A Mn CUtmliiE tu Ilea Survivor (lives
nn Account of (tin Loss of tho Vessel.
Dt'i.trrii, Minn., Dec. 8. Mr. Carlton
has iccclved ft letter from a friend who was
n passenger on tho fated Mnnlstoo. "When
tho boat went out," tho letter says, ''wncn
countered n very Vowy gnlo from the south
west, and when about twenty miles oul
tho boat w'tis put about, but could tint
niako It. Tho life-boats wero taken out,
but beforo they wero launched nil but vtio
'wero swept nway In tho storm, nnd
only nlno persons who wcru on tho boat
were allowed to get In. Wo lintl a ttrtlblo
tlmo. After tlio boat went down there was
notlilnc but n wide expanse of water boforo
us. Wo rollod around un tlio turbulent
wavca cold, wet and hungry for thrco days,
nnd nno by ono tho waifs dropixid olTt death
linlngcomo to their relief. .Somo of tlicnt
were froti'-n to death, whllo somo died from
sheer exhaustion und cxinwiire to tho wind.
Captain McKay never left tlio boat, but
wrapped himself tip In his lioavy ovorcont
nnd remarked: ! will nover lenvo the boat
until the last soul U oil. I am Captain ol
this boat, nnd If sho If a cofllu for anybody
silo will be my rollln.' After the men luul
left tlm boat the .Mnnldco made ono plungo
under tho waics, nnd that was tho last ol
her. When wo left tho vessel there
were Hits crow nnd ten or eleven
passengers on board, nnd out of
those wlio started, out In tho boat
only three were sa veil and reached Hough
ton. The wreck occurred oft Eaglo Harbor,
mid there wan no possible cbanco of, saving
tho vessel under tho circumstance). At Ilia
last, when everybedy know thcro vim no
lintie, Capt. McKay gave Ids orders Just as
cool nnd collectedly as If ho wm on land."
A body floated near tlio snoro at Pigeon
llher, nnd fruitless endeavors wero made,
to secure It. It Is supposed to bo a corpse
from tlio Manistee, but was not ldcntlllcd
In any way.

An Imprisoned Nihilist, In a Letter tVrlt

Inliiultles.
Lo.Miox, Dec. 8. A Paris correspondent
forwards n second letter written In blood bj
n Nihilist In tho TroubleUkol fort at St
Petersburg. It describes tho harrowing
ticatiuent of prisoners, nnd says their food
Is often moldy nnd sotnotnrvw putrid.
Dysentery and scurvy be says are prevalent,
nnd the doctors nro afraid to touch the. pa
tients. Few medicines were prescribed,
and when ordered wore generally counter
iliandod. The prisoners, tlio lettors says,
rot nway and exhnlo odors of dead bodies
beforo llfo Is extinct
Tim number of those who go mad In con
8Citicnce of their nullcrlngs Is dally Increas
In if, tho madinoii bcln strapped down nnd
whipped with tho knout ty tlio koeners.
l'lorco yells resound throughout the night.
n.d many ot tlio prisoners nave coimr'iuxi
suicide. It Is said ono woman was gutrnged
anil then poisoned.
Itnts are tho worst enemies of the prison
ers. A woman with her young babo was
obltgod to bo constantly on the watch and
fight nlht and day to pinvcnt the rats from
devouring the child. Tlio use ot combs and
imp Is forbidden, and the prisoners, espe
cially tho women, whoso hair Is allowed to
grow, nro literally devoured by vermin.
Tho jailers nro only kind to thoso having
money, Tho prLsouora who reiuso to reply
to questions nro tortured, and casosot the
violation of women are froquout. Tho writer
especially appeals to tho civilized world In
bdinlf of the women In tho prison, whoso
situation, lie says, U far worso than half of
tlio men.

Tlssandlcr's Electric Ilnlloon.
M. Gaston Tlssnnd'cr and his brother
Albert havo constructed 11 balloon with
an electrical propellor, consisting of tho
balloon proper, tho gas generator ana
tho clectromotlvo apparatus driven by
a battery of 24 blchmmato colls. The
balloou Id cigar-shaped, '.'8 meters long
and 9.20 motors in diameter. Its vol
ume Is 1,000 cublo meters, and au auto
matic valvo Is provided. Tho car Is
constructed of bamboo and susnendod
bv ribands. Tho balloon was tilled on
October 8 In seven hours by four hydro
gen generators, uncrating pure gas oy
tho decomiiosltlon of water in presence
of iron and sulphuric acid. Tho gas
was purillcd by caustlo soda and cal
cined chloride of lime. Tbo pure gas
thus obtained gave an ascensional fo.'co
of 1,180 graranios weight per cub'.o
meter of gas, a higher result than has
hitherto licon obtained. Tho olectrlo
balloon, with its motor ablo to act three
6xtb, weighs 701 kilogrammes. To
this the weight of two persons has to be
added, say 380 klllogramraes for M.
Tissandlor and his brother. On Octo
ber 8, obont8:20p. ro., these gentle
men ascendod frpni their workshop at
Autcull, In a fecblo east-south-eost
wind. At the earth tho wind was al
most nil. but at a height of 00 meters
tho wind obtained a veloo'ty of three
meters per second. The electrlo ap
paratus allowed of four speeds of the
propeller, from 60 to 180 turni per min
ute, and tho aeronauts proved that they
could puWpeed and breast tbe wind, aa

It Is of cotirso well known to men of

standing has undortakon lo n-ssort that

tho subject, nor has nny hypothesis
been framed which Is frco from very
formidable objections and Incongru
ities. Dr Hastings sees strong
reasons for doubting tho theory that
the sun Is surrounded by an atmos
phere of Incandescent gas extending to
height of 600,000 miles above the
photosphere, or possibly to doaMe that
height, and that somo mysterious; solf
