A POS&BILITY OF ELECTRICITY.
la Gaa Be Caed as aa Adjaact ta
BaUarara aad Greatly Aid the PeeaOe.
Assuming the commercial success of
the use of electricity as a motive power
for running street cars, it seems to us
thai the time is soon coming when not
only what is called the rapid transit prob
lem will in this way receive a satisfac
tory solution, but also a settlement will
be given to some of the now vexed social
problems which spring out of the conges
tion of population within the narrow
lisaits of a great city. There is clearly
no need of crowding people together in
tenement houses, provided a means can
be found of giving them ample room to
live in within reasonable distance of
those places where they carry on their
daily work. At the present time a very
considerable number of those who are
employed in the workshops, stores and
offices of this city live either in the
suburban wards of the city or in some
of its surrounding towns; but the num
ber of those so living would be greatly
increased if the country within a circuit
of ten miles of the city hall could be
reached in a relatively short time and at
a small expense.
Settlements are apt to grow up in the
immediate neighborhood of the subur
ban stations of our various railway lines,
and the demand for land in the vicinity
of these is sufficiently intense to carry
the price up and prevent those of humble
aseans from buying land and owning
homesteads. Between stations, or a mile
or two.distant from them, there ore in
most instances large quantities of Iar-1
which could be purchased at very lew I
prices; but the obstacle in the way of j
the purchase of land so located by those
who are compelled' to come each day to
the city to earn their living is that the
time occupied in going to and coming
from work, and the inconvenience in
supplying daily wants, more than offset
the cheapness of the land and its desira
bility as the place upon which to build a
house and bring up a family.
Now, it seems to us that it is the fu
ture destiny of electricity to make such
locations as these and in quantity of
,laad they arc of enormous extent read
ily available to those who would benefit
by purchasing them. That is, it seems
to us that the time is soon coming when
the companies which own the steam rail
toad lines leading out of Boston will find
it for their benefit to construct one or
more electric street railways from each
of their suburban stations. These rail
ways can be built out into the country
at each station, two or three miles on
each side of the track, at a relatively
mall cost. Motive power can be sup
plied to them from a central station lo
cated at the point in Boston which would
be most convenient to the company;
while the cost of maintenance would be
practically confined to one, or at most
two, men for each car which was put in
service, with such few electricians as
might be found necessary. The com
pany could then arrange to run these
cars in connection with its regular trains;
in short, at a relatively small expense,
these companies could extend their sys
tems, so far as the transportation of pas
sengers was concerned, several miles on
each side of their tracks.
The electric railroad would be simply
aa extension of ihe regular road. The
passenger leaving the main station at
Boston would be carried first to the
suburban station, and then, by an imme
diately connecting electric car, to within
a short distance of his home, which
might be two miles or more from the
suburban station, and this in a short
space of time and by commutation tick
ets at a low price. In this way the rail
road companies would add immensely to
their suburban patronage, and, by the
very immensity of this traffic, could af
ford to do it at what would seem to be
exceedingly low prices. Any one who
will but ride through the district we have
referred to, within the circuit line of ten
stiles from Boston, going up hill and
down lull, across thousands of acres of
unoccupied land, will quickly appreciate
the force of what we liave been saying,
and the great advantage that would un
questionably result both to the railroads
and to their patrons by improvements of
this kind. Boston Herald.
A ffcMimwfc. AERONAUT'S NERVE.
H Carried
er Safely Threogh
a Period
of Awfal Peril
Fully 1,200 persons assembled at Jack
son Mound park yesterday afternoon to
witness the balloon ascension and para
chute jump by Miss Dessa Garrett Miss
Garrett is a small but compact and well
knit woman, and of light weight, and
this fact, as it proved later, saved her
from a frightful fate.
At 5 o'clock the monster balloon w j
fully inflated, and the eager throng of
sightseers mounted benches and tables
to get a good view of the start. The
ropes were released at a given signal,
Professor Robinson cried "All readyr
and up shot the aerial ship, with its oc
cupant hanging to the trapeze bar. Up
mat the balloon till the aeronaut could
hardly be distinguished, and a hush set
tled on the crowd below as the awful
ooasequence of a fall from that dizzy
height presented itself to their minds.
Many of those present bad opera and
laid glasses through which they viewed
vary movement of the balloon and its
snanant
A height of fully 5,000 feet was at
attained and the balloon com-
, to slowly descend, and still Miss
Garrett did not make the leap. She was
seen to attempt to puil the parachute
toward her, but something wa evidently
wrong. Aa the balloon descended tba
parachute expanded, and whan about
4,000 feet from terra firma Mias Garrett
let go of the bar of the balloon aad in-
beraelf to the parachute. Tba
however, did sot detach itself
i balloon, aad tha two continued
aiawfj to descend. A -few were heard
i they saw tha apparently
safe descant, that it waa dona
by ataarrangesaeat, aad that the aero-
aasjtaW sot intend to make the jaaap
wham aha made tha ascent.
8aeh people and the crowd gaaarauy
wara not aware that Miss Garrett waa,
by very reason of the parachute aot de-
ia aaoat deadly peril of
toatoaav Fxejteaor ScV
mson snew re, ana nis cneex oiancnea
as ho awaited the threatened catastrophe.
Mr. J. J. Hogaa was aware of It, .and
went into the ticket office to avoid see
ing what he thought was inevitable. So
also did afew others who knew enough
of the relation the parachute bore to the
balloon to be aware of what result aright
be expected.
The parachute is fastened with a cord
to thft side of the balloon. In one place
the cord is almost cut in two, and when
the aeronaut places bis or her weight in
the parachute the cord is broken at the
weak spot and the parachute is. freed.
In yesterday's ascension the cord became
twisted, thus giving it double strength,
and when Miss Garrett swung outon the
parachute the jerk was insuSdent to
part the line. It was at thk juncture
that the danger was' most imminent.
The cord being attached to the side of
the balloon the weight on it caused it to
careen, and a puff of smoke was seen to
issue from it. It turned half over, but
no further. Had it turned a few feet
further, had the lady's weight been a few
pounds greater, it would have capsized.
It was immediately over the para
chute; had it capsized it would have col
lapsed, and its weight of 300 pounds
would have come down on the para
chute, and in a few seconds later Miss
Garrett would have been dashed to the
earth. The danger was not over till the
balloonist was in jumping distance of
the ground, but she made the descent in
perfect safety about a mile south of the
park.
' Miss Garrett fully understood her aw
ful position as she hung suspended in
midair, uncertain at what moment she
would be dashed to pieces, but she is
true grit, and never faltered. She knew
that all she could do was to hang on and
hope for the best, and she hung on and
was saved where a weaker woman's
heart would have failed ber, and she
would have fainted and met an awful
death. Memphis Avalanche.

