Waiting for Brother William.
A trembling old man entered John
Mulvihill’s saloon in Front street. Said
John:
“Well, Pop, who are you looking for?”
“My brother. Ho is a pilot on the
boat Edward Blunt. lie’ll be here by 2
o’clock. His name is William. He’s
older than me.”
The old man’s name is Edmund John-
son. Twenty-five years ago he was a
policeman in the Tenth precinct. Ho is
71 years old. His brother was drowned
off Sandy Kook so long ago that the old-
est pilot cannot remember the date. Yet
every day “Pop” Johnson walks up and
down Front street cheerfully awaiting
William’s return. Fie is perfectly cane

A Spotted Tribe.
There is a whole tribe of spotted men
and women and children, too, to be met
with in a district on the banks of the
River Purus, in South America. They
live only on the river banks, or in float-
ing settlements in the lagoons. Almost
their whole life is spent in their canoes,
and they are conspicuous by their pecu-
liar skin, which is covered with black
and white spots, and causes many in-
dividuals to look just as if they had
been dappled, so that the spotted man
need not always be a thing of paint and
patch.—New York Telegram.
Struck by Lightning.
Sailors are proverbial for their big
yarns, but they can’t get much ahead of
river men. The other day Capt. J. D.
Parker got hold of Capt. Gibson, and he
said:
“Dave, you re-collect when I was mate
on the Yazoo and that streak of lightning
struck me as I stood near the jack staff,
in that terrible storm, and you all thought
I was dead for sure?”
“Oh, yes, very well; but where did the
lightning go to, anyhow?”
“Why, it went right down into my
boot.”
“And you never were hurt?”
“No, sir, not a bit. I just took my
boot off and poured the lightning out on
the deck.”
And the two worthies went to look at
the weather map.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Appetizing Meal of Rabbits That a
Boa Constrictor Delights In.
Three corpulent rabbits of Belgian
breed were caged in a soap box quietly
awaiting their fate. They were the meal
for which the snake was anxiously await-
ing. He had not tasted meat in four
moaths and his voracious maw yawned
like a bottomless pit for the unfortunate
trio in the soap box. Manager Bell ap-
peared and drew forth one of the rabbits.
After stroking “bunny” on the back for
a moment lie opened the door to the
snake’s den and thrust him in. The huge
boa had coiled himself up in a corner, but
at once roused himself for action. He
was fully twelve feet long, and having
recently shod his winter coat his skin
glistened and shone like satin. He raised
his head a foot or so from the floor and
viewed the first course of his quadri-
annual meal.
The rabbit showed no signs of fear,
but rather seemed to enjoy his new
quarters. The snake slowly lowered his
head and cautiously began to stretch
himself along the side of the den. He
never once took his eyes off the rabbit,
which was still unconscious of his dan-
ger. Suddenly the rabbit began to act
strangely and to cut all sorts of ridicu-
lous capers. He would leap back and
forth over the snake and then rub up
against it, and appeared to be fascinated.
Slowly and stealthily the snake turned
his head about until it was within a foot
of the rabbit’s haunches. Then, quick
as a flash, he darted forward, seized the
rabbit in his mouth and in another in-
stant there was nothing to be seen of the
little animal save the tips of his ears,
which protruded from between the folds
of the snake.
The huge serpent then raised his head
full two feet from the floor, darted out
his forked tongue and hissed horribly at
the motley group watching him. If
there was any struggle on the part of the
rabbit it was not visible. The snake had
him in his awful coils. Then the coils
slowly, but with a strength which was
terrible to look at, began to tighten till
every bone in the poor rabbit’s body
must have been broken. This done the
coils relaxed, and the limp, lifeless body
of the sportive rabbit of a few moments
before lay ready to be swallowed. First
the serpent nosed his victim all over.
The eyeballs of the dead rabbit were
protruding from their sockets, and by
way of beginning the boa licked them
with his tongue. Once more he coiled
about his victim, leaving its head and
shoulders free. Then he opened his
monstrous jaws and, taking “bunny’s”
head therein, began to swallow. Soon
the head and shoulders were out of sight,
and in less than fifteen minutes the hind
legs followed-.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Safety Fastener for Envelopes.
A novel construction of a safety fas-
tener for envelopes is the subject taken
out by an English inventor. His object
is to render envelopes secure against
their flaps being tampered with or the
contents being extracted without de-
stroying the envelope itself.—New York

