result of Mr. Hyslop's calculations on the Independence were as follows: Water line, 89.1G feet; sail area, 13,817 square feet; square root of sail area, 17.34 square feet; racing length. 103.35 feet. The racing lengths of the other yachts are: Constitution, 104.73; Columbia, 102.30.

Some changes are to be made in the trim of the Columbia this afternoon, whi will nepessltatp a new measurement by Mr. Hyslop before she goes out for to morrow's race, and possibly her figures may be slightly changed. It was extremely, gratifying to Mr. Crown inshield and others en board Independence to find the yacht so well under the ninety foot water line limit, especially as more than a ton of lead was taken aboard just before Mr. Hyslop began his measurements.

None of the three racers went out this mornlpg, althpugh the, Constitution hoisted her mainsail and No. 3 club topsail. Preparations for a spn were also made on Independence as soon as Mr. Hyslop had finished, but it was near dinner time when he left the boat, so the sail was postponed until afternoon. Charles Francis Adams, 2d, of Boston, one of the best amateur yachtsmen in the coun? try, will have charge of the Independence during the races here, although Mr.

Crown inshield, who is a cousin of Mr. Adams, Will be abpard and have an eye over everything. YANKEE JOCKEYS WIST.

The father of submarine navigation, says the London Graphic, may be said to be Cornells Drebbel, philosopher and scientific inr ventor, who early in the seventeenth century constructed a submarine vessel that was successfully navigated under the Thames from Westminster to Greenwich.

Therefore at the Present Juncture, when the idea of penetrating the depths pf the sea by means of submersible craft has become so sensational and interesting to the public, some Particulars of the life of this remarkable man and. of his wonderful submarine boat may be furnished. Drebbel was born at Alkmaar, Holland, in 1572, and appears to have made a name for himself by reason pf his Inventive and scientific genius. In the year 1606 or thereabouts he came to England and was given lodgings In Eltham Palace by Jamej3 who took a great interest in his experiments. After sojourning in this country for" a' period of six yeqrs, during which he claimed tq have discovered perpet1 ual motlonj "he proceeded to Prague to take up the post of tutor to the young Prince of Austriaan office whch he filled so well that he was afterward chosen councilor to the Emperor Ferdinand II, and honored with a rich salary, in 1620 Prague was captured by the Kng of Bohemia, and Drebbel, with sevr era members of the imperial council, was Imprisoned and sentenced to death.

From this fate he was rescued by the personal rep? rcscntations of the King of England, and at his rlea8e prqmptly returned to this country. It was shortly' after his second arrival In London that Drebbel constructed hs wonV derful impermeable submarine boat, in which twelve rowers and some "passengers could stay. This vessel appears to have embodied the princjple common to all modern submersible cfraft namely, of the water ballast compartments, with pumps for emptying them, to' restore bupyance. Respiration was obtained by rhean of a wonderful liquid invented by Drebbel himself, and" called "quintessence, pf air." 'This liquid had the properties "of purifying and regenerating vitiated air. 'In lhs boat also, "a person could see under' th'e surface of the water, and without candle light, as much as he needed to read "in the Bible or any other book." and It Is supposed that the" Interna illumination was provided' by means of phosphorescent substances If the accounts p'f the matter are'eoprect Drebbel submerged and'.

navigate ed hs boat Itoih Westminster to Greenwich, a 'distance of four miles. After this Jarnes I was anxious to test the apparatus for himself, hut eventually dissuaded by his courtiers, whq believed the Inventor was In league with Old Nick. Drebbel jealously guarded the secret of his invention, and died in 1634, without having been able to perfect it. The fate p'f boat is a mystery. BEEEBEES APPOINTED.

All Hands Credit the Leanders With a Well Earned Victory on the Thames. THE OARSMEN INTERVIEWED. Pennsylvanians Paddled Slowly Their Ploat and Took a Plunge in the River. to Henley, July 5 After their terrific struggle against Leauder, the Americans paddled slowly to the raft and took tbeir boat out of the water. Their appearance ipdicated that they had a hard fight.

