A WINGED CRIMINAL.
One of the Possibilities of the Future
Aerial Navigation.
"In looking over a New York paper
recently-? noticed that Edison said
humanity ought to be ashamed of it
self for not having solved the problem
of aerial navigation," said an observ
ant citizen; "and I guess Edison must
be rigbt^afcpnt lt. It w?ald seem that an
age of such marvelous achievements
along other lines ought to have solved
this interesting and important prob
lem. Can't we do as much as the
hirds? But I was thinking of the
many possibilities which are wrapped
up in.this problem^ and when we come
to think'of it the sudden solution of
the problem, while it would be of great
benefit J:o"hun\anity, would bring Into
existence a fair quota of embarrass
ments. It would change the whole as
peet of the situation in many respects.
There _wpuld .no doubt be balloon
elopements, and hot pursuits through

"But. really, there is a more serious
way of looking at the possibilities of
the flying machine. Take the criminal
classes, for instance. What would
hinder the safe blower, the burglar
and the murderer from sailing out in
to the air "after the commission of a
desperate offense? If they used bal
loons they could simply cut the lines
and be gone in a jiffy. If they used
any other appliance the result would
he the same. They would simply float
out into the open air... Policemen

The First Actresses.
Until the time of Charles II. there
were no actresses, the women's parts
being taken hy effeminate-looking,
men or boys. A good story is told of
a certain play at which the King was
kept walting a long time, in spite of
his frequent remonstrances. At last
he became angry, and the manager
was obliged to tell the truth: "An*
it please you. sire, the Queen Is shav
ing!" The King was so tickled that
he spent the rest of the time he was
obliged to walt In laughing merrily.
Pepys mentions in his Diary that on
Jan. 3, 1661, he first saw women ou
the stage, but this was not the first
time they had appeared, for in De
cember, 1660, a woman had appeared
as Desdemona.
Horned Horses.
Prof. Woodward, of the Natural
History Museum, of South Kensing
ton, London, who has been engaged
for some time past in excavating" at
Pikermi, near Marathon, has recently
completed his work. One of the
most valuable discoveries is a collec
tion of heads of horned horses. They
were unearthed at Euborea, where
the professor carried on some experi
mental excavations for palaeonto
logies remains. In addition to the
heads cf the horned horses, the heads
and shin bones of rhinoceri and other
prehistoric animals were discovered.
It is curious that out of the six places
in the world where the remains of the
horned horse have been found three
are in Greece and a fourth in Samos,
in the Greek archipelago.

