Chicago, Oct 81.—Mayor Harrison has decided to become a candidate for the nomination for the presidency on the Democratic ticket next year. The mayor believes the Democratic nominee will have a good chance to defeat Mr. Roosevelt, and that in the event he is successful he will be the logical candidate for renomination in 1908. William Preston Harrison, brother of the mayor, will move over on the West Side and become a candidate tor Congress in the Eighth district, to succeed Charles F. Mahoney. The mayor will gu to the national convention at the head of the Illinola delegation. Incidentally, he hopes to be made national committeeman if he fails to secure the nomination forthe presidency.

CRAFT. | That Built by a Virginia Preacher After Model Seen in Vision. Description of Vessel, Which Inven- ter Declares Umsinkebie, and How He Came to Contrive the Strange Ship. John K. Leedy, a Dunkard preacher, 75 years of age, a native of Rocking- ham county, Virginia, is without doubt one of the greatest believers in dreams that ever lived. Through what he claims to be a divine inspiration he has been enabled to invent the “Leedy un- sinkable ship.” Asked how he had come to contrive the ship, Mr. Leedy replied: “Several years ago, just after one of the big ocean liners loaded with human freight went to the bottom of the At- lantic ocean and all on board were lost, I had a dream. In this dream I talked with an angel. The messen- ger of God painted a large picture ol a ship and commanded me to set about and construct such a vessel for the good of mankind. “I thought but little of the dream until two or three nights afterward, when the angel again appeared and directed me to do as I had been told, and for a second time a large picture of a ship, which was to be my model, was painted. I gave the matter more serious thought on the following day, and for #everal nights thereafter m) dreams were of nothing but the ship. I read my Bible and found certain pas- sages which told me I must get tc work, The result of my labors is what will be known to the world as ‘Leedy’s unsinkable ship.’ “You ask me to describe this great life-saving invention. “The hull is comprised of an outer and inner casing, the inner casing com- posed of copper plates, soldered to- gether, thus making it water and air tight. Between the outer and inner casings from a short distance above the lower deck there is placed a filling oi coal tar or some other suitable ma- terial. The lower deck is composed ot two layers of metal soldered together thus making the hold of the vessel air- tight. “Between the ribs of the vessel and between the outer and inner casings above the lower deck are empty spaces are~ata . tight coverings, and communicating with these spaces are air tubes for sup- plying and compressing air in the spaces, the air being supplied by ar air-compressing engine on the main deck, “On both sides of the ship and out- side of the hull are arranged a series of bags which can be run up and down the sides of the vessel by means of ¢ chain and pulley on each side. Should the ship run on a sand bar or rock these bags may be sent to the bottom of the ship, and there filled with compressed air, thus lifting the ship off the bar or rock, “The coal bunkers and various other compartments about the ship are adapt- ed to be transformed into compressed air chambers at will, so it is seen that, even though the ship should spring a leak of a very serions nature, her bilge pumps and many air chambers would prevent her sinking. Her hold, on ac- count of its air and water-tight con- struction, would be a vast air tank that would be impossible to sink.” TO CROSS OCEAN IN BALLOON. French Sclentists Outline Plan to Drift from Canary Islands to the West Indies, The Paris correspondent of the Lon- don Standard ascribes to three well- known professors a daring scheme to cross the Atlantic in a balloon. They are MM. Reclus, the eminent geographer; Berget, of the Sorbonne, and Capassa, the aeronaut. The scheme has in contemplation a bal- loon of 13,000 cubic meters, with a capac- ity for carrying six persons, a parachute and a lifeboat. Two: of the occupants will be sailors in order that the lifeboat can be manned in case it should be neces- sary to use It. As a result of careful study of prevatl- ing winds, these savants believe it will be best to start from the Canaries in the month of May and attempt to land at Trinidad, British West Indies. They be- Neve the trip will occupy only four or five days. RESCUED BY MEANS OF KITE. Steeple Climber Brought from Peril- ous Position by the Aid of a Boy’s Toy. F. Devillo Sanders, of Belmont, Al- legheny county, Pa., climbed the steeple of the Episcopal church in Genesee, N. Y., the other day to examine the dam- age done by lightning. When he was near the top of the steeple his rope caught so that he could not move up or down, and it was necessary to get another rope to him. The nearest place to Sanders that could be reached was 60 feet below where he was dangling. Ezekiel Willis, a boy, got out his kite and flew it so that Sanders could grasp the string. Then pieces of cord of gradually increasing size were attached to the kite string until Sanders got a rope and came down. i i s E £ E = Would Serve a Good Purpose, A farmers’ trust, says the Chicago Daily News, might cut down the visible supply of trustful farmers that lend joy to the existence of the bunko man.