Stripping as quickly as possible the Pennsylvanians were sppn in the water for a swim. Stroke Gardiner smiled as he greeted a representative of the Associated Press, saying: "We did not think it; but they were too strong." Then he plunged into the water, while his brother, sitting on the bath steps, watched the minute pass that he remained under water. But Gardiner popped up quickly and groped his way to the resting board. Ten minutes later all the crew were' out" again, and while "Bob" Cook of Pennsylvania and scores of other friends came to express 'the'ir sympathy, the crew cheerily declared they had given the Leanders all they had and had never rowed In better fpnn. Dr.

White said the crew came through tbe ordeal as fine as possible, and Captain Flick wer said that. the crew' did splendidly. "I don't think there was any one man worse than any other," tb.e coxswain said "pur start was not as good as yesterday, yet it was a fair start. The wind was much agaiueit us, and in trying to avoid puffy gusts I was afraid that I might foul Leahder. We were rowing about forty all through, as ngar as I could gauge.

We led a bit up to the end of the island, but at Pajyley they led us by a few feet and we were never able to regain it." "It was simply a matter of a better crew," declared both Hart and Ward. "We think we have done better than any other American crew and, though beaten by the best crew In England, we did everything we expected, except win." The Pensylvanians came down to the water side for the first time this afternoon and enjoyed the novel experience of seeing the other crews. All the men seem in good form, in spite of the disappointment of the morning. "We lunched at the Leander said Gardiner, "but we preferred to come out and get a little comfort from some of our home people. You know the feeling.

We cannot disguise our regret and, while we have been beautifully treated, we have little heart for pleasure. "What was I thinking about during the race? Well, my attention was concentrated on Leander most of the time. IMPOSTORS AMONG ANIMALS. Moths and Other Insects Which Most Successfully Imitate' Their Environment. William Morton Wheeler, professor of zoology in the University of Texas, has an Illustrated article in the July Century, on the subject of "Imposters Among He saj's: The Shakspearean conception of the human world as a stage may be to include the animal world as well.

Like ourr selves, animals enter pn the struggle for existence with a modicum of equipment in figT ure, complexion, vqlce and demeaiipri and with the assignment of a definite role to play in the melodrama of life. Hence we are not surprised to find that many of our four, six ana eight footed competitors have, figuratively speaking, attained to proficiency in the art of imposition while enr deavorlng to gain a foothold in the world, 1. the opportunity pf feeding, mating and leaving offspring to repeat the same perr formance continuously. It must have been some such reflection as this which led Henry Drummond to remark that "Cariyle in his blackest visions of 'shams and' humbugs' among humankind never saw anything so finished in hypocrisy as the naturalist how finds in every tropical forest. There are to be seen creatures, not singly, but" in tens of thousands, whose every appearance, down to the minutest spot and wrinkle is an affront to truth, whose every attitude is a pose for a purpose, and whose whole life is a sustained lie.

Before these masterpieces of deception the most ingenious of human impositions are vulgar and transparent. Fraud is hot only the great rule of life in a tropical forest, but the one condition of it." Drummond's statements are perhaps a litr tei misleading Without' some qualification, for animals are not impostors in the ordinary sense of the term, since they are, of course, perfectly unaware of appearing under a deceptive disguise. Moreover, what is true of animal life in the tropic is also, in great measure, true of animal life iii other regions of the' globe. In the development of deceptive disguises disguises which affect the form, attltudq. and color, but largely the color, of animals nature appears to have proceeded along two different paths, one of which is direct and relatively easy, the other circuitous and much more difficult.

The easy path, which may be considered first, Sa that of protect tive resemblance pure and simple, i. an approach in the animal's form, color, arid attitude to some object in the surroundings. Such an approximation can hardly fail to be of the greatest advantage, since the animal thereby merges so completely With Its envlrr onment as to pass unobserved by Its enemies or by its prey. This alternative has led in two directions, to a defensive and an aggressive form of resemblance. Every sportsman has been deceived by the close resemblance of birds and other animals to the soil and vegetation.