J A WILD HORSE DKIVS \
? . AUSTRALIAN BOSH. \
# - 4
fy By COL. JOHN F. IIOUDS. Q
The waiting stockman had Scarcely
passed friendly fc'ree?ngs with the
squad which had ridden up from Emu
Creek, when a cloud of black dust
pushed itself around the bend and
across the road at the turn, and two
big horses shot out of Lt into th?
straight.
"It's a bolt!" shouted ?om?-.
"No-ifs a race* G4v% 'm the road!
Ifs them t.w<o chestnuts settling the
match m&de up at Carmichael's," cried
ethers.
The thump, thump, thump Oft th?
level, black prairie indicated the em-A
estness of the contest, and along came
the two horses like ? physical cyclone.
With a snort ?.ntl whish they shot past
the waiting crowd, who mingled a yell
with the dust as they passed.
The cloud had barely cleared behind
them when the chestnuts cantered
back and were joined by the incongru-1
ous jumble of hackneys, cobs and pie
balds of all sorts, thc mounts of the
stockmen gathered for the brumby
drive, at which half the country side
was expected. ?
"What is thc exact nature ot* a
brumby drive?" asked Burnaby, a
newcomer, of one of the older men.
"Ifs a sort o' rough horas frolic for
us bush coves," the bushman explained
politely, and seeing that thc stranger
did nu understand, he continued:
"McIntyre's leased the Range from the
gove'nment. Ifs wild crown lands on
th' maps, an' them flats an' scrubs is
full o' brumbys, which 'ro a no-bred
sort o' wild horses that no one don't
know how they got here. That ain't
no matter; they"re herc, an' thc beg
gers got to be shifted, or thc whole
range's no food fr stock breed"n'. So
Mac's goin' fround 'em up an' drive
'em out. That's th' ineanin' o' this
gatherin' o' hands at Carmichael's.
D'ye understand?"
"Are there many to drive out?"
"Many! there're more 'an a thous
and over there in th' scrub, an' Mac
has th' gov'ment c on trac' f scrub up
th' lot. We coves'll make a clean job
'f the Goomburra, Joudaryan, an' Yan
dilla boundary riders come in. An' 'f
tl ' f':rr:r;"*"T','% hinVps hear o' this
east and west, wuu...-, -. .
brumbys come down out of the hills
to graze toward the creek in thc early
morning, and by one ihey return to
the shades of the dense woods where
they remain during the parching hours
of the afternoon sun.
"Now," said McCurdy, whom McIn
tyre had engaged to command, "let's
see. There are nearly one hundred of
us, an' we should yard a good mob
oufr that lot if they're down in force.
Ifs been pretty dry, and they've got
f make th' creek and back. Ifs now
after ten o'clock. It's a good two miles
'round f Womba paddock, an' three
more f th' range. It'll take some care
ful ridin' mates, an' ticklish work, f
keep th' mob from breakin' through.
Hoi' "em steady, an' hoi' 'em fgether.
If they breaks, an' the leaders ain't
turned, 'Old Nick' 'imself couldn't stay
th' break they'll malee for them hills,
an' th' jig'U be up fr a couple o'
weeks, 'ntil th' scare's ouf r them."
Jollity had ceased; a dead, earnest
calm settled in its place. The noisy,
hilarious crowd of an hour before had
settled down into a sober, silent pha
lanx on business intent. The rollick
ing bushman had quieted into the
stolid, fearless frontiersman, ready to
throw life and skill into a desperate
encounter with a treacherous foe, for
the Australian wild horse, when press
ed, attacks like . a demon-rushes,
rears, kicks, bites and fights doggedly
vicious when retreat is cut off.
In such a hazardous and rapid con
flict hi's pursuers who do not come
down or suffer in thc encounter must
be daring and accustomed, horsemen.
As the line of mounted men strung
around thc base ol' the mountain to
the northeastern extremity, the trained
bush eye could discern a big forest ris
ing on the Horizon miles away towards
the treeless creek.
"There they are, watering, as I
said," observed McCurdy, pointfng to
the north. Taking his nickel-plat?d
watch from its leather pocket at his
side on his waiststrap and looking at
it, he continued, 'and ifs 10:15. Them
coves'll be in coo-ee in another quar
ter. Bail up a minute, mates," the
leader called to lae line behind him.
"I don't see anything," said the
stranger, withdrawing his tired eyes
from the shimmering main, "except
the lake out the?e and the forest be
yond it."
A burst of laughter about him
greeted this observation.
Thc merriment was understood by
the visitor when a drover said:
"You ain't used f dry plains much,
mate. Old-timers don't hunt water no
more when they sees a glass face like
that. If they're pretty dry them
sel's, an's beer bushed in 'r dry spell,
in 'r dry country, an' strike a glace
lawn like that out there, why they just
looks 'roun' fr a shady plr.ee f die in.
an' leave th'r white nones fr their
epitaph."
"That white glimmer is not water;
It is the hot air, and t!.e evaporation
from the earth. Look back. It is
everywhere the sanio. See?"
"I can see the shadows of the trees
reflected in the water beneath them."
replied the visitor, with the persis
tence of a jackaroo and a growing
suspicion that he was being made a
butt of by the mischievous stockmen.
"You see reflections, it is tru>\ but
those are not trees, and that is not
water." said McIntyre. "That decep
tion which you arr ; coking at has
fooled many a new :;stU?r, and led
him on from hope uf hop? into drier
plain* with no chance of gutting water
and finally to die of thirst. Old hands
like us now know better. What you
see before you is what the books
would call a land mirage, or optical de
lusion, and is peculiarly Characteristic
of Australia-"
Tom McCurdy drew 'th? Crowd back
into its ?usirtesfi mti'o'd by yelling;
''Cno-c?-ey!''
"r?e?v 'm, Tbm?" asked Mcintjrk
*'Yesi ct the fe?H^er?'"
Th? WU s?u'idcd again and the echo
bartie louder along the bluff.
"Move down a stretch, an's soon's
Fisher's line roun's th' point 'n Hflft
off, dash at thc biggara ?Vii there with
a yell; get 'em ?r?ghlene'd, get 'em on
th' go-, fen' keep 'em at it 'ntil they
call fe raft on us. Then, look out!"
Carl Fisher's squad cantered over
the wooden mound, down the rubble
tiope at the gap and strung out along
the palisade of the abrupt face of the
mountain, and'-then swung out into the
prairie facing the miraged brumbys
at a lively canter.
McCur?y's men loped leisurely out
ta line off from Fisher's end. The
long cavalcade of honu>me&"the& gaU
loped abreast over the undulating
plain M quietly as the duli thump of
the ?peedifig animals .vbuld permit;
th ?iii to-.
When the m&Vt be?t bf the gallop
ifig h.?i?es st?rted 'the grazing brum
bys and they threw up their heads,
'McCurdy knew the time had come-.
'"Giv'm a dash, a whoop, fen' ? r?ufi'
up for'd." ho ?omman^e?, giving his
own nl?etl i???e rein. With a terrific
yell the drivers dashed in upon the
affrighted wild animals; the dogs
rounding the ends, and turning the
scattering ones to the center.
Tho startled horses bunched, hud
dled in undecided confusion, made a
momentary stand, and theft ? spas*
modic lunge against the Whooping yel
lers, who heat against the circling
ma?S Ol' agitated wild animals to break
the corral, and head out a leader for
a drive forward.
Burnaby never saw a livelier or a
noisier nieco of work than thia reek'
less charge and manipulation of an
untamed mob of bush horses by these
daring frontiersmen. Men rode around
and fought the snapping, pawing
brutes, fencing hoofs and gnashing
teeth with their stock butts as though
it were athletic play. Finally, Tom
McCurdy and big Bill Lindsay wedged
into thc mass, and kneaded through to
the opposite side, when a furious stal
lion ??ve them chase.
This made an opening. With anoth
er shoving whoop, and the flurry of
the big stallion's chase, and the dogs
nagging at their heels, the disconcert
ed buncb headed out after Tom and
the pursuing steed. The riders in the
rear kept up a fearful din of yells,
which, with charges . and clubbing,
soon stampeded the lot toward the
creek.
It was now a pell-mell chase-fleet,
unhampered steeds of nature, against
the hardened weight-bearing horses of
industry.
Carl Fisher rode at the head of the
right wing, Tom McCurdy and Bill
Lindsay in the lead, while McIntyre
guided the left, riding wide, in a kind
a bow, so that the extreme ends
-??ni/a of the
tie against thc high WHIM. .
great bulk of the mob pushed and
crowded themselves into the ravines of
the beaten trail and crossed.
"Come cn, lads." McCurdy called
back across the stream; "there's no
time t' divide or stop. Keep th' beg
gars 'r movin'."
Small bunches were abandoned here
and there as they broke through, and
pursuit forced after the main body.
By good generalship, hard riding,
and with the aid of dogs the galloping
brumbys w-?re rushed up the laps of
the muster yard, before they halted
in their eight-mile race across the
onirie into the friendly forest which
they felt sure would shelter them.
So long as this delusion lasted it
lent speed to their Heels, but when it
was dispelled The leaders, feeling the
strong panels of the narrowing wings
of tho muster yard, showed disposition
to jib and contest thc ground. The
forward ones being blocked by the in
creasing jam. the rear ones were left
to hatti?. The stockmen pressed for
ward and precipitated the fray by at
tn? king the stubborn ones, which were
rapidly worked into a mood for any
sort of encounter.
In less than ten minutes.from the
first halt and onslaught, a terrific bat
tle was bei*?g fought in which brumby
assaulted and 'ought horse and rider.
The prair '' josh steeds bit, kicked,
stood upon their hind legs and with
their front feet pawed with a deter
mination and intelligence which seem
ed human. These were critical tiroes
which imperiled tho lives of the at
tacking parly, but after an hour of
this mixed combat, the bulk of the
fractious quadrupeds were crowded in
to the stockpen arid safely yarded.
"Three hundred and forty-two," an
nounced Tom McCurdy and ne stood
on his saddle and counted the herd.
Then .he company took stock of
accidents and bruises. Elsas Sawyer
had a fractured thigh; three horses
were injured about the nock and shoul
ders, and one dog-a worthless cur
trampled beyond recovery. Minor
bruises and sprained limbs made up
the remainder of the casualties, save
for a piece which a fighting horse

