going from Rochester to Bradford, Pa.,
where he was to Rive a performance
that evening. At Ellicotvllle, Cattarau
gus County, it was found that he was
ill. A physician was called, but Herr
mann was dead before he arrived. Up
to that time he was in the best of
health, having played In Rochester the
night before. Heart trouble was the
cause of death.
The name of Herrmann in connec
tion with conjuring is over a century
old, the art having been passed from
father to son and from brother to broth
er. Alexander was born In Paris HO
years ago. Ills father was a distin
guished German physician, but his
knowledge of magic equaled that of
medicine. His oldest son, Carl, 25
years the senior of Alexnnder, became
famous as a magician when the latter
was but a child, and he taught his
brother. At 11 the pupil was more
clever than the master and nt 14 he
made his debut before the Queen of
Spain. Early In the '00s Alexander
came to this country and here he had
since lived, being naturalized In 187li.
He made three tours of the world am
pnke Spanish, German, French, Chi
nese and Russian as well as English.
He made and lost fortunes, built anil
sold theaters and at the time of his
death owned a villa and park on Long
Island, several horses and a fine steam
yacht. He belonged to over 100 clubs
iu Europe and America. , '

crest of a hill. The bullet went straight,
and the deer plunged forward and fell.
Mr. Stover laid bis rifle down and has

pose of cutting Its throat. Just us lie
reached the deer and leaned over to
apply the knife, the animal leaped to
his feet and glared at Mr. Stover.
Instantly the man seized the beast
hy the horns. This action terrified the
huck. He made a plunge, and down
Hie steep sides of Devil's canyon he
went, carrying the r.inu with him on
his antlers. The deer was madly
frightened, and Mr. Stover was more
scared than the deer. He could not
turn loose, and nway went man and
animal, over rocks, bushes and briers.
When near the bottom of the canyon
the deer fell against a tree, and before
he could get up, Mr. Stover grabbed a
large piece of quartz rock and killed

A NOVELTY IN SAILS
How to Increase a I'alloon's KftV-ctive-nem
Over Fifty Per Cent.
This manipulation of the sail area. In
sails of yachts especially, marks a very
great improvement in the old system 1
of balloon and straight-doth sails'. This
sail of Mr. W. s. Simpson has. at the
first view, the appearance of a sail di
vided into a series of equal squares,
like a draught board, every other
square containing a hoh in the center
about one-tenth the size of the square,
and the intermediate squares loose
pieces of canvas tacked at the comers
to the sail containing the holes. Now,
the effect of the wind on the surface of
this arrangement is this: the wind
strikes the sail at any point of the will
ing iu the ordinary manner, but es-,
cap through the holes, and is met by
the loowe squares of canvas tacked on
the other side, which are at once dis
tended by the wind. The sail is ex
actly the same construction on both
sides, except that the holes ill the sail
are always covered with a square of
canvas on the reverse side, the same
side as the square containing the hole
on the other.
A yacht, for instance, running before
the wind with this sail arrangement,
will have every other square bellied out
wiui the breeze, and uius the ordinary
flat surface will be increased in area
by fifty per cent.
Such nn Invention as this certainly
heralds a new era in yacht or ice boat
racing, for a yacht thus rigged becomes
one-half more powerful in its speed
powers than before, as the improve
ments in balloon sails have certainly
reached a limit, which, if extended,

might end iu disaster. The extra pow
er of such sails that must arise from
increasing the sail area by one-hall' Is
certainly the most Important feature of
this Invention, anil would, in the case
of a racing yacht entered for a race un
der the ordinary sail measurements,
make it nt once n superior boat against
any other in the race of the same sail 1
measurements entered under the pre '
ent sail area rules.