A Remarkable Shot Destroys the Lemon
Eared Nellie with 75,000 Souls on Board.
“I attended ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ at
the Park theatre the other day,” said
Patrolman Streight to the Ananias club,
“and as I sat in the gallery and watched
Eliza canter across the ice—made of
canvas—just ahead of four or five dogs
that might as well be made of canvas, so
far as caninclogy goes, it brought back
to my mind an incident in my career
that should 1 live to be as old as Magu-
selam”---
“Who?” asked Sergt. Joyce.
“Maguselam, the guy who existed on
a certain earth for 10,000 years. I say,
fellers, if I should live to bis age I shall
not forget it. I can’t remember the
exact date, but it was loss than a hun-
dred years ago that I was in command
of the French man-of-war Sein, and my
mission on the high seas was to look out
for and capture African slave traders.
One moonlight night as we were plow-
ing the swelling Atlantic at the nominal
speed of seventy-five miles an hour the
lookout at the mast head reported a sail
on our Ice quarter. I ordered the helm
thrown down hard and as the huge ship
obeyed the rudder her steel prow killed
nearly 1,200 fish. But we had more at
stake than fish, and we did not stop to
take any of them up. In a short time
we wore headed for the strange sail, and
it wasn't long until from the quarter
deck I could see her plainly.
“The smo1^ stacks of the Sein became
red hot, ami one of them melted to the
decks, but I called for water, and the
ship was saved from destruction. We
did not lessen our speed for a little thing
like that, but continued to split the
ocean open. Soon a long, sinuous black
smoke ascended high above the masts of
the chase. Then I knew what we were
after. Hastily beating the men to quar-
ters I, in the deliberate voice I use on
the Lincoln Lane gang, told them that
there was fun ahead. The vessel 200
miles ahead of us was a slab's dhow, and
for the honor of ourselves particularly,
and France as a matter of course, we
must capture her. ‘And when we do,’
says I, ‘you fellers know your business.’
For two days and nights we chased the
strange craft, aud during that time I did
not sleep a wink or cat a mouthful of
food, I was so excited. At six bells on
the third day we were in shooting range,
and I ordered the ten ton rifle cannon to
be fired. The eighty ton shell fell ahead
of the slaver nearly two miles.
“The effect on the water was terrific.
You notice I said the shell weighed eighty
tons, and as it fell into the ocean it ex-
ploded. The water raised in a solid wall
that was, I should judge, 900 feet thick
to an altitude of 7,000 yards. It made a
hole that you could put the state house,
court house, insane asylum, blind asylum
and Union station into all at one and the
same time—that is, of course, if you had
them there. The slave ship plunged
against, at and into this wall, and then
came a mighty crash—a crash that was
caused, as I afterward learned, by an
island sixty miles distant being washed
from its base by the waves. The ship
penetrating the wall caused it to break
and the upheaved water fell in torrents,
while the slaver teetered on the brink of
the huge abyss for a moment and then
fell bow first into the hole, and the scat-
tered fragments of the broken wall falling
upon her buried her from sight forever.
“In a few hours the sea was calm and
for two months wo cruised in that vicin-
ity, but not a sign of the lost slaver wai
found. Two years after we picked up on
the coast of Zanzibar a water soaked
book that I am satisfied was the ‘log’ of
the lost ship. According to the book the
dhow that we destroyed was the Lemon
Eared Nellie, from New Brunswick, and
she had 75,000 slaves aboard, all of whom
were drowned. I felt so bad about this
that I resigned my place in the French
navy aud got a job on the Indianapolis
police force with more pay and less
work.”—Indianapolis Journal.

When Men Buy Candy.
The writer was talking to Clerk Pea-
cock at the Hoffman house the other day
when a messenger boy came to the desk
and left a package for one of the guests.
The package was from a well known con-
fectioner. Mr. Peacock gave a receipt
for the package, and when the boy had
gone said: “Now, I know that the gen-
tleman for whom that was loft is going
away. I can always tell when a man is
going away by those packages. It is a
sure sign. Mon don’t buy candy for
themselves, and when they get it to take
away with them they always wait until
just before they go. That guest’s room

but he is certain not to remain after to-
night.”—New York Letter.