It would bo easy, moreover, to show that many reptiles, frogs, and fishes, and very manjt of the lower animals, exhibit similar adaptations. It is also well known that some of these creatures, like the chameleons, many tree frogs, cuttle fishes, and shrimps, can actuallv change their colors to make them harmonize with the exact tints of the vegetation or soil on which they are living. But no animal can compare with the insects and spiders In the detailed perfection of their protective disguises, or in the frequency of adopting this method of eluding enemies or of stealthily'appro'aching prey. This is true notwithstanding the fact that active color changes like those of the chameleon are scarcely known to occur among insects. Many of the most striking examples of protestice resemblance among Insect's are the result of the very intimate association of these animals with the flora of our planet: Especially is this true of insects which live exposed on the vegetation.

There is really no portion of the plant excepting Its roots and fruits whic is not copied by soinp insect, often with the most astonishing faithfulness" to details. Hosts of' mqths copy the rough lichen mottled bark of trees; the walking sticks and looping caterpillars copy the twigs; the green leaves are imitated by the katydids and the marvelous leaf insects (Phylllum) of the East Indies, while the dead leaves are portrayed by many moths and btitterflies. a form of resemblance culminating in the famous Kallirna butterflies of Southern Asia. Striking resemblances to thorns and knots are to be found among spiders and "leaf hoppers" (Membracidae), while even the flowers may be copjed, as" in the case of the pink orchid like mantis (Hymenopus) ot India, and several other species. The roots of plants are not copied because they are not exposed to view, and an attempt to resemble the exposed seed or fruit would be only an invitation to birds to destroy any.

species that' might be so bold as to vary in this direction, T5 WPBKADAY BALLOONIST. True Story of a Boy That Became an Aeronaut. "I happen tp knpw a few aeronauts," writes Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's Magazine, "and among, them a keen, alert, wiry young man that looks" you plumb in the eye when he talks to you a young man that has made upwards of nineteen hundred ascensions in balloons, and owns the gold medal for being the champion aeronaut of America. 1 have held it in my hand. It is a little smaller than my palm weighs something less than a pound.

Let us talk with him about the romantic life. He ought to know. He has been in it since he was eleven years old. "That Is the time in a boy's life when he saves up his pennies to buy an air rifle to go and kill Indians with. This Leo Stevens' folks were connected with Bayerle's Park in Cleveland (now the Forest City Park) and uiat summer there were to be balloon ascensions.

Now, it may be known to you that there are people who not only refuse to see a balloon ascension on a Sunday, but who refuse to let other people see one. This particular Sunday' after the crowd had paid its money at the gate and the professor had his balloon all Inflated and ready to go, a constable stepped up and said he mustn't. The boy was a Oaring boy. He bad climbed upon buildings where they were painting and vvasn't afraid of falling. If he had a knife He whispered to his chum: 'I'll go up If you will'; but Charley shook his head and said 'Huh The boy went to see his father.

'I wish't I could go up in that, there he said. 'Yes, you'd look pretty, wouldn't you? Why, when you're on the launch with me, if she blows off steam you jump out of your skin; pretty near. Oh, no; it takes more herve'n what you've "He never thought for an instant that, the boy wag in earnest, and that while he was talking he was really looking for a chance to get that knife that shot out a blade when you pressed a ring. When he got it he went away and climbed into the basket of the balloon while the professor was talking to the constable. 'He belongs to the park said the professor.

'He ain't got nothing to do with me Hello, "The boy had cut the rope and shot up into the sky. All Ue knew was that when you wanted to come down you pulled the rope to the escape valve. He was so excited and yanked the rope so hard that he broke the rubber bands that hold the valve in place and so came down a good deal faster than he ought to. He fell into a tree and rolled from that into" a canal and swam and waded ashore. 'Scared? Yes, I was.

but not pf fall7 ing. I had on "my Sunday clothes and a new hat. I lost the hat and bne tree ripped my clothes nearty off me. The canal finished them up after that. Ever fall In a canal? Well, it's no place for Sunday clothes, I can tell you that.