Few people who travel, and few,Of
those who daily dopend upon tile rail
roads of the coilnlry for the hauling
?>f freight, have any idea of the part
which the army of men who work,
day in and out, on repairs only, play
in the world of transportation, nor
of how many thousands of human
lives are annually saved by thc con
scientious attention of these mfcn to
their work. In the Inspecting ?hd re
pairing department's of the Ameritan
railroads are employed not less thad
100,000 men, to whose skill and quick
perception the publie owes a debt ?f
gratitude-.
Th? ?v?r?ge b?ssehger train is th?r
Q?ghly inspected at all large citi?si
?00 to ?50 miles ap?ri.; ana te hdstily
looked byer ht mkfty olaer stops be
sides. Six minutes' time is allowed
fer ? thorough inspection. Four men;
two ?'t each end, begin the work of
looking over the Wheels, the trucks,
the couplings and all parts of the car
vhich arc liable to get out of order.
These men from both ends meet at
the middle of the train, and the in
spection is completed. While they are
doing this, work the oiler, who is nick
named in the car repairing circle
sometimes as tho "doper," looks ??t
for hat boxes and properly lubricated
all the heated parts. At t?i? same ih
?t?nt the ic?-man, with his tongs, is
lifting chunks of ice into the tanks
in the interior of the coaches.
Freight trains are inspected with
just as much care as the passenger
coaches, but, the work being done up
on the repair tracks, in an obscure l?*
cation, the public practically sees
nothing of it. At some of tne princi
pal repair tracks, even in cities of
?ot more than 15,000 population, as
nany as 1200 and 1500 cars are in
spected every 24 hours, and this by
faur men, two working nights and two
(jays. When a train moves in upon a
track for an inspection but a half
ijiinute is allowed to each car, and so
rapid are tue workmen that they do
ii thoroughly in this time. Were the
railroads not sure that these men arc
perfectly capable of- doing the work
ii the time now allotted, they would,
ol course, increase the limit, for if
ttere is one department more than
aiother in which the railroads are par
tfcular about perfect work it is in the
like of proper and adequate repairs.
{When a train of cars arrives in the
ytrds near the repair tracks the re
pjirers place a blue flag in daytime,
oj a blue light at night, at each end
ol the train. This warns railroaders
tiat the inspectors are at work on the
tifin, though they may not bc visible,
ojten being under the cars. The loco
motive must not be attached when
tiese blue signals show forth from
the ends of the train. One of the in

