Ho had climbed to the top of the Oakland ovenuo light tower , a distance of 150 feet above terra ilrma , for the imrposo of placing now carbons on the burners. When ho ar rived at the top ho discovered that something was wrong with the machinery at the top of the tower , several inches beyond tils roach. He climbed upon the handrail and was at work remedying the defect when the heavy wind that was blowIng - Ing caused the tower to give n lurch , and his foot slipped. Ho shot downwards , nnd hud given himself up for lost , when he suddenly slipped , nnd found his arm had caught upon the rail upon which ho had been standing. Ho climbed to the bottom of the tower as quickly as possible , completely unnerved by the horrlblo experience which ho had crowded Into a few seconds of tlmo.

The cxperiouco of TUB HER CLAIMS IH'iiBAU ' hai brought out the fact that many of Its subscribers do not understand that the Indian depredations net passed by the last congress annulled all previous contracts for collecting claims under it. This Is n fact that they should know for their owa protec tion. When the act w.n signed nil contracts withngcnU were made void by its terms. The holders of claims were then free to mulco such bargains with their njpnts ns they pleased , or could refuse to make any bargain at nil. The framers nf the act found It necessary to take this stop for the protection of the claimants. Atthotimo whoa there seemed little chance that such an net would bo passed hundreds of claimants hau contracted with agents to pay outrageous fens In case the money could bo collected. Cases are known In which Iheclalmtinls Had contracted to give un to the agents over one-half the amount collected. Cases in which one-third was promised were not ut nil uncommon. To nllow these contracts to stand would make the law not an act of Justice , but un net of extortion for the benefit of the claim agents. The clause was inserted annulling nil the contracts , good , bad and indifferent , and limiting the percentage to Do charged bv agents to 15 per cent , wl h an extra f > pur cent allowance for spoulal cases. The claim ugonts naturally objected lo this , asserting that It was bovond the no-vors of congress , but the best opinion of both houses wns that contracts made In collect claims under n law that did not exist could bo annulled in this , manner. On tho-lth of .March , therefore , the claim ants who had signed contracts were as free from obligations to agents as those who had not. If they wore satisfied with tbeiraqenis and wished to slitn a now contract within the limit of compensation fixed by the law , it was their right , but none of them were under any legal obligation to do so. The " moro unscrupulous of "tho agents naturally represented to their clients that they were bound to renew their contracts , with merely the substitution of the terms named by law for the outrageous commissions nt first de manded. Cases have been brought to the attention of Tim UBI : in which this policy had been lollowed successfully by unscrupulous agents. They had in a word bullied the claimants into hiring them when , if the claimants hau understood that they wore free of obligation'they would havu chosen other representatives. As others are being worked upon In the same way , the facts of the case uro set forth for their pro tection. 11 they are satisfied with the mon they llr tchoso they nro right in re-engaging them. If they are 'not satllied , they are free to enpngo an body they choose. Tin : HIB : CLAIMS HUIIEAI ; was established solely for the protection of tlio public.

These who talco aJvantago of its olTcr will save money by it. Tnoso who do not plaeo their claims in its charge will save money , too , for it has put a chock on the ra pacity of the agents who would otherwise feel free to take the last penny the taw al lows.

TIIK Br.i : Dniiuu OF CLAIMS In Washing ton has done a good work for the residents of this suction in attending' to the claims arising under the Indian depredations net. It has saved those who have taken advantage of Its offer from the unconscionable charges of the regular claim niTonta , and has bcnotltcd the others by forcing tlio agents to demand only moderate fees In order to got business. The long delay over the passage of the act had given the claim agent * tlmo to muko con tracts that would give them the lion's share of the appropriation. Many of the claimants had been Induced to < lgn contracts guarantees- Ing the agent from one-third to over f > 0 per cent of the claims in cnso they were allowed , The depredations net annulled those extor tionate contracts and sot tha limit of agents' fees at Ifi per cent , to bo increased in certain cases to 20 per cent on tbo order of tlio court of claims. But so many complaints were made of tbo action of the ngonls , and so many inquiries for u reliable n unt were sent to this ofllee , that It was decide. ) to establish a bureau under the direct I'hargo of Tin : Bin : to pro tect its .subscribers nnd clvo tlium tlio bunc- IIla of the law at the lowest possible uhnrgos. The bureau has > aero than justified its es tablishment. It has attended to the claims of a largo number of the sutToroH by tlio In dian raids in the west. It is doing the work nt fi to 12 per cent , tniting In many instances only the actnnl cost , of pushing the claim. As most of these who lost their property through I he Indian raids are persons of sinnll menus who could nor. gotoVasnlngton themselves the establishment of the bureau where they can bo certain of exact nnd Just treatment has readied these who need it most. The persons who have sulT raJ lo sas from the Indians since Juno 1 , IhliO , will do well to romombcr , however , that the tlmo within which claims can b ? presented Is limited. If they nro not put in within the appointed time they nro forever oarrod. Moreover the court of clahrn goes on tlio plan , "Ilrat como , first served , " nnd it behooves sufforora to place their clal us before the proper authori ties nt an early date. Tno contracts made before the passage of the net have , as stated , been nuniilled by con gress. It Is there fora necessary for claim ants to nmuo new contracts or arrangements with their agents , nud they nro loft free to engage now ucents if they are not satisfied with these they bud--engaged before. This will cmablc them to innko much moro favor ably terms for themselves than were had while the passage of the act was still In doubt. The bureau has received the indorsement of nil tno congressmen and olllciuls who have anything to do with the .subject of claims. A letter from Representative Herman of Oregon , rhnlrinnnoi the committee on Indian dfrrodntinnb. lias already boon published in hch'ilf ' of the bureau , ami similar expressions Imvo como from others.