The manufacture of oatmeal from oats
is very different from the weiring of
flour from wheat. The cleaning process
es in the first place involve much more
labor and require more time and machin
ery, the oat kernel being incumbered
with its hull, and more bulky and diffi
cult to separate from foreign substances.
After cleaning and before hulling, the
oats are dried by heat, an operation de
manding still more special machinery,
and requiring time and careful attention.
After drying they are cooled and sent to
the hullers. These are stones with a
sliarp grit, and the hulling process must
be carefully managed, as it is important
to avoid breaking the kernel. Good ma
chinery is required for all these opera
tions. In preparing the meal from the
kernels the rolling process has almost
entirely superseded the former method
of steel cutting, as the rolled meal may
be cooked much quicker, requiring less
than one-quarter of the time needed for
the cut meal. Good Housekeeping.
BeBgfct aa Ancestor.
The Washington correspondent of The
Philadelphia Record writes; "There is a
noble old manor house on an estate not
far from Washington, recently purchased
by a rich Washingtonian. The other day
he asked a party of friends down to see
it, and proudly displayed its attractions
till they all exclaimed with delight de
light all the more keen because every
thing was more or less dilapidated. When
he had exhausted the house and the gar
den, he said to his guesta: 'I bought an
ancestor with this place. Come and let
me introduce you to him.' So they all
followed him to a secluded spot in the
grounds, where they found a fine old
marble vault built into the hillside. The
host opened the rusty iron door, and they
all passed into the cobwebby dyi-Winca,
Presently they made out on the left hand
shelf a skeleton lying at full length, with
a tiny snake's nest in the breastbone.
'That's Col. Plantagenet,' said the host,
'who built the house and this tomb.' "