Collections from banks, bankers and
chants receive prompt attentions-
Aeronauts and others have for some
time past endeavored to produce photo-
graphs from a balloon, and have met
with very considerable success.
It would be difficult to say who was
the first to make photographs from a
balloon, but there is no doubt that M.
Nadar, of Paris, has done more in this
direction than any one else. Some very
satisfactory results wore obtained by liim
by means of a camera attached to the
side of the car.
But the idea of sending a camera
alone up into the air was one that occu-
pied the attention of scientists, for the
reason that it obviated the necessity of
sending up aeronauts and, in conse-
quence, a much smaller balloon would
be required. In the year 1881 my father,
the late W. B. Woodbury, in rented and
patented a balloon camera of ^his kind.
The principal part of the apparatus is a
drum, holding four sensitive dry plates;
this drum is wound up, and by means of
a small electro magnet a catch was re-
leased, and the plates could be brought
into position successively. Thelens was
covered with an instantaneous shutter,
opening and closing the lens in the
1 -250th part of a second. This also was
controlled by a small electro magnet.
The wires connected with these two
magnets, and one for the return current,
were inclosed in the rope that hold the
balloon, so* that the operator on terra
firina, by simply sending a current
through these wires, could work the
movements of the camera as easily as if
it were in his own hands.
HOW THE PICTURE IS TAKEN.
The operation was this: He touched
one button and sent a current to one
electro magnet, which brought a plate
into position. By means of a telescope
the behavior of the balloon could be seen.
Directly it was in a steady position a
current was sent, by pressing anoth er but-
ton, through the second electro magnet;
this released the shutter and the exposure
was made. When the four plates had
been exposed the camera was drawn to
the ground, the plates developed into
negatives, and by means of a magic lan-
tern their image was thrown on to a
screen or large piece of paper. With a
piece of chalk the outlines were sketched
out and the position of the enemy’s for-
tifications, their strength and position,
could at once be seen by all the officers.
From a recent number of La Nature is
reproduced an account of a photographic
kite recently invented by M. A. Balut,
of Enlaure. To the kite is attached a
small photographic camera by means of
a triangular support fixed to the back-
bone. The camera is provided with an
instantaneous shutter actuated by means
of a slovz match. Before flying the kite
this match is lighted, and when combus-
tion has proceeded so far as to set fire to
a small thread it releases the spring of
the shutter and the exposure is made.
AN AERIAL BAROMETER.
Another very novel feature of this in-
genious apparatus is the use of a regis-
tering aneroid barometer attached to
the late so that the operator can find out
the altitude which the kite has ascended
above the ground. This barometer is
combined with a photographic register-
ing apparatus which operates at the
same time as the camera. It is inclosed
in a light, tight box, and the instant
that the shutter of the photographic
camera is released aud the exposure
made an aperture closed by the shutter
is uncovered through the burning of ijhe
match.
At the moment the aperture is uncov-
ered the luminous rays strike the dial
and print the shadows of the two needles
(mechanism and index needles) upon a
piece of sensitized paper with which
the dial is provided. To the thread at-
tached to the shutter, and which gives
the exposure when burned, is fixed a
piece of paper which at the same time
detaches itself and falls to the ground,
indicating to the operator that the ex-
posure has been made. The kite is then
hauled in and the plate developed.
Another curious form of aerial photo-
graphic apparatus is being developed by
a French inventor, M. Denesse. It con-
sists of a photographic camera attached
to a rocket. An umbrella like parachute
is also fixed to the rocket stick. When
fired into the air this is closed, but as
soon as the rocket begins to descend it
opens out, and the whole returns grace-
fully to the earth. In this the camera is
cylindrical in form and has round its
circumference twelve lenses—a sensitive
plate is in the Center. The lenses are
provided with a shutter which opensand
closes instantly on the camera commenc-
ing to descend. It is then drawn back
to the operator by a cord attached be-
fore the firing of the rocket. The prin-
cipal advantages of this form of appa-
ratus are cheapness -of operating and
freedom from risk.—Walter E. Wood-
bury in Cassell’s.

The Profits of Authorship.
I caught one of our best known au-
thors in a confidential mood recently,
and his comments on tho revenue of au-
thorship, which he gave me permission
afterward to print, carry interest with
them. I may add that the name of this
author is one of the most widely known
in American literature today. “Seven
years ago I chose between law and lit-
erature. I had every opportunity to suc-
ceed, at the bar, for through hard study
and my connections a lucrative practice
seemed Open to me. But I turned to
authorship. Today lam what the world
calls a successful author. My last novel
was bid for by three publishers, and my
royalties, 1 am told by my publishers,
are higher than those of the majority of
their writers. I have the pleasure of
hearing my books and name hawked on
the trains when I am traveling, the
newspapers give me from a quarter of a
column to a column and a half reviews.
“But what has literature brought me in
money? Let me open my vest pocket to
you. Here is my actual revenue for
1889, and includes, as you see, royalties
on six of my novels, magazine articles,
etc., and everything is collected. Here
is the total, §2,170.40. Compare these
actual figures to the paragraph recently
circulated in which I am reputed to earn
$10,000 from my pen. Is it any wonder
that the unsophisticated enter literature
with false hopes? Yes, print these facts
if you wish; only, of course, withhold
my name and identity.” I reproduce
here the facts and figures as they were
given tome. I only wish it were pos-
sible, for the sake of those who think
that literature is a bed of roses, to give
this author’s name.—New York Letter.