Tin : Br.i : BI-KIAU : or CI.UMS , in dealing with the claims arising under the Indian depredations act , has been successful in pro tecting n largo number of subscribers nnd others from extortion and loss. From com plaints that have comu to it , hotvovor , It ap pears that many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act. At a tlmo when there appeared to bo little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them , they signed contracts with the Washington agents , promising from ono-qiiartor to one-half the iimuunt to tlio agent In case the money should bo collected. In view of this extortion con- TOSS Inserted a provision in tlio nut annul ling nil contracts ami limiting the ngont's commission to Ifior'JO percent. The claimants all probably understand that the agent's ' commission has bean limited by the law , but munyof ihom , according to their own statements , do not understand that they are free to do as they please nbout employing the agent they lind Ilrst chosen. Thru- con sider that they are still bound to employ the ngont with whom they signed the exorbitant contracts , whether they uro satisfied with him or not. It was the Incnntlon of congress to protect .hem at nil points and they were loft on the > assngo of the act free to do as they pleased md employ whom they pleased. Section ! > of the act iitatcd : "That all sales , transfers or assignments of any such claims heretofore or loroaftor made , except such as have occurred n the duo ( administration of decedents' es- .ates , and all contracts lionMoforo raado for fees und allowances to claimants' attorneys are hereby declared void. There could bo no mistake about-tho moan- ngof this. All claimants had to mnko now contracts with agents after the passage of ho act , and they wore nt liberty to employ any ono they pleased. If they were pleased vlth the zeal and ncti of their first aont hey might make their now contract with lira. If they were dlssatised they might cliooso uny other agent that they pleased. These who have not signed now contracts slnco the passage of the not may profit by his to securi ) much butter terms than they could otherwise got from the ugonts. The 'act that Tin : BKK Hi UK u U doing the worker or tlio bare oxpoiua involved has had a good effect In moderating the charges of all agents o these who know how to protect thorn- elves.

