BI114 aa SHIP WREATHED 'A ELECTRICITY. Bemarkabl Storm Through Which an Ocean Teasel Becently Pawed. 1 One of the most remarkable electric b forms at sea, which probably seemed intensified by reason of the fact that J a cargo of Spanish iron ore passed through it, was experienced by the Brit ish steamship Mercedes, which arrived at this port the other day from Bilbao, says the Philadelphia Record. On the Grand banks of Newfoundland during the nights of December 3 and 4 the ocean appeared like a mighty mass of flume or an endless stretch of prairie fires. Balls of electrical fires hissed nd exploded in all directions and dart ed among the vessel's masta and rig g ing. The Mercedes' escape from going down on December 1 seemed little short cf a miracle. She was struck bj a south west gale, which was accompanied by seas rolling high. During the height of the storm a huge deck derrick, weigh ing many tons, was torn loose from its fastenings and swept overboard, leav ing a hole in the vessel's deck, through which the water ran into the cargo. In its course it carried away the main top- riast, which was also of iron; part of the flying bridge, the after winch, and part of the deck fittings. Soon after ward the storm partly-subsided, when the electrical fire appeared in all direc tions. It hung in big balls for two nights from the masts and fore and aft stays, and practically turned aightinto day. As the big fireballs came together they would burst with a loud report upon the vessel and disappear. Under this light at night such temporary re pairs were made as were deemed neces sary to reach port. DANGEROUS LIGHTS. Oculists Protest Agatnat the TJae of Elec tricity with Plain Globes. An English paper states that London oculists are up iu arms against the ery serious danger to the community caused by the electric light. Several eminent eye doctors are agreedn the point that unless a stop is putto the exposure of uncovered electric lights in the streets and in shops and offices nearly all the population will become blind. Experts are so greatly exercised in the matter that they even suggest that parliament should take it up and prohibit the use of plain glass globes for electric light unless they are prop erly shaded. Commenting on this, a London electrical journal says: "It is not customary to look at the sun, and not even the most enthusiastic electri cian would suggest that naked arcs end incandescent filaments were ob ject to be gazed at without limit. But naked arc lights are not usually placed so as to come within the line of sight, and when they do so accidentally, whatever may result, the injury to the eye is quite perceptible. The filament of a glow lamp, on the other hand, is more likely to meet the eye, but a frosted bulb is an extremely simple and common way of entirely getting over that difficulty. The whole trouble can easily be remedied by the use of prop crly frosted or colored glass globes. in any case, however, the actual perma' nent injury to the eye by the glowing n lament is no greater than that due to an ordinary gas flame." CM'ionlNQ A ihhTAR. The Brave and Effective Resistance of an Intended Victim. Highway robberies, even under mod ern name of "hold-uns." which alters nothing of their character, have become decidedly rare In tire far northwest; and they are likely to become still rarer if all intended viutima moke ns brave and effective resistance a did a grocer of rainier, Washington, recently. This grocer, whosee name is Hubert, etartod from Rainier with h;s wugon one night to go toTncoina to buy goods, With him was a 13-ycar-oltl V:oy. He carried $100 to pay for his purfl'.ases, While he was about two miles from Pov and on a lonely road two highway men stepped out, confronted the grocer pitphcd a pistol into his fnce, and com mnntled him to dismount and hand over liia money. Hubert had no not'on of giving up the money, but he did not waste any time in thinkimr up a plan for beating the rob bers, lie began to get clown from the wiigon as if to comply, and a. he did so he struck the luacal who held the pinto a terrible blow which felled him to the ground. Hubert then enme down with one heavy foot upon the wrist of the hand which held the revolver. While the robber was in thiapoaition the grocer snatched the weapon away from him and pointed It ot the other l-nscal. It turned out that the second roblicr hod no pltttol. Hubert com1 nrandcel him to put up hit hnndi, which he did. Meantime the first man waa lnenl hie from the terrible blow which Hu bert had dealt him. Hubert made the second hold up hi hands for ten mln ute. until the firt had recovered hi arnaea. Then he commanded the first to get up, and told them both to march hlch they did. Thua the grocer took them both into the town of Hoy, the boy driving close behind with the borac and wagon At Hoy the thwarted highwaymen were turned over to a con table and locked uo, and the g "ow wi'. on hi way to 1 aconua.