What was op my mind more than breaking my neck was what my mothr er would do to me when I got home. I caught it all right. You know those cleaning rods they have for guns. Well, I got one of 'Did she tell you that the next time you would get it worse than 'No. indeed.

There was'nt going to be any "next It was "never again." But the story got into the papers and a man saw it that, was going to have an ascension at Wauseon. only his aeronaut failed to come to time. He called at our house and tried to get bay mother tp ie't me go up again. She wouldn't hear to it, but I got him out Side and told him I knew she was just holding out for a higher price and I told her I was going to run away, anyhow, and he shoved the contract in front of her, and the money, and kept at it till finally she signed it, and there I was in the business, and have been there ever since. 'I didn't cdihe' back home for ten years.

I had learned in the meantime to do high wire walking, and on this return home I was engaged to walk a wire one hundred and fifty feet from the ground at the ends. It was nine hundred feet long, and where it sagged down it was about seventy two feet from the ground. I had six hundred feet of my own cable and the other three hundred feet were spliced on. For a boy twenty one years old I was doing pretty well. I had a manager all to myself, six thousand dollars saved up, good clothes, a diamond stud, and a pair of diamond cuff buttons.

I went out on the wire, walked from end to end, did fancy steps, turned somersets, made believe I was falling, and was just about to do another trick when I waked up in Huron Street Hospital, nineteen 'day's later, with both arms broken, my wristas you see It how, all bulged out as big as a goose egg, both legs broken one of them in two places, and notices of my death of two different dates. The splice had parted. 'They say that when you fall from a height you think of everything you have ever done In all your life that It all comes up before you. It may be so, but in my case I don't remember even falling. I was on the wire one instant and the next instant, so far as I knew, I was in bed at the hospital, asking what the matter was.

And that wasn't the worst of it. When I got out I found that my manager and my money and my diamonds were all gone. I didn't even have a pair of trousers. Well, I try to learn something every day and what I learned then was that I could look after my money without a manager. I got an engagement walking the wire as soon as I was able to get outto tell the truth, a little before I ought to have come out but my nerve wasn't what it had been and I've kind pf got out of that AUSTRIAUTS AFTER TRADE.

Expedition Organized to Tour the World and Exhibit Products. Consul General Carl Bally Hurst writes from Vienna that under unofficial auspices an "Austro Hungarian commercial expedition to Eastern Asia" Ig about to be taken around the world. This expedition has been very carefully organized and is under the leadership of an Austrian merchant, who has resided many years in the Orient. The expedition receives no governmental or other subsidy and is undertaken on a business basis, calculated to render the enterprise a financial success. This is the second venture of the kind made under the same management, and, as the first was profitable, this expedition, improved in equipment and traveling further afield, bids fair to bring in substantial material returns for the participants and to open for Austrq Hungary markets where this country is now unrepresented, as well as to introduce goods into lands where Austro Hungarian agencies already exist, but where other countries have a monopoly.

The expedition is to start in June, stopping on its way in New York and in San Francisco, and make exhibits at the following places: In Japan, at Yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki; in China, at Tientsin, Shanghai, Canton and Hongkong; in Siam, at Bangkok; in the Straits Settlements, at Singapore and Penang; In Sumatra, at Medan Deli, Palem bang, Padang and Kota Radja; In Burma, at Rangoon; in India, at Calcutta, Madras nd Colombo; nd further on, at Aden, Suez and Port Said. The expedition will aim to carry samples of Austro Hungarian manufactures, to exhibit them in suitable places and to take orders; to collect samples and price lists of salable articles abroad arid submit them to manufacturers In Austro Hungary Interested in such articlee; to extend the relations with transoceanic firms begun during the first Austro Hungarian expedition in 1899 1900 and possibly start its own' commercial establish.