Tlio Methods \ \ liluii iVro Nei-Pflsftry tci Acquire Tlirnt. Ono hoard much of the characteristic features of the hand , rooms have bcoti written to pretty funiinino hands ; us- says Imvo descanted on the opinion as to tlio nature and talent ( or the reverse ) which could bo confidently formed by on o familiar with the reading of what such and such a Ihigor-tlp or such and auch a plain mifrht moan. But what of the foot ? Studied with a little in- sitrht it 1ms just as much character moans as much to the observers ot hu man naluro. Ono drawback , of course , that tlio hand is hound to offer itself undisguised to the notice whereas our present mode of shooing a foot makes it a matter of dill'iuuHy to discover precisely what the outlines of It are , save in a general way. AH the same there are certain details that are patent to the vUnv of any close observer. Taking all things into consideration , lho American foot , on her male or female , perhaps the most satisfa toty. it is not as handsome as the Spanish foot , nor as that of certain Italian beggars who diiiico tlio Tarantella , for a few copppors , on the Minds near Naples , it is not Iu any " -MISO a classic foot , while these bare , brown feet ono may s-eo among Italian and Spanish women of tl.o p-jtiMuit class often aro. It is the modern fool , however , in its best ex pression. For the foot of man and \\oiiian has changed since historic times in a degree of which ono cannot lind a pircllol : in the hand , or in any other part of lho body. Of course , if ono glance at an antique statute , of which the feet are well preserved , ono is' ' imme diately struck with a general symmetry in the member that our civilized foot gear has deformed out of nil cognisance. The other point of dilTaronco pitched upon is the separation of the big too from Hie other four smaller toes. Hut thebo moro obvious dill'oronces are noth ing in I'oiiiiKirison with the subtle dif ferentiation iu general character and expression which has taken place In the foot of the average human being since these days. The foot has grown less noble of mould and look. It Is reason able to hold that the antique foot was trodden upon with moro dignity than the modern foot. Life was more leisurely and costumes were of a sort unconsciously iutising a stateliness and harmony into the movements. Tills htateliness of gait , with the llowing grace of the whole motion , wo still may study in all savage people , and never moro so than in some of the bettor spcuimons of our own Indians. Now , the habitual mode of walking inlltioiiccH the shape of the foot unfailingly ; if not always in ono gener ation , then certainly , by inheritance , in two or three. Life is no longer leis urely , and one's customs are no longer classic. Iu the modern rusli wo do not mind how we walk to a certain destina tion , provided wo "got there. " C'cn- turies of clumsy and grotesque shoeing , runniiiLr through every dovicoof absurd ity , hao further tended to cramp the beautiful muscular freedom of the pris tine foot , to atrophy its elasticity and springiness , to deaden all its articulate- ness. The modern foot is often a moro pudge of lloflh or a bony deformity , out of dr.iwihg in every part. Our idea ! , now , for the feminine foot is that it should be small nnd that it should have n high instep. The lirst part of the desideratum is also quite out of the order of the antique standard , since there the si/.o , relatively to the proportions tions of the whole body , is what wo now , erroneously , should ctill largo. A well formed frame , carried along nobly in a harmonious walk , must rest on a foot of liner proportions than wo now choose to lind fitting for fair women. As to the high instep , undoubtedly it is needful for beauty ; but not moro so than ono or two other foa- turites not tuually thought so important. As to the "nobility" of the foot , it rests ( after making mention of that elasticity , that symmetrical "alivcnoss" of each toe , of each muscle ) upon the length of the toes relatively to the whole foot and upon the curve of the outer sldo of the solo. There never was a really pretty foot , in the classic sense , that had short toes , and there was never a foot that fully satislied the sense of beauty but " was" arched oil lho other side. The inner arch i * far moro common. It exists frequently when the outer sldo is as Hat as a negro's , and in such case it is powerless to give distinction to the foot. With the outer side Hat there is a suggestion of vulgarity or plebeian heaviness and lltibbiiicss. And this is the most ordinary defect of tlio modern fool. Such a foot , next to the beautiful antique foot , looks of the earth , earthy. The other is as winged in its appear ance of lightness and readiness as a messenger of the gods. And often this other lltitnoss is largely in creased by vicious habits of walking. Almost every man , woman and child wears the shoes olT at tno outer rim of the solo and heel. A roprosontalivo In dian would not so wear down his moc casin. And this because the swift , smooth way of stopping , common to sav ages , presupposes the foot bolug sot upon the ground very straightly , the tees scarcely turned out nnd tlio main weight coming upon the ball instead of the heel. Alas , this manner of stop ping has become almost lost to civilisa tion. Wo allmore or less , stop on lho outside of the foot , consequently wo run it ever as wo run over over our boot solos , and our children and children's children inherit Unit thick , Hal , inert outer contour instead of the gentle , del icate arch that natu o intended. An other thing which loads to the llallen- iug process is an incorrect pose in stand ing. Porlmpri to have any occupation that compels you to stand a great deal Is , in itself , an almost inevitable detriment to lho foot from this point of view. With the sagging of lho muscles from fatigue , the weight of tlio body sinks moro and more on the outer part of the solo. Among other ovlls this brings on an enlargement of lho nnklo bono also and a general thickening of the ankle Hut. much of this could lie obviated by culti vating determinedly a habit of standing with the weight on the inner part of the ball of the foot , which effect coulduo al be maintained in walking. The attempt might bo awkward at Hrst. but that would soon bo overcome. If wo wish to have handsome feet wo must modify the hlovonliuoss of our present gait and of the hibltual poses of our heels and lees and ankles. Certain good would come to our dohcondtmts Had wo done so ; and if wo only began early enough In lifo lo touch our foot lightly and straighlly to the ground , Insload of digging our heels into the dust , much better pedal contours would bo ours on reaching maturity. Next in Importance is , of course , the matter of bhaussure. And hare , if you value the shape of your foot ( and of all beautiful things made by nature none is moro lovely than a lovely foot ) , there is no escaping the necessity of wearing only shoos that have been made to order and upon strict measure ment. The individuality of each foot must bo considered ; to fall to do HO Is to BO shoo the foot thai every good point may chance to bo lost and otorv bad ono ponhaps permanently accented. There IH an enormous Hold open to the shoe maker who shall learn to properly dress feminine feet so as truly to better them Dressmaker * have learned how lo "mako" a liguro. Hut the best boot learned how to "mako" maker has not a foot In the truest Bouse. This , morn's the pity , la btlll an undeveloped art Since shoes we must have , In lieu of sandals , they should , at least , bo Intolll- gent shoes. . - ' ' ' ' lOuropn'n Kloclrloiil I0vlill > lf.

A loan art collection nt lho exposition was lighted by a now system , of are lightlug.aftor a fiwhion novcr before ap proached. The system consisted ot shading pictures from the direct rays of light , by the use of yellowish tinted ground glass Illuminated rcllcclors. The system gave that peculiar light to the pictures for which artists have sought so long in vain. Tlio now famous LaufTon experiments of long distance transmission was tested in the p-osenco of the secretary , and gave a current olllcieney of ( iO per cent only , 120 per cent being lost in transmis sion , tlio other twenty' being lost at the dynamos and transformers.

Anolher question was asked whether the exposition management would pro vide board and lodging for the employes of exhibitors at a lixed rale on the grounds or adjacent thereto ? Tlio wtiito- - _ nient was made that at least some ex hibitors would require to move pieces of machinery weighing as much as tOUO pounds , and lho question was asked whether or not this machinery could bo bo moved by the exposition or whotiioe individual exhibitors would have to move it at their own expense , and if so what the probable cost would bo.