Wonderfal Propertics of Valuable Gems Disclosed by Rays of the New Discovery. Some particles of radium of the activ- ity of 300,000, the first of the kind seen in New York city, were received a few @ars eso at the American Museum of Natural History and will be placed on exhibition there. The radium is sealed in a small tube one-third the diameter of a lead pencil. This, as well as some of the 7()0),000 activ- ity, has been used by Dr. George F. Kunz, of this city, and Dr. Charles Baskerville, of the University of North Carolina, in connection with the X-ray and the ultra violet light in the exam- ination of interesting properties devel- oped by various substances. The Bemen-Morgan collection, over 13,000 specimens in number, and the Morgan-Tiffany collection of gems, con- taining several thousand specimens, to- gether with some thousands of different diamonds and a number of other gems and minerals, have developed very in- teresting properties The radium. which, through the cour- teous gift of Edward D. Adams, became the property of the museum, to be used in this investigation, has shown that cer- | ~ tain diamonds exhibit a wonderful phos- phorescence when exposed to the rays of this substance, which is retained for a time after the stone is removed; other diamonds do not phosphoresce at all. The mineral willemite, occasionally cut In gem form, exhibited a wonderful phosphorescence and fluorescence; well- astonite, a wonderful phosphorescence. The new gem, kunzite, is one of the most phosphorescent of all the substances ex- amined with this peculiar ray. When the radium was held under it the entire gem assumed a rich orange red glow. The glow of smal! diamonds was clear- ly visible through three and six layers of paper. TO PROBE FOR CA CAUSE. British .Parliament Appoints Com- mission to Investigate Reported Physical Deeay in Lower Classen, The British government has appointed a@ commission to inquire into the alleged physical deterioration of the lower classes in the United Kingdom. Almeric Fitzroy, clerk of the privy council, is the chairman. He is assisted by the former head of the army gym- nastic school, the inspector of reforma- service, statisticians and others, The appointment of the commission was the outcome of a debate in the house of lords during which Lord Meath and the bishop of Nipon drew attention to the terrible conditions prevailing among the poorer classes. The duke of Devonshire, lord president of the council, then admitted that Great Britain's military and indus- trial outlook was seriously threatened and promised an inquiry into the matter. The subject was also brought up in the house of commons by Sir William R. An- son, parliamentary secretary to the board of education, who declared 60,000 children now attendire London schools were |! i ructior The director general of the army med- ical service reports that one man in every three offered as recruits had to be re- jected. The appointment of the commis- sion is hailed with approval by the press. AMERICANS AS TEA-DRINKERS. Statistics of Imports Show Bever- age Is Becoming More Popular in the United States, Americans are apparently becoming greater tea drinkers, for fn 1803 the net imports of that article were 104,632,260 pounds, against 74,374,041 in 1902. Com- pared with the preceding years the im- ports from Japan increased more than 7,000,000 pounds, and there was an in- crease from China of more than 19,000,- 000 pounds. The gross imports of coffee in the fiscal year 1902 were 1.091.004.252 pounds, while in 1903 only 915,066,380 pounds came in. Despite the falling off in imports, which was probably dueto the market havinga large supply on hand, the amount trans- shipped and exported was 47,701,306 pounds, against 34,426,615 pounds in the previous year, says the government offi- cial report. It is interesting to note that the per capita consumption of coffee is about 13 pounds, while that of tea is one and one-half pounds. The price of tea, however, is more than double that of coffee. = RESCUES FAWN FROM WOLF. Wisconsin Farmer Saves Life of Beautiful White Deer Near Chippewa Falls. A beautiful white deer, a pure albino, was captured a few days ago near Chip- pewa Falls, Wis. by Charles Liddell. It is the only one known in the west- ern states. Mr. Liddell was surveying at. the time, when the fawn, for it is yet young, ran through the underbrush and fell at his feet exhausted. A mo- ment later a timber wolf appeared in pursuit of the fawn. Mr. Liddell drove the wolf away with a club and took the fawn to his farm. Permission has since been received from the game warden to keep it. ‘Woodmen in northern Minnesota re- port that during the summer they have seen at various times a white moose, and on each occasion it has been accom- panied by seven other moose. The ani- mal is young, according to reports, and from the distance seen appeared to be a male. It is feared that hunting par- ties will try to kill this animal for the hide. In Smoky Chicago. Hereafter it will cost fixe cents to have a pair of cuffs washed and ironed in Chicago.