One of the many interesting legends
which are connected with the different
parts of Mt. Desert Island is the story of
the battle of Norwood's Cove. In the war
of 1812, two British frigates, the Dolphin
and the Tenedos, chased an American
schooner into Southwest Harbor. Not
being acquainted with the waters, the
frigates dared not follow, but anchored
just outside of Greening's Island, while
the schooner sought refuge in Norwood's
Cove, behind the forest crowned ridge.
The British dispatched two barges with
nearly one hundred men to capture the
schooner, compelling an American sea
man to act as pilot. Meantime a large
band of fishermen and farmers had se
creted themselves in the woods on the
southern shore. When the barges had
approached within musket ahot, the pilot
sprang to his feet, shouting, "Give it to
'em, boys; don't mind mer upon which
the Americans opened a murderous fire,
which soon compelled the British to re
treat with tha loss of almost the entire
crew of one of the barges. Lewiston

The vineyard snail is held in great es
teem in southern Europe. It is by no
means uncommon in England. At one
time it was believed to have been im
ported by tlie Romans; while another
theory held that it was introduced about
the Fifteenth or Sixteenth century. It
is undeniably common in the vicinity of
old Roman camps: But it is frequent
also on chalk and other dry soils, and
the opinion now generally entertained is
that the Helix pomatia is a native Brit
ish species. The rulers of the world
were nevertheless its especial patrons.
Not content with eating it stewed in
every form, they fattened it in cochlearia,
or styes, meal boiled in wine being re
garded as the food best fitted for pro

In the spring of 1739 several families,
residents of Gloucester, Mass., came by'
vessel to North Yarmouth, then by an
Indian trail to New Gloucester. They
built a log house on the northern side of
Harris hill Then in succession they
erected seven others in the vicinity,
cleared eight pieces of land containing
about twenty acres, which was in part
planted to corn and potatoes and tho re
mainder sowed to rye, and hewed a frame
for a sawmill. Thus began the settle
ment of the present town of New Glouces
ter. In the fall they built a granary, hi
which to store their crops, and dug a
potato hole for the s-ifety of the potatoes
from the frost.
Sept. 4, all of the settlers gathered to-,
getherand had a liarvest dinner. The
rye and com turnisneu oread, the
brooks and pond provided fish. The
woods supplied the game. Salt was pro
cured from North Yarmouth. They had
become self supporting. The dinner waa
the first which had been produced from
their laud. The salt was paid for from
the furs which they had trapped on their

coarse meal with a much better relish

on that number is interesting. One of
them once guessed the number of shot in
a jar about tbe same size as the one con
taining the type. There were 95,000. He
thought there were one-third as many
type as shot, and so divided 95,000 by 3,
and he said, "added a little to make it
even." The other man saw a crowd
around the jar, and felt in his pocket for
x pencil with which to write his number.
He couldn't find one, and moved on; but
afterwards, feeling strongly impelled to
make a guess, felt again for a pencil,
and found an old lottery ticket, on
which was the number 34,200. He bor

A hardy apple tree, loaded with ripe,
luscious fruit, growing from the crevices
of a rock, is a curiosity which has at
tracted the attention of visitors to Fair
mount park --'through the CaQowhOl
street entrance this summer. The tree,
which is very large, shoots up from the
crevice of the rocks blasted to form the
pool for the pumping at the Fairasouat
waterworks.
The apples on tbe tree are the beauti
ful rosy cheeked, yellow variety, aad
from, their quality and sise it would ap
pear that there was some rich source of
sustenance, though none is varfhle from
any point of view, the roots being faaia
ly seen dinging to- the rocky walls,
shooting ia oae crevice aad out of an

after day, to procure specimens of the!
fruit, but the Isolated position of tbe
tree has thus' far saved it from their