brakes upon it. Box cars with leaky
roofs must bc transferred to some dis
tinct line of of traffic, such as the car
rying of coke.
No one can well doubt, that the ctr !
repairers are skilled workmen. They j
must be able to discern checks on a .
wheel and know that eventually it may !
mean a crack wnich will develop into
a broken wheel. A broken wheel, in
turn, may mean a fearful wreck. When
a man begins as a car repairer he must
first work abdnt the repair track with
some one who is experienced, and be
fore he learns perfectly every part of
thc trade should spend, perhaps, two or
three years. It would seem that these
men would receive big pay" but they
do not get as much as in many of the .
other'departments. Western roads, it
is said, pay men more than the east
ern for this wont. In some parts of
the eastern and central states they get
but 15 1-2 cents an hour, while the
switchmen of the same locality get in
the neighborhood of 25 cents an hour.
This the repairers believe is a bit
unjust, and they are now in some sec
tions of the country asking that their ?
wages be raised.
Of late there has been a tendency
to change the plan of this work to thai,
cf piecework, but the chango has not
yet boen in effect .ong enough for the
man to feel just sure how they like
It By the piecework plan they are
paid a certain scale rate for each
separate bit of work they do. For
example, if there is to be a sill put
into a car the workman is paid the
scale rate for placing sills. The ques
tions which arise, however, relate to
whether ho is lo be paid for the extra
work he must do in tearing away
timbers and bolts in a disabled car
prior lo putting in tho now sill. Tn
some instances this would require? a
long time; in other instances not so
long.
Wrecking crews are usually station
ed at two or three points on a divi
sion. There is usually one large stcftn
wrecker, with a lifting capacity of 50
tons, and ' then there will be ons or
two hand-wreckers. The men on these
wreckers receive the same wages as
t..e enr repairers who work on the re
pairs tracks, except that for extra time
the men on thc wreckers receive about
20 cents an hour. The average wreck
er carries a crew of 12 men. These,
of course, aro skilled in their particu
lar line. The modern machinery with
which they work is marvelous in many
lespcctn. Everv on; is familiar with
the remarkably bho.'t t';: r? ."-at ls re
quired tc- clear a track in tn':: day.
That which would require but a few
hours now would have taken several
days a quarter-century ago'.
The average American railroad sys
tem employs several thousand men
in its repair departments alone. In
the big shops of the companies the
largest numbers are employed, but
even in small cities as high as 125
men will be kept steadil}' at work.