I Many of Them Uaexl Durlngr the Siege Of Paris, ' A. Excellent Method of Getting TVHhln the Enemy's Llnea BaUoonloK Ba Since Become an Important Branch of Military Study. , The last big European war taught the. French more about ballooning than they vould otherwise have learned in a generation. At the begin ning of the war the government re jected many proposals from balloon makers to construct a number of war balloons, but when they were shut up in Paris they gladly turned to the bal loon to help them. They turned all their disused stations into balloon factories, and sought the services of the few experienced aeronauts then available for the teaching of the use and manegement of the balloori to the leople. During four months 66 bal loons left Paris, of which number only three have never been accounted for. This is remarkable when it is remem bered that no lights were allowed in the night ascensions, and the balloons could only be sent up under cover of darkness. One hundred and sixty persona, in cluding Gambetta, were carried safely over the Prussian lines, and 2,500,000 lettersweresent. Theballoonsalsotook with them pigeons, which were sent back to Paris with letters and dis patches. The messages were written and photographed down very small on exceedingly thin paper, lhis was rolled up, inserted in a quill and at tached to the tail feathers of the pigeon. When it was received in Paris the photograph was put under a mi croscope and the message read. One of the balloons, the Ville d'Orleans, left Paris at 11 o'clock at night, and nrrived near Christiana, Norway, 15 hours later, having crossed the North sea in its remarkable voyage. Most of the aeronauts were sailors, who were chosen because of their familiarity with the management and steering of boats at sea, and they proved very ca pable. During the entire siege bal loons formed the only means of com munication with the outside world for the imprisoned inhabitants, and noth ing could bave taken their place. Since then ballooning has been made an important branch of military study, and the course through which the bal looning corps has to pass is becoming daily more scientific and severe. The war balloon must be compact, always ready for action, and very strong. It is not large enough for two. It is always aptive that is, it is secured to the earth by a cable. . It iB seldom emptied of its gas, and is, therefore, always ready for action at a moment s notice. The equipment of a balloon corps, be sides the; balloon itself, consists essen tially of two wagons, one large and heavy, somewhat resembling a lum ber truck, and the other considerably smaller. The former is used to fasten the balloon to, and is provided with large reels containing about 2,000 yards of twisted wire rope. The smaller wagon is filled with iron pipes containing gas, and is technically called the "tube wagon. At the word of command the balloon, always inflated, is released, and bounds upward to the height of several hun dred feet, uncoiling, the rope after it. I he officer in the car takes up with him maps of the surrounding country and a field gluts. The position and arrange ment of the enemy are marked dowp on the maps with different colored (lencils, indicating cavalry, infantry, etc. These marked mnps are then placed in a leather bug, which is at tached to a ring, which slides down the cable to the ground, where a mounted officer awaits it, and curries the mes sage to the general in command. Other means of communicating the informa tion huve been tried, such as by tele phone and phonography, but many officers atill cling to the colored pen cil method, which, they ay, i very uire and effctlve.

THE LIBRETTO. It Is the Moat Important Part of an Opera. First and foremost the compostT must provide himself with a good li-' bretto.says the Fortnightly Review. Ou this we should say-roundly the who! fortune of the piece depends. A good libretto will make amends for bad music, but good music will never make amends for a bad libretto. . If the li bretto is light the music need notnecps sarily be flimsy. Indeed, we can prom- . ise the composer that he may indulge his most recondite vein at times with out danger, and throughout the operti may write his very best and most val ued music. The libretto will correct. him when ho is inclined to prose and become tedious. It will keep him from tripping; it will be his salvation if he has any theories. Whatever he doea the opera will succeed only provided that he has a good libretto. In the second place he must provide himself with a good libretto. On this we should say roundly the whole for tune of the piece depends. The best music of the world, which sounds ele gant and even sublime in the concert room, if by any means it could be trans muted into the music of the theater would fall flat and meaningless if linked with a bad libretto, so inextricably ari the two intermingled so important Is a good libretto to the composer.