THE ROMANCE OF ? S?UALL

The rescue of ? young v/om?fi from
? capsized sailboat inst summer in the
bay by the captain and mate of a Prov
idence tugboat has resulted in a ro
mantic wedding. Capt. . Warren H.
Brown, hb>V of tho. towboat Gaspee,
was married Saturday night by the
Rev. Charles Den?cld to Miss Clara L.
Pickering of Edgewood, who owes her
life to the captain's act.
It was on the 2d of last July. It was
rather stormy, late in the day. with
thunder, lightning and squalls, and
among the craft that were on the bay
was a Blooping yacht, hi whicri a party,
consisting bf J: Walter1 Pickering. Mrs.
Pickering, their ?.W0 daughters and
Agria Johnson and Ethel Tucker, was
out on a pleasure trip. When they
were off Potter's Cove at Prudence
island, the boat was struck by a squall
and was capsized. There was a small
rowboat with tin sailboat, but no oars,
and when the accident came the occu
pants had to take to the bottom of the
yacht, as the smaller boat would hold
but three.
The women were in the cabin when
the squall struck them, and it waa
necessary to break the windows in or
der to get them out. As the boat
would not hold all, and there was a
chance of bringing assistance by reach
ing shore, Mr. Pickering, with the two
smaller girls, Miss Tucker and his
youD^st daughter. Miss !3ssiA. sra?!?d
for the shore, paddling the boat with
a broom. Tney disappeared ill tho
darkness, leaving Mrs. Pickering and
ona daughter and Miss Johnson lying
upon the boat's side, which was about
18 inches above the surface of the wat
er for about six feet of her length. For
four hours they lay clinging to the
boat as best they could, with hands
that had bein badly cut by the jagged
edges of tin cabin windows.
About 10 o'clock the tug Gertrude,
with two barges in town, which bad
left Providence early in the evening,
reached tho vicinity, and Capt. T. C.
Brown thought he heard a faint cry
for help. Fe steered toward the sound
and found the women clinging to the
boat. They wero nearly exhausted
and probably could not have hold on
more "than J5 minutes longer. Capt.
Brown called to his mete, and, bring
ing his boat alongside, jumped from
the pilothouse to tho deck. A rope
was thrown to the women, but they
were unable to grasp it, and so Wil

reaching hero about midnight. i...,
women wero taken lo .Mr. Pickering's
home at T<53 Smith slrcpt in Edgewood,
and left in charge of their friends.

the father of the bridegroom of Sat

first who naw the Bhln-wrenittd party
